know that many of you will be taking the rest of the year off, so we want to
get this message out to you before you leave to spend important time with your
family. The PIs of ESG-CET want to wish all of you a joyous “Holiday Season”, a
“Prosperous and Healthy New Year”, and thank you all for working hard to make
ESG-CET a success. This is truly a team effort!!!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>From important publications, to a very successful project
review, to beta release of the software, this was (and still is for those of us
still around working) a very productive and fun filled year for ESG-CET. I
expect next year will be much more of the same… (Maybe just a little more
stressful as we close in on our first official source code release and begin
our service to the CMIP community.) <span style="font-family:Wingdings;

We are making good progress with the help of our EU colleagues (and other
external collaborators) on the convergence on important issues and software
developments. Many thanks…</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Again, wish all of you the best and a safe and happy Holiday
