Previous estimates of the mean zonal flow on Jupiter from Voyager images by Ingersoll et al. (1981, J. Geophys. Res. 86, 8733-8743) and by Limaye et al. (1982, J. Atmos. Sci. 39, 1413-1432) showed good agreement in the locations of the easterly and westerly jets but differed somewhat in magnitude. Recent measurements of the high-speed jet located near 24 deg N (planetographic) latitude by Maxwo...

The hydrogen isotopic composition of terrestrial plant waxes (δ2Hwax) is widely used to reconstruct past hydroclimate. δ2Hwax values reflect source water or precipitation δ2H (δ2Hprecip) values, and when extracted from sediment archives, records δ2Hprecip can be generated. In order better interpret these records, modern calibrations between are required vegetation location diverge in other regi...

AIM To test changes in the phylogenetic relatedness, niche breadth, and life-history strategies of nematodes along a latitudinal gradient. LOCATION Sixteen wetland locations along the Pacific coast of China, from 20°N to 40°N. METHODS Linear regression was used to relate nematode phylogenetic relatedness (average taxonomic distinctness (AvTD) and average phylogenetic diversity [AvPD]), life...

Between November 2000 and October 2001 the Ulysses spacecraft performed a fast traversal of the heliospheric latitudes between 80°S and 80°N, a period close to the activity maximum of the current solar cycle. This paper provides an overview of the Ulysses observations of the transient solar wind structures associated with coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) during this period. Compared to the previo...
