    Description: Die Zusammenstellung der Foraminiferen (535 Taxa) und Ostrakoden (147 Taxa) beruht auf der Verarbeitung der verfügbaren Literatur. Da spezielle taxonomische Arbeiten in diesem Zusammenhang nicht möglich waren, finden sich in den Tabellen auch noch die alten Namen. Es werden kurze Angaben über stratigraphisch wichtige Formen und zur Ökologie gemacht.
    Description: Abstract: The synopsis of the foraminifers (535 taxa) and ostracods (147 taxa) from the “Pre-aquitanian’’ of the Mainz basin is based on a critical review of the available literature. As in this context special taxonomic studies were not intended the earlier taxonomic names are stillto be found. Brief data are given on biostratigraphically important taxa and to the ecology.

    Description: Die Küsten des nördlichen Hokkaidos gehören zu den äquatornächsten Bereichen, die in saisonalem Wechsel einer wellen- und strömungsdominierten Sommerformung (8—10 Monate) und einer packeis- und frostinduzierten Winterformung (2—4 Monate) unterliegen. Es werden für diesen Raum die typischen Prozesse der Sommer- und Wintermonate beschrieben. Im Sommer werden die Küsten wesentlich stärker geformt als im Winter und die durch Eispressung entstandenen Formen an den Stränden und Dünen überdauern nur in Relikten. Dennoch kann die Zone der saisonal vereisten Küsten klimageomorphologisch von den Küsten wärmerer Breiten abgegrenzt werden, da nur hier ein derart großer Kontrast zwischen Sommer- und Winterformung existiert. Diese Grenze ist allerdings ein breiter Saum und kein schmaler Übergang, wie es für solche physisch geographischen Grenzen die Regel ist.

    Description: 1977 wurde - ausgelöst durch bauliche Maßnahmen - in einer sechsmonatigen Notgrabung der westlich anschließende Teil der schon seit 1952 bekannten mittelpaläolithischen Fundstelle Salzgitter-Lebenstedt untersucht. Die pflanzlichen Großreste (Früchte, Samen, Gewebereste der Hauptfundschicht Einheit C) zeigen ein gemäßigt subarktisches Klima an, das neben kälteertragenden Arten auch wärmebedürftigen Pflanzensippen ein Fortkommen gestattete. Tümpel und Wasserlachen wurden von Laichkrautrasen eingenommen, Seggenrieder besiedelten die umgebenden semiterrestrischen Bereiche (Niedermoore). Holzreste von Birke und Kiefer weisen auf eine lichte Parktundra hin. Zeitlich gehört diese Artenkonstellation in kaltzeitliche Interstadiale. Die über der Einheit C liegenden Strata A und B müssen nach ihren pflanzlichen Makrofossilien in einem kälteren Abschnitt abgelagert worden sein. Darüber wird an anderer Stelle berichtet werden.
    Description: The middle palaeolithic site of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt, known already since 1952, was subject to examination over a period of six months − caused by building measures - in 1977. The plant macrofossils (fruits, seeds, tissues) of the stratum C indicate a moderate subarctic Climate which, in addition to arctophilous plant taxa, also permitted thermophilous species to thrive. The ponds and puddles were occupied by pondweed associations. The surrounding areas (fens) were colonized by sedge reeds. Wood residues of the species birch and pine indicate a sparse tree-tundra. Chronologically, these vegetation patterns developed in glacial interstadials. According to the macrofossil investigations the strata A and B, which are situated above the layer C, must have been deposited in a colder period. On these strata it will be reported in another paper.

    Description: Es wird der 1976 angelegte Regenerationsversuch beschrieben, er soll helfen, folgende Fragen zu beantworten: Ist Bunkerde notwendig? Falls ja, welche Mächtigkeit? Ist Planierung vorteilhaft? Welcher Feuchtezustand sollte angestrebt werden? Die hydrologischen Ergebnisse lauten: - Nach mehreren Trockenjahren (1972/76) hat das Moor bis 1980 mehr als 350 mm Niederschlag im Torf gespeichert, dabei ist die Mooroberfläche bis zu 20 cm aufgequollen. - Die Oberfläche des (Grund-)Stauwassers im Moor ist von 100 cm unter Flur bis zur Mooroberfläche angestiegen, in Mulden steht es zeitweilig bis zu 15 cm über Gelände. - Die höhenmäßigen Unterschiede der Stauwasser-Oberfläche zwischen den Vernässungs-Versuchsvarianten "feucht - naß - sehr naß" betragen jeweils 5-6 cm. - Der erste Oberflächen-Abfluß wurde nach der Schneeschmelze im März 1979 gemessen, er trat während der folgenden Winter regelmäßig auf. - Der Grundwasserspiegel im Liegenden (pleistozäner Sand) ist von 1976 bis 1980 um rd. 175 cm angestiegen; das Grundwasser unter dem Moor ist damit wieder schwach gespannt.
    Description: The field experiments for bog regeneration, started in 1976, are described. The following questions shall be answered: - Is top spit necessary? If it is so, in which thickness? - Is levelling advantageous? - Which soil moisture is the best? The hydrological results are: - After several dry years (1972/76) the peat layer has until 1980 stored more than 350 mm rainfall. Thereby the peat surface is swollen up by about 20 cm. - The surface of the ground-water (damned-water) in the peat layer has risen by more than 100 cm up to the peat surface, in shallow bog hollows the water level stands from time to time up to 15 cm above the peat surface. - The height differences between the moisture plots "most - wet - very wet" are 5-6 cm respectively. - The first surface run-off was measured after snow melting in March 1979, in the following winters run-off took place regularly. - From 1976 to 1980 the ground-water layer in the sand subsoil rose about 175 cm, since then the ground-water in the sand has a shallow pressure into the peat layer.

    Description: Leegmoorkulturen, rekultiviert aus teilabgetorften Hochmooren nach dem Verfahren der Deutschen Hochmoorkultur, tendieren mit abnehmender Bunkerdemächtigkeit zu zunehmender Staunässe. Tiefpflügen von Bunkerde und Schwarztorf zur Vertiefung der Staunässesohle brachte in einem 5-jährigen Feldversuch nicht den erwarteten Erfolg. Die Erträge nahmen besonders in nassen Jahren mit zunehmender Pflugtiefe und Versuchsdauer ab. Dieses Versagen einer neuen Rekultivierungsmaßnahme wird durch zunehmende Lagerungsdichte, zunehmenden Scherwiderstand und davon abhängig verminderter Durchlässigkeit bodenphysikalisch erklärt.
    Description: Cut-over bogs, cultivated according to the German raised-bog cultivation method, tend to become increasingly wet with decreasing thickness of the topspit layer. It was tried to lower the damming-up horizon at the contact of the top-spit layer and the underlying black peat by deep ploughing and mixing top spit and black peat. The result of a five years' field trial was however negative. The grain yields decreased with increasing ploughing depth and with time, especially in wet years.The failure of this new recultivation method is explained by the change of soil-physical parameters: increase of bulk density and shear resistance and decrease of water permeability.

