摘要:
A tabulation of the various levels of contribution to the AGU‐GIFT program indicates the number of members who have been “investing in the future of AGU.” More than 6,000 members have contributed to this appeal. Can you find your place in the matrix? The members of the Steering Committee for this program are very appreciative of your response and support. We thank each and all of you.The major support has come from the Individual Supporting Members and the Life Supporting Members. The lists of these donors have been increasing each year, almost doubling in number this year. More than 6,000 have now accepted the “voluntary contribution of J10” as shown on the annual dues invoices, and we are encouraged that so many have done this for 3 successive years. Those who made this contribution for the first time this year should plan ahead. The appeal will continue u

摘要:
Is your participation in AGU meetings limited by the lack of child care facilities? Would you be willing to pay for such services? The AGU Education and Human Resources Committee surveyed a sample of members, and our findings were inconclusive. If your meeting attendance depends on the availability of daycare, please write a brief note to that effect, and send it to the committee at AGU Headquarters. If response to this request is sufficient, this committee will recommend that some action be taken.

摘要:
After these heroics, the rest of the repair mission went more or less according to the (amended) script. The crew was able to retrieve the satellite, fix its attitude control system and coronagraph/polarimeter instrument as planned, then redeploy Solar Max in its 500‐km‐high orbit on April 12.Barely was the satellite back in service again when it got the chance to observe the eruption of a major solar flare, through what Solar Max project scientist Bruce Woodgate calls “a combination of anticipation and rapid re‐pointing.” The satellite had been near the middle of a 30‐day engineering checkout period when, on April 23, the onboard hard X ray burst spectrometer began detecting flare bursts in a particularly active region on the sun. Project scientists then requested Goddard technicians to move the satellite and point its narrow field instruments at the active region, with the result that half an hour later the satellite was perfectly positioned to record the largest flare of the current solar cycle occuring on the sun. “We got lucky there,” says Woodgate. So interesting were the data returning from this flare region that Solar Max was scheduled to remain in its “science mode” for about 2 weeks before picking up again with the engin

摘要:
Over the past few years, increased interest in groundwater monitoring has resulted in numerous new articles about, equipment for, and approaches to the field measurement of physical and chemical groundwater parameters.Ground Water Monitoring Technologyis a useful book that attempts to make sense of this recent information by organizing it into sections on monitoring the vadose zone (part 1), monitoring the zone of saturation (part 2), and groundwater sampling equipment (part 3). According to the preface, “A degree of discrimination was exercised in selecting technologies which were directly applicable for field use.” The book emphasizes “field proven methods which have been documented” at the expense of other promising but unproven field techniques, and it omits laboratory methods except where required for instrument calibration. Morrison is aware of the rapidly changing nature of current groundwater field techniques and has written the book so that it “will be useful even after a particular instrument becomes
