I’m pleased to announce that after a quality control review of all stations surveyed so far we are now at the 80.4% mark. 982 stations out of 1221 of the USHCN network have been surveyed. 239 stations remain to be surveyed.
A Google Earth KML file has also been created to help volunteers assist us in surveying these remaining stations to the best of our ability. I don’t expect to get all of them, but we should be able to easily exceed the 1000 station mark and perhaps reach 90% before the end of summer.
You can download the Google Earth KML file which was used to make the map above, get it -click here. [Note, if using Internet Explorer, right mouse click and choose “Save Target As..” ~ charles the moderator] It is very helpful in locating stations. Google Earth is a free download here.
For those who don’t have Google Earth capability, get it – click here, is the list of stations remaining that you can view in your browser. Both files are useful in different ways, so I suggest getting both.
Our goal is to find the few remaining “best” CRN1 and CRN2 stations. So far there have been very few of these “best” stations, 92 so far, making up only 10% of the network. The majority of those also happen to be ASOS stations at airports, and as we have seen from the MIC in Hawaii’s WSFO, ASOS stations have not been deemed suitable for climate monitoring, since they are placed for aviation purposes.
Here are the percentage breakdowns so far, plus a nice bar chart by Gary Boden showing the states that have been completed and those that need the most attention:
| Number | Percent | |
| CRN=1 | 16 | 2% |
| CRN=2 | 76 | 8% |
| CRN=3 | 205 | 21% |
| CRN=4 | 598 | 61% |
| CRN=5 | 78 | 8% |
We have identified 45 closed stations, some of which have been able to be rated because the observer remained and could show us where the thermometer was placed, or we were able to find aerial photos or maps from NWS b44 forms that showed the location.
Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia are the states with the least coverage. If you live in one of these, please consider trying to survey a station or two. Details on how to survey stations can be found at surfacestations.org
Quality control checks performed:
Volunteers and I have been busy in the past couple of weeks adding some stations from recent surveys as well as doing a comprehensive QC on the applications of ratings and the veracity of the station surveys.
Some stations that were surveyed were misidentified by volunteers, and thus have been removed and put back on the “available” list in the KML file above.
Some stations surveyed by aerial views only were misidentified, and this was made clear when when we went through QC reviews. We fixed those also, some were then correctly identified and rated, others went back on the “available” list.
I’m pretty happy about where we are now and what has been achieved. Finding the remaining best stations is the next goal. I’ll have more on that soon with some good candidates.
There will be another important post tomorrow or the next day on a related subject that needs addressing, stay tuned.

Apparently the goal of Greenpeace is to “beat climate change”. The person quoted is allegedly a scientist? And they call realists deluded?
Isn’t boarding and taking over a ship an act of piracy?
Anthony, I had trouble with all these links: Above, the kml file “here” link produces a page of html code, the surveyed already map on surfacestations. org produces a WordPress “Not Found” and the Google Earth “Download here” link goes to a page “security violation”.
REPLY: Try right click and “save target as”
“Isn’t boarding and taking over a ship an act of piracy?”
Um…yes, but you don’t get punished for it. Hansen jets over from the US, gives evidence that the ship was going to kill lots of tiny fluffy kittens, and with one bound you are free, while the evil ship owners and power station workers twirl their moustaches impotently in the background….
Anthony, That worked for the link above, but not for the two mentions on surfacestations site. Thanks. I’m interested in the AZ stations.
REPLY: The links are correct, whatever problem is local to your machine – Anthony
i would be interested to see a google earth link (if it exists). of all the surface stations the ones found to date. i am interested in seeing where they are..
any chance of putting the link on a side bar.. if it is there i apologise.. but cant find it
correction it is on the surface stations site.. i apologise, but a current link would be useful..
I got snipped for getting angry about the UK Met Office and our Chief Scientific Officer. Fair enough, ranting does not enhance this superb site, however I have self snipped my feelings about Greenpeace protestors and
Kings Norton power station……..
[snip]
This might seem a daft question, but has anybody tried contacting the people who run these stations to see if they would take and submit photos themselves?
[REPLY – Not at all. In fact, we have obtained a number of them that way. ~ Evan]
More O/T? Record low high temps for Arizona?
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/06/19/20090619junelovely0619.html
I take it these records are being set using flawed stations. Might the low temps be even lower than stated in this article? I cant help but sense the “The Cat is out of the bag” aspect of this story.
Anthony,
I will see if I can find one of the remaining NJ sites. No guarantees since I don’t live near the sites, but I’ll look into it and get back to you.
What e-mail address should we use to send you pictures if I get anything ?
Don
Clicking on this link gives a security violation. I reported it to you months ago.
The .xls file disappeared some time ago also.

