Greetings,

I have developed a new technique for finding subtle patterned (i.e.,
nonrandom) behavior that seems applicable to a wide range of
experimental data.  I am now in the process of refining the technique.

It seems that a promising application is to meteorological or
climatological data.  I wish to make contact with experimentalists who
collect appropriate data and who are open to collaborating in
searching for patterns within them.

Here are some examples of promising datasets:

(1) The x,y,t parameters of raindrops that fall onto an x,y point on a
surface at a time t, perhaps also with further parameters kinetic
energy, or mass and velocity.

(2) A time series of the x,y,z locations of the eyes of all storms
over the planet.

Here is NOT a good example for the present technique:

(1) The daily accumulation of rainfall at site X over 10 years.

If anyone is interested in this suggestion, please contact me directly
by email, since I am not a subscriber to this discussion group.
Thanks for your attention.
