cc: Phil Jones date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:31:00 -0600 from: Kevin Trenberth subject: IPCC AR4 Chapter 3 galleys to: Brian Soden , "Parker, David" , Jim Renwick , Albert Klein Tank Hi all Yesterday I was at a seminar and Susan was there. She had with her a full color typeset copy of our chapter. She was thrilled with it but going over it carefully before we get it. FYI, Phil and I dealt with the copy-editing fairly promptly. Once again we are leading the way. Our chapter will be the first sent out in galley form for proof reading. In part this is also because I have 4 trips in April and I am tied up after April 6. Accordingly, our goal is to complete the proof reading by then or soon after: Phil will be available. Phil and I have decided we would like the help of you four to do the proof reading. As you know we have 100 pages or so and thus one gets weary reading after a while and one tends to see what you expect to see rather than what is really there. Accordingly, we decided to ask for your help in proof reading. The task is for you to focus on specific sections and go over those carefully. Of course you may browse the rest. The suggestion is that we allocate this as follows David Parker, sections 3.2, 3.3, Appendix 3A and FAQ 3.1 Brian Soden; section 3.4 and FAQ 3.2 Jim Renwick: sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 Albert Klein-Tank: sections 3.8 and FAQ 3.3 Now the problem is that there have been a number (quite a lot) of very minor changes in the copy editing stage. Many are stylistic to make things uniform among chapters. Some Phil and I objected to and we do not know if those held or were changed again. Also there were several problems with figures that crept in. I am attaching the correction list we sent back. At this stage we must not change things just because we can make it better. We should change it if it is wrong. I am sending this now to alert you that this could well happen next week. Let us know if you are unavailable. I am not sure whether to send to you the copy edited version of the text or not? Thanks Kevin -- **************** Kevin E.
