Crystal motion measurement by means of satellite techniques

A system for monitoring precursory crustal motions is presented. It involves a set of automated corner reflector stations tracked by means of a laser operating in the Geopause satellite. It is possible to range some three times during every Geopause pass to each of the sites in such an ensemble, weather permitting. One centimeter range data gathered during a quarter of a year can yield position component accuracies of the order of a couple of centimeters. A laser beam of a tenth of a milliradian in diameter would, illuminate a single station in such an array. A broader beam would generate reflections from several sites, yielding overlapping data. A chain or pattern of such overlapping regions can strengthen the solution for site positions. Pressure, temperature and humidity gauges can provide refraction correction data. Turnaround transponders interrogated by the Geopause radio tracking system can furnish corresponding data in excessively cloudy regions

Ocean tides and quasi-stationary departures from the marine geoid investigation

The detection of tides and/or currents through the analysis of data generated in connection with the Ocean Geoid Determination Investigation is presented. A discussion of the detailed objectives and approach are included

Ocean gravity and geoid determination

Gravity anomalies have been recovered in the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean regions. Comparisons of 63 2 deg x 2 deg mean free air gravity anomalies recovered in the North Atlantic area and 24 5 deg x 5 deg mean free air gravity anomalies in the Indian Ocean area with surface gravimetric measurements have shown agreement to + or - 8 mgals for both solutions. Geoids derived from the altimeter solutions are consistent with altimetric sea surface height data to within the precision of the data, about + or - 2 meters

Forget Me, Forget Me Not: Reconciling Two Different Paradigms of the Right to Be Forgotten

In May of 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union handed down its decision in the case of Google Spain SL v. Agencia Española de Protección de Datos. This landmark decision ignited a firestorm of debate over the right to be forgotten : the right of users to withdraw information about themselves available on the internet. With concerns about the restriction of the freedom of expression on the internet, many commentators have criticized the decision as unworkable and dangerous. Others have recognized continuity in the development of privacy and data protection jurisprudence within the European courts. Meanwhile in Brussels, the European Union (EU) has been crafting a new data protection regulation, which will apply to its twenty-eight Member States. This new regulation will more than likely extend the concept of some form of the right to be forgotten, or more precisely, a right to erasure of material on the internet. This paper will explore the basis and impact of the Google Spain decision. Beginning with an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of the right to be forgotten in Europe, the paper will attempt to reconcile the conceptualization of this privacy right with the privacy framework existing in the United States. It will then turn to proposals for legislation from both sides of the pond to assess what they will and will not potentially achieve. The paper will consider the European Union rules in light of the current framework and the proposed reforms, comparing European and American provisions, specifically California Law and proposals pending before the United States Congress. Are these measures the silver bullet that privacy advocates hope for, or will they open a Pandora\u27s box of excessive Internet censorship that will cause the destruction of history? Are the two theoretical frameworks compatible, signalling a convergence ofpolicies towards a more privacy orientedlegal structure? To this end, the practical application of the proposed rules, their effectiveness, and their efficacy will be examined

The Presidential Election of 1812

A thesis presented to the faculty of the School of Social Sciences at Morehead State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History by Steven E. Siry on August 18, 198

Satellite altitude determination uncertainties

Satellite altitude determination uncertainties will be discussed from the standpoint of the GEOS-C satellite, from the longer range viewpoint afforded by the Geopause concept. Data are focused on methods for short-arc tracking which are essentially geometric in nature. One uses combinations of lasers and collocated cameras. The other method relies only on lasers, using three or more to obtain the position fix. Two typical locales are looked at, the Caribbean area, and a region associated with tracking sites at Goddard, Bermuda and Canada which encompasses a portion of the Gulf Stream in which meanders develop

A systems plan for an earth and ocean dynamics satellite applications program

A system for investigating phenomena associated with the earth's dynamical and crustal motions, and the sea surface is described. The proposed observing systems include the following facilities: (1) A network of fundamental stations, whose locations and motions, including polar, variations in the earth's rotational rate, and crustal motions, are determined by very long baseline interferometry, relative to the basic reference system of radio stars. The sites are all NASA Goddard stations with the exception of Kashima, Japan, a facility which has participated extensively in the ATS program. (2) A system of Geopause spacecraft in nearly circular polar orbits, normal to the ecliptic at a distance of about five earth radii with a period on the order of two thirds of a day
