Global distribution of total cloud cover and cloud type amounts over the ocean

Description: This is the fourth of a series of atlases to result from a study of the global cloud distribution from ground-based observations. The first two atlases (NCAR/TN-201+STR and NCAR/TN-241+STR) described the frequency of occurrence of each cloud type and the co-occurrence of different types, but included no information about cloud amounts. The third atlas (NCAR/TN-273+STR) described, for the land areas of the earth, the average total cloud cover and the amounts of each cloud type, and their geograpā€¦ more

Conformation, Orientation and Interaction in Molecular Monolayers: A Surface Second Harmonic and Sum Frequency Generation Study

Description: We have used sum frequency generation (SFG) to study the order in a silane monolayer before and after the deposition of a coadsorbed liquid crystal monolayer. We observe an increase in the order of the chain of the silane molecule induced by the interpenetration of the liquid crystal molecules. By using second harmonic generation (SHG) and SFG, we have studied the orientation and conformation of the liquid crystal molecule on clean and silane coated glass surfaces. On both surfaces, the biphenyā€¦ more

HIF/HIFAR accomplishments: A synopsis (December 1988)

Description: The goal of the HIFAR program is to build a physics and technology data base for high-current introduction linacs using multiple ion beams and current amplification. A central issue is maintaining a low enough 6-D emittance to allow focussing to a small focal spot. High current sources of heavy ions have more than adequate brightness; the single-beam transport experiment established linac transport limits; the multiple-beam experiment amplifies current in four beams; high-voltage injector for 1ā€¦ more

Dielectron production in p+Be and Ca+Ca collisions at the Bevalac

Description: We discuss the physics objectives of the DLS program with some emphasis on the possible use of dileptons as a probe of pion dynamics in nuclear matter. Data on p + Be reactions at 1-5 GeV and Ca + Ca at 1 GeV/A are presented. The observation of a structure at twice the pion mass in the e/sup +/e/sup /minus// invariant mass spectra above 2 GeV beam energy and the excitation function for the p + Be reaction suggest that pion annihilation is the main dielectron source above 2 GeV. The dielectron mā€¦ more

Mechanisms of cascade collapse

Description: The spontaneous collapse of energetic displacement cascades in metals into vacancy dislocation loops has been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Simulations of 5 keV recoil events in Cu and Ni provide the following scenario of cascade collapse: atoms are ejected from the central region of the cascade by replacement collision sequences; the central region subsequently melts; vacancies are driven to the center of the cascade durā€¦ more
