About Tim
My name is Tim Channon, live in southern England. Today I am in my 60s, a lot of life and experience has flowed past.
My background is very wide and varied, one of those people who just do things, if you don’t know, find out which is all part of lifelong learning. Life ought to be fun and technical things most of all.
Tallbloke needed helping out, we seem to get on well enough and I have plenty to give so he can get some breathing space for a life. I’m trying to keep the flavour of his site.

Looks like you know spectral DBs . I’m looking for feedback on my http://cosy.com/Science/ColoredBalls.html .
There are contributors here who are far more into the contentious world of radiative surface physics. Looks like a good one for an article here when things are less busy, get more eyes on the problem.
Suggestion: radiation plots ought to be done log:log scale, straight lines will appear.
I’ll have another look when I need a rest.
I liked Tallbloke’s pictures of sailing ships, and noted the HMS Trincomalee. When I lived in the Seattle area, we used to take our boat up to British Columbia and our route took us through Trincomalee Passage. Named after the ship?

I was a cadet on TS Foudroyant (HMS Trincomalee) in 1959 when moored in Portsmouth Harbour. Have followed the Old Lady ever since. Saw her before the refit in Jackson Dock. Have a large piece of timber plus ship’s nail recovered from that time.
Just found this site. Very interesting. I’ve looked at many climate time series for years, and have done a great deal of work on CET, so this caught my eye. Would like to contact someone (Tim?) to learn a bit more about whether Hurst rescaling is often used on climate data. I’ve made literally thousands of cusum plots but never formally analyses my conclusions – one of which is that temperatures – such as CET or North Altlantic area temperatures – are predictable in the long term. Substantial step changes seem to abound. Have you any comments?
