cc: Gabi Hegerl date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 08:57:46 -0700 from: Jonathan Overpeck subject: Re: [Fwd: [Wg1-ar4-ch09] section 9.3] to: Keith Briffa Hi Gabi and Keith - thanks for the coordination efforts. Keith raises the issue of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), and I think it is critical that we don't give a vague or poorly coordinated view on that period. In the MWP box, Keith does an excellent job saying what it was and wasn't. I'm not sure you've seen the figure that goes with it Gabi, but it is attached with all the figs (we're updating the captions and the one missing fig, but the rest are final, including all of Keith's (Tim's) figs. Box 6.4 Fig 1 is the MWP fig. Thanks, Peck >Gabi >it is difficult to be precise as regards >comments , mainly because there do seem, as it >turns out, to be large areas of overlap between >our discussion of the simulations, forcings, and >consistency with the CO2 record in what you >sent.
