     The 1979-2004 DTR trend is a statistically insignificant -0.001 C/dec.
     The new plot probably looks better because South America is fixed.
     Also, for some reason the red stands out less when the maps are smaller!
     If Byron changed the color bar it's probably because Kevin asked him to.  Byron has a
     zillion directories with IPCC stuff -- he basically saves every version of everything.
     So if someone changes there mind 20 times over the course of 6 months, then settles on
     something they tried a while earlier, he can say, "You were right back on October 1st!"

      Russ,
         New plot for 1979-2004 looks a little different from the one we already have.
      It also looks as though there is slightly more blue. Even if it's not significant
      a trend number with a minus sign will be good enough for Kevin. Well, I hope
      so !
         More of the extreme colours have gone this time, but Byron's changed the
      colour bar !
      Cheers

     Yes, there will be tables documenting trends globally and for each hemisphere (annual
     and by season).

      Russ,
         Presumably the paper will have trends averaged for NH, SH and Globe
      for the two periods 1979-2004 and 1950/1-2004.  SH isn't essential
      as long as Globe and NH are there.
         Looking forward to the plots.

     Phil:
     The paper will contain time series and maps for both periods.  I'll forward the maps in
     my next message.  I have someone working on the time series plots right now.  Will send
     them later today.

      Russ,
          Thanks for the update. As we have the 1979-2004 trend plot, can we also
      get the time series one for max/min/dtr for 1950-2004 soonish - as soon
      as the draft. It will likely be in the draft, probably.
      Cheers

     Just a quick update -- the writing progresses well, but I won't have a draft for you
     today.  Tomorrow with a little good fortune!
