Climate scientists should take notice of the many important contributions coming out of a relatively small and diverse community dealing with stochastic processes. Thus, this book serves a very useful purpose in providing a broad and current review of stochastic methods used in climate research. ... the book does a very good job of reviewing the state of the art of stochastic physics in climate modeling, and can be wholeheartedly recommended to any researcher seriously interested in that line of research.
