Topics for group work
The major topic of this course will deal with data gaps in climate and satellite records and their implications for the calculation of global statistics. The overall objectives of the course are:
- raise awareness on the problem with data gaps in climate records
- learn about methods for coping with data gaps
- assess the effect of data gaps on statistics of climate related datasets
- learn processing of data using a variety of methods
Another major objective of this course is to train the so called soft-skills in practice, like
- project management (planning ... final report)
- joint code development
- reporting
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.
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
- Review methods of Cowtan and Way (2013)
- Analyse their reconstructed dataset of surface air temperature (seasonal cycle, anomalies, trends etc.)
- Look at correlations with climate indices, e.g. ENSO, NAO, PDO
Variations in Surface Air Temperature Observations in the Arctic
- Review methods of Rigor et al. (2000)
- Analyse the surface air temperature measured by the drift buoys (seasonal cycle, anomalies, trends etc.)
- Are there significant trends over different period of times?
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
- Was the data gap in the Arctic filled in reasonably?
- Are there biases or jumps in the data?
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?
- What is the impact of different land/sea masks and spatial grids (resolution, projections) on total mean global fluxes?
