WHAT?
• behaviour of surface climate / weather elements– under a single type
versus – under other types or in all data
HOW?
• several different (complementary) approaches
• similar analyses also done in Augsburg by Christoph Beck & others
HOW?
• goodness-of-fit test: distribution under one type versus distribution under all other types / in all data– 2-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
• explained variance• ratio of std.dev.: within-type / overall long-
term• correlation of time series: real vs.
‘reconstructed’ (mean value of each type)
a) goodness-of-fit testing
• evaluates how well a classif. stratifies surface weather (climate) conditions
• 2-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
• equality of distributions of the climate element under one type against under all the other types

a) goodness-of-fit testing
• 73 classifications from the v1.2 release of COST733 database
• domains – 00 (whole Europe) – 07 (central Europe)
• winter (DJF) & summer (JJA)• Jan 1958 – Feb 1993• 97 European stations (ECA&D database)• surface climate variables
– maximum temperature– minimum temperature
a) goodness-of-fit testing
• at each station• types for which the K-S test rejects the
equality of distributions are counted• the larger the count, the better the
stratification• at each station: methods ranked by the %age
of well separated classes (= rejected K-S tests)
• for each classification: ranks averaged over stations area mean rank final rank of the classification

better in large domain
better in small domain
b) other criteria
• selection of classifications: 26– 8 class’s for ~9, ~18, ~27 types– Hess&Brezowsky: GWL (29 types), GWT (10 types)
• domain 07 (central Europe)• separate analysis for Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct• 1961-1998• 21 stations in the Czech Republic• 8 surface climate variables
– temperature min, max, mean– precipitation amount, occurrence– cloudiness, sunshine duration, relative humidity
b) other criteria
• criteria: – explained variance– normalized within-type std.dev.– correlation real vs. reconstructed series
• averaged over stations and variables

CONCLUSIONS
• most criteria highly sensitive to the number of types
• to alleviate this: – sort class’s by the approx. no. of types – rank in each group separately
• different criteria may yield different ranking of class. methods
• Hess&Brezowsky is most frequently counted as “best”
