Dear folks,

Here are the revised Figures 1-3 of our contribution to IJoC.

Changes made:

Figure 1: In panel A, I've added some space to separate the UAH and RSS 
trends from the tick marks on the right hand side of the plot, as per 
Leo's request.

Figure 2: As Peter suggested, I've converted the Figure from one to two 
panels. I agree that this is an improvement. The original Figure was 
fairly "busy". Furthermore, the colored symbols (which denote results 
for the "between realization" trend tests) bore no relationship to the 
"Frequency of occurrence" scale on the y-axis. This is now clear from 
panel B.

Figure 3: As Mike suggested, I've removed the legend from the interior 
of the Figure (it's now below the Figure), and have added arrows to 
indicate the theoretically-expected rejection rates for 5%, 10%, and 20% 
tests. As Dian suggested, I've changed the colors and thicknesses of the 
lines indicating results for the "paired trends". Visually, attention is 
now drawn to the results we think are most reasonable - the results for 
the paired trend tests with standard errors adjusted for temporal 
autocorrelation effects.

Please let me know if you would like me to make any other changes.

With best regards,

Ben
