date: Thu May 5 17:15:56 2005 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: Atlantic SST 10-20N to: Kevin Trenberth Kevin, David's plot for this zone looks a little different from yours in the ppt for the last day. It isn't just the different level of smoothing - some of the peak years are 0.2 to 0.3 different. Also some difference between Fig 3.2.4e for north of 35N, but here yours stops at 65N, whereas David's goes to the sea-ice edge (or as far north as the data allow). I didn't realise HadISST was so different from Rayner et al (2005). I have a draft of the latter. It will get submitted by end of May. It is another epic.
