I’ve lost track of the number of “unthreadeds” on CA, but the last one at 800 + posts is getting a bit unwieldy. So please continue here. – Anthony
I arrived in Bangkok late Wednesday night local time – lots of travel. I returned from the Heartland conference to Toronto on Monday night, left Toronto early morning Tuesday for Bangkok, connecting in Tokyo with a two-hour layover in Vancouver. I’d looked at going from New York but surprisingly Air Canada’s prices from Toronto were […]
I shared a panel with Steve McIntyre at ICCC 2009, and he made his presentation publicly available. I’m providing the link here for anyone interested. If you don’t have PowerPoint 2007 on your PC, a free viewer is available here. There are also Office 2007 file compatibility updates for older versions of Office/PowerPoint available here. […]
The UAH and RSS global temperature anomaly data was posted while Steve and I were at the ICCC in New York. I’m unable to setup a graph for these while I’m on the road, so a short table will have to do: RSS (Remote Sensing Systems, Santa Rosa) RSS data here (RSS Data Version 3.2) […]
Yesterday while at ICCC, I had a chance to talk with Steve McIntyre at length about the state of the Climate Audit server. As many of you know, Climate Audit failed a couple of weeks ago and was down for almost 3 days due to a hard drive failure. Even with RAID1, it didn’t prevent […]
I’m going to be away for most of the next two weeks – I’ll be in New York for a couple of days and then I’m going to Thailand with my wife and daughter to visit one of my sons. I’ll be spotty in internet connection and posting. I’ve asked a couple of regulars to […]
On Feb 26, Garth Paltridge, Albert Arking and Michael Pook’s report on a re-examination of NCEP reanalysis data on upper tropospheric humidity was published online by Theoretical and Applied Climatology. Upper tropospheric humidity is a critical topic in assessing the strength of water vapor feedbacks – knowledge that is essential to understand just how much […]
While I’m often described as a “statistician”, as that’s a word that people understand (or think that they understand), I think of what I do more as “data analysis”. Academic statisticians are interested in different sorts of things than interest me. I have some styles, habits and practices for approaching new data sets, but they […]
Nicolas Nierenberg has taken a look here at Gavin Schmidt auditing of McKitrick and Michaels. He previously reported here on the analysis: Anyway I have written an analysis of spatial autocorrelation as it relates to S09 and MM07. My conclusion is that the primary result in MM07 was not affected by spatial autocorrelation, which is […]
In case you’re wondering where we’ve been, the story is at Anthony Watts’ site. Anthony reports the resuscitation here. Thanks, Anthony. Will chat tomorrow.
