We have a particularly urgent need to see those that are likely to be elevated to the TS (Tech Summary) - a big deal for paleo. Can you promise us these by the end of this week, Monday at the latest? Again, see my emails of Dec for details. It would be great to see a new MWP box fig asap too, but this isn't as high priority as the TS figs. Eystein and I agree with both Susan and Martin that it would be good to see a new MWP box fig that was a hybrid of the old fig concept and the new Fig 3b from your Science paper. It would be good to have two versions - if space allows, we go with the first, otherwise the 2nd: Both would have your 3b-like plot, and both would have all the normalized time series that were used to create the 3b plot (i.e., those in Fig. 1 of your paper). Version 1 - has all the input series stacked on top of each other as in your Fig. 1, with the summary Fig 3b-like plot below. Version 2 - is the same, but the input series are all on the same axis like in the FOD MWP box fig. Now, if you think Version 1 plus caption would be smaller than Version 2 plus caption, no need for Version 2. Ditto if Version 1 plus caption was only a little bigger than V 2 plus caption. Again, thanks for getting all of your new figs to us asap, particularly those targeted for TS consideration. Many thanks, Peck -- Jonathan T.
