The enormous difference
between NOAA US and GISS US suggests to me that this hot - off - the - press methodology is not accomplishing a UHI adjustment within the US — or else its result would look more like GISS US.
Further proof that NOAA does not do a UHI adjustment is simply the difference
between the NOAA U.S. and the GISS U.S. series: GISS does a HI adjustment and has a markedly lower trend than NOAA since 1940.
This homogeneity adjust could account for some of the divergence
between NOAA and NASA.

Actually, looking at the Thompson paper, the discrepancy
between NOAA STAR, UKMO and the models (particularly noticable in SSU Channel 1 / 25) is mostly the result of a sharp downward trend in NOAA STAR between ~ 1986 and 1992, not predicted by the models or picked up by the UKMO analysis.
