An experimental investigation of ir sky radiance and radiance fluctuations in the 8-13-micro atmospheric window is reported. Measurements were made with ground-based, filtered bolometer detector radiometers under clear sky and cirrus overcast conditions. Sky radiance was measured very close to the limb of the sun to permit detection of the solar aureole caused by forward scattering by cirrus ic...

in the contact metamorphic aureole of the next to the granodiorite intrusive body in the hassan-abaad village of yazd, high frequency garnet in different metamorphic zones is notable, which some contain garnet crystal with obvious zoning. obtained data from core to rim of garnet by sem point analysis, show that garnet crystals belong to grandite series, and sharp variation of al and fe from cen...

[1] Amazonis Planitia, located between the two main volcanic provinces on Mars (Tharsis and Elysium), is characterized by extremely smooth topography at several scale lengths, as smooth as oceanic abyssal plains topography on Earth. We use Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data (primarily very high resolution Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topography and derivative slope maps, gradient maps, and ...
