cc: "'Phil Jones'" , , "'Gabi Hegerl'" date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:54:55 -0000 from: "Simon Tett" subject: RE: Collaboration to: Hi Tim (With Keith added to the CC list). One thing we could think about is a consortium bid -- there is a lot of 19th century data to be digitised, worked up and used in model intercomparision work as well as paleo intercomparision. I'm working on a consortium bid for next June in another area but perhaps we could start working our ideas up for such a thing for Dec 2008 or June 2009. (June 2009 feels more sensible as I should have a better idea of how various projects are going by then...). You could invite me to visit UEA to give you a seminar as well.....

I've now had a quick glance through the draft proposal and it certainly sounds very interesting. And given that you've both (especially Simon) been very supportive to our projects in the past, then of course I'd be happy to help you out with some collaboration. As you'd probably expect, however, we (Keith & I) have related plans to work in similar directions and plan future proposals in this area. This won't stop me being a collaborator on your proposal, but it would be nice to get something back -- e.g., use of the simulated data that you will generate at an appropriate time (for collaborative work/papers with you both, of course). Anyway, I'll be in on Monday and I'll sign the letter then that Phil has written. Do you need anything more specific from me about the work Thomas has done with HadCM3?
