date: Sat Nov 10 16:00:10 2001 from: Mike Hulme subject: Re: min/max trends, conf to: geoff.levermore@umist.ac.uk Geoff, I am happy to give a keynote talk - the context of climate change and something about what Tyndall is doing? Our new UKCIP02 climate scenarios will be out by then. Mike At 09:41 08/11/01 +0000, you wrote: Mike, This is for the HadCM3 data for SE and SW England. It has been suggested that this is due to the solar model and we are investigating. David can send the graphs if you want. Ben Brabson also picked this up with his GEV modelling. There is also this trend on Heathrow data for the last 30 years but there may well be heat island effects here. I agree, it is against the general climate trend of rising tmin and stationary tmax. David Lister and David Chow will have the analyses for CET but the trend is not nearly so marked, if present, from memory. At our conf in April I do not expect Schellnhuber to come, although I've asked for confirmation by Feb. Could you give a keynote in his place or do you want Brian L to do it? David Fisk, Max Fordham Pres CIBSE, and Dave Easterling will be other keynote speakers with some words from CIB Sec General Wim Bakens.
