Not exact matches
The most likely explanation being that the land based thermometer record has become inaccurate due to
station drop out, particularly high latitude drop out, a biasing towards
airport stations, poor
station siting and a failure to properly allow for UHI which is having an ever increasing
impact upon post 1960s temperatures because of not simply an increase in urbanisation but also the drop out of rural
stations and the ever increasing percentage of
airport stations and
airports have so greatly changed during the 1970s and 1980s.

So any
airport that is likely to have an
impact needs to be near a large growing city to generate the large and increasing traffic volumes to cause the
airport to be large and growing, in a region that is sparsely populated otherwise so there are few other
stations.
