Comment:

Note, that we have assumed a thermal equator of 5 degrees North, where sites above this latitude 'Summer' = JJA, and 'Winter' = DJF. Sites south of this line have 'Summer' (warmer temps) = DJF and 'Winter' (cooler temps) = JJA.

Drift correction has not been applied to the two coral sites!

Drift correction could not be applied to four sites in a land box when located using OFES.
