My secretary, Judy McMillin, will do the administrative work on this for me. Please submit the info to her for the papers for the Fall AGU so that I can fulfill the rules. Judy's email is judy@ryker.space.swri.edu . Dear Science Team Members: As was requested at the Florida meeting, here is an electronic version of the presentation material on the proposed notification and approval process for studies, presentations, and papers. We should start using the process now, although a formal agreement on it will await the next team meeting. The following items are covered here: Section A - a brief summary of the approach Section B - a description of the proposed policy and some issues Section C - outline of the planned implementation Section D - a description of the standard E-mail message format for use in the notification/approval process and the list of standard parameter mneumonics Section E - a sample E-mail message Section F - a sample summary file Please let me know if you have any problems/questions/etc. Bob Seals A.

E. SAMPLE E-MAIL MESSAGE TO: CDHF1::SCI FROM: MLSRAC::JOE SUBJECT: Presentation/IA TEXT: * Waters, J. * MLS * INST * The UARS Microwave Limb Sounder Experiment * Waters, J.; Barath, F.; Cofield, R.; Elson, L.; Flower, D.; Froidevaux, L.; Jarnot, R.; Lau, G.; Perun, V.; Pickett, H.; Read, W.; Voge, C.; Wilson, W. * AMS Conference on the Middle Atmosphere, January 1992 The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) experiment on the NASA Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), scheduled for launch in fall 1991, is the first use of microwave limb sounding from orbit to study Earth's atmosphere. Primary measurement objectives are ClO (~20-45 km), O3 (~15-80 km), H2O (~15-85 km), temperature (~30-60 km), and pressure (~30-60 km). The ClO measurement on a global scale by MLS is important for understanding and monitoring chlorine depletion of stratospheric ozone. The simultaneous measurements of O3, temperature, and H2O provide additional information on the stratosphere and mesosphere, and pressure measurements provide the vertical reference for composition. All measurements are made continuously at all times of day and night, including in the presence of polar stratospheric clouds which trigger ozone depletion at high latitudes. F.

You should go ahead and send in notification for your AGU papers. Basically you just send in a mail message to SCI on the CDHF following the format in Section D of my previous mail message. Also Section E provides a sample using a Joe Waters presentation. If you want to see what is already in the SCI account, you can do a DIR command on the CDHF account. For example, DIR PI1$DISK:[SCI.APP] will give a listing of items pertaining to approved presentations. Let me know if you have any problems. Let's try this electronic approach and see how it goes.
