A budget primer
Authors: Richman Barbara T. 
Published: October 2011

Fundamental to understanding President Reagan's fiscal 1983 budget proposal, made public yesterday, and what the proposal means for the health of federally funded programs, is to comprehend the budget process itself. A table that outlines the budget process appears below; a short glossary (see box) defines some of the basic budget terms. Next week, Eos will summarize the President's budget proposal. In 2 weeks, Eos will analyze the budget proposal as it affects geophysicists.Congress, having just received the President's budget proposal, can begin to review it formally under the procedures mandated by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (see table). Note, however, that Congress often does not meet its budget deadlines.

Published: October 2011

As part of the continuing International Phase of Ocean Drilling (IPOD), the Glomar Challenger is scheduled to drill in the Gulf of Mexico from March through May 1983. The Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc. (JOI) will manage the site survey program in preparation of these drilling activities and has issued a request for proposals for the program.Funding also is anticipated for conducting multi‐channel reflection surveys of candidate drill sites in either the Peru‐Chile Trench region or off the northwest African continental margin. These surveys will be to support proposed post‐1983 Challenger drilling, according to JOI.

A worldwide directory of more than 900 national earth science agencies and more than 80 related major international organizations is available, free of charge, from the U.S. Geological Survey.The 87‐page directory provides the names, addresses, and, if available, the names of the chief administrators of the major governmental earth science agencies with functions similar to those of the USGS. Coded designations for each agency indicate its principal function and correspond approximately to principal functions of the operating divisions of the USGS: cartography (National Mapping Division), geology (Geologic Division), hydrology (Water Resources Division), and minerals and petroleum regulation (Conservation Division). The information in the directory is current as of November 1979.
A letter from a concerned AGU Member
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

I apologize for the delay in responding to AGU's request for support. The campaign started shortly after I had made a major adjustment in my estate that essentially limited my discretionary funds to living expenses and minor contributions. However, over the past year some of my assets have been released and I am able to make the enclosed contribution.AGU has afforded me an opportunity to serve the scientific community and to develop professionally. Now that I am in the twilight of my career, I am indeed pleased to assist in the furtherance of the sciences the AGU encourages.
First JECSS Workshop
Authors: Ichiye Takashi 
Published: October 2011

The first Japan and East China Seas Study (JECSS) workshop convened at Tsukuba University, about 60 km north of Tokyo, Japan, June 1–4, 1981, to assess hydrographic data, review descriptive and theoretical Work, and promote future cooperation for studying the Japan Sea and East China Sea and marginal seas of the Western North Pacific Ocean. The conveners were Takashi Ichiye of Texas A&M University and Kenzo Takano of Tsukuba University, and the workshop was funded by the Hidaka Foundation, which was founded by Koji Hidaka, patriarch of dynamic oceanography in Japan.There were 41 participants: seven from the United States, six from Korea, one from the Peoples Republic of China, and 27 from Japan. Twenty‐four papers were presented, and topics included the Japan Sea, the East China Sea, and marginal seas in general. Subjects concerned descriptive physical oceanography; internal waves, tides, and shelf waves; circulation modeling; data assessment; remote sensing; and sedimentology and marine chemistry. The seasonal change of the Tsushima Current, a branch of the Kuroshio in the Japan Sea, was determined by the Tohoku University group; preliminary results of the NOAA R/V Oceanographer cruise in Spring 1980 were presented; and the numerical modeling of the Japan Sea circulation, the tides of the Yellow Sea, and the barotropic current of the East China Sea were discussed. The papers presented will be published in 1982 in La Mer, a journal of the Japanese‐French Oceanographical Society.
[Comment on] Toward a near‐perfect AGU
Authors: Ilyas M. 
Published: October 2011

For many months I have been troubled by the thought of a near‐perfect AGU, deriving my inspiration from the AIP (consisting of eight big scientific societies), which has successfully organized journals in a very information‐efficient manner and is able to avoid duplication in its four‐dozenodd publications. This is a great value to members who wish to subscribe to individual journals for personal use.The recent Publications Committee letter (Eos, 62, 19, 489) inquiring whether AGU journals should be further split up along our disciplinary lines provided the stimulus for this note. I feel that there is a lot of publication overlap between AGU and AMS. JGR‐Space Physics, and JGR‐Oceans and Atmospheres duplicate to some extent the coverage of the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, the Monthly Weather Review, and the Journal of Physical Oceanography. Similarly there is overlap between the third section of JGR and Geophysics, the bulletin of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. Could there not be a federation of these societies, with one of its primary tasks to reorganize journal publication, cutting down, but not necessarily eliminating, duplication along the AIP lines? I suspect there are a number of other societies that should be included in such a federation.
Hearings on planetary budget
Authors: Richman Barbara T. 
Published: October 2011

