Strong recent interest with the aerospace community to build smaller spacecraft necessitates the development of space hardware able to fit the unique requirements with respect to mass, size, and power.
Low-temperature (LTO) chemical vapor deposited (CVD) silicon dioxide was investigated for use as an insulator matierial in microfabriacted ion engine accelerator grids.
Proof-of-concept testing of a microfabricated vaporizing liquid thruster was performed.
The anomalous warming along the equator is part of the developing El Nino condition and is related to the westerly wind anomalies and the relaxation of the trade-winds over the equatorial Pacific.
The major differences between monthly-mean ocean-surface wind fields derived from the observations of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Scatterometer (NSCAT) and produced by the operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) model of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts are found in coastal and equatorial regions, where the sharp changes are smoothed over in NWP products.
Monsoons are the seasonal changes of winds forced by continent-ocean temperature contrast. Their annual onset, intensity, and retreat vary greatly, and the variation has strong economic impact and may cause severe human suffering.
