Abstract:The past three years evidence vigorous activity in the areas of interest to Commission 2, especially those concerned with planetary atmospheres, rough surfaces, effects of turbulence, and the general applicability of millimeter waves for scientific study and for communications. If any particular study were to be designated outstanding, it might be the investigation of clear‐air structure by microwave radar, but meaningful advances have been made in all of the areas discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
