摘要:
A review panel has apparently dealt the decisive blow to the use of massive platforms for NASA's Earth Observing System. The engineering review panel, chaired by Edward Frieman, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, also urged NASA to cooperate with the Departments of Defense and Energy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to get EOS off the ground as quickly as possible. The panel also expressed considerable skepticism about EOSDIS, the system's vast information system.Frieman discussed the panel's findings on September 26 before the House science committee's subcommittee on space. The panel, charged by the president in March 1991 with reviewing the platform configuration and launch sequence of EOS, released its report on September 23.

摘要:
The following resolutions, submitted to the IUGG Resolutions Committee by the Union's seven member associations, were voted on at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics General Assembly in Vienna. The resolutions were approved on August 23 by a vote of the IUGG Council, the Union's governing body, which is made up of the chief delegates of each member country.

摘要:
The Office of Naval Research announces a new Accelerated Research Initiative (ARI) on the electromagnetic properties of sea ice. The ARI is sponsored by the Ocean Optics, Remote Sensing, Arctic Sciences, Systems and Electromagnetic Theory, and Mathematics Programs. Funding in the FY1993–FY1997 time frame will support innovative research on sea ice interaction with electromagnetic radiation from the microwave through the ultraviolet.The ARI's goals are: to understand the mechanisms and processes that relate the electromagnetic properties of sea ice to its physical and morphological characteristics; to exploit this understanding to develop and verify predictive models of electromagnetic radiation interaction with sea ice; and to develop and verify mathematical inverse scattering theory using electromagnetic observables to reconstruct sea ice history geophysical properties. A balanced program of theory, laboratory, and Arctic field work is anticipated. The field work will be coordinated with the ONR Arctic Sciences Geodesic Underice Tramway Syste
