Climate Observations: Data Quality Control and Time Series Homogenization pulls together the different phases of the production of high-quality climatic datasets, allowing interested readers to obtain a coherent picture on the complexity and importance of this task. There are several new methods of time series homogenization, each very complex and fast developing. The thematic discussion of the production of high quality climatic datasets provides the opportunity to reduce errors, including the careful installation of meteorological instruments, the application of strict observing rules and inspections, and the use of sophistically developed statistical software to detect and remove errors or biases.
This book is intended for professionals working on climate data management at the national meteorological services, for the users of observed climatic data, and for students and researchers studying atmospheric and climate science.

- Presents a wide variety of old and modern meteorological instruments, and the efforts to produce and save spatially and temporally fairly comparable observed climatic data
- Describes the research tasks and tools for which the reliability and accuracy of climatic data are particularly important
- Includes case studies to provide real-world context to the research presented
- Features benchmark datasets, which have been used for testing the stable operation and efficiency of homogenization methods
- Explains the use of semiautomatic quality control software, recently developed effective homogenization methods, their testing, and the related new concepts and statistical tools

László Nyitrai is a certified meteorologist, he graduated from meteorology at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest in 1985. He has worked for Hungarian Meteorological Service in the field of meteorological measurements, data archiving and climate tables. In addition, he dealt with the aspects of ionospheric physics affecting radio wave propagation, he collected records of ionospheric conditions for shortwave radio signal transport, and corresponded internationally in this topic.
He investigated the global trends, completeness and deficiencies of meteorological tropospheric and stratospheric upper air measurements and their presumed economic background in relation to the WMO member countries. He made attempts to calculate atmospheric moisture transport from radiosonde observations, and presented his studies in international conferences
