VIRTUAL | Measuring Climate Change
LOCATION
This was an event held jointly with the Meteorological Observations systems special interest group.
This meeting reviewed how climate is measured and how data is processed for climate modelling and to provide long datasets identifying long term changes.
Speakers covered the measurement of several key essential climate variables. They covered important issues such as how effects of changes in station exposure and changes in instrument types are assessed and accounted for. Speakers also covered issues of how modern and historical proxy data sets are combined to create long time series.
The meeting was intended for a general audience.
