    A case for submergence of magnetic flux in a solar active region (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: In NOAA Active Region 2372 (April 1980), 4 x 10 to the 20th maxwells of magnetic flux concentrated in an area 30 arcsec across disappeared overnight. Vector magnetograms show that all components of the magnetic field weakened together. If the field had weakened through diffusion or fluid flow, 90 percent of the original flux would still have been detected by the magnetograph within a suitably enlarged area. In fact there was a threefold decrease in detected flux. Evidently, magnetic field was removed from the photosphere. Since the disappearing flux was located in a region of low magnetic shear and low activity in H-alpha and Ly-alpha, it is unlikely that the field dissipated through reconnection. It is argued that the most likely possibility is that flux submerged. The observations suggest that even during the growth phase of active regions, submergence is a strong process comparable in magnitude to emergence.

    Heating the sun's lower transition region with fine-scale electric currents (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Analytical and observational data are presented to show that the lower transition zone, a 100 km thick region at 10,000-200,000 K between the solar chromosphere and corona, is heated by local electric currents. The study was spurred by correlations between the enhanced atmospheric heating and magnetospheric flux in the chromospheric network and active regions. Field aligned current heated flux loops are asserted to mainly reside in and make up most of the transition region. It is shown that thermal conduction from the sides of hot gas columns generated by the current dissipation is the source of the observed temperature distribution in the transition regions.

    LACIE and AgRISTARS (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Involvement of the USDA in the development and use of remote sensing in support of major departmental missions began in the 1940's with the use of aerial cameras mounted in fixed wing aircraft to obtain photographs of the country's land area. Cooperation with NOAA and NASA in the large area crop inventory experiment (1974 to 1978) and results from the Illinois crop acreage experiment (1977) led to the establishment in 1978 of the AgRISTARS project program, a six-year effect to determine the usefulness, cost, and extent to which aerospace remote sensing data can be integrated into existing or future USDA systems to improve the objectivity, reliability, timeliness, and adequacy of information required to carry out agency missions. The objectives of the eight technical projects of AgRISTARS are summarized.

    Penetrative convection (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The current state of understanding of the most directly observable solar convection, the granulation and supergranulation is summarized. The body of work in which the complete time dependent Navier-Stokes equations and entropy transport equation are solved for a fully compressible atmosphere is considered. Relevant anelastic and incompressible calculations in two dimensions are also discussed.

    Observation of the impulse phase of a simple flare (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The paper presents a broad range of complementary observations (SMM and ground-based) of the onset and impulsive phase of the fairly large (1B, M1.2) but simple two-ribbon flare which occurred at 19:15 UT on November 1, 1980 in the northern part of the active region Boulder No. AR2776. It is found that the overall magnetic field configuration in which the flare occurred was a fairly simple, closed arch containing nonpotential substructure; the flare occurred spontaneously within the arch (it was not triggered by emerging magnetic flux). The two major spikes of the impulsive energy release are examined, and the three immediate products of this energy release are discussed.

    Evidence for a poleward meridional flow on the sun (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Two subsets of all polar zone filaments, designated polemost filament and polar filament bands, are defined for observational study of their behavior, which is compared with the evolution of the polar magnetic field over Howard and LaBonte's (1981) activity cycle. The magnetic data show that the polar magnetic fields are built up and maintained by the episodic arrival of discrete f-polarity regions originating in active region latitudes and subsequently drifting to the poles. F-polarity regions are carried poleward by a meridional flow, rather than by diffusion. It is noted that the mean latitude of the polemost filaments tracks the boundary of the polar field cap, and undergoes an equatorward dip during each arrival of additional polar field, and that the polar filament bands track the boundary latitudes of the unipolar regions, drifting poleward with the regions at about 10 m/sec.

    Microwave remote sensing: Active and passive. Volume 1 - Microwave remote sensing fundamentals and radiometry (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The three components of microwave remote sensing (sensor-scene interaction, sensor design, and measurement techniques), and the applications to geoscience are examined. The history of active and passive microwave sensing is reviewed, along with fundamental principles of electromagnetic wave propagation, antennas, and microwave interaction with atmospheric constituents. Radiometric concepts are reviewed, particularly for measurement problems for atmospheric and terrestrial sources of natural radiation. Particular attention is given to the emission by atmospheric gases, clouds, and rain as described by the radiative transfer function. Finally, the operation and performance characteristics of radiometer receivers are discussed, particularly for measurement precision, calibration techniques, and imaging considerations.

    The role of magnetic field shear in solar flares (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Observational results and their physical implications on magnetic field shear in relation to flares are presented. The observed character of magnetic shear and its involvement in the buildup and release of flare energy are reviewed. It is pointed out that the magnetic field in active regions can become sheared by several processes, including shear flow in the photosphere, flux emergence, magnetic reconnection, and flux submergence. Modeling studies of the buildup of stored magnetic energy by shearing are reported which show ample energy storage for flares. Observational evidence is presented that flares are triggered when the field shear reaches a critical degree, in qualitative agreement with some theoretical analyses of sheared force-free fields. Finally, a scenario is outlined for the class of flares resulting from large-scale magnetic shear; the overall instability driving the energy release results from positive feedback between reconnection and eruption of the sheared field.

    Global Biogeochemistry: an Overview (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-12
    Description: The dynamic biogeochemical equilibria among the major pools of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus represented by terrestrial biomes, the world's oceans, and the troposphere are disturbed. Since even the most rapid processes of adjustments among the reservoirs take decades, new equilibria are far from established. These human-induced perturbations and the system's subsequent responses constitute an on-going biogeochemical experiment at the global level. Current and new information must be combined in a way that allows testing of various hypotheses about the workings of global biogeochemical systems. This enables assessment of current knowledge and evaluation of the gaps.

    Determination of the Sources of Radar Scattering (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-09-10
    Description: The sources of radar backscattering sources in vegetation canopies and surface targets were determined. The fundamental questions were, how much of backscattering is due to direct volume backscatter by the canopy, the soil, and indirect backscatter by soil/vegetation, and what are the relative roles in terms of scattering. The results for crops, milo plant, wheat plant, soybean plant, and surface targets are reported.
