GHCN's Dodgy Adjustments In Iceland
Guest post by Paul Homewood Take a look at the two graphs above. They are both mean temperature plots for Stykkisholmur, a small town in the west of Iceland. Now…
The heat is on: the UK SurfaceStations effort
They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, so color me flattered. I’ve been remiss in writing about this effort by Roger Tattersall (aka Tallbloke) and his colleague Tim…
A new paper showing how UHI and energy consumption are linked to long-term temperature change in China
Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. highlighted this major new paper in JGR yesterday, I consider it important as it relates to the works I’m doing on station siting. The key points…
New paper blames about half of global warming on weather station data homogenization
From the told ya so department, comes this recently presented paper at the European Geosciences Union meeting. Authors Steirou and Koutsoyiannis, after taking homogenization errors into account find global warming…
Important New Paper on the Nocturnal Boundary Layer, Mixing, and Radiative Forcing as it applies to GHCN weather stations
From Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. comes word of an important new paper that shows how the air near the ground (boundary layer) is highly affected by sensitive nighttime dynamics, which…
Comparing GHCN V1 and V3

Phil Jones gives a talk at KNMI in De Bilt – meanwhile temperature and paleo researchers are still blowing off data requests
From Marcel Crok at De staat van het klimaat: Phil Jones: ‘Contact NMS’s for raw data’ Over at Climate Audit there is renewed interest in data availability with McIntyre asking…
RDU's paint by numbers temperature and climate monitoring
After reviewing over 1000 USHCN stations in the United States as part of my surfacestations.org project, I have often thought that I can’t find anymore surprises in the train wreck…
An update on my Climate Reference Network visualization project
Readers may recall that when Peter Gleick first sent out the stolen Heartland board documents and the fake document to give the story “legs”, there was a mention in there…
Abrupt changes in GHCN station-level temperature records contradict the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) claims.
Guest post by Jens Raunsø Jensen Preamble Inspired by a statement by Dr. Kevin Trenberth in the e-mails referred to as Climategate 2.0 (#3946 discussed here), it is hoped that…
The Impact of Urbanization on Land Temperature Trends
by Zeke Hausfather , Steven Mosher, Matthew Menne , Claude Williams , and Nick Stokes [Note: this is an AGU poster displayed at the annual meeting, available here as a…
Houston, we have a temperature problem
Eric Berger writes (excerpt below) at the Houston Chronicle “SciGuy” blog about the wicked hot record breaking temperatures people were getting in Houston on their iPhones. Turns out the whole…
How not to measure temperature in the GHCN, part 1
Yes, it’s back. Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. and I have started looking at the GHCN to document the siting quality of surface stations that measure climate in the Global Historical…
Pielke Sr. on the quality of global surface stations
Quality Of Global Climate Surface Observing Sites By Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. Anthony Watts, Evan Jones and the numerous outstanding volunteers have provided us with an effective, land breaking documentati0n of…
Analysing the complete hadCRUT yields some surprising results
From The Reference Frame, 30 July 2011 via the GWPF HadCRUT3: 30% Of Stations Recorded A Cooling Trend In Their Whole History The warming recorded by the HadCRUT3 data is…
Little Ice Age thermometers – History and Reliability
This is an excerpt of a larger document by Tony Brown (Tony B on WUWT and other blogs) that he will be happy to make available. He writes: Some months…

GHCN V3 temperature data errors spotted within a day of release
From the Inconvenient Sceptic, word that the new Global Historical Climatological Network (GHCN) Version 3 may not have significant quality control. He writes: I have been looking at tweaking the…
"Gross" Data Errors in GHCN V2. for Australia
UPDATE: 11/11/10 An errata has been posted, see the end of this essay – Anthony Guest post by Ed Thurstan of Sydney, Australia Synopsis This study shows that the NOAA…
Metadata fail: 230 GHCN land stations actually in the water
Why is this important? Well if you are calculating UHI for stations by looking at satellite images of nightlights, like GISS does (see my post on it at CA) ,…
