CRU 1991 NHem data 8,554 KB 1593 stationsThese two files originally sourced in 1993 thru CDIAC
The NH file has been split into six txt files for easier file transfer.

CRU 1991 SHem data 1,244 KB 288 stations
Station inventory files, North Hem; South Hem
You may think this is ancient history but these are the data that took Global Warming to the Rio conference, starting the whole chain that went to Kyoto.
New site in Dec 2009 enabling graphing of all Jones 1986 sites with near neighbours.
In order to begin to understand what CRU have done with data, researchers should obtain the following book (picture of inside cover page)free from US Dept of Energy CDIAC(webaddress below).
This"phonebook sized" book contains the two original CRU published papers from 1986;
Jones PD , Raper SCB, Bradley RS, Diaz HF, Kelly PM, Wigley TML. (1986) Northern Hemisphere surface air   temperature variations 1851-1984. J. Clim Appl Met. 25:161-179
Jones, P.D., Raper, S.C.B. and Wigley, T.M.L., (1986b), Southern Hemisphere Surface Air Temperature Variations 1851-1984.    Journal of Clim Applied Meteorology, 25, p. 1213-1230.
Plus their large documentation papers from the 1980's, CDIAC numbering TR022 (NH) and TR027 (SH),.

Office of Energy Research ,Carbon Dioxide Research Division, US Department of Energy. Under Contract No. DE-ACO2-79EV10098

Plus copies of the Jones/CRU published papers.
Lets hope CDIAC still has some copies in print at;

Jones 1994 global data full file ex CRU website several years ago, is near 14 MB as downloaded so I split into 6 txt files Jones almost doubled the number of stations used to 3555 in this 1994 update. No documentary books such as TR022 and TR027 were ever published that I have seen. Any descriptions are in - Free pdf download;       Jones PD, (1994) Hemispheric surface air temperature variations: a reanalysis and an update to 1993. J Clim 7:1794-1802
