Spatial sampling of the thermospheric vertical wind field at auroral latitudes

Results are presented from two nights of bistatic Doppler measurements of neutral thermospheric winds using Fabry!Perot spectrometers at Mawson and Davis stations in Antarctica. A scanning Doppler imager (SDI) at Mawson and a narrow-field Fabry-Perot spectrometer (FPS) at Davis have been used to estimate the vertical wind at three locations along the great circle joining the two stations, in addition to the vertical wind routinely observed above each station. These data were obtained from observations of the 630.0 nm airglow line of atomic oxygen, at a nominal altitude of 240 km. Low!resolution all-sky images produced by the Mawson SDI have been used to relate disturbances in the measured vertical wind field to auroral activity and divergence in the horizontal wind field. Correlated vertical wind responses were observed on a range of horizontal scales from ~150 to 480 km. In general, the behavior of the vertical wind was in agreement with earlier studies, with strong upward winds observed poleward of the optical aurora and sustained, though weak, downward winds observed early in the night. The relation between vertical wind and horizontal divergence was seen to follow the general trend predicted by Burnside et al. (1981), whereby upward vertical winds were associated with positive divergence and vice versa; however, a scale height approximately 3–4 times greater than that modeled by NRLMSISE-00 was required to best fit the data using this relation

Re Board of School Trustees, School District No 70 (Alberni) and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 727

Union Grievance relating to employment of part-time employees. This arbitration arises out of the implementation by the employer of Program Chance , the thrust of which is explained in the following excerpts from a schools department circular dated April 21, 1980

Re St Vincent\u27s Guest House and CUPE, Loc 1082

The union alleges that the employer breached the collective agreement between the parties effective January 1, 1989 to December 31, 1990, and in particular art. 13.01, Seniority. The union requests that the grievor be granted the position in question and compensated for any lost income which resulted from the alleged breach

Re Int\u27l Ass\u27n of Machinists and Gabriel of Canada Ltd

Employee Grievance alleging improper demotion. Only the portions of the award dealing with a preliminary objection are published. Preliminary objection: On a preliminary objection Mr. Williamson argued that there was no basis under the collective agreement upon which this board of arbitration could interfere with the company\u27s decision to demote the grievor for lack of skill and ability. Article 3, it was argued, puts the matter entirely in the hands of the company

Re Corporation of the City of Toronto and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79

Preliminary Issue relating to arbitrability of judicial inquiry report. Report admissible. Employee grievances alleging discriminatory demotion and discharge without reasonable cause contrary to art. 2.01 of the collective agreement between the parties in force from January 1, 1977 until December 31, 1977. Grievor seeks reinstatement to his former position without loss of salary, seniority or benefits and to have the alleged incident stricken from his record

Re Corporation of the City of Toronto and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79

Supplementary Award relating to remedies for unjust discharge. Reinstatement ordered

Re Corporation of the City of Toronto and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79

Employee Grievance alleging unjust discharge. On October 13, 1977, the grievor, Brian Risdon, was demoted from the position of chief plumbing inspector for the City of Toronto, which he had held since January 23, 1970, to plumbing inspector. On October 14, 1977, he was discharged. The evidence is that prior to the events which gave rise to this demotion and then discharge the grievor had never been disciplined, or even criticized by his superiors in the department of buildings of the City of Toronto, for the way he did his job

Re Corporation of the City of Toronto and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79

Preliminary motion relating to admissibility of evidence. On October 13, and 14, 1977, Brian Risdon filed grievances un­der the collective agreement between the parties. In the first he alleged that he had been discriminatorily demoted and sought re­instatement to his former position without loss of salary, senior­ity or benefits. In the second he alleged that he had been dismissed without reasonable cause and disciplined twice for the same alleged conduct and sought reinstatement without loss of benefits, wages or seniority and to have the alleged incident stricken from his record. Both grievances were finally denied by letters of January 30, 1978, signed by R. S. W. Rae, director of la­bour relations for the city
