Phil,
Before you finalize anything, please let me get back to you with some
additional thoughts. There are some wrinkles that you and Tim don't
seem to have thought of.

One further thing (possibly one of the extra wrinkles?) is that while you could put the S
Pole data from CRUTEM2 (where it seems correct) into HadCRUT2, it isn't quite correct to
put it (as I wrongly suggested) into CRUTEM2v and HadCRUT2v because those should have their
high frequency deviations scaled to remove sample-size-related biases. Only a minor
difference.
