    I'm pretty familiar with how it all works. I try to stay current with the latest research as well. Just clarify...I'm not saying we can construct a complete temperature field from no actual observations. I'm saying we can construct the field from no actual temperature observations. In fact, we can construct a complete temperature field from nothing but wind speeds. Though to be fair the RMS error on a temperature field derived in that manner would be much higher than what is typically obtainable (but much lower than what you might naively think). In reality we have a lot of actual temperature measurements to assimilate among the approximately 10 million total observations that go into a complete analysis. The RMS error on 1000 mb (near surface) temperature fields is typically on the order of 0.1C.

    I should start putting coffee aside before opening such claims.

    Well, it was orange juice this time.

    No doubt you can construct anything from anything.

    This is what the overwhelming majorities of the scientific community do.

    The point is that their constructions have nothing to do to the observed reality.

    It seems you are vesting it all in pushing some political or personal agenda.

    Look at the reality.

    It is beatifull.

    Totally untrue. Multiple institutions construct complete states of atmosphere multiple times per day using independently developed techniques using different inputs and yet they all come up with basically the same result. Why don't you just download a few of the datasets and see for yourself?
