John A writes: I thought this would be interesting to note in passing. The IPCC has “Guidance Notes for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report on Addressing Uncertainties“.
We’ve had a couple of discussions of dealing with end-points for smoothing. Here’s a little note about smoothing algorithms, which I think is pretty funny. It’s hard to imagine a note about smoothing algorithms being funny, but see what you think.
Anthony Watts has three new sites: Lovelock, Electra and Fallon, and there’s something unexpected in them (Aside from the jet fighter discharging on the weather station – which is disappointing but almost expected by now.)
Anthony Watts has a couple more stations in hand (Electra and Fallon) about which I’ll comment later today. The detailed examination of USHCN stations fits into the prior debate initiated by the Davey and Pielke 2005 survey of sites in eastern Colorado. The original Davey and Pielke article was accompanied by an official response from […]
In order to build a new dedicated server for CA, I need access to a Windows share or a Samba equivalent on the Internet for 24 hours. If anyone has such a facility with space for a 4.3 GB DVD image, then could they contact me?
IPCC has just written me saying that they will send me review comments on chapter 6 subject to the following restriction: As this additional form of distribution is being provided in conjunction with the review process, the compiled comments are not for re-distribution to others. Given that the review comments are supposedly in an “open […]
A CA reader has brought to our attention an interesting new article by Pielke Sr et al, Unresolved Issues with the Assessment of Multi-Decadal Global Land-Surface Temperature Trends, which disucsses microsite problems. There is a lengthy roster of co-authors: Roger A. Pielke Sr., Christopher A. Davey, Dev Niyogi, Souleymane Fall, and Jesse Steinweg-Woods, Ken Hubbard […]
I observed the other day that Eli Rabett had done a bait-and-switch, in which Eli showed a picture of a well-located new station at Niwot Ridge (started only in 2003) as a supposed refutation of criticisms of incinerators, barbecues and tennis courts at USHCN stations. In response, Eli observed his right to “carrot pick”. Rosanne […]
Karl and Hansen have condemned poor USHCN metadata and, perhaps anticipating the need for something like surfacestations.org, gave a stunning endorsement to dramatically improving the collection and dissemination of photographs and other detailed site information for U.S. weather stations. In a statement, they said: Are we making the measurements, collecting the data, and making it […]
Eli Rabett, a pseudonymous professor and blogger, fresh from simply inventing tittle-tattle about me (his fabricated story that my downloading of GISS data had “resulted in denial of service to everyone else”), has continued his descent with a bait-and-switch illustration of the supposed “Boulder station” in an effort to discredit the collection of microsite data […]
