Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
This study discusses two blocks of Ilford G5 emulsions, plus metallic components, that were recovered from the polar orbiting satellites, Discoverer XVII and XVIII. This discussion covers the Class 3+ flare of 12 Nov 1960 in relation to the Discoverer XVII exposure; photographic processing of satellite-exposed emulsions; preliminary cosmic-ray observations on orbited emulsions; and radiochemical analyses of the Discoverer capsules.

The Formation of Ions in the Upper Atmosphere
Author: Robert E. HuffmanPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electron impact ionization
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The present state of our knowledge concerning the formation of positive and negative ions in the earth's normal ionosphere is reviewed. The main process by which positive ions and electrons are formed in the ionosphere is photoionization of neutral constituents by solar vacuum ultraviolet radiation. Negative ions are formed primarily by direct attachment of electrons to certain neutral constituents. Existing values of the cross sections and rate coefficients of these processes are presented and gaps in the present knowledge are discussed.

Book Description
Some preliminary analysis are presented of the winds and circulations in the mesosphere based upon the first year of data collected by the Meteorological Rocket Network. Differences between winds determined from radar targets released by rockets and those from the conventional balloon technique are discussed briefly.

Some preliminary analysis are presented of the winds and circulations in the mesosphere based upon the first year of data collected by the Meteorological Rocket Network. Differences between winds determined from radar targets released by rockets and those from the conventional balloon technique are discussed briefly. The scale of seasonal, daily, and vertical wind variations is illustrated by wind profiles and time cross-sections. They demonstrate clearly the seasonal reversal of mesospheric winds and the existence of large, wind-speed variations over periods of only several days. They also reveal that vertical wind shears of 0.030 per sec, and probably greater, exist at about 180,000 ft. A relationship is indicated between mesospheric circulation changes and subsequent tropospheric circulation changes. Examples are shown of the circulation over North America in spring and summer at heights up to 180,000 ft. Analysis of rocket wind-data indicates that the techniques are sound and that much can be learned by more intensive analysis. (Author).
