Abstracts are presented on various aspects of plasma physics, including theoretical discussions and ionospheric plasmas. The topics considered cover Alfven waves, magnetized plasmas, plasma diffusion, Poynting flux measurements, electric fields, the magnetosphere, auroras, and plasma convection.
Abstract of presentation to agriculture/forestry/range resources session on natural vegetation inventory for Arizona
Abstracts of publications in plasma physics are presented including theoretical and ionospheric research.
The proceedings of a colloquium on lunar dynamics and observational coordinate systems are presented. Discussions were held on the establishment of a fundamental reference system and on the lunar ephemerides. Abstracts of the subjects discussed at the meeting are submitted. Some of the topics discussed are: (1) coordinates of the Apollo retroreflectors, (2) determination of lunar baselines, (3) numerical series for the variations of lunar coordinates, (4) fundamental craters for establishing a lunar coordinate system, and (5) composite lunar gravity fields.
