Don't use the quotes when sending actual mail to the servers. AHP_ARCHIVE-L A mailing list has been created to discuss issues arising out of the preservation of the archives of the Alberta Hail Project (AHP). The Alberta Hail Project operated from 1957-1986, and collected meteorological data (centered around hail storms) using several sensors, including a circularly polarized 10 cm radar, a co-located 3 cm radar, and an instrumented aircraft, as well as extensive ground operations and surveys. A project is currently underway to move as much digital data as possible to CD-ROM and store those at the University of Alberta Data Library. For more information on the project or the archives, email johnson@arc.ab.ca or see <URL:http://saturn.arc.ab.ca/~johnson/ahp_archive.html>. To subscribe, send a message containing the line "SUBSCRIBE AHP_ARCHIVE-L" to MAILSERVE@ARC.AB.CA. For information on how to use the list, send a mail message to MAILSERV@ARC.AB.CA with one line containing "HELP". To get a list of the addresses on the list, send a message to MAILSERV@ARC.AB.CA containing "SEND/LIST AHP_ARCHIVE-L" ai-geostats The ai-geostats mailing list was established by in May of 1995 by Gregoire Dubois (gregoire.dubois@ei.jrc.it), a PhD student in radioecology who uses GIS and geostats software, for the discussion of spatial data analysis, GIS, and geostatistics. As of September 1995 the list includes more than 330 subscribers from 31 countries, and new members are always welcome. To subscribe, send a message containing the line "subscribe ai-geostats" to Majordomo@gis.psu.edu. There is also a homepage, which includes an archive of past postings, at <URL:http://java.ei.jrc.it/rem/gregoire/>. astroweather-sne (Astronomy-oriented weather for southern New England) This mailing list is specifically devoted to "astronomer friendly" reports from weather observers around the North Eastern U.S. This list was inspired by two things: 1) The absolute NECESSITY for sky-watchers of all kinds to know cloud conditions at night, throughout their local area, as much in advance as possible, and 2) The fact that details about cloud cover and heading, especially at night, are among the LEAST important items for most weather observers to note or report. TO SUBSCRIBE TO ASTROWEATHER-SNE: Send a message to the address "majordomo@latrade.com", with the following in the BODY (not the Subject line) of your message: subscribe astroweather-sne TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ASTROWEATHER-SNE: Send a message to the address "majordomo@latrade.com", with the following in the BODY (not the Subject line) of your message: info astroweather-sne CALMET (Computer Aided Learning in Meteorology) CALMET is a mailing list dedicated to computer-aided learning in meteorology.

GT-ATMDC (coordinated by Ivo Bouwmans, Bouwmans@Interduct.TUDelft.NL) This is the `Theme Group' on Atmospheric Dispersion of Chemicals of the Global Research Network on Sustainable Development. Discussions cover: sources of chemicals and their emission characteristics, the way chemicals disappear from the atmosphere, the atmospheric velocity field and the physical dispersion mechanisms, interaction between the physics and the chemistry of the dispersion process, the effects that chemicals have on the atmospheric system, interaction between the atmosphere and the compartme nts water and land, selection of consensus models. This is part of the Global Research Network on Sustainable Development (GRNSD), a worldwide, independent forum of individual scientists. The network will facilitate the international, interdisciplinary, and interactive coordination of the global sustainable development research process. [More information about GRNSD will be sent after registration or on request.] To become a member of GT-ATMDC, you must fill out a form describing your contact information, affiliation and research interests. To get the registration form, and more information about the mailing list, send email to Request@Interduct.TUDelft.NL with the subject "send gt-atmdc-info". HHNet The goal of HHNet is to promote communication between scientists interested in hydrology. It will generate a regular newsletter called the 'HHNet Digest' for announcements and scientific queries of general interest, provide a central site for obtaining current e-mail addresses of those working in these areas, and diffuse information such as data, information on meetings and seminars, details of new books and journal articles, and vacant faculty positions. Submissions for Hydro Digest: E-mail to ezzedine@cig.ensmp.fr with "submit" as subject. Subscriptions for Hydro Digest: E-mail to ezzedine@cig.ensmp.fr with "subscribe" as subject. To unsubscribe, e-mail with "unsubscribe" followed by your e-mail address as subject. MET-AI (administered by Eric.Jones@comp.vuw.ac.nz) MET-AI is an unmoderated mailing list for meteorologists and AI researchers interested in applications of artificial intelligence to meteorology.
