Among controlled installations, it includes lighting common areas (on and off, scheduling, etc.), energy management (display and
recording of electrical parameters), pumping station
of drinking water (pump status, levels and constant pressure) and the overall distribution network (pressure and flow), air conditioning and heating (on and off,
temperature recording by zones), compressed air station laboratory (state
of the compressors, room ventilation, pressure and flow supplied) and administrative management (incidents, warnings
reviews, etc).
Thompson et al. do not provide a time series estimate on the effects
of the bias on the global

review of worldwide sea surface
temperatures for August and for the stretch from June through August and finds that both the month and the «summer» (as looked at from the Northern Hemisphere) were the warmest at least since 1880, when such
records were first systematically compiled.

While the U.S. isn't,
of course, the whole world, it has the world's best
temperature records, and a
review of the NOAA data since 1895 shows that in the 20th century the U.S.
temperature trends mirrored, quite closely, the global
temperature trends.

Not only has the accuracy
of the surface
temperature record been confirmed by BEST and Watts» own Fall et al. (2011), but also by a number
of other peer -
reviewed papers such as Peterson et al. (2003) and Menne et al. (2010).
Anthony Watts himself has co-authored two peer -
reviewed scientific papers, one
of which was the aforementioned Fall et al., which confirmed the accuracy
of the surface
temperature record with respect to the average global surface warming.
The research, published by Carlos Jaramillo and Andrés Cárdenas
of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama,
reviewed some 3,800 published estimates
of temperature over the past 120 million years and compared them to the existence

record.
The idea that I am ignoring all the other problems regarding the surface
temperature record is also ludicrous, as I helped write two
of the peer -
reviewed articles pointing out many
of these issues.
The lack
of anticipated warming was enough to justify a «peer

temperature records had to be at least 17 years not the previously acceptable 15 years.
After
reviewing all
of the processes the Bureau employs to maintain a homogenised
temperature record the panel was satisfied, overall, with the methodologies used by the Bureau to develop ACORN - SAT.
In its answers to questions about the procedure used to estimate a
record hot day on January 7, the BoM revealed that a more detailed analysis
of the January heat event, including changes in daily average

After
reviewing evidence in both the latest global data (HadCRUT4) and the longest instrumental
record, Central England
Temperature, a revised picture is emerging that gives a consistent attribution for each multidecadal episode
of warming and cooling in recent history, and suggests that the anthropogenic global warming trends might have been overestimated by a factor
of two in the second half
of the 20th century.
How this really changes things when it comes to the validity
of temperature records is never made clear and in addition the folks at WUWT who are trying to push this meme seem to me to be trying to confuse the issue by making references to Leroy 1999 and Leroy 2010 as though these were peer
reviewed papers, which I can't find any evidence
of.
