Subject: Announcing a new publication. Frost protection: fundamentals,
practice, and economics


Dear colleagues,

this is to announce a new publication on "Frost protection: fundamentals,
practice and economics" by Richard L. Snyder, University of California,
Atmospheric Science Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, Davis,
California (USA), J. Paulo de Melo-Abreu, Technical University of Lisbon,
Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Departamento de Ciencias do Ambiente, Lisboa
(Portugal), Scott Matulich, Washington State University, Department of

This new two-volume publication describes the physics and biology of frost
occurrence and damage, passive and active protection methods and how to
assess the cost-effectiveness of active protection techniques. Computer
application programs (in Microsoft Excel) are included in the CD-ROM to help
simplify complex calculations; sample calculations are presented in the text.


The publication can be requested free of charge from
