cc: Eduardo.Zorita@gkss.de, Hans.von.Storch@gkss.de date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 16:14:31 +0200 (MET DST) from: Julie Jones subject: Re: Erik planetary albedo/Erik data to: Tim Osborn Hi Tim It's now 6 weeks since we sent the revised version and reviewer's comments to Science, and we're getting concerned that Mike Mann may be trying to scupper the article. So after discussing it with Hans and Edu, we've decided that we're happy for you to talk about the work, but not to say that it's been submitted to Science. Thus if anyone wanted to stick their nose in, they wouldn't know where. If we hear anything between now and Utrecht, then we'll let you know, and if it's good news then we'll be very happy for you to advertise for us! I've attached a diagram that we've selected - I hope it's self explanatory, if not, please ask. Do you or Keith know anything about 'waiting times' with Science, whether not hearing anything after 6 weeks of submitting a revised version is abnormal or not? cheers Julie ************************************ Dr. Julie M.
