When confronted with an obviously broken weather station that was reading way too hot, they replaced the faulty sensor — but refused to adjust the bad readings it had already taken. And when dealing with the pause in global surface temperatures that is in its 19th year, the agency threw away satellite- sensed sea-surface temperatures, substituting questionable data that showed no pause. The latest kerfuffle is local, not global, but happens to involve probably the most politically important weather station in the nation, the one at Washington's Reagan National Airport. I'll take credit for this one. I casually noticed that the monthly average temperatures at National were departing from their 1981-2010 averages a couple of degrees relative to those at Dulles — in the warm direction. Temperatures at National are almost always higher than those at Dulles, 19 miles away. That's because of the well-known urban warming effect, as well as an elevation difference of 300 feet. But the weather systems that determine monthly average temperature are, in general, far too large for there to be any significant difference in the *departure from average* at two stations as close together as Reagan and Dulles. Monthly data from recent decades bear this out — until, all at once, in January 2014 and every month thereafter, the departure from average at National was greater than that at Dulles. The average monthly difference for January 2014 through July 2015 is 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit, which is huge when talking about things like record temperatures. For example, National's all-time record last May was only 0.2 degrees above the previous record. Earlier this month, I sent my findings to Jason Samenow, a terrific forecaster who runs the *Washington Post*'s weather blog, Capital Weather Gang. He and his crew verified what I found and wrote up their version, giving due credit and adding other evidence that something was very wrong at National. And, in remarkably quick action for a government agency, the National Weather Service swapped out the sensor within a week and found that the old one was reading 1.7 degrees too high. Close enough to 2.1, the observed difference. But the National Weather Service told the Capital Weather Gang that there will be no corrections, despite the fact that the disparity suddenly began 19 months ago and varied little once it began. It said correcting for the error wouldn't be scientifically defensible. Therefore, people can and will cite the May record as evidence for dreaded global warming with impunity. Only a few weather nerds will know the truth. Over a third of this year's 37 90-degree-plus days, which gives us a remote chance of breaking the all time record, should also be eliminated, putting this summer rightly back into normal territory.

Is it the craftsmanship or materials that changed for post-1955 clarinets? Country of manufacture? Automation vs. hands on manufacturing process? Metric vs. English? ;) As I just mentioned, the design was changed to no longer be purely cylindrical. Nothing else changed. All are (were) handmade in France, from the finest wood available. The base instrument was invented in France, in 1630, which puts it over a century before the introduction of the metric system; your guess is as good as mine regarding the units of the dimensions! I have heard one opinion that the _sound_ of the older ones is better, but the _intonation_ of the newer ones is better. Translation: easier to play in tune.

1968 saw the introduction of the new sedans -- ball joints and double joint rear axles instead of the 1952 king pin front end and swing axles in the back (and they DO jack, just like a Corvair, but they don't flip the car over. Included were anti-dive front end geometry and greatly reduce front pivot axis offset. Greatly improved handling -- I have had both styles and greatly prefer the new one. Only real difficulty is that it's possible to force the outside front tire off the rim in extreme cornering, a habit cured by a lighter rear anti-sway bar the rear in the W123 and W116 chassis. 1968 was also the introduction year for electronic fuel injection, a vast improvement over the mechanical and carbs.

When confronted with an obviously broken weather station that was reading way too hot, they replaced the faulty sensor — but refused to adjust the bad readings it had already taken. And when dealing with the pause in global surface temperatures that is in its 19th year, the agency threw away satellite-sensed sea-surface temperatures, substituting questionable data that showed no pause. The latest kerfuffle is local, not global, but happens to involve probably the most politically important weather station in the nation, the one at Washington's Reagan National Airport. I'll take credit for this one. I casually noticed that the monthly average temperatures at National were departing from their 1981-2010 averages a couple of degrees relative to those at Dulles — in the warm direction. Temperatures at National are almost always higher than those at Dulles, 19 miles away. That's because of the well-known urban warming effect, as well as an elevation difference of 300 feet. But the weather systems that determine monthly average temperature are, in general, far too large for there to be any significant difference in the *departure from average* at two stations as close together as Reagan and Dulles. Monthly data from recent decades bear this out — until, all at once, in January 2014 and every month thereafter, the departure from average at National was greater than that at Dulles. The average monthly difference for January 2014 through July 2015 is 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit, which is huge when talking about things like record temperatures. For example, National's all-time record last May was only 0.2 degrees above the previous record. Earlier this month, I sent my findings to Jason Samenow, a terrific forecaster who runs the *Washington Post*'s weather blog, Capital Weather Gang. He and his crew verified what I found and wrote up their version, giving due credit and adding other evidence that something was very wrong at National. And, in remarkably quick action for a government agency, the National Weather Service swapped out the sensor within a week and found that the old one was reading 1.7 degrees too high. Close enough to 2.1, the observed difference. But the National Weather Service told the Capital Weather Gang that there will be no corrections, despite the fact that the disparity suddenly began 19 months ago and varied little once it began. It said correcting for the error wouldn't be scientifically defensible. Therefore, people can and will cite the May record as evidence for dreaded global warming with impunity. Only a few weather nerds will know the truth. Over a third of this year's 37 90-degree-plus days, which gives us a remote chance of breaking the all time record, should also be eliminated, putting this summer rightly back into normal territory. It is really politically unwise not to do a simple adjustment on these obviously-too-hot data. With all of the claims that federal science is being biased in service of the president's global-warming agenda, the agency should bend over backwards to expunge erroneous record-high readings. In July, by contrast, NOAA had no problem adjusting the global temperature history. In that case, the method they used *guaranteed* that a growing warming trend would substitute for the pause. They reported in *Science *that they had replaced the pause (which shows up in every analysis of satellite and weather balloon data) with a significant warming trend. Normative science says a trend is statistically significant if there's less than a 5 percent probability that it would happen by chance. NOAA claimed significance at the 10 percent level, something no graduate student could ever get away with. There were several other major problems with the paper. As Judy Curry, a noted climate scientist at Georgia Tech, wrote, color me 'unconvinced.'
