CORRESPONDENCE WITH U.S. NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION      

December 1, 2003       

Dear Dr. Verardo,

Results from NOAA award NA16GP2913 have been published in GRL (Mann and Jones (2003)). It is my understanding that the terms of the award require the data products to be be publicly archived at the time of publication pursuant to policy statements and guidelines implementing the USGCRP July 1991 Policy Statement. To my knowledge, this dataset has not been so archived. Can you inform me on the status of the archiving of this data? Thank you for your attention.

Yours truly,

Stephen McIntyre
