I would like it if each section leader (David 6.3; Bette 6.4, followed by Dom tomorrow, and Keith, 6.6) would look at what Valerie proposes for your sections and make the appropriate revisions or not. I know this sounds like a broken record, but we have to cut a couple pages. Valerie's analysis is worthwhile, and I think section 6.4 really has to come down in size. Sorry. Bette, can you pick up where Valerie left off with respect to sea level. Eystein was going to work on that, but I think you should give it a shot so we don't put him back in the hospital (I think he's coming home today, shich is good). Keith's section is much harder to cut, due to the very high visibility of that section, and the clear directives from Susan and reviewers to do as Keith has done regarding temp change of the last 1300 years. We might be able to cut some of the latter subsections in that section - Keith, please weigh in! Others too. Note that our Exec Summary is still deemed by some as too long, so getting rid of some less important bullets and the prose that supports them might be a good way to go - thus our chapter would cover less, but still do the job really well with what we do cover. If Susan or reviewers want cut material back it, well, we'll get more pages. But, we have to come in close to 35 final pages this time around. Please let me know if the above plan won't work, and thanks for this final effort towards the SOD. thanks, Peck thanks, Peck >Dear all > >Please find comments on the draft. > >Today there are 13 pages for the glacial >interglacial time scale (most for the LGM in >fact), 6 for the Holocene and 15 for the past >2000 years (if I am correct). > >- I suggest to shorten slightly the ancient climate part > >- I suggest to shorten slighlty the LGM >model-data comparison part (a bit less precision >in the regional orders of magnitude is I think >acceptable) > >- Some of the sea level section has to be >shortned.
