[...] the ASOS temperature sensor itself, which has been shown to be inaccurate. There’s the famous HO83 temperature-dewpoint sensor, a product of “lowest bidder” [...]

[...] I cannot find any information that this sensor has been removed in the NCDC History File. You can find the details on HO-83 bias at Climate Audit and Watts Up With That. [...]

“the dew point temperature is calculated and processed through the ASOS algorithms. ”

Algorithms? -ithms? Plural?

Do we get to know what these -ithms are? Do we even get to know how many? (Or are they protected under some sort of Troublemaker Injunction that seems to cover a good chunk of due diligence regarding climate records?)

Thank you Anthony, for your continued diligence in ferreting out the weak links. The old addage “garbage in garbage out” can never be recited too many times. The most complete data sets, and the most sophisticated climate models are of little practical use when the confidence of their most basic building blocks is wanting. Although it is probably not necessary to dismantle the entire climate modeling structure, it seems only prudent to be sure that the climate modeling Taj Mahal is not being founded in quicksand. I believe that the work you have been doing in examining the details of that foundation is helping to shine a much needed light on the veracity of the “consensus.”
