The title of this post might seem like a truism, but for about a decade some people have claimed the opposite, and many people have spent much time and effort trying to understand why. Much of that ef...
can you recommend any studies of why outliers and extreme meteorological values are more likely to be errors than more typical readings? (e.g. transposed digits, misreadings, improper setup, instrument failure, (rare) fabricated values, etc.)
Interesting! Makes me ponder that much of the difficulty in the cold is when cold turns wet, slushy, soft, erratic, and swings between freeze and thaw. Less cold could also mean more problematic. Cold: can travel Slush = stuck (if case someone was trying to have a good-news morning... Sorry.)
