__Coarse Resolution Subregional Means__
CRSM-series are subregional mean series (CRSM = Coarse Resolution Subregional Means). They are arithmetic means of single station anomaly series for the five principal subregions in the Greater Alpine Region. The subregions have been detected via EOF-based regionalisation for each of the 5 leading climate parameters present in HISTALP (Auer et al., 2007, chapt. 5). Single parameter regionalisation produced highly similar subregions. Thus the decision was drawn to average them to one optimal version for all climate parameters (HISTALP map ).
