Description

Various data sets used in the demonstrations. Several of these are 'standard' data sets (CRU, Lean2004, AKRIM, crutemp, F10.7cm, forcings, gistemp, Lean1995, GISP2, Mauna.Loa). Some are from tables in papers (tab1, Douglasetal.tab1, Douglasetal.tab2,Scafetta2011.tab1).

The tables were copied digitally from the PDF-version in acroreader (copy text) and then saves as ASCII-files, read in R, and then re-saved as rda-files. The negative signs ('-') had to be set to '-' since the ASCII code for the signs in the tables did not correspond to the ASCII code used by R. Once these minor issues were fixed, these should be exact reproductions of the tables in the papers.

ssh2011.tab1 is the data from Table 1 in Solheim et al. (2011) Douglasetal.tab1 and Douglasetal.tab1 are from Douglas et al.

The other data sets have been taken from the same sources as stated in the papers. The URL from where these were obtained are given in the data attributes (e.g. type names(attributes(gisp2))).

By copying the numbers in published tables, and providing these together with the source code, we hopefully should be able to prove the inappropriateness in a way that even deniers find it hard to deny. This is how science should work - solid piece of work will mean that the results should be reproduced over and over again...

All the data have the attribute 'url' which provides information about the source from which the data were obtained.

FL1991 reads the solar cycle lengths from the DMI web site: Friis-Christensen, E., and K. Lassen, Length of the Solar Cycle: An indicator of Solar Activity Closely Associated with Climate, Science 254, 698-700, (1991)
