All of these issues would be easier to check of course if NASA's GISS, a publicly funded research organization, would publicly release the actual temperature data it uses and the specific details of the algorithms it uses to generate and smooth and correct
grid cell data.

data for all available space and time ocean
grid cells.

Here we present an analysis of daily global fire weather trends from 1979 to 2013 based on three sub-daily global meteorological

Thus, scientists often make climate projections at coarse spatial resolution where each projected
data point is an average value of a
grid cell that measures hundreds of miles (kilometers) across.
(I'd have to train an emulator on the full model output instead of just the

grid cells.
The difference between the HadCrut and GISS treatment of this problem is that HadCrut does not use those
grid cells to calculate the global temperature anomaly while GISS interpolates / extrapolates from the few stations around the artic to infill temperature estimates for the
grid cells where no «real»
data is available.
If you want that, all you have to do is download the
gridded data and average all the
grid cells in Russia.
For the downscaling calculations, each 0.5 °
grid cell was subdivided, if necessary, by country boundaries using 2.5 min boundary
data (CIESIN & CIAT 2005).
If you believe that the monthly temperature anomaly varies considerably within a 200kmx200km
grid cell, then you must question whether
gridded instrumental
data products are valid.
Relevant spatiotemporal covariates including survey date, year, latitude, longitude, elevation and
grid cell elevation differences were also included as predictors, and observations from manual snow surveys at stations located throughout BC were used as target
data.
Average and update likelihood of each

This design then creates issues when
grid cells have few or no
data points, and a great deal of work is needed to deal with the uncertainties caused by the
cell design, as described in the papers cited in this thread.
This means in the Arctic region, GISS
data is relatively coarse grained, as individual
grid cells above 80N may include station
data interpolated out to as much as 1200 km, and are likely to show the higher short term variability which is characteristic of
data from individual Polar stations.
The
data were used to calculate global, monthly inundated fractions of equal - area
grid cells, about 25 km2, taking into account the contribution of vegetation to the passive microwave signal.
The process takes precisely measured point
data and then averages it in some fashion with other
data from farther away, coming up with effectively imaginary values (estimates) for
grid cells that are only vaguely related to the original, precise
data.
People like Jim Hansen and Gavin Schmidt who sit up at the top of the climate food chain and take
data from these weather stations at face value and then use it to extrapolate to nearby
grid cells because there are no other nearby stations in the Arctic really need to get out more and see what the measuring environment is like.
This, along with the importance of retaining continuity at
grid cell level with historical
data, required more extensive harmonization activities (i.e. minimizing the difference between historical reconstruction and future projections, and preserving as much information from IAMs as possible).
There is no significant correlation between the Gomez d18O record and the post 1981 cloud - masked
gridded AVHRR satellite surface temperature

My understanding is that the world is divided up into
grids with official thermometers in them and when we look at the
data, only 20 % of these
grid cells actually have official thermometer readings.
Once Jones, Wigley, and Wright had made several of these kinds of corrections, they analyzed their
data using a spatial averaging technique that placed measurements within
grid cells on the earth?s surface in order to account for the fact that there were many more measurements taken on land than over the oceans.
The mathematical fact is that there is no valid way to compute significance when the
