<br>
We (Dr. Firat Testik and I) proposed to publisher AGU an edited book titled
"<b>Rainfall: Microphysics, Measurement, Estimation, and Statistical
Analyses</b>". 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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">We just learnt that the
author of our ‘</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: red;">Geostatistics’ </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">chapter c</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">annot
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.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">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.<br>
<br>
Please advise us of your decision as soon as possible. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact us.<br>
