date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 01:49:57 -0700 (PDT) from: shorn b subject: hello from Geneva to: m.hulme@uea.ac.uk Mike, Thanks for your message. I am in Geneva trying to help with climate-related activities - back in London next week. I am aware of Dr Ando's stuff but thanks for reminding me as I should look at it again. I have a copy of the book back in London. Also, can I ask a few questions about COP5 brochure? I went through all the minutes and seem to have missed the conclusion about the population scenario problem. i.e. s550 should be IS92d but all assessments use IS92a. What happened to the IIASA scenarios? We have addressed this in the health text but do you think Geoff will delete it? Also, we find that we are worse off for malaria under s550 than s750 - has Geoff circulated a description of these scenarios (e.g. saying why 550 is wetter than 750, or other differences between them). If so, could you send me a copy to this address (I am here till friday). Are you off to watch the eclipse- we get 90% in Geneva. bye for now and best wishes Sari > > > > ***************************************************************************** > Dr Mike Hulme > Reader in Climatology tel: +44 1603 > 593162 > Climatic Research Unit fax: +44 1603 > 507784 > School of Environmental Science email: > m.hulme@uea.ac.uk > University of East Anglia web site: > http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~mikeh/ > Norwich NR4 7TJ > ***************************************************************************** > Annual mean temperature in Central England > for 1999 > is currently about +1.4 deg C above the > 1961-90 average > > *************************************************** > The global-mean surface air temperature > anomaly for 1998 > was +0.57 deg C above the 1961-90 average, the > warmest year yet recorded > ***************************************************************************** > === ************************ Sari Kovats is working at WHO, Geneva, until 13th August 99.
