Scole DCNN 3071 – Experimental proof of the afterlife…..of a weather station.

52.36501 1.15791 Never CIMO Assessed Born 1/1/1971 Deceased 31/7/1980

The Scole weather station was originally installed in 1971 and located near a former sewage works on the outskirts of the small Norfolk village it bears the name of and just two miles to the west of Diss. It had a short and uneventful life of just over nine and a half years before passing away in the summer of 1980. Where old Stevenson screens go to after their useful life has expired is usually not recorded, but some of their readings – notably Scone – seem to acquire an afterlife that is regularly brought back into use experimentally.

To recap on my earlier research regarding non-existent weather stations, I reported details with emphasis on Dungeness and the 103 Missing Met Stations Mystery. At the time the Met Office website listed “Climate Average Stations” giving exact site coordinates, elevation and observing site descriptions. I queried the veracity of some of these sites uncovering that a third of them no longer exist. Further questioning under FOI revealed that the Met Office “did not hold information” on how they actually compiled this data for specific non-existent sites such as Folkestone and Dover. A very lengthy reference was supplied to the “peer reviewed” mathematical conjuring tricks used to compile these averages but these were obviously irrelevant given the Met Office’s inability to provide the exact data on which they were based when questioned.

Unannounced the Met Office conveniently wiped out their previous climate averages site, replacing it with “Location-Specific, Long Term Averages” carefully omitting all “location-specification” indicators and thus rewriting their own history. This was then followed by a somewhat inept attempt at a “fact check” by a Meta (plus others) sponsored organisation aimed at censorship of inconvenient facts. This ultimately resulted in the Met Office being awarded the 2024 DINO prize for Fake News. (view from 15:50 in)

The Met office defence for continuing to report data for defunct sites was quoted as:

“To suggest we’re fabricating data is not true. Everything we do at the Met Office is based on peer reviewed science and subject to external scrutiny. To ensure we [the Met Office] maintain continuity of long-term datasets we use peer reviewed science methods that, where stations have closed, use well-correlated observations from other nearby stations to help inform long-term average figures […] This method is peer reviewed and similar processes are used across the world to ensure datasets are consistent across historic averaging periods. The paper explaining the methodology can be found here [link]” 

The Location Specific website page also adds caveats such as “Where stations are currently closed in this dataset, well-correlated observations from other nearby stations are used to help inform latest long-term average figures in order to preserve the long-term usability of the data. Similar peer-reviewed scientific methods are used by meteorological organisations around the world to maintain the continuity of long-term datasets. “

How does all this relate to the Scole site?

The location specific page displays 30 year temperature averages from 1960 to 2020 and ongoing. Rather similar to Stornoway and aviation, the Met Office seems remarkably prescient – Scole was not installed until 1970 – on what basis are figures prior to its genesis based? Why was such a short lived obscure village weather station granted such longevity in the records and virtually none of the others elsewhere? Who, other than the Met Office had any input to this covert process?

The Met Office goes on to emphasize the importance of maintaining long term site data but Scole did not even survive ten years. Of the 60 year period the site operated for less than a sixth which begs the question of how any other sites can be deemed “well – correlated” with it over such a short unrepresentative period. Climate is conventionally measured over 30 year periods hence nine and a half years cannot qualify as “well correlated” by any definition.

Is the Met Office and indeed much of “Climate Science” in general actually operating in a genuinely scientific way or are they covertly manipulating data for the benefit of producing data to fit a theory. This compares very well to the “other” Scole evidence provided by the “Scole Experiment”.

As described above, a small cabal conducted “experiments” (in Scole) entirely under their control with highly restricted access to operating conditions.

“the Scole Experiment lacked many of the standard controls necessary for scientific investigation. The group performed their séances in a private home rather than a controlled laboratory, and there was no way to rule out the possibility of trickery. The mediums were able to choose their own séance room and control who was allowed to attend the sessions. This made it difficult for outside researchers to verify the authenticity of the phenomena.”

In order to compile my research and station reviews, I have so far had to resort to 11 Freedom of Information requests as so much basic data is not deemed fit for general publication. Bizarrely it is possible to view online coordinates for every UK weather station, archived data and lots of site information. However, such basics as the World Meteorological Organisation/International Standards Organisation classification system per site is a closely guarded secret. Would the ISO requirement for car exhaust emissions or road safety be so undisclosed? I am confident that had I not questioned the veracity of “Climate Averages” data, then that site would never have been changed.

In summary the Met Office seems to be operating much of their data in the same way as at Scole using the operating principles of the other “Scole Experiment” for guidance. Only a select few are favoured into their operating club with the mirage of transparancy blocked behind a veil of secrecy.
