Running means are very popular to smooth noisy time series. Unfortunately, they have unpleasant side effects. Here is an example to demonstrate the effect of running means.

I like animations for teaching. Here is an example, the animation of a convolution, in this example a (better to avoid) running mean of a length of five with zero padding.

The new #ScholarAI by #OpenAI is offered as a tool that helps us to summarise extensive literature on a subject area. Here is the result of an experiment I did this morning with some thoughts on the use in research and teaching:

A biologist from the National Museums of Kenya joint us on an expedition to the Suguta Valley in Kenya. The biologist started to count the flamingos 🦩 on a lake, while I immediately thought about doing this automatically with a little MATLAB script:

How do you deal with critical reviews on Amazon since you can no longer write a reply? Potential buyers are confused, so do I have to respond? Here's an attempt after it happened for the second time:

Artificial neural networks (#ANNs) are widely used in the geosciences. There are numerous convenient tools in #MATLAB to get started, but the examples used in the tutorials are usually very complex. Here is a very simple MATLAB example:

Earth scientists analyze data in order to understand the processes in the Earth system. But do we also understand how the data is generated? My book about signal and noise provides answers to questions about how data acquisition changes earth science data.

This week I am teaching a course for 21 employees of the Federal Institute for Materials Research. This is a completely different audience from the Swiss doctoral students a two weeks ago, but their questions about data analysis are no less interesting! #matlab #python

Reading meteorological parameters through a weather station connected to the Internet has gained great popularity. Unfortunately, #Netatmo has changed the authentication process – and the code from my book „Signal and Noise“ needed an update:

In this group at least there was a tendency back because of frustration with limited sustainability of code and missing / expensive professional support.

I'm afraid so. I used it in the early 1990s, but never again after that. I use Papers, which is much cheaper and better. Others use the numerous free alternatives.

After writing the 6th edition for #MATLAB and the 2nd edition for #Python in parallel for the first time, both books have just gone to print at @SpringerGeo in the same minute. It will take a while, but they will certainly appear on the bookshelf in 2024 🥳
