I want to see the max and min values with associated dates for the 1979 - 2009 periods.
Also, I don't understand why we (US Citizens) have paid roughly 1.3 million dollars to get vague and inconclusive results like this.
I really wish that the NSF would start funding real science for a change.
Here's an example of other weird stuff they research with our money.

"This work was supported by NSF grants ANS 0909388 and ARC 0901962, the NASA Cryosphere Program, and the Ohio State University Climate Water and Carbon Program. Field work along the K-transect has been supported by NWO/ALW."
Here's the grant information.

I'm not totally against NSF I think it's an awesome idea but I would like some accountability.
