Inter-continental, Inter-agency Arraying - the Galileo Experience

S i n c e N o v e m b e r 7 , 1996, (he Ga/i/eo orbifa/ tour of Jupjfer and jts m o o n s (Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa) is routinely supporied by a massive array of large antennas: two 70-meter antennas in GDSCC2 (California) and CDSCC3 (Australia), a 64meter antenna at Parkes (Australia), and addifiona/ 34-reefer antennas at CDSCC. The scope of this array is unprecedented it operates daily ...

Regional Impact of Inter-Continental Aerosol Transport

In this paper, we present results showing the usefulness of multi-wavelength lidar measurements to study the interaction of aerosols in the PBL with long range advected aerosol plumes. In particular, our measurements are used to determine the plume angstrom exponent, which allows us to differentiate smoke events from dust events, as well as partitioning the total aerosol optical depth obtained ...

Combining GPS and VLBI for inter-continental frequency transfer

For decades the global positioning system (GPS) has been the only space geodetic technique routinely used for inter-continental frequency transfer applications. In the past very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) has also been considered for this purpose and the method’s capabilities were studied several times. However, compared to GPS current VLBI technology only provides few observations per...

Remarks: The attached report is one of the evaluations of the first “Groups” of MIF projects—Alternative dispute resolution (document MIF/GN-78-2), Micro-finance (document MIF/GN-78-3), Financial reform and capital markets (document MIF/GN-78-4). The summary report (document MIF/GN-78-1) brings together the initial findings from each report on the evaluations and attempts to derive general less...
