Photos of poorly sited weather stations - The global warming racket broken wide open

Climatological stations are supposed to meet a variety of quality standards, including the relatively undemanding requirement of being 100 feet (30 meters) from paved surfaces. Anthony Watts and volunteers of surfacestations.org have documented one defective site after another, including a weather station in a parking lot at the University of Arizona where MBH coauthor Malcolm Hughes is employed, shown below.

Here is a not-so-well maintained or well sited USHCN station:

Gage-Gate?

“I heard on Bortz’s show that within 3 days of notification of these
blunders, NASA pulled the locations of it’s weather stations
off the internet.”

I’m sure NASA just wanted to be sure the public wasn’t bothered.

With THE TRUTH!

it would be interesting to lay thermometers in a uniform pattern every two feet from the thermometer to show the variations of the temperature just in the 100 yard radius.

Figures lie and liars figure.

Old Hillbilly saying.

It’s a political agenda of the loony lefty commies. They’ve gotten away with it for yrs...but times have changed ... we’re backing them down faster than they ever imagined...HA HA HA

Global Warming is officially “fake but accurate”

That is the only defense the Environistas have.

Enviro-gate?

Great post...BTTT.

Hey.,.. perhaps I can use my Vantage Pro Weather Station for national “high quality” history...:^) - imagine, good data for only $300...

Fantastic thread!

The false readings from these improperly located climatological stations is an inconvenient truth.

Bumpity, bump, bump, bump.

There was an uproar so they are back, at least that's what I read

NRDC and Greenpeace have taught everyone how to FOIA agencies for the data upon which they base conclusions.

CLIMATE-gate!

(because it is about the climate BS)

teamwork cool!

Every day more and more facts come out showing just what a scam global warming really is.

This is just another example.

More to follow.

They did when I was doing stuff for the NWS.

They were real picky.

At least in NYS (NOT NYC)

Check this out

http://www.davisnet.com/product_documents/weather/spec_sheets/NIST_Traceable_Sensors.pdf

That product has an accuracy of  ± 2 degrees C.

The alarmists claim to be seeing warming measure in .1 degree increments.

As a former Metrologist, I can asssure you that you cannot make a measurement measured in tenths of a degree with an instrument accurate to ± 2 degrees.  

It would at a minimum need ±0.01 degrees accuracy to be anything close to precise.

This story is growing more interesting all the time.
