See http://www.surfacestations.org which is my nationwide project to locate and document such stations.

There is a master list link on the front page that has info on station locations. There is also a browsable online database of photos acquired already.

Thanks.

There are a couple of other changes I want to make to the presentation and I will post a note here when the new version is up.

The whole shebang consists of 13,000 files and just generating and uploading them takes some time. I prefer generating the information offline and serving static content.

I have to admit. I still don’t fully understand these databases.

Why does the series for Copenhagen, DK end in 1991?

I know it would be some extra work, especially retro-adding it to the site pages already online, but if it was included as each site was uploaded it would make things much easier.

Thanks for the comments. My web site is basically read-only at this point.

If you would like to contact me, you can do it using the form at http://www.unur.com/sinan/contact.html

In any case, I am hoping that what I am doing can complement Steve and Anthony’s work in some way.

The graphs that are currently on my site are useful because they show, for each location, the maximal amount of data available. It is interesting to note that, while the U.S. is a small part of the global surface area, many of the longer, continuously updated temperature series come from the U.S.

I plan to go over my scripts and release them this week.

Do you have a comments section? I have some notions for other kinds of checks that SteveMc prolly does not have time for, but which could yeild a nugget or two

That is truly an impressive compilation of GHCN data on a station by station basis. I know it will be usefull in the work being done. Thank you for the hard work to make it available.

Joel Willemssen of the U.S. General Accounting Office doesn’t sugarcoat his answer. “All the government agencies will not be done on time. There will be some failures,” he says.
Jim Hansen has made Joel Willemsson into a modern day Nostradamus.

Steve does a good job disecting Hansens’s letter, but you really have to read it to believe it.

Regarding Hansen’s statement, “My apologies if the quick response that I sent to Andy Revkin and several other journalists, including the suggestion that it was a tempest inside somebody’s teapot dome…” seems to be a pretty clear shot at President Bush as the “Teapot Dome” scandal was on the verge of bringing down President Harding who ultimately died in office in the 1920s. Hansen has publicly ripped the head of NASA and Bush in the past. Doesn’t seem like a guy with any concerns about job security.

If nothing else, this entire episode should make it more difficult for GISS, NCDC, IPCC and the rest to continue with the “trust us” routine. Regardless of which side of the issue you are on, that is good for science.