    Description: Seit gut 20 Jahren wird die Grundwassernutzung im Rahmen des "New Valley Project" stark vorangetri eben . Um eine langfristige Funktionsfähigkeit der Entwicklungsprojekte zu gewährleisten, mußte die Frage der Grundwasserbildung und -herkunft geklärt werden. Radiokarbon-Altersbestimmungen, Isotopenuntersuchungen und hydrochemische Analysen zeigen, daß das Grundwasser des Dakhl a-Beckens fossil ist; eine rezente Grundwasserneubildung ist nicht nachzuweisen. Grundwasserbildung fand letztmals während des letzten Hauptpluvials (〉20.000 Jahre B.P. ) statt, postpluviale Grundwässer wurden nicht nachgewiesen. Das Grundwasser wurde aus Niederschlägen atlantischer Feuchtmassen gebildet, die über eine Westwinddrift in die östliche Sahara gelangten. Die Grundwasserbildung war weitgehend lokal, großräumige Grundwasserbewegung findet nicht statt. Die Möglichkeit von Überläufen fossiler Grundwässer aus Nachbarbecken, wie Nordsudan-Becken und Kufra -Becken , konnte nicht geklärt werden. Aufgrund der analytischen Untersuchungen ist der Aquifer des Dakhl a-Beckens weder regional noch vertikal gliederbar; seine Ausbildung ist bei großräumiger Betrachtung sehr homogen. Wegen der ungleichen Verteilung der Informationen im Dakhla-Becken wurde zur Grundwassermassenberechnung ein dreidimensionales Computermodell entwickelt, das über Regressionen mit Polynomen höherer Ordnung die Volumina des Aquifers errechnete. Soweit überprüfbar, erbrachte das Modell gute Ergebnisse, so daß es künftig auch in Becken angewandt werden kann, von denen noch weniger Informationen vorliegen. Es wurde ein Zeit-Volumen-Modell erstellt, das zum einen den Absenkungsverlauf des Grundwasserspiegels beschreibt, zum anderen die zur Klärung der Grundwassersituation verwendeten Parameter stützt und sie als weitgehend richtig ausweist.
    Description: For about twenty years the use of the groundwater has been increased closely within the frame of the "New Valley Project". The questions of the formation and origin of the groundwater had to be elucidated in order to insure the long time function of the project. The investigations of isotopes, radiocarbon age dating and the hydrochemical analyses indicate the groundwater of the Dakhla Basin to be fossil; a recent formation of groundwater may safely be excluded. The last time groundwater formation occurred was during the last main pluvial (〉20,000 B.P.); there are no indications of postpluvial formation. The groundwater was formed by the precipitation of Atlantic humid air masses which reached the eastern Sahara by western drift. The groundwater formation was mainly local, regional groundwater movement does not occur. The possible overfl ow of fossil groundwater from the neighbouring basins as the North Sudan Basin and the Kufra Basin could not be clarified. Analytical investigations show the aquifer of the Dakhla Basin neither regionally nor vertically divisible; the shape is very nomogeneous over large regions. Since informations about the Dakhla Basin are distributed unevenly for the calculation of the groundwater masses the volumes of the aquifer were calculated using a three dimensional Computer model working with polynomal regressions of higher order. As far as possible the model shows good results; therefore it can be used in the future in basins with even less informations. A model of time and volume was made describing the decrease of the waterhead; the same model supports the Parameters used for the analysis of the groundwater Situation indicating that the Parameters are correct.

    Description: Mit der Abu Bal las Formation sind erstmals unterkretazische marine Ablagerungen innerhalb der Kubischen Gruppe Südwest-Ägyptens nachgewiesen worden. Transgression und Regression erfolgten wahrscheinlich während des Apt. Die Ablagerungen der Formation treten in der Region zwischen dem Gilf Kebir und dem Abu Tartur Plateau zutage, wo sie die fluviatilen Sandsteine der Six Hills Formation (Basal Clastics) im Liegenden von den ebenfalls fluviatilen Sandsteinen der Sabaya Formation (Desert Rose Beds) im Hangenden trennen. Die Abu Bal las Formation besteht lithologisch überwiegend aus roten und grünen Tonsteinen, untergeordnet kommen auch Silt- und Feinsandsteine vor. Die Mächtigkeit beträgt durchschnittlich 20 bis 30 m, örtlich kann sie 45 m erreichen. Nach Westen, Süden und Osten keilt die Formation aus. Die Ablagerungen der Formation lieferten neben etlichen Pflanzenresten eine unerwartet arten- und individuenreiche marine Fauna. Im einzelnen wurden gefunden: Pflanzen: Vier bisher unbekannte Fruktifikationen sowie acht weitere bisher zum Teil unbekannte Pflanzenreste. Foraminiferida: Drei agglutinierende Arten. Scleraciinia: Eine ahermatype Art. Brachiopoda: Eine inarticulate Art. Scaphopoda: Eine Art. Gastropoda: Acht Arten. Bivalvia: 33 Arten. Die Bivalven stellen die umfangreichste Fossilgruppe innerhalb der Fauna dar. Annelida: Eine Art. Arthropoda: Zwölf Arten. Echinoidea: Eine Art. Vertebrata: 14 Arten. Spurenfossilien: 23 Arten. Koprolithen: Vier Formen. Folgende zwei Taxa sind neu aufgestellt worden: Palaeosabellaxda aegyptiaca gen. nov., sp. nov.; Anomoeodus parvulus sp. Nov.. Die Abu Ballas Formation ist in einem sehr flachen Epikontinentalmeer abgelagert worden. Die Wassertiefe betrug in dem Gebiet, in dem die Formation zutage tritt, höchstens etwa 20 m, größtenteils war sie wahrscheinlich bedeutend geringer. Die Salinität des Meereswassers war fast während der gesamten Zeit vermindert, in Küstennähe kam es aber zu starken Schwankungen und kurzfristig auch zu euhalinen Verhältnissen. Es lassen sich mehrere Faziesräume des oberen und mittleren Sublittorals unterscheiden, die durch unterschiedliche Sedimente und durch verschiedene Faunengemeinschaften gekennzeichnet sind. Im Übergangsbereich zwischen mariner und fluviatiler Sedimentation kam es Örtlich zu Deltaschüttungen und zur Ausbildung einer Marsch. Die Apt-Transgression überflutete weite Teile Ägyptens. Lediglich der äußerste Südwesten und der Südosten des Landes sowie große Teile der Eastern Desert und der südliche Sinai blieben Festland.
    Description: The Abu Ballas Formation is the first known Lower Cretaceous marine transgression within the Nubia Group of southwestern Egypt. Transgression and Regression probably happened at Aptian times. The depositions of the formation crop out in the area between the Gilf Kebir and the Abu Tartur Plateau. They are underlain by fluvial deposits of the Six Hills Formation (Basal Clastics) and overlain by fluvial deposits of the Sabaya Formation (Desert Rose Beds). Lithologically the Abu Ballas Formation mainly consists of red and green claystones, siltstones and finegrained sandstones are more rarely. The thickness averages 20 to 30 ms, reaching 45 ms locally. To the west, south, and east the formation wedges out. Aside from several plant remains the formation yields a marine fauna, which is unexpectedly rieh in species and individuals. There were found the following flora and fauna: Plants: Four fructifications unknown till now and eight other partly unknown plant remains. Foraminiferida: Three agglutinated species. Scleractinia: One ahermatypic coral . Brachiopoda: One inarticulate species. Scaphopoda: One species. Gastropoda: Eight species. Bivalvia: 33 species. The Bivalvia represent the most extensive group within the fauna. Annelida: One species. Arthropoda: Twelve species. Echinoidea: One species. Vertebrata: 14 species. Trace fossil s; 23 species. Coprolites: Four forms. The following two new taxa have been established: Palaeosabellaria aegyptiaea gen. nov., sp. nov. (Annelida: Hermell idae) and Anomoeodus parvulus sp. nov. (Hol ostei: Pycnodontidae) .The Abu Ballas Formation has been deposited in a very shallow epi Continental sea. In the area, where the formation crops out, the depth of the water was probably ca. 20 ms at most, usually it was considerably shallower. The salinity was reduced to some degree, near the coast however, it varied in a high extent. For a short time the conditions were euhaline. Several facies of the upper and middle sublittoral can be distinguished, characterised by different Sediments and different faunal associations. In the transitional zone between the marine and the fluviatile facies deltaic and marsh deposits were found locally. This transgression had flooded large areas of Egypt. Only the extreme southwestern part and the southeastern part of the country, probably wide areas of the Eastern Desert too, and the Southern half of the Sinai remained Continental.

