As I move around the states looking at the differences between
the GISS station temperatures, the USHCN homogenized
temperatures and the original raw temperature data (albeit
modified by a correction for the Time of Observation (TOBS), we
have returned to Kansas, which I had originally written about
before the TOBS data became available, and then written again
looking at that data. Since then the style of the presentations
has changed a little bit, so I am going to redo the Kansas post,
and just put the combined temperature reference into the list
down the right side of the site, so as to bring it (and later
some of the other states) into the same format as I have now
evolved. So to begin , Kansas has 31 USHCN stations, that are
reasonably evenly distributed around the state: USHCN station
locations in Kansas (USHCN) Back when I did the initial TOBS
data analysis I was still sufficiently naïve that I did not
realize how, by manipulation of the station picks, GISS could
manipulate the temperatures that it repo
