Equally, there are very many books, both for statisticians and environmental scientists, on \""Time Series Analysis\"", analysing the structure of data sequences where measurements are made at equal time-intervals and are free from \""intermittent\"" behaviour. But this book deals with the analysis of events which occur intermittently in time and space; through a very wide range of examples drawn from many areas of environmental science in which the role of water is central, the book shows how the same analytical procedures can be applied to very many different problems.
