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.
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.)
- Are the trends significant?
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 the trends significant?
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?
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?
