In next steps we will compare results at a coarser scale (e.g. 5 °) to reduce the inuence of
bias correction on results and also separate into small and large scale explicitly as in Di Luca et al. (2013).

The investigator, Florence L. Finkle, is leaving less than a month after a damning federal inquiry chronicled assaults

bias corrections for changing engine inlet data as well as minor issues related to the modern insulated buckets.
The ``... uneven spatial distribution, many missing data points, and a large number of non-climatic
biases varying in time and space» all contribute inaccuracies to to the global temperature record — as do errors in orbital decay
corrections, limb -
corrections, diurnal
corrections, and hot - target
corrections, all of which rely
on measurements (+ - inherent errors), in the satellite temperature records.
In contrast, the only interval in the GISS or NCDC global time series that looks odd is during the WWII years between 1941 and 1945, where it appears that all the temperatures have a warming
bias of 0.1 C. I agree with J.J.Kennedy that it is an artificial shift based
on war - time procedures, but I think the
corrections that Hadley made post-WWII were questionable.
Progress in the longer term depends
on identifying and correcting model
biases, accumulating as complete a set of historic observations as possible, and developing improved methods of detection and
correction of observational
biases.»
He also presented an example of the application of
bias correction to individual meteorological variables prior to the formulation of the index based
on climate simulations, and showed that the values obtained for the index fitted quite nicely the observations.
One way to check for such
biases, would be to run the
correction repeatedly
on it's own output — the output should, I would suggest, asymptotically approach it's local average.
NASA GISS obtain much of their temperature data from the NOAA who adjust the data to filter out primarily time - of - observation
bias (although their
corrections also include inhomogeneities and urban warming - more
on NOAA adjustments).
Regional climate model
bias correction improved the estimates
on changes to future mean runoff
He made the point well that much of the argument about climate consists of the scientists having to refute claims made by sceptics based
on minutiae without regard for the bigger picture (2008 being colder than 1998 despite the general warming trend, or
corrections upwards to the temperature of a single Tasmanian weather station despite the fact overall there was no
bias).
Given that
biases in buckets measurements depend
on the air - sea temperature difference any more detailed
corrections would involve using both MAT and SST together.
Conversely,
bias corrections which vary over time can have a big effect
on trends.
In climate:
On the need for
bias correction of regional climate change projections of temperature and precipitation Jens.
May a stranger compliment you
on this terrific work and offer the comment that beyond the
biased «
corrections» by NOAA, the data seem also to show that the further away from cities and airports the measurements occur, the less the measurement of increased temperature is.
You're also now complaining about the fact that climate scientists have run
corrections on data with known and well - understood
bias errors, implying that the raw data is somehow «pure» and that the unbiased data has somehow been made «corrupt.»
In particular, he explained the
bias dependency
on the lead time, also known as drift, and distinguished between two approaches for
bias adjustment (and not
bias correction): a non-parametric, consisting in adjusting each forecast time separately, and a parametric approach, where a function to adjust different forecast times at once is used.
On the contrary, they found that the corrections made to the data resulted in ``... bias in unadjusted maximum temperature data from poor exposure sites relative to good exposure sites is, on average, negative while the bias in minimum temperatures is positive (though smaller in magnitude than the negative bias in maximum temperatures).&raqu
