Statistical Data Analysis for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences
Studies of local and global phenomena generate descriptions which require statistical analysis. In this text, H. Jean Thiebaux presents a succinct yet comprehensive review of the fundamentals of statistics as they pertain to studies in oceanic and atmospheric sciences. The text includes an accompanying disk with compatible Minitab sample data. Together, this volume and the included data provide insights into the basics of statistical inference, data analysis, and distributional models of variability. Oceanographers, meteorologists, marine biologists, and other environmental scientists will find this book of great value as a statistical tool for their continuing studies.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
"Its innovative style, real-life examples and exercises at the conclusion of chapters, should be found interesting and valuable by readers." --Zbigniew Sorbjan, University of Oklahoma, in PAGEOPH
"The text provides a good coverage of the classical distributions of traditional statistics....Overall, the author is to be congratulated for presenting a human oriented, rather than a robot oriented, book about statistics..." --INTERATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY
