Non-adiabatic motion of charged particles traversing a weak magnetic field: Pitch angle scattering
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1964-12)
A charged particle moves with velocity v in a constant non-uniform magnetic field H , spiralling with Larmor radius R . If R is small compared with the scale length L of the field, the magnetic moment associated with the ...
Effect of longitudinal electrostatic field on the whistler mode propagation in a warm magneto-ionic medium
(Elsevier, 1968-02)
The dispersion equation for a whistler mode propagation in a warm plasma, subjected to parallel static electric and magnetic fields, is derived by using a linearized coupled Vlasov-Maxwell equation. From the derived ...
Two 1993 Kamchatka earthquakes
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-09)
Two earthquakes occurred in 1993 off southern Kamchatka. They have similar surface wave magnitudes, focal mechanisms, and depths, but have distinctly different characteristics. The November earthquake is a standard or ...
Diagnosis and Improvement of Cryosphere Shortwave Radiation Biases in Global Climate Models.
(2015)
Faithful representation of cryospheric change is critical for accurate climate modeling, but there are complicating issues in representing snow extent and reflectance in physically realistic ways. This thesis is a collection ...
On the dynamics and composition of the high-latitude thermosphere
(Elsevier, 1991-09)
Recent experimental measurements of the dynamics of the neutral upper thermosphere have demonstrated the important roles of ion-drag and Joule heating processes in establishing the basic neutral wind morphology and controlling ...
The calculated and observed ionospheric properties during Atmospheric Explorer-C satellite crossings over Millstone Hill
(Elsevier, 1978-01)
The Atmospheric Explorer-C (AE-C) satellite passed almost directly over the Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar station on 14 February 1974 and passed within the near vicinity of the station on 15 February 1974. ...
Do trench sediments affect great earthquake occurrence in subduction zones?
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-03)
Seismic energy release is dominated by the underthrusting earthquakes in subduction zones, and this energy release is further concentrated in a few subduction zones. While some subduction zones are characterized by the ...
The 1957 great Aleutian earthquake
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-03)
The 9 March 1957 Aleutian earthquake has been estimated as the third largest earthquake this century and has the longest aftershock zone of any earthquake ever recorded—1200 km. However, due to a lack of high-quality seismic ...
Characteristics of ionospheric thermal radiation
(Elsevier, 1966-08)
A theoretical observation of the characteristics of ionospheric thermal radiation is made using a linear theory, based on a macroscopic concept with the aid of fluctuating electromagnetic field theory. The thermal noise ...
Rupture process of large earthquakes in the northern Mexico subduction zone
(Birkhäuser-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-03)
The Cocos plate subducts beneath North America at the Mexico trench. The northernmost segment of this trench, between the Orozco and Rivera fracture zones, has ruptured in a sequence of five large earthquakes from 1973 to ...
