date: Fri Jan 9 13:58:20 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: greetings and paper to: Neil Ward Dear Neil, Happy New Year ! and it has been a long time ! The papers from the Galway meeting came out (Santer et al in 1993 ref in the proc. and then Clim. Dyn 95, vol 12, 77-100. I'm partly out of this sort of thing now. Detection is all in the U/A now and all optimal. The latest IPCC (2001) would be a good place to look through (the D&A chapter) Other good reviews are Barnett et al (1999) in BAMS 80, 2631-2659. Also Thorne et al (2003) in Clim Dyn. 21 , 573-591. Peter did his PhD here and now he's at the HC working for Chris/Simon etc. You can call if you want, but although this week was supposed to be relaxing (it hasn't) the next two are full with meetings. Reviewing KNMI next week and in Geneva the week after for something to do with GCOS. Here both Fridays the next two weeks. Final week of Jan should be here most of the time except 26/30th.

Am pleased some discussions here have provided me opportunity to contact you and say hello - and see if my distant memory is at all accurate - somehow i recall you presenting in the mid/late 90s an analysis of the spatial pattern of observed trends in the 20th Century, and the degree to which they matched the spatial pattern of trends in global change projections - i think it was at the climate statistics meeting in Galway in 1996? If i'm right, would be interested if there is anything published - and maybe if you are around, would be interesting to touch base on the phone and chat a little about such work. Hope all is going well and look forward to catching up after a few years indeed!
