   Hello all:


   Yes, Martin, the paper you sent today is indeed an old version, and should be replaced by
   the NCAR pdf version.


   This old version sent today is actually older than the Feb 21 version I mentioned yesterday
   (see below), and has no relevance in terms of the text that is accepted/in press with
   Climatic Change as of February 28, 2006.


   As I mentioned yesterday (see below), the text of the UCAR pdf is identical to the WORD
   version I sent to Peck, Keith, and Eyestein on February 24.


   Peace, Gene

   Dear Peck et al
   Thanks for clearing this up. The bottom line is that the version of this paper on the UCAR
   site is fine. Unfortunately though, the one we have on the IPCC WG1 web site is not!
   I am attaching a copy of that for clarity. The metadata in this PDF file indicate that it
   was created by Oyvind Paasche from a Word document in early March when we were asking the
   chapter teams to provide copies of the unpublished literature. It seems that Oyvind worked
   from an earlier and significantly shorter version  - less text, fewer tables and the
   figures are different - as you can see in the attached. Although to repeat my earlier
   statement the conclusions of this earlier draft do not appear to me to be substantially
   different.
   Based on what we now know, the TSU should add the NCAR version of the paper to our review
   web site and we will do that today.
   Thanks
   Martin

   Thanks all who have commented. Below is the likely final word unless Martin needs more
   clarification. Seem ok, Martin? Sorry for the confusion. Guess some reviewers are running
   out of substantive issues, so that might be a sign that we're getting close to the final
   draft...
   Best, Peck
   >From Caspar:

   Dear all, yes the UCAR version can be considered the "official" one. I changed the order of
   pages because I needed to separate the "primary content" of the paper from its
   "supplement"; thus I moved tables xS, figure 1S and its caption to the end. Everything else
   is identical.

   >From Keith:
   "the differences are as I understand , insubstantial and not pertinent to the
   interpretation used in preparing the draft."

   Hello Peck, Martin, Bette, Eystein, Caspar:
    I just double checked the UCAR website version with the pdf version I have, and they are
   identical with the exception that the supplemental tables (Tables 1S and 2S), and
   supplemental figure caption and figure (Figure 1S) are placed at the very end of the
   document in the UCAR version.  The content is identical in both versions.

    The text (including tables and figure captions) of the UCAR pdf is also identical to the
   WORD text that I sent to Peck, Keith Briffa, and Eyestein Jansen on February 24.  There was
   a version sent on February 21, which the February 24 version superceded.  There were 3
   words changed on p. 17, and some changes made to Appendix 1 in the February 24 version.
   Perhaps this difference between the 2/21 and 2/24 versions is the cause of the differences
   that Martin has seen.

   [Note:  I would have sent the graphics separately with these versions, and I did not keep
   copies of the sent files in my email account -- to deal with memory limits in the system
   here.  Thus, I cannot confirm exactly which graphic files are associated with the February
   24 version.  My apologies.]

   In summary, the UCAR website pdf document should be considered the official one that is
   "accepted/in press".  Formal notification of acceptance from Stephen Schneider at Climatic
   Change came on February 28.  The article is still in this status.

   Let me know if I can help clarify things futher.  Please note that I will be in Boulder
   starting May 27, to be a visiting scholar at NCAR for a month.  I will be keeping up with
   email from there.

   Hi Martin - We'll look into this asap. I'll cc to Caspar and Gene to see if they can
   clarify the situation and make sure we have the correct version. I'll also cc Bette since
   she may see Caspar around NCAR and make sure he know's we are trying to clarify things with
   his paper.
   More soon, thx, Peck
           Dear Eystein and Jonathan
           It has been pointed out to us by a reviewer that the version of the Wahl and Amman
   paper (accepted by Climatic Change) on our review web site differs from the version that is
   available publicly from the NCAR web site at:
           [

   [2]http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/ammann/millennium/refs/WahlAmmann_ClimaticChange_inPress.pdf
   <[3]http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/ccr/ammann/millennium/refs/WahlAmmann_ClimaticChange_inPress.pd
   f>     ]
           Although the differences are not (in my view) substantial, the paper on the NCAR
   web site is apparently dated Feb 24th (i.e. before the date of final submission of the
   SOD), it has additional figures and data, and the running header says "Feb 24, .... in
   press".
           Could you please clarify which of the two versions of this paper would reflect most
   accurately the status of the paper as used by the Chapter 6 team when preparing the SOD.
   That has been our basis for deciding on which version to include on our reviewer web pages
   up until now, but we are now reconsidering whether to also include updated versions of
   unpublished papers as well. If you have any thoughts on that please let me know.
           Best regards
           Martin
