    Hans,
      Thanks very much. The update is great and the colouring makes it easier
    to view. Also as the message is the same, that is good also. Will add
    a sentence on the now clearer recent decline.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear Phil,

     Recently I updated the pressure series and then now this weak I calculated an update of
     the figure also! I also made some checks and found some errors (esp Danish series) so
     that there should be some minor differences with previous figures. They will also change
     due to the fact that with a longer period you get new mean value and standard deviations
     used for the standardization. But the main message is still there: a decline up to
     around 1965, a rapid rise to about 1990 and then a clear decline. Looking at individual
     triangles I noticed that for the northernmost triangles the latest years had really high
     values!

     I managed to export an eps-file from my Matlab. Hopefully that is OK. In that figure
     blue rings and the blue line denotes the 95-percentile while red crosses and red line is
     the 99-percentile.

     Best greetings from another non-Euro member!

     Hasse Alexandersson

     mne: Help with a Figure

           Hans,

           We are using a figure of yours in the First Order Draft of the Observations
      Chapter of AR4. The figure is 3.8.4 and has this caption
     Figure 3.8.4: Storm index for British Isles, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, 18811998. Dots
     are 95-percentiles and crosses 99-percentiles of standardized geostrophic winds averaged
     over 10 sets of triangles of stations. The smoothed curves (solid for 95-percentiles)
     are obtained by a Gaussian low pass filter (Alexandersson et al., 2000).
       The copy we have has probably been pulled from a pdf file. We are trying to get
      .eps files for all figures, so the quality will be better, both for reviewing and also
      eventually in the final version.  Can you send us an eps version?
        Ideally we would like this as soon as possible, but by Aug 11. If you're away,
      it isn't a problem, and we'll add it later.
      Cheers
      Phil
