In order to understand the potential importance of the effect, let's look at what it could do to our understanding of climate: 1) It will have zero effect on the global climate models, because a) the constraints on these models are derived
from other sources b) the effect is known and there are methods
for dealing the errors they introduce c) the effect they introduce is local, not global, so they can not be responsible
for the
signal / trend we see, but would at most introduce
noise into that
signal 2) It will not alter the conclusion that the climate is changing or even the degree to which it is changing because of c) above and because that conclusion is supported by multiple additional lines of evidence, all of which are consistent with the trends shown in the land stations.
