Acknowledgments
The paper’s findings are based on the data collected at the Barrow
Atmospheric Observatory. I thank the Earth System Research Laboratory
(ESRL), Global Monitoring Division
(GMD), of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for
supporting the operations of this observatory. I am also grateful to
NOAA’s National Weather Service and National Centers for Environmental
Information for their stewardship of the PABR temperature data. The unit
root conclusions rely partly on the hourly temperature data reported by
the Syowa observatory in Antarctica. I am thankful to the National
Institute of Polar Research in Japan for supporting the operations of
this observatory. I am also grateful for NASA’s CERES/ARM Validation
Experiment (CAVE) stewardship of the data from this observatory. Earlier
versions of this paper were presented at the ESIPP/UCD weekly seminar
and the ESRI/UCD policy conference. I thank the participants for their
feedback. The research was also presented as an e-poster at the 2020 AGU
Fall meetings in a session entitled, “Convergence Research in Climate
Science: How to Move Beyond Disciplinary Silos.” I thank the
participants of that session for their comments. I thank Jeffery
Wooldridge, Nick Cox, and Maarten Buis for sharing their econometric
insights. I thank Rick Thoman for sharing his meteorological insights. I
also thank Chris St. Cyr and Dina Tady for their candid comments on an
earlier draft. Any errors are the full responsibility of the author.
