A primary function ofEosis to serve the geophysical community. It does this by publishing meeting announcements, book reviews, advertisements for jobs, scientific news items, and the like. Recent articles have helped the membership assess the stage of their careers (Eos, 60, 1024, 1979), informed them of the advantages of having names near the beginning of the alphabet (Eos, 59, 118, 1978), and helped them maximize information transfer during scientific meetings (Eos, 62, 179, 1981). However, no one has dealt with the very difficult problem of making papers memorable. Some techniques, such as long author lists, are now passé. Everyone is doing it. Other techniques, such as writing a very short paper or a humorous paper, are beyond the ken of most AGU members. Fortunately, there remains one technique that can be used by a surprisingly large number of AGU members

摘要:

Oceanographers and meteorologists will investigate the movement and breakup of pack ice in the Bering Sea Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) during an intensive field study this February. Ships, aircraft, and remote recording instruments will be involved in this first of a series of field programs to investigate sea ice properties, the atmospheric and oceanic forces driving ice deformation, and the resultant ice response in marginal ice zones. Subsequent programs are planned for both the Bering and Greenland sea regions.The upcoming field program, dubbed MIZEX WEST, will study interior ice deformation, oceanography, meteorology, wave decay and ice band activity, ice melting, and largescale deformation. The research will lead to the development of a theoretical computer model that will be used to forecast changes in ice position. Before they develop an accurate forecasting model, however, scientists need to understand better how the horizontal movement, shape alteration, and melting of sea ice in the marginal ice zone contribute to where the ice edge is and its properties.

摘要:

The MAP/GLOBUS project is part of the Middle Atmosphere Program (MAP) and was described in general in MAP Handbook I. GLOBUS stands for Global Budget of Stratospheric Trace Constituents.The 1983 program for this project was recently planned during a meeting of the steering committee and of more than 40 interested scientists from the USA, Japan, and five European countries at the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, Brussels, Oct. 18–20, 1982. An integrated campaign of balloon‐borne, airplane, and ground‐based experiments was designed for September 1983 in southern France. Primary scientific objectives are (1) accurate measurements of ozone and its short‐term variability; (2) simultaneous determination of NOxspecies and their short‐term variability, including diurnal variations; (3) measurement of solar flux, scattered flux, and albedo; and (4) measurement of atmospheric dynamics. The program includes launches of eight balloon gondolas of the 300–400 kg class that contain various in situ and remote‐sensing experiments that will also provide information about numerous trace species, ions, and aerosols. Releases of 50–100 ozone sondes from five stations are also envisaged. Airplane experiments will presumably include remote sensing in the infrared by a grille spectrometer. A network of 14 ground‐based experiments shall be operated in Western Europe during the balloon and airplane flights. It includes, among other instruments, four lidars, one ST radar, two IR and one micro

摘要:

This volume is the tenth in the ambitious Encyclopedia of Earth Science series. In addition to the standard short encyclopedia‐style articles, it contains an alphabetical list of 3000 mineral species, groups, varieties, and mineraloids (which, following Fleischer, is called a glossary); this glossary presents basic physical and chemical properties for each entry.Editor Keith Frye has made a major effort, detailed in the preface, to assist the reader/user in avoiding many of the pitfalls in mineral nomenclature. For example, the book presents the names of valid mineral species in lower‐case italic type, the names of series or groups in boldface italic letters, while varieties (and synonyms) are set in roman typeface. The worthwhile preface also contains a list, with addresses and date of first publication, of the world's 178 most important journals where mineral data are published. Also included are lists of the important mineral reference books and textbooks on mineralogy. The articles include one on museums with a 32‐page table of museums with addresses, size of collection, and specia

摘要:

As Barry says in his preface, this is the first book dealing with mountain weather and climate worldwide and represents a review of all publications on the subject. As a matter of fact, this approach is not the best because information is not always extensively presented. It looks like a colorful stone mosaic, where a lot of stones are missing. Barry says in his introduction that the studies were ‘often viewed only in the context of a particular local problem

摘要:

The European Geophysical Society and the European Seismological Commission held their general assemblies at the University of Leeds. Some of the scientific sessions on internal geophysics were organized jointly by the two organizations. The local organizing committee, chaired by J.C. Briden, must be warmly congratulated on the perfect management of the whole meeting, despite the overwhelmingly large number of participants—830 of whom were registered! This was more than twice as many as in the preceding year; it shows that the EGS is moving ahead and that it has gained momentum and wide recognition from the international scientific community, including the scientists from Asia and America, who contributed many excellent papers. It was a pleasure for the two societies to welcome to Leeds so many participants from abroa
