Coordinate transformations for studies of interactions between interplanetary and geomagnetic fields

A graphical procedure is provided for performing coordinate transformations between the geocentric-solar-equatorial, geocentric-solar-ecliptic and geocentric-solar-magnetospheric coordinate systems. The procedure is designed to facilitate intercomparison of previous studies of interactions between interplanetary and geomagnetic fields that made use of these coordinate systems. The interaction in the geocentric-solar-magnetosphere system has been shown to give the most consistent results

The Missouri plan of growing thrifty pigs

"March, 1940""It is becoming increasingly difficult in the corn belt to produce thrifty pigs. When the country was new, large, healthy litters were raised because such troubles as worms and necrotic-enteritis were rarely encountered. The constant use of the same fields and lots for a quarter of a century, in hog production, has caused such an accumulation of worm eggsa nd filth-born bacteria that a good thrifty bunch of pigs now is the exception rather than the rule."--First page.J.W.

The relationships between high latitude convection reversals and the energetic particle morphology observed by the Atmosphere Explorer

Simultaneous measurements of the auroral zone particle precipitation and the ion convection velocity by Atmosphere Explorer show a consistent difference between the location of the poleward boundary of the auroral particle precipitation and the ion convection reversal. The difference of about 1.5 degrees of invariant latitude is such that some part of the antisunward convection lies wholly within the auroral particle precipitation region. The nature of the convection reversals within the precipitation region suggests that in this region the convection electric field is generated on closed field lines that connect in the magnetosphere to the low latitude boundary layer

The Missouri plan of sheep improvement

"March, 1940""Missouri ranks as the leading state in the corn belt in the production of early spring lambs. A relatively short winter with sufficiently low temperatures to hold sheep parasites in check, and an early spring, make conditions nearly ideal for the production of February lambs. Pasture from bluegrass and the small grains (wheat, rye, barley and oats mixed with rape) supplies early spring grazing for ewes. A liberal milk flow as a result of good pasture enables February and March lambs to reach the late May and early June market. These natural conditions and the proximinity of markets give Missouri sheep raisers advantages not common in other sections of the corn belt."--First paragraph.T.A. Ewing, and J.W. Burc

Report from magnetospheric science

By the early 1990s, magnetospheric physics will have progressed primarily through observations made from Explorer-class spacecraft, sounding rockets, ground based facilities, and shuttle based experiments. The global geospace science (GGS) element of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program, when combined with contributions to the ESA Cluster mission and ground based and computer modeling programs, will form the basis for a major U.S. initiative in magnetospheric physics. The scientific objectives of the GGS program involve the study of energy transport throughout geospace. The Cluster mission will investigate turbulence and boundary phenomena in geospace, particularly at high latitudes on the dayside and in the region of the neutral sheet at geocentric distances of about 20 earth radii on the night side of the earth. The current state of knowledge is reviewed and the goals of these missions are briefly discussed
