End‐of‐Decade Conference emphasizes education as top priority for future programs
Authors: Heindl L. A. 
Published: October 2011

The International Conference on the Results of the International Hydrological Decade and on Future Programs in Hydrology (the End‐of‐Decade Conference) praised the IHD for its accomplishments, noted areas in which continuing improve ment is needed, and recommended that the highest priority in the program for hydrology in Unesco during the next six years be given to the educational and training needs of developing countries.Thus the End‐of‐Decade Conference, which met at Unesco House, modified the priorities of the original plan for the International Hydrological Program of Unesco. Scientific advancement had been given the highest priority among six objectives in the original plan. The rationale for the change was based on the conference's assessment of the needs of developing countries. The consensus was that clearly the most pressing requirement of these countries in advancing their hydrological capabilities is for accelerated activities in education and training.

A proper balance: Basic and applied science
Authors: Manheim Frank T. 
Published: October 2011

The captain of our scientific ship, Frank Press, has recently noted dwindling rations and hungry looks on his crew, while for the most part keeping his telescope trained on the distant horizon (President's Page editorial). I suggest that he is missing some important landscape around him, and the opportunity to acquire food supplies en route.One must recognize that the crimp in basic research funding has had some positive side effects. Whereas a few years ago basic research carried away the cream of the young scientific crop, and the practical needs of the country rarely saw this talent again, increasing numbers of good scientists have been filtering down to hinterland educational establishments such as our own at South Florida, to public and private applied research organizations, government agencies, and even—mirabile dictu—to regulatory agencies. Some scientists who had their hearts set on name institutions came with chips on their shoulders, but many found to their surprise that they could have a satisfying career spending part of their time doing their thing and another part with things that need doing.

Folklore and the aurora
Authors: Holzworth Robert H. 
Published: October 2011

The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon of striking beauty and overwhelming presence in certain parts of the world. It is therefore natural to ask what effect these northern lights have had on the native cultures in the auroral zones. Since the sun, moon, and stars all have a place in the mythology of most primitive cultures, it is not surprising that mention of the aurora is prevalent in the legends and folklore of the people who live within regular view of it.This paper does not attempt to delve into all the various historical sightings and accompanying explanations of the aurora but rather to relate some of the myths and legends built around the northern lights. There exist extensive listings of historical references to the aurora [Petrie, 1963], but it is not until one consults the folktales of the northern cultures that these sightings have any legendary importance. Auroral displays are connected to and explained by myths of great variety, and even today the northern lights appear in short stories and ballads such as the works of Service [1944].
Upper atmosphere research at NCAR balloon facility
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

To conceive of a ballon made of 16 acres of filmy plastic and filled with millions of cubic feet of helium would be enough to tax anyone's imagination. But launching such a balloon, carrying instruments that weigh more than a ton, merely exercizes the staff s ingenuity at the National Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas.Balloons launched from the NSBF (operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder) have gathered data on cosmic rays in a search for evidence of antimatter, photographed the corona of the sun above most of the obscuring atmosphere around the earth, and helped to compile a profile of the chemical composition of the stratosphere. Through their creative ingenuity and skill, the engineers, meteorologists, technicians, and support personnel at the facility have helped to advance scientific ballooning to status as a sophisticated art. Instrument packages weighing more than two tons are launched routinely from the facility, and—more important—are successfully recovered.

A special Symposium on Data Requirements for Operational Water‐Quality Models is being sponsored by the Water Quality Committee of the Hydrology Section of AGU. This symposium is scheduled for the 57th Annual Meeting of AGU, to be held in Washington D.C., during April 12–16, 1976.Considerable activity in recent years has centered on development and application of physical‐based water‐quality models. On numerous occasions, data deficiencies for model calibration and verification have curtailed the effectiveness of such models in influencing policy, investments, and decisions regarding water‐quality control and management practices.
