While there remain disparities among different tropospheric temperature trends estimated from satellite Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU and advanced MSU) measurements since 1979, and all likely still contain residual errors, estimates have been substantially improved (and data set differences reduced) through adjustments for issues of changing satellites, orbit decay and drift in local crossing time (i.e., diurnal cycle effects).

Generally, the remaining uncorrected effect from urban heat islands is now believed to be less than 0.1 C, and in some parts of the world it may be more than fully compensated for by other changes in measurement methods.4 Nevertheless, this remains an important source of uncertainty.The warming trend observed over the past century is too large to be easily dismissed as a consequence of measurement errors.

Therefore the ratio of neither can follow from the anthropogenic fluence, it is smaller than the error in measurement.

In this study, we approach the issue of errors resulting from measurements networks of varying densities from a purely field measurement perspective.

The estimated prevalence of undernourishment (or % people at risk from hunger) is statistically non significant at values below 5 % — due to variation in inter-personal dietary - energy needs and measurement error in food availability and distribution.

That would lead to permanent oscillations in the fit also in ocean areas and that would in turn cause significant errors in the interpretation of the SST measurements as the oscillating fit varies more than the real observed temperatures and makes the deviation of the observed temperature from that expected vary as well as a artefact.

When the inter-methodological (+ / --RRB- 2 C noted by Bemis, et al., is added as the rms to the average (+ / --RRB- 1.25 C measurement error from the work of McCrae 1950 and Bemis 1998, the combined 1 - sigma error in determined T = (+ / --RRB- sqrt (1.25 ^ 2 +2 ^ 2) = (+ / --RRB- 2.4 C.

An error - free laboratory measurement of modern fraction does not imply that the problem collapses into a deterministic look - up from the calibration curve — even if the curve is monotonic over the relevant calendar interval — because the curve itself carries uncertainty in the form of the variance related to the conditional probability of RC age for a given calendar date.

Another factor is that there aren't huge numbers of observations in that region at that time so I would expect a certain amount of noise from measurement errors.

Almost all the uncertainty in fact arose from the statistical fitting of the regression line, with only a small contribution from uncertainties in radiative forcing measurements, and very little from errors in the temperature data.

Parts of the data may have some elements of the errors that are Gaussian — the example of measurement error in terms of scale may be Gaussian — after get through the problems of variances in the thermometers themselves, which is also a well - known problem for mercury thermometers vis a vis their manufacturing — but their measured variance from the true temperature is not demonstrably Gaussian, and gets worse the further back you go.

From what I have seen, people trip over three things: (1) Variability in deterministic models as a function of initial and boundary conditions, and the measurement errors associated with those; (2) variability due to residuals of non-explanation due to limits of mesh grading and imperfections in the physical modeling of materials and physical processes; and (3) variability due to having imperfect descriptions of variability itself, notably linearizations of residuals as if they were i.i.d. which may continue to exhibit dependent behavior.
