Temperature trends over 1979-2008 in the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (HCN) are compared with those in six recent atmospheric reanalyses. For the conterminous United States, the trend in the adjusted HCN (0.327 degrees C dec(-1)) is generally comparable to the ensemble mean of the reanalyses (0.342 degrees C dec(-1)). It is also well within the range of the reanalysis trend estimates (0.280 to 0.437 degrees C dec(-1)). The bias adjustments play a critical role, as the raw HCN dataset displays substantially less warming than all of the reanalyses. HCN has slightly lower maximum and minimum temperature trends than those reanalyses with hourly temporal resolution, suggesting the HCN adjustments may not fully compensate for recent non-climatic artifacts at some stations. Spatially, both the adjusted HCN and all of the reanalyses indicate widespread warming across the nation during the study period. Overall, the adjusted HCN is in broad agreement with the suite of reanalyses. Citation: Vose, R. S., S. Applequist, M. J. Menne, C. N. Williams Jr., and P.
