date: Thu Jun 10 09:20:48 2004 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: [Fwd: Email Contact Issues] to: Kevin Trenberth Kevin, Hopefully Brian Soden is just away for a 2 week vacation. If not this doesn't augur well. Sarah Raper told me that Ambenje was at Maynooth last month for the IPCC meeting there. The additional list sent from WG1 contains a FEW useful names. There are some who are CLAs/LAs on other chapters (Forster, Hegerl, Hewitson, Karoly, Lean, Nicholls, Peterson and Villalba). Of those only Neville Nicholls, Bruce Hewitson and Tom Peterson would likely have been useful. As for the others, there are loads I've never heard of. Useful ones might be Baldwin, Benestad (written on the solar/cloud issue - on the right side, i.e anti-Svensmark), Bohm, Brown, Christy (will be have to involve him ?), Dai (good), Fraedrich (circulation), Frei (good, for extremes), Fyfe (circulation), Gallo, Groisman, Hanssen-Bauer (OK), Hurrell (good), King (good for Antarctic), Kodera, Kunkel (has written stuff, but never met him), McBride (OK, but will he do anything in our timeframe), Nobre (simialr to McBride), Power (good), Rayner (good but will mostly be in the oceans chapter), Salinger (knows the ropes), Seidel (good), Stephenson (just about OK), Vose (probably) and Zhang. There are a few others (e.g. Ramaswamy, but they seem more appropriate elsewhere in AR4). WRT to Aiguo and Jim with you, there are three people here in CRU (Tim Osborn, Clare Goodess and Malcolm Haylock) who could also be useful. Malcolm is putting together the European part of the background on extremes that Dave Easterling mentioned. Tim Carter is co-ordinating this for WGII. Should be available for end of June. Malcolm is collecting references with a bit of text. I have the S. American part. I'll email this when have all continents - should be useful for Trieste. There are a number of S. Americans for Matilde to use. Will likely need to try to use Bruce Hewitson to make sure we have decent Africans. Can discuss with Bruce in Trieste. The extremes workshop attached to the IMSC went well, so he should know whether we have any good ones. There are a few I would want nothing to do with - Gerstengarbe, Michaels, Schoenwiese. Also like to avoid Grassl and Gruza and probably Ogallo. Just a few quick thoughts on the list. Move is still set for June 25 - will be away from June 23 for about 2 weeks. Will occasionally come in a couple of times a week for an hour or two. Cheers Phil At 08:45 09/06/2004 -0600, you wrote: Phil Now we have contact with Zhai. We have now contact with all except Soden and Ambenje. I sent emails to both GFDL and Miami for Soden and also called both places. Left messages but no luck so far. FYI. Formally he is still with GFDL but my understanding is that he is in RSMAS at U Miami most of the time: [1]b.soden@miami.edu ph (305) 361 5057. Kevin -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Email Contact Issues Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 15:13:10 -0600 From: Melinda Tignor [2] To: [3]trenbert@cgd.ucar.edu Hi Kevin, Susan forwarded your email to me and asked that I look into your problems contacting Soden, Zhai, and Ambenje. I know that Ambenje was having problems with his [4]ambenje@lion.meteo.go.ke account and has been corresponding via his [5]omash01@yahoo.com account. I just want to confirm that you are using the yahoo account? We have had sporadic email correspondence from him due to his work email not being functional and his checking his yahoo account infrequently, but he does respond eventually. Zhai - are you getting a bounce? We have had some problems getting emails through to cma.cn from both our noaa and ucar addresses. My understanding is that cma, noaa, and ucar IT folks are working on finding a solution...but let me know if bouncing is or is not the problem. Soden - we have had email communication with him without incident (but not for awhile), so I have no ideas there unless it is a vacation issue. Hope this helps...
