1. 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.
2. Weather-users (administered by scott@zorch.sf-bay.org)
This list is for discussions of weather servers; sharing of code to
automatically query weather servers; and announcements of availability
(or lack thereof) and changes to weather servers. Initially, Jeff Masters
(sdm@downwind.sprl.umich.edu) has agreed to send Weather Underground status
notices to this list.
To join or quit the list, email to weather-users-request@zorch.sf-bay.org;
the list mail address is weather-users@zorch.sf-bay.org.
3. WX-TALK and other WX-lists
WX-TALK, formerly STORM-L, is a mailing list for weather-related topics,
special event notifications, job announcements, and administrative
messages. This list, and other specialized weather-related lists, are
run from the vmd.cso.uiuc.edu (UIUCVMD) machine at Urbana-Champaign,
Illinois. WX-TALK is for discussions and questions; the others are intended
to distribute information on particular topics, but you should not
post mail to them.
To join the list, send a message consisting of the single line
SUB WX-TALK Your Name
to whichever of these addresses works for you:
LISTSERV@UIUCVMD / LISTSERV@UIUCVMD.BITNET / LISTSERV@VMD.CSO.UIUC.EDU
or uiucuxc!vmd!listserv from uucp.
Contributions should then go to WX-TALK@[working address]
For more information, and a list of the other WX-lists on vmd.cso.uiuc.edu,
use anonymous FTP to retrieve the file WX-TALK.DOC from vmd.cso.uiuc.edu
in the directory "wx".
4. Wxsat (administered by Richard B. Emerson)
Wxsat resends all NOAA/NESDIS bulletins on polar and geostationary weather
satellites as well as occasional material on Meteosat. Bulletins with
orbital predictions, spacecraft operation schedules, and related messages
are copied from NOAA.SAT on SCIENCEnet and forwarded to all addresses on
the list. The list is configured to accept and broadcast mail from
subscribers to the list at large. Wxsat does not store or distribute imagery
and is not primarily a "chat" list. Wxsat is oriented towards users with a
daily operational need for TBUS and related bulletins.
An archive of roughly 60 days' messages are available for retrieval via
email messages to wxsat-archive@ssg.com. Send the message "help" in the
text to the archive server for details on how to retrieve the current index
and other files. There is also an archive for programs and gifs at
ftp://kestrel.umd.edu/pub/wxsat/.
Subscription requests go to wxsat-request@ssg.com.

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
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
14. Nfc (National Forecasting Contest)
This mailing list is open to everyone but particularly intended as a
communication facility for participants of the National Forecasting Contest
which is carried out over the Internet. The organizers hope that it will
lead to debates about the issued forecasts and to discuss different ways
of creating forecasts. Topics may also range from numerical models to
current weather events. Everything which has to do with weather and
forecasting is welcome.
To subscribe, send email to listproc@bibo.met.fu-berlin.de containing only
one line in the mail body (NOT the subject line):
sub nfc <your_name>
sub nfc John Doe (for example)
The list's address itself is nfc@bibo.met.fu-berlin.de
If you have any problems or questions send mail to
dennis@bibo.met.fu-berlin.de. Though the list is situated in Germany the
language is English.
15. MET-JOBS (administered by ted.smith@mtnswest.com)
MET-JOBS is for posts of employment opportunity announcements in
meteorology, climatology, and other atmospheric sciences. Announcements of
teaching or research graduate assistantships, postdoctoral research
positions, etc., also are appropriate. Any employment setting (academia,
government, or private industry) located anywhere in the world is appropriate.
*** DO NOT *** post resumes, inquiries, responses to job opportunity
posts, etc., to this list. Persons who do so may be removed from the list.
There is also a GEOSCI-JOBS list, which can be accessed in a similar
fashion, for other geoscience jobs.
SERVER ADDRESS: listserv@netcom.com
LIST ADDRESS: met-jobs@netcom.com
You may subscribe/resubscribe at any time by sending the following
command to "listserv@netcom.com":
subscribe met-jobs
If you do so, Majordomo will check the 'From:' tag on your message
and will add it to the list. If the 'From:' does not contain a valid
e-mail address, try subscribing by adding your e-mail address to
the command above (e.g., subscribe met-jobs you@whatever.site).
IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE SERVER within a day
or two, your command probably did not succeed. If so, send email
to ted.smith@mtnswest.com describing your problem.
To post an Employment Opportunity Announcement, send it as a message
to met-jobs@netcom.com. The preferred format is to (1) include the
educational level required, field, and location as the subject of
the message [e.g., PhD: Meteorology: USA-KS would indicate a PhD-level
meteorology position located in Kansas] and (2) format your message
to a width of 72 characters or less (longer lines get truncated at
some sites, including archive sites).
Posts to this list are partly moderated. All posts from non-subscribers
are sent to the list owner for approval. All posts of more than 250 lines
also are sent to the list owner for approval. All other posts are immediately
sent to list subscribers.
