The system weakened Cause_change_of_strength as it entered Arriving cooler sea surface temperatures and began Process_start a gradual transition Change to an extratropical cyclone , a process it completed Process_end by October 3 .

The shuttle had no escape Escaping system , and the impact Influence of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable .

On December 28 , 1998 Iraq fired Use_firearm SA-3 surface to air missiles against coalition aircraft patrolling Patrolling the northern no-fly zone .

This battle was the largest of the five major U.S. surface engagements since the Second World War , which also include Cause_to_be_included the Battle of Chumonchin Chan during the Korean War , the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the Battle of Dong Hoi during the Vietnam War , and the Action in the Gulf of Sidra in 1986 .

It also marked Recording the U.S. Navy 's first exchange of anti-ship missiles with opposing ships and the only occasion since World War II on which the US Navy sank a major surface combatant .

By the end of the operation , U.S. air and surface units had sunk , or severely damaged Damaging , half of Iran 's operational fleet .

The current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting Lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangular crystal panels .

Under the assumption that the plane could have survived a controlled landing on the ocean surface , the Coast Guard launched Motion a massive search Scouring for the plane and any potential survivors .

initially , the tropical depression failed to strengthened Cause_change_of_strength significantly , but due Causation to warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear , it became Becoming tropical storm Catastrophe gladys by september 24 .

Briefly traveling Traveling over a warm eddy of the Gulf Stream 's loop current it encountered Motion moderate wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures .

He initially planned Arranging to eject Motion in sight of the vessel , but noticed Know that its cargo provided Supply a flat landing Motion surface .

As he touched down Arriving the aircraft began Process_start to slide Motion backwards on the wet surface .

`` the airstrike on Truk Island '' ) , 17–18 February 1944 , was a massive United States Navy air and surface attack Attack on Truk Lagoon conducted Action as part of the American offensive drive Self_motion against the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) through the Central Pacific Ocean during World War II .

Between the air attacks and surface ship attacks over the two days of Operation `` Hailstone '' , the worst blow Motion against the Japanese was about 250 warplanes destroyed Destroying , with the concurrent irreplaceable loss Earnings_and_losses of experienced pilots .

But in the event Pakistan failed Earnings_and_losses badly , winning Earnings_and_losses only a single group match against minnows New Zealand - blaming Judgment_communication their poor play on failure Earnings_and_losses to adjust Confronting_problem to the Astroturf surface , used Using in a major hockey tournament for the first time instead of grass .

This storm Catastrophe was a complex combination Cause_to_amalgamate of multiple systems , including an upper air low from the northern Great Plains states , and a surface low from the Gulf Coast states .

As the surface low tracked Motion northeast from the coast of North Carolina , the upper air low transferred Giving its energy to it , eventually enabling Preventing_or_letting the new storm Catastrophe to undergo rapid intensification Expansion near the shore of eastern Long Island .

Radio contact with the aircraft was lost Earnings_and_losses at approximately 03:40 UTC ; a rescue operation was launched GetReady which found light debris on the surface of the ocean approximately west of Shannon .

Favorable environmental conditions , such as low wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures , allowed Preventing_or_letting the system to intensify Cause_change_of_strength into a severe tropical storm by July 12 .

The depth of the test cavity was approximately below the ground surface .

A January 2005 report by the DOE stated Statement that radioactivity levels were normal at the surface and in groundwater , though a later report due in 2007 was expected to more fully explore if there was subsurface contamination and whether or not radioactivity was still spreading Dispersal outward from the blast site itself .

The aircraft were in an area known as the `` Hudson River VFR Corridor '' , which extends Expansion from the surface of the river to altitudes of at various locations along the Hudson River in the immediate area of New York City .

The first Alice developed Coming_to_be rather suddenly on June 24 over the Bay of Campeche , though it may well have formed Coming_to_be earlier but went undetected Having_or_lacking_access due to limited surface weather observations .

in response Response to the controversy Communication , the american association for the advancement of science ( aaas ) , the american meteorological society ( ams ) and the union of concerned scientists ( ucs ) released Statement statements Statement supporting Supporting the scientific consensus that the earth 's mean surface temperature had been rising Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale for decades , with the aaas concluding Coming_to_believe : `` based on multiple lines of scientific evidence that global climate change Change caused Causation by human activities is now underway ... it is a growing Expansion threat to society '' .

VORTEX1 and VORTEX2 involved Cause_to_be_included large surface fleets of instrumented vehicles as well as aircraft and mobile radars .

