Your first suggestion is probably better, but the second covers more of the message I was trying to convey. So go with the second. Cheers Phil At 15:24 26/07/2005, you wrote: Phil I am having trouble with one sentence: it is not right English wise. Temperature estimates for the lower parts of the atmospheric column (~2-8km), despite being different quantities than those measured at the surface, show similar warming rates (within the error estimates of the two datasets) to the surface since 1958 (from radiosondes) and from 1979 (from satellites). 1) Suggest "lower atmosphere" instead of lower parts of the atmospheric column: don't like "parts" 2) The "despite being different quantities" does not work. We could say "a physically distinct region" or despite being independent of those at the surface Kevin Phil Jones wrote: Kevin, Updated the pdf directory. Sent some revisions to Lisa for the references. Some title changes so sent pdfs where needed. Here's my mods to CQ3.2. They are red on my machine. Changes to the other CQs are only to make the text WG Body Text. I'll now go through your revised attachment and approve or whatever. Mark New should then arrive. He should be gone by 4pm, by which time you'll likely be in . Don't forget to get Lisa to email me with any problems in the refs.
