Additionally, the Bureau maintains multiple temperature datasets — analysed in different ways — to provide a consistency check on
the accuracy of temperature observations.

It is therefore erroneous to suggest that the estimate
of the global average ocean
temperature is given by the instrument
accuracy divided by the square root
of the number
of observations (as you would if the
observations were
of the same quantity):

The issue
of tropospheric
temperature amplification remains to be completely resolved, but disparities between predictions and
observations have diminished as instrument biases have been corrected, and it is not unreasonable to expect that further improvements in instrumentation
accuracy will largely eliminate the remaining disparities.
In order to estimate globally averaged
temperature changes with a high degree
of accuracy, it is necessary to have a broad spatial distribution
of observations that are made with high precision.break
In these books the authors try to quantify - by physical
observation of the current circumstances and historic records - the
accuracy or not
of the
temperatures in a specific city.
How meaningful is that when the records are 0.01 * C and the
accuracy of global
temperatures with little arctic, little anarctic, Africa, Asia, South Atlantic and Pacific Ocean
observations?
