The comment by Chapman et al and the response cover all the points. I have these as I reviewed them, so don't need them. Suggested at end Huang writes a new paper. Cheers Phil At 19:31 26/01/2004 +0900, you wrote: Dear Dr. Jones: Thank you for agreeing to review "Comment on "Ground vs. surface air temperature trends: Implications for borehole surface temperature reconstructions" by Mann and Schmidt" by Shaopeng Huang. Dr. Mann informed me upon reading the manuscript that they had already essentially addressed all of the comments expressed here in the Reply to the Comment on their paper by Chapman et al. which I had asked you to review, and will not write reply this time. Both the Comment and Reply will be published in GRL in the near future. If you need copies of the Comment by Chapman et al. and the Reply by Schmidt and Mann, please let me know. I'll send pdf files.
