摘要:
On September 11, 1985, the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) will pass through the tail of Comet Giacobini‐Zinner and thus become the first spacecraft ever to intercept a comet. The ICE spacecraft was formerly known as the International Sun‐Earth Explorer Three (ISEE 3). When ISEE 3 was launched in August 1978, little thought had been given to having this spacecraft encounter a comet. In fact, ISEE 3 will have had three different mission phases during its lifetime, only the first of which was planned at the time of launch. The ISEE program originated as a joint program of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the earth's magnetosphere. The role of ISEE 3 was to observe the solar wind upstream of the earth. ISEE 1 and 2 then observed the response of the magnetosphere to changes in the solar wind. This phase lasted almost 4 years and led to the exploration of the foreshock region of the earth's bow shock (see the Upstream Waves and Particles special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, vol. 86, pp. 4319–4536, 1981). The second phase began in late 1982, when ISEE 3 was moved from a position in front of the earth to one behind it in order to study the unexplored region of the earth's tail from the lunar distance of 60 RE to 240 RE. Results from this exploration may be found in the ISEE 3 Distant Geotail Results special issue of Geophysical Research Letters (vol. 11, pp. 1027–1105, 1984). The third and final phase, that of comet studies, began on December 22, 1983, when ISEE 3 passed within 120 km of the moon, sending it on its way out of the earthmoon system. At this time the spacecraft was rena

摘要:
Members of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) are scheduled to meet this fall in workshops across the country to review 11 conceptual designs for four classes of vessels. From among these designs, UNOLS hopes to realize, by the mid‐1990s, four new large vessels, the first of the new generation of research ships to usher seagoing oceanography into the 21st centur

摘要:
In support of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, a series of remote satellite‐reporting meteorological stations is being deployed along the coast of South America and on equatorial islands across the Pacific Ocean. The locations of present and planned installations are shown in Table 1. The program is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and activity is centered in NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), Seattle, Was

摘要:
The U.S. Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) has commissioned a series of planning and technical reports on topics related to planning a U.S. component of WOCE. During April 1985, a series of ocean sector meetings were convened to discuss general circulation problems of the South Pacific, North Pacific, South Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. These were the first round of a series of meetings to begin formulating specific plans for in‐situ observations as part of WOC

摘要:
A report prepared by a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) research briefing panel on remote sensing of the earth recommends that development of accurate satellite remote sensing techniques for global measurement of precipitation should be a high priority for funding, as should the development of improved surface imaging spectrometers and tropospheric chemical sensors. The panel, part of the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP), made a variety of recommendations that in part echoed those recently issued by the Satellite Planning Committee of Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc. (JOI) (Eos, August 6, 1985, p. 577).

摘要:
Cenozoic Geology of Idaho provides abundant information, including much that was previously unpublished, about the last 65 m.y. of the earth's history in this interesting state. The softbound volume consists of 41 individually authored papers organized by topic into 14 chapters. Volcanic stratigraphy and structures have received the most attention, but Tertiary basin sediments and Quaternary glacial deposits are each the subject of several papers. Geophysical data is seldom mentioned, except for a fine summary of the geophysics and tectonics of the Snake River Plain by D. R. Mabey (Utah Geological and Mineral Survey, Salt Lake City). Unfortunately absent, especially for those unfamiliar with the region, is any overview summary (or even a regional location map) to provide a framework within which the individual detailed papers can be integrated.

摘要:
The tsunami (or “tidal wave,” as it is most commonly and incorrectly known) is a surface ocean wave disturbance generated by a seismic source such as a shallow, coastal earthquake of magnitude greater than six on the Richter scale or a volcanic eruption. The term “tidal wave” has always evoked images of awesome power and unbelievable destruction and has often been used by newspapers and television and radio commentators to describe the much more frequently destructive storm surge generated by intense low pressure centers. In fact, more than a decade ago, a well‐respected dean of the television nightly news incorrectly described (in his somber and well‐known voice) the immense loss of life and extensive lowland flooding from storm surge generated by a 200‐mile‐per‐hour (∼8.9 mls) cyclone that came ashore at Bangledesh as having been the result of a “massive tidal wave.” It also is generally understood by those scientists and engineers working in the field of tsunami research and its application that many of the characteristics of these w
