Which data base? Which one… CRUTEM, HADCRUT3, CRU TS 3.0, the NCEP/NCAR from Noaa? All these table relied on each other in some way or another.

Did you read my addendum. Harry fixed another data base that was in the hands of scientist and was faulty.

You have to give Ian “Harry” Harris a lot of credit. Evidently he has been responsible for cleaning up a lot of the mistakes that have existed in climate based datasets in the past. This little narrative represents some of his work with NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis. (National Centers for Environmental Prediction – NOAA - http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/)
