The World Data Center System ..... 189 Introduction In order to determine the extent of historical data publications at the World Data Center-A for Solid Earth Geophysics, a digital inventory was begun in 1992. The main emphasis of the project was the inventory of data-related reports published prior to 1972. The intent was to aid in the retrospective modeling of the main magnetic field. Therefore, publications concerning crustal anomalies and observatory magnetograms were not targeted for this project. The results of this effort are contained in a digital bibliographic data base which is partially reproduced in this report. Many of the reports abstracted here were printed over a century ago and are in a severe state of deterioration. In order to preserve the content of these reports, WDC-A is digitally imaging (scanning) these older books. The digital images of the books are being written to 3480 archive tape in PCX format. In this digital format, these books are now more readily available to researchers studying the historic main magnetic field. The main bibliography is organized alphabetically by author. The title of the work, date and place of publication, publisher, and a short description of the work are shown whenever available. For those reports written in a language other than English, an attempt has been made to translate the title. The original title follows in parentheses. However, the authors of this report claim no fluency in any language other than English, and welcome corrections to the translated titles. In no instance has an effort been made by WDC-A to translate the original publications. Following the bibliography, there are four appendices which index the entries in several ways. In Appendix 1 the reports are sorted by date, and the author and title are shown to allow the reader to refer to the main bibliography for more information. Appendix I1 is indexed by descriptive word, Appendix 111 by seismic region, and Appendix IV by geographic region. For each of these indices, a heading is followed by one or several citation numbers referring the reader to the main bibliography. The bibliography printed here is maintained as a digital bibliographic data base. Researchers interested in obtaining a digital copy of the entire data base with a read-only copy of the data base management system should contact WDC-A. The read-only copy of the data base will allow the user full search and retrieve capabilities, but will not allow changes nor additions to be made to the data base. Researchers interested in studying any of the reports contained in this bibliography should contact WDC-A. Most of the older reports have been digitally imaged and are available on 3480 tape. Reports published since 1947 may be subject to copyright and no further reproduction is authorized by WDC-A. WDC-A is interested in receiving additional publications containing observational main field 1 survey and secular change data for years prior to 1957. We also welcome visiting scientists and can make some resources available for researchers needing access to these or other data at the World Data Center.

  • Seabirds of Human Settlements in Antarctica: a Case Study of the Mirny Station
    CZECH POLAR REPORTS 11 (1): 98-113, 2021 Seabirds of human settlements in Antarctica: A case study of the Mirny Station Sergey Golubev Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borok, Nekouzskii raion, Yaroslavl oblast, 152742, Russia Abstract Antarctica is free of urbanisation, however, 40 year-round and 32 seasonal Antarctic stations operate there. The effects of such human settlements on Antarctic wildlife are insufficiently studied. The main aim of this study was to determine the organization of the bird population of the Mirny Station. The birds were observed on the coast of the Davis Sea in the Mirny (East Antarctica) from January 8, 2012 to January 7, 2013 and from January 9, 2015 to January 9, 2016. The observations were carried out mainly on the Radio and Komsomolsky nunataks (an area of about 0.5 km²). The duration of observations varied from 1 to 8 hours per day. From 1956 to 2016, 13 non-breeding bird species (orders Sphenisciformes, Procellariiformes, Charadriiformes) were recorded in the Mirny. The South polar skuas (Catharacta maccormicki) and Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) form the basis of the bird population. South polar skuas are most frequently recorded at the station. Less common are Brown skuas (Catharacta antarctica lonnbergi) and Adélie penguins. Adélie penguins, Wilson's storm petrels (Oceanites oceanicus), South polar and Brown skuas are seasonal residents, the other species are visitors. Adélie penguins, Emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri), Macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica), Wilson's storm petrels, South polar and Brown skuas interacted with the station environment, using it for com- fortable behavior, feeding, molting, shelter from bad weather conditions, and possible breeding.

