Climate Observations Peter Domonkos

Climate Observations: Data Quality Control and Time Series Homogenization pulls together the different phases of the production of high-quality climatic datasets, with which interested readers will be able to obtain a coherent picture about the complexity and importance of this task. There are several new methods of time series homogenization, each very complex and fast developing over the last several decades. The thematic discussion of the production of high quality climatic datasets in this book provides the opportunity to understand more deeply how to reduce errors, which starts with the careful installation of meteorological instruments, continues with the application of strict observing rules and inspections, and ends with the use of sophistically developed statistical software to detect and remove still existing errors or biases. Climate Observations is intended for professionals working on climate data management at the national meteorological services, for the users of observed climatic data, and for students and researchers studying atmospheric and climate science.
