<p>Does anyone know where the "list of trees" is published for the tree ring data used in the analysis for the upcoming paper. I have played around with some of the controversial stuff (for instance, tree YAD061 and other "Yamal trees"), but so far, I haven't found a reliable source that lists the trees they kept and those they ditched when they generated the series.</p>

<p>I have the same question about the borehole temperature data and whatever else they used.</p>

<p>Edit (01/20/2011) ==============================</p>

<p>Here's a better description of what I'm looking for.</p>

<p>I realize that what is about to be discussed is the analysis/processing of the "incoming data".   However, a second issue is the "incoming data" itself, and can I (a mere mortal) duplicate what the authors have done?</p>

<p>Here's an example:</p>

<p>First, something part of, or similar to the "incoming data":</p>

<p>Figure A shows their "hockey stick".  Then there's a description of the "Regional Curve Standardisation", then a map showing the location of the trees, and believe it or not, an actual description of the raw data that was used.   The data sets are at:</p>

<p>Such that if you want to fool with the data for a specific tree, you can.   For example, I can download and play with tree YAD061 (from 1803 to 1996):</p>

<p>My goal is to understand what the authors did so I can get an idea of how reasonable the "incoming data" really is.</p>
