Gavin, Mike,
1. This email came to CRU last night.

Subject: Farmer et al 1989
Dear Sir, Can you please send me a pdf of the Farmer et al 1989, cited in Folland andPArker
1995, which, in turn is cited in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Thanks, Steve McIntyre
Farmer, G., Wigley, T. M. L., Jones, P. D. and Salmon, M., 1989 'Documenting and explaining
recent global-mean temperature changes'. Climatic Research Unit, Norwich, Final Report to
NERC, UK, Contract GR3/6565 (unpublished)
CRU has just the one copy of this! We've just got a new scanner for a project, so
someone here
is going to try this out - and scan the ~150pp. I'm doing this as this is one of the
project
reports that I wished I'd written up. It's got all the bucket equations, assessments of
the accuracy of the various estimates for the parameters that have to be made. It also
includes discussion of the shapes (seasonal cycles) of the residual seasonal cycles you
get from different types of buckets prior to WW2 relative to intakes. It also includes a
factor
they haven't considered at all yet - ship speed and its changes over time. This turns out
to important. It has a lot more than Folland and Parker (1995). Doubt it will shut them up
for
long - but it will justify your faith in those doing the SST work that we have considered
everything
we could think of. We'll also put it up on our web site at the same time.
2. Reviews of the Holocene epic.
Got this today - so a journal still working by post! Here is Henry's review.
Possibly the other two might involve hand-written comments on hard copies.
Will get these scanned when they arrive and send around if necessary.
Dear Phil
I have today posted two referees' reports to you and the verdict of
accepted subject to taking account of referees' comments. These two
reports do not include the report of Henry Diaz which has just been sent
to you directly. Please take his comments into account too.
