Subject	Re: Adjusting Beijing temperature series
Zhongwei, Will read soon ! Attached is what I finally submitted to JGR. Don't pass on to anyone else. I have also received a paper from Li, Q, but have yet to read that. He only sent it yesterday. Cheers Phil At 09:55 22/02/2008, you wrote: Hi, Phil, Attached please find a draft paper about site-changes and urbanization at Beijing. It may be regarded as an extension of our early work (Yan et al 2001 AAS) and therefore I would be happy to ask you to join as a co-author. Regarding your recent paper about UHI effect in China (no doubt upon a large-scale warming in the region), I hope the Beijing case may serve as a helpful rather than a contradictory (as it may appear so) reference. The urbanization-bias at BJ was considerable but could hardly be quantified. I suspect it was somehow overestimated by a recent work (Ren et al 2007). Please feel free to comment and revise. I'll check and complete the reference list, while you may also add in new references Cheers Zhongwei Prof. Phil Jones Climatic Research Unit Telephone +44 (0) 1603 592090 School of Environmental Sciences Fax +44 (0) 1603 507784 University of East Anglia Norwich Email p.jones@uea.ac.uk NR4 7TJ UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
