AB An operational forecast system for harmful algal blooms (HABs) in southwest Florida is analyzed for forecasting skill. The HABs, caused by the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, lead to shellfish toxicity and to respiratory irritation. In addition to predicting new blooms and their extent, HAB forecasts are made twice weekly during a bloom event, using a combination of satellite derived image products, wind predictions, and a rule-based model derived from previous observations and research. These forecasts include: identification, intensification, transport, extent, and impact; the latter being the most significant to the public. Identification involves identifying new blooms as HABs and is validated against an operational monitoring program involving water sampling. Intensification forecasts, which are much less frequently made, can only be evaluated with satellite data on mono-specific blooms. Extent and transport forecasts of HABs are also evaluated against the water samples. Due to the resolution of the forecasts and available validation data, skill cannot be resolved at scales finer than 30 km. Initially, respiratory irritation forecasts were analyzed using anecdotal information, the only available data, which had a bias toward major respiratory events leading to a forecast accuracy exceeding 90%. When a systematic program of twice-daily observations from lifeguards was implemented, the forecast could be meaningfully assessed. The results show that the forecasts identify the occurrence of respiratory events at all lifeguard beaches 70% of the time. However, a high rate (80%) of false positive forecasts occurred at any given beach. As the forecasts were made at half to whole county level, the resolution of the validation data was reduced to county level, reducing false positives to 22% (accuracy of 78%). The study indicates the importance of systematic sampling, even when using qualitative descriptors, the use of validation resolution to evaluate forecast capabilities, and the need to match forecast and validation resolutions.

AB Quantifying parameter and prediction uncertainty in a rigorous framework can be an important component of model skill assessment. Generally, models with lower uncertainty will be more useful for prediction and inference than models with higher uncertainty. Ensemble estimation, an idea with deep roots in the Bayesian literature, can be useful to reduce model uncertainty. It is based on the idea that simultaneously estimating common or similar parameters among models can result in more precise estimates. We demonstrate this approach using the Streeter-Phelps dissolved oxygen sag model fit to 29 years of data from Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay has a long history of bottom water hypoxia and several models are being used to assist management decision-making in this system. The Bayesian framework is particularly useful in a decision context because it can combine both expert-judgment and rigorous parameter estimation to yield model forecasts and a probabilistic estimate of the forecast uncertainty.

AB The objective of this work is to characterize the concentrations of selected trace elements (V, Mn, Ni, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, As, Mo, Cd, Pb, U) in diverse nearshore (50 m), coastal (1.5 km) and seawater well environments within the Hawaiian Archipelago using robust analytical methods that are appropriate for metals analyses in seawater. The sampling sites include locations having varying type, quality and quantity of freshwater input. In most coastal and nearshore cases. the trace element concentrations approximate values characteristic of offshore waters. Concentrations of trace elements in coastal waters that were enriched through either urban or agricultural inputs declined sharply within a short distance from shore; this is taken to indicate the predominant importance of physical mixing/advective processes along with particle scavenging in these dynamic areas. Trace element levels in seawater wells did not evidence any concentration trends consistent with island age suggesting little or no impact of island weathering on metal concentrations: concentration differences among wells appeared to be more dependent on well depth, redox conditions, and/or salinity. Sampling also targeted nearshore locales where ciguatera fish poisoning is prominent because of suggested linkages between trace element concentrations and aberrant dinoflagellate growth. Nearshore stations where ciguatera is prevalent failed to show clearly different trace element levels except for two prominent locales which showed elevated Mn and Fe concentrations.

AB Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is an important disinfectant and bleach and is currently manufactured from an indirect process involving sequential hydrogenation/ oxidation of anthaquinones. However, a direct process in which H(2) and O(2) are reacted would be preferable. Unfortunately, catalysts for the direct synthesis of H(2)O(2) are also effective for its subsequent decomposition, and this has limited their development. We show that acid pretreatment of a carbon support for gold- palladium alloy catalysts switches off the decomposition of H(2)O(2). This treatment decreases the size of the alloy nanoparticles, and these smaller nanoparticles presumably decorate and inhibit the sites for the decomposition reaction. Hence, when used in the direct synthesis of H(2)O(2), the acid- pretreated catalysts give high yields of H(2)O(2) with hydrogen selectivities greater than 95%.

TI Methane Sorption in Nanoporous Metal-Organic Frameworks and First-Order
Phase Transition of Confined Methane
SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C
LA English
DT Article
ID HYDROGEN STORAGE; DESIGN; FLUID
AB Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for methane sorption and storage. Using neutron powder diffraction, we have directly determined the methane sorption sites in two prototypical MOF materials: zeolitic irnidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8, Zn(6)(N(2)C(4)H(5))(12)) and metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5, Zn(4)O(13)(C(8)H(4))(3)). The primary methane adsorption sites are associated with the organic linkers in ZIF-8 and the metal oxide clusters in MOF-5. Methane molecules on these primary sites possess well-defined orientations, implying relatively strong binding with the framework. With higher methane loading, extra methane molecules populate the secondary sites and are confined in the framework. The confined methanes are orientationally disordered and stabilized by the intermolecular interactions. Below 100 K a maximum of similar to 18 and similar to 24 methane molecules per formula unit can be stored in ZIF-8 and MOF-5, corresponding to similar to 20 and similar to 50 wt % storage capacities, respectively. An unusual reversible methane-induced structural phase transition in MOF-host lattice is observed at similar to 60 K in both ZIF-8 and MOF-5 due to strong intermolecular interaction between confined methane molecules in the pores of the host lattice.

AB We demonstrate a method for simultaneous structure and function determination of integral membrane proteins. Electrical impedance spectroscopy shows that Staphylococcus aureus a-hemolysin channels in membranes tethered to gold have the same properties as those formed in free-standing bilayer lipid membranes. Neutron reflectometry provides high-resolution structural information on the interaction between the channel and the disordered membrane, validating predictions based on the channel's x-ray crystal structure. The robust nature of the membrane enabled the precise localization of the protein within 1.1 angstrom. The channel's extramembranous cap domain affects the lipid headgroup region and the alkyl chains in the outer membrane leaflet and significantly dehydrates the headgroups. The results suggest that this technique could be used to elucidate molecular details of the association of other proteins with membranes and may provide structural information on domain organization and stimuli-responsive reorganization for transmembrane proteins in membrane mimics.

AB We synthesize estimates of the contemporary net air-sea CO2 flux on the basis of an inversion of interior ocean carbon observations using a suite of 10 ocean general circulation models (Mikaloff Fletcher et al., 2006, 2007) and compare them to estimates based on a new climatology of the air-sea difference of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)) (Takahashi et al., 2008). These two independent flux estimates reveal a consistent description of the regional distribution of annual mean sources and sinks of atmospheric CO2 for the decade of the 1990s and the early 2000s with differences at the regional level of generally less than 0.1 Pg C a(-1). This distribution is characterized by outgassing in the tropics, uptake in midlatitudes, and comparatively small fluxes in the high latitudes. Both estimates point toward a small(similar to -0.3 Pg C a(-1)) contemporary CO2 sink in the Southern Ocean (south of 44 degrees S), a result of the near cancellation between a substantial outgassing of natural CO2 and a strong uptake of anthropogenic CO2. A notable exception in the generally good agreement between the two estimates exists within the Southern Ocean: the ocean inversion suggests a relatively uniform uptake, while the pCO(2)-based estimate suggests strong uptake in the region between 58 degrees S and 44 degrees S, and a source in the region south of 58 degrees S. Globally and for a nominal period between 1995 and 2000, the contemporary net air-sea flux of CO2 is estimated to be -1.7 +/- 0.4 Pg C a(-1) (inversion) and -1.4 +/- 0.7 Pg C a(-1) (pCO(2)-climatology), respectively, consisting of an outgassing flux of river-derived carbon of similar to+0.5 Pg C a(-1), and an uptake flux of anthropogenic carbon of -2.2 +/- 0.3 Pg C a(-1) (inversion) and -1.9 +/- 0.7 Pg C a(-1) (pCO(2)-climatology). The two flux estimates also imply a consistent description of the contemporary meridional transport of carbon with southward ocean transport throughout most of the Atlantic basin, and strong equatorward convergence in the Indo-Pacific basins. Both transport estimates suggest a small hemispheric asymmetry with a southward transport of between -0.2 and -0.3 Pg C a(-1) across the equator. While the convergence of these two independent estimates is encouraging and suggests that it is now possible to provide relatively tight constraints for the net air-sea CO2 fluxes at the regional basis, both studies are limited by their lack of consideration of long-term changes in the ocean carbon cycle, such as the recent possible stalling in the expected growth of the Southern Ocean carbon sink.

TI Modeling the impact of ClNO2 on ozone formation in the Houston area

AB During the summer of 2006, nitryl chloride (ClNO2) mixing ratios of over 1 ppb were measured in the Houston urban area. Nitryl chloride is potentially important to atmospheric chemistry in urban environments because its photolysis products include both NO2 and chlorine atoms. Chlorine atoms have previously been shown to significantly increase ozone formation in urban Houston. Photochemical modeling was performed using the Comprehensive Air quality Model with extensions (CAMx) to estimate the effects of observed nitryl chloride concentrations on local chemistry in southeast Texas. CAMx was modified to include a formation mechanism for nitryl chloride as well as its photolysis reaction. Comparisons between model predictions and ambient measurements showed that the model-predicted ClNO2 concentrations were within the range of observed data. Model simulations predict that ClNO2 increases total reactive chlorine mass by 20-40% in the atmosphere of southeast Texas. Despite the high reactivity of chlorine, nitryl chloride caused only modest increases in ozone concentrations ( up to 1.0-1.5 ppb when baseline 1-h average ozone concentrations were between 60 and 85 ppb). The chemistry and physical processes which affect ozone formation were further investigated using box model simulations and a Lagrangian process analysis tool (LPA) within the gridded photochemical modeling simulations. These analyses showed that vertical dispersion and local atmospheric composition moderated the effect of nitryl chloride on ozone mixing ratios.

TI High Capacity Hydrogen Adsorption in Cu(II) Tetracarboxylate Framework
Materials: The Role of Pore Size, Ligand Functionalization, and Exposed
Metal Sites

AB A series of isostructural metal-organic framework polymers of composition [Cu(2)(L)(H(2)O)(2)] (L=tetracarboxylate ligands), denoted NOTT-nnn, has been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray structures confirm the complexes to contain binuclear Cu(II) paddlewheel nodes each bridged by four carboxylate centers to give a NbO-type network of 6(4).8(2) topology. These complexes are activated by solvent exchange with acetone coupled to heating cycles under vacuum to afford the desolvated porous materials NOTT-100 to NOTT-109. These incorporate a vacant coordination site at each Cu(II) center and have large pore volumes that contribute to the observed high H(2) adsorption. Indeed, NOTT-103 at 77 K and 60 bar shows a very high total H(2) adsorption of 77.8 mg g(-1) equivalent to 7.78 wt% [wt% = (weight of adsorbed H(2))/(weight of host material)] or 7.22 wt% [wt% = 100(weight of adsorbed H2)/(weight of host material + weight of adsorbed H(2))]. Neutron powder diffraction studies on NOTT-101 reveal three adsorption sites for this material: at the exposed Cu(II) coordination site, at the pocket formed by three {Cu(2)} paddle wheels, and at the cusp of three phenyl rings. Systematic virial analysis of the H2 isotherms suggests that the H2 binding energies at these sites are very similar and the differences are smaller than 1.0 kJ mol(-1), although the adsorption enthalpies for H(2) at the exposed Cu(II) site are significantly affected by pore metrics. Introducing methyl groups or using kinked ligands to create smaller pores can enhance the isosteric heat of adsorption and improve H(2) adsorption. However, although increasing the overlap of potential energy fields of pore walls increases the heat of H(2) adsorption at low pressure, it may be detrimental to the overall adsorption capacity by reducing the pore volume.

