A Correction Model for Homogenisation of Long Instrumental Data Series

  • Chapter
Detecting and Modelling Regional Climate Change

Abstract

In this article, we propose a new model that allows the correction of non-homogeneous series without requiring the computation of the so called «regional reference series». The non-bias and minimum variance properties of the derived estimates are shown.
