The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is the dream of a consortium of universities, foundations, and national observatories in the United States, Canada, China, India, and Japan.
This study is focused in the evolution of NO, NO2, SO2, O3 and PM10 concentrations, from 2000 to 2012, at urban, suburban and regional observatories in the Balearic Islands Spainn), an insular region in the Western Mediterranean.
Synchrotron IR microscopy provides a useful adjunct to molecular biological methods and underground observatories in the ongoing assessment of the role of root soil microbe communication.
In our analysis, we have utilized datasets from 18 permanent and temporary observatories in the Indo-Russian region to get a clear picture of the NEJ and CEJ and their latitudinal extent.
The collection of opinion and assessments of actors engaged with the CRU and Observatory in every region was made possible through several research instruments prepared by the evaluation team, and included questionnaires, direct observations and focus groups.
Next year, Paranal and the other observatories in the Atacama will be overshadowed by the most ambitious radio telescope the world has ever seen – the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
The telescopes are robotic (meaning they can be controlled remotely), and are located at two private observatories in the US and one in Australia.
Meetings with key stakeholders in the regions were arranged by the local staff of the CRUs and the Observatories, in consultation with the evaluators' team.
Digital fluxgate data with a 1-min resolution from the World Data Center of Geomagnetism, Kyoto and from a chain of observatories in the Indian longitude zone were also used.
Follow-up observations were conducted at observatories at the W.M. Keck Observatory's Keck 1 telescope in Hawaii; the Shane and Hale telescopes in California; the Harlan J. Smith and Hobby-Eberly telescopes in Texas; telescopes at the WIYN (including MMT) and Whipple observatories in Arizona; and the Nordic Optical Telescope in the Canary Islands.
