I would therefore v much appreciate if you could send me just your real long time series - torntrask, yaml, ural region, sierras, etc -- just those going back only beyond AD 1300 unless I am mistaken this is still only a very small subset of data that is out there, so I am hoping that if this is possible my future reconstructions will be a lot easier for intercomparisons. thanks v much for any help on this -- if its too much of a hassle I got dig somewhere else and I certainly won't be disappointed/offended/etc if you ask me to do that. all the best, tom -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
