Principles of Forecasting
Climate Forecasting Panel
In this panel at the International Symposium on Forecasting in Boston, Green, Armstrong and Soon will argue that Fildes and Kourentzes's 2011 findings extend and reinforce their 2009 findings. They make suggestions for further extensions and, with the help of new forecasts from Fildes and Kourentzes's models, present new findings on some of the proposed extensions. Robert Fildes will be on the panel, as will ISF featured speaker Professor Leonard Smith (LSE), and leading climate scientist Professor Richard Lindzen (MIT). The session will allow time for questions and discussion.
