Scott & Mike,

I've now compared the age-banded REG-EM reconstructions with our regional & gridded reconstructions (also age-banded) and plots are attached as a .ps file (same layout as before).  Note that I had to assume that the age-banded REG-EM file covered the period 1400-1959, not the 1404-1963 period of the traditionally-standardised REG-EM reconstructions you sent earlier.  Otherwise I got a 4-year lag and poor correlation.  Can you confirm, Scott, that the ABD file is indeed 1400-1959 (so I can rule out any problems with my program?).  All the correlations are a little higher than for the traditionally-standardised comparison.  Hope that's enough for you EGS talk, Mike, as I have to move on to other stuff for the next week or so (preparation for my trip to NCAR, talks etc.).

Regards

Tim
