I wouldn't add anything else, as problems with Huang et al (2000) are discussed in the 2003/4 papers we do reference. Cheers Phil At 22:20 13/09/2004, Gabi Hegerl wrote: Peter Stott asked if we should refer to Huang 2004. I now added the reference Recently studies (see Mann et al. 2003, Pollack and Smerdon 2004, and Rutherford and Mann 2004; Huang 2004) suggest that if the borehole records are recalibrated with instrumental data over the 20th century, they can be shown to support the conventional proxy view of the millennium. is that correct? Also, should we refer to it somewhere in that sentence An additional part of the discrepancy is due to the method used for signal processing by Huang et al. (2000).
