This page lists break detection methods used for the homogenisation of climate data. The correction methods are a separated category. Methods doing both detection and correction are in this list. The first list was based on the HOME bibliography maintained by Alba Gilabert. This bibliography also lists methods proposed in the mathematical literature and many application papers.

Reviewed

This list is currently just a mock-up to show how it would look like. Once we have review pages to link to, we could shorten the citation and give the full citation on the review pages.

To be assessed

Below we list the articles we still have to assess (or have to decide they are outside of the scope of this journal). I wonder whether it would not look better to keep this list internal. Is a list of unreviewed article a useful service? It will stay a long list of unreviewed articles for a long time.
