Overall, NASA GISS» urbanization adjustments were found to be seriously flawed, unreliable and inadequate.

In this study, their urbanization adjustment procedure was considered.

Not exact matches

The vast majority of their adjustments involved correcting for «urban cooling», whereas urbanization bias is predominantly a warming bias.

The net effect of their adjustments on their global temperature estimates was unrealistically low, particularly for recent decades, when urbanization bias is expected to have increased.

Since both types include a «cooling bias» adjustment, that means that only 15 % of NASA's adjustments are the expected adjustments to remove urbanization bias.

In addition, because urbanization bias continues to increase from year to year, this means that they have to keep on increasing their adjustments every year, meaning that «history is continuously being rewritten».

In our Urbanization bias III paper, we show that their adjustments are seriously inappropriate for dealing with urbanization bias, and actually end up spreading the urbanization bias into the rural statUrbanization bias III paper, we show that their adjustments are seriously inappropriate for dealing with urbanization bias, and actually end up spreading the urbanization bias into the rural staturbanization bias, and actually end up spreading the urbanization bias into the rural staturbanization bias into the rural station records!

They questioned the reliability of the National Climatic Data Center's homogenization adjustments, and suggested that a combination of poor station exposure, urbanization bias and unreliable homogenization adjustments had led to a spurious doubling of U.S. mean temperature trends over the period 1979 - 2008.

«Peterson and others support the IPCC viewpoint at towns with less than 10,000 populations are towns without the need for adjustment for urbanization.

The homogenization adjustments developed by the National Climatic Data Center to reduce the extent of non-climatic biases in the networks were found to be inadequate, inappropriate and problematic for urbanization bias.

Climate fears have been exaggerated due to urbanization and homogenization adjustments on steroids.

When climate scientists first began homogenizing temperature data, the PDO had yet to be named, so I would like to suggest instead of a deliberate climate science conspiracy, it was their ignorance of the PDO coupled with overwhelming urbanization effects that caused the unwarranted adjustments by causing «natural change points» that climate scientists had yet to comprehend.

Charts show the final temperature difference from the baseline period (1950 - 1980) along with adjustments made based on partial / missing data and urbanization effect.

The presumption in my mind is that UHI adjustments would always adjust temperatures lower as urbanization does not act as a cooling influence on the planet.

I never did understand how anyone could possibly adjust for urbanization, siting changes, etc without boots on the ground examining each and every station, and adjustments being made one station at a time.

Still, prior to the satellite - based measurements they were the best proxy for global temperature and if used just to measure trends they could have been a very good proxy if: · Measurements were taken from the same set of global positions each year · Adjustments for creeping urbanization, equipment upgrades and equipment movements were made honestly

Composed of 450 instrumental records from temperature stations sheltered from ocean - air / urbanization / adjustment biases throughout the world, a new 20th / 21st century global temperature record introduced previously here very closely aligns with paleoclimate evidence from tree rings, ice cores, fossil pollen and other temperature proxies.
