Global temperature data comes from thousands
of observation stations around the world, but in some regions, such as deserts and mountaintops, stations are rare.
One issue that has received considerable attention is the question of the «quality» of
surface observation stations, particularly in the US.
The period of increased warming from 1987 to 1997 loosely coincided with the divergence of the global average temperature anomalies over land, which are derived
from observation station recordings, and the global average anomalies in sea surface temperatures.
The collection of larger than usual amounts of Arctic winter weather data in 2015 was due to two reasons: the Norwegian research vessel Lance was in the Arctic Ocean observing and collecting upper atmosphere meteorological data, and the frequency of observation and data collection was increased at some of the land - based
observation stations around the Arctic.
Colin Price and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University studied data from 26
observation stations worldwide, comparing lightning activity to tropical storm formation during the 2005 and 2006 hurricane seasons.
The NILU researchers took air samples from a total of 23
observation stations in Chittagong and the surrounding beach areas.
From this
mobile observation station, art works and ephemera were mailed back to headquarters at the Center for Curatorial Studies, where they have been processed and displayed by CCS Bard graduate students in a post office / receiving station constructed specifically for the project located in the Center's Audrey and Sydney Irmas Atrium.
Oh for Crying Out Loud of laughing out loud which ever you prefer, the difference between volcanic CO2 and manmade CO2 is indistinguishable (that means you can't tell the difference), so why would you put a
CO2 observation station right next to a volcano?
In a recent study using new methods we very carefully examined how representative our findings from the Puijo Tower aerosol and
cloud observation station were.
My sense is that before satellites, we got some measurements of arctic ice extent from
fixed observation stations and ship reports, but these were spotty and unreliable.
Global average temperature The mean surface temperature of the Earth measured from three main sources: satellites, monthly readings from a network of over 3,000 surface
temperature observation stations and sea surface temperature measurements taken mainly from the fleet of merchant ships, naval ships and data buoys.
Schimel's research team is assimilating new observational tools using satellites, networked
surface observation stations, and aircraft sampling with the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Community Land Model.
When a large plume of aerosols with an abundance of ultrafine particles passed by
an observation station, the researchers observed a corresponding, more powerful vertical wind motion and heavier rain.
The facilities at Jungfraujoch station include chemistry and medical laboratories, an astronomical dome, and a weather
observation station, while the Gornergrat station offers astronomical observatories.
The highest precipitation at
an observation station was at Koli in Lieksa, with 55.4 millimetres, and the lowest was in Muonio - 7.8 millimetres.
The name of
the observation station is given together with the observations.
Local weather observations are collected from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's
observation stations.
In this hands - on session, we will explore how technology can be used to create fluency centers, math centers, writing centers,
observation stations, and more.
Some missing values and errors in the temperature and precipitation tables were filled using correlations with the station at Lewistown, MT and the first - order automated surface
observation station (ASOS) at the Helena, MT airport (Additional file 1).
Daily records of all stations for each day are converted to color and plotted on a map at the precise coordinates of
the observation station.
Data from
the observation stations are compared to historical data from a long - term period (and different groups use different time spans).
