Hi again Malcolm I am forwarding the data in another message (from Tim). I am sending the whole lot for simplicity. Please don't pass on until we hear whether the paper is accepted or not. Remember that , although they are strongly correlated with them, these data are not identical in the high frequency domain to the equivalent data standardised using say a Hugershoff function. The main purpose here was to extract long-timescale variations and I still consider the inter annual to decadal variability to be better defined using the 'traditional' approach. For a first look anyway these are fine best wishes Keith At 04:14 AM 8/24/00 -0700, you wrote: Dear Keith, It was good to talk with you this morning. This is a reminder about sending your Western North America banded record as you suggested. I suspect that you are right to think that it would eventually be best to use a customized banded set, but as a start, I think it would be good to compare the WNW record with the mean series Graybill and Idso used in their 1993 paper, and with the single site Campito Mountain record. I'll start with a simple graphical comparison and then move to comparing waveforms extracted by, for example, SSA. My hope is that we can fairly rapidly generate a note to something like GRL or JoC's new short format, putting a believable version of these records out there for general use. Please reply to the mhughes@ltrr.arizona.edu address. I'm sending it from my other address as well as a 'belt-and-braces' approach because of recent e-mail problems. Looking forward to working on this with you, Cheers, Malcolm Malcolm Hughes Professor of Dendrochronology Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 520-621-6470 fax 520-621-8229
