Because of the complexity of this variability, perspectives from probability theory provide a natural framework for understanding and predicting atmospheric changes. I will talk about the ways in which such perspectives help bring order to randomness when thinking about weather and climate.=0D=0A= =0D=0A= About Cafe Scientifque:=0D=0A= =0D=0A= As an informal seminar series, UVic's Café Scientifique program bridges the research-to-public gap. These evening cafés provide insight into topics of popular interest that appeal to the science lover in everyone and serve as a fantastic opportunity for you to meet local researchers and discuss some of the most interesting and sometimes contentious research currently underway in Canada.