The proposed budget for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is ‘a disaster for planetary science and exploration,’ David Morrison, professor of astronomy at the University of Hawaii, told the Subcommittee on Space Science and Applications of the House Committee on Science and Technology. Morrison was one of six scientists and aerospace industry leaders to testify on February 25. From each, the message was clear: the planetary budget, as proposed by President Reagan (Eos, February 23, p. 169), is inadequate.The proposed cuts do the most damage to mission operations and research and data analysis, Morrison told the subcommittee. ‘A substantial fraction of the planetary program is now slated for termination, including spacecraft operations and data analysis that represent much of the scientific payoff from large previous investments,’ he said.
Early crustal genesis: A report of the Airlie House Meeting
Authors: Ashwal Lewis D. , Phillips Roger J. 
Published: October 2011

Over 100 scientists from seven countries met at Airlie House, Warrenton, Virginia, November 13–17, 1981, to discuss relevant scientific issues concerning the early evolution of the crusts of the terrestrial planets. The impetus for this meeting was twofold: to bring the planetary and Archean scientific communities together and to lay the framework for a long‐term multidisciplinary research project.The motivation for such a project stems from the fact that during the past several decades vast quantities of new data relevant to the origin and evolution of the planets have been acquired. As a result, a revolution has occurred in our approach to the evolution of crust‐mantle systems of planetary bodies, with the appreciation that all but the smallest bodies in the solar system probably underwent a period of extensive melting and differentiation during their first few hundred million years of existence.
C.W. Leonis has 15‐Å molecules
Authors: Richman Barbara T. 
Published: October 2011

The star IRC+10°216, or C.W. Leonis, was a good candidate for astronomers M.B. Bell, P.A. Fedelman, Sun Kwok, and H.E. Matthews of the Herzberg Institute of Canada to study for the existence of new large extraterrestrial molecules (Nature, 295, 389‐391, 1982).C.W. Leonis is a cool red giant in Leo that is losing mass by releasing gas and dust into a broad envelope. A number of dust‐gas organic and organometallic molecules have been identified during the past 20 years. Indeed, 17 such molecules have been confirmed in IRC+10°216, seven of which have carbon‐carbon bonds, and ten of which have appended CN radicals. Bell et al. studied spectra they obtained at the 46‐m‐dish Algonquin Radio Observatory and the 37‐m‐dish Haystack Observatory and discovered existence of cyano‐deca‐penta‐yne, HC11N, the largest and heaviest molecule (∼15Å, 147 AMU) yet detected outside the earth's atmosphere.

ETL wins Army Lab Prize
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

The U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories (ETL), located in Fort Belvoir, Va., was awarded the 1981 Department of the Army Most Improved Laboratory of the Year Award for ETL's scientific and technical achievements in mapping, military geographic information, and geographic intelligence systems.ETL, the largest topographic research and development organization of its kind in the world, specializes in mapping, geodesy, point positioning, and military geographic information. ETL addresses the full range of development from basic research to a final product in the topographic sciences. In addition, scientists at the laboratory have interpreted feedback from satellites, such as Landsat, to help pinpoint and improve ecological imbalance in some areas. ETL engineers are developing electronic systems to measure dams, while other ETL staff members are designing a pseudo‐radar system for the Pershing II missile.
Hydrothermal vent yields multitude of manganese
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

A rising plume of water from an active submarine hydrothermal spring discovered 500 km west of Newport, Ore., contains the highest concentrations of manganese yet reported, according to researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park and at the University of Washington in Seattle. The vent, one of many submarine springs that have deposited large deposits of zinc‐ and silver‐rich metals along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, may be a source of renewable minerals.‘The discovery of the active water discharge from the vent sites is particularly significant because it indicates that the polymetallic deposits are still being deposited and may represent a renewable mineral deposit,’ according to William R. Normark, a marine geologist with the USGS and chief scientist aboard the S. P. Lee, the USGS research ship that was used to collect water samples above the hydrothermal vent.
Atmospheric Sciences Grants
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

