David Wilson made this Freedom of Information request to University of East Anglia

From: David Wilson

11 December 2009

Dear University of East Anglia,

I write with reference to the global temperature dataset maintained
by the Climate Research Unit based at the UEA (The dataset known a
the CRU or HAD/CRUT record). This dataset is itself based upon raw
temperature data which is currently or was held by the CRU. I would
be grateful if you could provide a list of institutions and other
persons with whom this raw (unprocessed) data has been shared since
January 1st 2005

Yours faithfully,

David Wilson

Andrew Montford left an annotation (14 January 2010)

I'm intrigued by the suggestion that Georgia Tech only received a subset of the data. It would be worth searching Climate Audit to see exactly what it was Peter Webster received. I'm wondering if there is some distinction between "the CRU archive" and the stations used in preparing the CRUTEM index and subsequently HADCRUT.

I also wonder if it is possible to shorten the timescale covered somewhat in order to avoid tripping the cost exemption.
