In fact,
Raw Data has become the first VR game to

Raw Data is still in Early Access.
In my experimentation with the
data, I found that it was virtually impossible to get results inconsistent with the NASA results — rural stations, urban stations,
raw data, adjusted
data — once you average
data from a few dozen stations scattered around the world, everything settles right down to something that looks very much like the NASA
land - temp.
These maps rely on mathematical models that process
raw data on the amounts of microwave radiation that reach a variety of satellite sensors from cloud ice content and the
land and ocean surfaces below.
Remove those two adjustments from the
raw thermometer
data and twentieth century NH
land warming disappears.
If we calculate
land temperature averages from both the
raw and adjusted
data, we can see how much difference the adjustments make.

raw data at about 4Tb, same again for the warehouse, the models should be aggregated so maybe 2Tb for them, can't promise on the presentation layer as can't tell how much of it could be kept virtual.
Weak negative correlations were found between the mean annual NCEP RH and cirrus over oceans, but again, most of the
data over oceans are in the air traffic corridors where contrail formation and
raw aircraft emissions could affect the cirrus trends more than over
land because of greater susceptibility in the more pristine marine air.
