Time Dependent Response Of Equatorial Ionospheric Electric Fieldsto Magnetospheric Disturbances, Bela G. Fejer, L. Scherliess Apr 1995

Time Dependent Response Of Equatorial Ionospheric Electric Fieldsto Magnetospheric Disturbances, Bela G. Fejer, L. Scherliess

Bela G. Fejer

We use extensive radar measurements of F region vertical plasma drifts and auroral electrojet indices to determine the storm time dependence of equatorial zonal electric fields. These disturbance drifts result from the prompt penetration of high latitude electric fields and from the dynamo action of storm time winds which produce largest perturbations a few hours after the onset of magnetic activity. The signatures of the equatorial disturbance electric fields change significantly depending on the relative contributions of these two components. The prompt electric field responses, with lifetimes of about one hour, are in excellent agreement with results from global convection …


Inorganic Nitrogen Determined By Laboratory And Field Extractions Of Two Forest Soils, H. Van Miegroet Jan 1995

Inorganic Nitrogen Determined By Laboratory And Field Extractions Of Two Forest Soils, H. Van Miegroet

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

To assess the effect of a delay in soil processing on inorganic N levels in N-rich soils, field and laboratory extractions were compared at two forested sites with high N mineralization and nitrification potential. At eight sampling dates in 1989 and 1990, five mineral soil cores per site were taken between 0- and 10-cm depth and transported on ice to the laboratory for KCl extraction and NH4-N and NO3-N analysis. At three sampling dates in 1990, soil extractions were performed in the field immediately following sampling, and inorganic N concentrations were compared between extractions. Nitrate-N increased four- to sevenfold (net …


Bta Oil Producers Bravo Field Development, Green River Resource Area, Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management Jan 1995

Bta Oil Producers Bravo Field Development, Green River Resource Area, Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

This Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to evaluate and disclose potential environmental impacts associated with the Bravo field development proposed by BTA Oil Producers and its partners (BTA) in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. BTA has tested and confirmed the existence of substantial quantities of natural gas on Federal oil and gas leases within its Bravo Unit and on adjacent lands (hereafter referred to as the "development area"). BTA would like to proceed with development of its existing oil and gas leases and other developments necessary to serve future oil and gas production. BTA would be assisted in this effort by contractors …
