摘要:
Edward Olson Hulburt was born in Vermillion, South Dakota, on October 12, 1890, and died at his home in Easton, Maryland, on October 11, 1982. For 31 years he carried on a distinguished research career at the Naval Research Laboratory. From 1924 to 1949 he was head of the Physical Optics Division; then from 1949 to 1955 he served as the Laboratory's first director of research.At his passing, Hulburt was perhaps the last of a remarkable generation of scientists who participated in the discovery of the ionosphere and developed much of our earliest understanding of solar terrestrial relationships. The story of those early years of discovery contains Hulburt's most brilliant research.

摘要:
Joseph V. Smith's ‘Hazards session’ proposal (Eos, September 14, Forum section) was very interesting and well worth serious consideration by AGU. Scientists should become more active in public affairs, especially in providing the scientific facts that can contribute to rational public decisions. The proposed special sessions would have even more impact if they were followed by a published summary that could be presented to appropriate public officials.In addition to the list provided by Smith, there are a number of hydrologic hazards, such as floods, that could be considered. A hazard of special interest to me is land subsidence, or land‐surface sinking. To a large extent this is a man‐induced hazard resulting from the withdrawal of water, oil, or gas from subsurface zones and which can create, for example, such serious conditions as the 9m (29 ft) of subsidence that has occurred since 1925 in the San Joaquin Valley, California (see cover). Because subsidence frequently occurs so subtly and slowly that it does not make news headlines, the public doesn't become concerned until the situation is of crisis prop

摘要:
‘I was five years old when I first asked my mother about the lights in the night sky, and I haven't run out of questions yet.’ So says Helen Hart, the 1982 recipient of the June Bacon‐Bercy Scholarship for Women in Atmospheric Sciences.A graduate student in the astrophysics department at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Hart earned her B.A. degree in 1981 with high honors in physics at the University of Montana in Missoula. Her research interests center on atmospheric structures and motions and on the developmental history o f the solar system. ‘I would like to study the effects of albedo changes over varying scale lengths on energy distribution and atmospheric dynamics,’ Hart said. Currently, she is a research assistant for the Voyager 2 photopolarimeter team at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the university. She is working on using data on the polarization of scattered light to model the atmospheres of Saturn and its satell
