Software
- Empirical Climate Prediction System (ECliPS). A knowledge management system designed specifically for climate forecasting (although it can be used in other areas of environmental research). ECliPS is an excellent organizational tool that provides guidance for the users and facilitates their access to relevant information. It can can help dealing with a common problem in climate research -- information overload -- by translating information into usable knowledge. ECliPS can be purchased with or without the data and knowledge bases. Contact us if you are interested in obtaining ECliPS.
- Regime Shift Detector (Free). A convenient tool that automatically detects regime shifts in a time series, in both the mean and variance. It has a number of advantages over other existing methods: better performance at the end of time series, indicates a possibility of a shift in real time, can be tuned up to detect shifts of different scales, works well in the case of a moderate linear trend, no need to calculate anomalies prior to applying the method, etc. The latest version of the software (v. 3.3) can handle time series with autocorrelation. Hence, it can separate regimes due to persistence from the true regimes with different statistics.
