It will make a difference if you use GHCN or USHCN, and what version you use (e.g. USHCN F52/GHCN v2.mean_adj vs. raw versions) since the U.S. has a known cooling bias in the raw data (from TOBs and MMTS at least).Zekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757819498566612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729093380675162051.post-92231674231076500952010-04-15T01:45:48.192+10:002010-04-15T01:45:48.192+10:00We have Nick's version of Conus, your version,...We have Nick's version of Conus, your version, GISS, add josephs..<br />maybe you guys could convince tamino to do one, I'm working on asking Jeff.. or In a pinch We could subset v2.mean to just Conus and feed it to jeff's algorithm rather than moding his code. <br /><br />By doing that we come pretty close to comparing apples to apples.<br />GISS do some fiddling with GHCN and USHCN and drop some US stations entirely. <br /><br />In the end what you have is a "proof" of the claim ( which we all know to be largely true) that the various methods of averaging produce the "same" answer.stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920897530071011399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729093380675162051.post-31601243931415541982010-04-15T00:16:04.059+10:002010-04-15T00:16:04.059+10:00A U.S. comparison of what exactly?A U.S. comparison of what exactly?Zekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757819498566612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729093380675162051.post-40854789126167853332010-04-14T18:49:05.068+10:002010-04-14T18:49:05.068+10:00ok,

A graph point which is determined by only a few stations will be relatively lightly weighted, unless the weight function is varied.<br /><br />The weighting takes account of spatial sparsity (through the grid) - maybe something similar is needed in time for series like this.Nick Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377413236983002873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729093380675162051.post-48763776622104319912010-04-07T00:52:34.120+10:002010-04-07T00:52:34.120+10:00Those '90/91 values in the dropped series look...Those '90/91 values in the dropped series look suspicious.
