GPS/MET successfully launched - early data look excellent
Article Abstract:
University Corp. for Atmospheric Research's Global Positioning System-Meteorology (GPS-MET) project involves the use of radio occultation to acquire accurate and high-resolution meteorological data. Results obtained by the low-earth orbit satellite MicroLab 1, which was launched in Apr. 3, 1995, show that radio occultation can be applied to generate refractivity profiles. Temperature and water vapor profiles can also be utilized for weather and climate change prediction.

Massive ocean current may provide clues to global warming
Article Abstract:
A research group composed of 26 scientists will conduct studies of cold-water current aboard the JOIDES Resolution, the largest scientific drill ship in the world. The geologists representing nine countries will begin sailing on Aug 16, 1998 from Sydney, Australia, to study Pacific Ocean depths. They will analyze samples of deep-sea mud shaped by the deep currents on the sea floor to gain an insight into the impact of changes in the current on global warming.