  • Chapter 2 Tests of Magnetometer/Sun-Sensor Orbit Determination Using Flight Data*
    Chapter 2 Tests of Magnetometer/Sun-Sensor Orbit Determination Using Flight Data* 2.1 Introduction Orbit determination is an old topic in celestial mechanics and is an essential part of satellite navigation. Traditional ground-based tracking methods that use range and range-rate measurements can provide an orbit accuracy as good as a few centimeters1. Autonomous orbit determination using only onboard measurements can be a requirement of military satellites in order to guarantee independence from ground facilities2. The rapid increase in the number of satellites also increases the need for autonomous navigation because of bottlenecks in ground tracking facilities3. A filter that uses magnetometer measurements provides one possible means of doing autonomous orbit determination. This idea was first introduced by Psiaki and Martel4 and has been tested by a number of researchers since then3,5-9. Magnetometers fly on most spacecraft (S/C) for attitude determination and control purposes. Therefore, successful autonomous orbit determination using magnetometer measurements can make the integration of attitude and orbit determination possible and lead to reduced mission costs. Although magnetometer-based autonomous orbit determination is unlikely to have better accuracy than ground-based tracking, a magnetometer-based system could be applied to a mission that does not need the accuracy of ground-station tracking. The Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission * This chapter is from the published paper: Hee Jung and Mark L. Psiaki, “Tests of Magnetometer/Sun-Sensor Orbit Determination Using Flight Data,” Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, Volume 25, Number 3, pp. 582-590. [© 2002.

  • Four Centuries of Geomagnetic Secular Variation from Historical Records

Themodel, called gufm1,is based on amassive newcompilation of historical observations of the magnetic ­eld. The greater part of the newdataset originates from unpublished observations taken by mariners engaged in merchant and naval shipping. Considerable attention is given to both correction of data for possible mislocation (originating from poor knowledge of longitude) and to proper allocation of error in the data. Weadopt astochastic model for uncorrected positional errors that properly accounts for the nature of the noise process based on aBrownian motion model. Thevariability of navigational errors as afunction of the duration of the voyages that wehave analysed isconsistent with this model. For the period before 1800, more than 83 000 individual observations of magnetic declination wererecorded at more than 64 000 locations; more than 8000 new observations are for the 17th century alone. Thetime-dependent ­eld model that weconstruct from the dataset is parametrized spatially in terms of spherical harmonics and temporally in B-splines, using atotal of 36 512 parameters. Themodel has improved the resolution of the core ­eld, and represents the longest continuous model of the ­eld available. However, full exploitation of the database may demand anew modelling methodology.

  • Lachlan Macquarie in Russia1
    Aleksandr Massov Lachlan Macquarie in Russia1 Despite the abundance of works in Australian and British historiography devoted to the life and career of Lachlan Macquarie, there is as yet no specialist study of the ‘Russian chapter’ in his biography: his journey through Russia from Astrakhan to St Petersburg in 1807.2 At the same time, the story of the future governor’s sojourn in Russia is of interest not only for the light it casts on this little-known phase of his life; there is a sense in which it had a significant impact on the relationship between Britain’s Australian colonies and the Russian Empire in the first years of contact between the two countries. As Macquarie’s Australian biographer Robin Walsh has argued,3 the events which befell him in 1807 require closer investigation. Macquarie, at that time a 45-year-old lieutenant in the British army, undertook his Russian journey on his way home from India. He was in some haste to take up a new appointment, and also to marry his fiancée Elizabeth Campbell as soon as possible. Accompanying him were his servant George Jarvis and two fellow-officers, George William Brande, a lieutenant, and William Thomas of the Medical Corps.4 The journey, it should be said, took place at a time of international crisis: Napoleon was continuing his triumphant advance over the European continent, while the alliance of his enemies (Britain, Prussia, Russia and Sweden) sustained defeat after defeat. In October 1806 the Prussian army had been virtually annihilated at Jena and Auerstadt, while his victory over the Russians at Friedland in June 1807 had allowed Bonaparte to occupy East Prussia 1 This article was completed when the author held the post of Visiting Scholar in the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland under the Australian Academy of the Humanities Visiting Scholar Programme.
