Mann" Subject: Re: one small reference change Hi phil, thanks again--wow, there is a lot going on I wasn't even aware of. Thanks for keeping me posted. Meanwhile, MM have submitted a comment to Nature and we have already written a reply. I thought I had sent to you, but if not here (confidentially) is their comment and our reply. I hope to incorporate much from that reply into the revision of the Climatic Change paper if Nature doesn't run the exchange (as I hope and expect) after reviewres see their comment and our reply. I think this reply is even stronger than our submitted C.C. paper, because we've done more additional analyses to address several other of their compaints, and try to drive home the point w/ cross-validation. Ray, Malcolm and I need to finalize this early next week, after I return. Please let me know if you have any comments! thanks again for all your help w/ everything. HOpe to have revised figures 5 and 8 for you before I leave... mike Prof. Phil Jones Climatic Research Unit Telephone +44 (0) 1603 592090 School of Environmental Sciences Fax +44 (0) 1603 507784 University of East Anglia Norwich Email p.jones@uea.ac.uk NR4 7TJ UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
