Working Group 2 (WG 2).
Comparison and evaluation of existing detection methods.
Tasks:
- Creation of software to test the different methods: adaptation of existing software, creation of new software if necessary, implementation of evaluation tools (statistical or graphical).
- Test runs over the benchmark-dataset: real series, simulated time series.
- Evaluation of test results: performance over real Series (comparison with metadata, spatial coherency), performance over simulated time series (in terms of level, power, robustness).
- Ranking of the detection methods: partial rankings (accounting for different Climate - Variables, network densities, etc), overall ranking.
- Redaction of practical recommendations for detection.
- Dissemination of the results: uploading to website, scientific paper in refereed journal.
