Only 2 shades of red/blue are evident on the 79-03 sfc plot - the scale being determined by the seasonal plots. Phil At 16:27 03/06/2005, David Easterling wrote: Phil, Using the 1979-2003 sfc temp plotting scheme with the Fu data would result in only two shades of red and two of blue since the sfc temp range is about -1.5 to +1.5 and the Fu range is only -0.4 to +0.5 C/decade, unless this is what you want to show. Dave Phil Jones wrote: Dave, The one thing I would change with this is to use the same scale we used for the 1979-2003 Annual surface trends, so they can be easily compared. I think this is what we agreed in the exchanges Dennis last week. The white and grey are fine and the rivers have gone !

(2004). Minor lakes and rivers have been eliminated. National boundaries have been made gray. Small trends near 0.0 have been made white. I don't know if these grids that I have been plotting are "pixel" or "grid" registered ... this only makes a small difference in plotting by say half a grid box. This can be double checked in the future, and is probably not that critical. - Byron -- David R.
