re: #420 Obdicut

Walter, please read the damn article that actually did the analysis of what CRU produced vs the raw data.

It is an analysis of the data from 1850 to 2000, analyzing CRUTEM3v. The methodology is explained.

[Link: www.realclimate.org…]

This statement is misleading “There is no indication whatsoever of any problem with the CRU data.”

CRU produces a whole suite of data bases. CRUTEM is one of many. My discussion was in regards to CRU TS 3.0 which Harris was tasked with to create a new version by Dec. 2009.

Except for the fact that the CRU Time Slice data base feed some data to CRUTEM, it’s not the same data base.

I have not done any research on CRUTEM.

See my essay above.

How about we talk about the project that Ian was working on, the project that is the body of my essay.

You are deflecting to another subject.
