1. Introduction. pp. 1. 2. Theoretical background. pp. 5. 3. Measurement of secular temperature change. pp. 11. 4. Homogeneity analysis of climatological benchmark and first-order station series. pp. 24. 5. Summary and concluding remarks. pp. 58. Appendix A. The area-mean index and derivation of its error variance. pp. 63. Appendix B. The tau index and derivation of its error variance. pp. 66. Appendix C. Criterion for editing discontinuous inhomogeneities from tau index. pp. 70. Appendix D. Selection of Climatological Benchmark stations, and operating procedure in homogeneity analysis of temperature series. pp. 72. Appendix E. Significance test based on the tau index for suspected inhomogeneity in a station series. pp. 77. References. pp. 79. Long series of observations at climatological stations, commonly used for estimating secular climatic change, are frequently unsuitable for such an application. The purpose of this paper is to describe and apply an optimum methodology for measuring secular changes of temperature, by use of existing monthly mean data at cooperative climatological stations, with particular reference to the eastern United States. |
