Arrive on May 8 and return on May 13, so will have May 9 for discussions. Have to get back asap as on HC review committee from May 17. Hope NZ is relaxing ! Cheers Phil Kevin, Realize that there is on one hotel for us ! Phil Kevin, In CRU today - off to Chicago for the VTT CCSP meeting tomorrow. This should be interesting ! Roger Pielke has been stirring things up with a minority report, but Tom Wigley has given me much of the background and some amazingly caustic emails. I'll need to tread carefully ! I'll try to arrange a flight to get Beijing on the Sunday as well. Flying from here I'll get in early that day. I'll return on May 13. Which hotel will you go for? No luck with the ppt file. System here says it's empty. Can you give the file to Dennis and I'll get our computer guy here Mike Salmon (who Dennis has been in contact with in the last week or so about our hi-res datasets)? Maybe between the two of them they can figure something out. If I recall you are either in NZ or Hawaii, so don't worry about the file till you get back unless Dennis can access your filestore. Cheers Phil At 16:28 14/02/2005, you wrote: Phil Any idea of your schedule to Beijing? We have to be there 10-12. I think my main options are a flight from San Fran that gets in after 5 p.m. So I am thinking of going a day earlier: would give me monday free (maybe a bit of sight seeing but also a chance to get together.) Can you get in a bit earlier also? Kevin -- **************** Kevin E. Trenberth e-mail: trenbert@ucar.edu Climate Analysis Section, NCAR [1]www.cgd.ucar.edu/cas/ P. O.
