date: Fri Feb 10 17:42:59 2006 from: Keith Briffa subject: Re: paleo sensitivity paper accepted to: Gabi Hegerl , Jonathan Overpeck Gabi well done on this - you know as well as I, how it is increasingly a balance of lottery and bloody mindedness (by reviewers and necessarily authors) that finally decides on whether these things make it into these journals. We will now have no problem keeping the Crowley/Hegerl curve in the summary Figure - regardless of whether the other paper is accepted in time . But when it is , I would still prefer of course to cite that one for the source of the reconstruction. very best wishes Tim and I are having a bit of a nightmare trying to pull together recent GCM and EMIC runs that have been done following the New Zealand meeting - and until these are finalised we can not refine the details in the text. This rush is not the way considered and careful work is done.

I append the last version, but they are of course still fiddling with it (but saying changes now go via tech ed), eg change "last millennium" to "last seven centuries" in title. It has a bit on the forced response, see figure 1 and 2, and some tables of correlations between forcing and response in the supplement (since I knew the other one is not sure to make it, I hitched the supplement up a bit). Its more relevant for chapter 9 though. it also has the CH-blend recon attached to the supplement, but refers to the other paper for a detail description. After this 6month rollercoaster on both papers, and 3 iterations, I LOVE specialty journals (understandable process, predictable reviewers that make useful suggestions, etc). but, nice to get it in.
