Ham Radio and Radio Astronomy Reber's radio astronomy work continued for a number of years, and his results were published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, the Astrophysical Journal, Nature, and the Journal of Geophysical research. Thus, when the first government regulations were imposed on radio in 1912, the amateur operators ("hams"), whose interest in radio was personal and experimental, rather than commercial, got the short end of the stick. Ships were equipped with radio, huge commercial stations were set up to handle intercontinental messages after the fashion of the telegraph companies, and many other uses were found for the new technology. www.nrao.edu /whatisra/hist_ham.shtml   (1070 words)

NOAA Magazine Online (Story 104) GFDL was formed in 1955 as the research branch of the U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington, D.C. Its creation resulted from the historical first numerical weather prediction experiments carried out in the late 1940s and early 1950s at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton (led by John Von Neumann and Jule Charney). GFDL encompasses a variety of disciplines (e.g., meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, classical physics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, applied mathematics and numerical analysis) and focuses on many topics of great practical value (i.e., weather and hurricane forecasts, El Niño prediction, stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming). GFDL's research goal is to expand the scientific understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the behavior of the atmosphere and oceans as complex fluid systems — with a special focus on the development and utilization of computer simulations. www.magazine.noaa.gov /stories/mag104.htm   (663 words)

Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics In 1931, the Irkutsk magnetic meteorological observatory was reorganized into a Scientific research institute; in 1936, it was transformed into the Irkutsk geophysical observatory. The principal fields of research at the Institute are solar physics and the physics of the interplanetary medium; the physics of the atmosphere and of the Earth's immediate interplanetary environment. The Institute's prime research objective is to trace, in an integrated approach, the initiation and development of disturbances in the near-terrestrial environment, from the origination of the disturbing factor on the Sun, including its propagation through the interplanetary medium, to the response of the high and mid-latitude atmosphere. www.wdcb.rssi.ru /NGC/iszf.html   (663 words)
