Climate and Environmental Database Systems
Climate and Environmental Database Systems contains the papers presented at the Second International Workshop on Climate and Environmental Database Systems, held November 21-23, 1995, in Hamburg, Germany. Climate and environmental data may be separated into two classes, large amounts of well structured data and smaller amounts of less structured data. The large amounts are produced by numerical climate models and by satellites, handling data in the order of magnitude of 100 Tbytes for the climate modelling sites and 1000 Tbytes for the recording and processing of satellite data. Smaller amounts of poorly structured data are the environmental data, which come mainly from observations and measurements. Present-day problems in data management are connected with a variety of data types. Climate and Environmental Database Systems addresses the state of the art, practical experience, and future perspectives for climate and environmental database systems, and may be used as a text for a graduate level course on the subject or as a reference for researchers or practitioners in industry.

Ocean, Ice, and Atmosphere
In this latest oceanology volume of the Antarctic Research Series, polar scientists describe and model air-sea and ice-ocean interactions, the formation and chemistry of deep and bottom waters, regional circulations, tidal heights and currents, ocean bathymetry, interannual variability and the Antarctic Slope Front.
Quarks and Letters
Fragen und Antworten der Hirnforschung, Quantenmechanik oder Evolutionstheorie gehen in Romane ein, und Physiker oder Biologen verwenden rhetorische Sprachbilder, um ihre Erkenntnisse zu vermitteln oder sogar erst zu generieren. Dass literarische und wissenschaftliche Interessen sich nicht nur überschneiden, sondern im Kern eins sind, das war zu Keplers, Lichtenbergs oder Goethes Zeiten noch selbstverständlich. Sie wieder allgemein so sichtbar zu machen, wie sie es für zahlreiche Autoren der Gegenwartsliteratur – etwa Richard Powers, Thomas Lehr oder Raoul Schrott – stets geblieben ist, daran arbeiten in einer ungewöhnlichen Kooperation die Erlanger Departments für Physik und für Germanistik im Forschungszentrum ELINAS. Die Beiträge der Reihe widmen sich einerseits naturwissenschaftlichen Themen in literarischen Texten – etwa in Romanen des Amerikaners Richard Powers, der Chinesin Can Hue oder des Deutschen Raoul Schrott. Sie beleuchten andererseits aber auch, welche Rolle Ästhetik in Literatur und Naturwissenschaften spielt.

Antarctic Sea Ice
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 74. In a 1971 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report that reviewed polar contrasts in sea ice, Lyn Lewis and Willy Weeks made the following observation: "People who study sea ice in the Arctic Basin are commonly asked if they have ever studied ice in Antarctica, and they answer 'why bother, it's the same old stuff." Noting this was "fortunately true to a considerable extent," they added "It is clear that future work will depend critically on the logistics facilities available to allow surface observations beyond the fast ice edge at all seasons of the year. Of almost equal importance will ...