TI Multimodel estimates of intercontinental source-receptor relationships
for ozone pollution

OZONE; SURFACE OZONE; CARBON-MONOXIDE; NORTH-AMERICA; MACE-HEAD;
BACKGROUND OZONE; TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPORT
AB Understanding the surface O-3 response over a "receptor" region to emission changes over a foreign "source" region is key to evaluating the potential gains from an international approach to abate ozone (O-3) pollution. We apply an ensemble of 21 global and hemispheric chemical transport models to estimate the spatial average surface O-3 response over east Asia (EA), Europe (EU), North America (NA), and south Asia (SA) to 20% decreases in anthropogenic emissions of the O-3 precursors, NOx, NMVOC, and CO (individually and combined), from each of these regions. We find that the ensemble mean surface O-3 concentrations in the base case (year 2001) simulation matches available observations throughout the year over EU but overestimates them by > 10 ppb during summer and early fall over the eastern United States and Japan. The sum of the O-3 responses to NOx, CO, and NMVOC decreases separately is approximately equal to that from a simultaneous reduction of all precursors. We define a continental-scale "import sensitivity" as the ratio of the O-3 response to the 20% reductions in foreign versus "domestic" (i.e., over the source region itself) emissions. For example, the combined reduction of emissions from the three foreign regions produces an ensemble spatial mean decrease of 0.6 ppb over EU (0.4 ppb from NA), less than the 0.8 ppb from the reduction of EU emissions, leading to an import sensitivity ratio of 0.7. The ensemble mean surface O-3 response to foreign emissions is largest in spring and late fall (0.7-0.9 ppb decrease in all regions from the combined precursor reductions in the three foreign regions), with import sensitivities ranging from 0.5 to 1.1 (responses to domestic emission reductions are 0.8-1.6 ppb). High O-3 values are much more sensitive to domestic emissions than to foreign emissions, as indicated by lower import sensitivities of 0.2 to 0.3 during July in EA, EU, and NA when O-3 levels are typically highest and by the weaker relative response of annual incidences of daily maximum 8-h average O-3 above 60 ppb to emission reductions in a foreign region(< 10-20% of that to domestic) as compared to the annual mean response (up to 50% of that to domestic). Applying the ensemble annual mean results to changes in anthropogenic emissions from 1996 to 2002, we estimate a Northern Hemispheric increase in background surface O-3 of about 0.1 ppb a(-1), at the low end of the 0.1-0.5 ppb a(-1) derived from observations. From an additional simulation in which global atmospheric methane was reduced, we infer that 20% reductions in anthropogenic methane emissions from a foreign source region would yield an O-3 response in a receptor region that roughly equals that produced by combined 20% reductions of anthropogenic NOx, NMVOC, and CO emissions from the foreign source

DT Article
ID REAL-TIME DATA; CLIMATE; DESIGN; SYSTEM
AB A new World Ocean atlas of monthly temperature and salinity, based on individual profiles for 2003-2007 (WOA21c), is constructed and compared with the World Ocean Atlas 2001 (WOA01), the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05), and the data assimilation analysis from the Coupled Data Assimilation (CDA) system developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). First, we established a global data management system for quality control (QC) of oceanic observed data both in real time and delayed mode. Delayed mode QC of Argo floats identified about 8.5% (3%) of the total floats (profiles) up to December 2007 as having a significant salinity offset of more than 0.05. Second, all QCed data were gridded at 1 degrees by 1 degrees horizontal resolution and 23 standard depth levels using six spatial scales (large and small longitudinal, latitudinal, and cross-isobath) and a temporal scale. Analyzed mean temperature in WOA21c is warm with respect to WOA01 and WOA05, while salinity difference is less evident. Consistent differences among WOA01, WOA05, and WOA21c are found both in the fully and subsampled data set, which indicates a large impact of recent observations on the existing climatologies. Root mean square temperature and salinity differences and offsets of the GFDL's CDA results significantly decrease in the order of WOA01, WOA05, and WOA21c in most oceans and depths as well. This result suggests that the WOA21c is of use for the collocated assessment approach especially for high-performance assimilation models on the global scale.

AB The African Plio-Pleistocene hominins known as australopiths evolved a distinctive craniofacial morphology that traditionally has been viewed as a dietary adaptation for feeding on either small, hard objects or on large volumes of food. A historically influential interpretation of this morphology hypothesizes that loads applied to the premolars during feeding had a profound influence on the evolution of australopith craniofacial form. Here, we test this hypothesis using finite element analysis in conjunction with comparative, imaging, and experimental methods. We find that the facial skeleton of the Australopithecus type species, A. africanus, is well suited to withstand premolar loads. However, we suggest that the mastication of either small objects or large volumes of food is unlikely to fully explain the evolution of facial form in this species. Rather, key aspects of australopith craniofacial morphology are more likely to be related to the ingestion and initial preparation of large, mechanically protected food objects like large nuts and seeds. These foods may have broadened the diet of these hominins, possibly by being critical resources that australopiths relied on during periods when their preferred dietary items were in short supply. Our analysis reconciles apparent discrepancies between dietary reconstructions based on biomechanics, tooth morphology, and dental microwear.

TI Land surface temperature data assimilation and its impact on
evapotranspiration estimates from the Common Land Model

DT Article
ID VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION; ENERGY BALANCE COMPONENTS; COMMUNITY
CLIMATE MODEL; EVAPORATION; FLUXES
AB A variational data assimilation algorithm for assimilating land surface temperature (LST) in the Common Land Model (COLM) is implemented using the land surface energy balance as the adjoint physical constraint. In this data assimilation algorithm, the evaporative fraction of soil and canopy is adjusted according to the surface temperature observations. The analysis results from COLM with the LST assimilation algorithm compare well with the field observations from AmeriFlux data at four sites with different land surface conditions. These results indicate that the surface temperature assimilation method is efficient and effective when only one observation for each day is available (e. g., an observation at 1400 local solar time). A sensitivity analysis for the COLM estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is also carried out, and the impact of the surface temperature data assimilation on the ET estimates is assessed. It is found that except for time periods with a heavy rainfall event, the ET estimates with the surface temperature assimilation once per day during 0800-1600 local solar time compare better with the AmeriFlux ET measurements than do those without the LST data assimilation. This study implies that the data assimilation algorithm for assimilating regional-scale remote sensing LST data into COLM is promising.

ID AUTOPHAGY; ZOOXANTHELLAE; DEATH; STRESS
AB Coral bleaching is a major contributor to the global declines of coral reefs. This phenomenon is characterized by the loss of symbiotic algae, their pigments or both. Despite wide scientific interest, the mechanisms by which bleaching occurs are still poorly understood. Here we report that the removal of the symbiont during light and temperature stress is achieved using the host's cellular autophagic-associated machinery. Host cellular and subcellular morphologies showed increased vacuolization and appearance of autophagic membranes surrounding a variety of organelles and surrounding the symbiotic algae. Markers of autophagy (Rab 7 and LAS) corroborate these observations. Results showed that during stress the symbiont vacuolar membrane is transformed from a conduit of nutrient exchange to a digestive organelle resulting in the consumption of the symbiont, a process we term symbiophagy. We posit that during a stress event, the mechanism maintaining symbiosis is destabilized and symbiophagy is activated, ultimately resulting in the phenomenon of bleaching. Symbiophagy may have evolved from a more general primordial innate intracellular protective pathway termed xenophagy.

AB Here we characterize virus-like particles (VLPs) by three very distinct, orthogonal, and quantitative techniques: electrospray differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA), asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation with multi-angle light scattering detection (AFFFF-MALS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). VLPs are biomolecular particles assembled from viral proteins with applications ranging from synthetic vaccines to vectors for deliver), of gene and drug therapies. VLPs may have polydispersed, multimodal size distributions, where the size distribution can be altered by subtle changes in the production process. These three techniques detect Subtle size differences in VLPs derived from the non-enveloped murine polyomavirus (MPV) following: (i) functionalization of the surface of VLPs with an influenza viral peptide fragment; (ii) packaging of foreign protein internally within the VLPs; and (iii) packaging of genomic DNA internally within the VLPs. These results demonstrate that ES-DMA and AFFFF-MALS are able to quantitatively determine VLP size distributions with greater rapidity and statistical significance than TEM, providing useful technologies for product development and process analytics.

AB observations suggest that the interannual variability of wintertime convection in Wilkinson Basin (WB) during 1977-2005 is related to the variation in the surface layer salinity in the western Gulf of Maine (wGOM). When the winter convection is stronger (weaker), the resulting deep-layer temperatures in the wGOM are colder (warmer), and the likelihood of deep winter mixing is greater when the wGOM salinities are high. This hypothesis was tested using a one-dimensional mixed layer model to simulate the water column structure over the cooling period. Comparisons were made between the convection potential for the range of observed late-fall salinity Values. Model results indicated that the mixed layer depth Could deepen by as much as 50% when the surface layer salinities in the wGOM were high. Sensitivity tests revealed that the surface layer salinity variability, and its influence on the water column density structure, was a significant factor, along with local climate variability, in determining the observed time series trend in springtime bottom layer temperatures.
Density distributions in the wGOM in high salinity years suggested that winter-cooled water from the adjacent shallow coastal areas could become sufficiently dense to cascade into the deeper layers of WB and enhanced the convective cooling. The interannual variation in wintertime convection and in the resulting density structure has important implications for biological processes. The associated variation in deeper layer temperatures has been shown to influence the spatial distribution, timing of spawning, and growth rates of many demersal and mid-water fishery populations.

AB We use recent aircraft measurements of a comprehensive suite of anthropogenic halocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), and related tracers to place new constraints on North American halocarbon emissions and quantify their global warming potential. Using a chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) we find that the ensemble of observations are consistent with our prior best estimate of the U.S. anthropogenic CO source, but suggest a 30% underestimate of Mexican emissions. We develop an optimized CO emission inventory on this basis and quantify halocarbon emissions from their measured enhancements relative to CO. Emissions continue for many compounds restricted under the Montreal Protocol, and we show that halocarbons make up an important fraction of the total greenhouse gas source for both countries: our best estimate is 9% (uncertainty range 6-12%) and 32% (21-52%) of equivalent CO2 emissions for the U.S. and Mexico, respectively, on a 20 year time scale. Performance of bottom-up emission inventories is variable, with underestimates for some compounds and overestimates for others. Ongoing methylchloroform emissions are significant in the U.S. (2.8 Gg/y in 2004-2006), in contrast to bottom-up estimates (< 0.05 Gg), with implications for tropospheric OH calculations. Mexican methylchloroform emissions are minor.

AB The Finland trityl paramagnet is characterized by magnetic susceptibility and a new form of quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) that utilizes a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) as a detection method. This radical is of interest due to its use as a dynamic nuclear polarization agent as well as a potential magnetic refrigerant and quantum computing bit. The SQUID-EPR data show that the EPR linewidth of a concentrated trityl powder decreases dramatically from 4.4 to 1.4 mT as the temperature is increased from 1.8 to 10 K. The quantitative nature of SQUID-EPR is used to thermodynamically quantify the EPR energy transfer times and saturated fractions. At 95 GHz and 1.8 K, only 40% of the spins are in resonance at the onset of saturation. Conventional dc magnetic susceptibility over 1.8-150 K indicates an S=1/2 Curie-Weiss relationship with little long range interaction. Magnetization versus applied field at 1.8 and 4 K fits a Brillouin function with >80% electronic polarization at a normalized field of g mu(B)mu H-0/kT approximate to 3. These results provide information required for theoretical modeling and engineering of the trityl radical for a wide range of applications.

AB Cranial endothermy evolved independently in lamnid sharks, billfishes and tunas, and is thought to minimize the effects of ambient temperature change on both vision and neural function during deep dives. The opah, Lampris guttatus, is a large epipelagic-mesopelagic predator that makes repeated dives into cool waters to forage. To determine if L. guttatus exhibits cranial endothermy, we measured cranial temperatures in live, decked fish and identified potential sources of heat and mechanisms to conserve heat. In 40 opah (95.1 +/- 7.6 cm fork length), the temperature of the tissue behind the eye was elevated by a mean (+/- s.e.m.) of 2.1 +/- 0.3 degrees C and a maximum of 6.3 degrees C above myotomal muscle temperature (T-m), used as a proxy for ambient temperature. Cranial temperature varied significantly with Tm and temperature elevation was greater at lower Tm. The proximal region of the paired lateral rectus extraocular muscle appears to be the primary source of heat. This muscle is the largest extraocular muscle, is adjacent to the optic nerve and brain and is separated from the brain only by a thin layer of bone. The proximal lateral rectus muscle is darker red in color and has a higher citrate synthase activity, indicating a higher capacity for aerobic heat production, than all other extraocular muscles. Furthermore, this muscle has a layer of fat insulating it from the gill cavity and is perfused by a network of arteries and veins that forms a putative counter-current heat exchanger. Taken together, these results support the hypothesis that the opah can maintain elevated cranial temperatures.

AB To help identify the etiological agents for amyloid-related diseases, attention is focused here on the fibrillar precursors, also called oligomers and protofibrils, and on modeling the reaction kinetics of the formation of the amyloid nucleus. Insulin is a favored model for amyloid formation, not only because amyloidosis can be a problem in diabetes, but also because aggregation and fibrillation causes problems during production, storage, and delivery. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used to measure the temporal formation of insulin oligomers in H(2)O- and D(2)O-based solvents and obtain consistent evidence of the composition of the insulin nucleus that comprised three dimers or six monomers similar to that recently proposed in the literature. A simple molecular structural model that describes the growth of oligomers under a wide range of environmental conditions is proposed. The model first involves lengthening or end-on-end association of dimers to form three-dimer nuclei, and then exhibits broadening or side-on-side association of nuclei. Using different additives to demonstrate their influence on the kinetics of oligomer formation, we showed that, although the time required to form the nucleus was dependent on a specific system, they all followed a universal pathway for nucleus and precursor formation. The methods and analyses presented here provide the first experimental molecular size description of the details of amyloid nucleus formation and subsequent propagation to fibril precursors independent of kinetics.

