... Gauging the impact of executing science program across different COS/FUV lifetime positions . ... Changing Programs & Resolving Problems . ... The first such move occurred on 23 July 2012, when the COS FUV spectrum was moved to the COS FUV Lifetime Position 2 (LP2). ... It now appears that the move to COS/FUV Lifetime Position 3 will not occur until early 2015, and so a substantial fraction of Cycle 22 observationsare likely to occur at the COS FUV lifetime position 2, prior to the change. ...

... Billions of years ago the surface of Mars looked very different than it does today. Where there is now only a dry red desert, there was once an vast ocean that covered about 20% the planet's surface. That means it covered more of the surface of Mars than the Atlantic Ocean covers on Earth! ... So, by looking at how much heavy water is in Mars' atmosphere in comparison to the lighter kind, we can tell how much normal water the planet has lost into space. ...

With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...

... In order to disentangle the effects of different climate variables on tree-ring growth rates of different species, and to explore the possibility that more than one species could improve the accuracy of the reconstructions of climate using tree rings, a methodical study of trees in close proximity to the Armagh Observatory climate station was initiated together with Ana Maria Garc?a Su?rez, and continued as part of the latter's PhD thesis with John Butler and Professor Mike Baillie (QUB). ...

Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. A low altitude polar orbit is widely used for monitoring the Earth because each day, as the Earth rotates below it, the entire surface is covered. ... A different choice was made for MAGSAT, orbited 1979-80 to survey the Earth's own magnetic field near its surface. ...
