MET OFFICE UNDER SCRUTINY - PART 2

Following on from yesterday's post here is a second misrepresentation of "data" by the UK Met Office. 

 Long term "Historic Data"

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/historic-station-data

The above indicates 37 long term sites quoting monthly  "Data".  Note that 3 sites on the map are coloured blue with the key, indicating these stations have closed. The remainder are coloured orange indicating "open" stations.

 Any reasonable person would therefore assume the orange marked sites were "open" stations as stated.

However, for example, go to Lowestoft and "view data".  Whilst figures run from 1914, all figures from 2010 are marked with an asterisk indicating they are "Estimated" - the station closed in 2010 -  i.e.14 years ago.

What scientific organisation would continue to  "estimate"  figures for over 14 years and counting? What possible scientific purpose could such "estimation" serve?

The Met Office has again declined to advise me either how these estimates are arrived at or why they do so.

The stations at  Nairn Druim, Paisley and Newton Rigg are similarly closed but still reporting "estimated" monthly data. It should also be noted that even those stations marked as closed continued to report  "Estimated" numbers beyond their closure date.

Why would any scientific organisation feel the need to publish what can only genuinely be described as fiction? No scientific purpose can possibly be served by fabrication.
