Yes, the other reviews are back. Tom has, or so he says, responded to all but the one on UHI that I agreed to do just before I left. We are, however, reconsidering our approach to the buoy correction as Dick wants to use a different approach since his further assessment has indicated the current one isn't as robust as Tom thought.
