Best Maps Of Ocean Flows Created By ESA’s GOCE

November 27, 2014 By June Harris

As per the Discovery News, ESA’s Gravity and Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite reemerged the air in 2013 following four years and eight months in orbit, giving a huge amount of information to researchers that permits them to make unfathomably exact maps of worldwide sea flows.

During the UN conference in Paris this week, researchers unveiled that the satellite’s exact estimations of the Earth’s gravity enabled for an imitation of the seas at rest, permitting scientists to watch how gravity interacts with the sea flows. Typically, this is hard to do, as forces like wind follow up on the seas too, skewing the results.

GOCE was the first of ESA’s Living Planet Program satellites that were made to map the Earth’s gravity field in phenomenal aspect utilizing instrumentation that incorporates a profoundly responsive gravity gradiometers that measures gradients along the three orthogonal axis.

These new simulations will permit researchers to better comprehend the Earth’s atmosphere, as seas are in charge of transporting 30% of the Earth’s heat. The circulation of sea waters that assumes a tremendous part in the regulation of atmospheric temperatures, as flows move heat from low to high latitudes in the water, while chilled water moves from high latitude to the equator. One of the illustrations of this is the Gulf Stream, which takes warm surface waters to the Gulf of Mexico, creating coastal waters in Europe to be marginally hotter than waters at the same latitude in the North Pacific.

Gravity and Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite had the capacity make the exact models by watching little changes in the Earth’s gravitational heave, which is diverse, relying upon the area because of the uneven dissemination of mass over the whole planet. Marie-Helene Rio from the Italian National Research Council’s Institute of Atmosphere Sciences and Climate told the BBC that GOCE has “made an achievement for the estimation of sea flows.”

Fragment of Amelia Earhart Plane Might Have Been Identified

October 30, 2014 By Cliff Jenkins Scott

AMELIA-EARHART-PLANE-FRAGMENT

Recently, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) researchers revealed that a piece of Amelia Erhart’s misplaced aircraft has been identified in Nikumaroro, an island in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati. However, this is for the first time that a relic from the debris has been directly associated with Earhart’s last expedition, in which it was trying to revolve the Earth at the equator, and sheds new light on the 77-year-old aviation mystery.

A 19-inch-wide by 23-inch-long piece was discovered by the researchers in 1991 and is strongly believed to be a metal piece installed on the window of Earhart’s Lockheed Electra aircraft during her eight-day stay in Miami that was its 4th stop on the journey. A photograph taken on 1st July, 1937 on TIGHAR’s site from The Miami Herald, shows the aircraft intact with the metal patch.

After identifying the patch in the photograph, researchers compared it with the Lockheed Electra aircraft at Wichita Air Services in Newton, Kansas, Discovery News said. It matched the plans and the Electra’s structure. However, International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery said, the patch was a field modification whose “complex fingerprint of dimensions, proportions, materials and rivet patterns was as unique to Earhart’s Electra as a fingerprint is to an individual.” The sheet’s purpose was to take in “celestial observations” from thousands of feet in the sky.

The plane was evidently dematerialized on 2nd July 1937, after which the pilot has prompted a wide range of conspiracy theories, including the rumor that Earhart assumed a new identity on a remote island in the Pacific. The Earhart and its navigator Fred Noonan didn’t actually crash into the Pacific Ocean, Discovery News said. The pair had to to make a forced landing on the Nikumaroro’s coral reef after running out of fuel roughly 350 miles from the Howland Island, TIGHAR suggests.

TIGHAR has conducted a series of expeditions to Nikumaroro, where researchers have discovered several artifacts they believe may be linked to Earhart: a jar of anti-freckle cream, a woman’s compact, and buttons and a zipper from a flight jacket. Ric Gillespie, executive director of TIGHAR, in an interview with Discovery News, “Earhart sent radio distress calls for at least five nights before the Electra was washed into the ocean by rising tides and surf.”

The British research team took the photograph in October 1937; only three months after Earhart disappeared depicted that the piece could very well be a part of a strange object jutting from the water on a close by reef. In 2013, the TIGHAR’s last expedition, sonar imagery spotted an object 600 feet off the base of an offshore cliff, where the organization believes the Electra drifted into the ocean. The “setback” was analyzed by a sonar data post-processor based in Honolulu, identifying it to be the right size and shape to be part of Earhart’s aircraft. The organization believes that the rest of the Electra’s remains are buried deep off the west end of the island.

The recent reports revealed that International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), which has long been investigating the Earhart’s disappearance, will make another journey to Nikumaroro in order to further investigate the setback using remotely operated vehicle technology. The organization is currently seeking funds to make this journey happen, and to resolve the mysterious surroundings of Amelia Earhart’s early disappearance.