Four of the region 's known Know strike-slip faults and one additional newly discovered Know normal fault all broke Destroying the surface during the earthquake Catastrophe .

For one month this situation endured , but snow arrived in Arriving late November , and the river surface began Process_start to freeze Change .

Moving Motion into an area of favorable upper-level conditions and warm sea surface temperatures , Kenna quickly strengthened Cause_change_of_strength to reach Achieve peak winds of 165 mph ( 270 km/h ) as a Category 5 hurricane Catastrophe , on October 25 , while located about 255 mi ( 410 km ) southwest of Puerto Vallarta , Jalisco .

No surface faulting Bodily_harm occurred Coming_to_be , though a large number of other ground failures Catastrophe and landslides Catastrophe were present Presence , especially in the Summit area of the Santa Cruz Mountains .

The combination of the absorption of a second low-pressure area to its southeast , a stronger than normal sea surface temperature differential along its path , and the presence Presence of a strong jet stream aloft led to Causation a rapid strengthening Cause_change_of_strength of the storm Catastrophe , with its central pressure falling Motion_directional to an estimated on 10 January .

With cooler sea surface temperatures and high wind shear in its path , the hurricane weakened Cause_change_of_strength steadily , deteriorating Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale to a tropical depression by August 16 .

After an initial surface cleanup effort the site sat idle for over a decade .

A later surface cleanup effort primarily tackled Resolve_problem leftover toxic materials .

Hunley '' approached Arriving just under the surface , avoiding Preventing_or_letting detection until the last moments , then embedded Placing and remotely detonated Attack a spar torpedo that rapidly sank Motion_directional the sloop-of-war with the loss Death of five Union sailors .

As the cyclone passed Motion_directional over increasingly cool sea surface temperatures and became Becoming intertwined in a baroclinic zone , it began Process_start to undergo an extratropical transition .

Once over water , warm sea surface temperatures allowed Preventing_or_letting Diana to quickly become Becoming a hurricane Catastrophe and later peak as a Category 2 on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale on August 7 .

All 33 men were rescued Rescuing and brought Bringing to the surface on 13 October 2010 over a period of almost 24 hours .

After the last trapped miner was winched to the surface , the rescue workers still underground held up Hold a sign before the camera stating `` '' '' ( English : `` Mission accomplished Chile '' '' ) to the estimated more than 1 billion people watching the rescue on live television around the world .

The retrieval of the first miner , Florencio Ávalos , began Process_start on Tuesday , 12 October at 23:55 CLDT , with the rescue capsule reaching the surface 16 minutes later .

As the cyclone entered Arriving a more stable atmosphere and tracked Self_motion across increasingly cooler sea surface temperatures , it began Process_start extratropical transition , a process the system completed by the following afternoon .

although it entered Arriving an area of warmer sea surface temperatures , jasmine subsequently entered Arriving extratropical transition and later degenerated Change into an extratropical cyclone Catastrophe on 16 february , and later dissipated Dispersal completely on 19 february .

Despite favorable conditions , with high sea surface temperatures , the storm Catastrophe only intensified Cause_change_of_strength into a Category 1 hurricane Catastrophe .

After attaining peak intensity on July 27 , Gil encountered Hostile_encounter cooler sea surface temperatures and began Process_start to weaken Cause_change_of_strength .

The tropical cyclone encountered Hostile_encounter an area of vertical wind shear and cool sea surface temperatures , which further weakened Cause_change_of_strength the system .

However , on the following Self_motion day , wind shear increased Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale again , while sea surface temperatures decreased Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale , causing Causation Jose to weaken Cause_change_of_strength and quickly transition into an extratropical cyclone .

although the soviets enjoyed Getting an overwhelming superiority in surface ships over the axis , this was effectively negated Destroying by german air superiority and most of the soviet ships sunk were destroyed Destroying by bombing Attack .

The British had the Royal Navy which was superior in numbers and could operate Being_in_operation on most of the world 's oceans because of the British Empire , whereas the Imperial German Navy surface fleet was mainly restricted Hindering to the German Bight , and used Using commerce raiders and unrestricted submarine warfare to operate elsewhere .

No surface ruptures were present in the epicentral area , but landslides Catastrophe closed roads and railroad tracks for at least a week while cleanup took place Process_start .

After twenty years of playing on Rebound Ace , the courts were changed Change to Plexicushion , a marginally faster surface .

The new surface is thinner , and therefore has lower heat retention .
