Item Open Access Determination of maximum age from the probability distribution function of a growth parameter(Instituto Geofísico del Perú, 1990-04-17) Woodman Pollitt, Ronald Francisco; Balsley, B.B.; Mabres, A.The present notes are motivated by the problem of trying to determine the maximum age of trees which we have under study in the northern part of Perú. The final objective of the project is to decipher the occurrence of El Niños in the past, witch should have been registered in its growth rings.Item Open Access Report of MSG-6 on the scientific aspects of an international equatorial observatory (IEO)(Instituto Geofísico del Perú, 1983) Balsley, B.B.; Blamont, J.; Forbes, J.M.; Geller, M.A.; Hirota, I.; Vincent, R.A.; Woodman Pollitt, Ronald FranciscoMSG-6 has been set up to study this on the basis that there is need to have observatories very close to the equator so that we may understand equatorial dynamics much more precisely than we do now. Such observatories, which are equipped with MST radars, lidar and other facilities, should be constructed and operated th rough international cooperation. Specific requirements for the observation of equatorial middle atmosphere dynamics were discussed at the Workshop held 10-12 May 1982 at Estes Park, CO, USA, as will be shown in Section 2. MSG-6 has further worked on the problem, obtaining the opinions of each member as to the following questio ns: (1 ) locations of IEOs; (2) specification of the faciliti es at IEOs; and (3) finanical support on the construction and the maintenance of IEOs.The proposed locations for IEOs are, in alphabetical arder, Christmas Island, Galapagos Island, Kourous, Nauru and Tumbes (or Iquitos).
