date: Fri Mar 3 17:33:31 2006 from: Keith Briffa subject: our last chat to: hakan.grudd@dendrolab.se Hakan I have been thinking a lot about what you said , re the "Briffa Bodge" in relation to the density analysis of the Tornetrask data, and the analysis you are doing with new , recent density data. You implied that you might pass this buy me. I am going to be a bit cheeky and suggest that perhaps , given my stake in this stuff, I could do some more and possibly be considered as a co-author if I can do anything of use . This issue , and the wider "divergence " problem will become a bigger story than you might imagine , and I have a personal interest in keeping in touch (and being seen to be in touch) with this issue as it develops further. Anyway , if I can help, I am anxious to. cheers Keith -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/
