God knows what it was like in 1900.

insofar as the individual stations are concerned, the siting was probably a lot better in 1900. So much of the CRN-4 violations occurred after 1980 (the MMTS switchover).

As for gridding, adjustment, etc., a la 1900, I couldn’t say. Today’s adjustments seem (mostly) highly questionable. Probably (IMO) the semi-raw data (only outliers removed and TOBS corrected) would be a better measure than the fully adjusted data.

I caught the interview on Glenn Beck and am glad you are out there shedding light on what is going to be a costly issue for energy consuming business if we don’t get it right. I manage a web site geared toward the trucking industry and am very interested in the topic of “so called” global warmning. Our industry is a large energy consumer and is a target for fines and taxes to offset the effects of climate change if the proponents of global warming have their way. My objective is to provide our user base with the facts when it comes to climate change. The economic impact that ultimately gets passed on to the consumer can be huge.

Keep up the good work

The good news is that you’ve pointed out serious issues with the way temperatures are being measured in the USA. The bad news is that the USA has the best temperature measurement network in the world.”

That is so true and sad. Even worse is that I believe that the US network was never as accurate as it is today. God knows what it was like in 1900.

It is a shame it did not run to completion, as I thought it was more informative than the other interviews.

Maybe with all this interest we can get the rest of the stations surveyed.

BTW, isn’t there any routine in the server software that will divert the incoming traffic when it gets too heavy? I hear about this all the time and it seems that it ought to be a standard in the o/s. Yeah, nothing is easy in IT, but really.

But I have found a couple that were poorly located, e.g. Dortmund airport. Hopefully I’ll be photographing it next week while visiting the in-laws there.
Like I said though, I just started looking into it. I’d say more effort has to be made inspecting foreign stations.

Keep up the good work!

Oh, the price of fame. I’m sure all the riches are coming along with it?!!?!? A heartfelt thanks though. Between you and Lubos at The Reference Frame, I learn more about the science than anywhere else. Unfortunately, my lack of stats accumen really detracts from my ability to learn over at CA. I’m working through some of the stuff at William Briggs site so I can do some catching up.
Thanks again and good work. Don’t know if you know Tim Ball, but if you run into him, he’s a super guy. Warning though. He’ll talk your ear off. An inherent The problem when somebody absolutely loves his topic of study.
Thanks again.
