摘要:
The West Coast Experiment was conducted in the Southern California Bight during March–April 1977 for the purpose of investigating the mesoscale variability of waves, wind, and surface temperature and to demonstrate the validity and level of usefulness of airborne remote sensing techniques in the investigation of oceanographic processes. This paper presents the large‐scale view of the West Coast Experiment and provides a summary of the major results. For detailed presentations and analyses of the enormous quantity of data collected, the reader is referred to the individual pap

摘要:
The Goes‐D meteorological satellite (see figure) was launched September 9 from the Kennedy Space Center. It carried a new type of instrument known as the VAS, or Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) Atmospheric Sounder. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, and t he University of Wisconsin at Madison will conduct a long‐term experiment to evaluate this instrument's usefulness in t he prediction of severe local hurricanes, storms, and other short‐term weather phenomena.Previous Goes spacecraft provided day and night, two‐dimensional cloud cover photos. Now, the new atmospheric sounder, in addition to this same imaging capability, will be able to measure atmospheric temperatures and moisture at various altitude layers. As with previous Goes satellites the new instrument will provide both day and night cloud cover photos with a resolution of approximately 0.9 km in daylight and 6.9 km a

摘要:
Policies to strengthen water resource development in the midwestern United States are summarized in a two‐volume report by the Northeast‐Midwest Congressional Coalition. ‘Water Resource Priorities for the Midwest’ examines regional implications of hazardous waste disposal, repair of urban water systems, reauthorization of the Clean Water Act, hydroelectric power, and port facilities. Water quality, water supply, and energy and transportation issues are also addressed.The project study area encompasses water resources in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin and generally conforms to the U.S. Water Resources Council's Great Lakes, Ohio, and Upper Mississippi
