If you can’t, then all your analysis is at best useless.

… any bias is constant?

That should be “… any microsite bias revealed at surfacestations.org is constant?”

you don’t even know what “high quality” means in regards to the USHCN.

There’s no such thing as “”high quality” in regards to the USHCN”. There is high quality, and there is not high quality. Unless of course what you’re saying is that the USHCN stations are such a pile of garbage that even the Redding site can be considered “high quality” with respect to the other garbage stations! In that case the issues are far deeper and more serious than I ever imagined.

“a bias that’s been constant since the site was established… is perfectly useful for establishing a trend.”

I would agree, but where are the studies showing that any bias is constant? (Please don’t bring up Parker – it does not apply to microsite issues)

“a bias that’s been constant since the site was established… is perfectly useful for establishing a trend.”

Why should we not believe that you, and the weather stations, are both giving consistently biased and therefore useful information?

As long as the bias is consistent, the trend can still be determined.

When dealing with a specialized topic like this definitions are very important. Again, do your homework.

Statement “b” does not follow from statement “a”.

It wasn’t meant to.

The site is not “high quality” primarily because of the nearby asphalt. CRN, NWS, and NOAA all have standards for station siting specifying that stations be 100ft from paved surfaces. If any of these standards are applied to the USHCN site in quesiton, it fails miserably.

The sum total of these effects is unknown!
…
The site is not “high quality”.

Statement “b” does not follow from statement “a”.

For instance, the sum total of these effects may be negligable. Or may introduce a bias that’s been constant since the site was established, in which case the data is perfectly useful for establishing a trend.

Nanny: you just broke my irony meter. In terms of the games that have been played here, I am pleased to let the record speak for itself.

Good night.

I’ve noticed that you have consistently failed to answer my questions posted here. It is obvious that you are just a game-player and not interested in actally pursuing these climate related issues. Have a good evening.
