Since February 2002, the SABER (sounding of the atmosphere using broadband emission radiometry) satellite instrument has measured temperatures throughout the entire middle atmosphere. Employing the same techniques as previously used for CRISTA (cryogenic infrared spectrometers and telescopes for the atmosphere), we deduce from SABER V1.06 data 5 years of gravity wave (GW) temperature variances from altitudes of 20 to 100 km. A typical annual cycle is presented by calculating averages ...
Observations from the Sounding of the Atmosphere with Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument on the NASA/Thermospheric Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics satellite show a surprising decrease in the inferred atomic hydrogen (H) over the polar regions in the lowermost thermosphere during the summer. This contrasts with predictions by global models that H should peak in this region at this time. We suggest the decrease is a consequence of the sequestering ...
Trust is an essential element that forms the core of the professional military ethic. Trust, from an organizational perspective, facilitates the lasting commitment to meet strategic aims. Trust involves the expectation that the object of trust will behave in a favorable manner, and includes the willingness of a person to be vulnerable to the actions of another based on this expectation. Trust binds the Army together as a cohesive unit. ...
