Data acquisition techniques and multiscale geophysical variability

Objective



Geophysical fields can be characterized by an extreme variability over a wide range of scales. One way of studying this variability is the multifractal /multiscaling approach which describes it on all scales and all intensities.
In this theoretical framework we propose to study the important question of measurements, which are obtained averaging the field at a given scale. Several problems, which are not completely solved yet, arise when we want to understand the relationship between scales and instruments: the resolution dependence of instrumental data; the relations between time average at a given location and space average at a given time; and also the influence of a network of measurements on the data.
These questions will be studied in a statistical framework, and the theoretical hypothesis and derivations will be validated and tested on the numerous geophysical data series which are already available concerning temperature, rain, wind velocity and pressure fields.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
