TL;DR: The analysis of data from the Explorer 45 (S3-A) electrostatic analyzer in the energy range 5-30 keV has provided some new results on the ring current ion composition as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The analysis of data from the Explorer 45 (S3-A) electrostatic analyzer in the energy range 5-30 keV has provided some new results on the ring current ion composition. It has been well established that the storm time ring current has a decay time of several days, during which the particle fluxes decrease nearly monotonically. By analyzing the measured ion fluxes during the several day storm recovery period and assuming that beside hydrogen other ions were present and that the decays were exponential in nature, three separate lifetimes for the ions were established. These fitted decay lifetimes are in excellent agreement with the expected charge exchange decay lifetimes for H(+), O(+) and He(+) in the energy and L value range of the data.

TL;DR: In this article, a modified author co-citation analysis was performed to identify the interrelationships among the works of scholars in these two specialties and to identify how and to what extent their literatures were related.
Abstract: This article explores the interrelationships between the interdisciplinary specialties of the diffusion of innovations and technology transfer. Bibliometric data were utilized to examine the formal communication structures of these two specialties and to identify how and to what extent their literatures were related. A modified author co-citation analysis was performed to identify the interrelationships among the works of scholars in these two specialties. Co-citation analysis has been used to study other research fields and to identify with considerable accuracy the membership of research specialties. The article identifies the ideational links or cognitive relations between the works of the diffusion of innovations and the technology transfer scholars. Rip and Courtial (1984) stated that co-citation, like other scientometric techniques, is useful for analyzing developments in science "provided one is prepared to take the content of scientific articles into account" (p. 381). Accordingly, highly cited do...

TL;DR: In the Keys Area Microphysics Project (KAMP) as discussed by the authors, four impact disdrometers and 27 tipping bucket rain gauges were operated at 11 different sites during August and September 2001, as part of the Keys area microphysics project.
Abstract: Four impact disdrometers and 27 tipping bucket rain gauges were operated at 11 different sites during August and September 2001, as part of the Keys Area Microphysics Project. The rain gauge and disdrometer network was designed to study the range dependency of radar calibration and rainfall verification in tropical storms. The gauges were collocated at eight sites, while three to five gauge clusters were deployed at three sites. Four disdrometers were also collocated with rain gauges. Overall the experiment was quite successful, although some problems did occur including flooding of gauge loggers, vandalism, and excessive noise at disdrometer sites. Both a south-to-north and east-to-west rainfall gradient was observed, whereby the gauges on the western and northern sides of the Lower Keys recorded more rainfall. Considering the campaign-long rain accumulations, collocated gauges agreed well, with differences generally less than 2%, except for one gauge cluster where the rain accumulation differen...

TL;DR: The Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model 2000 Version (Mars-GRAM 2000) as mentioned in this paper is a modified version of the GRAM that uses a modified Stewart thermospheric model for higher altitudes and for dependence on solar activity.
Abstract: This report presents Mars Global Reference Atmospheric Model 2000 Version (Mars-GRAM 2000) and its new features. All parameterizations for temperature, pressure, density, and winds versus height, latitude, longitude, time of day, and L(sub s) have been replaced by input data tables from NASA Ames Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM) for the surface through 80-km altitude and the University of Arizona Mars Thermospheric General Circulation Model (MTGCM) for 80 to 170 km. A modified Stewart thermospheric model is still used for higher altitudes and for dependence on solar activity. "Climate factors" to tune for agreement with GCM data are no longer needed. Adjustment of exospheric temperature is still an option. Consistent with observations from Mars Global Surveyor, a new longitude-dependent wave model is included with user input to specify waves having 1 to 3 wavelengths around the planet. A simplified perturbation model has been substituted for the earlier one. An input switch allows users to select either East or West longitude positive. This memorandum includes instructions on obtaining Mars-GRAM source code and data files and for running the program. It also provides sample input and output and an example for incorporating Mars-GRAM as an atmospheric subroutine in a trajectory code.

TL;DR: In this paper, additional data obtained from the Apollo-16 and -17 missions, together with collateral calculations on background radiation effects, have enabled an improved subtraction of unwanted backgrounds from the diffuse cosmic gamma-ray data previously reported from Apollo-15.
Abstract: Additional data obtained from the Apollo-16 and -17 missions, together with collateral calculations on background radiation effects, have enabled an improved subtraction of unwanted backgrounds from the diffuse cosmic gamma-ray data previously reported from Apollo-15. As a result, the 1- to 10-MeV spectrum is lowered significantly and connects smoothly with recent data at other energies. The inflection reported previously is much less pronounced and has no more than a 1.5-sigma significance. Sky occultation by the Apollo-16 spacecraft shows the bulk of the 0.3- to 1-MeV radiation to be diffuse. The analysis of spurious backgrounds points to important improvements for future experiments designed for this spectral region.