AB We used a combination of field experiments and stable isotopes to examine mummichog growth and movement within a New England estuary. We documented physical and biological patterns within the estuary by caging individually-marked fish in enclosures at four locations along a coastal river and measuring environmental parameters (e.g., salinity, tidal inundation) and fish characteristics (e.g., gut-contents, growth, and stable isotope values) at each location. The upstream location was fresh (1 ppt) at low tide, and the downstream location was saline at high tide (32 ppt). The upstream and downstream locations had more tidal inundation than the intermediate location. Fish gut contents were dominated by terrestrial insects at the upstream location, by algae and detritus at the intermediate locations, and by aquatic insects at the downstream location. Fish grew fastest at the upstream location and slowest at the downstream location. Stable isotope values (delta C-13 and delta N-15) of fish held in cages were significantly different at upstream, intermediate, and downstream locations. We transferred fish from one location to another in order to document how stable isotope values change when fish switch diets by moving within this estuary. Because differences in rates at which different tissue types approach the isotopic value of new diet sources can be used as a way to estimate the time since diet shift, we used the delta C-13 and delta N-15 values of liver and muscle as indicators of short term previous diet (liver) and longer term previous diet (muscle). We collected wild (uncaged) mummichogs from each location, and we compared their liver and muscle isotope values to values of fish that were transferred among locations. When fish were transferred from one location to another, their stable isotope values were intermediate between expected values at the previous and current locations. The liver approached stable isotope values representative of current location faster than muscle. Wild fish showed greater variation in stable isotope values than fish held in cages, Wild fish from the upstream location showed patterns in liver and muscle stable isotope values that were consistent with patterns in fish that were transferred from the downstream location to the upstream location (similar to 10 km away). These patterns in stable isotope values could have multiple causes including intra-season movement between downstream and upstream locations. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Genetic population structure of the Pacific saury (Cololabis saira) was investigated using nucleotide sequence analysis on the mitochondrial DNA control region (355-361 bp). Although the left domain of the control region is known to be highly variable in many species, extremely low nucleotide and haplotype diversities (pi-0.17% and h=0.418, respectively) were observed in a total of 141 individuals collected from five distant locales (East China Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, northwest Pacific, central North Pacific and northeast Pacific). No significant haplotype frequency differences were detected among widely separated samples, therefore we were unable to reject the null hypothesis of no genetic structuring in the Pacific saury population. Moderate levels of nucleotide substitution (p-distance) were observed between the Pacific saury and its Atlantic counterpart (Scomberesox saurus) in the control region (7.44%), cytochrome b gene (4.64%), and internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) (11.49%), indicating that the low sequence diversity of the control region in the Pacific saury is not due to the slow mutation rate. The molecular data suggest the Pacific saury may be a relatively recent offshoot among the extant members in the family Scomberesocidae. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB The coastal lagoons of south Florida, U.S., experience fluctuating levels of sedimentation and salinity and contain only a subset of the coral species found at the adjacent reefs of the Florida Reef Tract. The dominant species within these habitats is Siderastrea radians, which can reach densities of up to 68 colonies m(-2) and is commonly exposed to salinity extremes (<10 psu to >37 psu) and chronic sediment burial. In this study, we document the patterns of resistance and resilience of S. radians to sub-optimal salinity levels and sediment burial in a series of short-term, long-term, acute, chronic, single-stressor, and sequential-stressor experiments.
S. radians displayed remarkable patterns of resistance and resilience and mortality was documented only under prolonged (>= 48 h) continuous exposure to salinity extremes (15 and 45 psu) and chronic sediment burial. A reduction in photosynthetic rates was documented for all salinity exposures and the decrease in photosynthesis was linearly related to exposure time. Negative impacts on photosynthetic rates were more severe under low salinity (15 psu) than under high salinity (45 psu). Corals exposed to intermediate, low-salinity levels (25 psu), exhibited initial declines in photosynthesis that were followed by temporary increases that may represent transient acclimatization patterns. The impacts of sediment burial were influenced by the duration of the burial period and ranged from a temporary reduction in photosynthesis to significant reductions in growth and tissue mortality. The maintenance of P/R ratios >1 and the rapid (< 24 h) recovery of photosynthetic rates after burial periods of 2-24 h indicates that S. radians is able to resist short-term burial periods with minor physiological consequences. However, as burial periods increase and colonies become covered at multiple chronic intervals, sediment burial resulted in extended photosynthetic recovery periods, reduced growth, and mortality. Under normal conditions (i.e., no salinity stress), S. radians was very effective at clearing sediments, and >50% of the colonies' surface area was cleared within I h. However, clearing rates were influenced by physiological status, and prior exposure to sub-optimal salinity significantly reduced the clearing rates of stressed colonies.
The response of S. radians to disturbance documented in this study characterizes this species as highly stress-tolerant and provides an explanation for its present high abundance in both reef and marginal environments. Moreover, the key life-history attributes of S. radians, such as brooding reproductive strategy, small colony size, high stress-tolerance, and high recruitment rates, suggest the potential for this species to replace reef-building taxa under increased disturbance scenarios in Florida and elsewhere in the region.

SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID REGION; SATELLITE; IONOSPHERE; JICAMARCA
AB Equatorial vertical plasma drift is an important consequence of the E and F region dynamos. Understanding the climatology of vertical drift can provide significant insight into many ionospheric phenomena. In this study we present the first empirical model of vertical plasma drifts at 150 km altitude, observed by the Jicamarca Unattended Long-term studies of the Ionosphere and Atmosphere (JULIA) coherent scatter radar located in Peru. The model, called JULIA Vertical Drift Model (JVDM), describes the local time, seasonal, and solar flux behavior of the equatorial vertical drifts in the Peruvian sector. The model is valid from 0800 through 1600 local time, which is typically when JULIA makes vertical drift measurements. During very high solar flux conditions, however, the model is unreliable before 1000 local time owing to a lack of JULIA data. The model includes a climatology of the 150 km equatorial vertical drifts as well as an estimate of the day-to-day variability, which can be significant. The daytime drifts typically peak between 1000 and 1200 LT and have amplitudes of 25-30 m/s +/- 10 m/s. The model has been validated against the global empirical model of Scherliess and Fejer, with a total rms difference of under 4 m/s for 1000 to 1600 LT. This model will allow researchers to study daily variations in the equatorial electric field by subtracting the climatological mean. Model coefficients and software are available online at http://geomag.org/models and http://www.earthref.org.

AB In this paper we develop and examine several schemes for combining daily images obtained from the Sea-viewing Wide Field Spectrometer (SeaWiFS) with a two-dimensional sediment transport model of Lake Michigan. We consider two data assimilation methods, direct insertion and a kriging-based approach, and perform a forecasting study focused on a 2-month period in spring 1998 when a large storm caused substantial amounts of sediment resuspension and horizontal sediment transport in the lake. By beginning with the simplest possible forecast method and sequentially adding complexity we are able to assess the improvements offered by combining the satellite data with the numerical model. In our application, we find that data assimilation schemes that include both the data and the lake dynamics improve forecast root mean square error by 40% over purely model-based approaches and by 20% over purely data-based approaches.

AB A 9-km coupled ice-ocean model (CIOM) was implemented in the entire Bering Sea to investigate seasonal cycles of sea ice and ocean circulation under atmospheric forcing. Sea ice cover with a maximum of 0.6 x 10(6) km(2) in February to late March was reasonably reproduced by the Bering-CIOM and validated by Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) measurements. The model also captures some important spatial variability and downscaling processes such as polynyas and ridging, which the SSM/I measurements cannot reproduce because of their coarse (25 km) resolution. There are two distinct surface ocean circulation patterns in winter and summer on the Bering shelves because of the dominant winds, which are northeasterly in winter and southwesterly in summer. Summer low-temperature, high-salinity water mass (< 3 degrees C) on the Bering shelf is formed locally during winter because of strong vertical convection caused by salt injection when ice forms, wind, and wind-wave mixing on the shelf. The northward volume transport across the 62.5 degrees N line, with an annual mean of 0.8 +/- 0.33 Sv (1 Sv = 10(6) m(3) s(-1)) that is consistent with the measurements in the Bering Strait, has barotropic structure, which transports heat flux (with an annual mean of 7.74 TW; 1 TW = 10(12) W) northward. The Anadyr Current advects warmer, saltier water northward during summer; nevertheless, it reverses its direction to southward during winter because of predominant northeasterly and northerly wind forcing. Therefore, the Anadyr Current advects cold, salty water southward. The volume transport on the broad midshelf is northward year round, advecting heat (3.3 +/- 2.4 TW) and freshwater (-8 +/- 10 x 10(4) practical salinity unit (psu) m(3) s(-1)) northward. One important finding is that the Anadyr Current and the midshelf current are out of phase in volume and heat transports. The Alaskan Coastal Current also transports heat and freshwater northward on an annual basis. The Bering-CIOM also captures the winter dense water formation along the Siberian coast, which is promoted by the downwelling favorable northeasterly wind, and the summer upwelling due to the basin-scale upwelling favorable southwesterly wind, which brings up the cold, salty, and nutrient-rich water from the subsurface to the surface within a narrow strip along the west coast. This upwelling found in the model was also confirmed by satellite measurements in this study.

TI Chemical Pressure Induced Spin Freezing Phase Transition in Kagome Pr
Langasites
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID LATTICE; MAGNETS; ICE
AB The 2D kagome system Pr(3)Ga(5)SiO(14) has been previously identified as a spin-liquid candidate in zero field, displaying no magnetic long-ranged order down to at least 35 mK. Perturbations upon such systems, either under applied fields or applied pressure, should induce a spin freezing phase transition, but there are very few experimental realizations of this phenomena other than the well-studied 3D pyrochlore Tb(2)Ti(2)O(7). In this Letter, we report the observation of a spin freezing phase transition in Pr(3)Ga(5)SiO(14) through the application of chemical pressure-that is, through a systematic substitution on the Si site with larger ions and an elongation of the nearest-neighbor Pr-Pr distance in the kagome lattice. This results in a suppression of the T(2) component of the heat capacity, and the reduction of the exchange constant eventually leads to dipolar-driven spin freezing.

AB Light microscope observations of a haplosporidian in Diporeia spp. amphipods from Lakes Michigan and Huron, USA, found that the parasite spore is operculate and measures 8.1 mu m in length and 6.1 mu m in width. Round to amorphous sporocysts averaging 23.6 mu m were present throughout hemal sinuses of infected amphipods. The number of developing spores within a sporocyst was highly variable and spores were observed in various stages of development. Electron microscopy revealed a lid over the operculum of developing spores and documented spores with fairly large and extensive ornamentation. This is the first haplosporidian reported in Diporeia spp. amphipods and only the second haplosporidian from freshwater species.

AB Fifty submarine volcanoes of the Mariana Arc, covering 1200 km from 13.5 degrees N to 23.2 degrees N, were surveyed for hydrothermal activity. Of these 50 volcanoes, eight showed limited evidence of hydrothermal activity, while another 10 volcanoes displayed intense, chemically rich, hydrothermal plumes that allow detailed chemical characterization and insight into the hydrothermal activity forming the fluids that generate the plumes. The most active volcanoes exhibit a wide range of CO(2) to pH relationships, from the venting of acid-rich fluids, to CO(2)-rich fluids, to fluids rich in alkalinity and CO(2). These pH-CO(2)-alkalinity relationships are partially responsible for the wide range of Fe:Mn (3 to 32) observed at the different volcanoes. This chemical heterogeneity is further manifest in a wide range of CO(2):(3)He (3 x 10(9) to 55 x 10(9)), indicating that for all but one, >80% of the CO(2) venting from these volcanoes has a slab source. The helium, by contrast, has an upper mantle isotopic signature. The range of chemical conditions suggests that these volcanoes occupy various states of eruptive evolution ranging from ongoing magmatic activity to highly evolved hydrothermal systems.

AB An extensive data set of nitric acid (HNO3) and ozone (O-3) measurements has been collected in the lower and middle stratosphere with in situ instruments onboard the NASA WB-57F aircraft and remote sounding instruments that include the JPL MkIV Interferometer, the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder, and the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The measurements utilized in this study span a broad latitudinal range between the deep tropics and northern high latitudes. The data are used to establish the robustness of the HNO3-O-3 correlation in the stratosphere and the latitudinal dependence in the correlation. Good agreement is found among the HNO3-O-3 correlations observed with the various instruments. Comparing HNO3-O-3 correlations relaxes the coincidence criteria necessary when making direct comparisons of HNO3 measurements and allows meaningful comparisons between data sets that are not closely matched in time or space. The utility of this correlation is further demonstrated by establishing vertical profiles of proxy HNO3 mixing ratios using the observed correlation and widely available ozonesonde data. These profiles expand the range of data available for validating remote measurements of HNO3. The HNO3-O-3 correlation is also demonstrated as a diagnostic for identifying locally enhanced HNO3 in the upper troposphere. In situ measurements of HNO3 near the tropical tropopause during the Aura validation campaigns are consistent with ACE-FTS observations, with both revealing extremely low mixing ratios (< 125 ppt) and a HNO3 minimum in this region.

AB The persistence of lead.(Pb) in contaminated topsoil is ranked as one of the most serious environmental issues in the U.S. and other countries. Adsorption of Pb at the aqueous interface of nanoscale metal oxide and metal (oxy)hydroxide particles is perhaps the most significant process responsible for controlling contaminant sequestration and mobility, but the process is poorly understood at the molecular level. Experimental studies of absorption of Pb onto bulk minerals have indicated significant differences in reactivity, but the molecular basis for these differences has remained elusive due to the challenges of observing and modeling the complex chemistry that exists at the water-oxide interface. In this work, we present a detailed ab initio theoretical investigation aimed at understanding the fundamental physical and chemical characteristics of Pb adsorption onto the (0001) surface of two common minerals, alpha-Al2O3 and alpha-Fe2O3. The results of our periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the adsorption energy of Pb(II) on hematite is more than four times the value on isostructural alumina with the same fully hydroxylated surface stoichiometry due to bonding interactions enabled by the partially occupied Fe d-band. Site preference for Pb(II) adsorption on alumina is shown to depend strongly on the cost to disrupt highly stable hydrogen bonding networks on the hydrated surface, but is less of a factor for the stronger Pb-hematite interaction.

AB Understanding the source of variation of the optical properties within an ensemble of nanowires (NWs) is an important step toward fabrication of NWs with more uniform and better-controlled properties. This in turn will facilitate the development of complex architectures for device applications. Analysis of gold- and copper-catalyzed zinc oxide (ZnO) NWs grown in a high temperature tube furnace on a sapphire substrate shows that the structural and optical properties vary with NW growth sites on the substrate. Results show that there are systematic changes in the optical properties of the ZnO NWs from the center to the edge of the substrate, and also from "upstream" to "downstream" along the gas flow direction, implying changes in the availability of the source material and catalyst over the substrate surface during the growth. Photoluminescence microscopy has been used to map out these changes and unravel the growth patterns. We observe two distinct trends that are labeled the "edge" trend and the "gas flow" trend, respectively, and are linked to two growth phases. The first phase starts while the growth tube temperature and gas flow have not yet reached their final steady states. In this phase, due to the limited availability of the source material in gas phase, only metal nanodroplets that are located at the substrate edges have the advantage of early growth. While the edge NWs continue their growth, the second phase starts when the growth tube temperature and gas flow reach reasonable stabilities. Our results show that these two phases are more pronounced in the case of copper-catalyzed NWs. In the first phase, NWs have a better chance to grow at the substrate edges. In the second phase, copper diffuses downstream, causing an interesting variation in the optical properties of NWs. Numerous morphology examinations of NWs show that the variation in emission is related to the change in the ratio of the surface area to the bulk volume of the NWs within an ensemble of NWs. The patterns of the ZnO NW optical properties can be used as an indicator to follow the growth patterns of the NWs across the substrate.

