NOAA maintains two operational geostationary weather satellites plus a spare in addition to its polar-orbiting fleet. One geostationary satellite covers the eastern part of the United States and surrounding waters (GOES-East) while another covers the western region (GOES-West). The spare is situated between them, ready to take over if one fails. Currently GOES-13 is GOES-East and GOES-15 is GOES-West. GOES-14 is the spare.

Since we last gathered in these halls one year ago, the international situation has undergone changes far greater than any of us could have imagined. We are now truly at a historic watershed. In the light of the perestroika and the "new thinking" that guides the foreign policy of the Soviet Union, democratization and the shift to market economies in Eastern Europe, and the advent of a new era in U.S.-Soviet relations, the Cold War is now a thing of the past. The transformation from discord and conflict to dialogue and cooperation that began in Europe has extended to other regions as well and now shows signs of spreading worldwide. The collapse of the Berlin Wall and German unification are symbolic of this quantum leap to freedom and cooperation. However, despite the laudable historic changes, the sudden shattering of peace in the Gulf Region with Iraq's illegal invasion of Kuwait is a reminder that the future of the international community remains uncertain and a demonstration that even this new international order is fraught with peril.

The structural differences in the Japanese and U.S. processes of technology creation and dissemination are profound, with major potential longterm implications for the destinies of both societies if not altered. We propose: an expanded Japanese commitment to basic research including joint U.S.-Japan funding of basic science efforts; joint feasibility studies on technical subjects of major long-term economic importance to both nations and to the world (such as commercialization of high-temperature superconductivity [HTS], the environment, alternate energy systems, long-distance, high-speed rail and air transport, space exploration, and innovations in the basic sciences such as the supercollider); and measures to accelerate two-way technology transfer through market forces, expanded fellowship and internship opportunities, and Japanese-language study for U.S. scientists in Japan.

 

 Institutional Initiatives for Global Partnership


 The global institutional framework for economic and security relations is a patchwork of enormous complexity. However desirable a universal framework may be, it does not easily meet the complexities of our turbulent transitional international environment. For various purposes, multilateral, regional, and bilateral institutions will continue to exist. The United States and Japan should enhance their partnership at all three levels.


 1. Global Institutions. An important set of issues will be the future roles of the United States and Japan within the United Nations. There is strong public support in Japan for the United Nations. Japanese support potentially provides for a significantly expanded role for that organization and for a quantum leap in the resources devoted by Japan to international peace and security under the UN umbrella. The significance of the United Nations lies in its provision of the framework for building international consensus in view of the universality of its membership. We should not, however, overestimate the role the United Nations can play. This is a prime reason why it is so important to strengthen the Group of Seven (G-7) summit framework.

The revolution has been long in the making. It goes back to the 1940's and the pioneering gravity work by George Woollard, the identification of the Greenleaf anomaly by Paul Lyons, and the work of a host of others. However, like quantized energy change, the results of these efforts seem to leap forward after periods of relative quiescence. I believe that we are in a period of one of these quantized jumps today and that we have learned more about the geology of Kansas in the past few years than we learned in the previous 30 years. For too long, we have been influenced too much by stratigraphers who stressed dull, broad, gentle, epeirogenic uplifts and downwarps to account for thick sedimentary sequences and cyclicity of beds. The flat, dull, uninteresting geology of Kansas has once more become exciting as geophysicists have changed our perception of truth. Gary Zukav (1980) put it well in his The Dancing Wu Li Masters when he noted that "Whether or not something is true is not a matter of how closely it corresponds to absolute truth, but of how consistent it is with our experience." Incidentally, despite its title, Zukav's book is about quantum mechanics.

In a different area, Yarger (1983) has noted that a marked magnetic low, trending in an east-west direction across the middle of Kansas, seemingly separates a geophysically subdued zone to the south from a more "busy" zone to the north. The work of Bickford et al. (1981) shows a similar boundary between younger rhyolite-granite terrain to the south and an older, more heterogeneous terrain to the north. Speculation is that this boundary represents a continental margin suture.

The project's GE Renewable Energy Haliade-X turbines will be placed in an east-west orientation, with all having a minimum spacing of 1.85km (1 nautical mile) between them consistent with US Coast Guard recommendations. e24fc04721
