Sentences with phrase «uhi correction»

So even I, a skeptic, would expect a disproportionate number of the all - time high temperatures to be in the last decade, particularly without UHI correction and with the bias discussed above.

NASA do perform a UHI correction as described in hansen 2010 (and previous papers as well) This correction is ONLY applied to stations that have nightlights values greater than 10.

NASA does a UHI CORRECTION for a SUBSET of stations

[Response: First off, the UHI correction is a trend, not an offset.

Good luck getting a nice pristine «rural reference station» for use in that UHI correction... and that then means that the «anomaly boxes» made from those stations are ALL comparing an airport today to an open area not filled with jet exhaust and tarmac in the past.

So your choices are a) Wrong way via airports or b) NO UHI correction due to not enough reference stations.)

4) Despite homogeneity adjustments in the USHCN record to increase agreement between neighboring stations, USHCN trends are actually noisier than what I get using 4x per day ISH temperatures and a simple UHI correction.

No UHI corrections will then be necessary, and the results will be valid if the rules of statistics are adhered to.

A city will do fine, as you'll not have to faff around with UHI corrections.

Not exact matches

Hmm... Many adjustments also reduce the trends (such as correcting for UHI and the bucket corrections on the SST).

That means using meta - data, using corrections of known biases, comparing near - by stations, correcting for UHI etc..

For example, every single instrument in the surface average have manual adjustments made in multiple steps, from TOBS to corrections for UHI to statistical homogenization.

Homogenised monthly mean temperature series (1780 - 2013) with UHI (Urban Heat Island), elevation and observation hours correction; and homogenised monthly precipitation amount series (1841 - 2013).

Oh, and no correction for UHI, even though many stations are in / on one.

Are either of these «corrections,» UHI or microsite, applied to the surface values at the 50 or so stations where radiosondes are launched?

The most recent exposition of CRU methodology is Brohan et al 2006, which stated in respect to UHI that they included an allowance of 0.1 deg C / century in the uncertainty, but does not describe any «correction» to the reported average temperature:

Be that as it may, Brohan et al 2006 does not say that they make any «correction» to their records for UHI, only that they make a slight increase in «uncertainty» — a completely different thing even in Gavin - World.

Even if the new USHCN adjustments «corrected» for UHI in the US, this does not permit Schmidt to claim, as he did, that corrections had been effected by NOAA on the other 94 % of the earth's land surface.

However, I am unaware of any published documents by either of these agencies that indicate that they «correct» their temperature index for UHI effect (as Gavin claims here) and so I'm puzzled as to how Gavin expects D'Aleo to be able to «know» that they carry out such corrections.

We have UHI «corrections» that go the wrong way in about 1/4 of the cases.

Each organisation in turn then subject sthe «raw» or «unadjusted» data to a series of «adjustments» /» homogenisations» supposed to allow for station movements, instrument / equipment changes and in some cases Urban Heat Island (UHI) correction.

But that doesn't seem consistent with the idea of «improving» the data quality at each station and removing contamination like UHI, TOBS, and sawtooth drift - correction patterns.

It should be noted that whilst BEST claim no discernible effect of UHI on their record the UK Met Office acknowledges corrections of up to 1.5 C for this, largely to the minimum temperatures where most global warming is found.

UHI is a real problem, and without that correction the global trends would be biased high.
