    Kevin,
        Hopefully Brian Soden is just away for a 2 week vacation. If not this doesn't augur
   well.
    Sarah Raper told me that Ambenje was at Maynooth last month for the IPCC meeting there.
        The additional list sent from WG1 contains a FEW useful names.  There are some who
    are CLAs/LAs on other chapters (Forster, Hegerl, Hewitson, Karoly, Lean, Nicholls,
   Peterson
     and Villalba). Of those only Neville Nicholls, Bruce Hewitson and Tom Peterson would
   likely
    have been useful.
        As for the others, there are loads I've never heard of. Useful ones might be Baldwin,
    Benestad (written on the solar/cloud issue - on the right side, i.e anti-Svensmark),
    Bohm, Brown, Christy (will be have to involve him ?), Dai (good), Fraedrich (circulation),
    Frei (good, for extremes), Fyfe (circulation), Gallo, Groisman, Hanssen-Bauer (OK),
    Hurrell (good), King (good for Antarctic), Kodera, Kunkel (has written stuff, but never
   met him),
    McBride (OK, but will he do anything in our timeframe), Nobre (simialr to McBride),
    Power (good), Rayner (good but will mostly be in the oceans chapter), Salinger (knows the
    ropes), Seidel (good), Stephenson (just about OK), Vose (probably) and Zhang. There are
    a few others (e.g. Ramaswamy, but they seem more appropriate elsewhere in AR4).
    WRT to Aiguo and Jim with you, there are three people here in CRU (Tim Osborn, Clare
   Goodess
    and Malcolm Haylock) who could also be useful. Malcolm is putting together the European
    part of the background on extremes that Dave Easterling mentioned. Tim Carter is
    co-ordinating this for WGII. Should be available for end of June. Malcolm is collecting
    references with a bit of text. I have the S. American part. I'll email this when have all
    continents - should be useful for Trieste.
      There are a number of S. Americans for Matilde to use. Will likely need to try to use
    Bruce Hewitson to make sure we have decent Africans. Can discuss with Bruce in Trieste.
    The extremes workshop attached to the IMSC went well, so he should know whether
    we have any good ones.
      There are a few I would want nothing to do with - Gerstengarbe, Michaels, Schoenwiese.
    Also like to avoid Grassl and Gruza and probably Ogallo.
       Just a few quick thoughts on the list. Move is still set for June 25 - will be away
   from June 23
    for about 2 weeks. Will occasionally come in a couple of times a week for an hour or
    two.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Now we have contact with Zhai.
     We have now contact with all except Soden and Ambenje.  I sent emails to both GFDL and
     Miami for Soden and also called both places.  Left messages but no luck so far.  FYI.
     Formally he is still with GFDL but my understanding is that he is in RSMAS at U Miami
     most of the time:
     [1]b.soden@miami.edu  ph (305) 361 5057.

     Hi Kevin,
     Susan forwarded your email to me and asked that I look into your problems contacting
     Soden, Zhai, and Ambenje.
     I know that Ambenje was having problems with his [4]ambenje@lion.meteo.go.ke account and
     has been corresponding via his [5]omash01@yahoo.com account.  I just want to confirm
     that you are using the yahoo account?  We have had sporadic email correspondence from
     him due to his work email not being functional and his checking his yahoo account
     infrequently, but he does respond eventually.
     Zhai - are you getting a bounce?  We have had some problems getting emails through to
     cma.cn from both our noaa and ucar addresses. My understanding is that cma, noaa, and
     ucar IT folks are working on finding a solution...but let me know if bouncing is or is
     not the problem.
     Soden - we have had email communication with him without incident (but not for awhile),
     so I have no ideas there unless it is a vacation issue.
     Hope this helps...
     Cheers,
     Melinda
