REPORT of STAHY-WG Session at AGU Fall meeting
During the Americal Geophysical Union – AGU Fall meeting the second iniziative promoted by STAHY Working Group was held in San Francisco on December 19th.
STAHY sponsored the session “Recent Development of Statistical Tools for Hydrological Application” characterized by 10 posters and 6 oral contributions.
The major contribution topics were related to Bayesian approach, Copula function, Long range dependance, Emprical model decomposition and Wavelet. Many types of applications were presented using different data sets: Rainfall, Temperature, Groundwater leves, Superficial aquifer, Soil analysis, Hydraulic conductivity.
I would like to highlight the contributions of O.J. Mesa and V. K. Gupta on Hurst parameter and of B. Schaefli on Bayesian spectral likelihood.
