Subject: AGU Book on Rainfall: Request for chapter contribution

 
Dear
Ageel,
Thank
you for your help to send this email out to Geostatistics Professors you know
of who could write the book chapter in a reasonably short period of time, say 4
– 6 weeks. 
Cheers,
Mekonnen
 
Dear Invited Author/s:

We (Dr. Firat Testik and I) proposed to publisher AGU an edited book titled
"Rainfall: Microphysics, Measurement, Estimation, and Statistical
Analyses".  The idea is to provide a comprehensive coverage of
the current state of rainfall physics and estimation.  AGU has accepted
our proposal and agreed to publish the edited book according to the table of
contents attached. In fact, we have received all  the book chapter manuscripts
except one chapter, which is why I am sending this invitation.
We just learnt that the
author of our ‘Geostatistics’ chapter cannot
deliver as promised due to unexpected health problems. Therefore, we are
looking for author/s who can write this manuscript in a reasonable short period
of time, about 1 month. The nice thing about writing this book chapter is that the
book will be published fairly soon, since we have all the book chapters ready
except this one.
Given your expertise, we
would like to invite you to write this specific chapter. We hope that you will
accept this invitation to disseminate your expertise among the rainfall science
community through this book.

Please advise us of your decision as soon as possible. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact us.


Cordially,
 
Mekonnen
