    Notes: A 10 MHz focused ultrasonic transducer is used to excite capillary waves by placing its focus at the air-water interface and using a tone burst to excite the ultrasonic wave. The radiation pressure associated with the upward propagating ultrasonic pulse lifts the surface of the water which then relaxes by exciting a radially propagating capillary wave. An amplitude and phase measuring acoustic microscope operating at 10 MHz is used to detect the amplitude and slope of the capillary wave as it propagates over the focused transducer of the acoustic microscope. This arrangement allows us to make a noncontacting measurement of surface tension and surface viscosity which will be used for characterizing surface films, such as the marine microlayer.

    Notes: Abstract Solar flare X-rays, at energies less than 10 keV, are emitted by hot plasmas located in the corona. Three plasma cooling models are examined in detail. The cooling of the electrons by Coulomb collisions with ions at a lower temperature would require the observed material to occupy very large volumes. Cooling could take place by conduction or by radiation and observations are proposed which would allow the dominant cooling mechanism to be established.

    Notes: Abstract According to Parker's earlier articles in this journal the photospheric temperature is lower in sunspots than elsewhere because of increased outflow of mechanical energy, rather than inhibited inflow from the convective zone. In this case the atmosphere above the spot group receives an excess supply of energy that must equal the deficiency in radiative power output of the spot group compared with the normal photosphere. The extra power supplied to the atmosphere was then assumed to be lost by radiation. On 26 November 1973 the active region McMath 12628 was studied with sufficient precision to test for this equality. It is shown that the atmosphere did not radiate and almost certainly did not receive, more than a very small part of the ‘missing flux’ of the spot group. This result is an important constraint on the plausible theories of sunspot formation.

    Notes: Abstract The extent to which the early phases of solar-flare development can be accounted for by a simple high-temperature chromospheric explosion model is investigated without involving a particular energy source. A model is developed in which it is shown that a point explosion in the lower chromosphere can be treated as a virtually instantaneous release of energy throughout a volume of radius R ≈ 100 km, which subsequently expands as a classical hydrodynamic blast wave in which R~ t α (α 〈 2/3). This model is in substantial agreement with areal growth-rate observations of disk flares. An explanation for the fact that limb-flare observations can imply α 〉 2/3 is suggested by considering the effects of the large atmospheric density gradient in the lower chromosphere on an upward travelling shock wave.
