… ERA-Interim artificially increased the effective TSI by about 2 W m−2 relative to the specified
value (so that the effective TSI is ∼ 1372 W m−2 rather than 1370 W m−2). Dee et al. (2011) …

When analyzing pairs of time series, one often needs to know whether a correlation is statistically
significant. If the data are Gaussian distributed and not serially correlated, one can use …

The NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was completed for the 31-yr period
