摘要:

With all due respect to Dr. Morse of Massachusetts, I must submit an opinion quite opposite to the one he expressed in the March 1974 EOS Forum page. I find the advance publishing of abstracts one of the most valuable aspects of EOS. GAP (Geophysical Abstracts in Press) emphasizes the value of a well‐written abstract, which should convey the most important results. Second, it expedites publication of those essential details. Finally, few of us can afford personal subscriptions to all the journals of AGU, and the abstracts tell us which issues in a library are worth tracking dow

摘要:

On the occasion of the 1974 honors banquet of the AGU, I was seated next to Maurice Ewing, who was the recipient that evening of the Bucher medal. (He had received the Bowie award in 1957.) The whole affair was especially pleasant. The other recipients of awards, A.E. Ringwood, Bowie medalist; and Amos Nur, Mcelwane award, have made distinguished contributions, and they are well‐rounded scientists who honor the union. But Maurice Ewing has an especial claim to the warm regard of his colleagues. He has been a member of the union since 1931, and has presented scores of papers at union sessions and served the union in many ways, including the presidency from 1956 to 1959. His pioneering efforts in oceanography captured for him and for this country a preeminent role in the field. I will not attempt to catalog his achievements. Frank Press, who gave the citation, did a splendid jo

摘要:

Geomagnetic field observations at the earth's surface are of interest to a variety of geophysicists and characteristically contain effects due to currents in the regions above the surface. A symposium on this subject was held during the April 16–20, 1973 meeting of the AGU and was cosponsored by the sections of Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism and Solar‐Planetary Relationships‐Magnetospheric Physics. The program contained invited and contributed papers on the basic physics involved, the configuration of the sources, and the local time variations. The subsequent four papers represent some highlights from the invited reviews given by the authors. This introduction is intended to give some additional background on the geomagnetic

摘要:

Recently Columbia University awarded Kemp medals for 'distinguishedpublic service by a geologist' to Gerald J. Wasserburg, professor of geologyand geophysics at the California Institute of Technology, and the late PaulWerner Gast, who was professor of geology at Columbia and chief of theDivision of Planetary and Earth Sciences in NASA's Johnson Space Center inHouston. Professor Wasserburg*s response at the presentation constitutes anappropriate tribute to the memory of Paul Gast, who at the time of his deathwas president of AGU's Section of Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology.(Ed.)

摘要:

An error has been discovered in the reported recovery figures for leg 24 in the abstract 'Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks Recovered by the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Legs 1‐31' by W.B. Friesen (EOS,54, 972‐985, 1973).A revision of Figure 7 showing the correct recoveries is reproduced below. The leg 24 recovery and the cumulative recovery in Table 1 and the leg 24 recovery in the histogram (Figure 1) should be adjusted to show 74.0 m. Changes in Figure 7 should also be made in the world map (Figure

摘要:

Figure 1 contains two photographs obtained from a military satellite that is part of the U.S. Air Force's Defense Systems Application Program (DSAP). The U.S. Air Force Air Weather Service Data Acquisition and Processing Program (Dapp) now routinely provides similar satellite photographs to the Environmental Data Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at their National Geophysical and Solar Terrestrial Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, for copying and for general distribution. The data center then sends the original photographs to the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories for archiving.

摘要:

Using a unique and versatile remote‐sensing system, scientists of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have begun probing clouds, mountain waves and winds, urban air pollution, and a host of weather systems with powerful beams of laser light.Developed by the Wave Propagation Laboratory (one of NOAA's Environmental Research Laboratories in Boulder, Colorado), the new system is a product of a continuing program in atmospheric spectroscopy. The system had its first field trial during November 1973 in the Denver Brown Cloud study, conducted under the auspices of the Environmental Protection Agenc

摘要:

Top earth scientists of more than 40 nations will assemble in Honolulu, Hawaii, August 26–30, 1974, for a conference aimed at advancing the exploration and development of the total energy and mineral resources of the circum‐Pacific area.The Circum‐Pacific Energy and Mineral Resources Conference is sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the Committee for Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas (CCOP‐a United Nations funded organization), and the Pacific Science Association (PSA). Major contributors to the ambitious program include several resource specialists of the U.S. Geological

摘要:

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology are sponsoring an International Colloquium on Drops and Bubbles—Their Science and the Systems They Model, August 28–30, 1974, in Pasadena, Calfornia.Interest in the science of liquid drops and bubbles extends beyond those who work in fundamental fluid dynamics. Workers in meteorology, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and space processing have an evident and very practical concern with this science. Workers in nuclear physics and in astrophysics use liquid drops and bubbles as models for phenomena in atomic nuclei and in self‐gravitating astronomical sy

The National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have announced an agreement for the design, building, and testing of an experimental 100‐kW wind turbine generator.The project, which is a part of the Wind Energy Conversion Systems research program of the NSF, will be implemented by NASA's Lewis Research Center at Cleveland, Ohio. The experimental system, equipped with a 125‐foot‐diameter rotor blade mounted atop a 125‐foot tower, will be erected and tested at the NASA Lewis Plum Brook test area at Sandusk
