Can Temperature Adjustments Right a Wrong?

Discussion

Automated methods to adjust raw temperature data collected from USHCN stations (and by extension, GHCN stations) are intended to improve the accuracy of regional and global temperature calculations to, in part, better monitor trends in temperature change. However, such adjustments show questionable skill in correcting the presumed flaws in the raw data. When comparing the raw data and adjustments from a USHCN station to a nearby CRN station, no improvement is apparent. It could be argued that the adjustments degraded the results. Furthermore, additional uncertainty is introduced when monthly averages are computed from incomplete data. This uncertainty is propagated when adjustments are later made to the data.

A Note on Cherry-Picking

Some will undoubtedly claim that I cherry-picked the data to make a point, and they will be correct. I specifically looked for the closest-possible CRN and USHCN station pairs, with the USHCN station having a class 1 or 2 rating. My assumption was that their differences would be minimized. The fact that a second CRN station was located less than a mile away cemented the decision to analyze this location. If anyone is able to locate a CRN and USHCN pair closer than 50 meters, I will gladly analyze their differences.

Two-thirds of Australias warming due to “adjustments” — according to 84 historic stations

Here’s an update to the digging through our historic records we discussed a month ago, we can now include nearly twice the stations and the difference between temperatures originally recorded 100 years ago and temperatures today are even smaller.

Chris Gillham has been working with CSIR documents and official Commonwealth Year Books. Last month he used the 1953 Year Book which contained 44 weather station averages for 1911-40 to compare with 2000-14 temperatures, but has since discovered that the 1954 Year Book provides an additional 40 stations with 1911-40 data. The average rise in mean temperatures across all 84 weather stations around Australia over the last 70 years of global warming is about 0.3C. This larger dataset suggests as much as two thirds of the current official trend in Australian warming was due to post hoc adjustments, not heat recorded by thermometers.

These historic temperatures were calculated by the best scientists of the day, using the best equipment of the era (the same Stevenson Screen we use now). Yet again, global warming appears to have a “man-made” contribution. Far more important than CO2 is man-made “pollution” called homogenisation.

When doubling the recorded trend makes “No difference”

Bear in mind – some adjustments are necessary because raw is not automatically right. Stations have moved. But the Australian Met bureau can’t explain why all these adjustments are necessary, and indeed still claims the adjustments make no difference to the trend when clearly they do. Ken Stewart heard Dr Vertussy, the Director of the Bureau of Met (BoM), claim on radio last week that the adjustments make “no difference at all”. We look forward to Dr Vertussy’s reply.

And then there is the bizarreness of the half a degree adjusted cooling that occurs in these historic records when modern screens are much more likely to be near tarmac, bitumen, jumbo jets and 15 storey apartment blocks. The Urban Heat Island effect means that modern temperatures are artificially elevated in city CBDs by as much as 5- 7 C, with tests also showing several degrees of UHI at regional weather stations. So we have the paradox that the old records near dirt roads and horse drawn carriages were apparently reading artificially warm compared to thermometers today near roads with 10,000 internal combustion engines passing daily.
