    Hans,
        This guy pesters me from time to time. I've given him your name at
    WMO/GCOS as someone who'll reply. We can discuss the merits of my
    stance in April !  He wants to find fault with some of our station data
    and by default that the world isn't warming. If you can just tell him some
    wmo email addresses that might respond.
        Why I'm helping him with emails is beyond me ! He wants to
    discredit what I've done.  Why the gridded data isn't good enough
    is beyond me.
    Cheers
    Phil

      Warwick,
          Hans Teunisson will reply. He'll tell you which other people should reply.
      Hans is "Hans Teunissen" <HTeunissen@wmo.int>  .
       I should warn you that some data we have we are not supposed top pass on
      to others. We can pass on the gridded data - which we do.  Even if WMO
      agrees, I will still not pass on the data.  We have 25 or so years invested
      in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim
      is to try and find something wrong with it. There is IPR to consider.
        You can get similar data from GHCN at NCDC.  Australia isn't restricted there.
      Several European countries are. Basically because, for example, France doesn't
      want the French picking up data on France from Asheville. Meteo France
      wants to supply data to the French on France. Same story in most of the
      others.
      Cheers
      Phil

     Dear Phil,
     Greetings from sunny Perth.
     Re the issue of the non-availability of your station by station global data.
     I have this month emailed the WMO a couple of times with the text below this
     email, no response so far.  I have used the following two email addresses from
     the "ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTORY Offices and Departments:" on the WMO web site.
     First the Office of the Secretary-General(SG) sg_o@wmo.int
     and looking down their long list of Departments I selected  World Climate Data
     and Monitoring Programme Division (WCD)  with email address wcdmp@wmo.int .
     I wondered if you had any suggestion for a WMO email address that might
     respond ?
     Best wishes,
     Warwick Hughes

     Dear Chief Executive Officer,
     World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme Division (WCD),
     Last July I emailed Prof Phil Jones;
     Prof. Phil Jones

     asking him for his "...station by station temperature data, updated through
     2001 referred to on your CRU web page;
     [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/#datdow
     as "Over land regions of the world over 3000 monthly station temperature time
     series are used."
     Professor Jones replied to say that he had been asked to stop releasing those
     data.
     In view of the desirability that the free flow of scientific data be
     maintained, I feel sure this is a misunderstanding and I look forward to you
     letting Prof Jones know that the WMO has no objection to him quickly passing on
     to me these global station by station temperature data updated as recent as
     possible.
     I have been researching and publishing on climate science since the early
