First of all McIntyre said, «If the benchmark is an all - engine inlet measurement system... all temperatures from 1946 to 1970 will have to be increased by 0.25 - 0.3 deg C since there is convincing evidence that 1970 temperatures were bucket (Kent et al 2007), and that this will be phased out from 1970 to present according to the proportions in the Kent et al 2007 diagram... Recent trends will be cut in half or more, with a much bigger proportion of the temperature increase occurring prior to 1950 than presently thought.»

· Some systems use a station's temperature and / or the temperatures of surrounding stations over time to adjust a station's temperature measurements, so that they appear to be consistent.

Bias could still be introduced into the system by exploiting large areas with no temperature measurements, such as the Arctic, but the proposed system also makes this a bit more difficult.

My system can also use every temperature measurement as is, on an equal footing with all other temperature measurements.

The whole point is to have a system that uses every surface temperature measurement unchanged.

In it, Gray argues «that the quality and reliability of the IPCC's measurements are poor, the system of determining how much weight should be attributed to different influences on the earth's temperature is faulty, and the validity of evidence derived from computer modeling is questionable.»

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology appears to have put in place a measurement system guaranteed to provide new record high and low temperatures,» she said in the letter.

• The measured «average global temperature» isn't necessarily representative of the overall thermal energy in the system, because temperatures can change in regions not part of the measurement system.

I think I might be responsible for that abuse of jargon; just meant to convey that the macrostate (globally averaged temperature) has a whole bunch of equi - probable (or as close as makes little difference given how under - constrained by measurement the system is) microstates (spatial distributions of temperature).

* In addition to maturity issue for the dataset, what about the fact that large (compared to the rest of the system's heat capacity) changes can result from tiny changes in temperature measurements arguably within instrumental detection limits?

Dessler (2011) used observational data (such as surface temperature measurements and ARGO ocean temperature) to estimate and corroborate these values, and found that the heating of the climate system through ocean heat transport was 20 times larger than TOA energy flux changes due to cloud cover over the period in question.

These include the primary surface temperature thermometer records (NASA GISS, NOAA, and HadCRUT); satellite measurements of the lower troposphere temperature processed by Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama - Huntsville (UAH); and 5 major reanalysis datasets which incorporate station data, aircraft data, satellite data, radiosonde data, buoy and ship measurements, and meteorological weather modeling.

Part II more fully articulates the scientific basis for the discussion and conclusions that are presented in Part I, by detailing the major, relevant measurement systems and their temperature records.

A number of possible research strategies for improving the understanding of uncertainties inherent in the various measurement systems and the relationship between surface and upper air temperature trends are proposed in the report.break

And to bring things back full circle: If you can measure a temperature difference from the bottom to the top, you must also be able to extract work or transfer energy from the system because the measurement itself must transfer energy.

Remote - sensing systems called profilers have been developed to provide almost continuous measurements of wind and, somewhat less accurately, of moisture and temperature throughout the lowest 10 km (6 miles) of the atmosphere.

Such an assessment should involve a detailed analysis of the sensitivity of global - mean temperatures derived from these three different measurement systems to the various choices made in the processing of the raw data — e.g., corrections for instrument changes, adjustments for orbital decay effects in the satellite measurements, and procedures for interpolating station data onto grids.

The complexity of the climate system and the uncertainty around our understanding of its mechanisms and the feedback interactions of it's components, along with the uncertainty around our measurements of its activity mean that at this stage we can not be sure global surface temperature will trend up or down, or even whether surface temperature is the most useful metric for the throughput of energy in the climate system.

In considering possible sources of errors in the satellite, radiosonde, and surface - based temperature measurements, it should be noted at the outset that none of these measurement systems was specifically designed for long - term climate monitoring (NRC, 1999).

The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and, indirectly, from increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes in many physical and biological systems.

With steady - state, there are heat flows into and out of every volume element of the climate system, but no temperature change — a change in that is what AGW predicts (though even there, at best there might be a new «stationary distribution» of measurements, with higher mean temperatures in most places.)

Although temperature is not a measurement of «heat» in the climate system, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), former directer James Hansen, and the British Hadley Centre for Climate Change, have consistently promoted the use of surface temperature as a metric for global warming.

Temperature Profile Measurement of a Passively - cooled Secondary Concentrator Integrated with a Beam - down Tower System

For example, changes in time of observation, adjustment for a move of a station that was previously sited next to a heat source to a better location (that now allows the station to be classed as Class 1 or 2), switch to a different temperature measurement device or system, etcetera, could explain why smaller classes of raw data don't track well with the overall trend calculated from homogenized station trend data.

Then there are the much more accurate and comprehensive satellite measurement systems, RSS / UAH, which measure 24/7 the average temperature of every cubic inch of the lower troposphere — the exact place where global warming is meant to occur, according to the theory.

And since some of the technologies are newer, we don't fully understand biases or errors that may be in the measurement system (though satellites are not any newer than certain surface temperature measurement devices that are suspected of biases).

While the Leroy (1999) system performs well for new station siting evaluation, it does not take into account the surface area of heat sinks and sources that may encroach upon a temperature measurement station over its lifetime.

I would guess that the proxy record does not accurately capture an accurate (persistently recording too low) CO2 record at the time the proxy material was laid down and that the proxies provide far too coarse a system of measurement so that rapid, proportionately large temperature driven variations are not captured either.

The introduction of this new measurement system known as the MMTS (Maximum - Minimum Temperature System) represented the single largest change in how temperatures were measured and reported since the Cooperative Network was established in the system known as the MMTS (Maximum - Minimum Temperature System) represented the single largest change in how temperatures were measured and reported since the Cooperative Network was established in the System) represented the single largest change in how temperatures were measured and reported since the Cooperative Network was established in the 1800s.

His questioner then lists them: UAH, RSS, HadCrut and GISS — four of the most basic measurement systems of global temperature.

Thus we are looking for a signal of 0.006 degrees warming per year, in a system where the accuracy of our global temperature measurements is no greater than perhaps a degree.

There is a study of a German transition from traditional glass mercury thermometer measurement stations to the new electronic measurement system, http://notrickszone.com/2015/01/14/germanys-warming-happens-to-coincide-with-late-20th-century-implementation-of-digital-measurement/, where a side - by - side run of the old and new equipment for 8.5 years found that the new equipment yielded a temperature reading 0.93 C higher on average.
