We seek to document and explain the lifecycle of the warm SST anomaly that intensified and weakened off the west coast of the United States to peak anomalies of 4 degrees Kelvin during April-June 1997.
In the boreal forest region and for coniferous forest species, the summer frost free period bounds the growing season length (Walter et Breckle 1993). For both coniferous and deciduous trees, their grown potential is further limited by their mineral and water uptake.
Trace gases measured by the Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy (ATMOS) instrument during the Mar/Apr 1992(AT-1), Apr 1993(AT-2), and Nov 1994(AT-3) space-shuttle missions have been mapped into equivalent latitude/potential temperature (EqL/0) coordinates.
Ground-based solar absorption spectra were measured from Fairbanks, Alaska (65 degrees North, 148 degrees West) and from Ny Alesund, Spitsbergen, (79 degrees North, 12 degrees East) from March to September 1997 by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectrometers.

The information contained in the presentation covers development work carried out under SDS projects. The intent of the effort is to find chrome(VI) free alternates to our current chromated processing solutions. The information presented reports progress in work aimed to replace our alkaline cleaner (Turco 4215), conversion coat (Iridite 14-2) and chrome (VI) compounds used in LOx tank hydrostatic proof test solution. To date we have found candidates for use in the proof test solution and alkaline cleaner. These candidates are in the final stages of testing. Lab data is reported in the presentation.
The present invention discloses an isolated electrostatic biased resonator gyroscope. The gyroscope includes an isolated resonator having a first and a second differential vibration mode, a baseplate supporting the isolated resonator, a plurality of excitation affixed to the baseplate for exciting the first differential vibration mode, a plurality of sensing electrodes affixed to the baseplate for sensing movement of the gyroscope through the second differential vibration mode and a plurality of bias electrodes affixed to the baseplate for trimming isolation of the resonator and substantially minimizing frequency split between the first and second differential vibration modes. Typically, the isolated resonator comprises a proof mass and a counterbalancing plate with the bias electrodes disposed on the baseplate below.
Stable isotope measurements of carbonate minerals contained within ALH84001 [1] suggest that fluids were present at 3.9 Gy on Mars [2, 3, 4, 5]. Both oxygen and carbon isotopes provide independent means of deciphering paleoenvironmental conditions at the time of carbonate mineral precipitation. In terrestrial carbonate rocks oxygen isotopes not only indicate the paleotemperature of the precipitating fluid, but also provide clues to environmental conditions that affected the fluid chemistry. Carbon isotopes, on the other hand, can indicate the presence or absence of organic compounds during precipitation (i.e. biogenically vs. thermogenically-generated methane), thus serving as a potential biomarker. We have undertaken a study of micro scale stable isotope variations measured in some terrestrial carbonates and the influence of organic compounds associated with the formation of these carbonates. Preliminary results indicate that isotope variations occur within narrow and discrete intervals, providing clues to paleoenvironmental conditions that include both biological and non-biological activity. These results carry implications for deciphering Martian isotope data and therefore potential biological prospecting on the planet Mars. Recently, Fourier Transform Spectrometer observations have detected methane occurring in the Martian atmosphere [6] that could be attributed to a possible biogenic source. Indeed, Mars Express has detected the presence of methane in the Martian atmosphere [7], with evidence indicating that methane abundances are greatest above those basins with high water concentrations.
