SWGEN 2025 - Conference on Stochastic Weather Generators

2-4 Dec 2025 Grenoble (France)

Meeting description

Stochastic weather generators are statistical models, also known as stochastic emulators or simulators. By simulating ensemble fields and/or time series, these algorithms aim to reproduce the probability distribution characteristics of certain targeted weather and climate variables. Stochastic weather data generators are essential components of many studies, for example, agricultural and hydrological risk studies, stochastic downscaling of climate models, or infrastructure safety studies. SWGEN 2025 will bring together a broad panel of researchers, practitioners and graduate students in statistics, applied mathematics, hydrology, atmospheric sciences, climate and energy sciences to discuss and disseminate state-of-the-art methods and recent applications of stochastic weather data generators. Topics of interest in this field include:

High-dimensional, non-stationary, spatio-temporal models
Multivariate, non-Gaussian, non-linear processes
Multi-scale, state-space models
Extremes
Artificial intelligence (generative models)

with applications in :

climatology
hydrology
agriculture
air quality
ecology
insurance
renewable energies (solar, wind, etc.)
environmental engineering

Previous editions of the conference were held in 2012 in Roscoff, 2014 in Avignon (France), 2016 in Vannes (France), 2018 in Boulder (US). The 2020 edition scheduled for Lyon (France) was cancelled due to the pandemic. Since then, no further editions have been organized. We hope to relaunch the conference cycle with this new edition.
