re: #408 windsagio

I understand that, but I just don’t see where the problems he found came out.

What about Obdi’s 352? That would imply that whatever he found was fixed well before any results were published.

Everything else aside, it was an interesting read, but far short of proving CRU 3.0 wrong.

I don’t have to prove anything. Harris clearly makes the statements that the master database, the one that he was handed to work with from 2006 onward was faulty…

“So.. should I really go to town (again) and allow the Master database to be ‘fixed’ by this program? Quite honestly I don’t have time - but it just shows the state our data holdings have drifted into. Who added those two series together? When? Why? Untraceable, except anecdotally. It’s the same story for many other Russian stations, unfortunately - meaning that (probably) there was a full Russian update that did no data integrity checking at all. I just hope it’s restricted to Russia!!”
