re: #906 LudwigVanQuixote

NO Walter I am saying that there are many much more sophisicated models. As to the grid sizes, since that is what you were referring to, you are wrong. Hadcrut 3 is much better than that. Now I asked you to be specific. Are you talking about the code for one of the models or about the data set?

The dataset itself.

And… as new, updated temperature data was inserted in the 5 degrees by 5 degrees grid for any certain month/year of the Hadcrut3 database, did they…

1) Keep records of what the last temperature was.
2) Keep records of the actual location of where the temperature was recorded.

The 5 degree by 5 degree grids that divided the planet in the Hadcrut3 dataset are about the size of Nevada. It is very important to know the actual location, the source and the time/date of the temperature reading.

Do they have that information for all the grids, for all the months, for all the years from 1850 until 1999?
