I was talking to Lonnie Smith a couple of weeks ago and he said that McIntyre is insisting on access to all of his ice cores. Not the raw data, mind you. BTW, the Science paper doesn't use your data. It is on El Nino changes and the influence on TCs in the NATL. We are particularly interested in the late 1930-40 bump and phase differences between land and sea. Looking at total atmospheric heating over ocean and land we had noted that the anomalies were out of phase with a time scale in the oscillation of about 8 years. Whther or not we can tease out the physics of such an oscillation or if it is a statistical artifcat remains to be seen.
