So basically they argued that the late record was biased because of
different spatial coverage and different altitudes.
Not exact matches
Statisticians can advise on how best to combine data from
different sources, how to identify and adjust for biases in
different measurement systems, and how to deal with changes in the
spatial and temporal
coverage of measurements.
This PCR - infilling must be done for a number of; periods, with
different EOFs for each period (due to
different spatial;
coverage).
Precipitation and soil moisture are both presented using two
different data records that are complementary in terms of
spatial coverage and
spatial resolution.
«Bias might be introduced in cases where the
spatial coverage is not uniform (e.g., of the 24 original chronologies with data back to 1500, half are concentrated in eastern Siberia) but this can be reduced by prior averaging of the chronologies into regional series (as was done in the previous section)... Eight
different methods have been used... They produce very similar results for the post-1700 period... They exhibit fairly dramatic differences, however, in the magnitude of multidecadal variability prior to 1700... highlighting the sensitivity of the reconstruction to the methodology used, once the number of regions with data, and the reliability of each regional reconstruction, begin to decrease.
Another avenue for monitoring is satellite measurements of column inventories of the gases, which provide much more detailed
spatial coverage but no vertical resolution, in which air masses at
different altitudes may carry gases that originated from
different parts of the Earth's surface.