The Division of Atmospheric Sciences in the National Science Foundation (NSF) is experimenting with a new system for grant renewal, according to Joan M. Jordon, special assistant to division director Eugene W. Bierly. The experimental system, based on a similar experiment by NSF's Division of Chemistry, aims to reduce rising costs and mounting paperwork associated with grant renewals while retaining the effectiveness of peer review, Jordan said.Investigators seeking grant renewals from the Division of Atmospheric Sciences with starting dates after October 1, 1982, will have the option of submitting either the traditional proposal or a set of recent publications on work under the present grant plus a short statement on future research directions. The scientific merit of the proposed work for the grant renewal will be judged by current procedures.

Geotechnical centrifuge under construction
Authors: Richman Barbara T. 
Published: October 2011

Modifications are underway at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center in California to transform a centrifuge used in the Apollo space program to the largest geotechnical centrifuge in the free world. The centrifuge, to be finished in August and opened next January, following check out and tuning, will enable geoscientists to model stratigraphic features down to 275 m below the earth's surface. Scientists will be able to model processes that are coupled with body force loading, including earthquake response of earth structures and soil structure interaction; rubbled‐bed behavior during in situ coal gasification or in oil shale in situ retorts; behavior of frozen soil; frost heave; behavior of offshore structures; wave‐seabed interactions; explosive cratering; and blast‐induced liquefaction.The centrifuge will have a load capacity of 900‐g‐tons (short); that is, it will be able to carry a net soil load of 3 short tons to a centripetal acceleration of 300 times the acceleration caused by gravity. Modified for a total cost of $2.4 million, the centrifuge will have an arm with a 7.6‐m radius and a swinging platform or bucket at its end that will be able to carry a payload container measuring 2.1×2.1 m. An additional future input of $500,000 would enable the purchase of a larger bucket that could accommodate a load of up to 20 tons, according to Charles Babendreier, program director for geotechnical engineering at the National Science Foundation. Additional cooling for the motor would also be required. The centrifuge has the capability of accelerating the 20‐ton load to 100 g.
Update on NAS

With the approval of the governing bodies of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the first phase of a major reorganization of the National Research Council [Eos, March 16, p. 194] is well underway. As part of the reorganization—which consolidates seven existing assemblies and commissions into three commissions, two offices, and an independent board—the new Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Resources will combine the activities of the former Assembly of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (AMPS) and the former Commission on Natural Resources (CNR).Herbert Friedman and Robert M. White, chairman of the assembly and of the commission, respectively, will cochair the new commission for 1 year. Charles K. Reed, executive director of the former assembly, is retiring but will serve as senior advisor to help establish the new commission and will serve as a member of the commission through June 1983. Raphael G. Kasper, executive secretary of the Environmental Studies Board, will be the commission's acting executive director.
Last birthday for Pioneer 10?
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Pioneer 10 celebrated its tenth year in space on March 2, but it may not be sending back data to scientists on earth on its eleventh birthday. Although scientists, such as James A. Van Allen, AGU President‐elect, await current spacecraft findings ‘with intense excitement,’ Pioneer 10 may fall victim to the budget ax wielded by the Reagan administration. National Aeronautics and Space Administrator James Beggs said that communications to the spacecraft may be cut off beginning in fiscal 1983 [Eos, February 23, p. 169].Having survived the ravages of its 6.6 billion km trip, Pioneer continues to function well, NASA reports, and is currently attempting to define the extent and behavior of the sun's atmosphere or heliosphere. By April 1983, Pioneer will be farther from the sun than Pluto, and by June it will pass Neptune.
1983 Mediterranean Studies
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

After a lay‐up of over 1 year and an extensive refit, R/V Robert D. Conrad of Lamont‐Doherty Geological Observatory has left Port Everglades, Florida, bound for the Pacific Ocean off of South America. Most of the 1982 Conrad operations will be based in the Pacific, highlighted by a deep‐water multichannel seismic reflection study of the Pacific Plate around Hawaii, to be conducted together with R/V Kana Keoki of the University of Hawaii. The scientific equipment on the Conrad is strongly oriented toward marine geophysical studies; however, she is also capable of carrying out limited biological, physical, and chemical oceanographic programs.Although plans are still preliminary, the 1983 Conrad schedule includes 2 months of operations in the Mediterranean Sea during the late spring or summer. This will be the first time since 1979 that a research vessel of the U.S. Academic Fleet has conducted scientific programs in the Mediterranean Sea.
Evolution of Physical Oceanography: Scientific Surveys in Honor of Henry Stommel
Authors: Stewart R. W. 
Published: October 2011