TI Tunable delay of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement
SO NATURE

DT Article
ID ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED TRANSPARENCY; CONTINUOUS-VARIABLES; QUANTUM;
INFORMATION; PARADOX
AB Entangled systems display correlations that are stronger than can be obtained classically. This makes entanglement an essential resource for a number of applications, such as quantum information processing, quantum computing and quantum communications(1,2). The ability to control the transfer of entanglement between different locations will play a key role in these quantum protocols and enable quantum networks(3). Such a transfer requires a system that can delay quantum correlations without significant degradation, effectively acting as a short- term quantum memory. An important benchmark for such systems is the ability to delay Einstein - Podolsky - Rosen ( EPR) levels of entanglement and to be able to tune the delay. EPR entanglement is the basis for a number of quantum protocols, allowing the remote inference of the properties of one system ( to better than its standard quantum limit) through measurements on the other correlated system. Here we show that a four- wave mixing process based on a double- lambda scheme in hot Rb-85 vapour allows us to obtain an optically tunable delay for EPR entangled beams of light. A significant maximum delay, of the order of the width of the cross- correlation function, is achieved. The four- wave mixing also preserves the quantum spatial correlations of the entangled beams. We take advantage of this property to delay entangled images, making this the first step towards a quantum memory for images(4).

AB Background: Crucial foundations of any quantitative systems biology experiment are correct genome and proteome annotations. Protein databases compiled from high quality empirical protein identifications that are in turn based on correct gene models increase the correctness, sensitivity, and quantitative accuracy of systems biology genome-scale experiments.
Results: In this manuscript, we present the Drosophila melanogaster PeptideAtlas, a fly proteomics and genomics resource of unsurpassed depth. Based on peptide mass spectrometry data collected in our laboratory the portal http://www.drosophila-peptideatlas.org allows querying fly protein data observed with respect to gene model confirmation and splice site verification as well as for the identification of proteotypic peptides suited for targeted proteomics studies. Additionally, the database provides consensus mass spectra for observed peptides along with qualitative and quantitative information about the number of observations of a particular peptide and the sample(s) in which it was observed.
Conclusion: PeptideAtlas is an open access database for the Drosophila community that has several features and applications that support (1) reduction of the complexity inherently associated with performing targeted proteomic studies, (2) designing and accelerating shotgun proteomics experiments, (3) confirming or questioning gene models, and (4) adjusting gene models such that they are in line with observed Drosophila peptides. While the database consists of proteomic data it is not required that the user is a proteomics expert.

AB Exploring the response of an ecosystem, and subsequent tradeoffs among its biological community, to human perturbations remains a key challenge for the implementation of an ecosystem approaches to fisheries (EAF). To address this and related issues, we developed two network (or energy budget) models, Ecopath and Econetwrk, for the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. These models included 31 network "nodes" or biomass state variables across a broad range of trophic levels, with the present emphasis to particularly elucidate the role of small pelagics. After initial network balancing, various perturbation scenarios were evaluated to explore how potential changes to different fish, fisheries and lower trophic levels can affect model outputs. Categorically across all scenarios and interpretations thereof, there was minimal change at the second trophic levels and most of the "rebalancing" after a perturbation occur-red via alteration of the diet matrix. Yet the model results from perturbations to a balanced energy budget fall into one of three categories. First, some model results were intuitive and in obvious agreement with established ecological and fishing theory. Second, some model results were counter-intuitive upon initial observation, seemingly contradictory to known ecological and fishing theory; but upon further examination the results were explainable given the constraints of an equilibrium energy budget. Finally, some results were counter-intuitive and difficult to reconcile with theory or further examination of equilibrium constraints. A detailed accounting of biomass flows for example scenarios explores some of the non-intuitive results more rigorously. Collectively these results imply a need to carefully track biomass flows and results of any given perturbation and to critically evaluate the conditions under which a new equilibrium is obtained for these types of models, which has implications for dynamic simulations based off of them. Given these caveats, the role of small pelagics as a prominent component of this ecosystem remains a robust conclusion. We discuss how one might use this approach in the context of further developing an EAF, recognizing that a more holistic, integrated perspective will be required as we continue to evaluate tradeoffs among marine biological communities.

AB The dynamics of the surface height fluctuations on layers of covalently tethered, nearly monodisperse polymer chains synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization were studied using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. The data reveal that both polystyrene and poly(n-butyl acrylate) "brushes" have structure at the Surface with length scales in the region of 620-3100 nm, but the surface features show no relaxation in a time window of 0.1...1000 s, even at temperatures more than 130 degrees C above the glass transition temperature of the corresponding untethered chains. This remarkable alteration of the dynamics, is compared with the suppression of fluctuations Oil this length Scale anticipated by thermodynamic theories. The alteration Of Surface dynamics by tethering has implications for wetting, friction, and adhesion.

AB The severity of damaging human-induced climate change depends not only on the magnitude of the change but also on the potential for irreversibility. This paper shows that the climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop. Following cessation of emissions, removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide decreases radiative forcing, but is largely compensated by slower loss of heat to the ocean, so that atmospheric temperatures do not drop significantly for at least 1,000 years. Among illustrative irreversible impacts that should be expected if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increase from current levels near 385 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to a peak of 450-600 ppmv over the coming century are irreversible dry-season rainfall reductions in several regions comparable to those of the "dust bowl'' era and inexorable sea level rise. Thermal expansion of the warming ocean provides a conservative lower limit to irreversible global average sea level rise of at least 0.4-1.0 m if 21st century CO2 concentrations exceed 600 ppmv and 0.6-1.9 m for peak CO2 concentrations exceeding approximate to 1,000 ppmv. Additional contributions from glaciers and ice sheet contributions to future sea level rise are uncertain but may equal or exceed several meters over the next millennium or longer.

AB The relationship between cloud amount and sea surface temperature (SST) over Western Tropical Pacific cloudy regions during TOGA COARE is investigated based on hourly grid simulation data from a two-dimensional coupled ocean-cloud resolving atmosphere model. The model is forced by the large-scale vertical velocity and zonal wind observed and derived from TOGA COARE for a 50-day period. The cloud amount becomes smaller when the ocean surface gets warmer, which is similar to previous relations obtained from observational analyses. As SST increases, the atmospheric temperature increases whereas the surface sensible heat flux decreases. The atmospheric water vapor is not sensitive to SST whereas the surface evaporation flux decreases as SST increases. These indicate that the oceanic effects do not play an important role in determining atmospheric heat and water vapor budgets. The cold atmosphere produces a larger amount of ice clouds that cover a larger area than the warm atmosphere does. The large amounts of ice clouds lead to cooling of the ocean surface through reflecting large amount of solar radiation back to the space. Thus, the negative correlation between the cloud amount and SST only accounts for the important atmospheric effects on the ocean.

AB Oxidation kinetics of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) subjected to rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) at 900 degrees C and 1000 degrees C in dry oxygen for exposure times ranging from 1 to 7.5 min is reported. For 1 min, SiNWs exhibit an enhanced oxidation rate compared to planar silicon, but for longer exposures the oxidation rates of SiNWs and planar Si are similar. Compared to furnace oxidation of SiNWs, RTO provides faster average oxidation rates and a weaker dependence of oxide shell thickness on the NW diameter. Our results demonstrate that RTO is an efficient approach for controlled oxidation of SiNWs.

AB We report single-mode lasing in subwavelength GaAs disks under optical pumping. The disks are fabricated by standard photolithography and two steps of wet chemical etching. The simple fabrication method can produce submicron disks with good circularity, smooth boundary, and vertical sidewalls. The smallest lasing disks have a diameter of 627 nm and thickness of 265 nm. The ratio of the disk diameter to the vacuum lasing wavelength is about 0.7. Our numerical simulations confirm that the lasing modes are whispering-gallery modes with the azimuthal number as small as 4 and a modal volume of 0.97(lambda/n)(3).

AB Mountain ranges, deserts, ice fields and oceans generally act as barriers to the movement of land-dependent animals, often profoundly shaping migration routes. We used satellite telemetry to track the southward flights of bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica baueri), shorebirds whose breeding and non-breeding areas are separated by the vast central Pacific Ocean. Seven females with surgically implanted transmitters flew non-stop 8117-11 680 km (10 153 +/- 1043 s.d.) directly across the Pacific Ocean; two males with external transmitters flew non-stop along the same corridor for 7008-7390 km. Flight duration ranged from 6.0 to 9.4 days (7.8 +/- 1.3 s.d.) for birds with implants and 5.0 to 6.6 days for birds with externally attached transmitters. These extraordinary non-stop flights establish new extremes for avian flight performance, have profound implications for understanding the physiological capabilities of vertebrates and how birds navigate, and challenge current physiological paradigms on topics such as sleep, dehydration and phenotypic flexibility. Predicted changes in climatic systems may affect survival rates if weather conditions at their departure hub or along the migration corridor should change. We propose that this transoceanic route may function as an ecological corridor rather than a barrier, providing a wind-assisted passage relatively free of pathogens and predators.

TI Accelerated increases observed for hydrochlorofluorocarbons since 2004
in the global atmosphere
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

DT Article
ID MONTREAL PROTOCOL
AB Tropospheric accumulation rates of the three most abundant hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were up to two times faster during 2007 than measured in 2003-2004. Tropospheric chlorine from HCFCs increased at 10 pptCl/yr during 2006-2007, up from 6 pptCl/yr in 2003-2004, and offset declines in chlorine from other anthropogenic ozone-depleting substances in 2007 by approximately one-third. Derived global emissions for HCFCs increased by up to 60% since 2004, and, for HCFC-142b, emissions during 2007 were two times larger than projected recently. Measured tropospheric distributions suggest a shift in HCFC emissions to lower latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. These changes coincide with exponential increases in developing country production and consumption and decreases in other countries. When weighted by direct, 100-yr global warming potentials, HCFC emissions in 2007 amounted to 0.78 GtCO(2)-equivalents, or 30% larger than the average during 2000-2004, and were approximately 2.6% of fossilfuel and cement related CO(2) emissions.

AB A slit nozzle supersonic expansion containing C2H2 (246 sccm) and N2O (355 sccm) seeded into Ar (1260 sccm) is investigated using CW cavity ring-down spectroscopy, in the 1.5 mu m range. The C2H2-N2O van der Waals complex is observed around the 2CH acetylenic band. Despite strong perturbations, 117 b-type lines are assigned. Their combined fit with published microwave data leads to new upper state and improved lower state rotational constants. The Lorentzian width of the assigned line profiles sets the mean lifetime to 1.6 ns. The rotational temperature is estimated to be 15 K from the comparison between observed and simulated spectra.

AB We present a high temperature heat treatment study of CVD-grown graphene nanoribbons annealed up to 2800 degrees C, demonstrating a progressive annihilation of lattice defects as the heat treatment temperature is raised. Starting at 1500 degrees C, single and multiple loop formation were observed on the ribbons edges as the temperature was increased. The structural changes of the samples are documented by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, SEM, and HRTEM. This work indicates that nanoribbon annealing eventually leads to defect-free samples, through graphitization and edge loop formation. The annealed material exhibits structural differences that could be tailored for a variety of specific applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

AB Since 2000, ambient seawater pressure has been precisely measured at five seafloor benchmarks inside the summit caldera at Axial Seamount to monitor volcanic inflation, using a remotely operated vehicle to deploy a mobile pressure recorder (MPR) in campaign-style surveys. Additionally, seawater pressure has been measured at the caldera center with multiyear deployments of continuously recording bottom pressure recorders (BPRs). These pressure data (converted to depth) are currently the only measurements of volcanic inflation at a submarine volcano. We show new data spanning 2004 to 2007 documenting steady inflation of 12.7 +/- 0.4 cm/a at the caldera center. The spatial pattern of uplift is consistent with magma storage in a shallow reservoir underlying the caldera at a depth of similar to 3.5 km, and the current uplift rate implies that magma is being supplied to the volcano at a rate of similar to 7.5x10(6) m(3)/a. However, the supply rate immediately after the last eruption in 1998 was significantly higher, and the temporal pattern of uplift at Axial caldera appears to be governed by at least two processes occurring at very different time scales. We interpret the high uplift rates immediately following the 1998 eruption as either due to influx from one or more small satellite magma bodies or as the result of viscoelastic relaxation and/or poroelastic behavior of the crust surrounding the shallow magma chamber, and we present a numerical model which supports the latter interpretation. In contrast, we interpret the current lower uplift rate as due to a steady longterm magma supply from the mantle. This two component uplift pattern has not been observed on land volcanoes, suggesting that magma supply/storage processes beneath this ridge axis volcano differ from volcanoes on land (including Iceland). To reconstruct the uplift history at Axial, we fit the combined MPR and BPR data to two possible uplift scenarios, with which we forecast that the next eruption at Axial is likely to occur by about 2020, when most of the similar to 3 m of deflation that occurred during the 1998 eruption will have been recovered.

AB Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used to probe the conformation of SDS-BSA protein surfactant complexes during electrophoresis in cross-linked polyacrylamide gels. Contrast variation permits independent probing of the structure of protein-surfactant complexes with negligible scattering contributions from the polyacrylamide matrix. The conformation of the protein complexes in the gel is found to be independent of the electric fields that are applied in this work (10 V/cm). Furthermore, there are no signs of large-scale macromolecular orientation (anisotropy) in the scattering patterns. However, the scattering shows that there are significant interparticle correlations between the protein-surfactant complexes that are electrophoretically inserted into the gel. These interactions develop when the total concentration of protein in the gels reaches values that are larger than similar to 1 mg/mL. The correlations are due to molecular crowding in the small fraction of pores that are available for protein migration.

