2 Climatological studies Measuring and collecting data
3 Climatological studies Measuring data Data quality control and 0.8 Homogenization
4 Climatological studies Measuring data Homogenization Data Analysis
5 Processing before any data analysis Software AnClim, ProClimDB
6 Data Quality Control Finding Outliers Two main approaches: Using limits derived from interquartile ranges (time series) -2.0 comparing values to values of -4.0 neighbouring stations (spatial analysis) Quality control Homogenization Data Analysis
7 Homogenization Change of measuring conditions inhomogeneities
8 Inhomogeneity Detection Absolute Homogeneity Testing 3,0 2,0 Praha - Klementinum 1,0 0,0-1,0-2,0-3,0-4,
9 Inhomogeneity Detection Absolute Homogeneity Testing Relative Homogeneity Testing (differences with reference series) 1,5 1,0 0,5 0,0-0,5-1,0-1,5-2,0 Diference Praha - Klementinum a průměrovaná řada okolí ČR
10 Relative Homogeneity Testing Creating reference Series
11 Relative Homogeneity Testing Creating reference Series Tests of homogeneity
12 Relative Homogeneity Testing Creating reference Series Tests of homogeneity Assessing homogeneity - Metadata - Physically justified - undoubted inhomogeneity
13 Relative Homogeneity Testing Creating reference Series Tests of homogeneity Assessing homogeneity - Metadata - Physically justified - undoubted inhomogeneity Adjusting Series
14 Inhomogeneity Detecting by SNHT (p=0.05, 950 series) Inhomogeneities detected/ % Error /years > Amount of change in level / C
15 Assessing Homogeneity Problems: most of metadata incomplete we depend upon statistical tests results
16 Assessing Homogeneity Problems: most of metadata incomplete we depend upon statistical tests results uncertainty in test results - right inhomogeneity detection is problematic (for smaller amount of change)
17 Proposed solution To get as many test results for each candidate series as possible Ensemble approach - processing of big amount of test results for each individual series
18 Adventages of the Ensemble approach we know relevance (probability) of each inhomogeneity we can easily assess quality of measurements for series as a whole
19 How to increase number of test results Monthly, Seasonal and How to increase Data Processing number of test Annual results Averages Quality Control - Outliers Interquartile Range Comparing to Neighbours Combining Near Stations Homogeneity Testing Alexandersson test Bivariate Test t-test Mann-Whitney-Pettit from Correlations Reference Series from Distances Several Iterations Hom. Assessment Probability Adjusting Data Filling Miss. Values Days, Months, seasons, year
20 Creating Reference Series for monthly, daily data (each month individually) weighted/unweighted mean from neighbouring stations criterions used for stations selection (or combination of it): best correlated / nearest neighbours (correlations from the first differenced series) limit correlation, limit distance limit difference in altitudes neighbouring stations series should be standardized to test series AVG and / or STD (temperature - elevation, precipitation - variance) - missing data are not so big problem then

22 Relative homogeneity testing Available statistical tests: Alexandersson SNHT Bivariate test of Maronna and Yohai Mann Whitney Pettit test t-test Easterling and Peterson test Vincent method 20 year parts of the daily series (40 for monthly series with 10 years overlap), in SNHT splitting into subperiods in position of detected significant changepoint (30-40 years per one inhomogeneity)
23 Homogeneity Tests Alexandersson s SNHT Alexandersson Standart Normal Homogeneity Test (Single shift test) Reference series: k q i = Y /{[ ρ X Y / X j ]/ ρ } i j= 1 k 2 j ji k j= 1 2 j q i = Yi { ρ j [ X ji X j + Y ]/ ρ j } j= 1 2 k j= Null and alternative hypothesis: H 0 : z i N(0,1), i {1,..,n}. H 1 : z i N(μ 1,1), i {1,..,a}, z i N(μ 2,1), i {a+1,..,n}, for 1? a < n a μ 1? μ 2. z i = (q i - q )/s q, z i N(0,1) Test statistic: 2 2 T 0 = max {Ta} 1 a< n 1 = max { az1 + ( n a) z 2} 1 a< n 1 where z a 1 1 = z i, ( z 1? μ a 1), Quality control í = 1 n z 1 Homogenization 2 = z i, ( z 2? μ ( n a) 2). í = a+ 1 Data Analysis
24 Homogeneity Tests Bivariate Test of Maronna and Yohai Bivariate Test Null and alternative hypothesis: H 0 : vectors {x i,y i } bivariate normal distributed N(μ x, μ y, σ 2 x, σ 2 y, ρ) H 1 : pro 0<i 0 <n a d? 0 - N(μ x, μ y, σ 2 x, σ 2 y, ρ) pro i? i 0 N(μ x, μ y+d, σ 2 x, σ 2 y, ρ) pro i > i 0. Test statistic: T 0 = max{t } i<n i i where: X i = 1 / i x j, Y i = 1 / i y j, X = X n, Y = Yn n j= 1 i j= S x = ( x j X ), S y = ( y j Y), S xy = ( x j X )( y j Y), j = 1 n j= 1 2 F i = S x ( X i X ) ni /( n i), i<n, D i = S x ( Y Yi ) S xy( X X i ) n /[( n i) Fi ], 2 i 2 xy T i =[ i( n i) D F ]/( S S S ) i x y n j= 1
25 Homogeneity Tests Two-phase linear regression (Vincent Technique, Easterling and Peterson test) Easterling and Peterson Test statistic: U = [(RSS 1 -RSS 2 )/3]/[RSS 2 /(n-4)]? F(3,n-4) t-test: differences of levels before and after a discontinuity
26 Homogeneity assessment Various outputs created for better inhomogeneities assessment Combining results with information from metadata whenever possible Decision about undoubted inhomogeneities (without metadata) coincidence of test results

30 Adjusting monthly data using reference series based on correlations adjustment: from differences/ratios 20 years before and after a change, monhtly smoothing monthly adjustments (low-pass filter for adjacent values) I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII
31 Example: Adjusting values - evaluation
32 Iterative homogeneity testing several iteration of testing and results evaluation several iterations of homogeneity testing and series adjusting (3 iterations should be sufficient) question of homogeneity of reference series is thus solved: possible inhomogeneities should be eliminated by using averages of several neighbouring stations if this is not true: in next iteration neighbours should be already homogenized
33 Filling missing values Before homogenization: influence on right inhomogeneity detection After homogenization: more precise - data are not influenced by possible shifts in the series Dependence of tested series on reference series

54 Inhomogeneities in summer versus in winter, Air temperature Change of measuring conditions at the station (relocation etc.) is manifested in the series mainly in summer in winter: active surface role is diminished, prevailng circulation factors, in summer: active surface role increases, prevailing radiation factors
55 Inhomogeneities in summer versus in winter, Precipitation Change of measuring conditions at the station (relocation etc.) is manifested in the series mainly in winter in winter: errors of measurement (solid precipitation -wind, )
56 Homogenization Final remarksr emarks, recommendations 1/2 data quality control before homogenization is of very importance (if it is not part of it) Using series of observation hours (complementarily to daily AVG) is highly recommended (different manifestation of breaks) be aware of annual cycle of inhomogeneities, adjustments, to know behavior of spatial correlations (of element being processed) to be able to create reference series of sufficient quality
57 Homogenization Final remarksr emarks, recommendations 2/2 Because of Noise in the time series it makes sense: - Ensemble approach to homogenization (combining information from different statistical tests, time frames, overlapping periods, reference series, meteorological elements, ) - more information for inhomogeneities assessment higher quality of homogenization in case metadata are incomplete
