Email 5239, Feb 2004, Adrian Simmons to Phil Jones on the "almost certainly erroneous cooling trends seen in the daily mean analyses for Australia and much of tropical South America" for 1958 to 2001

The Tmax and Tmin trends for 1958 to 2001 also show that the almost certainly erroneous
cooling trends seen in the daily mean analyses for Australia and much of tropical South
America arise much more from a decrease over time in maximum temperatures than from a
decrease in minimum temperatures.
