摘要:
Natural events, such as the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) episode in the tropical Pacific Ocean, had major impacts on the global climate in 1992. These phenomena were associated with a return to more moderate global temperatures during 1992 after several years of record or near‐record high temperatures. During the first part of the year, the 1991–1992 ENSO episode contributed to above normal temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere, while cooling during the latter part of the year was associated with the aerosol cloud produced by the June 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. By the spring of 1992, the stratospheric aerosol cloud had extended from the tropics well into both hemispheres. In this report, global surface temperature anomalies are defined as departures from the 1961–1990 base period means. As the aerosol cloud spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere during a time of increasing solar radiation, the surface temperature anomalies responded by becoming less positive over much of the hemisphere. This relative cooling helped to make 1992 the coolest year since 1986. Temperatures also were dramatically cooler throughout the tropo

摘要:
Enormous amounts of valuable data have been collected from the rocket and spacecraft missions conducted by NASA and other federal agencies over the past 35 years, as well as from collaborations with groundbased experiments and international space missions. What do we now do with all these perishable data?Many of the NASA data sets have been archived in the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Most of the data sets from spacecraft operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are archived in the National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colo., and other data sets are archived at various regional data centers. Yet there are undoubtedly many data sets that reside with the instrument's principal investigators or associate researchers at various universities, colleges, and aerospace laboratories—data that are not now included in the national archiving effort. Many of these data sets include highly reduced, value‐added data, which required significant resources to acquire and red

摘要:
The Office of Naval Research has announced a program to identify and support academic ocean scientists (“educators”) who have a distinguished record of educating high‐quality doctoral and/or postdoctoral students and who will, under this program, draw postdoctoral scientists from other disciplines into the ocean sciences.Named “educators” must be U.S. citizens with research and training experience in the ocean sciences and must have a current research and teaching position at a U.S. institution that confers doctoral degrees in ocean
