STARDEX Deliverable D10
Objective
To recommend methodologies for identification of the best predictor variables for extreme events.
Responsible author
Outline
The STARDEX work described in the partner contributions to this deliverable indicates that the best predictor variables vary with region, season and predictand.
Thus the D10 synthesis report focuses on methodologies for identification of the best predictor variables and makes recommendations as to how the process can be carried out as objectively as possible.
