cc: Martin Manning , Susan Solomon , IPCC-WG1 date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 11:26:14 -0700 from: Melinda Marquis subject: Copy-edited Ch. 3 files to: Kevin Trenberth , Phil Jones Dear CLAs, Thank you very much for your invaluable assistance during the recent SPM plenary meeting. As you will realise there are a few remaining steps that need to be completed before final completion of the WG1-AR4 but these should now be straightforward. This is to ask for your help in the next of these steps which is to check the copy-edited version of your chapter. A professional copy-editor has reviewed all chapters of the AR4 and made some revisions. In most cases, her suggestions implement our style guide (see attached) for consistency in punctuation, spelling, grammar and language style across all chapters, points at which acronyms are spelled out, etc, etc. In a few cases, she has suggested revised wording for the sake of clarity, improved grammar or such. All these changes that might have some effect on the meaning of a sentence are shown in track-changes mode. We would be grateful if you would now go through these edited chapter files and either accept, reject, or modify the copy-editor's tracked revisions and return "cleaned up" files to the TSU. During this step you should also: * make any remaining necessary and minor corrections to text or tables; * ensure that any corrections or updates provided to the TSU since the distribution of the final draft in October 2006, have been included; * update references that have been published recently by inserting volume and page numbers, etc; * add any adjustments to your chapter that arose from the SPM approval process in Paris. Please return a checked file to us with all tracked changes removed. Please also remember to check your figures and figure captions carefully including the axis labels, units used, etc. Annotated text should already have been edited to follow the styles used in the tex t where appropriate. In some cases we will be doing further improvements to the text fonts used in f igures but this is your last chance to ensure that the wording is correct in all places. If you wish to make any small revisions to figures, please contact Kristen Averyt ([1]averyt@ucar.edu) as soon as possible. Please remember that no substantive changes, or new references, can be made to your chapter at this stage. The time line for delivering the camera-ready copy to the publisher is quite tight. We ask that you please return your final text and figures files to the TSU by Friday, March 9. You may access your chapter files at the following ftp site. server: [2]ftp.joss.ucar.edu account: wg1_gnrl password: EQ0KW0WG (Please note that these are zeros - not letters.) directory: pub/AR4_CopyEditFinal/ChXX The file names currently contain "_TSU." We ask that you change these characters to "_CLA" in the files you return to us. Finally please notify us at [3]ipcc-wg1@al.noaa.gov when you have uploaded the checked files.