    Description: Aus feinstratigraphisch aufgenommenen Profilen im kontinentalen Neogen (Jungpliozän-Altpleistozän) der Insel Kos (Dodekanes) werden horizontiert gesammelte Populationen der limnischen Gastropoden-Gattung Viviparus biometrisch untersucht und aufgrund dessen die bestehende taxonomische Aufteilung revidiert. Die Höhe und Breite der allometrischen Gehäuse werden an jeder Windung ermittelt und dargestellt. Diese Daten werden auf signifikante Unterschiede zwischen Populationen geprüft und die verallgemeinerten Trennwerte nach der Häufigkeit aufgetragen. Sie sind meist nahezu normal verteilt. Daraus wird auf ähnliche Variabilität der Populationen geschlossen. Durch die Cluster-Analyse wird die Ähnlichkeit der Individuen jeder Probe hierarchisch geordnet und gezeichnet (Dendrogramme) . Vermuteter Sexual-Dimorphismus der Gehäuse ist wahrscheinlich, kann aber nicht mit Sicherheit bestätigt werden. Im Laufe der Zeit verändern sich glattschalige kontinuierlich zu drei gekielten Formen trotz mehrfachen und deutlichen Milieuwechsels. Damit ist genetisch bedingte evolutive Umgestaltung der Gehäuse wahrscheinlich zu machen. Die Einordnung der Individuen aller Populationen in verschiedene Formklassen verdeutlicht diesen evolutiven Trend. Gleichzeitig treten fünf distinkte Häufigkeitsmaxima übereinander auf. Dadurch ist eine gegenüber anderen Methoden erheblich verfeinerte biostratigraphische Gliederung der ca. 250 m mächtigen nv:- parus- führenden Neogenfolge von Ost-Kos möglich.
    Description: On Kos Island, populations of the limnic gastropod genus Viviparus taken from defined horizons from Neogene (Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene) sequences have been analyzed biometrically and have been revised paleontologically. Height and width of all coils of the allometric Shells have been measured and plotted. These data are examined with respect to significant differences between the populations. The discriminant scores of the samples show approximately Gaussian distributions. From this, a similar variability of the populations is deduced. The similarity of individuals within populations is hierarchically clustered in dendrograms. A supposed sexual dimorphism of the analyzed Shells is probable but has not been confirmed. In spite of several remarkable environmental changes, strongly sculptured forms conti nually develop from smooth Shells in the course of approximately 2 m.y. This proves a genetically controlled development of the various forms, i.e. evolution. By the arrangement of all the individuals in different morphological classes this evolutionary trend is illustrated. Moreover, five distinct maxima of frequency distributions are found. Accordingly, a refined biostratigraphic subdivision of the Neogene sequence bearing Viviparus in eastern Kos (approx. 250 m thick) has been rendered possible.
    Description: A l'Est de l’Tle de Kos (Dodecanese, Grece), des populations d’horizons determines du genre de gasteropodes limniques de Viviparus, provenant d’une sequence ininterrompue du Neogene Continental (Pliocene superieur au Pleistocene inferieur) ont ete etudiees par des methodes statistiques multivariees. Grace ä leurs resultats, une revision du groupement taxonomique existant est effectuee. La hauteur et la largueur de chaque circonvolution des coquilles allometriques sont mesurees et presentees graphiquement. Ces dates morphometriques sont examinees quant aux differences significatives dont leurs distances general isees sont tracees en distributions de frequence. Celles-ci sont pour la plupart normalement distribuees. De lä est deduite une variabilite ressemblante des populations. La ressemblance des individus de chaque faune est evaluee par l'analyse des similarites et tracees hierarchiquement en forme de dendrogrammes . II en res ulte la vraisemblance d'un dimorphisme sexuel de ces coquilles du genre Viviparus. Au cours de 2 millions d'annees environ, des formes lisses se sont developpees conti nuellement en forme multicarenees malgre plusieurs changements ecologiques prononces. Ainsi, le developpement de la forme de coquilles, genetiquement controllee, donc son evolution, peut etre constate. Le classement des individus de chaque population en dix types morphologiques differents precise cette tendance evolutive. En plus, cinq maxima de distributions de frequence sont nettement ä distinguer. De ce fait resulte, en comparaison avec d'autres methodes appliquees jusqu'ä present, une subdivision biostratigraphique plus detaillee de la sequence neogene de 1'Tie de Kos, epaisse de 250 m environ.

