Eli (RTFR) Rabett, has a new defence of GISS adjustments, arguing that we should simply trust the clergy at GISS. Eli seems to be particularly prickly when it comes to anything that could be construed as criticism of GISS. (BTW Roger Pielke Jr and others have said that Eli is a pseudonym for Josh (RTFR) […]
Another parking lot being measured for climate change: Newport, TN The surfacestations.org project has reached an important milestone. With the submission of #222, Lexington, VA, submitted by John Goetz, we are now below the 1000 mark (out of 1221) stations left to survey. It was a 3 -way race to #222 between power surveyors John […]
A Tucson climate scientist commenting on the location of the University of Arizona weather station in parking lot acknowledged that: It’s true that situating a weather station in a parking lot is not the best location. An understatement to day the least. He argued against locating the weather station on a nearby lawn: The emissivity […]
This picture, taken by http://www.surfacestations.org volunteer Don Kostuch needs no commentary from me other than to say it is the Detroit Lakes, MN USHCN climate station of record. The complete set of pictures is available in the online database here Here is the GISS plot:
Warren Meyers, who got the pictures of Tucson’s asphalt climate station, went to another USHCN station today. He writes in his blog: “I then went to visit Wickenburg. Though it has been growing of late, Wickenburg would still be considered by most to be a small town. So perhaps the Wickenburg measurement is without bias?” […]
Warren Meyer, one of the first surfacestations.org volunteers, delivered Tucson today. You may remember from the “Red and Blue States” thread on CA that Tucson had the greatest positive temperature trend for any USHCN station after TOBS adjustment. I’ve been trying to find the words to describe this station, but the pictures really do a […]
I’ve been involved in meteorology in one way or another since 1976, and while I knew of the vast number of COOP stations around the USA, I never knew that a good number of them are at sewage treatment plants until I started my surfacestations.org project. It seems to me, that given the physical makeup […]
The picture below is of the USHCN climate station of record for Newport Beach, CA When I first visited this site I did a double take. Then started searching for the “real” temperature sensor. I couldn’t believe that NOAA allowed them to use consumer grade equipment. I was sure I just hadn’t located the MMTS […]
This picture below comes to me via surfacestations.org volunteer Kristen Byrnes, a 15 year old budding scientist that has created a bit of a stir with her critique of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth. Her website,”Ponder the Maunder” also has more photos of weather stations. It is the USHCN Climate Station of Record for Lewiston, Maine, […]
Pictures have been coming in to http://www.surfacestations.org from many places. This one is from Fort Morgan, Colorado’s USHCN climate station of record. Fort Morgan is in the eastern plains of Colorado, about 100 miles northeast of Denver. The sensor recording the wide open plains has four air conditioners near it!
