Neutron shadow holography is a method of obtaining a
three-dimensional neutron radiograph of an object using a
Fresnel zone plate as an encoding aperture. The object is
reconstructed by passing laser light through a miniature
copy of the radiograph. The technique has been applied
extensively with X-rays and gamma rays...
Hydrological processes in the humid tropics differ from other regions in having greater energy inputs and faster rates of change, including human-induced change. Human influences on population growth, land use and climate change will profoundly influence tropical hydrology, yet understanding of key hydrological interactions is limited. We propose that efforts...
The present paper describes the Variability of the American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean–Cloud–Atmosphere–Land Study (VOCALS), an international research program focused on the improved understanding and modeling of the southeastern Pacific (SEP) climate system on diurnal to interannual time scales. In the framework of the SEP climate, VOCALS has two fundamental...
The MILDEX cruise of October - November 1983 was a
multiship (including FLIP) experiment involving intensive
sampling of the ocean by a variety of instruments. The RV
Wecoma operated by Oregon State University College of
Oceanography sailed from Newport, Oregon on October 21 and
returned to San Diego, California on...
Photosynthetic diatoms and marine bacteria contribute about one third of the net primary production in marine environments. Understanding the interactions between these two organisms is potentially important to the over all flow of carbon in the marine ecosystem.
We studied avian development in 49 species of temperate and 153 species of tropical New World passerine birds to determine how growth rates, and incubation and nestling periods, varied in relation to other life-history traits. We collected growth data and generated unbiased mass and tarsus growth rate estimates (mass n...