AB A yellow solid material [PxHy] has been obtained in the reaction of phosphine (PH3) and nitric oxide (NO) at room temperature and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis mass spectrometry (TGA-MS) and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. In this work using complete basis set (CBS-QB3) methods a plausible mechanism has been investigated for phosphine polymerization in the presence of nitric oxide (NO). Theoretical explorations with the ab initio method suggest (a) instead of the monomer the nitric oxide dimer acts as an initial oxidant, (b) the resulting phosphine oxides (H3P=O <-> H3P+O-) in the gas phase draw each other via strong dipolar interactions between the P-O groups, and (c) consequently an autocatalyzed polymerization occurs among the phosphine oxides, forming P-P chemical bonds and losing water. The possible structures of polyhydride phosphorus polymer were discussed. In the calculations a series of cluster models was computed to simulate polymerization.

AB We describe a conductometric chemical sensor architecture based upon an assembly of parallel metal oxide nanotubes. In this design, an aluminum oxide membrane serves as both a template for growth of the sensing nanotubes and a scaffold to support the nanotubes and the top/bottom electrical contacts for sensing measurements. Important advantages of this sensing architecture are: (1) analyte molecules are detected within the nanotube interior thereby maximizing sensitivity; and (2) metal contacts for resistance measurements are easily and reproducibly established at the ends of the nanotubes. We demonstrate a proof-of-concept for this approach by fabricating and evaluating tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanotube-based conductometric devices. Nanotubes are formed in membrane pores (diameter approximate to 200 nm, length approximate to 60 mu m) by sol-gel deposition and characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photorelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Thin film Au contacts are deposited on the top/bottom of the WO3-coated membranes such that the tube-ends remain open, enabling conductometric sensing along the length of the WO3 nanotubes. The nanotube assemblies detect oxidizing (nitrogen dioxide) and reducing (methanol) gases at 200 degrees C, and exhibit responses two to three orders-of-magnitude greater than a planar WO3-film sensor. The enhanced sensitivity is attributed to the large surface area presented by the interior of the nanotube assemblies. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The adhesion between poly(dimethyisiloxane) (PDMS) hemispheres coated with layer-by-layer (LbL) assemblies of polyelectrolytes and rigid, planar substrates was investigated using Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts (JKR) contact mechanics. Measurements were performed against amine functionalized glass slides both in air aqueous solutions of controlled pH. Despite the increased density of negatively charged carboxylate groups LbL functionalized PDMS exhibited lower adhesion because of the combined effects of increased surface roughness and the high young is modulus of the coating. Measurements of coated PDMS in aqueous solutions revealed tunable adhesion behavior dominated by pH mediated changes in the mechanical properties of the coating Smoothing the surface of the LbL coatings by aqueous salt annealing led to a significant increase in adhesion. Our results suggest that LbL assembly can be an effective means of surface functionalization for in situ adhension measurements, but understanding and predicting the adhesion behavior requires comprehensive knowledge of the chemical mechanical and topological properties of the coating and how such properties change in response to the ambient enviroment.

AB A new multi-layer canopy resistance model of bi-directional NH(3) exchange is presented. This new model, which is based on the Multi-Layer BioChemical deposition (MLBC) model [Wu, Y., Brashers, B., Finkelstein, P.L., Pleim, J.E., 2003a. A multiplayer biochemical dry deposition model. I. model formulation. J. Geophys. Res. 108, D1; Wu, Y., Brashers, B., Finkelstein, P.L., Pleim, J.E., 2003b. A multiplayer biochemical dry deposition model. II. Model evaluation. J. Geophys. Res. 108, D1], incorporates a parameterization for the ammonia stomatal compensation point that is theoretically derived to consider the effects of leaf temperature and apoplastic concentrations of NH(4)(+) and H(+). The new ammonia stomatal compensation point scheme accounts for the effects of deposition, emission and leaf temperature on the dynamics of apoplast [NH(4)(+)] and [H(+)]. The new model is evaluated against bidirectional NH(3) fluxes measured over fertilized soybean. The general patterns of observed deposition and emission are successfully reproduced when the ammonia stomatal compensation point is included. Driven by the effects of deposition, emission and leaf temperature, modeled apoplastic [NH(4)(+)] and [H(+)] display significant diurnal variation when the buffer effect of the underlying metabolic processes generating or consuming NH(4)(+) were ignored. Model predictive capability is improved slightly by incorporating the feedback into a dynamic stomatal compensation point. A simple implementation of the feedback mechanism in the current model provides opportunities for improvement. While the stomatal flux is shown to be an important process in the regulation of canopy-scale fluxes, it appears that exchange with leaf surface water and soil may also be important.

AB The calculus of residues is one of the many beautiful tools that comes out of the field of complex variables. The calculus of residues is applied, together with the inversion formula for characteristic functions, to compute the non-gamma probability density function for the sum of gamma variates with different shape parameters. The distribution of the sum of gamma variates is needed in problems in statistical inference, as well as stochastic processes. This derivation seems more elegant than previous methods for deriving the density function of such a sum. Furthermore, the numerical computation is straightforward, especially in any symbolic computer language.

AB A portable cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) apparatus was used to detect effluents from small test fires in the Fire Emulator/Detector Evaluator (FE/DE) and a small room in the Building Fire and Research Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The output from two lasers is combined to detect four combustion gases, CO, CO2, HCN, and C2H2, near simultaneously using CRDS. The goal of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of using a CRDS sensor as a fire detector. Fire effluents were extracted from several test facilities and measurements of CO, CO2, HCN, and C2H2 were obtained every 25-30 s. In the FE/DE test, peak concentrations of the gases from smoldering paper were 420 parts in 10(6) (ppm) CO2 1600 ppm CO2, 530 parts in 10(9) (ppb) HCN, and 440 ppb C2H2. Peak gas concentrations from the small room were 270 ppm CO, 2100 ppm CO2, and 310 ppb C2H2. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

AB A Standard Reference Material (SRM (TM)) for the Seebeck coefficient is critical for inter-laboratory data comparison and for instrument calibration. To develop this SRM T, we have conducted an international round-robin measurement survey of two candidate materials-undoped Bi(2)Te(3) and constantan (55% Cu and 45% Ni alloy). Measurements were performed in two rounds by twelve laboratories involved in active thermoelectric research using a number of commercial and custom-built measurement systems and techniques. We report the results of these measurements and the statistical analysis performed. Based on this extensive study, we have selected Bi(2)Te(3) as the prototype standard material.

AB We report concentrations of several classes of organochlorines (OCs) in the blubber of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from the Gulf of California. Summed OC levels measured in 34 wild-ranging animals were, in general, lower than those previously reported in sea lions from the eastern Pacific. The rank order of OCs was Sigma DDTs (mean = 3400 ng g(-1) lipid weight [lw]) > Sigma PCBs (1400 ng g(-1) lw) > Sigma HCHs (50 ng g(-1) lw) >= Sigma CHLORs (46 ng g(-1) lw). The most abundant OC measured was the DDT metabolite, p, p'-DDE. No significant differences in OC profiles were found between genders or rookeries. Although the mean concentrations of OCs measured in adult males and females were similar, only adult females had significantly higher (p < 0.05) mean blubber concentrations of Sigma DDTs and Sigma HCHs than pups.

AB Change in the yield of chlorophyll a fluorescence is a common indicator of thermal stress in corals. The present study reports temporal variability ill quantum yield measurements for 10 coral species in Ofu. American Samoa-a place known to experience elevated and variable seawater temperatures. In winter, the zooxanthellae generally had higher dark-adapted maximum quantum yield (F(v)/F(m)) higher light-adapted effective quantum yield (Delta F/F(m)), and lower relative electron transport rates (rETR) than in the summer. Temporal changes, appeared unrelated to the expected bleaching sensitivity of corals. All species Surveyed, with the exception of Montipora grisea. demonstrated significant temporal changes in the three fluorescence parameters. Fluorescence responses were influenced by the microhabitat-temporal differences in fluorescence parameters were Usually observed in the habitat with a more variable temperature regime (pool 300), while differences in F(v)/F(m) between species were observed only in the more environmentally stable habitat (pool 400). Such species-specific responses and microhabitat variability should be be considered when attempting to determine whether observed Situ changes are normal seasonal changes or early signs of , bleaching.

AB By leveraging current technologies to manage distributed climate data in a unified virtual environment, the Earth System Grid (ESG) project is promoting data sharing between international research centers and diverse users. In transforming these data into a collaborative community resource, ESG is changing the way global climate research is conducted.
Since ESG's production beginnings in 2004, its most notable accomplishment was to efficiently store and distribute climate simulation data of some 20 global coupled ocean-atmosphere models to the scores of scientific contributors to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); the IPCC collective scientific achievement was recognized by the award of a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Other international climate stakeholders such as the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and the developers of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and of the Climate Science Computational End Station (CCES) also have endorsed ESG technologies for disseminating data to their respective user communities. In coming years, the recently created Earth System Grid Center for Enabling Technology (ESG-CET) will extend these methods to assist the international climate community in its efforts to better understand the global climate

TI MARINE OBSERVATIONS OF OLD WEATHER

ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; AIR-TEMPERATURE; DATASET; ICOADS; ICE
AB Weather observations are vital for climate change monitoring and prediction. For the world's oceans, there are many meteorological and oceanographic observations available back to the mid-twentieth century, but coverage is limited in earlier periods, and particularly also during the two world wars. Before 1850 there are currently very few instrumental observations available. Consequently, detailed observational estimates of surface climate change can be made only back to the mid-nineteenth century. To improve and extend this early coverage, scientists need more observations from these periods. Fortunately, many such observations exist in logbooks, reports, and other paper records, but their inclusion in the climatic datasets requires that these paper records be abstracted from the world's archives, digitized into an electronic form, and blended into existing climate databases.
As a first step in this direction, selected Royal Navy logbooks from the period of 1938-47, kept in the U.K. National Archives, have been photographed and digitized. These have provided more than 1,500,000 new observations for this period, and a preliminary analysis has shown significant improvements to the record of climate change in the mid-twentieth century.

AB We used a 112-year time series of Alaskan fishery catches to test competing hypotheses concerning trends in mean catch trophic level, a widely used indicator of fisheries sustainability. We found that mean trophic level has generally remained steady or increased in recent decades on Alaska-wide and regional scales, indicating stable catches of high trophic level taxa. During historical periods of declining mean trophic level, catches of upper trophic level taxa either increased or remained steady, contrary to the predictions of the "fishing down the food web" hypothesis. Further, a climate index was highly correlated (r = 0.069-097) with mean trophic level and (or) the related fisheries in balance (FIB) index across climate regime shifts in the 1940s and 1970s, indicating that climate effects, particularly on high trophic level taxa, can act as the major driver of variability in these parameters. These results provide a contrast to the view of ubiquitous declines in mean trophic level of fishery catches, driven by overexploitation and serial stock replacement.

AB Recent climate changes have had marked effects oil the ice-free season and thermal conditions in marly high-latitude lakes, but their ecological effects combine with density-dependent processes to affect fish growth and life history. To better understand the relative roles of climate and intraspecific density, we applied Gaussian state-space models to long-term data (1962-2006) oil growth of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Iliamna Lake, Alaska, USA. Both temperature and density influenced fry size at the end of their first growing season, but the positive effect of temperature exceeded the negative effects of density. Fry growth was affected by the magnitude of their own cohort more strongly than by the previous brood (i.e., yearlings). In contrast, density was more important (hall temperature in Lake Aleknagik, also in Bristol Bay, over the same period of record. probably because Iliamna Lake is cooler and has generally lower densities of juvenile sockeye salmon than Lake Aleknagik. In both lakes, the size of the fish at the end of the first growing season affects smolt size and m,e at seaward migration, hence survival at sea and age at Maturity, so the relative effects of climate and density depend oil the ecological context.

AB The theoretical framework of the vertical discretization of a ground column for calculating Earth's skin temperature is presented. The suggested discretization is derived from the evenly heat-content discretization with the optimal effective thickness for layer-temperature simulation. For the same level number, the suggested discretization is more accurate in skin temperature as well as surface ground heat flux simulations than those used in some state-of-the-art models. A proposed scheme ("op(3,2,0)") can reduce the normalized root-mean-square error (or RMSE/STD ratio) of the calculated surface ground heat flux of a cropland site significantly to 2% (or 0.9 W m(-2)), from 11% (or 5 W m(-2)) by a 5-layer scheme used in ECMWF, from 19% (or 8 W m(-2)) by a 5-layer scheme used in ECHAM, and from 74% (or 32 W m(-2)) by a single-layer scheme used in the UCLA GCM. Better accuracy can be achieved by including more layers to the vertical discretization. Similar improvements are expected for other locations with different land types since the numerical error is inherited into the models for all the land types. The proposed scheme can be easily implemented into state-of-the-art climate models for the temperature simulation of snow, ice and soil.

AB Evidence is presented that the recent worldwide land warming has occurred largely in response to a worldwide warming of the oceans rather than as a direct response to increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) over land. Atmospheric model simulations of the last half-century with prescribed observed ocean temperature changes, but without prescribed GHG changes, account for most of the land warming. The oceanic influence has occurred through hydrodynamic-radiative teleconnections, primarily by moistening and warming the air over land and increasing the downward longwave radiation at the surface. The oceans may themselves have warmed from a combination of natural and anthropogenic influences.

