      Gavin, Mike,

       1. This email came to CRU last night.

   Subject: Farmer et al 1989
   Dear Sir, Can you please send me a pdf of the Farmer et al 1989, cited in Folland andPArker
   1995, which, in turn is cited in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Thanks, Steve McIntyre

     CRU has just the one copy of this!  We've just got a new scanner for a project, so
   someone here
    is going to try this out - and scan the ~150pp. I'm doing this as this is one of the
   project
    reports that I wished I'd written up. It's got all the bucket equations, assessments of
    the accuracy of the various estimates for the parameters that have to be made. It also
    includes discussion of the shapes (seasonal cycles) of the residual seasonal cycles you
    get from different types of buckets prior to WW2 relative to intakes. It also includes a
   factor
    they haven't considered at all yet - ship speed and its changes over time. This turns out
    to important. It has a lot more than Folland and Parker (1995). Doubt it will shut them up
   for
    long - but it will justify your faith in those doing the SST work that we have considered
   everything
    we could think of. We'll also put it up on our web site at the same time.
       2. Reviews of the Holocene epic.
    Got this today - so a journal still working by post!  Here is Henry's review.
    Possibly the other two might involve hand-written comments on hard copies.
    Will get these scanned when they arrive and send around if necessary.
    Dear Phil
   I have today posted two referees' reports to you and the verdict of
   accepted subject to taking account of referees' comments.  These two
   reports do not include the report of Henry Diaz which has just been sent
   to you directly.  Please take his comments into account too.
