Nightlights in China
Update: Some are not aware that GISS has switched to using Nightlights in the ROW. According to their updates they have moved to nightlights for the ROW. The station inventories can be found here The station I examine below is listed like this in the new giss inventory 20551495001 TURPAN 42.92 91.00 24 384R -9MVDEno-9x-9HOT

Mapping BioStar users onto the world map
Neil is my new bioinformatics hero! (Sorry Pierre :)BioStar is a Q&A website for bioinformatics, just like the Blue Obelisk eXchange. Neil and Pierre have an ongoing struggle to gain the most karma, requiring Pierre to put in a formal complaint aga...
BioStar users (of the world, unite)
Egon writes: Can someone please plot the BioStar users on a Google Map? Sounds like a challenge. Let’s go. 1. Harvesting user IP addresses BioStar user profiles (here’s mine) include a location field. It’s free text and optional, which means that location is missing or inaccurate for many users. However, if you’re logged into BioStar 
Nightlights
Those who follow the discussions about UHI understand that “nightlights” plays a large role in defining whether or not a station is considered Rural or Urban. In the work of GISS nightlights are determined by looking at the DSMP product. The product is available in 30 arcsecond format. That’s .00833 degrees. The following issue arises. 
V3 Station mash up
Hmm, lets see how a fusion table works with map maker. The process works like this. We read in the GHCN inventory file into R. ( see code below ) We then clean it up ( the names fields and missing values) and we output it to a *csv file. Then open the csv in 
ICOADS
Just a short update on ICOADS. I started out an ICOADS project with grand plan to reprocess the observation files into a “raster” format. That ends up being a really big job. Along the way I had to learn a new package Rcurl and relearn some old Unix skills for compiling RCurl. Along the way 
Plotting time vs date in R
Having done the plot with python+matplotlib, thought I would have a go reproducing it in R, using only the builtin "plot". So, just to recap - this is a plot of the sun times (rise/set,twilight and blinding) as generated by the great python library pyephem. The R code reads in a csv file as output from a...
