I take it this is addressed to others
than myself, for I am calm.

I am merely looking for background and underlying
reason as to why the data from various parts of
the world shows anomolies, is sometimes missing for
weeks on end, etc.

I don't know if everyone is aware, but LARGE amounts
of temperature data from around the world is taken
by civil personnel whose main responsibilities are
NOT in the field of meterology. Some of these persons
can be hotel operators and post office employees (like
otherwise this data just magically appears in the
databases?)

Is anyone here familiar with the process by which this
data has been manually collected, massaged and archived
over the years?

Thanks.

RF Jim
