Abstract

All studies concerning climate variability reveal the necessity of the homogeneity testing of data as the first step in further research. Inhornogeneities caused by station relocation,
installation of new instruments, etc. can be the cause of misleading conclusions that do not correspond to real changes. It is quite obvious that data must be tested in order to locate possible
inhomogeneities/discont in uities.
This paper describes the homogeneity testing of the mean monthly and annual air temperature in Croatia. Several 50-year temperature time series during the period from 1949 to 1998 were tested using the Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT). The exact cause of discontinuities was searched from the meta data.
