Between August and December 2005, we conducted 76 oblique-incidence scattering experiments using the SRI International 46-m antenna in the Stanford foothills to illuminate Mars for 20-min periods with an unmodulated, 75-cm λ, circularly polarized wave.

Applicability of Information Theory to the Quantification of Responses to Anthropogenic Noise By Southeast Alaskan Humpback Whales
We assess the effectiveness of applying information theory to the characterization and quantification of the affects of anthropogenic vessel noise on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) vocal behavior in and around Glacier Bay, Alaska.
Asymmetry of Plasma Fluxes at Mars. Aspera-3 Observations and Hybrid Simulations
The results of the observations are compared to simulations based on a 3D hybrid model with several ion species.
Comparison of Tropospheric NO2 from in Situ Aircraft Measurements with Near-Real-Time and Standard Product Data from OMI
We present an analysis of in situ NO2 measurements from aircraft experiments between summer 2004 and spring 2006. The data are from the INTEX-A, PAVE, and INTEX-B campaigns and constitute the most comprehensive set of tropospheric NO2 profiles to date.
Operation of a Low-Voltage High-Transconductance Field Emitter Array TWT
L-3 Communications continues development and testing of a moderate power helix TWT incorporating a new low-voltage high-transconductance field emitter array cold cathode developed by SRI International.
Using PFISR Measurements and Gravity Wave Dissipative Theory to Determine the Neutral, Background Thermospheric Winds
Understanding the propagation and dissipation of an atmospheric gravity wave (GW) in the thermosphere requires an accurate dissipative GW dispersion relation, the GW’s horizontal wavelength and period, and the background neutral winds and temperatures
Using Spectral Characteristics to Interpret Auroral Imaging in the 731.9 Nm O+ Line
Simultaneous observations were made of dynamic aurora during substorm activity on 26 January 2006 with three high spatial and temporal resolution instruments: the ASK (Auroral Structure and Kinetics) instrument, SIF (Spectrographic Imaging Facility) and ESR (EISCAT Svalbard Radar), all located on Svalbard (78° N, 16.2° E).
Validation of OMI Tropospheric NO2 Column Data Using MAX-DOAS Measurements Deep Inside the North China Plain in June 2006: Mount Tai Experiment 2006
We performed observations of the tropospheric NO2 column using the ground-based Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy technique in the North China Plain.
Cross Sections and Reaction Rates for Comparative Planetary Aeronomy
In this chapter we describe the current knowledge of a selection of collision processes and chemical reactions of importance to planetary aeronomy.
