Satellites are being used to detect global distributions of large areas of CO and O3 (12). 

Taken from W. S. Fyfe, Geochemistry, Oxford University Press, 1974, with some modifications and additions to incorporate later data. The detailed numbers are subject to various assumptions in the models of the global distribution of the various rock types within the crust, but they are broadly acceptable as an indication of elemental abundances. See also Table 1 in C. K. J0RGENSEN, Comments Astrophys. 17, 49-101 (1993). 

Marketing forecasts for batteries have been compiled from the Annual Reports published by several battery companies. Information based on the trade journals and investor s brochures, which surveyed and evaluated the present and future global distribution of battery types, was collected. Points of interest were the availability of batteries and their performance/cost ratios, but also geographical usage in connection with social considerations, such as per-...

It is notable that the velocity at a given current density is inversely proportional to concentration. If the global distribution of current is held uniform by ohmic resistance outside the boundary layer, the aggregate advances most rapidly where the solution is most depleted. 

The global distribution of DDT has been simulated in two experiments that differ only in the representation of suspended organic matter in the ocean allowing to assess its impact on LRTP of DDT. Both experiments attempted to make results more realistic regarding the suspended matter representation. The first experiment...

Lovelock and co-workers [228,229] determined methyl fluoride, methyl chloride, methyl bromide, methyl iodide, and carbon tetrachloride in the Atlantic Ocean. This shows a global distribution of these compounds. Murray and Riley [230,231] confirmed the presence of carbon tetrachloride, and also found low concentrations of chloroform and tri- and tetrachloroethylene in Atlantic surface waters.
