THE WASHINGTON POST reports :
Capital Weather Gang’s Angela Fritz reports that when NOAA was working on its monthly climate report, the agency noticed data from one of its key climate monitoring stations was missing.
The temperature in Barrow, Alasla, the northernmost city in the United States, was “warming so fast this year, the data was automatically flagged as unreal and removed from the climate database. It was done by algorithms that were put in place to ensure that only the best data gets included in NOAA’s reports."

Since 2000, the average October temperature in Barrow jumped 7.8 degrees.
For November, it increased 6.9 degrees and for December, it had gone up 4.7 degrees.
Scientists are coming up with a new algorithm to prevent legitimate temperature spikes from getting kicked out of the data sets.
