Hi Tim and Keith - I have some feedback on the MWP box fig, but would 
to first ask that you update us (me and Eystein) about the status of 
your other figs. We have a particularly urgent need to see those that 
are likely to be elevated to the TS (Tech Summary) - a big deal for 
paleo. Can you promise us these by the end of this week, Monday at 
the latest? Again, see my emails of Dec for details.

It would be great to see a new MWP box fig asap too, but this isn't 
as high priority as the TS figs. Eystein and I agree with both Susan 
and Martin that it would be good to see a new MWP box fig that was a 
hybrid of the old fig concept and the new Fig 3b from your Science 
paper. It would be good to have two versions - if space allows, we go 
with the first, otherwise the 2nd:

Both would have your 3b-like plot, and both would have all the 
normalized time series that were used to create the 3b plot (i.e., 
those in Fig. 1 of your paper).

Version 1 - has all the input series stacked on top of each other as 
in your Fig. 1, with the summary Fig 3b-like plot below.

Version 2 - is the same, but the input series are all on the same 
axis like in the FOD MWP box fig.

Now, if you think Version 1 plus caption would be smaller than 
Version 2 plus caption, no need for Version 2. Ditto if Version 1 
plus caption was only a little bigger than V 2 plus caption.

Again, thanks for getting all of your new figs to us asap, 
particularly those targeted for TS consideration.

Many thanks, Peck
