date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:17:56 -0400 from: "Wahl, Eugene R" subject: RE: Past Millennia Climate Variability - Review Paper to: "Phil Jones" Hi Phil: Here are my corrections, suggestions, etc. for the Wengen paper, as promised yesterday. Note that I am sending two files: one with all my changes, questions, etc. highlighted in magenta, along with being tracked by "Track Changes", and a second without the magenta coloring, except for a reference I added. I have included the second file because the last time I opened the first one, Windows had changed the color of my textual changes to red, which can hardly be seen with the magenta highlighting!! (Arghh -- Microsoft) If you open the first file and my tracked changes come out in another color besides red, then use that version, and ignore the one with the highlighting turned off. These changes use the version sent by Gavin Schmidt as a base, but do not make any attempt to reference the changes sent by Francis, as I was nearing completion when he sent his ideas Sunday and decided to go ahead with my thoughts independently. I have not looked at his version yet in fact. I hope that doing this is not a trouble for you, and apologize if it is, but it is what my mind could handle! Thanks again to you, Keith and Tim for all the coordination work on this. Peace, Gene ________________________________ From: Wahl, Eugene R Sent: Mon 3/10/2008 2:36 PM To: Phil Jones Subject: RE: Past Millennia Climate Variability - Review Paper Hi Phil: I feel like Francis, but have been slowly making my way through the full draft and offering suggested changes (all minor). I expect to be finished later today or tomorrow, as this is now our "spring" break from classes. Will send then. Peace, Gene Dr. Eugene R. Wahl Asst.

I hope this is still useful. I had a chance to read the full draft of the paper while travelling this week and have added some comments and suggested edits to the version that contains Gavin's edits.

I find the paper a little uneven - veering from hyper technical to fairly superficial at different points, but overall it's got almost everything. The only bit I really didn't like was a paragraph on the Wegman report's use of the IPCC 90 figure - that has to go or be radically rewritten. I have a few questions on other peoples sections where I though something was unclear (generally highlighted and in all caps). Changes are visible in track changes mode.
