英文摘要 | Three homogenization methods (ACMANT, MASH and HOMOP) have been evaluated for their efficiency in homogenizing daily relative humidity data. A homogeneous surrogate data set based on Austrian stations was created and perturbed to simulate inhomogeneous, realistic time series (validation data sets). Two validation data sets (simple and complex) were created. In both data sets the magnitude of the breaks depends on the time of year and the measured values. They differ in the number of missing values and especially on whether the break signal was perturbed by white noise. In the latter case, the noise also changed to take into account changes in random measurements errors and other physical factors. The evaluation showed high agreement in statistical characteristics between the real data and the surrogate data set. The homogenization methods were compared in their ability both to detect breaks and to reproduce the homogeneous surrogate data set. For the evaluation of the final data set the distribution, trends and root-mean-square error (RMSE) were analysed. The percentage of improved time series depends on the evaluation parameter considered. Less stations were improved when using the complex validation data set. Because of the large number of breaks and the small signal-to-noise ratio, an improvement of the data by homogenization was non-ideal for all methods used, with each having its advantages and disadvantages. The quality of the ACMANT and HOMOP methods is comparable, with ACMANT solving less stations but declaring less stations falsely as homogeneous. To get an impression of the influence on real data, ACMANT was applied to homogenize daily Austrian time series of relative humidity. While the quality of data from some stations can be improved through the homogenization, this is not the case for all time series. A final evaluation of homogenized time series should be performed to ensure their quality before further use. |
