Back from Arizona and Colorado, where I visited family and friends in Phoenix and Colorado Springs. I didn’t spend much time on the internet. I had an opportunity to read Anthony’s interesting new posts on more stations. Each new station seems to yield an interesting story. It is disquieting that the USHCN site with the […]
Warren Meyers, who got the pictures of Tucson’s asphalt climate station, went to another USHCN station today. He writes in his blog: “I then went to visit Wickenburg. Though it has been growing of late, Wickenburg would still be considered by most to be a small town. So perhaps the Wickenburg measurement is without bias?” […]

Warren Meyer, one of the first surfacestations.org volunteers, delivered Tucson today. You may remember from the “Red and Blue States” thread on CA that Tucson had the greatest positive temperature trend for any USHCN station after TOBS adjustment. I’ve been trying to find the words to describe this station, but the pictures really do a […]
I’ve been involved in meteorology in one way or another since 1976, and while I knew of the vast number of COOP stations around the USA, I never knew that a good number of them are at sewage treatment plants until I started my surfacestations.org project. It seems to me, that given the physical makeup […]
I upgraded the WordPress software to the latest and greatest yesterday, and it appears to have broken the theme (Tiga) which we were using. So while I fix the problem, CA may look peculiar as I might have to change themes temporarily. Your comments will still get through, so keep typing. Update: I think I’ve […]
The picture below is of the USHCN climate station of record for Newport Beach, CA When I first visited this site I did a double take. Then started searching for the “real” temperature sensor. I couldn’t believe that NOAA allowed them to use consumer grade equipment. I was sure I just hadn’t located the MMTS […]
This picture below comes to me via surfacestations.org volunteer Kristen Byrnes, a 15 year old budding scientist that has created a bit of a stir with her critique of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth. Her website,”Ponder the Maunder” also has more photos of weather stations. It is the USHCN Climate Station of Record for Lewiston, Maine, […]

Pictures have been coming in to http://www.surfacestations.org from many places. This one is from Fort Morgan, Colorado’s USHCN climate station of record. Fort Morgan is in the eastern plains of Colorado, about 100 miles northeast of Denver. The sensor recording the wide open plains has four air conditioners near it!
