Text modified [William Howard] 6-1490 A 33:42 33:43 As for the following description, "However, the relationship between sunspot numbers Noted. and solar magnetic field is not fully understood," a report of Itoh will give a further insight (K. Itoh, "A novel empirical relation between the aa index and sunspot numbers: theoretical considerations and applications," Japan Geoscience Union Meeting 2001, En- P001 (http://www-jm.eps.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/2001cd-rom/pdf/en/en-p001_e.pdf).

Suggestions along this line will show the direction of future climate researches, and worth to note somewhere in the report. [Kiminori Itoh] 2-54 A 0:0 The authors have worked hard to put together a well-balanced draft. I enjoyed reading it Thanks from the first line to the end [Fortunat Joos] 2-55 A 0:0 I was surprised to see the over-emphasis on Concept of ‘RF (Radiative forcing)’ in Partially accepted.

Will be changed [John Church] 5-1203 A 86:5 I feel strange to see a future projection in Figure 1 because the chapter is discussing Sea level box is in collaboration with observations. chapter 10 [Kiminori Itoh] 5-1204 A 86:7 Q 5.1, Fig. 1 Fix typo: Chpater -> Chapter.

In this case, of course (and unfortunately), issue is given in Chapter 9 the model calculations shown in Figure 6.10 cannot be relied on. [Kiminori Itoh] 6-1501 A 34:10 34:11 Also state Solanki results Noted.

Expert Review Comments on First-Order Draft (16 November 2005) IPCC Working Group I Fourth Assessment Report Page:line No. Batch From To Comment Notes [Kiminori Itoh] 9-388 A 15:24 It is not clear how the peresented results were obtained. The description of the experinet These descriptieons are in the original should be slightly extended to explain what forcing has been applied, what ozone changes papers.

Akasofu points out, due to the changes in the ocean currents, the mechanism suggested by conventional models (ice- snow feedback) is neither plausible nor convincing. [Kiminori Itoh] 9-1091 A 52:52 52:53 may … to some extent" too weak: "will … to some extent" or just "may Accepted [William Ingram] 9-1092 A 52:53 Delete “quantitative” Reject.

added (LAs and CLAs) [Kiminori Itoh] 11-19 A 0:0 The chapter is written very nicely, taking into account most of the important achievments Noted, editorial action taken (CLAs).

A comment on this point is necessary. uncertainty discussion [Kiminori Itoh] 6-1218 A 26:40 This undoutedbly will be the most contentious section in the Chapter - particulary in accepted relation to 'hockey sticks'.

Thus, the solar magnetic activity possibly affects the climate through interacting with AO (or NAO). Such a suggestion seems worth to note. [Kiminori Itoh] 6-1560 A 37:19 Replace with” Eastern African hydrological variability” Accepted. Text modified. [Vincent Gray] 6-1561 A 37:22 37:22 Remove extra brackets around references.

This paper looks so important that its negligence will be not justified. [Kiminori Itoh] 9-1054 A 49:55 50:3 Is global climate change being left off as a possible factor simply because a linear change Rewritten to indicate that these is not seen?
