Comments on: No Data For Some NASA Stations http://climateaudit.org/2008/03/04/no-data-for-some-nasa-stations/ by Steve McIntyre Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:24:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: BarryW http://climateaudit.org/2008/03/04/no-data-for-some-nasa-stations/#comment-139941 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:20:59 +0000 http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=2829#comment-139941 Re 57:

Goes back farther than that. The Shuttle design itself was a major manifestation of the problems and much of that started at the top (Fletcher for one).

The station (I think they refer to the official airport one) has been shut up several years ago, about 20; since then, we have a few amateur stations (but usually with WMO standards) and a rural station just out of the hurban area.

Could you include the R code to read the objects? I agree with pushing people to use R, and example code is worth everything.

All the best,

That part of Finland has a partly swedish-speaking population.

Unfortunately, both the giss.dset1.tab and the giss.dset2.tab datasets which you mentioned are in some unknown format which reads like Martian. Am I reading the wrong files, or what is the format, or what the !@#$%^& am I doing wrong?

Steve: Ill add in a readme on this.

re #49

I assume you mean the files with the tab extensions in the data\giss folder. Those are unreadable binary files and not text.

Steve: Those are R-objects and can be loaded directly into an R-session. I’m trying to discourage people using Excel or things like that for statistical analysis. If you simply want single site info, you can cut and paste from NASA.

Lund is incidentally the seat of the largest University in Scandinavia and they have climate data since 1780 on file.

Visit SMHI (government agency for climate observations etc) web site and discover that they have the data needed for Lund (but missing Kreuzburg :-) .

Not only that, but if you send them a nice email to klimatdata(at)smhi.se they will send the data to you.

Cheers from a Swede at large in France
