	I finally did get an actual LaTeX style file for AGU abstracts
	from Glenn Berg (berg@malice.cass.usu.edu),


%agu_abstract.sty

% from: berg@malice.cass.usu.edu (Glenn Berg)
%This defines a list environment that you use as follows:
%
%\begin{abstract}{<title>}{<authors>}{<text>}
%   \item Text of first item on right hand side of page
%   \item Text of second item on right hand side of page
%   \item Text of third item on right hand side of page
%   \item etc.
%\end{abstract}

Here is an example of using it.   Be careful of whitespace between the } and the {,
 otherwise using this is straightforward:

\begin{abstract}{An investigation using Empirical Orthogonal
Functions(EOF's)
and Objective Analysis to analyse the vertical temperature structure
of a Gulf Stream Meander

}{
Expendable bathymetric temperature (XBT) data;  taken from  an 
anticyclonic meander crest within the Gulf Stream  (Hummon 1991) is
analysed by looking at the empirical vertical structure . The 
ensemble averaged data is formed into a projection matrix that
compares the value of the temperature at one depth with the
temperature at a second depth. The data was smoothed with the
correlation analysis being performed at 10 metre intervals from 5
metres to a depth of 795 metre. The first four, or principle, EOF's
of the projection matrix were computed and the modal amplitudes for
each XBT  determined. Using Objective Analysis the modal amplitudes
were interpolated onto a specified grid. Synthetic XBT's were then
reconstructed at the grid positions using the interpolated grid
modal amplitude values. A measure of the error at each grid point
was determined. The Objective Analysis was subsequently repeated
using successively fewer XBT's from the data set, until the
resulting error in the interpolated XBT's at the grid points 
became unacceptable.
