Here are some specific goals that I've thought of for each group. You will hopefully have some goals of your own! Think of mine as a starter set, at any rate.
Assignment for all: please have a member of each city's group email Jacob with a summary of identified issues in the three reports prepared so far (and any other issues identified since).
I might suggest that two separate pairs of eyes examine each issue.
\[ M(t)= a+b(t-1961)+\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(\alpha_i \cos\left(\frac{2 \pi (t-1961)}{T_i}\right)+\beta_i \sin\left(\frac{2 \pi (t-1961)}{T_i}\right)\right) \]
to include elevation, latitude, and longitude.
Including them linearly would be a good start. That makes the parameters easy to interpret.
\[ M(t)= a+b(t-1961)+ \alpha_i \cos\left(\frac{2 \pi (t-1961)}{T_0+s}\right) + \beta \sin\left(\frac{2 \pi (t-1961)}{T_0+s}\right) \]
where $T_0$ is the smallest reasonable period (e.g. Nyquist limit).
(again, incorporating elevation, latitude, and longitude as well).
