63-953 Climate and Satellite Data Analysis
MS Integrated Climate System Sciences
Date: 3.2.2014-7.2.2014
Place: Geom 1536c
Course objectives
The participants will learn to practically work with climate model, reanalysis, in-situ station and satellite data. Organized as a group project, the participants will further learn the principles of project management and shared software development.

Topics for group work
Coverage bias in the HadCRUT4 temperature series and its impact on recent temperature trends
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.
