We present results from assimilated analyses of observations from the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer showing evidence for a regular suppression of baroclinic circumpolar storm activity in both hemispheres of Mars around winter solstice. General circulation model simulations are then used to elucidate the structure and possible causes of this suppression, for which the local ...

The Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law (Act 367) includes under Section 4 (g) a “Code of Ethics” for engineers, land surveyors and geologists practicing in the Commonwealth. Section 4 (g) entitled, “Suspension and Revocation of Licenses; Registrations and Certificates; Reinstatements”, specifically empowers the Board to discipline any registrant guilty of misconduct in the p...

directly to power-use reduction by IT departments in the context of Federal leadership in environmental, energy, and economic performance. It then describes how deploying a power-management software solution such as Verdiem® SURVEYOR is a low-IT-impact, user-transparent and highly effective strategy that aligns well with the directive's requirements and delivers significant measurable reduction...

Landforms representative of sedimentary processes and environments that occurred early in martian history have been recognized in Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera and Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission Imaging System images. Evidence of distributary, channelized flow (in particular, flow that lasted long enough to foster meandering) and the resulting deposition of a fan-shaped apron of debri...

We study the electromagnetic coupling of the array of Gaussian and multi-moded horn antennas to the dual-reflector submillimeterwave telescope on the ESA PLANCK Surveyor designed for measuring the temperature anisotropies and polarization characteristics of the cosmic microwave background. In this paper, we present the results of our analysis concerning the measurement of polarization with tilt...

Capsule During playback experiments, the distance from surveyor to call influences chances of detection across nocturnal species in farmland and woodland habitats.Aim To evaluate how affects capability, expressed as probability hearing broadcast calls estimating their distances correctly, a bird community.Methods We conducted field experiment areas within an agricultural landscape winter summer...

The Planck Surveyor cosmic microwave background (CMB) imaging mission will make very sensitive maps of the whole sky at microwave, millimetre (mm) and sub-mm wavelengths. The steep source counts expected in the highest frequency Planck bands are likely to be associated with a strong magnification bias, and so the fraction of galaxies magnified by a factor of two or more could be greater than 10...

This paper focuses on the development of new software and agent-centric curriculum for teaching introductory computer science (CS1) students, using Surveyor’s SRV-1 robot, with the intention of creating an engaging, interactive learning environment. The SRV-1 platform is an interesting contrast to the older and more well-known LEGO Mindstorms RCX. We present our work with the SRV-1 and contrast...

[1] We have made daily global maps that cover both polar and equatorial regions of Mars for Ls 135 –360 and 0 –111 using the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) red and blue wide-angle swaths taken from May 1999 to January 2001. We study the seasonal distribution of condensate clouds and dust clouds during roughly 1 Martian year using these daily global maps. We present the dev...
