Possible interaction of interstellar particles with the solar and terrestrial environment
The possibility for detection of interstellar particles in the earth's environment is considered on the basis of the passage of the solar system through the interstellar medium. Among the forces which inhibit interstellar particle penetration, the deflection by the solar magnetic field and the repulsive force due to the radiation from the sun are by far the most important

Chirplet approximation of band-limited, real signals made easy
In this paper we present algorithms for approximating real band-limited
signals by multiple Gaussian Chirps. These algorithms do not rely on matching
pursuit ideas. They are hierarchial and, at each stage, the number of terms in
a given approximation depends only on the number of positive-valued maxima and
negative-valued minima of a signed amplitude function characterizing part of
the signal. Like the algorithms used in \cite{gre2} and unlike previous
methods, our chirplet approximations require neither a complete dictionary of
chirps nor complicated multi-dimensional searches to obtain suitable choices of
chirp parameters

A plan for the economic assessment of the benefits of improved meteorological forecasts
Benefit-cost relationships for the development of meteorological satellites are outlined. The weather forecast capabilities of the various weather satellites (Tiros, SEOS, Nimbus) are discussed, and the development of additional satellite systems is examined. A rational approach is development that leads to the establishment of the economic benefits which may result from the utilization of meteorological satellite data. The economic and social impacts of improved weather forecasting for industries and resources management are discussed, and significant weather sensitive industries are listed
