date: Fri Aug 5 14:28:11 2005 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: SV: Help with a Figure to: Alexandersson Hans Hans, Thanks very much. The update is great and the colouring makes it easier to view. Also as the message is the same, that is good also. Will add a sentence on the now clearer recent decline. Cheers Phil At 13:59 05/08/2005, you wrote: Dear Phil, Recently I updated the pressure series and then now this weak I calculated an update of the figure also! I also made some checks and found some errors (esp Danish series) so that there should be some minor differences with previous figures. They will also change due to the fact that with a longer period you get new mean value and standard deviations used for the standardization. But the main message is still there: a decline up to around 1965, a rapid rise to about 1990 and then a clear decline. Looking at individual triangles I noticed that for the northernmost triangles the latest years had really high values! I managed to export an eps-file from my Matlab. Hopefully that is OK. In that figure blue rings and the blue line denotes the 95-percentile while red crosses and red line is the 99-percentile. Best greetings from another non-Euro member! Hasse Alexandersson ___________________________________________________________________________________ Från: Phil Jones [[1]mailto:p.jones@uea.ac.uk] Skickat: den 28 juli 2005 10:23 Till: Alexandersson Hans; 'Kevin Trenberth' Kopia: albert.klein.tank@knmi.nl Ämne: Help with a Figure Hans, We are using a figure of yours in the First Order Draft of the Observations Chapter of AR4. The figure is 3.8.4 and has this caption Figure 3.8.4: Storm index for British Isles, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, 18811998. Dots are 95-percentiles and crosses 99-percentiles of standardized geostrophic winds averaged over 10 sets of triangles of stations. The smoothed curves (solid for 95-percentiles) are obtained by a Gaussian low pass filter (Alexandersson et al., 2000). The copy we have has probably been pulled from a pdf file. We are trying to get .eps files for all figures, so the quality will be better, both for reviewing and also eventually in the final version. Can you send us an eps version? Ideally we would like this as soon as possible, but by Aug 11. If you're away, it isn't a problem, and we'll add it later. Cheers Phil PS We understand why it can't be updated. We will respond accordingly if the reviewers ask about this.
