  • Nobody is Perfect With such a large endeavour as the BACC II book, with so many contributions, it cannot be ruled out that some errors have slipped through. To make this as transparent as possible and to allow corrections to be published, we have added a Corrigenda page on this website. May this page have as few entries as possible! A corrigendum on the MWP temperature is now online. The BACC Blog should be the discussion forum for any controversial issues.