AB Global atmospheric transport in a climate subject to a substantial weakening of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is studied by using climatological Green's functions of the mass conservation equation for a conserved, passive tracer. Two sets of Green's functions for the perturbed climate and for the present climate are evaluated from 11-year atmospheric trajectory calculations, based on 3-D winds simulated by GFDL's newly developed global coupled ocean-atmosphere model (CM2.1). The Green's function analysis reveals pronounced effects of the climate change on the atmospheric transport, including seasonally modified Hadley circulation with a stronger Northern Hemisphere cell in DJF and a weaker Southern Hemisphere cell in JJA. A weakened THC is also found to enhance mass exchange rates through mixing barriers between the tropics and the two extratropical zones. The response in the tropics is not zonally symmetric. The 3-D Green's function analysis of the effect of THC weakening on transport in the tropical Pacific shows a modified Hadley cell in the eastern Pacific, confirming the results of our previous studies, and a weakening (strengthening) of the upward and eastward motion to the south (north) of the Equator in the western Pacific in the perturbed climate as compared to the present climate.

AB This paper analyzes the spatial dependence of annual diurnal temperature range (DTR) trends from 1950-2004 on the annual climatology of three variables: precipitation, cloud cover, and leaf area index (LAI), by classifying the global land into various climatic regions based on the climatological annual precipitation. The regional average trends for annual minimum temperature (T (min)) and DTR exhibit significant spatial correlations with the climatological values of these three variables, while such correlation for annual maximum temperature (T (max)) is very weak. In general, the magnitude of the downward trend of DTR and the warming trend of T (min) decreases with increasing precipitation amount, cloud cover, and LAI, i.e., with stronger DTR decreasing trends over drier regions. Such spatial dependence of T (min) and DTR trends on the climatological precipitation possibly reflects large-scale effects of increased global greenhouse gases and aerosols (and associated changes in cloudiness, soil moisture, and water vapor) during the later half of the twentieth century.

AB A Mixture fraction analysis is performed to investigate the Characteristics of chemical species production in smoky compartment fires burning condensed-phase hydrocarbon fuels. A series of fire experiments were conducted in a 2/5 scale compartment based on the ISO-9705 room. Gas species and soot measurements were made at two locations in the upper layer of the compartment. The fuels considered, heptane, toluene, and polystyrene, generate highly smoky fires over a range of natural ventilation conditions. The mass fractions of measured chemical species, Such as unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and soot are presented as a function of mixture fraction and compared with state relationships based on the idealized reactions of a hydrocarbon fuel. The results show that plotting the local composition as a function of the mixture fraction adequately collapses hundreds of species measurements from an assortment of compartment conditions with varying heat release rates and spatial locations into a few coherent lines or bands. It is also shown that about half (or more) of the fuel carbon may exist in the form of carbonaceous soot in the upper layer of smoky compartment fires. Inclusion of soot in the mixture fraction analysis allows identification of fuel-rich or under-ventilated conditions. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.

AB A dynamic mathematical model for simulating the coupled heat and moisture migration through multilayer porous building materials was proposed. Vapor content and temperature were chosen as the principal driving potentials. The discretization of the governing equations was done by the finite difference approach. A new experimental set-up was also developed in this study. The evolution of transient temperature and moisture distributions inside specimens were measured. The method for determining the temperature gradient coefficient was also presented. The moisture diffusion coefficient, temperature gradient coefficient, sorption-desorption isotherms were experimentally evaluated for some building materials (sandstone and lime-cement mortar). The model was validated by comparing with the experimental data with good agreement. Another advantage of the method lies in the fact that the required transport properties for predicting the non-isothermal moisture flow only contain the vapor diffusion coefficient and temperature gradient coefficient. They are relatively simple, and can be easily determined. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB We conducted a research cruise in late summer (July-August) 2000 to study the effect of mesoscale circulation features on zooplankton distributions in the coastal upwelling ecosystem of the northern California Current. Our study area was in a region of complex coastline and bottom topography between Newport, Oregon (44.7 degrees N), and Crescent City, California (41.9 degrees N). Winds were generally strong and equatorward for > 6 weeks prior to the cruise, resulting in the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water along the coast and an alongshore upwelling jet. In the northern part of the study area, the jet followed the bottom topography, creating a broad, retentive area nearshore over a submarine shelf bank (Heceta Bank, 44-44.4 degrees N). In the south, a meander of the jet extended seaward off of Cape Blanco (42.8'N), resulting in the displacement of coastal water and the associated coastal taxa to > 100 km off the continental shelf. Zooplankton biomass was high both over the submarine bank and offshore in the meander of the upwelling jet. We used velocities and standing stocks of plankton in the upper 100m to estimate that 1 x 10(6) m(3) of water, containing an average zooplankton biomass of similar to 20 mg carbon m(-3), was transported seaward across the 2000-m isobath in the meandering jet each second. That flux equated to offshore transport of > 900 metric tons of carbon each day, and 4-5 x 10(4) tons over the 6-8 week lifetime of the circulation feature. Thus, mesoscale circulation can create disparate regions in which zooplankton populations are retained over the shelf and biomass can accumulate or, alternatively, in which high biomass is advected offshore to the oligotrophic deep sea.

AB Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a human genetic disorder characterized by sensitivity to UV radiation, neurodegeneration, premature aging among other phenotypes. CS complementation group B (CS-B) gene (csb) encodes the CSB protein (CSB) that is involved in base excision repair of a number of oxidatively induced lesions in genomic DNA in vivo. We hypothesized that CSB may also play a role in cellular repair of the DNA helix-distorting tandem lesion (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA). Among many DNA lesions. S-cdA is unique in that it represents a concomitant damage to both the sugar and base moieties of the same nucleoside. Because of the presence of the C8-C5' covalent bond, S-cdA is repaired by nucleotide excision repair unlike most of other oxidatively induced lesions in DNA, which are subject to base excision repair. To test our hypothesis, we isolated genomic DNA from brain, kidney and liver of wild type and csb knockout (csb(-/-)) mice. Animals were not exposed to any exogenous oxidative stress before the experiment. DNA samples were analysed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with isotope-dilution. Statistically greater background levels of S-cdA were observed in all three organs of csb(-/-) mice than in those of wild type mice. These results suggest the in vivo accumulation of S-cdA in genomic DNA due to lack of its repair in csb(-/-) mice. Thus, this study provides, for the first time, the evidence that CSB plays a role in the repair of the DNA helix-distorting tandem lesion S-cdA. Accumulation of unrepaired S-cdA in vivo may contribute to the pathology associated with CS. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB We tested four predictions for central-place foragers provisioning offspring along a gradient in primary production spanning 1000 km of coastline in Argentina, using male Magellanic Penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus). Three of the predictions were supported. (1) Foraging trip distances corresponded with the production gradient; penguins swam shorter distances (mean maximum distance: 60-110 km) at the southern colonies where production is higher and prey species aggregate nearshore, and longer distances (143-242 km) at the northern colonies where production is lower and prey species aggregate at offshore fronts. Within these broad regions, foraging locations coincided with tidal mixing fronts or high chlorophyll concentrations. (2) Foraging trips followed a pattern of intermediate speed and meandering when outbound (32% of locations at sea), slow meandering movements within the foraging areas (45%), and very fast and direct returns to the colony (23%). Regardless of how far they went, penguins spent the most time at the outer limits of their trips, and travel speed slowed there, consistent with foraging. In 54% of trips, penguins left foraging patches between 15:00 and 21:00 hours, presumably with full loads for chicks. Returning penguins swam up to 173 km/d (2 m/s), swimming day and night and arriving at all hours to feed chicks. (3) Penguins stayed longer in more distant than closer foraging areas, presumably to feed themselves to recover the increased cost of swimming. One prediction was not supported. (4) Following a long trip, penguins did not meander more on their next outbound trip. Most penguins returned repeatedly to the same area to forage or alternated between two areas. Overall, penguin foraging patterns reflected patterns of oceanographic production, making them important sentinels of environmental variation.

AB Toxicity effects of the antifouling compound, Irgarol 1051, were examined using a simulated estuarine salt marsh ecosystem. The 35 day mesocosm exposure incorporated tidal flux and contained seawater, sediments, marsh grass, and estuarine biota. Irgarol (10.0 mu g/l) caused a significant reduction in phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity. HPLC pigment analysis indicated significant effects of irgarol on both phytoplankton and periphyton community composition, with decreased concentrations of pigments representative of diatom species. There was also a significant decrease in dissolved oxygen levels in the 10.0 mu g/l irgarol treatment. Growth of the hard shell clam was significantly reduced in the 1.0 and 10.0 mu g/l irgarol treatments. The effects observed occurred at irgarol concentrations greater than those typically measured in the environment. Prolonged exposure, the accumulation of irgarol in sediments, plant, or animal tissues, and the interaction of irgarol with other chemicals in the environment; however, could increase risk.

AB Discrepancies in grid structure, dynamics and physics packages in the offline coupled NWS/NCEP NAM meteorological model with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model can give rise to inconsistencies. This study investigates the use of three vertical mixing schemes to drive chemistry tracers in the National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC). The three schemes evaluated in this study represent various degrees of coupling to improve the commonality in turbulence parameterization between the meteorological and chemistry models. The methods tested include: (1) using NAM predicted TKE-based planetary boundary height, h, as the prime parameter to derive CMAQ vertical diffusivity; (2) using the NAM mixed layer depth to determine h and then proceeding as in (1); and (3) using NAM predicted vertical diffusivity directly to parameterize turbulence mixing within CMAQ. A two week period with elevated surface O(3) concentrations during the summer 2006 has been selected to test these schemes in a sensitivity study. The study results are verified and evaluated using the EPA AIRNow monitoring network and other ozonesonde data. The third method is preferred a priori as it represents the tightest coupling option studied in this work for turbulent mixing processes between the meteorological and air quality models. It was found to accurately reproduce the upper bounds of turbulent mixing and provide the best agreement between predicted h and ozonesonde observed relative humidity profile inferred h for sites investigated in this study. However, this did not translate into the best agreement in surface O(3) concentrations. Overall verification results during the test period of two weeks in August 2006, did not show superiority of this method over the other 2 methods in all regions of the continental U.S. Further efforts in model improvement for the parameterizations of turbulent mixing and other surface O(3) forecast related processes are warranted.

AB A sensitivity study is performed to examine the impact of lateral boundary conditions (LBCs) on the NOAA-EPA operational Air Quality Forecast Guidance over continental USA. We examined six LBCS: the fixed profile LBC, three global LBCs, and two ozonesonde LBCs for summer 2006. The simulated results from these six runs are compared to IONS ozonesonde and surface ozone measurements from August 1 to 5, 2006. The choice of LBCs can affect the ozone prediction throughout the domain, and mainly influence the predictions in upper altitude or near inflow boundaries, such as the US west coast and the northern border. Statistical results shows that the use of global model predictions for LBCs could improve the correlation coefficients of surface ozone prediction over the US west coast, but could also increase the ozone mean bias in most regions of the domain depending on global models. In this study, the use of the MOZART (Model for Ozone And Related chemical Tracers) prediction for CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) LBC shows a better surface ozone prediction than that with fixed LBC, especially over the US west coast. The LBCs derived from ozonesonde measurements yielded better O-3 correlations in the upper troposphere.

AB To aid air quality model development and assess air quality forecasts, the Meteorological Development Laboratory (MDL) provided categorical verification metrics for developmental aerosol predictions. The National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) generated 48 h (of) gridded hourly developmental predictions for the lower 48 states (CONUS) domain in 12 km horizontal spacing. The NAQFC uses the North American Mesoscale (NAM) model with EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model to produce predictions of ground level aerosol concentrations. We used bilinear interpolation to calculate predicted daily maximum values at the location of the observation sites. We compared these interpolated predicted values to the observed daily maximum to produce 2 x 2 contingency tables, with a threshold of 40 mu g/m(3) during the months of March-August, 2007. The model showed some degree of skill in predicting aerosol exceedances. These results are preliminary as the NAQFC model for aerosol prediction is in the developmental stage. A more comprehensive performance evaluation will be accomplished in 2008, when more data become available. Our verification metrics included categorical analyses for Fraction Correct (FC) or percent correct (FC x 100), Threat Score (TS) or Critical Success Index (CSI), Probability of Detection (POD), and the False Alarm Rate (FAR), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and mean algebraic error or bias, where bias is forecast minus observation. Graphic products included weekly statistics for the CONUS displayed in the form of bar charts, scatterplots, and graphs. In addition, we split the CONUS into six geographic regions and provided regional statistics on a monthly basis. MDL produced spatial maps of daily 1-h maximum predicted aerosol values overlaid with the corresponding point observations. MDL also provided spatial maps of the daily maximum of the 24-h running average. We derived the 24-h running average from the 1-h average predicted aerosol values and observations.

AB Currently, seawater flushing is the only management strategy for reducing the number of viable organisms in residual sediments and water of ballast tanks of vessels declaring no ballast on board (NOBOB) that traffic ports of the eastern United States. Previously, we identified several species of freshwater and brackish-water peracarid crustaceans able to survive the osmotic shock that occurs during open-ocean ballast water exchange and, potentially, to disperse over long distances via ballasted ships and NOBOB vessels. We tested the efficacy of concentrated sodium chloride brine solutions as an additional treatment for eradicating the halotolerant taxa often present in the ballast tanks of NOBOB ships. The lowest brine treatments (30 ppt for 1 h) caused 100% mortality in several species of cladocerans and copepods collected from oligohaline habitats. Several brackish-water peracarid crustaceans, however, including some that can survive in freshwater as well, required higher brine concentrations and longer exposure durations (45-60 ppt for 3-24 h). The most resilient animals were widely introduced peracarid crustaceans that generally prefer mesohaline habitats but do not tolerate freshwater (required brine treatments of 60-110 ppt for 3-24 h). Brine treatments (30 ppt) also required less time to cause 100% mortality for eight taxa compared with treatments using 34 ppt seawater. Based on these experiments and published data, we present treatment strategies for the ballast tank biota often associated with NOBOB vessels entering the Great Lakes region. We estimate the lethal dosage of brine for 95% of the species in our experiments to be 110 ppt (95% confidence interval, 85-192 ppt) when the exposure time is 1 h and 60 ppt (95% confidence interval, 48-98 ppt) when the exposure duration is 6 h or longer.

