Dear Dr. Osborn,

I am writing to ask if you would be so kind as to assist me in making an
editorial decision concerning the suitability of publishing:

1) Comment on: A surrogate ensemble study of climate reconstruction
methods: Stochasticity and robustness by Christiansen, Schmith and  
Thejll
(JCLI 3146)

and

2) Reply to Comment on "A surrogate ensemble study .." by Rutherford,  
Mann,
Ammann, Wahl (JCLI 3281)

In particular, I am writing to ask if you would be able to provide me  
with a
review that assesses:

1) The technical merit of the attached comment/reply
2) The clarity of the comment/reply
3) Whether or not the comment/reply is of sufficient merit and  
interest to
the readership of the Journal of Climate to warrant its publication.

In the event you are unable to serve as reviewer for this comment/ 
reply, suggestions of other possible reviewers would be very much  
appreciated.

We appreciate the time and effort needed to careful review  
manuscripts. It is through the advice of experts in the field like  
yourself that the high standards of the Journal of Climate are  
maintained.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Andrew Weaver
Chief Editor for the Journal of Climate
