   Phil,
   Many thanks. I'm sure you saw the sidelined passage of mild complaint about the
   confidentiality.
   May I pass this on to my contact at the Academie ( Christain Borde)? I'm sure he'll pass it
   to Courtillot but I imagine you've told him what to do anyway.
   I'm sorry to draw you (back?) into this but Borde mentioned it to me last week. He is to be
   the chairman of our "General Conference of Weights and Measures" next month and I always
   try to be nice to my bosses!
   Andrew

      Andrew,
         My French isn't up to much, but if you go here you can get the gridded
      temperature data we produce in combination with the Hadley Centre.
      [1]http://hadobs.metoffice.com/
      then you click on datasets such as HadCRUT3 or CRUTEM3
      What I think Courtillot wants is our raw station temperature database. We have
      entered into agreements to get this data with many National Met Services
      and also scientists around the world (dating back to the 1980s). We can use the data in
     the gridded
      products (see above) but not make the raw station data available.
      You can get much of the raw data from a web site in the US (NCDC Asheville)
      if you know what you're doing.
      This isn't an issue for almost all climate scientists around the world. They are happy
      with the products we put together.  We've started getting requests from people
      in the last few years asking for the raw station data. We've always not made
      the raw data available.
      As I said - I am assuming this is what he is talking about.
      Cheers
      Phil
