✦ Synopsis

Hughes' comment fulfils one of the aims of Parker (1994), i.e. to stimulate the provision of more detail regarding historical exposure of thermometers at land stations. Similar contributions from other countries are encouraged, especially in view of recent studies (e.g. Karl et al., 1993) of diurnal temperature range, which is sensitive to thermometer exposure.

Precise information about individual stations' histories is, nonetheless, more useful than circumstantial evidence, such as that gleaned by Hughes from the Australian Conference Minutes. Without precise, correct, station histories, interpretation of records remains open to doubt. We need full documentation if we are reliably to monitor climate and detect its changes.
