There are so many problems with SFC data that we will just list a few here and discuss them more fully later: [Note that satellite data are relatively immune from problems #1 to #6]
1. Urban heat island effect: well-recognized warming bias but difficult to eliminate.
2. The ‘de-population’ of observing station and the artificial (warming) bias introduced thereby
3. The poor placement of stations, changes in location, changes in monitoring and reporting procedures:
All these are well-recognized problems but require knowledge and corrections of individual stations.
4. Sea Surface Temp(SST): Fundamental issue of penetration of IR energy
5. SST: Changes in sampling instruments and procedures over time.
6. SST: Non-uniform geographic coverage and changes over time
7. Trends: Problems of defining time interval
8. Trends: Errors introduced by ‘smoothing’ procedure
