Experiments On The Attenuation Of Third Sound In Saturated Superfluid Helium Films, Robert Hallock, K. L. Telschow, R. K. Galkiewicz

Robert Hallock

Upper limits of the attenuation of third sound in saturated superfluid 4He films have been measured in three separate experiments. Our observations at frequencies from 0.1 to 200 Hz indicate that the attenuation in these thick films is substantially lower than would be inferred from the only previous experiment done on saturated films. We observe the third-sound velocity to have the temperature dependence predicted by Bergman.

Long-term preCIpitation records from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and western Colorado were obtained and carefully screened for missing data and station relocations. Each record was divided into five seasonal series and tested for homogeneity. Most of theunhomogeneous records were for the winter season, whereas there were fewest for summer and late summer seasons. Those seasonal records considered to be homogeneous were then used to examine the spatial variation of precipitation anomalies decade by decade (1891-1900, 1901-1910, etc.) from 1941-70 averages. Areas of statistically significant anomalies were identified. Generally, precipitation was high in the 1890's, 1910's and/or 1920's, 1940's and 1960's. …
