date: Fri Mar 20 08:32:51 2009 from: Phil Jones subject: READ THIS ONE FIRST to: "Chief Exec" Paul, Hope you have read this one first. The issue I have with Bob Prichard has been almost resolved - see below. So ignore that. Apologies for the earlier email, but he just seems to wind me up at every step. I'll have to try to be more restrained. I'll resubmit a revised version trying to take all the points on board. So the only issue for you to consider is the one about changes to any data availability and access after papers have been published. Glenn raised the issue following the response to the Santer et al paper in IJC, This paper was in Vol 28 (1703-1722). The paper before this (Douglas et al 28, 1693-1701) had been online for a while - the authors did a press release when Glenn accepted the final version. There were no requests for the intermediate data from that study. Ben Santer managed to reproduce all their results without contacting the authors from original raw data. This is what the requesters from the Santer et al paper should have done. It is possible that Douglas et al and Santer et al made the same mistake going from the raw to the intermediate data. I know this is unlikely, but the fact that they both got the same results, shows it can be done. Anyway - happy to discuss at any time.
