Measurement artefacts and inhomogeneity detection: R scripts and data supplement by Lydia Gerharz, Ben Graeler, Edzer Pebesma is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
The scripts should be run in order of numbering, as they contain dependencies on pre-computed results. The script called ``run.R'' runs the full set of scripts in correct order. On a Windows computer, the scripts may need to b e modified to set the right working directory with the setwd() command. The external library VGAM needs to be installed for running the scripts; this can be done by
install.packages("VGAM")
It should be noted that the data sets are NOT validated Airbase data, and may very likely contain erroneous measurements, or measurement artifacts, as detecting such artefacts was the purpose of the study. For that reason, station names and codes have been removed. For more information, the reader is refered to the report. The tools for the outlier checks are, at the current stage, not recommended for use in routine quality control. The tests on discontinuities are even more premature.
