Audit of HadCRUT4 dataset - Published in October 2018, a 120-page detailed audit of the HadCRUT4 dataset that identifies more than 70 problem areas, including issues with the data prior to it being submitted to the CRU and Hadley Centre. A 4-minute YouTube video by Marc Morano that talks about the audit can be found here. 08 Jul 2019
