Second (and perhaps more interesting) it often remains high even well into the day of the forecast as the temperatures are obviously not going to make the mark, perhaps because there is unexpected cloud cover and the temperature is in no way going to make 84, it will be lucky to make 78. First, the forecast is almost always high compared to what the day turns out to be, on average in the area. Recently I’ve noted an interesting discrepancy between the NWS forecasts for RDU and reality. I subscribe to Weather Underground and keep its page open in a browser panel all day. An interesting consequence of this is appearing. In the Var in France, I like to do this kind of test ) This difference is not make by the runway (you can check with an other same station before the runway at the same distance of the runway, for this wind direction. Here for several stations with and without ventilated radiation shields, it is very common in the natural sites with yours conditions.Īt Baltimore in this site very open for to get a good natural ventilation, there are not a big problem on the T max with a ventilated radiation shield, if the fan is good. In your case, also there are some clouds and a wind variability for generate this value without runway, it is not unusual to observe these differences. The night, the runway stay very much warmer that the sparse grass. If the soil is very dry with a sparse grass, for the T max of the day with sun, it is warmer that the runway (in a study at Nice aeroport in France (“Topoclimatologie et habitat”, Pierre Carrega), for example, the temperature surface max in september, is 46☌ for the runway for 62☌ for a sparse grass with soil dry (water reserve in the soil : 9 mm for a maximum 150 mm). It’s more like they built a massive tower block based on a geological survey done by schoolkids using “eye spy minerals”. I can only liken it to a diamond dealer buying a supermarket set of scales … no that would at worst be a few percent loss. They are quite happy to use slip-shod data where it suits their purposes, and as I said, the real irony is that a pittance has been spent on the real area of need: ACCURATE TEMPERATURE MONITORING SITES and as a result of a woeful lack of a few billions on temperature monitoring, the world is spending trillions on unneeded and unwanted and economically harmful measures which will probably cost us all many more trillions in lost economic output.

The real irony, is that if the climate “scientists” had been real scientists and a) looked at the data, b)admitted to themselves (or c) stopped lying) then they would have made it known that they needed a top notch metereological data collection system and that it was inappropriate in “such an important issue” to use fifth rate sites to measure data.īut these guys are not real scientists. UPDATE: 3PM PST 4/13/12 The Capital Weather Gang tries to avoid the siting issue with an alternate explanation. This is not the first issue with weather observations at BWI, they also have issues with measuring snow, and I reported here:īWI snow record rescinded: Another reason why airports aren’t the best place to measure climate data. Here in what the BWI ASOS station looks like along with compass points added: I followed up on this, and his story checks out.įirst the table of high/low for the day from BWI:Īnd here are the hourly observations for the day from the BWI airport ASOS station: Global Warming is real (thanks to poorly-sighted thermometers)! This is the second time Justin observed a false high temperature reading this week at BWI. The NWS employee concurred that the extra warmth came from the runway. Once the winds shifted back to a NW direction, the temperature fell back to 59 degrees. That allowed the HEAT from the nearby runway to provide a quick 3 degree warm-up between hourly obs. Why the discrepancy? Justin called the local NWS office.įor a brief 10 minutes, the steady NW wind that persisted all day at BWI shifted to a westerly direction. “There’s no way a jump of 3-4 degrees occurred and then fell back down between obs,” he added. Hourly obs at BWI airport (April 12, 2012) never went higher than 59 degrees.īut, he noticed the official high temperature was listed as 62 degrees. “There’s something fishy going on at BWI (Baltimore International Airport),” he says.
