Further, his test has to be confirmed by actual field measurements
of UHI effects at small or zero population sites.
Now that Nature agrees with my assessment on the consequences of Muller's PR Blitzkrieg, I wonder if we really can't get anything better
on uhi in these days of Google Earth?
Here's one simple but very clear picture of
UHI trends from Russia (Salehard, Yamal) and here's a Russian scientist from Heartland giving actual figures based on analysing Russian / CRU data rel.
People should be concerned
about UHI for health reasons.
A city will do fine, as you'll not have to faff around
with UHI corrections.
Following from your logic, if you haven't answered my other points on how
UHI bias can be eliminated, can I take it you agree that the problem can be satisfactorily handled?
BEST's
UHI paper sticks out as a prime example.
So even I, a skeptic, would expect a disproportionate number of the all - time high temperatures to be in the last decade, particularly without
UHI correction and with the bias discussed above.
Were they justified in reporting a negative result for
UHI influence on the temperature record?
Are we to believe that BEST's work to
find UHI in the temperature data ranks up there with Michaelson - Morley's failed search for the aether wind?
But burying their heads in denial over
UHI contamination problems — this only makes them look anti-scientific.
So in order for this to be an explanation of the null - measurement of the increase in
UHI over 50 years, the wind behavior has to choose the right value of the mixing parameter for the whole period.
The study establishes a method for
estimating UHI intensities using PRISM — Parameter - elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model — climate data, an analytical model that creates gridded estimates by incorporating climatic variables (temperature and precipitation), expert knowledge of climatic events (rain shadows, temperature inversions and coastal regimes) and digital elevation.
You keep overlooking the fact that there are areas around globe
where UHI can not explain the differences between TLT and surface temperatures.
