27 Mailing lists (Meteorology: Internet resources)
In the following list of mailing lists, commands to mailservers are
set off using quotation marks ("example"). 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

CALMET is a mailing list dedicated to computer-aided learning in
meteorology. It is associated with the ftp site cumulus.met.ed.ac.uk.
To join the list, send mail to calmet-request@ed.ac.uk. Messages to
the list go to calmet@ed.ac.uk.
CLIMLIST (moderated by John Arnfield)
CLIMLIST is a moderated electronic mail distribution list for climat-
ologists and those working in closely-related fields. It is used to
disseminate notices regarding conferences and workshops, data avail-
ability, calls for papers, positions available etc, as well as
requests for information. An updated directory of email addresses for
the subscribers to the list is distributed every month (usually on the
15th).
To subscribe, mail to whichever of these addresses works for you:
AJA+@OHSTMAIL.BITNET / aja+@osu.edu / johna@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
with the following information:
Your name; your email address; your departmental & institutional
affiliation; whether your email address is shared or personal; your
area of interest or responsibility within climatology.
GRC
This mailing list has been setup for those whom are hunting for
geographic datas, maps and other, and for those whom have such
resources available. To subscribe, send email to
Majordomo@geog.hkbu.edu.hk with the command "subscribe grc
your_email_address" in the text body. To send mail to the list, use
the address grc@geog.hkbu.edu.hk.
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.

artificial neural networks in meteorology, automatic interpretation
and analysis of satellite imagery, automatic synthesis of weather
forecast texts, case-based reasoning and meteorology, expert systems
and decision aids for weather forecast ing, high-level interfaces to
