In contrast to many existing algorithms for outlier and anomaly detection, our method does not search for point-wise anomalies, but for contiguous anomalous intervals. We demonstrate the suitability of our approach through numerous experiments on climate data, including detection of hurricanes, North Sea storms, and low-pressure fields.}, doi = {10.1109/OCEANSE.2017.8084569}, groups = {noveltydetection}, }
