   Sounds good Martin. Keith, Tim - are you out there? Please help by ensuring we're doing the
   right thing w Fig 6.13 and table 6.2

     Hi Peck
     Thanks for the provisional "go ahead" - we can (and so will) wait till Monday before
     changing the master copy of the chapter here.
     Regards
     Martin

     Hi Martin - this seems ok to me. I hope we hear from Tim and Keith - they are the key
     folks on this one. If we don't hear from them, then we go with what you have done. Seems
     quite reasonable to me, and I'm sorry we caused the TSU this extra work.
     Thanks again, Peck

     Dear Jonathan
     Thanks for trying to sort this out quickly for us and for the information that the
     Ammann et al paper is not available.
     Susan and I have discussed your two options and have to say that we can not agree to
     option 1 in the circumstances. Although the Jones and Mann (2004) paper shows the NCAR
     simulation, the key point is that it cites it as "C. Ammann et al private communication
     2003". So in effect option 1 would be bringing in material that was not peer reviewed
     and not even separately documented. Anyone wanting to discredit your chapter would
     highlight the fact that you appear to be depending on work done in 2003 that had still
     not been peer-reviewed.
     Option 2 is the only way to meet the standard that we have set all along of basing the
     assessment very firmly on peer reviewed literature.
     Kristen Averyt found that she could edit the EPS files that you had sent us earlier for
     Fig 6.13 and take out the curves in question labelled AJS2006. The result is attached.
     If you can confirm that this edited figure looks correct we are now proposing to drop
     that into your chapter in place of the original one. We would also remove the [S4] row
     in Table 6.2 referring to this study. We would also of course use the edited version of
     the figure in the TS (Fig TS-26 in current draft).
     If you can see any other implications of this approach to resolving the problem that we
     need to be aware of please let me know.  If the author team wants to provide a redrawn
     figure that might be an improvement on the attached version we can still wait until
     Monday morning for that.
     Best regards
     Martin

     Hi Keith and Tim - need FAST help. Figure 6.13, and Table 6.2 cite Amman et al., for the
     CSM curve. Since this paper doesn't yet exist in "in press" form (I checked w/ Bette,
     who is a co-author), we have two choices. I think choice one below could be ok, but want
     to have confirmation from Keith or Tim, and it it's not ok, (NOTE) Tim and Keith need to
     get new Fig and Table to Melinda and Martin at the TSU by Monday.
     Option 1: we can cite Jones, P.D., and M.E. Mann, 2004: Climate over past millennia.
     Reviews of Geophysics, 42(2) - this paper (already in references - there is hope!) has
     the CSM simulation in its Fig 8, but of course it's not the idea original reference
     describing the simulation.
     Option 2: we (Tim) creates new fig 6.13, and Table 6.2 without any reference to this
     simulation.
     PLEASE NOTE - if Keith and Tim (or Martin) feels we must go w/ option 2, Tim has to send
     the new fig and table to TSU (Melinda Marguis and Martin) by Monday AM at the absolute
     latest.

     Thanks for your quick help, Peck
