   Makes sense to me. More soon, best, peck

     Hi, in my opinion, there is nothing new in the Wegman report. In addition it seems that
     it is not peer reviewed, in contrast to the NAS report. The views concerning centering
     and other technical issues are referred to in the litterature (M&M, von Storch,
     Wahl/Amman, Rutherford) hence I dont think it is required for our work.

     Cheers,

     Eystein

     Hi Eystein and Keith - what do you think of this doc and Martin's email. Anything in
     this report, Keith, that needs to be cited? I agree w/ Martin's analysis.

     thanks, peck

     Dear Eystein and Peck
     Among the contributions to "additional papers" that met our final deadline of July 24th,
     we received a submission of the Wegman report. I imagine that you are aware of this
     report but am attaching a copy here just in case.
     We did not include this in the additional papers that we have sent you so far because,
     unlike the others, it has not been accepted by a scientific journal and there seem to be
     conflicting accounts as to whether it has been peer-reviewed or not. The Wegman report
     could be cited in the WG1-AR4 under IPCC rules but we would suggest that, in considering
     whether there is any merit in doing so, your primary consideration should be whether or
     not it includes additional scientific points or analyses that are not covered by
     literature that is already cited from the peer reviewed journals.
     We also received a copy of the recent NAS report on surface temperature reconstructions
     but, as we know you already have that, we did not forward another copy to you.
     Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and good luck with completing the
     final draft of your chapter.
     Regards
     Martin
