Zhongwei,
Will read soon !
Attached is what I finally submitted to JGR.
Don't pass on to anyone else.
I have also received a paper from Li, Q, but have yet to
read that. He only sent it yesterday.
Cheers
Phil

Hi, Phil,
Attached please find a draft paper about site-changes and urbanization at
Beijing. It
may be regarded as an extension of our early work (Yan et al 2001 AAS) and
therefore I
would be happy to ask you to join as a co-author.
Regarding your recent paper about UHI effect in China (no doubt upon a large-
scale
warming in the region), I hope the Beijing case may serve as a helpful rather
than a
contradictory (as it may appear so) reference.
The urbanization-bias at BJ was considerable but could hardly be quantified. I
suspect
it was somehow overestimated by a recent work (Ren et al 2007). Please feel
free to
comment and revise.
I'll check and complete the reference list, while you may also add in new
references
Cheers
Zhongwei
