The Transportation Vibration-Temperature Test is used to check the safety and operability of the fuze, since fuzes encounter a variety of vibration and temperature environments during logistic (land, sea and air) transportation conditions... 

Sea-to-air fluxes of major ions are caused by bubble bursting and breaking waves at the sea surface. These processes eject sea-salts into the atmosphere, the majority of which immediately fall back into the sea. Some of these salts are, however, transported over long distances in the atmosphere and contribute to the salts in riverwater (see Section 5.3). These airborne sea-salts are believed to have the same relative ionic composition as seawater and their flux out of the oceans is estimated by measuring the atmospheric deposition rates on the continents. In terms of global budgets, airborne sea-salts are an important removal process only for Na+ and Cl" from seawater removal of other major ions by this route is trivial. 

The high strength-to-weight ratio, microwave transparency, and corrosion resistance of the laminates have led to their use in air transport applications as in aircraft radomes, ducting, spinners, and other parts. Land, sea, and air transport applications account for nearly half the polyester resin produced. 

Article 84(2) stipulates that the Council may, acting by a qualified majority, decide whether, to what extent and by what procedure appropriate provisions may be laid down for sea and air transport. 

The transportation of chemicals is dierefore highly regulated. In addition to general transport legislation numerous statutory provisions govern die carriage of hazardous substances by air, road, rail and sea. These tend to address die need for ... 

Aerosol production and transport over the oceans are of interest in studies concerning cloud physics, air pollution, atmospheric optics, and air-sea interactions. However, the contribution of sea spray droplets to the transfer of moisture and latent heat from the sea to the atmosphere is not well known. In an effort to investigate these phenomena, Edson et al.[12l used an interactive Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to simulate the generation, turbulent transport and evaporation of droplets. The k-e turbulence closure model was incorporated in the Eulerian-Lagrangian model to accurately simulate... 

The list of approved equipment contains two sample transport containers designed for the transport of samples for off-site analysis. The two containers are labelled as Targe- and small sample transport kits (Pictures 3 and 4) and both are designed to fulfill the requirements for air transport [IATA (International Air Transport Association) provision A106] (6) and international standards for road, railway, and sea transport. The large container has been designed and tested by the United States and the small container by the United Kingdom. Therefore, the two containers are frequently referred to as US and UK containers. 

Sample transport kits are designed to fulfil the requirements for air transport of OPCW samples for off-site analysis under International Air Transport Association (IATA) provision 106 and international standards for road, railway, and sea transport. 

WATOX-82, -83, and -84 sampled air in the marine boundary layer. These sea-level measurements gave no information about upper-air transport. To overcome this deficiency, the fourth through the seventh Intensives incorporated data collected onboard two NOAA research aircraft, the NOAA WP-3D and the NOAA KingAir. (See Table III for the specific species measured.) Both aircraft carried sampling and analytical equipment designed to determine the vertical and horizontal chemical structure of the atmosphere. 

Tin and lead have been known since ancient times. Cassiterite, Sn02, was mined in Britain and transported by sea to the Mediterranean area where copper was available. After reducing the Sn02 with charcoal to produce tin, the tin was alloyed with copper to make bronze as early as about 2500 BC. Consequently, tools and weapons made of bronze figured prominently in the period known as the Bronze Age (about 2500 to 1500 BC). At an early time, lead was found as native lead or as galena, PbS, that could be converted to the oxide by roasting the sulfide in air followed by reduction with carbon. As a result, tin and lead are among the elements known for many centuries. Of course, the reason that the metals Sn, Cu, Au,... 

There are also a number of guidelines which provide the basis for classification, packaging, labelling and safe transportation by sea to the point of final destraction. One is the International Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. Similar legislation exists for road, rail and air transportation. 

As commercial reprocessing increases, plutonium will be increasingly transported worldwide on virtually all the main transportation systems—road, rail, sea, and air. Plutonium is most vulnerable to theft while it is being transported.
