date: Thu Jan 13 14:39:25 2005 from: Keith Briffa subject: Peck your comments... to: jto@u.arizona.edu ...are really welcome. Am now incorporating them , plus doing some editorial bits - though will wait on Eystein to send replacement ocean bit . Having to get one of my people to do the references but not likely these will arrive til tomorrow. The main point to discuss is your comment on the MWP . I like the idea of a box. This IS sufficiently important to warrant it - in the context that most people say "it was warm/warmer than now then so disproves anthro effect - we should address this explicitly. I will have a go - but need to know how many words and Figure(s) allowed. We can simply just refer to this box in a couple of places in existing text. Sorry about Figures - now got some (2 ) borehole lines in (but may need more - reluctant to use Huang and Pollack original though because obviously much too cold on basis of simple regional averaging biases. Will send latest version (without box on MWP) tonight my time.
