It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim. As of 7/16/2009, the surfacestations.org project has surveyed 1003 of the 1221 US stations, and the data has been further checked for accuracy. Over 90% of the stations are not in compliance in at least one area, while over 60% are badly out of spec. The worst sites are around 8%. The USHCN in its current condition is a demonstration of how not to measure temperature. http://wattsupwiththat.com/category/weather_stations/ There has been an attempt to discredit (Menne et al 2010) the surfacestations project using an early data set from when only 43% of the stations had been surveyed and had yet to cover most of the rural sites, where compliance with siting guidelines tends to be better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody ( talk • contribs) 11:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Even large installations and important stations have been switching from hand acquired data to automatic weather stations. I couldn't find anything in wikipedia about the nomenclature of their components, but I found this Plate Gill Radiation Shield which to me seems to be the modern equivalent of the old stevenson screen. Since I don't know if this is indeed the correct name I'll leave it to the experts to incorporate something along those lines into the article. -- BjKa ( talk) 11:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Autochthony writes. Does anyone have a first date [year, even] for the use (occasional or widespread) of a Stevenson screen? Autochthony asked - 2012 09 21 2257 Z 109.154.21.249 ( talk) 22:57, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