    Description: Unter der Bezeichnung "Scaglia" wird im Südalpin und im Nordapennin eine Folge überwiegend pelagischer, kreide- und tertiärzeitlicher Sedimente zusammengefaßt, die aus bunten Tonschiefern, Mergeln und Kalken besteht. Zusätzlich können detritische Kalke, Breccien und Konglomerate auf treten. Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit behandelten Scaglia-Sedimente der Toskanischen Decke ("Scaglia Toscana“) konnten nach ihrer Lithofazies sechs Formationen zugeordnet werden. Mit Hilfe mikropaläontologischer Untersuchungen an pelagischen Foraminiferen wurden die Ablagerungen biostrati graphisch datiert; sie repräsentieren den Zeitraum Alb – Oligozän. Zahlreiche im Gelände auf genommene Schichtfolgen wurden lithofaziell und biostrati graphisch bearbeitet. Die Profile wurden korreliert und in einem standardisierten Normal profil zusammengefaßt. Es zeigte sich, daß die Verbreitung der Fazies typen sowie ihre Mächtigkeit von einer Beckenkonfi guration abhängt, die bereits seit dem Lias erkennbar ist. Eine generelle Umgestaltung des Ablagerungsraumes an der Wende Unter-/Oberkreide, wie sie als Folge der paläoapenninen Phase von verschiedenen Autoren angenommen wurde, konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Aus der Abfolge der mesozoischen bis alttertiären Ablagerungen läßt sich vielmehr im Zentrum des Sedimentationsraumes ein Hochgebiet mit lückenhafter und geringmächtiger Sedimentation rekonstruieren, welches vom älteren Jura bis in das Eozän hinein Bestand hatte und beiderseits von Becken mit mächtigeren und vollständigeren Schichtfolgen gesäumt wurde. Diese Schwellenregion wird als "Zentral toskanisches Hochgebiet" bezeichnet und entspricht teilweise der von BOCCALETTI & BORTOLOTTI (1965) rekonstruierten "Dorsale costiera". Im Oligozän - ?Miozän wurden diese morphologischen Strukturen entland der Linie Livorno-Sillaro in zwei gegeneinander versetzte Blöcke zerlegt. Die paläoapennine Phase (Wende Unter-/Oberkreide) sowie auch die ligurische Phase (Eozän), die in den internen Bereichen des Nordapennins (Ligurikum) zu einer bedeutenden Umgestaltung der Sedimentationsraume führten, dokumentieren sich in der Schichtfolge der Toskanischen Decke lediglich im vermehrten Auftreten von Breccien, Konglomeraten und ersten ganz lokal vorkommenden Grauwackenschüttungen. Im Neokom und verstärkt mit Beginn der Scaglia-Sedimentation im Alb und damit auch zeitgleich mit der palaoapenninen Phase, setzt im toskanischen Abi agerungs raum außerdem von NE her die Schüttung detritischer Kalke ein. Diese füllen zunächst das Becken östlich des Zentral toskanischen Hochgebietes ; vom Eozän ab greifen sie auch auf die westlichen Gebiete über. Diese detritischen Kalke der Scaglia Toscana zeigen Sedimentstrukturen wie sie für Turbiditablagerungen typisch sind. Sie müssen als Kalkflysch angesprechen werden, der sich mit normal sedimentierten Ablagerungen verzahnt. Die Scaglia Toscana kann deshalb nicht mehr als rein pelagische Schichtfolge der Präflyschphase angesehen werden, sondern repräsentiert, wenigstens in Teilen, schon das volle Flyschstadium des Drögens.
    Description: In the Southern Alps and in the Northern Apennines the name "Scaglia" is used for a mainly pelagic, cretaceous to tertiary sedimentary sequence which is composed of variegated clayey shales, marls and limestones. In this succession detrital limestones, breccias and conglomerates may occur as well. The Scaglia Sediments of the Tuscan Nappe ("Scaglia Toscana") examinated in the present study were subordinated to six forma tions according to their lithofacies. The Sediments were dated biostratigraphically by means of micropaleontological studies on pelagic foraminiers; they represent the period between Albian and Oligocene. Detailed field investigations and biostratigraphical datings of numerous strati graphical sequences allowed a correlation of serial sec tions and a summari za tion to a Standard! zed columnar section. It was evident that the distribution of the different facies types as well as their thickness depends on a bas in topography which is recognizable since Liassic times. A general transformation of the deposition area at the boundary of Lower and Upper Cretaceous as a consequence of the "Paleoapenninic Phase", postulated by several authors, could not be proved. From the sequence of the Mesozoic to Paleogene sediments one could rather reconstruct a ridge characterized by thin Sedimentation and Stratigraphie gaps in the centre of the deposition area. This rise existed from the Juras sic up to the Eocene and was accompanied on both sides by bas ins with thicker and more complete strati graphical sequences. This ridge is called "Central Tuscan Ridge" ("Zentral toskanisches Hochgebiet") and corresponds partly to the "Dorsale costiera" reconstructed by BOCCALETTI & BORTOLOTTI (1965). In the Oligocene - (?)Miocene these morphological structures were divided into two blocks which were displaced versus each other along the Livorno-Sillaro-Structure. The "Paleoapenninic Phase" (Lower/Upper Cretaceous) as well as the "Ligurian Phase" (Eocene) which initiated significant translocations in the inner areas of the Northern Apennines (Ligurids), are documented within the sequence of the Tuscan Nappe only by an increasing occurrence of breccias, conglomerates and a first local accumulation of graywackes. In the Neocomian and even more intensive with the beginn! ng of Scaglia-sedimentation and therefore contemporaneous with the "Paleoapenninic Phase", in the Tuscan area the accretion of detrital limestones begins from NE. At first these limestones fill up the bas in east of the Central Tuscan Ridge and from the Eocene on they also start spreading out towards Western areas. These detrital Times tones of the Scaglia Toscana show sedimentary fabrics typical of turbidites. They represent a carbonate facies which interfingers with normal sedimentated depositions. Thus the Scaglia Toscana can no longer considered a pure pelagic sequence of the pre-flysch period but represents, at least in parts, the flysch stage of the orogene.
    Description: Nel Sudalpino e nel Appennino settentrionale con il nome di "Scaglia" viene intesa una sequenza di sedimenti per lo piü pelagici, di etä Cretaceo-Terziaria, ehe e costituita da scisti argillosi policromi, marne e calcari; possono essere presenti anche calcari detritici, brecce e conglomerati. I sedimenti della Scaglia della Falda Toscana (Scaglia Toscana) trattati nel presente lavoro, potrebbero venire attribuiti, in base al la loro litofacies, a sei formazioni. Con l'aiuto di ricerche micropaleontologiche su foraminiferi pelagici le fasi di sedimentazione sono state datate in un periodo tra l'Albiano e l’Oligocene. Numerose sequenze di strati osservate in campagna sono state esaminate sia dal punto di vista della litofacies ehe da quello biostratigrafico. Le sezioni strati graf i ehe sono state correlate e vengono rappresentate da una sezione Standard. Si e notato ehe la diffusione dei tipi di facies come pure il loro spessore sia dipeso dal la presenza di un bacino esistente giä dal Lias. Contrariamente a quanto e stato affermato da vari autori , non si e potuto di mostrare un cambiamento dei bacini di sedimentazione nel periodo tra il Cretaceo inferiore e quello superiore, come conseguenza della fase paleoappeninica. Dalle sequenze sedimentarie dal Mesozoico al Paleogene si lascia ricostruire nel centro del bacino di sedimentazione una regione elevata con sedimentazione incompleta e scarsa, ehe e esistita dal Giurassico inferiore fino all'Eocene ed era circondata dall'una e dall’altra parte da bacini con sequenze sedimentarie complete e di grande spessore. Questa regione montuosa e ondulata e indicata con il nome di "Dorsale Toscana centrale” ( "Zentral toskanisches Hochgebiet") e corrisponde in parte al la "Dorsale costiera" ricostruita da BOCCALETTI & BORTOLOTTI (1965). Nell ‘Oligocene - (?)Miocene queste strutture morfologiche sono state divise in due blocchi rivolti l’uno contro l'altro. La fase paleoappeninica (tra Cretaceo inf. e sup.) e la fase ligure (Eocene), ehe nelle zone interne del Nord Appenino (Ligurico) hanno portato ad un notevole cambiamento dei bacini di sedimentazione, sono documentate nel la sequenza sedimentaria della Falda Toscana tramite la presenza di brecce, conglomerati e le prime deposizioni di grovacke. Nel Neocomiano e ancor piü con 1‘inizio della sedimentazione della Scaglia nell ’Albiano, contemporaneamente alla fase paleoappeninica, comincia nel bacino toscano la sedimentazione di calcari detritici da NE. Questi riempiono dapprima il bacino posto al lato orientale della "Dorsale Toscana centrale"; dall'Eocene in poi si diffondono anche nella zona occidentale. Questi calcari detritici della Scaglia Toscana mostrano strutture sedimentarie tipiche delle turbiditi. Essi devono venire considerati flysch cal carei i quali si intercalano alla sedimentazione normale. Per questo motivo la Scaglia Toscana non puo piü essere considerata una pura sequenza pelagica della fase preorogenica ma rappresenta, almeno in parte, giä il pieno stadio del flysch, durante l'orogenesi.

    Description: Energy management in its most comprehensive sense encompasses economic, technical, environmental, and political problems. The present evaluation of prospects notes that opportunities for energy conservation are widespread, in such fields as building air conditioning, transportation, electrical appliances, and industrial processes. Further conservation is expected to be achieved through a combination of technology development and economics; the latter factor must not be unduly influenced by political measures that shield consumers from the true cost of energy.

