… go to this site. They are attempting to document the measuring sites used by NASA and other organizations to make sure that they are adhering to the guidelines set up for accurate temperature readings to be made. This is an important aspect of the science of climate change and global warming in general. By documenting the sites, researchers can tell which sites are more reliable than others and possibly be able to figure out corrections for sites that are being affected by their position. This site has already brought to light some really awful measuring areas (on an asphalt parking lot next to air conditioners for example) and with any luck they will be excluded/corrected in any sort of survey. This is good stuff and you can get directly involved with Global warming and climate science!
