date: Thu Aug 25 08:34:33 2005 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: Fwd: RE: CCSP Report to: Kevin Trenberth Kevin, Seems the best and the only solution. There will still be a month (October) for reviewers of our chapter to get the latest CCSP draft. Maybe over a beer or two in Christchurch with Tom, he'll be able to give us a brief summary of all the legal issues! With the NZ dates, it is likely that Tom might have to be in constant contact with the CCSP people and some at NCDC. I hope he still manages to come to Christchurch. I'll email Albert to collect some information on the current European floods, so we can add a sentence or two to the floods box. The Portuguese fires seem more for WGII, but I'll update the summer temp series for C. Europe in early October. It's still been very hot in the western Med. Since early July we've had a constant stream of depressions coming across Britain from the NW with the later track towards the Alps and northern Balkans. Another is on its way - it passed here yesterday, with a near record low pressure over northern Scotland (for August). Cheers Phil At 17:36 24/08/2005, you wrote: Martin Yes that's about as good as can be done. Of course, given this situation we will be unaware of what changes have been made and what the CCSP report says. The fact that Tom is a review editor of our chapter makes me wonder if our report may not influence theirs more than theirs influencing us? Tom has access to our draft already. Clearly this is one area where we will have work to do in Christchurch.
