date: Fri Jun 8 18:25:19 2007 from: Tim Osborn subject: Re: MXD data to: "Scott Rutherford" Hi Scott -- reference got rejected and I've not had the heart to re-submit it (so far), even though most complaints weren't criticising the method we used to construct the data set (which therefore remain valid I think) but more related to the presentation. However you could link here to the data list [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~timo/datapages/mxdtrw.htm with the sites used being those listed under the Rutherford et al. (2005) item on that page. From the page there is a link to the ITRDB where the data series themselves can (mostly) be downloaded. Obviously the gridded version that you are actually using, while described on this page, cannot currently be downloaded from it -- thought the series could be got from ITRDB and then the method described on this page could be used to recreate the gridded data. Does that sound good enough? If not and you think the gridded MXD data themselves need to be available then let me know and I'll see what I can do. Hope all's well with you. I'm just finishing a hectic week of undergraduate exam paper marking -- 97 scripts, so far 70 are marked!

I wanted to check again on the MXD data that we have been using and are using again in the current reconstructions (manuscript in progress). Are the data now public? If so is there a reference? If not how do you want to handle things? Do you want to be a co-author or should we just list you as the contact for the data?
