Rotation Curve of the Milky Way out to ~200 kpc
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of uncertainties in the values of the Galactic constants (GCs) R 0 and V 0 (these being the Sun's distance from and circular rotation speed around the Galactic center, respectively) and the velocity anisotropy parameter β of the halo tracer objects used for deriving the rotation curve at large galactocentric distances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rates of secondary production and primary emission of formaldehyde (CH2O) from petrochemical industrial facilities and on-road vehicles in the Houston Texas region were evaluated based upon ambient measurements collected during field studies in 2000, 2006 and 2009.
The Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document for the Derivation of Range and Range Distributions from Laser Pulse Waveform Analysis for Surface Elevations, Roughness, Slope, and Vegetation Heights

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the theory and implementation behind the algorithms used to produce the level 1B products for waveform parameters and global elevation and the level 2 products that are specific to ice sheet, sea ice, land, and ocean elevations respectively.

Magnetic properties of X-ray bright points
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of X-ray bright points (XBP) and ephemeral active regions (ER) are compared using high-resolution Kitt Peak National Observatory magnetograms and sequences of simultaneous S-054 soft Xray solar images.

On entrainment rates in nocturnal marine stratocumulus
Bjorn Stevens,Bjorn Stevens,Donald H. Lenschow,Ian Faloona,Chin-Hoh Moeng,D. K. Lilly,Byron Blomquist,Gabor Vali,Alan R. Bandy,Teresa Campos,H. Gerber,S. Haimov,B. Morley,Donald C. Thornton +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the second Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (D&C) study and found that the cloud-top entrainment instability parameter was well beyond its critical value and the cloud did indeed deepen through the night.
