This study was conducted to test a photographic method of determining the
relationship, if any, between the spectral reflectance and measured levels of nitrogen and
chlorophyll in plots of ryegrass turf. Color and color infrared aerial photos were taken of a
grid of 375 plots of ryegrass in June and...
The visual programming language Forms/3 currently uses a graphical user interface implemented in Garnet. Garnet was developed by the User Interface Software Group in the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but is no longer supported. This paper presents an implementation of a user interface for Forms/3 written...
Computer models are used to simulate the nonlinear formation of images of obscurations in laser beams. The predictions of the model are found to be in good agreement with measurements conducted in the nonlinear regime corresponding to a typical solid-state laser operation. In this regime, peak-to-mean fluence ratios large enough...
The Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic compositions of five Cretaceous guyots (Limalok, Lo-En, Wodejebato, MIT, and Takuyo-Daisan) within the West Pacific Seamount Province (WPSP) indicate that they originated from geochemically enriched mantle sources. They are characterized by large isotopic variations in Pb (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 18.58-19.80, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.55-15.68, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb...
Core-top benthic foraminifera (Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi) from a depth transect of Soutar box cores from the Ontong-Java Plateau (1.6 – 4.4 km) were analyzed for cadmium, barium, and strontium (Cd/Ca, Ba/Ca, and Sr/Ca) and for their stable isotopic composition (δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O). We also measure bottom water δ¹³C, Cd, and Ba...
Observations during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment in summer 1988 reveal the
presence of deep phytoplankton layers in a coastal upwelling system. The layers occur throughout the
CTZ study area, including a strong baroclinic jet which was present over the period of the experiment.
On the basis of a...
The physical interpretation of simultaneous multiangle observations represents a relatively new approach to remote
sensing of terrestrial geophysical and biophysical parameters. Multiangle measurements enable retrieval of physical scene
characteristics, such as aerosol type, cloud morphology and height, and land cover (e.g., vegetation canopy type), providing
improved albedo accuracies as well...
