thats the reason why your reference is so elusive(\__/)

He was married to the novelist Emma Tennant between 1963 and 1968, and to Christine Verity. In 1979, he married Valerie Patrick, with whom he has two sons, Nick and Alex; they live in Somerset.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Originally posted by speling bee View PostYes, he seems so. To clarify, when you say 'good enough', do you mean that Booker conducted the peer review?

These are calculated values, a critic would say fabricated, a fan would say whatever pj says next (i cant imagine)
One is the approach EO travesties. Imagine two stations in the same position, clearly they show the same trend. Now move them apart and measure how the trend (not the absolute values, note) start to diverge. The stats show that the correlation drops to 50% at a distance of 1200km, and this is the radius that NASA use when infilling. They also do an alternative plot with a radius of 250km.
What is the alternative? If you leave the cell 'null' then this is effectively inserting the global average into the unknown cells, which is what the Hadley Centre do. Each choice is defensible, but if the sparsely-covered areas are warming faster than the average, such as is predicted to happen in the Arctic, then we would expect NASA GISTEMP to show a slighter higher trend in recent years, which is exactly what we do see. I'm not sure that rocketing is the right word.
Incidentally, Cowtan and Way addressed this recently Coverage bias in the HadCRUT4 temperature series and its impact on recent temperature trends - Cowtan - 2014 - Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society - Wiley Online Library
You show me the peer reviewed support for their methodology
The latest updates to the methodology are here http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/updates_v3/ and you can download, complile and run their source code for the analysis if you really want ....
