New datasets downloaded by Danila inserted as options in CFU_load :

'HadCRUT3glo'/'HadSST2oc'/'CRUTEM3land'/'NCDCglo'/'NCDCland'/'NCDCoc'/'GISSglo'/'GISland'/'GISSoc'
These datasets are area-averaged time-series : the glo/land/oc part of the arguments reminds of over which surface the tos/tas are averaged (global/ocean/land)
The arguments 'NOAA' and 'UKMO' are now called 'ERSST' and 'HADISST' but 'NOAA' and 'UKMO'  still works for compatibility purposes.
