25. in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D)
In summary, we develop:
in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D)
satellite CDRs (CM-SAF)
regional reanalysis of past weather (new!)
Data rescue and reprocessing form integral parts of the project
Reference historical databases

26. in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D) long-term records but sparse
In summary, we develop:
in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D) long-term records but sparse
satellite CDRs (CM-SAF) spatially extensive but short
regional reanalysis of past weather (new!) complete but expensive and some bias
