Studies of conditions over the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) have found instances of extremely dry air in the middle troposphere (e.g., Parsons et al. 1994; Numaguti et al. 1995; Yoneyama and Fujitani 1995; Mapes and Zuidema 1996). These dry air masses can have a zonal extent of ~1000 km and a width of several hundred kilometers. There is often a strong inversion at the base of the dry air, wh...

[1] IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) AR4 (Fourth Assessment Report) GCMs (General Circulation Models) predict a tropical tropospheric warming that increases with height, reaches its maximum at ∼200 hPa, and decreases to zero near the tropical tropopause. This study examines the GCM‐predicted maximum warming in the tropical upper troposphere using satellite MSU (microwave soundin...

the use of magnetic fields in targeted drug delivery, especially for treatment of cancers and tumoral regions, is one of the significant techniques in the field of modern methods of treatment. considering that many vital biological tissues have been located deep in the body, then for targeted drug delivery and effective treatment in these tissues, it is required to bring therapeutic agent to th...

The subsurface radar suffers from strong clutter from surface and severe wave attenuation in the underground. This paper presents a unique countermeasure to these problems using a polarimetric FM-CW radar equipped with equivalent time sensitivity control (STC) technique. We first apply the polarimetric filtering principle to suppress surface clutter, then, use an equivalent STC technique suited...

Gravity prospecting (gravimetry) is one of the geophysical methods for studying upper part Earth crust. To study spatial position Ardon deep fault, studies on gravitational field gradient change have been carried out. A site along road Arkhonskaya - Dur-Dur was chosen as a profile. According to obtained results, greatest deviation from average value observed section 18th 36th kilometer. At same...
