Kevin Cowtan and Robert Way fill the gaps of the HadCRUT temperature data set by using satellite data. Compare their new reconstruction of surface temperature data to independent in-situ observations and reanalysis data.

Cowtan and Way (2013) methods and data are freely available:

Surface temperatures are available from the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) website:

Cowtan and Way (CW2013) reconstruction

/ProjectA

  • Review methods of Cowtan and Way (2013)
  • Analyse their reconstructed dataset of surface air temperature (seasonal cycle, anomalies, trends etc.)
  • Are the trends significant?

Variations in Surface Air Temperature Observations in the Arctic

/ProjectB

Data intercomparison

Use the buoy measurements of surface air temperature as ground truth

  • Write code to interpolate the different datasets in a common grid
  • Compare CW2013, buoy and reanalysis data
  • How large is the correlation of the datasets?
  • Are there biases or jumps in the data?
  • Was the data gap in the Arctic filled reasonably?

/ProjectC

HOAPS ocean flux sampling bias

  • HOAPS climatology of ocean surface fluxes

  • HOAPS is sampled twice a day
  • What is the impact of undersampling the dirnal cycle on monthly means?
  • What is the impact of sea ice gaps on monthly means?
  • How do HOAPS surface flux estimates compare to literature values of global mean ocean surface fluxes?

/ProjectD
