Garbage In, Garbage Out: 96% of NOAA Temperature Stations Fail ‘Uncorrupted Placement’ Standards

A study that investigated the placement of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature stations found that 96 percent of the facilities used to measure heat failed to meet the agency’s own “uncorrupted placement” standards.

Research for the study shows the 96 percent corruption is because the stations’ measurements are tainted by the effects of urbanization – or heat produced because of their close proximity to asphalt, machinery, and other heat-producing, heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects.

The Heartland Institute compiled the report using satellite and in-person surveys of NOAA weather stations that contribute to the “official” land temperatures in the United States.

“With a 96 percent warm-bias in U.S. temperature measurements, it is impossible to use any statistical methods to derive an accurate climate trend for the U.S.” Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts, who directed the study, said is the study announcement distributed to the press. “Data from the stations that have not been corrupted by faulty placement show a rate of warming in the United States reduced by almost half compared to all stations.”

“NOAA’s ‘Requirements and Standards for [National Weather Service] Climate Observations‘ instructs that temperature data instruments must be “over level terrain (earth or sod) typical of the area around the station and at least 100 feet from any extensive concrete or paved surface,’” the press release said. “And that ‘all attempts will be made to avoid areas where rough terrain or air drainage are proven to result in non-representative temperature data.’

That can't be accidental.

NOAA Temperature Adjustments Correlate Exactly with the Rise in CO2 - Big Surprise

Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend. These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering. When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.

NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years March 7, 2016

NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ 6/4/2015

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year “pause” in global warming: They “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record. New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.

GISS US tampering.

NOAA = Fake Science!

Shades of CoupFlu data...

Who was the freeper, who documented how these station were relocated from standard areas to places like roofs over bakeries or a treeless stand in an airport by the tarmac?

But real Climate Scientologists will tell you that it doesn’t matter.

Not necessarily. Police and fire stations are often places where these instruments are located. In towns, surrounded by all of those heat sinks mentioned, long ago and still there.

Don’t think for a moment it is an interesting incidental happenstance.

Having worked regional monitoring for mil/civ diaster planning, it is common place. Otherwise, NOAA would have to lease, develop and maintain in spec platforms, they just punt, and give the local PD a bit of money for convenience.

Ask a local PD if they have a NOAA data logger and weather set on on the roof...I almost bet they do.

another was in middle of a shopping mall parking lot

When a scientist asked people to go to Gubmint website which
had the locations of these weather recording stations and send in pictures of what they found

Gubmint bureaucrats remove the locations from the website .......

And this situation was reported on and we discussed it on FR nearly 20 years ago. NOAA does not want to fix the problem. I guess they consider it a feature not a flaw.

96 percent of the facilities used to measure heat failed...

[metmom]

That’s fine but my point remains that when they were placed, they were placed correctly and that urban sprawl has changed the surrounding conditions.

Perhaps we should deploy a array of sheeps’ bladders to prevent earthquakes—and volcanic eruptions.

I remember when Watts first proposed this. He had pictures of weather stations next to AC compressors, trash burn barrels, and one just off the end of the runway subject to regular jet wash. When he started to organize volunteers to go to every site in the county to verify it was in the recorded location and away from buildings and pavement, NOAA took the location list off the web “for privacy purposes”. Nope, you can’t go double check the government’s work, peasants).

Read this 20 years ago...

[nesnah]

But, but, but.....waitaminute.

Obama said 97% of climate scientists agree Gorebull warming is indeed occurring (just not at Martha’s Vineyard 😉).

97 > 96, so it must be happening!

[TigersEye]

No need for a sarcasm tag.
Your proposal would be no less effective than reducing CO2 emissions to prevent atmospheric warming.

Here I think it is 5-10. I can feel it just by holding my hand out the window.

We used to have threads with a lot of photos of some of these terrible placements.