In a career that is now getting longer than I like to contemplate, I have contributed to, read, and reviewed a very large number of volumes of the type the Germans call festschrift. However, nothing I have yet seen can match this volume. It is impressive in its size, in its physical quality, in the choice of authors, and in its intellectual content.In size, it is almost exactly the same in every dimension as the Greater Vancouver telephone book (yellow pages excluded). It is well bound, and the print at two columns per page is clean and legible. Almost all of the diagrams have been taken from other publications, and some of them have obviously had their sizes changed so significantly that some have become rather ugly by being larger than intended and some have been reduced so much that numbers and letters almost need magnification to be read. Nevertheless, the quality of the paper and reproduction is such that everything is ultimately legible. The book gives every impression of solidity and high quality. Yet it must be admitted that it is rather heavy for its binding and much carrying around in airplanes has led to my copy already beginning to break away from its back. However, at $37.50 it must be one of the bargains of the decade, and no physical oceanographer should be without it.

The journal is a continuation of the Resources Evaluation Newsletter, created by six federal agencies in 1979; budget cutbacks forced the newsletter to fold last November. H. Gyde Lund of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and editor of the former newsletter, will continue as the journal's editor.The journal will contain, in addition to the technical articles, listings of current literature, general notices on resources management, and announcements of workshops, symposia, and conferences.
Western Water Resources: Coming Problems and the Policy Alternatives
Authors: Wahl Richard 
Published: October 2011

This quote from the book leads one to speculate as to what will happen to water policy in these times of increased concern for reducing federal spending, for more reliance on state and local governments as opposed to the federal government, and for more reliance on the private sector as opposed to any level of governmental control. Remembering that a wrenching debate preceded deregulation of oil and other energy prices, what are the opportunities for deregulation in the water resources field?Western Water Resources consists of the proceedings of a symposium held in Denver in September 1979 and Hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. As in any conference, there is, in addition to the organized substantive content of the papers, a mixture of the clever and the banal, peppered with some humor and chit‐chat. Among the contributors are economists, including Charles Howe, Allen Kneese, Emery Castle, and Kenneth Boulding; legal scholars, such as George Radosevich and Frank Trelease; and political figures, such as Scott Matheson, Governor of Utah, Guy Martin, former Assistant Secretary for Land and Water Resources of the Department of the Interior, and Leo Eisel, former Director of the Water Resources Council. Some papers are followed by a discussion from commentors.
Exploding star
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Three astronomers report that the star Eta Carinae, 100 times more massive than the sun, is nearing its life expectancy and will explode sometime in the next 10,000 years. Until now, astronomers have been unable to discern whether the star was in the process of being born, was a middle‐aged star with an unusual outflow of material, or an aged star about to explode.The huge star is coming to the end of what is considered a normal lifetime—about 2 million years—for a star of its size, according to Kris Davidson at the University of Minnesota, Nolan R. Walborn (presently at the Goddard Space Flight Center) of Cerro Tololo Inter‐American Observatory, and Theodore R. Gull at Goddard. When Eta Carinae explodes, the astronomers report, it could emit more light than all the hundreds of billions of other stars in the galaxy for weeks. The expected explosion, or supernova, could produce a bright point of light that would be visible in broad daylight, they add.
Monsoon Dynamics

This is a collection of 46 edited papers presented at the Joint IUTAM/IUGG International Symposium on Monsoon Dynamics, Delhi, 1977. Obviously, there is not even enough space here to mention all the titles and authors. So this review has to be limited to general comments pertaining to the major strong and weak aspects of the volume.The 46 papers (chapters) are grouped into five main parts: part I, the large scale climatology of the tropical atmosphere; II, the summer monsoon over the Indian subcontinent and East Asia; III, the physics and dynamics of the Indian Ocean during summer monsoon; IV, some important mathematical modeling techniques; and V, storm surges and flood forecasting. Each of the first three parts is also divided into two subparts: subpart a, observational studies; α, modeling and theoretical studies.
