date: Tue May 4 15:42:51 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Confidential - at least for a few weeks to: "T Davies" Trevor, Just had Susan Solomon on the phone. Asked (and I agreed) if I would be a convening lead-author on the Atmospheric Observations chapter of the next WGI IPCC report. Means a big commitment for the next 2.5 years. Doing it with Kevin Trenberth. If you've not already sent off your recommendation re professorial pay rise, this might be some useful information. If yes, I can keep it to use next year. Spoke to Nathan and he seemed keen to come. Said he would make his decision in the next 2 weeks. Said he would get a room in CRU. With changes already in hand, he could have Mick's (he will move to Clare/Mike's) and them to Jean's.