    Description: The interplay of the various physical processes involved in the formation, maintenance, and decay of middle and upper tropospheric stratiform clouds is discussed. Ice phase fair weather cloud forms are considered. Simulations of cirriform clouds which attempt to incorporate the physical processes in an interactive manner were performed. A two dimensional time dependent Eulerian numerical model, which incorporates all of the important physical processes in a simplified way, is employed to investigate the role of these processes in the evolution of a cloud in an isolated atmospheric layer. Physical parameters considered are the eddy viscosity and the thermal, water vapor, and ice water eddy diffusivities.

    Description: There are different levels of helicopter noise prediction which may be appropriate at various stages in the design process. In the early preliminary design stages, when available information is usually limited to parameters such as gross weight, tip speed, forward speed, rotor radius, and possibly number of blades, one is limited to purely empirically based methodology. As the design progresses, and airfoil blade planforms and twists are defined, predictions of airloads, vortex paths, and compressibility effects may permit application of more analytically based sound pressure level prediction methods. At the present stage of development of first principle prediction methodology, however, the designer may still find it necessary to supplement such analyses with modifications based on empirical experience. Various causes and parameters of helicopter noise were identified and discussed from the standpoint of prediction. Rotational noise, blade-vortex interaction noise, thickness noise, broadband noise, and flyover noise were considered. A modular computer program for helicopter noise prediction (HELNOP) was described briefly. Wind tunnel models as useful tools in predicting full scale helicopter noise were also discussed.

    Description: A KC-135A aircraft equipped with wing tip winglets was flight tested to demonstrate and validate the potential performance gain of the winglet concept as predicted from analytical and wind tunnel data. Flight data were obtained at cruise conditions for Mach numbers of 0.70, 0.75, and 0.80 at a nominal altitude of 36,000 ft. and winglet configurations of 15 deg cant/-4 deg incidence, 0 deg cant/-4 deg incidence, and baseline. For the Mach numbers tested the data show that the addition of winglets did not affect the lifting characteristics of the wing. However, both winglet configurations showed a drag reduction over the baseline configuration, with the best winglet configuration being the 15 deg cant/-4 deg incidence configuration. This drag reduction due to winglets also increased with increasing lift coefficient. It was also shown that a small difference exists between the 15 deg cant/-4 deg incidence flight and wind tunnel predicted data. This difference was attributed to the pillowing of the winglet skins in flight which would decrease the winglet performance.

    Description: A joint NASA/USAF program was conducted to accomplish the following objectives: (1) evaluate the benefits that could be achieved from the application of winglets to KC-135 aircraft; and (2) determine the ability of wind tunnel tests and analytical analysis to predict winglet characteristics. The program included wind-tunnel development of a test winglet configuration; analytical predictions of the changes to the aircraft resulting from the application of the test winglet; and finally, flight tests of the developed configuration. Pressure distribution, loads, stability and control, buffet, fuel mileage, and flutter data were obtained to fulfill the objectives of the program.

    Description: A full-scale winglet flight test on a KC-135 airplane with an upper winglet was conducted. Data were taken at Mach numbers from 0.70 to 0.82 at altitudes from 34,000 feet to 39,000 feet at stabilized flight conditions for wing/winglet configurations of basic wing tip, 15/-4 deg, 15/-2 deg, and 0/-4 deg winglet cant/incidence. An analysis of selected pressure distribution and data showed that with the basic wing tip, the flight and wind tunnel wing pressure distribution data showed good agreement. With winglets installed, the effects on the wing pressure distribution were mainly near the tip. Also, the flight and wind tunnel winglet pressure distributions had some significant differences primarily due to the oilcanning in flight. However, in general, the agreement was good. For the winglet cant and incidence configuration presented, the incidence had the largest effect on the winglet pressure distributions. The incremental flight wing deflection data showed that the semispan wind tunnel model did a reasonable job of simulating the aeroelastic effects at the wing tip. The flight loads data showed good agreement with predictions at the design point and also substantiated the predicted structural penalty (load increase) of the 15 deg cant/-2 deg incidence winglet configuration.

    Description: A model that explains the flat-spot power loss phenomenon is presented. Evidence suggests that the effect is due to localized metallurgical interactions between the silicon substrate and the contact metallization. These reactions are shown to result in localized regions in which the P-N junction is destroyed and replaced with a metal semiconductor-like interface. The effects of thermal treatment, crystallographic orientation, junction depth, and metallization are shown along with a method of preventing the effect through the suppression of vacancy formation at the free surface of the contact metallization. Data indicating the effectiveness of a TiN diffusion barrier in preventing the effect are also given.

    Description: Both separate and combined wind tunnel and vibration shaker tests were conducted on two structural panels representative of the Shuttle orbiter in the NASA LaRC 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of combined loads on the thermal protection system (TPS). The primary objective of this test was to provide a combined full-scale load environment and realistic time history of the dynamic pressures, Mach numbers (through transonic), and dynamic structural responses of these panels. The panels were selected from orbiter locations where interactive load sources such as aerodynamic shock waves, turbulent boundary layers, strut-induced vorticity, and substrate deformation combined to provide high bonding loads between the TPS and the orbiter structure. The test panels were highly instrumented with static and dynamic pressure gages, accelerometers, deflectometers, strain gages, Schileren and high speed photography, and special instrumentation necessary to determine TPS/structure interface loads and tile motions. Two test specimens of each orbiter panel were utilized. Both were high-fidelity representations of the selected orbiter location.

    Description: Results of wind-tunnel and acoustic tests to investigate buffet loads on Shuttle Thermal-Protection-System (TPS) tiles are given. Also described is the application of these results to the prediction of tile buffet loads for the first shuttle flight into orbit. The wind-tunnel tests of tiles were conducted at transonic and supersonic Mach numbers simulating flow regions on the Orbiter where shock waves and boundary-layer separations occur. The acoustic tests were conducted in a progressive wave tube at an overall sound pressure level (OASPL) approximately equal to the maximum OASPL measured during the wind-tunnel tests in a region of flow separation. The STS-1 buffet load predictions yielded peak tile stresses due to buffeting that were as much as 20 percent of the total stress for the design-load case when a shock wave was on a tile.

    Description: The dynamic and static analysis methods used to model the nonlinear structural behavior of the Shuttle Orbiter's tile/pad thermal protection system are discussed. The structural evaluation of the tile/pad system is complicated by the nonlinear stiffening, hysteresis and viscosity exhibited by the pad material. Application of the analysis to square tiles subject to sinusoidal and random excitation is presented along with appropriate test data. Correlation is considered good. In order to treat the stress analysis of thousands of individual tiles, a nonlinear static analysis was developed which utilizes equivalent static loads derived from the dynamic environment. Tensile stress at the bondline is examined in thousands of unique tiles.

    Description: The unique space shuttle vehicle size, weight, and configuration gave rise to problems in determining vibration requirements and in verifying structural integrity for anticipated mission environments. The applications of large-scale vibration testing played a prominent part in qualifying the shuttle for its intended missions. Severe vibration excitation from rocket engines, aerodynamic noise, and onboard equipment are expected on each shuttle flight. Scale-model wind tunnel and rocket firing tests, as well as full-size rocket engine tests were relied on to define the random forcing functions. The determination of structural response to these environments is described as well as evaluations of measured flight data and comparison with predicted design and test criteria.

