date: Wed Jun 2 14:22:08 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Fwd: Our chapter to: Kevin Trenberth Kevin, Not much time at the moment. Running CRU is taking more effort than I thought ! Gone through this and made suggestions, just to the ToLAs document. Also attached a document with the list of potential authors of all chapters in WGI - probably not yet all approved, but it contains a few names we might like to use but can't as they will be already involved. No idea how soon IPCC will send this latter list out, but I can see no harm in sending your two attachments plus the Authors Contact Sheet for our chapter. I've probably gone a little overboard in the alterations I've made. I realise we don't want to be too prescriptive, but we will likely have to until we meet them all. I share your reservations about all except Easterling, Parker and Soden. Albert Klein Tank should be OK and I believe Jim Renwick will be (but I've never met him). Looking at the other chapters (e.g 6, 9 and 10) we've not done very well. Let's give them a chance in the first instance. Happy for you to send the email off, or I can do it if you've not much time in the next week or so.

I am attaching 2 word documents that I would propose sending out. The first you saw before. The second is new and you should feel free to edit it. That is the one that will be a key one in getting started. We may want to also send a version in plain text. Frankly I am a bit applled at the crew we have. I worry that not only will several not pull their weight but that they may be a drain on the rest of us? Maybe you know them better than me and can help with the assignments?
