Physics Laboratory of Climatology and Atmospheric Physics

The course aims at introducing students, by means of a monographic experience, to the most common issues that it is necessary considering for the analysis of long series of meteorological data.

At the end of the course, students must be able to perform an analysis of long series of meteorological data. Specifically they must be able to face the following issues:
· Data organization;
· Quality checks;
· Homogeneity checks and data homogenization;
· Time series analysis, with particular focus on spatial and temporal trends;
· Analysis of the physical mechanism that may have determined the observed trends.
