Workshop Description
The method of Self-organizing maps (SOMs) is an artificial neural network data analysis technique that objectively stratifies large volumes of data into a smaller number of recurring patterns on a physically meaningful basis. SOMs have been used for the past 20+ years in the atmospheric and climate sciences identifying patterns in sea-level pressure, winds, relative humidity, and vertical profiles of potential temperature, to name a few applications. This workshop will provide an introduction to the application of SOMs in atmospheric and climate sciences by providing an overview of SOMs, a description of what is done during SOM training, and reviewing two common methods to create SOMs and corresponding analyses. Throughout the presentation there will be a variety examples provided showing the different ways in which SOMs have been applied to atmospheric and climate sciences.
