The global allocation of L-band, as well as the S-band spectrum, for mobile satellite services represents one of the major strengths for system design that can be utilised by the Inmarsat industry today. However, L-band is now about to be saturated with traffic, and there is a clear trend towards offering more bandwidth demanding services to mobile satellite terminals as well, including video, ...

Ground based Ka-band (33 GHz) cloud radar measurements collected at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site show that liquid cloud measurements are often contaminated by insect echoes during warm weather. Depolarization is one method of identifying and filtering insects from radar data. However, this technique often fails because the high number density of insect...

For every uncountable cardinal A, suitable negations of the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis imply: (a) There is no universal Ka 3. The instance Kuf^>t for A = Ni was settled in [KP] from a strengthening of CH.

The Just et al. manuscript relies on four other manuscripts that are currently also in review in Biogeosciences (Baumgarten et al., 2015; Francke et al., 2015; Leicher et al., 2015; Sadori et al., 2015). Consequently, in order to evaluate the manuscript in terms of scientific content, I have read through many manuscripts. This was time consuming, but I applaud the fact that all Lake Ohrid manus...

Da Qaidam and Xiao Qaidam are two of a number of lakes in northwestern China whose lake histories have been used to support the notion of a ‘‘Greatest Lakes’’ period in the region during marine isotope stage (MIS) 3. Reappraisal of the basins’ geomorphology, however, suggests that both lakes are highly problematic proxies for past climate. Xiao Qaidam has a low overflow threshold, only*10–12 m ...

By Keola Donaghy Abstract: This article examines how the elements and interactions of the natural world can used as metaphors for the formative processes of Hawaiian language composition and vocal performance. It will examine the composition Ka Wai A K?ne (“The Water of K?ne”) and its depiction of the movement of water through the ahupua?a (a pre-contact land division) to present a conceptual m...
