The United States of America’s future geostationary satellite series, beginning with GOES-R in a 2012 timeframe, will be a major advancement in geostationary observing capability. GOES-R’s major meteorological observing instruments are an Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) with up to 16 channels, a lightning mapper, and a Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES) that is comprised of a hyperspectral ...

Using the adaptive optics system, Hokupa’a, at Gemini-North, we have directly imaged a companion around the UKIRT faint standard M8 star, LHS 2397a (FS 129) at a separation of 2.96 AU. Near-Infrared photometry of the companion has shown it to be an L7.5 brown dwarf and confirmed the spectral type of the primary to be M8. We also derive a substellar mass of the companion of 0.068M⊙, although mas...

iri the subject in other places would do so also. Jessore, as the reputed birthplace of cholera, and a place almost proverbially of bad repute in a sanitary sense, would, I thought, afford an excellent opportunity of studying meteorological conditions with special reference to the causation of disease, and constitute, even more than Calcutta, a type of the climate of the delta of the Ganges. Ha...
