    Peter,
       Will make that mod. Yes Davis a good idea and Fiona.
    A comment on that bad paper will go off early next week.
    Have a good weekend.
    Cheers

     I think this is good to go to our respective non-scientific FOI officers. I could also
     pass by David Parker's nose as he is always good at picking things or Fiona Carroll who
     has a comms to public hat on.

      On page 2 I think you mean "In developing gridded temperature datasets it is important
     to use as much station [1]data [as possible]  to fully characterise ...". Otherwise no
     further changes to suggest right now.

     I will forward this on to Marion and await your guidance ref any further distribution.

      Peter,
         Think we are nearly there. Have to say third parties as that is what the agreements
      or our letters say.
        Let me know if this is OK. If so pass onto Marion.
      On WMO Res 40 - I could add that NMSs get around this by saying that it
      only applies to real-time data and not necessarily to data in an NMS digital archive.
      Hope you like the bit about KNMI, GPCC and the ETCCDI workshops.
       No one has responded to the Guardian blog piece.

      This leads to a piece by Monbiot berating skeptics.
       Maybe there is a reason to buy the EDP - well tomorrow anyway!

      Might lead to a film of the book - just like Atonement.....   can't see the role for
     Keira Knightly.

       Peter,
          Have a look through this.  Getting bounces on earlier emails today.
       I've sent you 3 earlier today - one with stuff in about Keith.
         FOI person away here today. Good if we can get this text agreed by
     Monday.
       Cheers
