Actually it was me a few days earlier too
and you will see that I raise Judiths issue,the hottest year issue, Roger’s issue ( I think) and propose a CRN test.
back when I was skeptical of this stuff

RE 111.
JerryB you are the TOBS god.
I’ve started reading Karl.

A couple of thoughts.
1. This would be very nice paper for SteveMc and/or yourself to hold court on, Especially now.
2. Time series are adjusted using this model in order to remove BIAS, The adjustments, the argument
would go, should recover the true mean. However, the adjustment is an estimate with an error.
This error does not make its way into the final error terms of the temperature series. Do you think
this is an issue when people want to make claims about “hottest year on record”
3. It might be a ripe time to revist Karls work, especially with some CRN sites producing continuous
data from 3 sensors. A TOBS validation of sorts.”
