Possible predictability in overflow from the Denmark Strait
Article Abstract:
Cold dense water from the Denmark Strait sill overflows and descends to keep the deep ocean ventilated and is important in global thermohaline circulation. Important changes in the characteristics of the overflow during winter 1996-97 are reported, using measurements from current-meter moorings and an inverted echo sounder. The overflow was found to warm to its highest monthly value, and exhibited slowing and thinning of the lower margin. The extreme warmth may be a lagged response to early warming upstream in the Fram Strait.

Rewriting history is not possible
Article Abstract:
A demand for an apology from Japan for its role in the Second World War is not a solution to the horrible acts of a war. However, the Japanese society should give priority to openness which is evident in the recent history of the Germans and Russians. Various efforts to civilize warfare have not yielded results though a legal measure banning the use of inhumane weapons such as poisonous gases has had an effect. The convention on the treatment of prisoners has achieved partial results.

A 4-Gyr shock age for a martian meteorite and implications for the cratering history of Mars
Article Abstract:
The shock-alteration age of the Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001) martian rock was evaluated through argon isotope dating. The shock age of the meteorite was determined at 4.0 plus or minus 0.1 billion years. It was deduced that the rock came from the cratered surface of southern Mars. The shock age also tallied with the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) of the Moon hence the conclusion that LHB may have occurred not only in Mars but also in the inner Solar System within 3.9 and 4.1 Gyr.
