...Mitchell and Jones (2005, hereafter MJ05) updated the earlier high-resolution (0.5◦ × 0.5◦ latitude/longitude) monthly datasets initially developed by New et al. (1999, 2000)....

...From these, anomalies of WET are estimated using the empirical formula derived by New et al. (2000) shown in Appendix 3, to produce ‘synthetic’ WET anomalies at the same resolution....

...New et al. (2000) interpolated using anomalies, but calculated them using a supplementary source of normals; in this case it would be essential to correct all stations to match the baseline of the normals (again 1961–90)....
[...]
...New et al. (2000) included these sources but augmented them for some variables....
[...]
...Details of the interpolation were given by New et al. (1999, 2000)....
[...]
...The station anomalies were interpolated onto a regular latitude–longitude grid following New et al. (2000) and adjusted to correspond to the published normals (New et al., 1999)....

...A prior set of 0.5° grids for 1901–95 (CRU TS 1.0: New et al., 2000) has been used to examine the transmission of malaria (Kuhn et al., 2003), Canadian carbon sinks (Chen et al., 2003), and the demography of the holly-leaf miner (Brewer and Gaston, 2003); this list is not exhaustive....

...Thin-plate splines are described elsewhere (Wahba, 1990; Hutchinson and Gessler, 1994; Hutchinson, 1995a) and the details are not repeated here....

...These included surface-fitting procedures such as thin-plate splines (Wahba 1990; Hutchinson and Gessler 1994; Hutchinson 1995a) and minimum-curvature splines (Franke 1982), Delaunay triangulation,...

...In constructing the monthly grids, we used an ‘‘anomaly’’ approach, which attempts to maximize available station data in space and time (New et al. 1999)....

...As noted earlier, a large proportion of the spatial variation in monthly temperature anomalies is a function of largescale circulation features and is relatively independent of topography (New et al. 1999)....

...Previous work had identified a good predictive relationship between mean monthly ground frost frequency and minimum temperature (New et al. 1999). Reanalysis of the data used by New et al. (1999) resulted in an improved prediction: 100 T # 214 mn 50 1 50 cos[7....