ID PROFILE
AB It has proven to be a challenging task to quantitatively resolve the interfacial pro. le at diffuse interfaces, such as, the adsorption pro. le near a bulk binary liquid mixture critical point. In this contribution we examine the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of experimental techniques for studying adsorption, including neutron reflectometry, X-ray reflectometry and ellipsometry. Short length scale interfacial features are best resolved using neutron/X-ray reflectometry, whereas, large length scale interfacial features are best resolved using ellipsometry, or in special circumstances, neutron reflectometry. The use of multiple techniques severely limits the shape of the adsorption pro. le that can describe all experimental data sets. Complex interfaces possessing surface features on many different length scales are therefore best studied using a combination of neutron/X-ray reflectometry and ellipsometry.

TI Assessing benefit transfer for the valuation of ecosystem services
SO FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
LA English
DT Review
ID ECONOMIC VALUES; METAANALYSIS; WETLANDS
AB The valuation of ecosystem services can play an important role in conservation planning and ecosystem-based management. Unfortunately, gathering primary, site-specific data is costly. As a result, a popular alternate method is to conduct a "benefit transfer" (applying economic value estimates from one location to a similar site in another location). Among the potential pitfalls of such an approach, the correspondence (or lack thereof) between the locations is probably the most important for evaluating the probable validity of the benefit transfer. A common type of benefit transfer in ecosystem service valuation applies an estimate of value per hectare to all areas having the same land-cover or habitat type, and is particularly susceptible to errors resulting from lack of correspondence. Enhancing the use of benefit transfers in this and other ecosystem service applications requires paying closer attention to simple guidelines, developed by economists, for improving validity and accuracy.

AB Temporal and spatial trends in paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in Puget Sound shellfish and their relationships with climate are investigated using long-term monitoring data since 1957. Data are selected for trend analyses based on the sensitivity of shellfish species to PSTs and their depuration rates, and the frequency of sample collection at individual sites. These criteria limit the analyses to the shellfish species Mytilus edulis at 20 sites from 1993 to 2007. Blue mussel toxicity is highly variable, but typically exceeds the regulatory limit for human consumption from July to November annually, with most closures occurring early in fall. Using blue mussel data only, we find no robust evidence to suggest that the frequency, magnitude, duration, or geographic scope of PST events in Puget Sound increased between 1993 and 2007. However, there is a significant basin-wide trend for closures to occur earlier in the year. There are no significant correlations between annual indices of mussel toxicity and aspects of the local and large-scale climate. Case studies of daily variations in local environmental factors leading up to exceptionally toxic events identify a combination of conditions that generally precedes most closures from 1993 to 2007. These results suggest that periods of warm air and water temperatures and low streamflow on sub-seasonal timescales may facilitate toxin accumulation in mussels. No relationships were found between water residence times in the surface layer and either streamflow or mussel toxicity. Recommendations are made for future monitoring to improve forecasting of PST risks in Puget Sound, an important region for recreational, commercial, and tribal subsistence shellfish harvesting.

AB This review of late-Holocene palaeoclimatology represents the results from a PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006. The review is in three parts: the principal high-resolution proxy disciplines (trees, corals, ice cores and documentary evidence), emphasizing current issues in their e for climate reconstruction; the various approaches that have been adopted to combine multiple climate us proxy records to provide estimates of past annual-to-decadal timescale Northern Hemisphere surface temperatures and other climate variables, such as large-scale circulation indices; and the forcing histories used in climate model simulations of the past millennium. We discuss the need to develop a framework through which current and new approaches to interpreting these proxy data may be rigorously assessed using pseudo-proxies derived from climate model runs, where the 'answer' is known. The article concludes with a list of recommendations. First, more raw proxy data are required from the diverse disciplines and from more locations, as well as replication, for all proxy sources, of the basic raw measurements to improve absolute dating, and to better distinguish the proxy climate signal from noise. Second, more effort is required to improve the understanding of what individual proxies respond to, supported by more site measurements and process studies. These activities should also be mindful of the correlation structure of instrumental data, indicating which adjacent proxy records ought to be in agreement and which not. Third, large-scale climate reconstructions should be attempted using a wide variety of techniques, emphasizing those for which quantified errors can be estimated at specified timescales. Fourth, a greater use of climate model simulations is needed to guide the choice of reconstruction techniques (the pseudo-proxy concept) and possibly help determine where, given limited resources, future sampling should be concentrated.

AB This paper presents a new collaborative peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming framework for heterogeneous bandwidth capacity of clients. The proposed architecture aims for two primary goals: 1) providing higher streaming quality by making best use of the extra available bandwidth that might exist among heterogeneous clients and 2) providing robustness and resilience to high churn rate of peers by introducing redundancy, both in network paths (multisender overlay) and data (multilayered video content). For achieving these goals, we employ a gossip-based data-driven scheme for partnership formation and layered video coding for bandwidth adaptivity. To solve multilayer bitstream allocation problem, we proposed two algorithms, namely optimized transmission policy and graceful degradation scheme algorithms. The proposed system has a complete self-regulation and in a decentralized fashion. Extensive simulations show that the proposed system achieves higher quality of service through peer-assisted streaming and layered video coding. The results also show that the system outperforms some previous schemes in system overhead and reliability for dynamic node behavior.

AB Common benchmark data sets, standardized performance metrics, and baseline algorithms have demonstrated considerable impact on research and development in a variety of application domains. These resources provide both consumers and developers of technology with a common framework to objectively compare the performance of different algorithms and algorithmic improvements. In this paper, we present such a framework for evaluating object detection and tracking in video: specifically for face, text, and vehicle objects. This framework includes the source video data, ground-truth annotations (along with guidelines for annotation), performance metrics, evaluation protocols, and tools including scoring software and baseline algorithms. For each detection and tracking task and supported domain, we developed a 50-clip training set and a 50-clip test set. Each data clip is approximately 2.5 minutes long and has been completely spatially/temporally annotated at the I-frame level. Each task/domain, therefore, has an associated annotated corpus of approximately 450,000 frames. The scope of such annotation is unprecedented and was designed to begin to support the necessary quantities of data for robust machine learning approaches, as well as a statistically significant comparison of the performance of algorithms. The goal of this work was to systematically address the challenges of object detection and tracking through a common evaluation framework that permits a meaningful objective comparison of techniques, provides the research community with sufficient data for the exploration of automatic modeling techniques, encourages the incorporation of objective evaluation into the development process, and contributes useful lasting resources of a scale and magnitude that will prove to be extremely useful to the computer vision research community for years to come.

AB This paper compares electrical, optical, and atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements of critical dimension (CD) made on a chrome on quartz photomask. Test structures suitable for direct, on-mask electrical probing have been measured using the above three techniques. These include cross-bridge linewidth structures and pairs of Kelvin bridge resistors designed to investigate dimensional mismatch. Overall, the results show very good agreement between the electrical measurements and those made with a calibrated CD-AFM system, while the optical metrology system overestimates the measured width. The uncertainty in each of the measurements has been considered, and for the first time an attempt has been made to describe the levels and sources of uncertainty in the electrical measurement of CD on advanced binary photomasks.

AB We have designed and built 2 oscillators at 1.2 and 3.6 GHz based on high-overtone bulk acoustic resonators (HBARs) for application in chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs). The measured phase noise of the 3.6 GHz oscillator is -67 dBc/Hz at 300 Hz offset and -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. The Allan deviation of the free-running oscillator is 1.5 X 10(-9) at one second integration time and the power consumption is 3.2 mW. The low phase noise allows the oscillator to be locked to a CSAC physics package without significantly degrading the clock performance.

AB There are currently a large variety of wireless access networks, including the emerging vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). A large variety of applications utilizing these networks will demand features such as real-time, high-availability, and even instantaneous high-bandwidth in some cases. Therefore, it is imperative for network service providers to make the best possible use of the combined resources of available heterogeneous networks (wireless area networks (WLANs), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems., VANETs, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), etc.) for connection support. When connections need to migrate between heterogeneous networks for performance and high-availability reasons, seamless vertical handoff (VHO) is a necessary first step. In the near future, vehicular and other mobile applications will be expected to have seamless VHO between heterogeneous access networks. With regard to VHO performance, there is a critical need to develop algorithms for connection management and optimal resource allocation for seamless mobility. In this paper, we develop a VHO decision algorithm that enables a wireless access network to not only balance the overall load among all attachment points (e.g., base stations and access points) but also maximize the collective battery lifetime of mobile nodes (MNs). In addition, when ad hoc mode is applied to 3/4G wireless data networks, VANETs, and IEEE 802.11 WLANs for a more seamless integration of heterogeneous wireless networks, we devise a route-selection algorithm for forwarding data packets to the most appropriate attachment point to maximize collective battery lifetime and maintain load balancing. Results based on a detailed performance evaluation study are also presented here to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithms.

AB The reactivities of mono- and dihalocarbene anions (CHCl(center dot-), CHBr(center dot-), CF(2)(center dot-), CCl(2)(center dot-), and CBrCl(center dot-)) were studied using a tandem flowing afterglow-selected ion flow tube instrument. Reaction rate constants and product branching ratios are reported for the reactions of these carbene anions with six neutral reagents (CS(2), COS, CO(2), O(2), CO, and N(2)O). These anions were found to demonstrate diverse chemistry as illustrated by formation of multiple product ions and by the observed reaction trends. The reactions of CHCl(center dot-) and CHBr(center dot-) occur with similar efficiencies and reactivity patterns. Substitution of a Cl atom for an H atom to form CCl(2)(center dot-) and CBrCl(center dot-) decreases the rate constants; these two anions react with similar efficiencies and reactivity trends. The CF(2)(center dot-) anion displays remarkably different reactivity; these differences are discussed in terms of its lower electron binding energy and the effect of the electronegative fluorine substituents. The results presented here are compared to the reactivity of the CH(2)(center dot-) anion, which has previously been reported. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

ID PERFORMANCE SPECTRAL RADIOMETER; EO CALIBRATION APPLICATIONS
AB To complement existing water bath blackbodies that now serve as NIST primary standard sources in the temperature range from 15 degrees C to75 degrees C, a gallium fixed-point blackbody has been recently built. The main objectives of the project included creating an extended-area radiation source with a target emissivity of 0.9999 capable of operating either inside a cryo-vacuum chamber or in a standard laboratory environment. A minimum aperture diameter of 45mm is necessary for the calibration of radiometers with a collimated input geometry or large spot size. This article describes the design and performance evaluation of the gallium fixed-point blackbody, including the calculation and measurements of directional effective emissivity, estimates of uncertainty due to the temperature drop across the interface between the pure metal and radiating surfaces, as well as the radiometrically obtained spatial uniformity of the radiance temperature and the melting plateau stability. Another important test is the measurement of the cavity reflectance, which was achieved by using total integrated scatter measurements at a laser wavelength of 10.6 mu m. The result allows one to predict the performance under the low-background conditions of a cryo-chamber. Finally, results of the spectral radiance comparison with the NIST water-bath blackbody are provided. The experimental results are in good agreement with predicted values and demonstrate the potential of our approach. It is anticipated that, after completion of the characterization, a similar source operating at the water triple point will be constructed.

DT Article
DE Imager; Infrared (IR); Pyrometer; Radiometer; Size-of-source effect
(SSE); Spatial scatter
AB Differences in the calibration conditions and the real-life applications of infrared pyrometers, radiometers, or imagers can contribute to significant measurement errors due to the presence of scattered light from the areas surrounding the reference source during the calibration process or the measured object in the field measurements. This out-of-field scatter (also known as size-of-source effect, SSE) has to be analyzed separately for each artifact to ensure applicability of the calibration results to the scene of actual measurement. This article discusses SSE characterization methods and specific requirements for calibrating single-element radiometers in the near- and mid-IR parts of the optical radiation spectrum. Two new SSE tools developed at National Institute of Standards and Technology to support routine calibration of IR pyrometers, radiometers, and imagers at the recently developed Advanced Infrared Radiometry and Imaging (AIRI) facility are described. The results of characterization of different commonly used radiometers, including an industrial-grade pyrometer, a high-accuracy pyrometer, two different infrared spectrometers, and an infrared imager, are presented.

TI NIST-NRC Comparison of Total Immersion Liquid-in-Glass Thermometers

DT Article
DE Liquid-in-glass thermometer; Temperature comparison
AB The use of liquid-in-glass (LIG) thermometers is described in many documentary standards in the fields of environmental testing, material testing, and material transfer. Many national metrology institutes, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), list calibration services for these thermometers among the Calibration Measurement Capabilities of Appendix C of the BIPM Key Comparison Database. NIST and NRC arranged a bilateral comparison of a set of total-immersionASTM- type LIG thermometers to validate their uncertainty claims. Two each of ASTM thermometer types 62C through 69C were calibrated at NIST and at NRC at four temperatures distributed over the range appropriate to each thermometer, in addition to the ice point. Collectively, the thermometers span a temperature range of - 38 degrees C to 305 degrees C. In total, 160 measurements (80 pairs) comprise the comparison data set. Pair-wise differences (T(NIST)-T(NRC)) were formed for each thermometer at each temperature. For 8 of the 80 pairs (10 %), the differences exceed the k = 2 combined uncertainties. These results support the claimed capabilities of NIST and NRC for the calibration of LIG thermometers.

