HOMOGENEITY OF THE ECA TEMPERATURE DATA Janet Wijngaard Albert Klein Tank BUDAPEST, 25-29 SEPTEMBER
HomogeneityTests • Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT, Alexandersson) • Range test (Buishand) • Von Neumann ratio
Testing method • No reference stations used - stations are diverse • Annual DTR series tested - artificial changes opposite effect - natural changes same effect
CONCLUSIONS • Test results for the examples are satisfactory • Summarised results for SNHT, Range-test and Von Neumann Ratio overview of homogeneity • Meta data should be used to take full advantage of the ECA data set
Von Neumann Ratiofor Eelde Groningen • N= 0.55 period: 1910-1998 • N=1.85 period: 1958-1998
