Dear Colleague:

Recently we sent you an e-mail regarding a session we have convened 
in the upcoming AGU Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting to be held in 
Hawaii during Aug 16-20 2004.  The title of our proposed session was
changed by the AGU to: "Greenhouse Gases: Regional and Global Budgets" 
and it is in the Biogeosciences Section (Session B01).  The direct link 
to the meeting is  www.agu.org/meetings/wp04.  Please note that the
deadlines for submitting abstracts are April 15 (postal) and April 22 
(electronic). For your convenience we are appending our original description 
of the session.

Description of the Session:

Since greenhouse gases represent a global issue, our session will be 
more general than some that may deal with specific problems of the 
Western Pacific.  We are particularly interested in papers that shed new 
light on the regional budgets of greenhouse gases based on direct measurements 
or model constraints.  The target gases are all the non-CO2 greenhouse gases, 
but we want to encourage a deeper discussion of methane (CH4) since we
think its role is shifting; of nitrous oxide (N2O) because it is likely 
to be a significant greenhouse gas in the future and there are still large 
uncertainties in our knowledge about its emissions, and the role of ozone (O3).  
Other gases of interest include those listed in the Kyoto Protocol, particularly 
the HCFCs and the PFCs.

The organizers of this session are Aslam Khalil and Chris Butenhoff at the 
Department of Physics, Portland State University.  We want the meeting to be a 
forum for dialog in which the formal presentations are the core but not the only 
venue.  
If you have suggestions on improving the organization or if you have questions, 
please contact us.  e-mail:  christop@global.phy.pdx.edu, khalilm@pdx.edu, 
phone: 503-725-8396, fax: 503-725-8550.


Sincerely,

Aslam Khalil
Chris Butenhoff
Session co-conveners
