So there were more comments ! I've dealt with them on a hard copy on the way home, as they were all fairly trivial. Colin is going to get revised Figs 5.4/5.5 done. I got the PMG to agree to just LHR and just the base RCM run. So all can be done in b/w. See below and I can add them in between Aug 4 and 20. The main surprise was that Bob Watson wanted the whole report to go out for peer review. DEFRA and MOHC have talked him out of this, but the they want Ch 5 and Annex 4 in a separate report, so there will be one more UKCIP08 report - ours. Roger says this will make no difference as you'll download the lot in a pdf from the web site. Not sure if this is a way of dropping us at the last minute, but I think not. It may be a way for MOHC to distance itsefl from the WG. I'll try and contact Bob Watson when I'm back. As for the extremes - still no agreement. I got them to agree on Tx > = 25.0 well whatever UKCIP02 did re > or equal to. Also Tn < 0.0. As for precip simple ones like greatest 5 day precip and either R90T or R90N - see the email from Roger re what the Met Office are doing in the way of observational plots. Apart from the future we should get the batch runs done on WG present so we can compare with 61-90 values directly from the obs. No idea when these might come, but would make useful validation. As for teh future - Geoff will be sending new change factors on Aug 19. Yes they are doing another load - changing the carbon cycle. He says you have some change factors from Dave, so don't need them from Ag. Sarah will look into getting them from BADC. Either way they will change on Aug 19. Getting the WG present done will help with validation. Oh and Steph from UKCIP wants all final version of the diagrams by Aug 20 !!! Yes I know - Roger is getting worried and prattling on. I'll call and see how you're getting on on Aug 4 or 5. Hopefully you're bit Colin won't take long and can be done next week. Maybe best to do all ~10 locations for the one RCM. Odd things going on at DEFRA. DAvid Warrilow has been acting head of a group for 2 years. He applied for the post but someone else got it. So he is back doing climate events now - whatever that is. Someone called Nafees Meah from food securities is taking over the section in the autumn!

They don't include the changes for UKCIP comments. Geoff gave me those at the meeting. Chris didn't have these. I'll add these in during the week of Aug 4. I can send back with new Figures from Colin for 5.4/5.5 on Aug 20. Cheers Phil
