************************************************** ***
* USHCN Temperature Record of the Week: Cedarville, CA
*
* To bolster our claim that "There Has Been No Net Global
* Warming for the Past 70 Years," each week we highlight the
* temperature record of one of the 1221 U.S. Historical
* Climatology Network (USHCN) stations from 1930-2000.
*
* This issue's temperature record of the week is from
* Cedarville, California. During the period of most
* significant greenhouse gas buildup over the past century,
* i.e., 1930 and onward, Cedarville's mean annual temperature
* has cooled by 2.13 degrees Fahrenheit. Not much global
* warming here!

Cedarville, CA 41.53N, 120.17W, elevation 4670 feet

Cedarville is a small rural town in the northeastern corner of
California a few miles from Nevada. It's located in a rather
flat valley below some high mountains in the Great Basin desert
area. The mountains rise rapidly to the west, reaching
elevations of 6000 within 2 miles and 9000 foot peaks. About 2
miles to the east is a large natural lake with no outlet.
Another lake is shown in the valley further to the north.

From 1930 until 1957, the time of day of observation was late
afternoon, either sunset, 10 PM, or 6 PM. After 1957, the
station was operated by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and
observations were made at 8 AM. The change in time of day of
observation from late in the day to early morning would tend to
produce a negative bias in the data, which might explain the
cooling noted by the Idsos. Also, the fact that the lake levels
are the result of a balance of inflow and evaporation, the lake
areas would reflect overall precipitation in the mountains on
both sides of the valley. Decadal changes in precipitation
patterns could thus be expected to impact temperatures at the
nearby town.

There is PLENTY of warming in the State of California.
(Just ask any long term resident who has lived outdoors.)
There is no significant trend in Cedarville, however.
