摘要:
Commercialization of the land remote‐sensing system is virtually guaranteed with the successful completion last week of an informal conference on the differences in the House of Representatives and Senate versions of the Land Remote Sensing Commercialization Act (H.R. 5155). Moreover, the House ratified the compromise version on June 28; the Senate was expected to ratify the bill before the July 4 recess. The bill will then be sent to President Ronald Reagan for his signature. Also on June 28, the Secretary of Commerce announced his selection for final contract negotiations of two of the seven bids received this spring for the operation of Landsa

摘要:
The Ocean Sciences Section of AGU recognizes Wayne V. Burt's 36 years of participation, leadership, and service in the oceanographic community. He earned his B.S. degree in Mathematics at Pacific College in 1939, and after serving in the former Naval Weather Service (including study at the Naval Postgraduate School while it was still in Annapolis), he obtained his MS and Ph.D. degrees from the UCLA‐Scripps Institution of Oceanography program in 1948 and 1952, respectively.After serving on the faculty at the Chesapeake Bay Institute of The Johns Hopkins University, and on the research staff of the Department of Oceanography at the Univeristy of Washington, Wayne returned in 1954 to Oregon, where he had been raised, determined that the state needed a program in oceanography, regardless of whether or not it recognized this fact. The University of Oregon displayed little interest in his vision, but President Strand of Oregon State University (OSU) provided him with a niche; that is, a closet, where he could pursue his Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored research. This base allowed him to develop a proposal that led to funding under ONR's TENOC program (which supported the development of most of the “second generation” oceanographic institutions in the United States), and to formation of a Department of Oceanography in

摘要:
Professor Marcel Nicolet has been awarded the William Bowie Medal for 1984 because of his contribution to the elucidation of the chemistry of the earth's upper atmosphere and for acting as Secretary General of the Special Committee of the International Geophysical Year (1953–1960). Marcel Nicolet has made a greater contribution to our understanding of the chemistry of the earth's upper atmosphere than any other single individual alive or dead. Some of the contributions are (1) determination of photoionization and photodissociation coefficients; (2) showed the importance of diffusion in determining concentration profiles in the thermosphere; (3) elucidated the mechanism for the infrared airglow formation; (4) predicted the presence of the He layer; (5) explained the formation of theDregion as due to NO ionization by Lyman‐α radiation and cosmic rays; (6) predicted the presence of NO, NO2, HNO3, HO2, and H2O2in the upper atmosphere before they were measured; (7) was the first to recognize the importance of NOx(NO, NO2), and HOx(HO, HO2) in the upper atmosphere; (8) was the first to conclude that N2O by its reaction with O(1D) is important in the stratosphere as a source o
