The different temperature datasets and analyses give different results, which reflects the uncertainties in the data and analysis methods.

The other thing is that SST and SAT have different variances and different uncertainties and they respond with different lags, so I UNLES Vaugh does some work with synthetic data FIRST to prove that the methods he applies to this data actually work, I'd say the signal analysis is flawed from the start since the «signal», the temperature curves are not really physical metrics.

«In practice, this method, though not recommended, does not appear to unduly influence reconstructions of hemispheric mean temperature; reconstructions performed without using principal component analysis are qualitatively similar to the original curves presented by Mann et al..»

This was achieved by the false assumption that tree rings area measure of temperatures, and by inappropriate statistical methods and analysis.

There are several factors that are important in monitoring global or U.S. temperature: quality of raw observations, length of record of observations, and the analysis methods used to transform raw data into reliable climate data records by removing existing biases from the data.

For estimating the function (smoothed mean temperature series) and its derivatives, I prefer piecewise polynomial smoothing: Nonparametric Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Analysis.

In particular the regression estimate of the trend in temperature is an inefficient method because it gives greater weight to the disturbance terms in the middle of the interval of analysis compared to those at the ends.

My understanding is that a uniform prior in S (and hence, equivalently, a 1 / Y ^ 2 prior in Y) would be the correct uninformative reference prior (that which has least effect on the posterior PDF) if way stayed with Forster & Gregory's OLS regression method to estimate Y, if and only if the magnitude of the errors in measurements of the surface temperature were much less than combined errors in the measurements of forcings and net radiative balance, the opposite of what Forster & Gregory's error analysis showed.

In regards to point 3, the NAS report on temperature reconstructions concluded that «As part of their statistical methods, Mann et al. used a type of principal component analysis that tends to bias the shape of the reconstructions.

In practice, this method, though not recommended, does not appear to unduly influence reconstructions of hemispheric mean temperature; reconstructions performed without using principal component analysis are qualitatively similar to the original curves presented by Mann et al. (Crowley and Lowery 2000, Huybers 2005, D'Arrigo et al. 2006, Hegerl et al. 2006, Wahl and Ammann in press).»

Furthermore, it is also important to note that the methods used in global temperature analyses make them robust to the loss of stations because they use techniques which incorporate multiple nearby stations into analysis of any individual region.
