cc: "Colam-French Jonathan Mr \(ISD\)" ,"Press Office" date: Wed Jul 29 09:15:04 2009 from: Phil Jones subject: Fwd: Re: Fwd: RE: Station data to: "Palmer Dave Mr \(LIB\)" Dave, Annie, Jonathan, Mike Salmon here has looked through the log of our ftp site. It seems that at least 3 people on July 24 and 25 picked up copies of files we'd put on the CRU site in early 2003 (Feb 24). They were put there for the Hadley Centre to pick up as we couldn't email such large files at that time. I know we should have taken them down. See below for the date someone from Canada did this. This was done between 8 and 9pm UK time on July 25 (Saturday). The other two were from the US on July 24 and much early on July 25. Our entire web site is regularly trawled - every few months by people in eastern Europe (mostly Poland) and Taiwan. Apparently this is quite common. The problem I have now is that the file that was accessed contains data up to the end of 2002. This was for data that went into a publication that appeared in the Journal of Climate in 2003. Since then we've added lots more data. So they have a copy of the data from CRUTEM2. They do not have CRUTEM3. I'll read through your summary of the meeting yesterday - your email Dave from 16.10 yesterday.

Looking at the FTP server logs, two addresses fetched newcru* in that time period: 99.231.2.44 = CPE0050bfe94416-CM00195efb6eb0.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com 209.77.230.64 = ppp-209-77-230-64.dsl.chi2ca.pacbell.net Rogers is a Canadian company, so I assume that's McIntyre [1]http://www.rogers.com/web/Rogers.portal (PacBell is part of AT&T in the US) Looking through other log entries with that address, he's also interested in this file: /projects/advance10k/cruwlda2.zip which, ahem, also contains the LUND data! Shall I move that too? It's been there since 1996. The earliest fetch of the full data from that address was: Sat Jul 25 21:13:01 2009 11 99.231.2.44 2051007 /data/newcruextusall.dat.Z b _ o a mozilla@example.com ftp 0 * c so he "got the data" at 2009-07-25 2013UTC Mike Prof. Phil Jones Climatic Research Unit Telephone +44 (0) 1603 592090 School of Environmental Sciences Fax +44 (0) 1603 507784 University of East Anglia Norwich Email p.jones@uea.ac.uk NR4 7TJ UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
