Rainfall records at the University of Miami and at many other places throughout Florida were examined for the years 1960-1978 inclusive to determine maximum rates and durations to be expected. Radar was sometimes used to determine the dimensions of rain cells. Hourly rainfall totals greater than 2 inches occurred most frequently in central and south Florida. Recording raingages showed that most of the hours with more than 2 inches of rain were convective storms in which the total amount fell in...

We present analysis of precision radial velocities (RV) of 1134 mostly red giant stars in the southern sky, selected as candidate astrometric grid objects for the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). Only a few (typically, two or three) spectroscopic observations per star have been collected, with the main goal of screening binary systems. The estimated rate of spectroscopic binarity in this sample of red giants is 32 per cent at the 0.95 confidence level, and 46 per cent at the 0.75 confidence....

Many catchment hydrologic and ecologic processes are impacted by the storage capacity of soil water, which is dictated by the profile thickness and water retention properties of soil. Soil water retention properties are primarily controlled by soil texture, which in turn varies spatially in response to microclimate-induced differences in insolation, wetness, and temperature. All of these variables can be strongly differentiated by slope aspect. In this study, we compare quantitative measures of...

The long term goal of our QPE work is to: 1) quantitatively understand what the uncertainties are in low frequency (10-1000 Hz) acoustic propagation and noise that are caused by variable and complex oceanography and seabed structure, 2) determine the limits to predicting the fluctuating and variable propagation and noise in this frequency regime and others, and 3) ascertain what naval advantage may be gained (if any) by understanding the nature of the uncertainty.

The detection of infrasound in the presence of wind is challenging. Increasing wind speeds lead to higher noise floors. While the exact nature of the noise is still a subject of investigation, several technologies and array configurations have been developed to maximize the signal to noise ratio and lower the detection threshold. Optical fiber infrasound sensors (OFIS) are long compliant tubes wrapped with two optical fibers that integrate pressure change along the length of the tube with laser...

The question may be asked: how effective is the second front policy in terms of resolving the conflict? The ongoing violence in the southern...

When the American Civil War ended in 1865, Northern expectations were that a properly executed reconstruction plan would result in the South's restoration and rapid entry back into the Union. Due to a poorly planned, misguided approach, however, Union efforts in the South did not achieve the objectives of a re-unified republic and equal opportunity for its citizens. Instead, white Southerners resented the North, despised the idea of equality for their former slaves, and spawned an insurgency...
