date: Thu, 5 May 2005 11:29:54 +0200 from: Eystein Jansen subject: [Wg1-ar4-ch06] Beijing Ch6 info 1 to: wg1-ar4-ch06@joss.ucar.edu Dear Chapter 6 Lead Authors: We're looking forward to seeing you all in Beijing, and having a productive meeting. As far as we know, everyone is coming except Jean-Claude (for health reason), Dominique (also health reasons) and David (prevented from traveling by NASA). We have quite a bit to accomplish at this meeting, and thus we expect that all attending will do some homework before they arrive. This should include: a) please read all the comments, and for those relevant to your sections (or others) please note how you intend to deal with them. Of course, we won't talk about little edits, but we want to make sure that the group can discuss anything more serious. For each section, we plan to ask each responsible person to GIVE A SHORT PRESENTATION on what must be done. We hope that all LA's will have input for each section. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR ASSIGNMENTS, and NOTE THAT WE HAD TO MAKE NEW ASSIGNMENTS IN ORDER TO COVER FOR THOSE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND. NB: There will be a projector in our Chapter discussion room, so bring Powerpoint presentations as you feel. b) please reread the other chapter(s) for which you are responsible (SEE ATTACHED LIST FOR ASSIGNMENTS), as well as the comments you prepared earlier. For anything significant (e.g., overlap or achieving cross-IPCC consistency), YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO LEAD DISCUSSION for your chapter. c) think extra hard about the fact that our chapter is significantly too long and that it must be shortened. What text and figures can we cut? Please note that our criteria includes that the material discussed must be relevant to policy, new since TAR, and not just a review of the field. d) make sure you bring your calendars - we will discuss and agree on a schedule of deadlines. Unlike our experience with the ZOD, we will have to meet more deadlines. The First Order Draft (FOD) must be perfect! This will include nice final figures, and a complete bibliography. e) we will discuss section 6.2.2 (with Valerie and us in the lead), and how we will ensure this important section, and its more detailed expansion in the appendix, will be covered. We propose that we and a small number of contributing authors to do the job. Please come with names of individuals who will be potentially expert in this area (e.g., with describing the nature of proxies), AND who will promise to work hard to meet deadlines. Please feel free to circulate any special ideas or requests to the group before the weekend. See you in Beijing! Best, Peck and Eystein Institute for the Study of Planet Earth 715 N.
