Firefighters were finally able to contain a nearly 100- square mile blaze on Tuesday night after days of struggling in Southern California, but with rain forecast, there was a new fear of mudslides.The National Weather Service issued a flood watc

It, along with a second fire, has charred a combined 131 square miles.Skies were partly cloudy Tuesday and temperatures were considerably cooler than the highs of last week.

It was burning in low-elevation brush and on rocky ridges dotted with pines killed by drought and a bark beetle infestation. It was 57 percent contained Tuesday.On the northwestern edge of the fire front, an 800-acre blaze remained within a few miles of mountain hamlets but we don t feel there s any real threat, Rich Phelps of the U.S. Forest Service said.

In 1960, scientists did one of those experiments that just aren ;t allowed anymore. For the sake of science, they blew up three 3oo-lb anti-submarine bombs off the coast of Australia. A listening station 10,000 miles away in Bermuda鈥攐n the exact other side of the planet鈥攚aited. And waited. And, about three and a half hours later, they saw the blip that confirmed their hypothesis: Yes, sound in the ocean really can travel across the world. Some fifty years later, Brian Dushaw, an
stanley botella oceanographer at the University of Washington, has been reconstructing that 1960 experiment. His interest is not sound, however, but temperature. Sound travels more quickly through warmer water, and the speed at which sound traveled in 1960 is thus a snapshot of average ocean temperatures half a century ago. Much ocean temperature data is also of surface waters, but th
stanley kaffeebecher e 1960 experiment provides data for what happens about a kilometer down, in the Sound Fixing and Ranging SOFAR channel. That because sounds in the ocean don ;t just bounce around willy nilly. Due to a quirk of physics, sound waves about a kilometer deep, though the exact depth varies, get trapped in the SOFAR channel: The competing influences of temperature and water pressure keep those wa
