In this report we describe a compact, easily deployed, moored system for oceanographic and meteorological observations in the coastal ocean. The system consists of a surface and subsurface mooring pair deployed adjacent to one another. Compared to a single catenary surface mooring, this arrangement allows the entire water column to be instrumented. All of the instruments in the system log high resolution time series data. Additionally, the mooring line instruments periodically report averaged...

Since the end of the Korean war in 1953, the United States has been the guarantor of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. Today, after thirty-six years of U.S. military protection, the South Korean economy is one of the world's most dynamic, fully capable of financing its own national defense. Its freely elected democratic government has dropped its hard-line, anti- communist rhetoric and is pursuing a northern diplomacy aimed at a peaceful reunification. Finally, its military stands on...

Since 1953 there has been a fierce military competition between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The DPRK has committed over 10% of its GNP since 1963 to defense expenditures, whereas, the ROK has spent a relatively small portion (3-6%) of GNP over the same period. Because the U.S. plans to withdraw from the ROK in the near future, a heavy burden will be imposed upon the South Korean government to maintain its national defense. The U.S....

The United States Navy plans to decommission several classes of warships in the next decade. Each of the major Southern Cone countries of Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, and Chile) perceives a geopolitically-driven need for a blue-water navy. Each of the navies needs frigates and destroyers to achieve blue-water status. This thesis examines U.S. ship transfer policy to the Southern Cone. It concludes that the Adams-, Coontz-, and Knox-class ships that the U.S. Navy is beginning to...

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...

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...

The physical processes responsible for the explosive cyclogenesis that took place over the mid-west U.S. on 14-15 December 1987. This system is worthy of study because of its explosive development (central pressure dropped 27 mb in 18 hours) totally over land. Statistical studies show that explosive development of land-locked cyclones or 'bombs' are rare events. During the initial phase (1800 UTC 14 Dec to 0400 UTC 15 Dec) the cyclone experienced a pressure fall of 1 mb/hr. Cyclogenesis was...
