Office and the University of Reading led to a paper highlighting the importance of a causal approach to quantifying teleconnection pathways (Kretschmer et al., 2021). Lastly, a project looked at automatic clustering and classification of biomes from climate data (Sidoumou et al., 2022). BOX C Ocean

and polar orbiting depend on the temperature reading at the top of the cloud. This temperature is converted using mathematical algorithm to rainfall amount and cross referenced with the ground truth using station rainfall data. This rainfall estimate provides very important information for areas which

such as random errors in instrument readings, calibration errors or structural uncertainty (the latter implying that alternative methods of analysis may produce slightly different results). Legg, 2014b published uncertainty ranges for areal-averages of monthly mean temperature, rainfall and sunshine
