Determination of coefficient of storage by use of gravity measurements.
… aquifer by correlating change in gravitational field intensity with change in groundwater storage. In theory, this purpose may be accomplished by modifying the Bouguer slab equation to coefficient of storage equals 78.3 times the ratio of change in gravity in milligals to change in water-table …

A novel approach to investigating chlorophyll-a fluorescence quantum yield variability in the Southern Ocean
… ΦF was determined for 66 in situ field stations, sampled in the Atlantic Southern Ocean during the austral winter of 2012 and summer of 2013/ 2014. Phytoplankton pigments, macronutrient concentrations, and light levels were simultaneously measured to investigate their influence on …
