The 13th World Meteorological Congress urged efforts to further develop standardized methods for homogenization and quality control of climatological data. Furthermore, it suggested to undertake measures, using recently developed techniques, to test homogeneity of all long climatological time series, to homogenize them as far as possible and to make such high quality time series available for use by the climatological community. The principal aim of the seminars is to provide regular forum for these discussions. Highlights and Call for Papers Homogeneous and high quality time series are indispensable for the examination of climate change and climate variability. The central goal of this Seminar is to promote the discussion of homogenization and data quality control methods, with emphasis on their practical applications and theoretical aspects.
