摘要:
During a 4‐month period beginning July 25, 1989, the Sun released an unprecedented barrage of seven relativistic solar particle events detectable with ground‐based instrumentation. These “ground level enhancements” (GLE) are the first to occur in the present sunspot cycle, and they include the largest event observed since 1956. The seven new events bring to 44 the number of GLE observed since systematic observations began 50 years ago. Several events are distinguished by unusual fine structure in their time profiles, and one event exhibits an extraordinary spike‐like feature at ev

摘要:
At the SPR Executive Committee Meeting last December, some interest was expressed in having a section newsletter, but limited time prevented full discussion of the issue. Later, some of the interested attendees decided to take a sample poll of the SPR membership at the Spring Meeting this year to determine the level of enthusiasm for the project. Although no other section has a separate newsletter at this time, AGU has set guidelines for proposing and publishing them, and the outcome of the poll was to determine whether or not a proposal should be submitted. The text of the poll form is repeated below. “Proposal for a Solar‐Planetary Relationships Newsle

摘要:
Among many of the fascinating phenomena displayed by nature, there are a number that involve the generation, storage, and subsequent dissipation of electromagnetic energy. Solar flares and magnetospheric substorms are two notable examples that occur in the solar system. A workshop dealing with these two phenomena, “Workshop on Solar Flares and Magnetospheric Substorms,” was held March 26–30, 1990, at the East‐West Center on the University of Hawaii campus at Manoa—an efficient but delightful setting for scientific interaction. The workshop was unique in that solar physicists and magnetospheric physicists, about 25 from each group, gathered together in a single conference hall to discuss practically all aspects of both solar flares and magnetospheric substorms. Participants came from Australia, Germany, Japan, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the Uni

摘要:
The 1989 James B. Macelwane Medal was presented to William R. Young on May 31, 1990, at AGU's Spring Meeting in Baltimore for significant contributions to the geophysical sciences by a young scientist of outstanding ability. The award citation, by Carl Wunsch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Young's response are presented below.

摘要:
The Office of Naval Research announces 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 sciences.Participation is sought from U.S. institutions that confer doctoral degrees in one or more areas of ocean sciences; show a viable plan to identify, attract, and train, in the ocean sciences, U.S. citizen post‐docs (Fellows) from other disciplines; and can show institutional commitment to ocean science education at the doctoral level. Three awards will be made via grants to institutions for a period of 3 years at $75,000 per year (at least $65,000 of these funds are intended for direct support
