Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
Temperature records from urban stations are simply discarded in global analyses.
Answer: C
Correct answer: False
Urban stations are retained and adjusted rather than discarded, since throwing them away would lose a large part of the record and much of its geographical coverage. Homogenisation compares each station with its rural neighbours and corrects for step changes from moves, instrument changes and urban growth. Analyses restricted to rural stations alone give closely similar global trends, which is the usual check that the adjustment works.
