18.1 Introduction :
This chapter includes some important letters of reference showing some of the postdoctoral work done by the author as it is of permanent value and forms an interesting reading material for everyone as a part of this book.
18.2 News entitled ‘SAC Meteorology Expert invited by NASA’ which appeared in The Times of India on Sunday, 24th December 1978
The Times of India, Sunday, December 24,1978
SAC Meteorology Expert Invited by NASA
By Our Staff Reporters
AHMEDABAD, December 23. Dr. Parmjit Singh Sehra of the Space Applications Centre here, has been invited by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for consultation in upper atmospheric meteorology and startospheric research, according to a press releas issued by the SAC here today.
Dr. Sehra will visit the Godard Institute in New York between January 4 and 17, 1979. His trip has been sponsored by NASA. Interest in the meteorology of the upper atmosphere has been stimulated in the past few years by concerns over possible adverse effects which a large fleet of supersonic aircrafts might have on stratospheric environment due to possible depletion of ozone in the atmospheric layer between 15-50 km. and hence on the global climate.

Dear Dr. Sehra :
We would like to invite you to visit GISS to consult with us on stratospheric dynamics and discuss the possibility of working with us in the future. A preferable date would be when Peter Stone is at GISS. He is scheduled to be here from September 18-19, 1978. If this date is satisfactory, we will confirm all necessary arrangements for your trip. We will pay you a small consulting fee when you are in New York and also pay your additional travel expenses after you submit a voucher when you reach here.
Reservations have been made with Pan Am Airlines for Indian Airlines flight #104 from Ahmedabad to Bombay on September 16 and on Pan Am flight # 111 from Bombay to New York. The return flight will be kep open for you so that you could work as a distinguished research scientist after your consultation here. Your airline ticket in the first class category will be sent to the Air India desk at the airport in Ahmedabad.
We have also reserved a room for you here at the Hotel Empire on sixty-sixth street and Broadway in Manhattan in New York, USA. In order to insure that we have adequate time to confirm these arrangements, please respond as soon as as possible.
We hope that it will be possible for you to visit us in September 1978 and work with us in our Project on ‘Stratospheric Dynamics related to climate Modeling’.
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern
The Meteorology Department of the Faculty of Science, A1-Fateh University hereby certifies that Dr. Parmjit Singh Sehra of Indian Nationality was one of the Teaching Staff Members in this Department from 15th February 1982 to 31st August 1991.
Dr. Parmjit Singh Sehra worked in this Department dedicatedly right from its inception, and he has been teaching various courses of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science to the students of Bachelor Degree Program at all levels. In addition to teaching, he has also participated in various research projects leading to the publication of many research papers in reputed International Scientific Journals and Conferences.
During his tenure here, he has been very sincere, honest, diligent and hard-working, and he devoted all his efforts to his academic duties for which he gained the entire esteem and respectfulness of all his colleagues, Teaching Staff Members as well as the students of this Department here.
In view of the A1-Fateh University’s plan regarding “Arabization” of the Teaching Staff Members here, the University decided to replace all the non-Arab Teaching Staff Members by Arab nationals and accordingly did not renew their contracts due to which Dr. Sehra had to leave our Meterology Department against our own wishes.
At the time of his leaving this Department, we take this opportunity to thank Dr. Sehra for his excellent performance here and for his sincere efforts which he exerted with us in establishing and building up this Department here and also in developing its various academic Programs. We wish him all success in his future career.
