  • Station Sharing in Antarctica
    IP 94 Agenda Item: ATCM 7, ATCM 10, ATCM 11, ATCM 14, CEP 5, CEP 6b, CEP 9 Presented by: ASOC Original: English Station Sharing in Antarctica 1 IP 94 Station Sharing in Antarctica Information Paper Submitted by ASOC to the XXIX ATCM (CEP Agenda Items 5, 6 and 9, ATCM Agenda Items 7, 10, 11 and 14) I. Introduction and overview As of 2005 there were at least 45 permanent stations in the Antarctic being operated by 18 countries, of which 37 were used as year-round stations.i Although there are a few examples of states sharing scientific facilities (see Appendix 1), for the most part the practice of individual states building and operating their own facilities, under their own flags, persists. This seems to be rooted in the idea that in order to become a full Antarctic Treaty Consultative Party (ATCP), one has to build a station to show seriousness of scientific purpose, although formally the ATCPs have clarified that this is not the case. The scientific mission and international scientific cooperation is nominally at the heart of the ATS,ii and through SCAR the region has a long-established scientific coordination body. It therefore seems surprising that half a century after the adoption of this remarkable Antarctic regime, we still see no truly international stations. The ‘national sovereign approach’ continues to be the principal driver of new stations. Because new stations are likely to involve relatively large impacts in areas that most likely to be near pristine, ASOC submits that this approach should be changed. In considering environmental impact analyses of proposed new station construction, the Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP) presently does not have a mandate to take into account opportunities for sharing facilities (as an alternative that would reduce impacts).

For three austral summer seasons (2013-2016, each from December to February) aerosol particles arriving at the Belgian Antarctic research station Princess Elisabeth (PE), in Dronning Maud Land in East Antarctica were characterized. in terms 5 ofThis included number concentrations of total aerosol particles (NCN) and cloud condensation nuclei (NCCN), the particle number size distribution (PNSD), the aerosol particle hygroscopicity and the influence of the air mass origin on NCN and −3 −3 NCCN. In general NCN was found to range from 40 to 6700 cm with a median of 333 cm , while NCCN was found to cover a range between less than 10 and 1300 cm−3 for supersaturations (SS) between 0.1 and 0.7 %. It is shown that the aerosol is Aitken mode dominated and is , being characterized by a significant amount of freshly, small, and therefore likely secondarily

The call chart above will help you find a set of codes you need to make long-distance phone calls to friends, family and business partners around the world. Just find and click on the country you want to call. You will find instructions on how to call this country using your country code, as well as other useful information such as area codes, ISO codes, as well as the types of electrical outlets and phone connectors found in this part of the world. Making a phone call has never been easier with CountryCode.org. Wikimedia will list the article around the world, devoting the codes of countries - and appeals. Regions are painted with the first digit. Call country codes or country dial codes are prefixes of phone numbers to reach telephone subscribers on the networks of member countries or regions of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The codes are defined by ITU-T in the E.123 and E.164 standards. Prefixes allow for an international direct set (IDD) and are also called international subscriber recruitment codes (ISD). Country codes are an integral part of the international phone number plan and are only required when dialing a phone number to set up a call to another country. Country codes are accessed to a national phone number. According to the convention, international phone numbers are represented by prefixing the country's code with a plus sign ( ), which also indicates to the subscriber that local international call prefix must be first dialed.

  • Report for the IUGG National Committee, International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Geodetic Activities in Finland 2004
    Report for the IUGG National Committee, International Association of Geodesy (IAG) Geodetic activities in Finland 2004 Compiled by Markku Poutanen Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) 1. The permanent GPS network FinnRef The Finnish Geodetic Institute hosts the permanent GPS network FinnRef which consists of 13 permanent GPS stations. The network is the backbone of the Finnish realisation of the European-wide reference frame EUREF, referred as to EUREF-FIN. Four stations in the FinnRef network belong to the EUREF permanent GPS-network (EPN), and one station belongs to the network of the International GPS Service (IGS). Through these stations FinnRef creates a connection to the global reference frames and the stations are used for maintaining global reference frames and global geodetic studies. The data recorded in the EPS stations (Metsähovi, Vaasa, Joensuu, Sodankylä) are transferred automatically to the EPN data centre in Germany. The data are also transferred daily to the Onsala Space Research Station in Sweden for the BIFROST project. Data download from four Euref-stations were changed to hourly basis at the end of 2004. In 2005 the hourly data delivery is planned. The FinnRef is also used for local studies on crustal movements as well as a reference for local and national GPS measurements. Determination of land uplift, but also studies on periodic effects on data, as well as deformation studies due to loading effects have been made using the permanent network. The absolute gravity observations were made at three GPS stations, viz. in Metsähovi, Vaasa and Joensuu with FG5 gravimeter. The absolute gravity has been observed in Metsähovi more than 80 times since 1988.

  • Wilderness and Aesthetic Values of Antarctica
    Wilderness and Aesthetic Values of Antarctica Abstract Antarctica is the least inhabited region in the world and has therefore had the least influence from human activities and, unlike the majority of the Earth’s continents and oceans, can still be considered as mostly wilderness. As every visitor to Antarctica knows, its landscapes are exceptionally beautiful. It was the recognition of the importance of these characteristics that resulted in their protection being included in the Madrid Protocol. Both wilderness and aesthetic values can be impaired by human activities in a variety of ways with the severity varying from negligible to severe, according to the type Protocol on Environmental Protec tion to the Antarctic Trea ty - of activity and its duration, spatial extent and intensity. A map of infrastructure and major travel routes the "M adrid Protocol" in Antarctica will be the first step in visually representing where wilderness and aesthetic values Article 3[1] may be impacted. It is hoped that this will stimulate further discussion on how to describe, acknowledge, The protection of the Antarctic environment and dependent an d associated ecosystems and the intrinsic value of Antarctica, understand and further protect the wilderness and aesthetic values of Antarctica. including its wilderness and aesthetic values and its value as an area for the conduct of scientific research, in particular research essential to understanding the global environment, shall be fundamental considerations in the planning and condu ct of all activities
