Bad Weather Station Siting – Even on #Yellowstone
If you hang a thermometer close to the ceiling of a room and another close to the floor in the same room and you read the temperature on both at the same time, you will get two different temperature readings. The difference is going to be even bigger in different rooms. Lots of variables come into play when it comes to determining the average temperature. What reading will be taken, at what time of the day? Will there be flattened averages or single readings? Siting measuring stations should be a process that’s highly standardized to produce comparable daasets. Its not.
