## Abstract A previous analysis of the energy balance of small particles in the earth's atmosphere is extended to substances that have special significance in the stratospheric aerosol layer, such as sulphuric acid and volcanic ash. The analysis is based on establishing a balance between the power
Results on the structure of the convective atmospheric boundary layer based on the analyses of data from the instrumented NSSL-KTVY tower, airborne Doppler lidar, and ground-based Doppler radars are presented. The vertically averaged wind over the boundary layer was found to be insensitive to barocl
Mapping of regolith layer thickness for the lunar nearside is carried out with Arecibo radar data at 70 cm wavelength (T. W. Thompson 1987, Earth Moon Planets 37, 59-70) and distributions of iron and titanium content derived from Earth-based optical data (Yu. Shkuratov et al. 1999, Icarus 137, 222-2
In a recent Icarus article, Shkuratov and Bondarenko (2001) propose a model for the depth of the lunar regolith based on 70-cm radar observations and near-infrared spectroscopy. This model treats the regolith as a single homogeneous layer of lossy dust, and ignores scattering by buried rocks. There
