Hansen would say that the patch of grass cools the sensor, and that it needs to be adjusted upwards.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Don’t forget about the shade, that is provided by all those buildings. That sensor will need large ‘corrections’ to compensate for the UCI effect.
What about the shade from the adjacent street sign?
Good catch! That’s easily another +0.6F adjustment needed, to compensate for AUC. 😉
hmm looking at the shadows on the closer building the only rueleof siting they didnt break?, may be the shade one actually., if this is around 1pm? from the angle? then later it wont be in shade..
however whats on either side of it I wonder?
I used to work less than a block from there. Based on the shadows, the picture was taken before noon. The camera is facing west. That is the fire station on the right, the taller building in the upper left is the courthouse, which is diagonally across the intersection, a small parking lot is to the left. Behind the camera is more paved parking. (Link in Google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/k1sXG)
The sad thing is Bartow is a pretty rural town (it just happens to be the county seat) so the weather station would not need to be located very far from there to be well sited.
and that was meant to be?
rule of siting
Just imagine if these nutcases were trying to promote global cooling or an ice age. We’d probably find thermometers in ice cream trucks or refrigerators.
There is nothing wrong with the climate!
Even if things are warming significantly according to unbiased satellite observations (they’re not), we’re recovering from the Little Ice Age and temperatures rising in this cycle is only natural and to be expected, nothing to make a big hubbub or brouhaha or ruckus or uproar about, nothing to get all hot under the color about. No, unbiased reliable measures showing temps rising would truly be nothing to get excited about. But the satellite measurements are ambiguous, and depending on how the data is interpreted, the satellites shows static temperatures, or even declining temps going back decades.
All the leftist propagandists have to back their assertion of any noteworthy warming are ground-based thermometer measurements … … that are CLEARLY biased, and need to be tossed out. To begin with, the manipulative climate clowns have removed scores of rural stations in the 1990s that would have shown a cooling trend! Someone give a link. And case after case after case, photo documented as in this post, shows thermometers in obviously compromised positions that will accentuate warming! On top of all that, incredibly, the alarmist manipulators take this biased data and perform sleight of hand data manipulations to further enhance their bullshit gwarming hypothesis. Finally, despite all this, they think they might be losing the public opinion battle that it is warming in any alarming way, so they change the moniker of their movement to climate change. This is a farce, a complete unmitigated joke.
The bs artists try to base their whole pitch that we shut down industrial civilization based on this risible data. I say this, for anybody that has been around for more than a couple of decades, and no matter where you live… go outside! There’s nothing alarming about the temperatures or weather. It’s just like it’s always been. The doomsayers want you to look at the newspapers and trumped up sensationalist stories fabricated by the leftist media. Keep reading the propaganda. Watch the ABC nightly news baloney. But don’t go outside and look around and say “all is fine.” Instead, they want you to go outside at dawn, and holler early and loud like a pea-brained rooster, and scream and whistle so you wake up all the neighbors: “the sky is falling!” If I were a neighbor, I’d get out the slingshot and fling one your way.
There is nothing wrong with the climate (h stick debunked), and there is no evidence that CO2 has anything to do with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK_WyvfcJyg&desc=GGWarmingSwindle_CO2Lag
Here’s a paper showing observations, amongst other things, from two sensors 1km apart on the summit of the Greenland ice cap. Take a look at fig 6 in the following paper:
http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0450%282001%29040%3C0741%3AADYOTO%3E2.0.CO%3B2
There is frequently a 2C difference between these sensors! Over a period of 6 months the mean difference was 0.4C with a huge standard deviation of 1.1C.
Must be hard to find a signal with that much noise.
