Hi Phil,

Thanks for the updates, and thanks for going through the ms. Hopefully 
it won't take as long as the CC ms....... It is available via: 
http://www.springerlink.com/content/100247/?Content+Status=Accepted

I'll contact Harry for the precip and temp. data.

Have a good time in the US!

Cheers, Gerard
