摘要:
Most science budgets emerged unscathed from President Ronald Reagan's fiscal 1983 budget proposal. Total funding for research and development came out slightly ahead of inflation, as did funding for basic research (Eos, February 16, p. 162). The National Science Foundation (NSF) edged past the projected 7.3% inflation rate for 1982, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budget is to be increased by 10.6%. However, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is budgeted for a 4.2% increase in funding, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will take an 8.3% cut.

摘要:
During January, almost 90% of the key gaging stations across the country reported normal to above‐normal streamflow, and low: flow conditions in the drought‐plagued Southeast also improved, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.USGS hydrologists said that only 13% of the key index gaging stations reporting from across the country during January showed flows in the below‐normal range—within the lowest 25% of record. In contrast, 64% of the index stations reported below‐normal flows during the same period last year.In the Southeast, many streams took a dramatic upturn during January, although low‐flow conditions still persist in large areas of Florida and in parts of Virginia and Louisiana. During January, less than 15% of the index stations in the Southeast showed flows that were well‐below normal; in comparison, during January 1981, all of the index stations reported flows in the below
