چکیده
A radio holographic approach, developed by Pavelyev (1998), Hocke et al. (1999), Igarashi et al. (2000), is applied to observation of wave phenomena in the upper atmosphere using Global Positioning System "Microlab-l" satellite (GPS/MET) radio occultation data. In the current state the radio holography approach uses the radar focused synthetic aperture principle to obtain high spatial resolution, and to remove the interference part corresponding to scattering from the upper ionosphere. High spatial resolution and accuracy of the radio holographic method is validated by means of revealing the weak signal reflected from the sea in the GPS/MET radio occultation data. The radio holographic method gives a new possibility to measure directly the vertical gradient of the electron density altitude profile in the D-layer using the radio occultation signal. The results of the application of radio holographic analysis to two GPS/MET occultation events (07 February 1997, No. 0447, 0158), in the D-region of the ionosphere, are discussed. Wave structures in the electron density concentration with a vertical spatial period of 1.4-6 km, and variations in the electron density gradient from +5.10 9 to +8' 109 [l/(m3km)], have been retrieved from the D-layer data. The features observed in the vertical electron density profiles may be connected with breaking of gravity waves in the D-layer of the ionosphere. © 2001 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Carcinogenesis is a multi-stage process with sequence of genetic events governing the phenotypic expression of a series of transformation steps leading to the development of metastatic cancer. In the present study, immortalized human bronchial (BEP2D) and breast (MCF-1 OF) cells were irradiated with graded doses of either 150 keV/ktm alpha particles or 1 GeV/nucleon SrFe ions. Transformed cells...

The structure of the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in the GEOS-2 General Circulation Model (GCM) is discussed. The emphasis of this study is on the reality of monthly-mean temperature and water vapor distributions in the model, compared to reasonable observational estimates. It is shown that although the zonal-mean temperature is in good agreement with observations, the GCM ...
متن کاملOn the effective clustering of multidimensional data sequences
In this paper, we investigate the problem of clustering multidimensional data sequences such as video streams. Each sequence is represented by a small number of hyper-rectangular clusters for subsequent indexing and similarity search processing. We present a linear clustering algorithm that guarantees the predefined level of clustering quality, and show its effectiveness via experiments on vari...
