In other words, the effect of artificially warming up the rural and good stations to match the urban and bad ones is by far greater than the effect
of TOBS adjustments.
Do you have any direct data

So, as a sort of sanity check, perhaps you could produce a comparison for pre-1980 data between

An error in not using
TOBS data was pointed out to you.

I know that with
TOBS work in CONUS the limit was 750KM.
