Genealogical histories show that the inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha are derived from a known number of founders. Using the transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from mother to offspring pairs, we traced the mtDNA types found in 161 extant individuals to five female founders. Although the histor

## Abstract Aspects of the synoptic climatology of the LabradorβUngava peninsula are investigated with reference to a classification of airflow pattern types, formulated on the basis of synoptic weather maps for November 1956 to February 1958. The winters 1956β57 and 1957β58 exhibit, respectively,
Local scale ablation and energy budget measurements are reported for the Ivory glacier in the Southern Alps of New Zealand over 53 days during two consecutive summer periods. Ablation averaged 38 mm day-', but varied from less than 10 mm day ~ I to over 70 mm day I . Radiation supplied 52% of the en
The results of an objective synoptic climatology of glacier mass balance in south-western Canada are affected by the scale and degree of generality of the synoptic patterns used. Two scales of 500mb daily weather maps are compared. Statistical analysis shows little direct relationship between the tw
## Abstract The spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric aerosols is not well understood, as most studies have been constrained to data sets that include few stations and are of short duration. Furthermore, all methods for quantifying atmospheric turbidity suffer from a major constraint in t
