    Mike and Scott,
        If the figures below don't come out, they are McIntyre's versions of the series in the
    W. N. American panel of Fig 4 of the RoG article and then ours (which he must have got
    from a pdf). Just told him that the reason your MBH (back 200) differs is that we've
    renormalised each series over 1751-1950. This look as though it will work.

         In the light of his email I've just produced files for Figs 4, 6 and 7. I'm off
   tomorrow -
    basically until May 28. When I get back I'd like to add the Fig 3, 5 and 8 data and put
    it all on the CRU web site.
       I emailed Caspar, Hans and Tas to make sure all agree. Only Tas wanted his series
    not to be there, so I've removed it and put his web page there instead. Attached a
    couple of the files to show you what I've done.  I'll remove the strings of missing data
   from
    some of the files where I can do this. I just printed the files from the plotting program
    to give smoothed and unsmoothed (but after any manipulation as in Figs 4, 6 and 7)
    series from 1 to 2000/1. I suggest for Fig 8 you do something similar - just give anoms
    and smoothed anoms (i.e all wrt 1961-90).
       I'll put up some text on the web site to say read the paper for anything else !
    Cheers
    Phil

      Dear Phil,
     I have read your very interesting article in Review of Geophysics and was hoping that
     you would be able to assist me in interpreting the top panel of Figure 4. I produced the
     figure below (smoothed with a 50 year gaussian filter ends padded with mean values).
     (I'm not concerned for now with end-effects of padding)  For the MBH North American PC1,
     I used the data at
     <[1]ftp://holocene.evsc.virginia.edu/pub/MBH98/TREE/ITRDB/NOAMER/BACKTO_500/pc01.out">.
     The FTP site does not have a directory for BACKTO_200, but Mann and Jones (2003) said
     that the PC1 was similar in the overlap period to the AD1000 PC1 so the same undoubtedly
     applies a fortiori to the AD500 PC1. While the exercise successfully reproduced the
     Jacoby, Briffa and Jasper series, the MBH PC1 is very different from that shown in
     Figure 4. Mann et al. (1998) is cited as the source for the AD200 PC1, although this
     series obviously does not appear in that publication. Can you provide information on the
     calculation of the NOAMER PC1 illustrated in Jones and Mann(2004) and why it differs so
     significantly from the series at Mann's FTP site? Regards, Steve McIntyre
