摘要:
Scott E. Forbush, a pioneer in cosmic ray research, was the quintessential geophysicist's geophysicist. Until, on the eve of his 80th birthday, he succumbed to pneumonia, he maintained an abiding interest in the continued reliable operation of the three remaining cosmic ray ionization chambers of the worldwide network that he had set up in the mid 1930s. No one could have predicted, when the first instrument at Cheltenham, Md. commenced operation in 1936, that Forbush was destined to discover most of the important multifarious time variations of cosmic rays that were accessible to his classic detectors

摘要:
Potential opportunities for research will be available after the completion this summer of a 650‐m, 7.6‐cm‐diameter scientific core taken from the southern ring‐fracture zone of Valles Caldera, New Mexico. (See Figure 1.)The Valles Caldera coring effort stems from three primary objectives: to study the hydrogeochemistry of a subsurface geothermal outflow zone of the caldera near the source of convective upflow; to obtain structural and stratigraphic information from intracaldera rock formations under the southern ring‐fracture zone; and to obtain continuous core (6.25 cm) samples through the youngest volcanic unit in Valles Caldera, the Banco Bonito obsidian (approximately 0.1 to 0.05 milli

摘要:
Nancy E. Dignon, a graduate student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, is the recipient of the 1984 June Bacon‐Bercey Scholarship for Women in Atmospheric Sciences. The scholarship, administered by AGU, is provided through a gift from the noted meteorologist June Bacon‐Bercey.Dignon's interest in meteorology developed during her undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Oneonta. While working there on her bachelor of science degree in meteorology, which she completed in May 1983, she developed a strong interest in severe storms and hurricanes. During the past year at Florida State, she has taken courses in tropical meteorology, mesoscale meteorology, numerical weather prediction, and atmospheric circulations. She hopes to work for a government research group following completion of a master's degree and possibly a Ph.D. She is currently working under the guidance of T.N. Krishnamurti on research involving detailed diagnoses of past hurrica