    Description: A computerized data bank system was developed for utilization of large amounts of vibration and acoustic data to formulate component random vibration design and test criteria. This system consists of a computer, graphics tablet, and a dry-silver hard copier which are all desk-top type hardware and occupy minimal space. The data bank contains data from the Saturn V and Titan III flight and static test programs. The vibration and acoustic data are stored in the form of power spectral density and one-third octave band plots over the frequency range from 20 to 2000 Hz. The data was stored by digitizing each spectral plot by tracing with the graphics tablet. The digitized data was statistically analyzed and the resulting 97.5% probability levels were stored on tape along with the appropriate structural parameters. Standard extrapolation procedures were programmed for prediction of component random vibration test criteria for new launch vehicle and payload configurations. This automated vibroacoustic data bank system greatly enhances the speed and accuracy of formulating vibration test criteria. In the future, the data bank will be expanded to include all data acquired from the space shuttle flight test program.

    Description: One nemesis of the structural dynamist is the tedious task of reviewing large quantities of data. This data, obtained from various types of instrumentation, may be represented by oscillogram records, root-mean-squared (rms) time histories, power spectral densities, shock spectra, 1/3 octave band analyses, and various statistical distributions. In an attempt to reduce the laborious task of manually reviewing all of the space shuttle orbiter wideband frequency-modulated (FM) analog data, an automated processing system was developed to perform the screening process based upon predefined or predicted threshold criteria.

    Description: Solid rocket booster cavity collapse flight measurements included external pressures on the motor case and aft skirt, internal motor case pressures, accelerometers located in the forward skirt, mid-body area, and aft skirt, as well as strain gages located on the skin of the motor case. This flight data yielded applied pressure longitudinal and circumferential distributions which compare well with model test predictions. The internal motor case ullage pressure, which is below atmospheric due to the rapid cooling of the hot internal gas, was more severe (lower) than anticipated due to the ullage gas being hotter than predicted. The structural dynamic response characteristics were as expected. Structural ring and wall damage are detailed and are considered to be attributable to the direct application of cavity collapse pressure combined with the structurally destabilizing, low internal motor case pressure.

    Description: Transpiration cooling is treated and then full coverage discrete hole injection for three injection orientations. Spacings with pitch to diameter ratios of 5 and 10 are discussed. The array is staggered, with the transverse pitch and the streamwise pitch the same. Results are presented in terms of the Stanton number using the heat transfer coefficient defined in terms of the difference between the wall temperature and the free stream temperature. Two values of Stanton number are provided for each situation: one with the injectant at wall temperature, and the other with the injectant at free stream temperature. These two values are equivalent to knowing the heat transfer coefficient and the adiabatic effectiveness. The heat transfer coefficient thus defined is used with the actual wall temperature to and the actual gas temperature to calculate the heat load. The principle of superposition thus invoked is valid exactly when the governing equations are linear.

    Description: Calculated engine core noise levels, based on NASA Lewis prediction procedures, for five representative helicopter engines are compared with measured total helicopter noise levels and ICAO helicopter noise certification requirements. Comparisons are made for level flyover and approach procedures. The measured noise levels are generally significantly greater than those predicted for the core noise levels, except for the Sikorsky S-61 and S-64 helicopters. However, the predicted engine core noise levels are generally at or within 3 dB of the ICAO noise rules. Consequently, helicopter engine core noise can be a significant contributor to the overall helicopter noise signature.

    Description: Noise reduction is mostly limited to light helicopters whose noise signature is dominated by their tail rotors. It is primarily hardware oriented. Well known noise reduction techniques such as reduction of rotor speeds with an accompanying increase in solidity to maintain performance, engine noise reduction with the use of exhaust mufflers, and acoustic blanketing of transmission and engine compartment are used. The concept of blade phasing as a means of reducing tail rotor noise is also used. Engine noise (exhaust noise), power train noise and airframe noise becomes important at low rotor tip speeds and means must be found to reduce these noise sources if further noise reductions are desired. The use of a special test rig aids in isolating the various noise sources and arriving at the penalties (performance or payload) involved in quieting them. Significant noise reduction are achieved for the light helicopter with minimum performance or weight penalties because of the dominance of a single noise source (the tail rotor).

    Description: The purpose of this presentation is to give a general strategy for rotorcraft noise prediction. This strategy is expressed through a modular software system design rather than theoretical analysis of the aerocoustic phenomena. The crucial design choices in a software system design are the module interface definitions. An interface is the data that are passed from one module to another. A module takes data from one (input) interface and transforms it, through a prediction method, to another (output) interface. In system design, the method is less important than the interface. The two types of methods available may be braodly classified as empirical or analytical, although no method is purely one or the other. These two general approaches will be compared as they apply to rotorcraft noise prediction.

    Description: Boeing Vertol Model 234, CH-47D and 347 tandem rotor helicopters demonstrate noise levels that comply with the overall noise standard requirements. The helicopters achieve these noise levels because they are, by design, free of impulsive noise in level flight and climb. Avoiding an impulsive noise signature is achieved by developing and applying configuration design criteria that eliminate blade vortex intersections and recognize advancing blade tip noise limitations in high speed forward flight. Airfoil design, rotor separation and rotor tipspeed selection all contribute to the noise control. Compliance with the approach element of the standards is marginal at best. The approach problem is not appreciably alleviated by reduced tipspeed and airfoil design. Since it is a single rotor phenomenon, it is not alleviated by rotor separation in the tandem configuration. Tip shapes may provide the answer, but to date this approach has not led to a satisfactory solution.

It will lead to invention of quieter features to be incorporated, and it will improve the ability to predict accurately the noise levels of new designs before they are built. Each of these effects changes the basic design process.

    Description: The aerodynamic prediction methodology which is needed for rotor noise calculations is presented. Airloads and wakes, dynamic stall, compressible flow, and random loads are reviewed. The aerodynamics/acoustics interface is defined when the noise or measurements are considered. The classical approach involving a distinct separation of aerodynamic sources and acoustic propagation is the basis of most rotor noise calculations. Aeroacoustics of rotors involve unique features which are not encountered in other aerodynamic problems of rotors: (1) acoustics problems ultimately require only an order of magnitude estimate of the sound pressure field, consequently remarkably good noise predictions are obtained from very simple aerodynamic analyses; (2) aeroacoustics introduce an interest in the higher frequency aerodynamics, the deterministic aerodynamic phenomena are still low frequency, however, the high frequency noise comes from the acoustic propagation; and (3) the aerodynamic phenomena on rotors that are only of interest due to the noise they produce, are the random aerodynamic pressures on the blades.

    Description: It is important for industry and NASA to assess the status of acoustic design technology for predicting and controlling helicopter external noise in order for a meaningful research program to be formulated which will address this problem. The prediction methodologies available to the designer and the acoustic engineer are three-fold. First is what has been described as a first principle analysis. This analysis approach attempts to remove any empiricism from the analysis process and deals with a theoretical mechanism approach to predicting the noise. The second approach attempts to combine first principle methodology (when available) with empirical data to formulate source predictors which can be combined to predict vehicle levels. The third is an empirical analysis, which attempts to generalize measured trends into a vehicle noise prediction method. This paper will briefly address each.

    Description: A long-range program in support of the aerospace industry aimed at reducing the use of strategic materials in gas turbine engines is discussed. The program, which is called COSAM (Conservation of Strategic Aerospace Materials), has three general objectives. The first objective is to contribute basic scientific understanding to the turbine engine technology bank so that our national security is not jeopardized if our strategic material supply lines are disrupted. The second objective is to help reduce the dependence of United States military and civilian gas turbine engines on worldwide supply and price fluctuations in regard to strategic materials. The third objective is, through research, to contribute to the United States position of preeminence in the world gas turbine engine markets by minimizing the acquisition costs and optimizing the performance of gas turbine engines. Three major research thrusts are planned: strategic element substitution; advanced processing concepts; and alternate material identification. Results from research and any required supporting technology will give industry the materials technology options it needs to make tradeoffs in material properties for critical components against the cost and availability impacts related to their strategic metal content.

