| The summer extent of the Arctic sea-ice cover has decreased in recent decades and there have been alterations in the timing and duration of the summer melt season. These changes in ice conditions have affected the partitioning of solar radiation in the Arctic atmosphere-ice-ocean system. The impact of sea-ice changes on solar partitioning is examined on a pan-Arctic scale using a 25km 25km Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid for the years ... |

| For many oceanic studies, it is required to know the distribution of visible solar radiation (EPAR) in the upper water column. One way to reach this is by remote sensing. This includes two components: First, EPAR at surface is calculated based on atmosphere properties along with the position of the Sun. Second, the vertical attenuation of EPAR (KPAR) is derived from products of ocean-color remote sensing. Currently, KPAR is estimated ... |

| This work was motivated by the desire to develop a mixed layer model which more successfully parameterized the principal physical processes responsible for mixing. The goal was improved prediction of the short-term (days to weeks) evolution of upper ocean vertical structure. Analysis of recent observations (Weller and Plueddemann, 1996; Gnanadesikan, et al., submitted) indicated that traditional mixed layer models performed poorly during periods immediately following strong wind events, when local ... |

The F-region (120- 1600 km) is a partially ionized medium where 0+ and 0 are the major ion and neutral species, respectively. The thermospheric winds at these altitudes are driven primarily by pressure gradient forces resulting from the solar heating during the day and cooling at night. For this study, ... |

| The correlation statistics of meteorological fields have been of interest in weather forecasting for many years and are also of interest in climate studies. A better understanding of the seasonal variation of correlation statistics can be used to determine how the seasonal cycle of temperature fluctuations should be simulated in noise-forced energy balance models.

| Solar-thermal propulsion relies on the conversion of concentrated solar energy into kinetic energy (in the exhaust gases) in order to provide thrust. Solar radiation is focused into a blackbody cavity in which the heat is absorbed and transferred to the hydrogen fuel through a thermal absorberiheat exchanger. Performance increases are obtained by increasing the efficiency of the absorber, thereby increasing the heat transfer to the hydrogen fuel. The absorber/exchanger itself ... |

| Thermosonde data reveals a diurnal daytime shift in measured levels of C square (n) in the free atmosphere. The shift is manifested in two ways. First, an apparent offset in the smallest measured values of C square (n) exists. Secondly, the curve of the average profile shows an enhancement over nighttime profiles. Related optical and radar measurements have indicated that differences between day and night probably exist, but because of ... |

| Fluctuating temperature structures in the atmosphere induce phase perturbations in a propagating laser beam. These turbulent conditions occur throughout the atmosphere and cause the laser beam to spread and alter is centroid. There are several methods to measure the parameters of optical turbulence in the atmosphere, but few that will determine them as a function of altitude at all levels. One method of measuring altitude profiles of turbulence is with ... |
