Abstract This article deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the 17th to the 20th century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set

Abstract Since the pioneering paper by Nastrom and Gage on aircraft-derived power spectra, significant progress has been made in understanding the wavenumber distribution of energy in Earth’s atmosphere and its implications for the intrinsic limits of weather forecasting. Improvements in tropical cyclone intensity predictions have lagged those of global weather forecasting, and limited intrinsic predictability may be partially responsible. In this study, we construct power spectra from aircraft data of over 1200 missions carried out by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Since the launch of TRMM in late 1997, standardized instantaneous and monthly rainfall products are routinely generated using quality-controlled ground-based radar data adjusted to the gauge accumulations from four primary sites. As part of the NASA TRMM GV program, effort is being made to evaluate these GV products. This paper describes the product evaluation effort for the Melbourne, Florida, site.

The assessment of system performance is critical for both planning and realtime operational use. The DMP2 can be used for the assessment of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and vessels as platforms for the application of dispersants, allowing the user to compare and optimize the performance of each system.

New models of Earth’s static and time-variable gravity field will be available every month as one of the science products from GRACE. Here we present an alternative method to estimate the gravity field efficiently using the in situ satellite-to-satellite observations at the altitude and show results on static as well as temporal gravity field recovery.

Abstract. Net primary production of the oceans contributes approximately half of the total global net primary production, and long-term observational records are required to assess any climate-driven changes. The Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) has proven to be robust whilst also being one of the longest records of ocean colour. However, to date, only one primary production algorithm has been applied to this data product, with other algorithms typically applied to single-sensor missions. The data product presented here addresses this issue by applying five algorithms to the OC-
