✦ Synopsis

The development of homogeneous climatological time series is a crucial step in examining climate fluctuations and change. We review and test methods that have been proposed previously for detecting inhomogeneities, and introduce a new method we have developed. This method is based on a combination of regression analysis and non-parametric statistics. After evaluation against other techniques, using both simulated and observed data, our technique appears to have the best overall performance.

## Abstract The time series of measurements of hydro‐meteorological variables often suffer from imperfections such as missing data, outliers and discontinuities in the mean values. The discontinuity in the mean can be the effect of: instrumental offsets and of their corrections, of changes in the m

This paper proposes a new method based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT), named as the DCTbased method, to detect oscillations for a single time series. The main idea is to isolate different frequency components of the time series via the DCT, and to detect oscillations by checking the regulari
