Topics
The main topics will be addressed during the workshop:
- Data rescue: investigation, cataloguing, digitization, imaging.
- Climate observations: standards and best practices,
- Metadata: WMO Information System (WIS), INSPIRE, climate networks rating guides
- Quality control: automatic/manual of climate time-series, on-line data, real-time observations.
- Archiving: retention periods, depository, climate service centers and data collections for scientific and public use, databases, data access, user interface, data distribution.
- Homogenization of climate time-series from sub-daily to monthly scale
- Homogenization methods, assessment of inhomogeneity
- Theoretical evaluation and benchmark for methods, validation statistics
- Applications of different homogenization and quality control methods, experiences with different meteorological variables
- Temporal scales: from synoptic situations to climatological mean values
- Interpolation formulas and loss functions depending on the spatial probability distribution of climate variables
- Estimation and modelling of statistical parameters (e.g.: spatial trend, covariance or variogram) for interpolation formulas using spatiotemporal sample and auxiliary model variables (topography)
- Use of auxiliary co-variables, background information (e.g.: dynamical model results, satellite, radar data) for spatial interpolation (data assimilation, reanalysis)
- Applications of different interpolation methods for the meteorological and climatological fields
- Climate monitoring products
- Gridded databases
