The only problem we have now is interpreting the data in a diagram. The one that the Central Office of Information have done for us is unclear and to simplify it somewhat we were interested in leaving out the North and South data because the presentation COI gave us gave no clear indication when air temperature in the North overshoots the South. As Daniel, the Team leader for the Trade Project suggests below, we are thinking of just including the 'Smooth Globe' info. I attach a file below of what it would probably look like. Would it be possible for you to describe the smoothing process (compared with the raw global data) in a line or two so we could add it to the footnote we intend to have in the Report? The alternative would be to just have the raw global data - do you think this would be better? Would be most grateful if you could get back to us as soon as possible as publication date draws ever nearer. <> Many Thanks for your help, Jonathan. > -----Original Message----- > From: Instone Daniel - PIU - > Sent: 29 August 2000 13:26 > To: Deacon Jonathan - PIU - > Cc: Lankester Olivia - PIU - > Subject: RE: Air Temperature Trends > > > Jonathan: this is great and I am very impressed that you are able to > convert like this. > > We discussed; and agreed we would almost certainly just show in the chart > a global line, not including the south and north lines as too confusing. > This needs to be checked as we need to get that one line right.
