...This made no sense to me. How could this possibly be true? Why should an arbitrary begin or end of a day make a difference, assuming that one is looking at a sufficiently long number of days. That is how I found out that the sensors were not integrating over the day but just averaging highs and lows. The latter methodology CAN be biased by the time selected for a day to begin and end (though I had to play around with a spreadsheet for a while to prove it to myself). Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
It is just another reason why the surface temperature measurement system is crap, and we should be depending on satellites instead. Can anyone come up with one single answer as to why climate scientists eschew satellite measurements for surface temperatures EXCEPT that the satellites don't give the dramatic answer they want to hear? Does anyone for one second imagine that any climate scientist would spend 5 seconds defending the surface temperature measurement system over satellites if satellites gave higher temperature readings?
