Changes made: Figure 1: In panel A, I've added some space to separate the UAH and RSS trends from the tick marks on the right hand side of the plot, as per Leo's request. Figure 2: As Peter suggested, I've converted the Figure from one to two panels. I agree that this is an improvement. The original Figure was fairly "busy". Furthermore, the colored symbols (which denote results for the "between realization" trend tests) bore no relationship to the "Frequency of occurrence" scale on the y-axis. This is now clear from panel B. Figure 3: As Mike suggested, I've removed the legend from the interior of the Figure (it's now below the Figure), and have added arrows to indicate the theoretically-expected rejection rates for 5%, 10%, and 20% tests. As Dian suggested, I've changed the colors and thicknesses of the lines indicating results for the "paired trends". Visually, attention is now drawn to the results we think are most reasonable - the results for the paired trend tests with standard errors adjusted for temporal autocorrelation effects. Please let me know if you would like me to make any other changes. With best regards, Ben ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin D.
