Tom Phil Jones said the following on 5/15/2009 9:19 AM: Tom, David, John, Here's the first paper to cite it! As we know they didn't realise the significance of Figure 1! I hope you've persuaded Matt Menne to do that USHCN split (into the watts-up-that categories). You could then have a title. Watts-up with this - no differences in US average for stations in different categories Cheers Phil At 14:00 15/05/2009, Parker, David wrote: Tom Thanks. For info, in the near future we plan to have discussions here on possible future developments of the land surface air temperature analyses. We'll let you know in due course of any relevant developments.
