Recently Anthony Watts noted that the Lampasas TX station was relocated in 2000 to an extremely poor location and attributed a hockey-sticking of the Lampasas series to this re-location. In a comparison that I made with nearby Blanco TX (which is the sort of comparison that USHCN says that they do), it seemed plausible that […]
First, let me thank me thank Judy Curry for inviting me to make a presentation at their seminar series and for both spending so much time and energy showing me around the department and hosting me so hospitably. I was the guest at many interesting presentations by able young scientists and at splendid lunches and […]
Pseudonymous U of Arizona climate scientist, Atmoz, has stated that the sharp increase of surface temperatures in 2000 in Lampasas TX recently reported at Climate Audit is not due to problems resulting from site relocation, but from an unidentified faulty algorithm (“UFA”) used by NASA. Atmoz stated Adjustments made by [NASA] GISS to this station […]
I’m going to Georgia Tech for a couple of days at the kind invitation of JEG (Julien Emile-Geay) and Judith Curry. I’ll be presenting at their Friday afternoon EAS seminar series (http://www.eas.gatech.edu/school/seminars/) (3:30 to 4:30), which is geared towards a broad scientific audience. In addition, I’ll be spending time with each of the protagonists, plus […]
Jablonowski and Williamson is here. Judith’s review follows.
There’s not much in climate science that annoys me more than the sniveling acquiescence of government bureaucrats in Lonnie Thompson’s flouting of data archiving policies. To his credit, Thompson has collected unique data. To his shame, Thompson has failed to archive data collected as long as 20 years ago. This would be bad enough if […]
The Sheep Mountain CA bristlecone site is the most important proxy in MBH and the MBH98 reconstruction actually doesn’t differ very much from the Sheep Mountain tree ring chronology (other than it ends in 1980 at pretty much the peak of the Sheep Mt chronology and doesn’t include the downtick in the 1980s.) Various efforts […]
Thanks to Leif Svalgaard for his continuing support of Svalgaard discussion, which is continued here (preceded by #2 here) and #1 here. Continued here.
David Holland’s FOI request for the Review Comments on IPCC AR4 Chapter 6 (Paleoclimate) has been successful, leading to David obtaining the comments, such as they are, which have now been placed online at CA here (though not yet at IPCC.) David Holland’s request was noted up here; last year, we noted the appalling response […]
Hansen et al 1988 reported that they expected extra warming in the SE United States, a theme that was mentioned in his testimony in Washington in summer 1987. Hansen et al 1988 stated: there is a tendency in the model for greater than average warming in the southeastern and central U.S. and relatively cooler or […]
