<\/p>\n

I am a physicist by training and have affiliations with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute<\/a> [My views here are personal and may not necessarily represent those of Met Norway]. I have a D.Phil<\/em> in physics from Atmospheric, Oceanic & Planetary Physics at Oxford University<\/a> in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n

Recent work involve a good deal of statistics (empirical-statistical downscaling, trend analysis, model validation, extremes and record values), but I have also had some experience with electronics, cloud micro-physics, ocean dynamics\/air-sea processes and seasonal forecasting. In addition, I wrote the book ‘Solar Activity and Earth’s Climate’ (2002), published by Praxis-Springer, and together with two colleagues the text book ‘Empirical-Statistical Downscaling’ (2008; World Scientific Publishers). I have also written a number of R-packages for climate analysis posted http:\/\/cran.r-project.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was a member of the council of the European Meteorological Society<\/a> for the period (2004-2006), representing the Nordic countries and the Norwegian Meteorology Society, and have served as a member of CORDEX Task Force on Regional Climate Downscaling. <\/p>\n

In my work, I often get questions from media and lay persons about climate change. I believe it is necessary to approach these questions with identifying what we really don’t know and what we are more sure about. I believe that some of Karl Popper ideas about falsification can be useful. <\/p>\n
