The following are selected analyses that may or may not
have made it into the report. Oftentimes the figure number is not the
same as in the report.
Figure xx (MSU D, C, and D minus C). Produced on Thursday 9 December.
MSU D is in red, C in orange, and D minus C is in gray.

Possible cover ?
In each row the left panel is UKMO surface
temperature trends and the right panel is MSU 2lt temperature trend.
This is Figure 6.2 shown in a satellite projection. The top row is
centered at 30N,110W and should be used on the front cover. The bottom
row is centered at 30S,70E.

Figure "minmax"
The minimum and maximum temperatures are drawn
as black and light gray lines, respectively. The difference, maximum
minus minimum, is drawn below as a slightly darker gray line.

Figure 2.4
Tropical seasonal-mean MSU 2LT (red), radiosonde (green), and Jones
surface temperature (black) in deg. C. The first season is March-April-May
1979 and the last season is December1998-January1999-February1999.

Figure 2.5
Global seasonal-mean surface temperature (Jones) in deg. C. The first season is March-April-May
1979 and the last season is December1998-January1999-February1999.
The y-intercept and trend (deg.C/yr) are 0.0029 and 0.0189, respectively.

Fig. 6.2
1979-98 surface (top) and MSU 2lt (bottom) trends, respectively. The
surface trends have been smoothed once along latitude circles with a
3-point running mean. This smoother also has the effect of
interpolating isolated and adjacent pairs of grid boxes for which no
trend was calculated. The filled grid boxes occur over parts of South
America, Africa, and at high latitudes. The remaining grid boxes for
which no trends were calculated are shaded gray (high latitudes of
each hemisphere).

Figure 7.2
Reynolds SST (black), MSU C + orbital decay (aqua), and
MSU D (red). The values of both MSU series have been divided by 1.6,
consistent with Wentz and Schabel (1999).

Figure 7.4
Location of surface temperature observations. The map is a
composite of all of the Global Historical Climatology Network mean
temperature
stations (large dots) and the ship-based observations from a single
week used
in
the production of the Reynolds and Smith (1994) sea surface
temperature dataset
(small dots).

radiosonde grid boxes ("subsampled") (light red). "Subsampled" minus
all-gridpoints is plotted below.
