Ever wonder how to adjust in Russia – or what sot of gestures Russian adjusters make when they’re jesting and not jetsetting? Here are Hansen’s urban adjustments for 4 different Russian “urban” sites. In the graphics shown, an upward adjustment in the past is an upward re-statement to increase past temperatures to compare with present […]
I’ve been rather looking forward to a post on Waldo in India. I’ve been to India 4 times, though not for many years. I’m probably the only climateaudit reader who’s swum across the Ganges and one of the few pictures of my 1968 that’s survived is me in the Ganges. Today Waldo has another potentially […]
I’ve noticed that even Hansen’s rounding seems to give a little edge to modern values relative to older values. It’s not a big effect, but Hansen doesn’t seem to like to leave any scraps on the table. Cara, Siberia has 3 versions – all of which appear to be the same station; all 3 versions […]
A CA reader, John Goetz, has written in with a mind-numbing puzzle related to Waldo in Bagdarin, Siberia, where Waldo appears to have experienced an adjustment unusual even by the standards of NASA chiropractors.
Anthony’s presentation at Roger Pielke Sr’s seminar at UCAR appears to have been well-received. He’s posted some interested online reports at his blog and been written up here and here. In response to the criticisms about the failure of sites to meet standards, Lawrimore of NOAA said that they already adjusted for these problems: For […]
We have a new article from the Mannian school, this time involving supposedly “independent” NAS panelist, Doug Nychka, and geologist Caspar Ammann, who is very enthusiastic about calculating covariances using Mannian proxies. The lead author is a statistician, Bo Li. The article purports to use MBH99 proxies and says we do not critically evaluate these […]
Waldo, Hansen’s ROW trend, is not in Africa nor in Antarctica. Is Waldo in South America?
If you’ve not read Where’s Waldo: Antarctica #1, please do so first.
As you know, we are eagerly awaiting the publication of the following article by Wahl and Ammann reported here: Wahl, E and C Ammann (In press). “Robustness of the Mann, Bradley, Hughes reconstruction of northern hemisphere surface temperatures: Examination of criticisms based on the nature and processing of proxy climate evidence.” Climatic Change (accepted). May […]
Waldo (the ROW warm trend) is not in Africa (or the United States). Is Waldo in Antarctica? (For those of you who haven’t bought toys in 30 years, Where’s Waldo is a game.) Antarctica is about 8.9% of the world’s land surface (about 1.5 times the contiguous 48). There are 116 Antarctica sites in the […]
