Impact of adjustments
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am interested in the HADCRUT3 global temperature index. Specifically, I would like to know the impact of adjustments to the data over time as these affect the global mean surface temperature.
I imagine that such an assessment must be done as a part of the regular preparation of the index and presumably would take the form of a chart of the index calculated with and without the adjustments, although anything along these lines would meet my needs.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm trying to compare the two extremes - raw data from the weather stations at one end, and the final HADCRUT3 GMST at the other.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Montford
