If a visit to CRU is requested , I would be happy to take part in a general discussion. Thanks Keith At 10:11 AM 9/17/01 +0100, you wrote: Does anyone have a strong desire to meet him? Otherwise, I guess Phil and I can handle it. Phil - do you want me to reply?

As you will know energy demand and supply is heavily dependant on climate, weather and weather forecasts. Also, increasingly, global energy demand and supply depends on climate and weather around the whole northern hemisphere. Our devoted weather research and synoptic forecasting team based in our Houston office, and myself here in London, are extremely interested in the potential for collaborative University-University and University-Industry applied research projects, particularly between joint US/European research institutes and ourselves. We are interested in all aspects of Meteorology from new ideas in theoretical atmospheric physics through more practical aspects such as short-range deterministic forecasting, medium-range ensemble forecasting and long-range seasonal/climatic forecasting and analysis. My colleagues from Houston (who are currently planning visits to research institutes on the US side in the near future) will be in London in early November and I would very much like to set up an introductory meeting with the heads of the research groups at The Climatic Research Unit to introduce ourselves to you and discuss possible areas of mutual research interest. If this is something that you would be interesting in setting up, or if you can direct me to a more suitable group or individuals at The University of East Anglia, please let me know and we can hopefully arrange a date for sometime in early November. I am currently in Houston, but hope to be able to return to London early next week depending on the current tragic situation here in the US. I can be contacted by email in the meantime. Look forward to the opportunity of meeting with you in the near future. In confidence, Tony Hamilton _______________________________________ Dr. Tony Hamilton Senior Specialist, Meteorology and Forecasting Weather Research Enron Europe Ltd.
