As an aside the bias adjustments in the SST data are far more important than anything up with the land. All you have to do a moderately reasonable job with land and you'll be fine. Someday, one of these, will realise this. Roger can't see this, as he's full of Tom's baloney. Why does everyone go on about the land?... It's been sunny here today and felt warm! It could be land use change outside our building, higher vapour pressure, but I don't care - it feels warm and that is what matters! Cheers Phil
