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…

NOAA's 'Janus moment' – while claiming 'The American public can be confident in NOAA’s long-standing surface temperature record', they fund an experiment to investigate the effects of station siting and heat sinks/sources on temperature data
NOAA’s impersonation of the two faced god Janus just proved my point about station siting issues with their actions that speak louder than words. While there’s all this caterwauling about…
Errors in Estimating Mean Temperature – Part II
Guest post by Lance Wallace Last week (Aug 30), Anthony Watts posted my analysis of the errors in estimating true mean temperatures due to the use of the (Tmin+Tmax)/2 approach…
Errors in Estimating Temperatures Using the Average of Tmax and Tmin—Analysis of the USCRN Temperature Stations
Guest post by Lance Wallace Abstract The traditional estimate of temperature at measuring stations has been to average the highest (Tmax) and lowest (Tmin) daily measurements. This leads to error…
July was also the 329th consecutive month of positive upwards adjustment to the U.S. temperature record by NOAA/NCDC
I’ve noticed there’s a lot of frenetic tweeting and re-tweeting of this “sound bite” sized statement from this Climate Central piece by Andrew Freedman. July was the fourth-warmest such month…
How not to measure temperature, part 93: the hottest weather station in the UK cited by the BBC has some interesting exposure
Over at Tallbloke’s Talkshop, moderator Tim Channon wondered about this regularly hot station reported in the news: An often appearing name in the BBC news as the hottest place in…
Never before published paper on UHI and siting – Goodridge 1987
Plus answers to yesterday’s Fun puzzle: Name these official stations. Given that California Governor Jerry Brown has recently setup a website at the governor’s office basically telling skeptics to “shut…
Fun puzzle: Name these official stations
Here’s a fun little puzzle for you, two older station siting photographs from former California State Climatologist, Jim Goodridge, circa the 1980’s. I had Jim find these because I was…
An 'inconvenient result' – July 2012 not a record breaker according to data from the new NOAA/NCDC U.S. Climate Reference Network
I decided to do myself something that so far NOAA has refused to do: give a CONUS average temperature for the United States from the new ‘state of the art’…
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…
Kiwi weather station data shenanigins going to court
Climate change readings ‘inaccurate’ TREVOR QUINN A climate change group has taken the National Institute for Atmospheric and Water Research (NIWA) to court over what they say are inaccurate temperature…
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…
Why the U.S East Coast heatwave was not unusual nor the number of record temperatures unprecedented.
This is a combination of two posts elsewhere that illustrate just how much hype and how little substance the MSM and blogs like Grist, Climate Progress. and Capital Weather Gang…
An interesting graph showing solar cycle, El Niño, and surface temperature correlation in Australia
Ian H. Bryce writes at Jo Nova’s website: The thing that intrigued me about the maximum temperatures is the high peaks, which occur at the peak of the odd solar…
Some stuff I've been up to…Cellular Weather Station
As many people know, weather stations are my specialty. I’ve been busy with inventing a number of things as of late, trying to stay competitive. So thought I’d drop this…
Comparing GHCN V1 and V3
Much Ado About Very Little Guest post by Zeke Hausfather and Steve Mosher E.M. Smith has claimed (see full post here: Summary Report on v1 vs v3 GHCN ) to…
Chiefio Smith examines GHCN and finds it “not fit for purpose”
E.M. Smith over at the blog Musings from the Chiefio earlier this month posted an analysis comparing versions 1 and 3 of the GHCN (Global Historical Climate Network) data set.…
Auditing the adjusting of ACORN temperature down under
Joanne Nova and Ken Stewart have uncovered some startling findings about the way Australia’s BOM “High Quality” network data is adjusted. Think USHCN here in America. This is well worth…
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…
Facepalm! Gore's "dirty energy = dirty weather" claims about the US are laughable in the context of other countries
Al Gore, is his usual incompetent persona, is bloviating weapons grade nonsense again. A few prior examples: On TV, Earth’s core is millions of degrees, in AIT, snows of Mt.…
