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 1) independent in-situ observations and 2) reanalysis data

Their methods and data are freely available:

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.

Schedule

Monday

General Introduction

Group work: develop a project plan and write a short technical proposal for your project.

Final report due by 15. March 2014

Obtain data and do preliminary analysis (e.g. data coverage).

Tuesday

Morning: Group presentations of project plan and preliminary analysis. Afternoon: implementation and project work

Wednesday

Morning: Group presentations of methods and code implementations Afternoon: Project work

Thursday

Morning: Group presentations of preliminary results Afternoon: Project work

Friday

Morning: final presenation of results and discussion Afternoon: evaluation and preparation of final report
