cc: i.harris@uea.ac.uk date: Mon Sep 3 16:56:57 2007 from: Tim Osborn subject: RE: Couple of quick questions to: Phil Jones , "Wilby, Rob" But what Harry *will* be doing once the observational data is done is to make future scenarios from some of the AR4 runs using pattern scaling and subsequent combination with the updated observational data. These could then be averaged to country-level (did you really mean "county" level?) but that wasn't currently planned. That is on a NERC QUEST project being coordinated by Nigel Arnell, which I'm PI on and Harry's working on, hence Phil's cc to me.

How much are you offerring..

How much would this extra step cost...?

It has taken us far too long to do this - Harry getting to grips with Tim's programs. Cheers Phil At 14:20 28/08/2007, Mike Hulme wrote: Rob, Hmm! Yes, there seems something fishy. Ive checked the UK plots against what we put in UKCIP02 and it seems that the TYN 2.0 version is the correct one. I cant figure out why TYN 3.0 is different (wrong). Please use TYN 2.0. Tim M is well out of circulation now, so it will be hard to track down. No plans known to me to re-do using IPCC AR4 you could check with Phil in CRU I guess, but I dont think there is funding.

I'm just completing a technical report for DFID on methods/resources for constructing decadal climate forecasts. I was browsing the high resolution gridded data sets and came across a couple of things I didn't understand: #1. In the attached plots for Morocco the results are very different for the TYN 2.0 and TYN 3.0 data (e.g., DJF A2) - why is this? #2. The links seem to mislabelled - the country plots from TYN 3.0 are all labelled as originating from TYN SC 2.0 - why is this? Final question on a different matter - are then any plans to produce similar country plots using the AR4 runs? Hope none of the above are stupid!
