The Sound Of Settled Science

Much easier to fudge the data if you use only a few select weather stations. Easier to keep track of your lies that way...and, obviously it worked, for a while at least.

And the hits just keep on coming!

Print this article and laminate it.

I'm gonna try to be pro-active.....
ClimateGate I
ClimateGate II (non-melting glaciers)
ClimateGate III (langdoliers eating thermometers)

My contribution to the vernacular...perhaps...time will tell.

The steam roller of data showing fraud is just warming up. I bet there are a lot of real scientists that are pissed about having their professional credibility trashed. The MSM will not be able to ignore the deluge of counter-evidence to the IPCC. They will not be able to hide their complicity in the scam, but by trying to will cause what's left of their credibility to sink to new lows.

Confucius say: When big money go to men who find higher temperature, thermometer will be moved to warmer place.

SDA gets results.

So EBD....are you saying that Confucius recommends rectal thermometers?

I was a weather observer for a very short while. In 1995, "Chrétin" shut us down in lieu of automated stations. Automated as in every 80 miles or so.

Every weather (temp.) observer in Canada had a Stevenson screen, two thermometers and a special ledger. The stevenson screen had to be at least 50 Ft. from any building or structure. If the structure was more than 16 Ft. high, the screen had to be an extra 10 ft. for every 10 ft. of height on the building etc.

The screens were 4 ft. off the ground, on a well mowed grassed in surface. My buddy in Montana worked in Glacier National Park--their weather observation criteria was the same as Canada..

Today, you have a hodgepodge of varied equipment. Interestingly enough, at Eureka Station, Nunavut, 12:04 AM CST, Jan 21, the Environment Canada site is "down."

Temp. reading at Eureka is working again. -44°C @ 12:16 AM CST. Do Icebergs melt at that Temp??

Who needs thermometers when we have so many trees?

// "Disappeared" - The Case Of The Vanishing Thermometers //

The "disappearing thermometer" chart, with which Chiefio headlines his summary "Gistemp" site, and introduces with an air of uncovering the AWFUL TRUTH, is in fact a copy of a 1997 American Meteorological Society graph of station trends .... Hardly hidden & well-explained.

//p2842 FIG. 2. Time series of the number of stations (a) and the number of 5° ´ 5° boxes (b) for mean temperature (solid) and maximumand minimum temperature (dashed). The graphs start in 1850, but the earliest mean temperature datum is for January 1701 from Berlin, Germany, and the earliest mean maximum and minimum temperature data in GHCN are for March 1840 from Toronto, Canada.
[Toronto -- anal even then]
The reasons why the number of stations in GHCN drop off in recent years are because some of GHCN’s source datasets are retroactive data compilations [1] (e.g., World Weather Records) and other data sources were created or exchanged years ago. Only three data sources are available in near-real time [2]. [...] //

[1] "Retroactive Data Compilations" refer, for example, to British Colonial Records kept at Fort God-Knows-Where for 80 years, when the fort burnt down. Stations of this sort were in the thousands but no longer exist.
[2] With,I think, about 1000 stations.

I wrote:
I found that when I checked my outdoor thermometer with a flashlight it was quite cold at night. I changed to checking with a candle, and after a few moments, it was much warmer that it had been.

It depends on the source of light that one uses to gather the data.

See?

We had joy
We had fun
moving thermometers in the Sun

But the joys is all done
cuz thermometers are all gone.

I don't do this for the recognition. I do it for the fat cheques I get from Big Oil!

And not one political party does not agree that Global Warming/Climate Change is falling apart.

They all ignore the facts.

Does anybody have any idea how I might contact the Eureka weather station?

Being an island of (warm) humanity in the middle of nowhere, I'd like to get a photo of how the thermometer is placed.

Fake scientists using fake data to impose fake solutions to fake problems.

You've done marvellous work on this file Kate.

Have you ever thought about raising bulldogs too?

heh

Anthony: I will send you an email shortly on how to get hold of them.

Thanks for the zinger 'Kate'. LMAO.

You know, we'd likely have a more accurate record with thermometers tied to a few elk or caribou butts than with the current IPCC's method.

Astoundingly sleazy would be my take of the complicity on this and 'criminal' for the 'professionals' (of all walks) who conspired to scam everybody financially with these outrages lies.

Bunch of thieves to me, the lot of them. I shudder at the thought of a corrupt organization like the UN having say or influence over our lives any more than it already does.

You Bloggers and others, who fact check, track, follow up, publish, produce research, compile records, refute with proof, make information understandable for the laymen and etc., are highly underrated, thanks Kate.

I think soon the only thermometer reading used to measure temperatures around the world will be the rectal one up Al Gore's butt, sharing the space with his head.

Having James Hanson comment on the validity of the research is like having Ken Lay comment on the correctness of Enron's books.

Something seems strange with the temperatures in EUREKA in July 13, 2009. It moved as much as 15.5 degrees in one hour with no change of pressure.

ES:
I just looked at the available information, including the weather balloon information from the date. It appears that a) there was a pretty good temperature inversion with potential temperatures of around 20 there, and b) the atmosphere was convectively unstable, so that the surface temperature could be cool and then, with just the right amount of downward transport, warm up tremendously.
Upper air sounding here

What interests me about this, though, is that I got the raw observations from here (Z time is local +4):
here and here.

Why this interests me is that there has been some sort of massaging of the pressure data. The EC site says, for example, that at 2200 local (02Z) the pressure was 1021.0 kPa, and the raw (manned) observation says in the remarks SLP223, meaning the pressure was 1022.3 kPa. Now, this may be, and most likely is, an innocent data manipulation based on perhaps known biases in the barometer being used and thus the pressure being adjusted, but if that happens from time to time, I wonder what else has been "massaged".

Anthony Watts-

You might want to go through this person's pictures of the Eureka area to see if you can spot the weather station. Some of them were taken from the air, which might help.

Anthony:

This is just a guess but, if you go to the third photo from the left. second from the bottom (immediately to the left of the fox family) I think that the Stevensen screen is on the level area in the right foreground.

For your information, the camp shown is at the airstrip, so the station has been moved. When I worked there in 1951, the camp was right on the beach and the screen was about 100 feet from the operation cum mess building. If my memory isn't too addled, I'd say that the airstrip and present camp are at about 300 feet higher elevation than the original, so there should be a break in the temperature record.

I note that, in the last sequence of photos, they are breaking up and burning the original camp. Stupid buggers. Those ratty old prefabs could still provide useful shelter in an emergency, or serve as storage buildings. Anything made of wood is precious up there. Maybe the f---ing environmentalists thought that the old camp was a blight on the landscape.

When I was with the Joint Arctic Project, Eureka was known as the "garden spot Of the Arctic" because of the abundant plant life there but, I don't think that it was actually warmer than the other four stations.

Thank you for that.

Those pictures are not of the weather station. They are of a military station at the end of the runway from the weather station (CFS Eureka = Canadian Forces Station). The picture in wikipedia was the weather station.

There is another weather site there they use to study the stratosphere, that was built in the early 90’s. It called PEARL now.

I would suggest you contact the base manager of Kenn Borek Air in Resolute. They do all the resupplies for Eureka and they would know whom to contact. You may be able to talk one of the pilots into takeing a picture.

That's interesting. I knew that the military are at Alert (I was stationed there for awhile too, when it was still strictly an 8 man weather station) but had no idea that there was a base at Eureka.

I checked Wikipedia as you suggested, and that is at or near the original location. However, the only thing that I recognize is the radiosonde dome. (Obsolete now of course) Our buildings were prefab, yellow or international orange. Things get changed in 59 years, I guess.
