Developing proxy radar data with the aid of cloud-to-ground lightning for a nowcasting system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Air traffic managers need up to date nowcast information over the entire CONUS for efficient operations in the National Airspace System. In areas of degraded or no radar coverage, cloud-to-ground lightning (provided by the ... -
Development of a leaching procedure for isotopic study of metal/silicate partitioning experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The ratio of 238U/ 235U has long been assumed to be constant and equal to 137.88. However, recent research has found that uranium fractionation occurs in a variety of environments, especially reducing environments. ... -
A digital path to environmental education
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Digital technology has become completely engrained in the process of scientific research. Grade schools are beginning to incorporate computers and other digital devices into the learning process as tools for learning other ... -
Distribution of NMHC ratios in the Pacific during PEM-West B and PEM-Tropics A
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Under the auspices of NASA's Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE), the Pacific Exploratory Missions (PEM) have collected numerous air samples of many regions of the troposphere. Data from PEM-West B (February 7 to March ... -
Distribution of olivine and pyroxene in S-type asteroids throughout the inner main belt
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The mineralogical composition of asteroids can be constrained using visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy. The most prominent spectral features observed over this wavelength range are due to olivine and pyroxene, ... -
Does the theory of parameterized conveciton apply to layered mantle convection?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)There are numerous models for convection of the Earth's mantle, the end cases of which are whole-mantle convection and layered convection. Heat flow is an important consideration in the evalution of these models. Simple ... -
Dt/d[delta] measurement of short period p waves in the upper mantle for the western North America using LASA.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970) -
Dynamics of dunes in an intertidal environment at Nauset Inlet, Massachusetts.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973) -
An economic study of the property of the Tide Water Trap Rock Company at Branford, Conn.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1904) -
Effectiveness of microseismic monitoring for optimizing hydraulic fracturing in California
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Hydraulic fracturing has fundamentally changed the oil and gas industry in the past 10 years. Bakersfield, California provides a unique case study because steam injection, a type of hydraulic fracturing, has been used there ... -
The effects of orientation on ground penetrating radar
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This paper discusses how changes in the orientation of a Ground Penetrating Radar's receiver with respect to its transmitter can affect the detection of radar pulses by the receiver. The orientation changes discussed in ... -
The effects of range and height on radar measurements of storms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Effects of space weathering on the Trojan asteroids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Trojan asteroids orbit at Jupiter's L4 and L5 points. They are included in the D-class of asteroids because of their steep spectral slope. According to spectra of other asteroid classes, the larger the diameter is of a ... -
Effects of various flotation reagents on a copper sulfide ore, ore number 6271
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1932) -
The effects of volcanic aerosols on mid-latitude ozone recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this paper, comparisons between the derived Chemistry Climate Model Initiative aerosol data set to balloon sonde measurements of aerosols made in Laramie, Wyoming are made between 1979- 2012. Using the derived CCMI ... -
Elemental and reactive gaseous mercury deposition and diurnal cycles over terrestrial environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The atmospheric component of the global biogeochemical mercury cycle was studied to determine the mechanisms behind diurnal trends and amplitudes in elemental and reactive gaseous mercury concentrations over terrestrial ... -
Engineering geology of the Dorchester Bay area pertaining to urban development of Thompson Island,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968) -
Establishing an unambiguous connection between grain size and style of sediment transport in the Lower Niobrara River, Nebraska, USA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The transport of sediment is often separated into two components, bedload and suspended load. This division is important because bedload has a dominant control on channel morphology while suspended load dominates the ... -
Evaluating the relationship between the temperature response to volcanic aerosols and climate sensitivity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Climate sensitivity is an important concept in climate science, but its estimated value has considerable uncertainty. Some previous studies have argued for a link between the temperature response to volcanic radiative ... -
Evaluating the use of Sr, Pb, and U isotopes for fingerprinting surface and groundwaters in southern New Hampshire
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Increased pressure on fresh water reserves in southern New Hampshire requires new methods for monitoring exploitation. In a pilot study, surface water and groundwater samples from southern New Hampshire were analyzed for ...
