    Dave,
       That could be what we want to show. Only 2 shades of red/blue are
    evident on the 79-03 sfc plot - the scale being determined by the
    seasonal plots.

     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,
        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 !
      Cheers

Dave,

Attached is the Tropospheric Trends map by Fu et al. (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.
