Having some strange offsets in the temperature record
---------------------------------------- This happens when swathes of NOAA's Weather Stations stop reporting A quick check at weatherspark.com shows that Greenland's weather stations are off-air and if Greenland goes off-air at this time of year then it will get "warmer"  I'll keep an eye on it to see if the anomaly persists. If it does then like the Siberian weather stations that are still off-air I will have to strip them from the record so it's apples with apples again. Watch out for press releases claiming warmer than ever Greenland Temperatures this year.....erm.. only when you stop taking them  Dave  |

The first signs of panic this winter are setting in on our UK National Grid
----------------------------------------They have the been firing up the Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGT's) during peak demand - around 5:45pm during the last week - a cold snap and no wind. Basically they are ground based jet engines connected to a alternator From 2012 http://www.icis.com/resources/news/2012/02/14...-system-feels-the-strain/ See data at http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ We're very nearly all out of spare oomph We'll lose more coal stations this year and, here's hoping, at least Wylfa on the Nuclear front Wylfa is the worlds oldest working nuclear power station based on the start of construction date. Only half working - they shut the other reactor in 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wylfa_Nuclear_Power_Station In the case of this one roll on the end of 2015 Have I mentioned that the lights will go out Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Jan 23, 2015 7:59:55 AM] |
