    Dear Qingxiang,
        Thanks for the quick responses.
    I will send a revised version later today.
    With 243 stations needing adjustments, and 728 used, I presume
    the other 485 were considered to be OK without adjustment.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear Phil,
     I just give you some quick answers in your email.
     Best regards
     Qingxiang
     Dear Qingxiang,
           See also the earlier question below. I realise that I didn't send
      this to your other email address so apologies
     for that. So there are now 3 questions!
         1. Will you need to get approval of CMA for
     me to submit this to a journal?
       I could send the paper to Guoyu Ren, for example?
     \\No. I donot need any approval of CMA for submitting this manuscript.\\
         2. David Lister has redrawn Figure 4 to be
     like the other time series plots.
      For Figure 5, though, we are using your excel plot directly. The question
      is how many station adjustments is the histogram based upon?
     \\Of all the 731 stations, 243 series were adjusted. and Figure 5 covered all the 243
     stations adjustments.\\
       3. In the text I now refer to Li and Li (2007) as the source for the
      700+ station average series. Can you tell me exactly how many stations
      there were? Knowing this will stop reviewers asking for the exact number.
     \\the exact number is 728, 3 stations series is not used because there are too much
     missing values in the series.\\
       It is possible that the answers to both questions 2 and 3 will be the same
      number.  I think though that the answer to Q2 will be a smaller number
      than Q3, as there must have been some stations
     that were not adjusted, so these
      were not included in the histogram!
      4. Finally I have added in the Li and Li reference. I presume this is in
      Chinese. I think you've told me this. I just want to confirm?
     \\Yes.\\
       I will write an abstract and conclusions this weekend and then send around
     (and to you as well) for some quick comments from a few colleagues in
      the UK and the USA.
      Cheers
      Phil
