  • Applications of R-Instat to analyse and validate satellite based climate time series

    In this short course you will be introduced to R-Instat, its functionalities and how it can be used to compare satellite data with station data. R-Instat is a statistics software, which is very well designed to manage station data and compare and combine station data with satellite data.

    Participants will be given time to play with R-Instat, check out the functionalities to compare station data with satellite data. Participants are invited to join a feedback / Q&A session on Monday, 8 February 2021 at 12:00 - 13:00 UTC.


    Participants are invited to install R-Instat prior to the course. R-Instat is designed for windows operating systems, however it can also be installed on Ubuntu 18.04 through wine.

  • Analysing station and satellite data in R-Instat

    This section is not required to be done before the start of the short course. However, you may which to go through this before to get some practice.

    Once you have installed R-Instat you can start working with data. R-Instat is designed to analyse both station and satellite data, as well as having general features of a statistics package.

    In this short course we will focus on comparing station data with satellite data. However, in this section we also provide resources on the general use of R-Instat.

    Whatever you intend to use R-Instat for, we suggest starting with the two tutorials (below) to familiarise yourself with how R-Instat works and to get started working with data.
