Subject	Re: where I am !!!! !
Eystein in theory - it is supposed to be finished. I would just remove the two sections I suggested (or certainly move the regional simulation stuff into Ricardo's section. How does end note cope with references that are not published? Keith At 13:26 12/01/2005, you wrote: Hi Keith, I am in transit back to Bergen where there is a strong storm at present, but just a query to ask what you think a a realistic time fframe for your part. I will be reding through it on the way. If you have problems getting the references in, this is something we can help with, if you just write i text author name, year and paper, then we download from the ISI base and enter into End Note here, just to help you prioritising the text and figures. Thanks for all your efforts. This is a critical part of the Chapter and the most complex and it seems to progress well, despite the strains. Cheers, Eystein Basically , I need to send this to you to because there comes a point when I am just not able to read it objectively. I would really like you both - and David and Stefan (I am ccing to them only) to look at it . Obviously it has grown too much, but the information in here is in my opinion all important. I suggest removing the regional simulations stuff from the end (as David said earlier!) but feel this should be somewhere - also (sorry Eystein) perhaps the ocean section should go? I have dropped the proposed Figure 2 _ after wasting a lot of time on it - there are too many problems with getting and understanding data - and then making any sensible conclusion on the basis of it. We really must have the two Figures left though - or some variants (these need borehole curves including and some way of indicating envelope of uncertainty around all reconstructions - perhaps as gray shading of different darkness depending on how may confidence limits overlap). I would really appreciate a dispassionate look by all of you at the conclusions drawn after the the desciption of both Figures - in the light of the discussion we had about interpreting these Figures. I am really happy if you and David and Stefan (and Fortunat?) consider what is worth and not worth trying to say re the implications of these Figures, beyond the TAR. I can not tell if what I am saying is balanced (I know Esper reconstruction is very hairy and ECHO-G run has much too great long-term variability - but no evidence PUBLISHED to support this - yet at least). Is what I say about the implications of the reconstructions banal? I have been battling with teaching today and fucked up course scheduling by the administration that has outraged some students. Tomorrow I must take daughter back for new term in Cambridge - and now must work on proposal for Russian who leaves Thursday and needs to submit before then. Do have a look and trim , cross reference as needed. The nightmare with these references continues also and I will have to get someone to help out here - incidentally our secretary has gone absent for a month . I will be back in hopefully by tomorrow afternoon . The conclusions (bullets?) should be very brief - but can not see them yet - suggestions welcome I can try to do something for the methods but would rather you just told me exactly what is needed. I will then work on this Thursday and likely happy to accept what you say re this text. I know I have not contributed to the discussing on other sections - very frustrating - but must wait til after ZOD .
