Subject	Re[2]: IPCC Chapter 13 - invitation to contribute
Dear Mike, thanks for your message. I am sure we can work with these files as soon as we know how the grid is organized. Is it line by line from the North to the South, starting at the dateline? Or something different? Yes indeed, it would be the best to work with *your* 61-90 baseline for this. Does the baseline also contain cloudiness? If not, then I intend to generate that from our own files, and we will make the assumption that, on the level of monthly means, this does not change as much as to significantly affect the sensitivity of vegetation to the other forcings. As for a minor point, please remember to use my pik-address whenever possible. The other two (csi and t-online) are both used for sending mail while I am on the road (csi) or at home (t-online), and particularly t-online has the drawback that I can ONLY access it from home (presently) and not from the lab. Unfortunately, I cannot convince my mail sending software to always pretend the mail comes from PIK... Yes, I will come to the ACACIA meeting, at least until the second day in the afternoon - after that I have to juggle two other meetings in Holland and Germany. With some luck, I should be able to present some results there. Best wishes! Wolfgang PS: I saw your correspondence with Kinne and am interested to follow up - but not today. On Dienstag, 2.