Sincere thanks to Gary Boden and Barry Wise for this contribution!
REPLY: There’s a reason. I haven’t edited the main page yet with current updates, probably tonight. – Anthony
I will be going through Pennington Gap, VA on July 9/10. How can I get more info on where the site is located?
Anthony,
I will get Goldsboro NC next week on my way to the beach.
By the way, you listed Rocky Mount, VA as a remaining site – it was surveyed a few months ago!
Several sites are listed in SC. If they are still un-surveyed by fall, I will do a swing thru SC and see how many I can get.
REPLY: Goldsboro is on the Air Force Base. Doubtful that you’ll get in without some previous arrangement. – Anthony
OT but urgent!

There is a what looks like a Stephenson’s Screen at the Mississquoi National Wildlife Refuge in Swanton, VT, but I don’t see it on any list. Do they just disappear off the records? I drive by it a couple times a week and would be happy to survey it if I thought it would accomplish anything.
Since I’ll be in Tennessee at some point this summer…maybe I’ll stop by a few of those stations!
Anthony, How do you want to account for stations that are no longer active? Kingstree SC and Georgetown, SC would fall into that category.
REPLY: We’ll mark them in the database as such. No worries unless you think you can figure out enough info on previous placement to allow us to make a rating- Anthony
OT. Re: greanpeace boarding a ship, somewhere I read that greens were too yellow to admit they are red. I laughed, silly me.
what towns are the 3 in southeastern Idaho in? I’m going to be running in that area all summer and fall.
Georgetown, SC was closed several years ago. I managed to get into the nature preserve where it was located (appt only), but nobody could quite remember exactly where it was sited and it moved once or twice. I was able to photograph the general sites, but that isn’t much help which is why I never posted it. Clemson and USC have ongoing research in that area and got a tour by one of the professors – fascinating stuff but, alas, no definitive survey. I recommend crossing that one off. I’ll see what I can do for some of the remaining ones in the area as I have more time now.
“There will be another important post tomorrow or the next day on a related subject that needs addressing, stay tuned.”
Will it, by any chance, have to do with the “missing” stations? And would it be reasonable to assume that the “missing” stations are primarily in rural areas?
Do you plan an effort to try and track them down to add their data back into the climate data base?
Inquiring minds want to know. 8^)
I’ll take a look at where that one north of the Twin Cities in MN is. I should be able to get that for you.
And, maybe, the two near the SD/MN border.

I think you are referring to Malad City and Lifton Pumping station, apparently in a rural location east of Malad City. Probably also to Border, although that is technically in Wyoming. I’ve been contemplating those sites myself as the terminus of a whole string of unsurveyed stations from Kanab, Utah, northward. (Looks to me like a good excuse to see some new country during vacation time.) At any rate, no use getting in each other’s way. Let me know of your progress.

The Gavin Newsom piece is scary to say the least.
Looks like California is doomed to a fate worse than Global Climate Change/Warming. Government meddling will be the real catastrophe.
Przemysław Pawełczyk (05:32:57) :
Hopefully this tax on all consumption and job destroying piece of legislation will be burned in the senate,
This will force Rudd and Wong to go to the people on this issue alone. By then the opposition may be able to find a leader with some spine. Peter Costello is gone. 🙁
