There has been much discussion on this site regarding the methodology employed by Dr. Hansen’s “Step 1”, also known as the “bias method” in HL87. Readers unfamiliar with the topic may want to read through the material here, here, and here to gain a better understanding of the method and issues raised with employing it. […]
Its true that TOB is pretty far from the topic of this thread, so perhaps our host could start a new one just on TOB, ideally copying into it the pertinent posts from this thread? I may have missed a few, but a good start would be #305, 376, 400, 402, 403, 413, 418, 419, […]
The World Conference on Research Integrity convened in Portugal from 16 to Sept 19. They refer to two incidents – the misrepresentation of the examination of station history in China and the NASA Y2K problem: Addressing the urgent need for fighting fraud, forgery and plagiarism in science world-wide, the very first World Conference on Research […]
It’s been awhile since I have shown new USHCN stations, and its not for lack of material. But I got busy with the UCAR conference, publishing a slide show, and other things. But this morning, über volunteer Don Kostuch sent me a note on his latest survey in Titusville, FL near Cape Canaveral and KSC. […]
Dr. Ioannidis, an epidemiologist who studies research methods at the University of Ioannina School of Medicine in Greece and Tufts University in Medford, Mass, has documented how, in thousands of peer-reviewed research papers published every year, there may be so much less than meets the eye. He writes in the WSJ as follows: Most Science […]
No discussion of CO2 measurements, thermodynamics, theory of radiation, etc. please – other than to identify interesting references.
Let’s move from the 2 column case to the 3 column case (e.g. Bagdarin, already considered) applying the results here. Some of the hypotheses from the earlier discussion have to be re-visited. Bagdarin has 3 dset=0 versions (0,1,2). As we’ve seen in the 2-column case, the column that continues to the present (version 2) exactly […]
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 […]
No discussion of CO2 measurements please.
Bernie has collated the population of the Brazil GHCN stations (used in GISS) located here. OF 20 GHCN/GISS “rural” stations, only 3 currently have populations under 5,000 and some are now cities. Of 7 GHCN/GISS “small” towns, 6 are currently cities.
