Broadcast media and the dissemination of weather information
Although television is the public's most preferred source of weather information, it fails to provide weather reports to those groups who seek the information early in the day and during the day. The result is that many people most often use radio as a source of information, yet preferring the medium of television. The public actively seeks weather information from both radio and TV stations, usually seeking information on current conditions and short range forecasts. forecasts. Nearly all broadcast stations surveyed were eager to air severe weather bulletins quickly and often. Interest in Nowcasting was high among radio and TV broadcasters, with a significant portion indicating a willingness to pay something for the service. However, interest among TV stations in increasing the number of daily reports was small.

Search and dissemination in data processing
Manual retrieval methods were used to complete 54 searches of interest for the General Aviation Newsletter. Subjects of search ranged from television transmission to machine tooling, Apollo moon landings, electronic equipment, and aerodynamics studies.

Processing of ERTS imagery for dissemination purposes
The author has identified the following significant results. This work reveals that the normal color composite rendition of land areas is not suitable for the depiction of clear shallow seas where optimum depiction of the sea bottom is critical. Either in the digital or analog, domain response must be altered from that now employed for land areas.

Processing of LANDSAT imagery for dissemination purposes
The author has identified the following significant results. The differentiation between bands 4 and 5 was achieved through enhancement. Depiction of dormant vegetation on the upper Chesapeake Bay image map in tones of green is an example of significant difference between bands 4 and 5 which can be achieved through proper enhancement.

User data dissemination concepts for earth resources, appendixes
A number of appendices were presented, dealing with the following topics: (1) a summary of the recommendations for spectral band location from six studies and for six disciplines. (2) demonstration of the LANDSAT scenes required for a satellite of 18-day repeat cycle, and comparison of the data volume associated with scene transmission with the data volume based on length-of-swath estimates, (3) presentation of a sample of the potential user demand projected based on polar orbiter passes over Conus and Alaska, (4) presentation of the nominal and expanded user demands for both Conus and Alaska, (5) derivation of a mathematical relation, (6) tables giving cost calculations for certain data points, (7) presentation of the UOT G/T and link budgets for leased-transponder transmission alternative, and (8) flow charts of the simulation program.

LANDSAT D data transmission and dissemination study
An assessment of the quantity of data processed by the system is discussed investigating the various methods for transmission within the system. Various methods of data storage are considered. It is concluded that the entire processing system should be located in White Sands, New Mexico.

Disseminating technological information on remote sensing to potential users
The Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing developed materials and programs which range from short tutorial brochures to post-doctoral research programs which may span several years. To organize both the content and the instructional techniques, a matrix of instructional materials was conceptualized. Each row in the matrix represents a subject area in remote sensing and each column in the matrix represents a different type media or instructional strategy.

Alternatives for NASTRAN maintenance, modification and dissemination
Various alternatives to direct NASA support of the program are considered ranging from no support at one end of the spectrum to subsidizing a non profit user's group at the other. Of all the alternatives that are developed, the user group appears to be most viable. NASA's past and future roles in the development of computerized technology are also considered. The need for an institute for computational analysis is identified and NASA's possible involvement is described. The goals of the proposed institute and research funds to support an activity that has the potential of a much larger impact on the technical community are identified.

Collection, processing and dissemination of data for the national solar demonstration program
A national solar data system developed for the DOE by IBM provides for automatic gathering, conversion, transfer, and analysis of demonstration site data. NASA requirements for this system include providing solar site hardware, engineering, data collection, and analysis. The specific tasks include: (1) solar energy system design/integration; (2) developing a site data acquisition subsystem; (3) developing a central data processing system; (4) operating the test facility at Marshall Space Flight Center; (5) collecting and analyzing data. The systematic analysis and evaluation of the data from the National Solar Data System is reflected in a monthly performance report and a solar energy system performance evaluation report.

The acquisition, storage, and dissemination of LANDSAT and other LACIE support data
Activities performed at the LACIE physical data library are described. These include the researching, acquisition, indexing, maintenance, distribution, tracking, and control of LACIE operational data and documents. Much of the data available can be incorporated into an Earth resources data base. Elements of the data collection that can support future remote sensing programs include: (1) the LANDSAT full-frame image files; (2) the microfilm file of aerial and space photographic and multispectral maps and charts that encompasses a large portion of the Earth's surface; (3) the map/chart collection that includes various scale maps and charts for a good portion of the U.S. and the LACIE area in foreign countries; (4) computer-compatible tapes of good quality LANDSAT scenes; (5) basic remote sensing data, project data, reference material, and associated publications; (6) visual aids to support presentation on remote sensing projects; and (7) research acquisition and handling procedures for managing data.

Dissemination, resuspension, and filtration of carbon fibers
Carbon fiber transport was studied using mathematical models established for other pollution problems. It was demonstrated that resuspension is not a major factor contributing to the risk. Filtration and fragmentation tests revealed that fiber fragmentation shifts the fiber spectrum to shorter mean lengths in high velocity air handling systems.

Improving NASA's technology transfer process through increased screening and evaluation in the information dissemination program
The current status of NASA's technology transfer system can be improved if the technology transfer process is better understood. This understanding will only be gained if a detailed knowledge about factors generally influencing technology transfer is developed, and particularly those factors affecting technology transfer from government R and D agencies to industry. Secondary utilization of aerospace technology is made more difficult because it depends on a transfer process which crosses established organizational lines of authority and which is outside well understood patterns of technical applications. In the absence of a sound theory about technology transfer and because of the limited capability of government agencies to explore industry's needs, a team approach to screening and evaluation of NASA generated technologies is proposed which calls for NASA, and other organizations of the private and public sectors which influence the transfer of NASA generated technology, to participate in a screening and evaluation process to determine the commercial feasibility of a wide range of technical applications.
