摘要:
The launch of NASA's third High‐Energy Astrophysical Observatory (HEAO‐C) at 0528 UT on September 20, 1979, by an Atlas‐Centaur rocket produced an extraordinary opportunity to monitor a large‐scale, artificially induced depletion of the earth's ionosphere [Mendillo et al., 1979]. The resultant plasma hole, an effect caused by rapid chemical processes between the rocket's exhaust plume of H2O and H2and the ionospheric constituents (O+ and e−), was detected by an extensive network of temporary observatories set up specifically for the event. The purpose of this report is to provide a brief summary of the initial results obtained, as described at the recent workshop/symposium ‘Preliminary Evaluation of the Ionospheric Disturbances Associated with the HEAO‐C Launch, With Applications to the SPS Environmental Assessment’ held at Boston University's Osgood Hill Conference Center, Novem

摘要:
As an active AGU member (female) I find C. T . Russell's letter (EOS, June 3) discomforting at best, if not downright offensive. Nothing in my experience suggests to me that my male colleagues are any more or less competent to speak for me or other female AGU members because of their sex. Russell might attribute this circumstance to either extreme naivete or extreme good fortune; I think such a scriptions would be in error. I fail to see what Russell's unenumerated ‘statistics past’ have to do with ‘the best candidates at this point in time.’ But more importantly, I believe strongly enough that the scientific objectivity of my colleag ues has nothing to do with sexuality that I must defend them against insinuations to the contrary. I know they would do the same

摘要:
NOAA's National Geophysical and Solar‐Terrestrial Data Center has announced the availability of two sets of data taken from waters off the southwest coast of Alaska.One set consists of geophysical data associated with the areas selected for the outer continental shelf oil and gas lease sale number 70, scheduled for December 1982. The information consists of about 5939 km of nonproprietary high‐resolution seismic reflection data from the St. George Basin in the Bering Sea. Data set reference number is 1980 (SE

摘要:
The award of the Bowie Medal to Charles Whitten is long overdue. Knowing the high, even reverential, regard in which he is held by the geophysical community, I am confident that disagreement with this assertion would come only from Whitten himself. Especially to geodesists was it inevitable that a medal named after William Bowie should go to Charles Whitten—a traditional inheritance, so to speak. He is the natural, and worthy, successor to Bowie and Walter Lambert, the 1949 Bowie Medalist. The reputation of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (since 1971, the National Ocean Survey) as the leader in geodetic research and operations in the United States has been based to a large extent on the work and influence, in turn, of these three me
