Envisat and ERS-2 reveal hidden side of Hurricane Rita

...scatterometer. This instrument works by firing a trio of high-frequency radar beams down to the ocean, then analysing the pattern of backscatter reflected up again. Wind-driven ripples on the ocean surface modify the radar backscatter, and as the energy in these ripples increases with wind velocity, so ...

Trio of plant genes prevent 'too many mouths'

...tempers the production of stomata while studying a trio of genes that code for signaling receptors required for normal plant height. The scientists were working on a basic understanding of plant growth as part of U.S. Department of Energy and Japanese Science and Technology Agency-funded work about growi...
