I think you said last night you had the pdf of the paper. Here's another pdf of a different paper just out. Here are some email addresses! Jean Palutikof Mick Kelly Mick is still doing Tiempo ! Hiya Henry Phil passed on the message. Here's what I've been up to on the non-academic front since moving here... [1]http://www.uea.ac.uk/~f030/news/news%20071101.htm The main house, which is currently at the design stage, will have a rather large study/library/meeting room but probably not quite big enough for a conference! However, we have identified a great conference centre to the north of us (near where Bill Gates was just holidaying so must be good). With best wishes for 2008 Mick Hi Phil See [2]http://www.tiempocyberclimate.org/newswatch/ Or if you don't check the link this week...

International Journal of Climatology paper (and other interested parties), I have now publicly released the synthetic MSU tropical lower tropospheric temperatures that were the subject of Mr. Stephen McIntyre's request to the U.S. Dept. of Energy/National Nuclear Security Agency under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). I have also released additional synthetic MSU temperatures which were not requested by Mr. McIntyre. These synthetic MSU datasets are available on PCMDI's publicly-accessible website. The link to the datasets is: [7]http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/projects/msu/index.php Technical information about the synthetic MSU datasets is provided in a document entitled: "Information regarding synthetic Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) temperatures calculated from CMIP-3 archive" The link to the technical document is: [8]http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/projects/msu/MSU_doc.pdf I hope that these datasets will prove useful for bona fide scientific research, and will be employed for such purposes only. I am also hopeful that after publication of these datasets, I will be able to return to full-time research, unencumbered by further FOIA requests from Mr. McIntyre. In my opinion, Mr. McIntyre's FOIA requests are for the purpose of harassing Government scientists, and not for the purpose of improving our understanding of the nature and causes of climate change. I'd like to thank Dave Bader, Bill Goldstein, and Pat Berge for helping me complete the process of reviewing, releasing, and publishing the synthetic MSU datasets and the technical document. And thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement over the past two months. It is deeply appreciated.
