摘要:
President Ronald Reagan's Fiscal Year (FY) 1989 budget—the final spending plan of his 8‐year tenure—contains few real surprises, answers a few questions, and does not seem to have offended many in Congress. Hefty increases in money for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are proposed, while many federal programs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are trimmed.After complete silence last year, the White House renewed support for the Space Station with a big request in the new budget, along with an ambitious space program (see Tables 1 and 2). Even though Congress showed lukewarm support for this program and some other parts of the Reagan science agenda, most congressional leaders and observers are predicting that the new spending plan should make it through the legislature without a big fight, partly because of the distractions of an election

摘要:
The Mediterranean as a whole communicates with the Atlantic Ocean through the narrow and shallow Gibraltar Strait. In recent years, scientific interest has been focused on the western Mediterranean and the Strait of Gibraltar through the execution of the Western Mediterranean Circulation Experiment [La Violette, 1987] and the 1985–1986 Gibraltar Experiment [Kinder and Bryden, 1987]. These experiments and other, related investigations, however, do not involve the eastern part from the Strait of Sicily to the easternmost Levantine Basin. The most recent phenomenological materials available about this part of the Mediterranean are the studies by Lacombe and Tchernia [1960, 1972]. More recently, El‐Gindy and El‐Din [1986]produced an analysis of historical oceanographic data available at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, collected in surveys of the Eastern Mediterranean during 1960—1972. Finally, a general survey of past efforts and investigations has just been written [Malanotte‐Rizzoli and Hec

摘要:
When a rapidly moving low‐density plasma encounters a massive magnetized object in space, a tail of magnetic field lines typically forms behind the object. Some of the field lines that thread through the central body are stretched out in the downstream direction be cause of frictional processes that act between the body's own field lines and the passing plasma. Such “magnetotails” have been observed repeatedly in our Solar System. Each of the explored planets has a magnetotail, including even Venus. This planet has negligible intrinsic magnetism but its ionosphere traps and holds interplanetary field lines, which are then dragged back into a magneto tail. Comets exhibit their own versions of the magnetotail phenomenon, and there is evidence that analogous structures on a vastly larger scale form downstream of certain radio galaxies that move through the intergalactic medium in clusters of gal

摘要:
The William Bowie Medal, for outstanding contributions to fundamental geophysics and for unselfish cooperation in research, is awarded to Hannes Alfven (University of California, San Diego). Alfven has made basic contributions to plasma physics, space physics, and astrophysics. Among these are the discovery of electromagnetic waves, now called Alfven waves, the development of the concept of electric fields in space, and identification of the critical ionization process. He is known for his generosity with his ideas and time, with everyone from undergraduates to heads of state. Alfven's accomplishments were recognized with the 1970 Nobel Prize for Physics.

摘要:
There is growing concern about man's influence on estuarine and coastal waters, but information for long‐term assessment is not readily available. As an outgrowth of a series of studies on the Delaware Estuary, oceanographers at the University of Delaware (Newark) have developed a data base containing measured data from the first 8 years of their researc

摘要:
During January 24–26, 1988, a meeting at the University of Southern Mississippi campus in Long Beach, Miss., was attended by more than 100 oceanographers from a range of U.S. institutions. The objective of the meeting was to begin preparing a coordinated plan for coastal physical oceanography during the next decade. This plan is then envisioned as the core of a future large‐scale interdisciplinary national effort in coastal oceanography. Some preliminary ideas on the subject were given in the report “Coastal Physical Oceaography: The Next Decade” (Eos, November 10, 1987, pp. 158

摘要:
James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth's radiation belts, is a featured speaker at the National Science Teachers Association National 1988 convention in St. Louis, Mo. AGU is sponsoring his illustrated lecture “Exploring the Planets,” on April 8, 1988. Van Allen will describe some of the most significant results of planetary missions and discuss plans for future missions.Van Allen has been a principal investigator for scientific experiments on 24 Earth‐orbiting, Moon‐orbiting, and planetary missions. He served as AGU president from 1982 to 1984. In 1985, he retired from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, where he taught physics for 34 years. President Reagan awarded him the National Medal of Science
