   Thought you should see this (in confidence) . Have succeeded in getting reasonable citation
   to your work and much toning down of criticism of Esper et al in first draft  ( see last
   paragraph before Section C) . Cheers
   Keith
   P.S.  Do not ask me why Ray, Malcolm and Phil are on this cause I don't know - work cam out
   of stuff Tim did with Scott when visiting there last year.

     Attached to this e-mail is a revision of the northern hemisphere comparison manuscript.
     First some general comments. I tried as best as possible to incorporate everyone's
     suggestions. Typically this meant adding/deleting or clarifying text. There were cases
     where we disagreed with the suggested changes and tried to clarify in the text why.
     In this next round of changes I encourage everyone to make specific suggestions in terms
     of wording and references (e.g. Rutherford et al. GRL 1967 instead of "see my GRL
     paper").  I also encourage everyone to make suggestions directly in the file in coloured
     text or by using Microsquish Word's "Track Changes" function (this will save me
     deciphering cryptic penmanship; although I confess, my writing is worse than anyone's).
     If you would prefer to use the editing functions in Adobe Acrobat let me know and I will
     send a PDF file. If you still feel strongly that I have not adequately addressed an
     issue please say so.
     I will incorporate the suggestions from this upcoming round into a manuscript to be
     submitted. After review, everyone will get a crack at it again.
     I will not detail every change made (if anyone wants the file with the changes tracked I
     can send it).  Here are the major changes:
     1) removal of mixed-hybrid approach and revised discussions/figures
     2) removal of CE scores from the verification tables
     3) downscaling of the Esper comparison to a single figure panel and one paragraph.
     4) revised discussion of spatial maps and revised figure (figure 8).
     5) seasonal comparisons have been revised
     Several suggestions have been made for where to submit. These are listed on page 1 of
     the manuscript. Please indicate your preference ASAP and I will tally the votes.
     I would like to submit by late July, so if you could please get me comments by say July
     15 that would be great. I will send out a reminder in early July.  If I don't hear from
     you by July 15 I will assume that you are comfortable with the manuscript.
     Please let me know if you have difficulty with the file or would prefer a different
     format.
     Regards,
     Scott
