re: #323 Walter L. Newton

…, when I was speaking of the CRU programs and datasets, I have been talking about live legacy programs, program suites designed to model climate data (including some of the charts you have seen in papers and reports) and talking about some of the “holes” in the data..

If I understand your effort correctly, you are looking at the code that compiles the temperature record sets into the graphs, from Hadley, of the instrumental temperature reconstruction.

If so, then I should point out that these programs are different than the large coupled climate models used to investigate the interaction of the various physical systems that compose Earth’s climate, which are then used to show projections for various scenarios of the future.
