From: "Michael E. Mann" To: Phil Jones Subject: Re: VERY VERY IMPORTANT Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 14:19:20 -0400 Cc: k.briffa@uea.ac.uk, t.osborn@uea.ac.uk, mann@virginia.edu Hi Phil et al, Re, Malcolm co-authorship--big oversight on my part. Can you ask Ellen if we can add his name (i.e., just say it was 'accidentally left off'), where it belongs alphabetically in the list. I've talked to Malcolm on the phone. The PC #1 *is* the right one--but Malcolm has raised the valid point that we need to cover our behinds on what was done here, lest we be vulnerable to the snipings of the Idsos and co (i.e., that non-climatic influences on recent growth were nominally dealt w/, as in MBH99). Malcolm is supposed to be sending some text to Phil. So, can we incorporate his small bit of text, and add his name, and then resubmit to AGU ASAP? Thanks all for all the help here. Now, I better get back to my newlywed wife! mike At 05:25 PM 6/20/2003 +0100, Phil Jones wrote: Mike, Malcolm has just called Keith. He's been with Ray. Apart from probably being a little miffed off he's not on the article, he says that the W. US series in Figure 2 is wrong. He says it looks the first PC (which I said it was), but that this isn't the corrected one (for CO2 growth effects). Can you check whether it is the right one? Malcolm says that Idso (who was on E&E) will say that the increase in that series is not climatic but due to fertilization. This would not look good obviously. Idso was on a paper with Don Graybill re fertilisation effects on bristlecones. If you need to send a revised series for this top series in Fig 2 then send it to Tim. Tim has done this plot so can make the alterations if another series is needed. If you think that the series is OK then we'll leave it. If you do change it will affect Fig 2 of the GRL also but probably not to any noticeable effect - at least at the size the plot will be. Tim will send round the copyright forms to all and reprint forms. Tell Tim if you want any. Seems like the pdf will do. Cheers Phil PS Tell Lorraine I'm not always emailing you - but Malcolm thought the above was important. I assumed you would have sent the corrected one you used in GRL in 1999.
