UEA is having trouble with emails and I only got the response file from Kate. I'm at the IPCC meeting in Venice. Someone presented the RH decline - as I gave him a slide. Kevin didn't object to what was said! Resposnes seem fine. I think a useful additional paper might be a comparison of mean (i.e. absolute T) between CRUTEM3 and ERA-INTERIM. It will likely throw up a whole new cans of worms, so what you say is fine. I'd like to look at absolute T at some point, but I would have to remind myself how we developed the absolute climatology from the mid-1990s. I've yet to look at the revised paper. Cheers Phil PS - if you get this Kate, can you forward to Adrian. I think UEA is on some blacklist. All UEA users will be changing their passwords over the next few days, so our email system should be better in a week or so. > Hi Adrian (and everyone else), I've just gone through the review and I am > very happy with your responses.
