There are some wrinkles that you and Tim don't seem to have thought of. Tom. Tom One further thing (possibly one of the extra wrinkles?) is that while you could put the S Pole data from CRUTEM2 (where it seems correct) into HadCRUT2, it isn't quite correct to put it (as I wrongly suggested) into CRUTEM2v and HadCRUT2v because those should have their high frequency deviations scaled to remove sample-size-related biases. Only a minor difference. Tim
