ERTS-1 MSS albedo data of Western Negev, Sinai and the Gaza strip are presented. A sharp contrast in albedo exists across the Negev-Sinai and Negev-Gaza strip borders. Anthropogenic desertification has occurred on the Arab side due to overgrazing and Bedouin agriculture, whereas natural vegetation grows much more abundantly on the Israeli side.
A coordinated rocket experiment was carried out on Nov. 20, 1970 at Eglin AFB, Fla. (30 deg N) to determine atmospheric layering and density distributions of ions and neutrals. The program measured vertical profiles between 70 and 150 km altitude of total neutrals, ions and electrons, individual species, temperature, density, diffusion coefficients, horizontal winds, and turbulent structure. A dynamic computer code model using these parameters was compared with the observed profiles. Wind fields were measured from seven chemical trails, separated up to 60 km horizontally and 600 sec in time. Kinetic temperatures were measured from fluorescence of chemically-released AlO, ranging from 440 to 680 K between 126 and 161 km. Densities derived from diffusion of the AlO ranged from 10 to 5 times 10 to the -12th power per cu cm between 126 and 139 km. A rocket-borne pitot probe showed wavelike density deviations from current standard atmosphere models, amounting to -25% at 80 and 110 km and to +25% at 100 and 125 km. The derived temperature profile from the pitot probe showed a double minimum at 74 and 102 km.
