The stuff related to low-frequency and RCS that you want to do with Tom and I is a bit of an extention of what I want to do right now. I mainly want to do a "state-of-the-art" comparison of existing recons to determine where the greatest uncertainties currently lie. The work with Tom could build upon that very naturally because I am sure that the greatest uncertainties lie in the multi-centennial band where tree-ring standardization methods have the greatest impact. >to say would prefer no involvement of Mann and Phil - >and can you tell me what reconstruction Bradley did ever ? unless >you mean the Bradley and Jones early decadal series? I agree that Phil and Mike are best left out of this. Bradley? Yeah, he has done fuck-all except for the Bradley/Jones decadal series, which he maintains has withstood the test of time. Typical posturing on his part.
