If it was necessary to have a participant from Hamburg , I would support Eduardo . best wishes Keith At 14:39 26/08/2005, Heinz Wanner wrote: Dear Christoph, I have only a few additional comments concerning the planned workshop. First of all, I support this concept. Related to the topics, I heavily support to organize a discussion about how we can reconstruct different paremeters independently. It is important to try to reconstruct air pressure as a basic circulation parameter - if possible. Concerning the participants: - Write GooSSe; - Mikami from Japan (Tokyo Metropolitan University) could be an interesting Asian participant; - You mentioned Kevin Trenberth or Mark Cane. Both are absolutely okay, but why not invite a younger colleague like Mike Evans from Tucson? - If Phil and Mike do not support von Storch it does not make sense to invite him (and Eduardo Zorita?); - For me Ulrich Cubasch is an interesting modeler with good ideas about paleomodeling. Maybe Gavin can comment this when he is back from his China trip?