    Description: Stratospheric limb radiance profiles versus altitude of closest approach of the line of sight to the Earth's surface have been measured before and after the Mount St. Helens eruptions by means of photographs taken from a Sun-oriented balloon gondola floating above 35 km altitude over France. Preliminary data were reported for flights in October 1979 and in May and June 1980. The radiance integrated along the line of sight as in-situ radiance (R) can be derived taking into account absorption by ozone and air. The onion peeling inversion method was used to derive the vertical radiance (R) profiles respectively. The values of R were determined in the solar azimuth. The solar elevation angles are chosen larger for the backscattering observation than for the forward scattering observation to deal with as similar illumination conditions as possible despite the Earth's sphericity.

    Description: Twenty filter sampling flights of the NASA Lewis F-106 aircraft were conducted in the Great Lakes region between June 4 and August 8, 1980, following the major eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington on May 18. The IPC-1478 filters were exposed over an altitude range spanning the local tropopause. Quarter sections were analyzed for sulfate and nitrate by ion chromatography and selected samples were analyzed for chloride by selective ion electrode. Trace elements were searched by X-ray fluorescence analysis. A filter sample taken above the tropopause on June 5 indicated a sulfate level of 50 times the baseline measurements. Subsequent measurements over a period of 2 months showed an initial dropoff and formation of a persistent layer of sulfate above the tropopause with a concentration of 10 to 18 times previously measured background-levels. Concentrations of nitrate above the tropopause exhibited considerable variability and some enhancement compared with previously measured concentration levels. It is suggested that the source of the nitrate may also be volcanic as evidenced by its temporal relationship to the sulfate concentration changes. Based on the null results of X-ray fluorescence measurements, there is no evidence of ash particle concentrations greater than 3.4 microns g/cubic m persisting in the layer above the tropopause after the second transit of the cloud.

    Description: Microscopical investigation of volcanic ash collected from ground stations during Mount St. Helens eruptions reveal a distinctive bimodel size distribution with high concentrations of particle ranges at (1) 200-100 microns and (2) 20-0.1 microns. Close examination of individual particles shows that most larger ones are solidified magma particles of porous pumice with numerous gas bubbles in the interior and the smaller ones are all glassy fragments without any detectable gas bubbles. Elemental analysis demonstrates that the fine fragments all have a composition similar to that of the larger pumice particles. Laboratory experiments suggest that the formation of the fine fragments is by bursting of glassy bubbles from a partially solidified surface of a crystallizing molten magma particle. The production of gas bubbles is due to the release of absorbed gases in molten magma particles when solubility decreases during phase transition. Diffusion cloud chamber experiments strongly indicate that sub-micron volcanic fragments are highly hygroscopic and extremely active as cloud condensation nuclei. Ice crystals also are evidently formed on those fragments in a supercooled (-20 C) cloud chamber. It has been reported that charge generation from ocean volcanic eruptions is due to contact of molten lava with sea water. This seems to be insufficient to explain the observed rapid and intense lightning activities over Mount St. Helens eruptions. Therefore, a hypothesis is presented here that highly electrically charged fine solid fragments are ejected by bursting of gas bubbles from the surface of a crystallizing molten magma particles.

    Description: The direct solar radiation transmission record at Mauna Loa, dating from 1958 to the present, revealed with remarkable precision the presence of stratospheric aerosol from volcanic activity. This record can be used to quantify the intensity of the stratospheric volcanic aerosol perturbation following a significant eruption in reference to the Agung event in 1963. The Mount St. Helens' stratospheric cloud was first detected by lidar at 18 km over Mauna Loa on 17 July. The atmospheric transmission was seen to decrease slightly after that time, but only a few tenths of 1 percent. Although it is still fairly early to draw a definite conclusion on the ultimate magnitude of the Mount St. Helens stratospheric aerosol from the Mauna Loa results, it can be stated that the stratospheric aerosol optical depth presently observed is comparable with that observed from Fuego which erupted in 1974. At Boulder, Colorado, the atmospheric debris from Mount St. Helens was observed by lidar on a number of occasions. Also, observations of the diffuse, total and direct transmission of solar radiation were made on June 3 and 4. The latter set of observations is useful for deriving information on the scattering properties of the volcanic cloud. The lidar and solar radiation data are presented and some of their special features are discussed.

    Description: Samples of stratospheric aerosols collected with U-2 aircraft for several months following the first three major eruptions of Mount St. Helens were analyzed for ash and liquid acid content. Ash grain sizes and compositions vary depending on collection altitude, location within the drifting cloud, and days following their injection. s computers Size distributions of ash particles vary with altitude. Generally small particles are depleted more rapidly at low altitudes (12 km) than at higher altitudes (17-18 km). Although samples collected 1 day after the first eruption of May 18, 1980, were dry, flow marks on the aircraft indicated parts of the cloud contained heavy acid concentrations. Indeed, all other samples obtained within 1 to 4 days after later eruptions (May 25 and June 12, 1980) were covered with copious amounts of liquid acid. Proportions of liquid to ash varied considerably depending on sampling location and cloud age. Because the acid-coated ash globules were large, they rapidly fell from the stratosphere until, by late June 1980, only a residue of acid droplets remained. Size distributions and concentrations of these droplets varied considerably.

An unmanned POM, capable of examining or capturing and returning to the Orbiter large satellites which are station-keeping at distances up to one kilometer from the Orbiter, is presented and its design features defined. Also presented is the concept of a manned POM which is capable of capturing and maneuvering smaller payloads in or about the Orbiter payload bay. The manned POM also serves as a free flying work station used to support satellite servicing and provide a back-up to Orbiter situations when the remote manipulator is inoperative.

    Description: Shortly after the 18 May eruption, a series of airborne lidar flights were made over the Eastern United States. During the same period, ground-based systems were activated throughout the world. The available worldwide lidar data is put together in a consistent set. These data show the dispersion of material at different altitudes during the early global circuits. The material in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere was very patchy in horizontal extent with backscattering ratio values over the east coast of the United States greater than 100 at the ruby wavelength of 0.6943. Two wavelength ratios and depolarization values for the material in the lower stratosphere (12 to 18 km) appear to have returned to the pre-18 May values within a month after the eruption and this indicated a rapid conversion to spherical shapes and normal indices of refraction. The material above 20 km moved slowly westward while most of the ejecta moved eastward at various speeds and directions which varied considerably with altitude. The westward material was detected first by the Japanese lidar system and then subsequently by the European and American ground-based systems. It circuited the globe in about 60 days. An airborne lidar flight in early September across the continental United States showed the layers to have homogenized considerably one broad layer between about 14 and 21 km peaking at 18 to 19 km and another more intermittent thin layer between 21 and 22 km. The ruby peak backscattering ratio of the broad layer was between 1.3 and 1.5.

