Quantifying Changes in Climate Variability and Extremes: Pitfalls and Their Overcoming

Hot temperature extremes have increased substantially in frequency and magnitude over past decades. A widely used approach to quantify this phenomenon is standardizing temperature data relative to the local mean and variability of a reference period. …

Statistical Properties of Random CO2 Flux Measurement Uncertainty Inferred from Model Residuals

Information about the uncertainties associated with eddy covariance measurements of surface-atmosphere CO2 exchange is needed for data assimilation and inverse analyses to estimate model parameters, validation of ecosystem models against flux data, …
