Abstract Storms of ultralong period (14-18 seconds) microseisms are shown to be concurrent with storms of the more familiar long period (7-9 seconds) microseisms, and to be related to the same meteorological disturbances. Data from Palisades, New York, were analyzed for two cases, one for a meteorological storm over the northeastern Pacific and one for a meteorological storm in the northwestern Atlantic. The conclusions are based on correlation of continuous spectral analyses of the concurrent microseism storms, and on ground particle motion studies. The periods of the ultralong period microseisms at any given time are, within the precision of the measurements, twice the periods of the long period microseisms at that time.

<p>There is a significant interest in constraining the mantle conductivity beneath oceans. One of the main sources of data that can be used to reveal the conductivity distribution in the oceanic mantle are time-varying magnetic fields measured at island geomagnetic observatories. From these data local electromagnetic (EM) responses are estimated and then inverted in terms of conductivity. The challenge here is that island responses are strongly distorted by the ocean induction effect (OIE) originating from the lateral conductivity contrasts between the conductive ocean and resistive land. OIE is generally modeled by global simulations using relatively coarse grids (down to 0.25 degree resolution) to represent the bathymetry. Insufficiently accurate accounting for the OIE may lead to the wrong interpretation of the observed responses. We study whether the small-scale bathymetry features influence the island responses. To address this question we developed a global-to-Cartesian 3-D EM modeling framework based on a nested integral equation approach, which allows to efficiently account for the effects of high-resolution bathymetry. Two geomagnetic observatories, located in Indian (Cocos Island) and Pacific (Oahu Island) Oceans, are chosen to study the OIE in long-period responses. Numerical tests demonstrate that accounting of the very local bathymetry (down to 1 km resolution) dramatically change modeling results. Remarkably, the anomalous behavior of the imaginary parts of the responses at Cocos Island, namely, the change of sign at short periods, is reproduced by using highly detailed bathymetry.</p>

An analytical discussion of that case of motion in the restricted problem, in which the mean motions of the infinitesimal, and smaller-massed, bodies about the larger one are nearly in the ratio of two small integers displays the existence of a series of periodic solutions which, for commensurabilities of the typep+ 1:p, includes solutions of Poincaré'sdeuxième sortewhen the commensurability is very close, and of thepremière sortewhen it is less close. A linear treatment of the long-period variations of the elements, valid for motions in which the elements remain close to a particular periodic solution of this type, shows the continuity of near-commensurable motion with other motion, and some of the properties of long-period librations of small amplitude.To extend the investigation to other types of motion near commensurability, numerical integrations of the equations for the long-period variations of the elements were carried out for the 2:1 interior case (of which the planet 108 “Hecuba” is an example) to survey those motions in which the eccentricity takes values less than 0·1. An investigation of the effect of the large amplitude perturbations near commensurability on a distribution of minor planets, which is originally uniform over mean motion, shows a “draining off” effect from the vicinity of exact commensurability of a magnitude large enough to account for the observed gap in the distribution at the 2:1 commensurability.

The discussion was separated into 3 different topics according to the separation made by the reviewer between the different periods of waves observed in the sun :1) global modes (long period oscillations) with predominantly radial harmonic motion.2) modes with large coherent - wave systems but not necessarily global excitation (300 s oscillation).3) locally excited - short period waves.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

The origin of mica polytypes has long been a challenging problem for crystal- lographers, mineralogists and petrologists. From the petrological point of view, interest in this field arose from the potential use of layer stacking data to furnish further informations about equilibrium and/or kinetic conditions prevailing during the crystallization of the widespread mica-bearing rocks. From the compilation of previous experimental works dealing with the occurrence domains of the various mica "polymorphs" (1Mr, 1M, 2M1, 2M2 and 3T) within water-pressure vs temperature fields, it became clear that most of these modifications should be considered as metastable for a fixed mica species. Furthermore, the natural occurrence of long-period (or complex) polytypes could not be accounted for by phase considerations. This highlighted the need of a more detailed kinetic approach of the problem and, in particular, of the role growth mechanisms of basal faces could play in this crystallographic phenomenon.

In reaction sintered SiC (∽ 5um average grain size), about 15% of the grains were found to have long-period structures, which were identifiable by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the stability of the long-period polytypes at high temperature, crystal structures as well as microstructural changes in the long-period polytypes were analyzed as a function of time in isothermal annealing.Each polytype was analyzed by two methods: (1) Electron diffraction, and (2) Electron micrograph analysis. Fig. 1 shows microdensitometer traces of ED patterns (continuous curves) and calculated intensities (vertical lines) along 10.l row for 6H and 84R (Ramsdell notation). Intensity distributions were calculated based on the Zhdanov notation of (33) for 6H and [ (33)3 (32)2 ]3 for 84R. Because of the dynamical effect in electron diffraction, the observed intensities do not exactly coincide with those intensities obtained by structure factor calculations. Fig. 2 shows the high resolution TEM micrographs, where the striped patterns correspond to direct resolution of the structural lattice periodicities of 6H and 84R structures and the spacings shown in the figures are as expected for those structures.
