I personally am not a big fan of the Jones and Mann SH recon. It is based on so little. On the other hand, it is in the literature. So, I leave it up to you and Keith to decide - perhaps Eystein can weigh in too. I do, however, think it would be really helpful to included the borehole data (see prev. emails) - either as a single SH curve, or (probably better) two regional curves (Australia and S. Africa). Is there a reason this is not a good idea? Can't complain about snow bias down there... Thanks again - I look forward to seeing the next draft and figure - complete w/ borehole I hope. thx, Peck >Hi Keith, > >Please, find attached my last version of the SH temp.
