NCDC doesn't actually avoid using urban stations. But I'm assuming David is accurate about your data set. That is that you have stations from urban locations that you don't include in HadCRU. Is that accurate? Thanks. Regards, Tom -- Thomas C. Peterson, Ph.D. NOAA's National Climatic Data Center 151 Patton Avenue Asheville, NC 28801 Voice: +1-828-271-4287 Fax: +1-828-271-4876
