NOAA claims that their adjustments are small, peer reviewed and well documented. A total of about 0.5F, and then they go flat after 1990.
This is bad enough, but the actual adjustments (below) are much larger than what they document – about three times larger. Note too the oddity with 2012. They had to adjust 2012 raw data down, because their 2012 “raw” data was adjusted upwards by a huge amount.
Raw : ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/ushcn.tavg.latest.raw.tar.gz
Final : ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar.gz
Even worse is that the adjustments now increase exponentially after 1990, whereas their documentation shows that they go flat after 1990.
The graph below superimposes the documented “peer reviewed” adjustments on the actual adjustments which NOAA is publishing. As you can see, they bear little resemblance.
NOAA hides behind peer review, when in fact they aren’t even using the adjustments which they had reviewed. The published NOAA US temperatures bear no resemblance to reality. Bottom line is that NOAA is either completely incompetent or committing fraud – or both.
Looks unsustainable to me. Someone call Greenpeace.
I am sure they are knowingly committing fraud. You would think with increasing urbanization the adjustments should be down, not up. Since skeptics are excluded from the process, peer review is simply cross pollination among like minded true believers, who feel they need to frighten the public into emptying their wallets.
There are jobs, reputations and huge sums of research money at stake. The climate activists — er, “scientists” — have to keep the global warming scare alive at all costs, even if it means manipulating data and lying to the public.
Also, the heads of the various climate agencies (i.e. NOAA NCDC, NASA GISS, NSIDC, etc.) know they must give the right answers to their political masters, or they’re out of a job. Job security and a paycheck is their No. 1 priority; the science be damned.
> have to keep the global warming scare alive
you’re an idiot and this article is pathetic
All of the data presented is straight off the NOAA web site. You don’t have any criticism of the content, so you take an ad hom – because you have nothing intelligent to say.
Sounds like another Goreicle!
Thanks for the through explanation. You must be a real, live climate scientist because you couldn’t think of anything to say, much like blaming CO2 because we know precisely all the other inputs and we can’t think of anything else to blame.
@sardire,
you are obviously a quick learner. if goddard really knew what he was talking about, he would of course explain to us what is wrong with the six corrections to the data listed. we wait with great expectations.
yep, lot of money at stake, it’s called fossil fuels.
In a very specialised research field ‘peer reviewed’ may mean ‘checked by my associates’.
Peer review is a review by somebody who thinks you are as smart as you think you are and is confirming your opinion.
I tried unsuccessfully to open the Raw and Final files using the links you provided.
I copied the ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar.gz and the ushcn.tavg.latest.raw.tar.gz files to my local drive. They are both 1 KB size.
Using 7-Zip 9.20, extracting the ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar.gz file creates a folder ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar, which contains a file ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar. This file is 10 KB size. I can’t open this file. Extracting this (using Winrar or 7-Zip) creates a folder ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i, which contains a folder ushcn.v2.5.0.20130112.MM, which contains no files.
I read the Readme.txt file at ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/
which didn’t help.
Obviously I am doing something wrong. How can I get this data?
I see 5 mb. Look here
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2.5/
Nope, the ushcn.tavg.latest.FLs.52i.tar.gz and ushcn.tavg.latest.raw.tar.gz files are both 1 KB.
Here is a screen shot of the ftp page from the link you provided

There are three files of ushcn.tavg.latest. data. The ushcn.tavg.latest.tob.tar.gz file is 4433 KB.
I thought the 1 KB files where global average data. I think the correct files have gone AWL.
Nice. They are hiding the decline

How do all you knuckleheads explain the receding glaciers which I have been watching with my own eyes
Glaciers have been receding for 20,000 years Homer.
