Examples

  • Recently, NCDC quietly scrapped USHCNv1 UHI scheme and replaced it with a new measurement of “homogeneity” which uses individual station data inflection points (AKA change-point analysis) that are viewed as biases needing adjustment, and then combining the HCN stations with one of perhaps several nearby COOP stations to create a “pairwise” SHAP (Station History Adjustment Program) algorithm.

  • In contrast, no specific urban correction is applied in HCN version 2 because the change-point detection algorithm effectively accounts for any “local” trend at any individual station.
