摘要:

The vastness and inaccessibility of the oceans make difficult the collection of measurements necessary to develop detailed models of the oceans and an understanding of oceanic dynamics. However, the combination of satellite altimetry and scatterometer wind measurements, technologies developed and demonstrated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, together with enhanced in situ measurements, can provide a major improvement in our ability to observe the oceans globally and synoptically. For example, these data could greatly improve the modeling and long‐range predictions of global oceanographic and atmospheric anomalies associated with the El Niño/Southern Oscillation such as occurred in 1982–1983. Hence, the launch of the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX) satellite, which will provide worldwide altimeter data, combined with the initiation of international programs such as the World Climate Research Program, will lead to significant progress in the understanding of oceanic processes on global sc

摘要:

A series of astronomy missions slated to be carried aboard the space shuttle will lead with a special look at Halley's Comet.The missions, dubbed Astro, consist of three ultraviolet telescopes that will be used to study stars and galaxies. To study Halley's Comet, a pair of visible‐light cameras have been added to the Astro payload's first flight, scheduled for March 198

摘要:

It is indeed a privilege to present the Horton Medal to one of my colleagues at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), C.V. Theis. Theis' contributions to groundwater hydrology over an active lifetime of inquiry have helped shape and reshape the science as we now know it. Certainly others may have accumulated a greater number of publications, but no one person has had a greater impact on groundwater hydrology in the past 50 years than C.V. Theis.

摘要:

Papers are solicited on the processes that control the chemistry of the global atmosphere and the connections between global atmospheric chemistry and climate. Tropospheric topics of special interest are biogenic sources of atmospheric chemicals, tropospheric photochemistry, heterogeneous reactions and removal processes, and long‐range transport and global distributions of various species. Contributions are also sought on the atmospheric components of biogeochemical cycles, the relationships between tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry, and climate and relevant experimental research in instrument development and laboratory photochemistry and kinetic

摘要:

Although attendance was down at the 1984 Spring Meeting, Cincinnati was found to be an ideal site to hold a convention. Final attendance was 1533 with approximately 1100 papers presented.Changes to the 1984 Spring Meeting program and additional, late, and revised abstracts are printed below.
