Land-Air weigthed temperatures set: Source weigth reason Angel Korshover 75 3 Limited number of stations, but full NH coverage Chen 82 10 Good coverage and precise data available Hansen 81 2 Hansens NH set is calculated from extra-tropics and tropics. In addition, Hansens methods are not fully known (Robock 82). Jones 82 8 Good coverage NH, procedures openly described. Kelly 82 4 Jones use this series to compare his own data with, but im not familiar with the origin. However, Kelly is part of Jones publications and thus Kelly´s material is likely to be of similar quality as Jones. Vinnikov 80 2 Vinnikovs NH is missing the 0-17,5N area - However the later Vinnikov full NH supports these original Vinnikov 1980 very well indeed. Yamamoto 78 6 Good full NH coverage however details are in Janapese… Temperature 1960 set to zero.
