This research considers the mean squared error (MSE) incurred in estimating an idealized earth`s global average temperature with a finite network of point gauges distributed optimally over the globe. The construction of a linear smoothing filter is considered for estimating the forced part of a change in a climatological field such as the surface temperature. The filter is optimal in the sense that is suppresses the natural variability of noise relative to the forced part or signal to the maximum extent possible
