   Sarah,
   I realize that you have got a copy of this.
   What I am concerned about is the use of MAGICC in AR4. It is likely that
   the only way that MAGICC can be legitimately used is for it to be (again!)
   calibrated against the various AOGCMs being run for AR4. The AOGCM
   data that will be available this time will allow us to do this more comprehensively
   than your TAR analysis. I think this is something we should do together this time.
   I will talk to Jerry Meehl about this tomorrow or next week, and also discuss
   how best to do this statistically with Doug Nychka -- with a view to submitting
   a joint proposal. I would also like to involve Ben, since he is adept at getting
   appropriate data from PCMDI/CMIP data files, and he can add insights that
   we may otherwise miss. So the proposal would involve you, me, Doug and Ben.
   Tom.
