The Era of Decentralized Observation
The thermometer is an observation. The black box is an interpretation.
About Those Plummeting Fertility Rates
The idea that TFR is not an appropriate or the most appropriate statistic for population growth studies is intriguing. And has led to the question: are we using the right…
More Horror Pictures Emerge Showing Locations of Met Office “Extreme” Record Temperatures
…the “bottom line” is that the data have been changed to increase the warming trend. A number of attempts have been made to estimate the changes caused by numerous corruptions.…
Debunking the Myth of a Weakening AMOC: How Geomagnetic Field Changes Skewed the Data
the perceived weakening of the AMOC may be nothing more than an artifact of data misinterpretation.
Counting: Exactly What and Exactly How
If we want any number to be considered scientific, the rules for this specification [“describing or identifying something precisely”] become stronger and stronger – we should consider this requirement paramount.
TOO HOT TO HANDLE: NIWA’s misleading temperature records
“Claimed record after claimed record, there’s evidence that NIWA’s cherrypicked data is being used (and coloured in dark red for the most extreme bits) to bolster the narrative that extreme…
Climate Scientists More Generally, & Boris Kelly-Gerreyn More Specifically
It is the case that in climate science: black is white, and hot is cold and the Conservative side of politics seems, for the most part, to just go along…
The Verdict of Instrumental Methods
We’re faced once again with the enormity of contemplating a science that has collapsed into a partisan narrative; partisans hostile to ethical practice.
Jennifer Marohasy on TNTRADIO.LIVE: Mercury Thermometers Versus Probes in Automatic Weather Stations
I will be talking about these issues this afternoon on TNT radio with the legendary Chris Smith.
Uncertainty Estimates for Routine Temperature Data Sets Part Two.
In short, what is the proper magnitude of the uncertainty associated with such routine daily temperature measurements?
Systemic Error in Global Temperature Measurement
The result is a reduction of the temperature change between the decades 1880-1890 and 2010-2020 from 1.43°C to 0.83°C CI(95%) [0.46°C; 1.19°C].
BOM Buries Record Daily Rainfall During Lismore Floods
Curiously this 24-hour rainfall total, what should be recognised as a new 24-hour rainfall record for Lismore of 467 mm, has not been entered into any of the official reports or into…
Uncertainty Estimates for Routine Temperature Data Sets
Modern climate research commonly fails adequate recognition of three guiding principles about uncertainty.
UN: “The World is Going to End” – Kink Analysis Says Otherwise
This technique will identify a curved line (such as a logarithmic curve) as having a kink. Also, at this point I have no statistical method by which to place a…
Monitoring Arctic Permafrost with Satellites, Supercomputers, and Deep Learning
“The ice wedges form from the freezing and melting of soil in the tundra,” said Liljedahl. “Some of them are tens of thousands of years old.”
Claim: Air Bubbles Sound Climate Change’s Impact on Glaciers #ASA181
“Recording the underwater sounds from a melting terminus will open the door to long-term acoustical monitoring of ice loss, and how it is linked to water temperature,” said Deane. “The…
Claim: Climate Change is Making One of the World’s Strongest Currents Flow Faster
Study co-authors said it is also likely that the speed of the current will increase even more as the Southern Ocean continues to take up heat from human-induced global warming.
The U.S. Could Have Wildfire Smoke Radar
Imagine the ability to determine the three-dimensional distribution of wildfire smoke across the United States in real-time.
An Unmanned Saildrone Takes Weather Observations in the Center of a Hurricane
On Thursday, September 30, an autonomous (unmanned) sailboat, called a Saildrone, made it into the center of Hurricane Sam, a category four tropical cyclone, measuring extraordinary winds and seas.
