Dear Tim,

Here are some suggestions for potential reviewers of a Santer et al.

IJoC submission on issues related to the consistency between modeled and
observed atmospheric temperature trends. None of the suggested reviewers
have been involved in the recent "focus group" that has discussed
problems with the Douglass et al. IJoC paper.

(2000). Email: wallace@atmos.washington.edu

2. Qiang Fu, University of Washington. Expert on atmospheric radiation,

dynamics, radiosonde and satellite data. Published 2004 Nature paper and
2005 GRL paper dealing with issues related to global and tropical
temperature trends. Email: qfu@atmos.washington.edu

3. Gabi Hegerl, University of Edinburgh. Expert on detection and