    Description: The 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens in southeast Washington resulted in a pronounced effect on the surface and ground water resources of the state. In response to the volcanic activity, the U.S. Geological Survey intensified statewide surface and ground water sampling programs to determine the nature and magnitude of the volcanic-induced variations. Streams to the east of Mount St. Helens received the major ash fallout. Chemical effects were best noted in smaller streams sampled 60 to 70 miles northeast of Mount St. Helens. The chemical variations observed were pronounced but short lived. Sulfate and chloride increases in anionic composition were prevalent immediately following the eruption; however, the original bicarbonate predominance was again attained within several days. Suspended iron and aluminum concentrations were similarly elevated during the period of greatest ash deposition (highest turbidity); however, the dissolved concentrations remained relatively constant. Depressions of pH were minor and short lived. Streams draining to the south, tributaries to the Columbia river, showed little observable changes in water chemistry. Streams draining to the west (Toutle river and its tributaries) were compositionally affected by the various volcanic activities. Chloride and sulfate anion percentage exceeded the bicarbonate percentage up to one month following the eruption period. Streams and lakes sampled in the immediate vicinity of Mount St. Helens, in addition to trace metals, contained organic compounds derived from decomposing wood buried in the debris deposits. This organic material may constitute a significant source of organic compounds to surface and ground water for some time to come.

    Description: The benefits-to-cost ratio of satellite remote sensing, both as a substitute for conventional methods of monitoring and assessing resources, and as a supplement to these methods is examined using a model which analyzes the cost of aerial photography versus satellite scanner for producing and interpreting an image of the Earth's surface sized to LANDSAT dimensions. Examples of cost savings are tabulated for ground surveys, aerial photos, and LANDSAT. Possible additional benefits from LANDSAT D are assessed. The way in which satellites fit into more comprehensive models for resources management is discussed. It is shown that remote sensing is but one essential component in a complex system that aggregates technical. Socioeconomics, political, cultural, and other factors in the human decision process.

    Description: Tephra and aerosols from the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington were sampled in the lower stratosphere with a WB-57F aircraft. The main body of the plume was intercepted over western Kansas on May 20, 48 hours after the eruption, at an altitude of 15.2 km. Concentrations on filter samples were 26 ng of SO4(-2) of air and 579 ng of ash/g of air. Angular glass pyroclasts ranged in size from 0.5 to 10 microns, with a mean grain of 2 microns. Samples collected at altitudes of 16.7 and 12.5 km had only traces of SO4(-2) and ash. A second flight was flown, 72 hours after the eruption, on May 21. From north Texas to central Wyoming, at an altitude of 15.2 km less than 0.5 to 38 ng of ash/g of air and 1.0 to 2.2 ng of SO4(-2)/g of air were sampled. At an altitude of 18.3 km, from central Wyoming to NW New Mexico, the plume density and character were variable.

    Description: The SAGE satellite system was used to make measurements on the optical extinction produced by stratospheric aerosols from the Mount St. Helens eruption. Two periods of observation were analyzed. In the first period (May 21 to 31, 1980), SAGE moved southward from latitude 60 N, and crossed the United States approximately one week after the May 18th eruption. Enhancements in stratospheric extinction were confined to latitudes between about 55 N and 25 N and longitudes between 10 W and 140 W. Individual layers were observed up to altitudes of 23 km. The geographical location of these layers corresponded closely to that expected on the basis of high-altitude meteorological data. During June and much of July, SAGE was, by reason of its geographical position and other orbital characteristics, unable to make further measurements on the northern hemisphere. Between July 19th and August 12th a second southward pass over the northern hemisphere occurred and further observations were made. The volcanic aerosol in the stratosphere was now found to be widely distributed over the hemisphere, the maximum concentrations being north of 50 N. The aerosol showed considerable inhomogeneity and had reached as far south as 15 N but little, if any, had crossed the equator into the southern hemisphere. Individual layers at different heights were still distinguishable. The total stratospheric aerosol loading on this occasion appeared to be greater than in May and corresponded to an increase in global stratospheric mass of between 50 and 100 percent.

    Description: A conceptual definition of an appropriate berthing technique and a prototype design of an automatic umbilical system suitable for use with payloads carried by the Space Shuttle are presented. A four-element berthing system is described. This concept consists of a set of four remote manipulator system (RMS)-type end-effector capture/tie-down devices on the power system and corresponding RMS-type grapple fittings on the payload. In operation, the RMS maneuvers the payload to a position where the four grapple fittings can be snared within the end-effectors and then secured to the power system. The concept takes advantage of mechanisms and operating techniques developed for attaching the RMS to a payload. Although the umbilical installation is attached to the docking interface structure, its operation is independent and it must comply with a set of primary requirements specified by Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), which is presented.

    Description: Payloads are secured in the orbiter payload bay by the payload retention system or are equipped with their own unique retention systems. The orbiter payload retention mechanisms provide structural attachments for each payload by using four or five attachment points to secure the payload within the orbiter payload bay during all phases of the orbiter mission. The payload retention system (PRS) is an electromechanical system that provides standarized payload carrier attachment fittings to accommodate up to five payloads for each orbiter flight. The mechanisms are able to function under either l-g or zero-g conditions. Payload berthing or deberthing on orbit is accomplished by utilizing the remote manipulator system (RMS). The retention mechanisms provide the capability for either vertical or horizontal payload installation or removal. The payload support points are selected to minimize point torsional, bending, and radial loads imparted to the payloads. In addition to the remotely controlled latching system, the passive system used for nondeployable payloads performs the same function as the RMS except it provides fixed attachments to the orbiter.

    Description: Numerous balloon soundings of the aerosol and condensation nuclei (CN) concentrations were made over Laramie, Wyoming following the eruption of Mount St. Helens in May of 1980. On several occasions the volatility of the particles was tested. In addition, special instrumentation was used to observe the evolution of particle size after the eruption. The particles in the initial cloud were relatively large and nonvolatile. In a relatively short time, however, the aerosol began showing a dominant volatile component. Although there were probably no CN in the original cloud due to the expected very short coagulation life time, high concentrations of unusually small CN particles were observed about a month after the eruption. By the end of September the CN profiles and associated particle size were practically back to normal. At present the aerosol particles show about a three times larger concentration than before the eruption, most of the new material being in a layer centered around 19 km. The net effect of the more recent series of eruptions during the last half of October 1980 seems to be negligible.

    Description: The handling and positioning aid which (HPA) provides a wide range of adjustable work stations both inboard and outboard of the cargo bay is discussed. It can assist with berthing and docking, it is robust, stiff, has a simple control system, and is modular. An articulated arm version of HPA employed in a typical servicing mission is shown. Mounted on a base frame that spans the Orbiter cargo bay, the 6 m arm is long enough to hold the satellite being serviced and keep its solar array clear of the Orbiter radiators. By adjusting the length and angle of the support platform mast, and rotating the tip of the HPA arm, almost every item on the satellite can be reached. Spares and change-out units can be brought to and from the work site by the RMS, which is controlled from the aft flight deck. The fore and aft position of the base frame can be changed between Orbiter flights and this, together with the 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) of the long arm, allows work sites to be chosen that meet the clearance, reach and vision requirements of many missions. Flight article activities are shown are shown above the dashed horizontal line and Development Test Article (DTA) work below. Flight article requirements and concepts and the design of the DTA are developed.

    Description: Development of future helicopter noise prediction methods requires an accurate experimental data base for correlation studies or assessment of theoretical prediction methods. The aerodynamic and acoustic performance criteria for conducting experimental studies of helicopter noise using existing test facilities were defined. Requirements for ground-based facilities were described in addition to the limitations associated with full scale and model scale studies. Flight testing methods were also evaluated briefly and the restrictions associated with these approaches were cited. Finally, a general evaluation of ground-based and flight testing methods is given. Based on this presentation, future investigators can select the experimental approach best suited for generating a desired data base. Also, facility improvements need to extend the state of the art in helicopter noise experimental studies so that problems can be identified.
