Laques Large-scale storms are rarely observed in Saturn's atmosphere, but their appearance traces the wind velocity field, providing information on the vertical structure of the clouds and on the dynamics of the atmosphere. Two large-scale atmospheric disturbances formed by clouds highly reflective in the… American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)	1996-02-02

A bilinear estimate with applications to the KdV equation Authors: Luis Vega,Gustavo Ponce,Carlos E. Kenig u(x, 0) = u0(x), where u0 ∈ H(R). Our principal aim here is to lower the best index s for which one has local well posedness in H(R), i.e. existence, uniqueness, persistence and continuous dependence on the data, for a finite time interval, whose size depends on ‖u0‖Hs . Equation in (1.1) was… American Mathematical Society (AMS)	1996-01-01
