What a week! Hockey and poster award
I am back from one week in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I attended the CEDAR workshop. The week started out with the Carolina Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup in game seven. It was one of the absolute best hockey games I have ever watched. High tempo, lot of battles for the puck and countless clean hits. Then I gave a talk in the AMISR workshop about the AIM satellite and how AMISR can contribute with science in coordination with AIM. Thursday I presented my poster on propagation nature of gravity waves over Antarctica. It went really well and I had some great discussions. In the end, I won the poster competition. Lot of prestige, but even better, I got the gravity wave bible! Colin Hines collection of papers in "The upper atmospher in motion". The book is from 1974 and can not be bought anywhere.

Hi Kim -- In your Jun 24 '06 post, you said "...Lot of prestige, but even better, I got the gravity wave bible! Colin Hines collection of papers in 'The upper atmospher in motion'. The book is from 1974 and can not be bought anywhere."
I've never heard of my uncle's book referred to this way. Nice to see! I'm glad to know it is still so highly valued. As an FYI, copies of the 1974 book can be located via Amazon.com or Alibris.com or Abebooks.com - some even in "new" condition - ranging in price from ~$7 to ~$63 [US$ excl S&H].// Gord Hines
Dear Gord,
I am sorry not replying any earlier. I first now realized that somebody actucally had made comments on my blog, so now I am going through them all :)
Yes, this book is highly valued. I just graduated and this book was a big subject. Everything worth knowing about GW is in this book and I am happy to see that it is still possible to buy it.
