The two Jeffs ( C and Id) have interesting progress reports on emulating Steig using unadorned Tapio Schneider code here. Check it out. One of the first questions that occurred to third party readers was whether RegEM somehow increased the proportional weight of Peninsula stations to continental stations as compared to prior studies. Jeff C […]
Andrew Sullivan, a well-known writer, has been blogging since 2001 and won the 2008 Best Blog award (displayed at his site.) In November, prior to this competition, he published an excellent essay on blogging in the Atlantic Monthly, one that I read at the time and meant discuss. Give it a read. While his lessons […]
Smerdon et al 2008 is an interesting article on RegEM, continuing a series of exchanges between Smerdon and the Mann group that has been going on for a couple of years. We haven’t spent much time here on RegEM as we might have. I did a short note in Nov 2007 here. In July and […]
My squash club has wonderful squash doubles pro-am that runs over the first few weeks of February. The pro at our club, Eric Baldwin, does a great job organizing and it is well supported by the pros around Toronto, which is an very active squash community. Jonathon Power is now a member, as is Gary […]
Ross writes: Has Gavin posted on his IJOC paper? [SM – yes. At RC today.] I will head over tomorrow to have a look. Not today–it’s very sunny here and the ice rink beckons. I am not sure how replication plays into the issue, since I posted my data and code from the get-go. I […]
Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Thomas Gray (English Poet, 1716-1771) From time to time, we here at Climate Audit have the opportunity to draw attention to otherwise obscure […]
Roman M has already done one post on the impact of the Harry error. Ryan O has also done so [see comment here]. As has Steig. I show below some graphics that I’ve just done on AWS recon trends. At Steig’s website, he now states: awsreconcorrected.txt is a correction to the above file, using corrected […]
So how did Steig et al. calculate the AWS reconstruction? Since we don’t have either the satellite data or the exact path they followed using the RegEM Matlab files, we can’t say for sure how the results were obtained. However, using a little mathemagic, we can actually take the sequences apart and then calculate reconstructed […]
More changes at 6 ocean stations at BAS listed here , together with a revised “credit” here. One of the 6 stations is Chatham Island, where I noticed a problem on June 13, 2008 when I was trying to replicate GISS methodology using Wellington NZ as an example. John Goetz pinned the erroneous source to […]
Many bemused blog readers know by now that Gavin Schmidt aka Mystery Man has taken a few hours off from his dedicated and long-standing interest in station data integrity to file a complaint to the University of Colorado about a post that Roger Jr wrote about the Gavin Affair. Gavin has refused Pielke permission to […]
