Software Package for Processing Climatological Data (Complex Solution)

• Created by Petr Stepanek

• Software package consists of these individual software:
  • AnClim - software for time series analysis, homogenization (FREEWARE)
  • ProClimDB - database software for processing whole climatological datasets
  • LoadData - application for loading data from central database (e.g. Oracle)

• More information about the software package
  • General description - tools for processing and homogenization of large climatological datasets.
  • Presentation of the software (pdf slides).
  • Brief technical description (highlights) of the software package (MS Word document).
