TIME VARIATIONS OF DIRECTIONAL COSMIC RAY INTENSITY AT LOW LATITUDES. III. INTERPRETATION OF SOLAR DAILY VARIATION AND CHANGES OF EAST-WEST ASYMMETRY

Journal Article Rao, U R ; Sarabhai, V - Proc. Roy. Soc. (London)

The daily variation of cosmic ray intensity at low latitudes can under certain conditions be associated with an anisotropy of primary radiation. During 1957--8, this anisotropy had an energy spectrum of variation of the form ae/sup - 0.//sup 8 s/sup 0/ >s/sup .3/ and corresponded to a source situated at an angle of 112 plus or minus 10 deg to the left of the earth-sun line. The daily variation which can be associated with a local source situated along the earth- sun line has an energy spectrum of variation of the form ae/sup 0/.

Trace gases in and over the West Pacific and East Indian Oceans during the El Nino-southern oscillation event of 1987: a report of GMCC (geophysical monitoring for climatic change) data collected on the second Soviet-American Gas and Aerosol Experiment (SAGA II)

Technical Report Butler, J H ; Elkins, J W ; Brunson, C M ; ...

Five trace gases in the surface water and atmosphere of the West Pacific and East Indian Oceans were measured by automated gas chromatography from May through July 1987. The data included more than 1000 measurements each of N/sub 2/O, F11 and F12 in the surface water and in the atmosphere, and about 2000 measurements each of CH/sub 4/ and CO/sub 2/ in the surface water and atmospheric boundary layer of the West Pacific. In addition, over 600 measurements of dissolved N/sub 2/O were obtained from hydrocasts made along the entire 45,000-km cruise track. Data from this cruise are presented heremore »« less

Recent Winter Precipitation Changes over Eastern China in Different Warming Periods and the Associated East Asian Jets and Oceanic Conditions

Journal Article Huang, Danqing ; Dai, Aiguo ; Zhu, Jian ; ... - Journal of Climate

Global-mean surface temperature has experienced fast warming during 1985–98 but stabilized during 1999–2013, especially in boreal winter. Climate changes over East Asia between the two warming periods and the associated mechanisms have not been fully understood. Analyses of observation and reanalysis data show that winter precipitation has decreased (increased) over southern (northeastern) China from 1985–98 to 1999–2013. Winds at 300 hPa over East Asia strengthened during 1999–2013 around 30°–47.5°N but weakened to the north and south of it. This change pattern caused the East Asian polar front jet (EAPJ) and the East Asian subtropical jet (EASJ) to shift, respectively, equatorwardmore »« less

Precipitation and lake-level changes in the West and Midwest over the past 10,000 to 24,000 years. Final report

Technical Report Webb, T III ; Street, F A ; Howe, S

The goal of the research described in this report is to document the climatic variability over the past 10,000 to 20,000 years in areas in which sites may be designated for the burial of nuclear wastes. Three separate data sets were studied, and the results are presented in three chapters. The first data set consisted of radiocarbon dates documenting past changes in lake levels in lakes and playas in the western United States. The sites were mapped where water levels were higher than the levels today and were presented in a table telling what evidence is available at each site.more »« less
