TORNADO AT SAVANNAH, GA

ION GNSS 2008 , Session C 2 , Savannah , GA ,

The Time Of Arrival (TOA) of a received signal is the most important parameter for position estimation. The accuracy of the estimated TOA is limited by multipath errors. Consequently, multipath mitigation techniques are essential for high accuracy positioning using TOA observations. Narrow Correlator and double delta correlator were introduced to reduce multipath errors in pseudoranges. These c...

Sediment quality in freshwater impoundments at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge.

Freshwater impoundments at Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), South Carolina, provide an important habitat for wildlife species, but degraded sediment quality in the Savannah River downstream of the discharge from two impoundments have caused concern about potential contaminant problems within the impoundments. The quality of sediments from five impoundments (impoundments no. 1, 2, 6, 7, ...

Savannah Perspective

biology's moment in history'. We can discuss ad nauseum whether we should dirty our hands (but then of course it will be too late), or we can devote ourselves now, 'in our moment in history', to the greatest problems humanity has ever faced. And in that sense, we are a privileged generation: I believe we have obligations to the public interest, to science, and to ourselves to convert our scient...

Leukemia mortality among workers at the Savannah River Site.

The authors investigated associations between ionizing radiation and leukemia mortality among workers at the Savannah River Site (South Carolina). A total of 18,883 workers hired between 1950 and 1986 were followed through 2002 to ascertain causes of death. Estimates of radiation doses from external sources and internal tritium uptakes were derived from dosimetry records through 1999. Radiation...
