Coyote unmanned aircraft system observations in Hurricane Edouard (2014)

Horizontal wind, temperature, and moisture observations are presented from two Coyote unmanned aircraft system (UAS) flights in the boundary layer of Hurricane Edouard (2014). The first flight sampled the meteorological conditions in the eye and eyewall at altitudes from 900 to 1500m while Edouard was a major hurricane (105 kt) on 16 September 2014. The following day, a second Coyote sampled th...

Edouard Bertrand*, Micheline Fromont-racine, Raymond Pictet, and Thierry Grange

We have adapted to RNA molecules the ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR) procedure of genomic sequencing [Mueller, P. R. & Wold, B. (1989) Science 246, 780-786]. This new procedure, the reverse ligation-mediated PCR (RLPCR), is sufficiently sensitive to allow "in vivo" footprinting of minor RNA species. It is based on the ligation of an RNA linker of known sequence to every 5' e...

Sediment resuspension in the wakes of Hurricanes Edouard and Hortense

A unique set of physical and optical observations of sediment resuspension was obtained during the passage of two hurricanes, Edouard and Hortense. The eyes of these hurricanes passed within approximately 110 and 350 km, respectively, of our study site on the continental shelf (100 km south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts) within a two-week period in the fall of 1996. Sediments were resuspended to m...

Edouard Chatton (1883-1947) and the dinoflagellate protists: concepts and models.

Edouard Chatton contributed to our knowledge of single-celled protoctists, especially ciliates and dinoflagellates, free-living and/or symbiotic, in relation to the marine invertebrate animals in which they reside. More than the description of many new families, genera and species, and of their life cycles, he anticipated several major concepts of cell biology, including the fundamental differe...
