Most OC scientists initiated this field (OC Satellite Oceanography) reading your books :-) and it was most definitely a surprise for me to hear that you retired already. Nevertheless, this may also mean that you have now more time to enjoy the real pleasure of making science :-)
Nowadays with new communication technologies and competition for papers it seems to me that the past pleasure of just enjoying a good science conversation with fellow colleagues is severely lost,...
Therefore, I was really happy to hear that you are preparing a new book and I most certainly look forward to reading it in the future. Yours Sincerely, Ana
