Mike,
Just reviewed Caspar’s paper with Wahl for Climatic Change. Looks
pretty good.
Almost reproduced your series and shows where MM have gone wrong. Should
keep
them quiet for a while. Also they release all the data and the R software.
Presume
you know all about this. Should make Keith’s life in Ch 6 easy !
Also, confidentially for a few weeks, Christy and Spencer have admitted
at the Chicago CCSP meeting that their 2LT record is wrong !! They used the
wrong
sign for the diurnal correction ! Series now warms – not quite as much as
the surface
but within error bands. Between you and me, we’ll be going with RSS in Ch 3
and there will be no discrepancy with the surface and the models. Should
make Ch 3
a doddle now ! Keep quiet about this until Bern at least. Can tell you
more then.
RSS (Carl Mears and Frank Wentz) found the mistake !
The skeptic pillars are tumbling !
Cheers
Phil
