   Very cute, Phil. I've passed your suggestion on to Matt.

      Tom, David, John,
         Here's the first paper to cite it!  As we know they didn't realise the significance
      of Figure 1!

          I hope you've persuaded Matt Menne to do that USHCN split (into the watts-up-that
      categories).
          You could then have a title.
      Watts-up with this - no differences in US average for stations in different categories
      Cheers
      Phil

     Thanks.

     For info, in the near future we plan to have discussions here on possible future
     developments of the land surface air temperature analyses. We'll let you know in due
     course of any relevant developments.

     David, Phil & John,
           Attached is a copy of our paper:
     Parker, David, E., Phil Jones, Thomas C. Peterson, John Kennedy, 2009: Comment on
     "Unresolved Issues with the Assessment of Multi-Decadal Global Land Surface Temperature
     Trends" by Roger A. Pielke, Sr. et al., Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres,
     114, D05104, doi:10.1029/2008JD010450.
           When I took a couple month old BAMS with me to read while in a waiting room and
     stumbled across a paper I was a co-author on, I realized I needed to update my vitae....
                  Regards,
                           Tom
