>From: "Valentijn Venus" <address@hidden> >Organization: ? >Keywords: 200408050006.i7506ZaW006360 Hi Valentijn, Please forgive me for not getting to your inquiry quicker. I am in the middle of preparing abstracts for the American Meteorological Society meeting that will be held this coming January in San Diego, CA. The deadline for the abstacts was this last Monday, but it was (luckily) extended to next Monday, August 9. I am involved not only in developing my own abstract, but also in working with two community members with which I am a coauthor (one in Brazil, the other in Texas). I will get to your question as soon as I can get the AMS work off of my high priority list of things to do. Cheers, Tom >untill recently i wasn't a member of the mcidas-x mailing list.
