More soon, best, peck Hi, in my opinion, there is nothing new in the Wegman report. In addition it seems that it is not peer reviewed, in contrast to the NAS report. The views concerning centering and other technical issues are referred to in the litterature (M&M, von Storch, Wahl/Amman, Rutherford) hence I don´t think it is required for our work.

I imagine that you are aware of this report but am attaching a copy here just in case. We did not include this in the additional papers that we have sent you so far because, unlike the others, it has not been accepted by a scientific journal and there seem to be conflicting accounts as to whether it has been peer-reviewed or not. The Wegman report could be cited in the WG1-AR4 under IPCC rules but we would suggest that, in considering whether there is any merit in doing so, your primary consideration should be whether or not it includes additional scientific points or analyses that are not covered by literature that is already cited from the peer reviewed journals. We also received a copy of the recent NAS report on surface temperature reconstructions but, as we know you already have that, we did not forward another copy to you. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and good luck with completing the final draft of your chapter.
