I would like to add a few more thoughts to what was already said by Juan G. Roederer regardingJGRstandards in the May issue of E⊕S.First, Roederer correctly pointed out some of the difficulties regarding submission, review, and publication of papers in a technical journal. However, there is a pitfall in demanding submittal of manuscripts through division heads. I know of occasions when bosses, particularly new assistant professors with research grants, have forced their way as co‐authors after a paper has been accepted for publication and have never even bothered to look at or understand the contents of the paper. How canJGRmake sure that each of the co‐authors of a paper has madeanycontribution—regardless of its significance? A letter to that effect, as suggested by Roederer, is so easy to produce. Indeed, it is even possible to make the original author write that letter ‘of his own f

摘要:

Every age since antiquity has had its own accomplishments. The rationales of these achievements have often faded, and value judgments on their merits have changed.We may admire the early feats of engineering and the stark, simple lines of the Egyptian pyramids. But we can hardly applaud the sacrifice of many slaves to provide tombs so that a few rulers might preserve their remains, rather than have them crumble into dust like those of their lesser contemporaries.

摘要:

The need to mobilize and integrate water‐related research efforts in universities of the Great Lakes region is predicated on the growing body of literature documenting the water resources problems of the Great Lakes and the influenced service area that provides goods and services to the people of that region. The gravity of the water pollution problem in localized areas, the fluctuating lake levels, the specter of increasing water treatment costs and decreasing raw water quality for industries and municipalities, the lack of subregional or regional planning guidelines, and the scarcity of high quality water recreation areas all give special emphasis to the need for sophisticated and systematic research directed toward serving human needs.The difficulty of such a research effort in terms of data collection, regional economic analysis, or organizational innovations that may be required must not be minimized. Models that need to be built will require several years for conceptualization, planning, and implementatio

摘要:

‘The Ocean World,’ a joint oceanographic assembly, will be held in Tokyo, Japan, September 14–25, 1970. The Assembly will be sponsored by and will incorporate meetings of the International Association of Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO), the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), the International Association of Biological Oceanography (IABO), and the Commission on Marine Geology (CMG/IUGS). Certain Symposia will be organized in cooperation with the International Association for Geochemistry (IAGC), and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).The scientific sessions, collectively entitled ‘The Ocean World,’ will consist of interdisciplinary symposia, specialized symposia, and sessions of miscellaneous cont

摘要:

During August a launch crew from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, will embark on another series of high altitude superpressure balloon flights from Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. Four balloons will be launched to float at the 30‐mb level (24 km) and three at 50 mb (20.8 km). These balloon evaluation flights are preliminary to the forthcoming Nimbus D/IRLS balloon‐satellite experiment, wherein the satellite will perform the balloon tracking and location in order to determine upper wind trajectories in the equatorial regions. In January 1969, eight similar balloons were launched from Ascens
