date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 12:42:38 +0100 from: Thorsten Kiefer subject: Wengen ms to: Phil Jones Dear Phil, happy New Year for a start ... ... and then of course comes immediately my standard query on the Wengen manuscript. I hope that you will be able to get this done in January. During the AGU week in December I had visted Larry Williams and colleagues at EPRI. It is obvious that getting this manuscript submitted in January is critical to future support of the larger PAGES/CLIVAR Group. Therefore, I would argue to submit in Jan, even if it was not perfect. Do you think this will be possible? Cheers Thorsten On 4 Dec 2007, at 14:35, Thorsten Kiefer wrote: Phil, do you think that you will be able to submit in January, as Larry strongly suggested? With respect to funding perspectives, I would like to think of January as a very firm deadline. What do you think about that w.r.t. Keith/Tim and your own availability to finish the manuscript?

Why is it that I have little time to work on this for the next couple of weeks - other things and the build up to Christmas! So, if you want to add something on the best forcing histories along with a figure then fine. A para on greenhouse gases and aerosols would be useful, if just for completeness. Need the best latest one - so Lean's latest for solar, and whatever you think the best one on volcanoes. I'd hope the latter was the one without any mention of 1259!

Note, corrected some typos and changed a few words within Gavins section. Actually, switched 4.1 and 4.2. Seem to make a bit more sense since Gavin actually writes quite a nice intro into the forcings themselves. Talking about the time evolution is then better as a next step. I'm not sure where you are with figures. But it would not hurt to show the primary time series, one for solar and one for volcanic. Maybe I should add a short paragraph on greenhouse gases?
