摘要:
Nominations are now open for the National Medal of Technology, which is awarded periodically by the president of the United States to recognize individuals and companies who have made outstanding contributions in the promotion of U.S. technology or technological manpower.Any U.S. citizen or company with U.S. ownership is eligible. Persons connected with administration or selection procedures for the medal will not be eligible during the period of their service or for 5 years thereafter. The number of recipients will depend on the number of deserving nominees. It is anticipated that no more than 12 medals will be awarded on any one occasion.

摘要:
The U.S. Navy has a major interest in the application of remote sensing data, especially satellite data, to provide accurate synoptic views of oceanic parameters for real‐time analyses. The Navy also has a growing need to use these data to initialize, to force, and to verify ocean variables expressed in the form of numerical model forecasts. The basic, exploratory, and advanced development research on the Navy's oceanographic applications of remotely sensed environmental data is done by the Remote Sensing Branch of the Ocean Sensing and prediction division at the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA

摘要:
I once spent a week aboard a vessel anchored in the Florida current, in water 830 m deep, far from the sight of land. We were there to measure transport variations, and I recall the numbing hourly routine of profiling the current with an instrument that traveled down a weighted line suspended from the ship. In much sharper focus I remember the mighty current that ceaselessly swept past the vessel. The current raised a foaming bow wave and strummed the anchor cable with a note that permeated the quiet ship, giving the strange experience of being underway with silent engines while going nowhere.
