Abstract: 
Homogenization methods are developed to reduce the impact of non-climatic factors on climate series. Martinex et al. (2009), (International Journal of Climatology, Doi 10.1002/joc.1884) applied a set of homogenization procedures to available Spanish temperature series. In this report, we address critical issues of that paper concerning a specific property of the standard normal homogeneity test and the application scheme of the homogenization tests. We conclude with some important recommendations on the application of homogenization methodologies. Copyright (C) 2010 Royal Meteorological Society