Laboratory Accreditation Program; NVLAP; Proficiency test; Scope of
Accreditation/Temperature; Thermometry; Traceability
AB The establishment of traceability is an essential component of laboratory accreditation for calibration laboratories accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Traceability requires that an unbroken chain of comparisons to national standards with stated and documented uncertainties be established. The use of proficiency testing is an important tool for validating uncertainty claims contained within a Scope of Accreditation. As such, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Thermometry Group conducts proficiency testing for NVLAP-accredited contact thermometry laboratories. These proficiency tests include thermometric fixed points, standard platinum resistance thermometers, industrial platinum resistance thermometers, thermistors, thermocouples, and liquid-in-glass thermometers. The NIST Thermometry Group proficiency tests scale inversely in difficulty as a function of the uncertainties contained within a facility's Scope of Accreditation. The offered proficiency tests are designed to establish confidence in the participant's calibration capabilities and uncertainty claims without being an undue burden to the calibration facility. The NIST Thermometry Group proficiency tests involve measurements of NIST-owned artifact(s) at NIST, measurements of the artifact(s) at the participant's calibration facility, and then a second set of measurements at NIST. On completion of the measurement phase of a proficiency test, a detailed report is generated to give the difference in temperature realization between that of the participant and NIST and the degree of equivalence. As part of the goal to improve the participant's measurement capabilities, the report also gives suggested solutions to any identified measurement issues that need attention. The role of proficiency testing as part of the process in achieving NVLAP accreditation in thermometry is discussed in the article. Additionally, the descriptions of the NIST Thermometry Group unbiased third-party proficiency tests and some unidentified participant results are given.

AB While classical studies of dislocation behavior have focused on the motion and multiplication of dislocations, recent advances in experimental methods allow studies that probe relatively dislocation-free volumes of materials. When the dislocation concept was initially developed 75 years ago, researchers were not easily able to examine the ultra-fine size scales of materials that would allow the onset of plasticity to be examined. This paper will review some recent developments in the area of incipient plasticity in materials and provide a historical context for current interest in testing mechanical behavior at small scales.

AB Empirical characterization of graupel and snow in precipitating tropical convective clouds is important for refining satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms and cloud-resolving and radiative transfer models. Microphysics data for this analysis were collected by the University of North Dakota (UND) Citation and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) DC-8 aircraft during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Kwajalein Experiment (KWAJEX) in the western tropical Pacific Ocean. An ice particle identification algorithm was applied to two-dimensional optical array probe data for the purpose of identifying ice particle ensembles dominated by graupel or snow particles. These ensembles were accumulated along 1-km flight segments at temperatures below 0 degrees C. A third category, mixed graupel/snow, has characteristics between those of the predominately graupel and snow ensembles and can be used either in combination with the other two categories or separately. Snow particle ensembles compose 80% of UND Citation and 98% of NASA DC-8 ensemble data. For the UND Citation, graupel ensembles compose similar to 5% of the total with mixed graupel/snow ensembles composing similar to 15%. There were no graupel ensembles in the NASA DC-8 data, which were collected primarily at temperatures,< -35 degrees C. Particles too small to classify (< 150-mu m maximum dimension) compose 56% of UND Citation and 64% of NASA DC-8 particle images. Nearly all these "tiny'' particles occur coincident with particles >similar to 150 mm. Combining data from both aircraft, snow and mixed graupel/snow ensembles were evident over the full range of subfreezing temperatures (from 08 to -65 degrees C) sampled by the aircraft. In contrast, graupel ensembles were present primarily at temperatures >-10 degrees C. Accurate graupel identification was further supported by all graupel ensembles observed either coincident with or within a 10-km horizontal distance of radar-identified convective precipitation structures.

AB This article examines the radial dependence of the height of the maximum wind speed in a hurricane, which is found to lower with increasing inertial stability (which in turn depends on increasing wind speed and decreasing radius) near the eyewall. The leveling off, or limiting value, of the marine drag coefficient in high winds is also examined. The drag coefficient, given similar wind speeds, is smaller for smaller-radii storms; enhanced sea spray by short or breaking waves is speculated as a cause. A fitting technique of dropsonde wind profiles is used to model the shape of the vertical profile of mean horizontal wind speeds in the hurricane boundary layer, using only the magnitude and radius of the "gradient'' wind. The method slightly underestimates the surface winds in small but intense storms, but errors are less than 5% near the surface. The fit is then applied to a slab layer hurricane wind field model, and combined with a boundary layer transition model to estimate surface winds over both marine and land surfaces.

AB This study investigates the potential for estimating mixed layer depth by taking advantage of the radial gradients in the radar reflectivity field produced by the large vertical gradients in water vapor mixing ratio that are characteristic of the mixing height. During the day, this relationship often results in a ring of maximum reflectivity observed to progress radially outward from the radar as mixed layer depth increases. A comparison of mixed layer depths estimated from the Oklahoma City WSR-88D (KTLX) with those estimated from a nearby 915-MHz profiler reveals that mixed layer depths from the WSR-88D are slightly too high (up to 0.3 km) during the first three hours of the diurnal cycle, nearly unbiased midday, and slightly too low (0.2 km or less) thereafter. The procedure estimates mixed layer depths only during the daytime hours from 1300 to 2300 UTC. The weather conditions for the 17 days studied were fairly quiescent, with sunny skies and light winds.

TI The Temporal Aliasing Formulas for the Tandem Mission of Jason-1 and
TOPEX/Poseidon

LA English
DT Article
ID REPEAT ALTIMETRIC SATELLITE; COORDINATED CONSTELLATION
AB The temporal aliasing formulas are derived for the Tandem Mission of Jason-1 and the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon. Previously, aliasing formulas were derived for a single satellite or a constellation of coordinated satellites, wherein the coordination is such that the collective samplings appear as if they were carried out by a single satellite. In this vein, Jason-1 and TOPEX/Poseidon are coordinated spatially but not temporally. The problem is treated as a general problem about the temporal phasing between any two satellites that are coordinated spatially so that the Tandem Mission is just one special case, whereas the temporally coordinated case is another special case. The present results do agree with the formulas for a constellation of coordinated satellites when the temporal phasing yields temporal coordination, as they should. The benefit of temporal coordination shows itself as having a higher spatial resolution for temporally aliased features. The physical implication is twofold. First, a high-frequency and low-wavenumber feature (e.g., the barotropic Rossby waves) has a better chance of being aliased as a low-frequency and higher-wavenumber feature in a perfectly coordinated mission than it has in the Tandem Mission. Second, in a perfectly coordinated mission, a high-frequency and high-wavenumber feature could be aliased as a low-frequency and high-wavenumber feature rather than as a low-frequency and low-wavenumber feature in the Tandem Mission. Despite the extreme mathematical complexity, the physical case is rather intuitive. Namely, the two satellites need temporal coordination to work as one in fending off temporal aliasing. Without it, the two satellites behave as two independent satellites, thus each reverting to their original (i.e., lower) spatial resolution capability in dealing with temporal aliasing.

AB Monolithic (single layer) glass-ceramic restorations often fail from chipping and fracture. Using blunt indentation of a model flat porcelain-like brittle layer bonded onto a dentin-like polymer support system, a variety of fatigue fracture modes has been identified and analyzed: outer cone, inner cone, and median cracks developing in the near-contact region at the occlusal surface; radial cracks developing at the internal cementation surface along the loading axis. Our findings indicate that monolithic glass-ceramic layers are vulnerable to both occlusal surface damage and cementation internal surface fracture. Clinical issues in the longevity of ceramic restorations are discussed in relation to biting force, physical properties of ceramic crowns and luting cement, and thicknesses of ceramic and cement layers.

AB The (p, rho, 7) and some derived volumetric properties such as apparent molar volumes V-phi of CaCl2 in ethanol, isothermal compressibility, and thermal expansion coefficients of (CaCl2 + C2H5OH) solutions at T = (298.15 to 398.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa are reported. The density measurements were made at seven molalities of m = (0.09327, 0.17427, 0.43788, 0.68992, 0.98955, 1.26564, and 1.55045) mol.kg(-1) of CaCl2. An empirical correlation for the density of (CaCl2 + C2H5OH) as a function of pressure, temperature, and molality has been developed. This equation of state was used to calculate other volumetric properties such as isothermal compressibility and thermal expansion coefficients. The derived values of apparent molar volumes were extrapolated to zero concentration to calculate the values of apparent molar volumes (or partial molar volumes) at infinite dilution.

AB ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported recently in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for binary chemical systems. Five activity-coefficient models have been implemented for representation of phase-equilibrium data (vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid equilibrium): NRTL, UNIQUAC, Van Laar, Margules/Redlich-Kister, and Wilson. Implementation of these models in TDE is fully described. Properties modeled individually are densities, surface tensions, critical temperatures, critical pressures, excess enthalpies, and the transport properties-viscosity and thermal conductivity. Extensions to the class structure of the program are described with emphasis on special features allowing close linkage between mixture and pure-component properties required for implementation of the models. Details of gas-phase models used in conjunction with the activity-coefficient models are shown. Initial implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept for reactions is demonstrated with evaluation of enthalpies of formation for compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Directions for future enhancements are outlined.

AB A set of ensemble model experiments using the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmospheric Model version 3.0 (CAM3) is run to investigate the tropical Pacific response to midlatitude atmospheric variability associated with the atmospheric North Pacific Oscillation (NPO). Heat flux anomalies associated with the NPO are used to force a set of model simulations during boreal winter (when the NPO is most energetic), after which the forcing is switched off and the coupled model evolves on its own. Sea surface temperature (SST) and wind anomalies continue to amplify in the tropical Pacific after the imposed forcing has been shut off, indicating that coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions in the tropical Pacific alter the spatial and temporal structure of variability associated with midlatitude forcing. The tropical circulation evolves through feedbacks between the surface wind, evaporation, and SST (the WES feedback), as well as through changes in the shortwave radiative heat flux (caused by changes in convection).
Sensitivity experiments are run to investigate how thermodynamic coupling and seasonality affect the tropical response to NPO-related forcing. Seasonality is found to affect the WES feedback through (i) altering the sensitivity of surface evaporation to changes in the low-level wind field and (ii) altering the structure and strength of the lower-level wind response to SST anomalies. Thermodynamic coupling causes an equatorward and westward development of SST anomalies and an associated equatorward shift in the lower-level zonal wind anomalies.

PACIFIC; OCEAN RESPONSE; SCALE CIRCULATION; TOGA COARE; BURSTS;
ANOMALIES; MODEL
AB Westerly wind events (WWEs) in the western equatorial Pacific have previously been shown to cause significant warming of sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern equatorial Pacific. Observational statistics compiled during and prior to the large El Nino event of 1997/98 link WWEs to substantial (up to 3 degrees C) warming in the eastern Pacific cold tongue region. Since 1998, however, relatively little WWE-related cold tongue warming has been observed, and warm equatorial Pacific SST anomalies (SSTAs) have tended to be trapped near the date line rather than extending to the American coast as in a classical El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) composite. Here, the relationship between WWEs and cold tongue warming is revisited using in situ and operational forecast winds and in situ and satellite-based SST. Significant differences are found in the basin-scale zonal wind anomalies associated with WWEs that occurred before and after 1997/98. Although the post-1997/98 composite WWE westerly anomalies are very similar to their predecessors within the WWE regions, conditions east of the WWE regions are different; there are enhanced equatorial easterlies in the post-1997/98 cases. General ocean circulation model experiments are conducted to explore the extent to which the observed changes in the character of post-1997/98 WWEs can explain the recent behavior of cold tongue SSTAs. It is found that the wind differences can account for the changes in the average cold tongue warming associated with pre- and post-1997/98 WWEs.

AB Differential effective medium theory (D-EMT) has been used by a number of investigators to derive expressions for the shear viscosity of a colloidal suspension or an emulsion as a function of the volume fraction of the dispersed phase. Pal and Rhodes [R. Pal, E. Rhodes, J. Rheol. 33 (7) (1989) 1021-1045] used D-EMT to derive a viscosity-concentration expression for non-Newtonian emulsions, in which variations among different oil-water emulsions were accommodated by fitting the value of an empirical solvation factor by matching the volume fraction at which the ratio of each emulsion was experimentally observed to have a viscosity 100 times greater than that of the pure solvent. When the particles in suspension have occluded volume due to solvation or flocculation, we show that the application of D-EMT to the problem becomes more ambiguous than these investigators have indicated. In addition, the resulting equations either do not account for the limiting behavior near the critical concentration, that is, the concentration at which the viscosity diverges, or they incorporate this critical behavior in an ad hoc way. We suggest an alternative viscosity-concentration equation for emulsions, based on work by Bicerano and coworkers [J. Bicerano, J.F. Douglas, D.A. Brune, J. Macromol. Sci., Rev. Macromol. Chem. Phys. C 39 (4) (1999) 561-642]. This alternative equation has the advantages that (1) its parameters are more closely related to physical properties of the suspension and (2) it recovers the correct limiting behavior both in the dilute limit and near the critical concentration for rigid particles. In addition, the equation can account for the deformability of flexible particles in the semidilute regime. The proposed equation is compared to the equation proposed by Pal and Rhodes.

AB The cytochrome c oxidise subunit I (COI) gene plays a pivotal role in a global effort to document biodiversity and continues to be a gene of choice in phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies. Due to increased attention on this gene as a species' barcode, quality control and sequence homology issues are re-emerging. Taylor and Knouft (2006) attempted to examine gonopod morphology in light of the subgeneric classification scheme within the freshwater crayfish genus Orconectes using COI sequences. However, their erroneous analyses were not only based Oil supposed mitochondrial sequences but also incorporated many questionable sequences due to the possible presence of numts and manual editing or sequencing errors. In fact, 22 of the 86 sequences were flagged as "COI-like" by GenBank clue to the presence of stop colons and indels in what should be the open reading frame of a conservative protein-coding gene. A subsequent search of "COI-like" accessions in GenBank turned up a multitude of taxa across Crustacea from published and unpublished studies thereby warranting this illustrated discussion about quality control, pseudogenes, and sequence composition.

AB Embryo development events were correlated with egg-case changes for the Aleutian skate Bathyraja aleutica and the Alaska skate Bathyraja parmifera. Yolk absorption underwent two phases: that of steady absorption during early development and that of rapid yolk absorption during the final development stages. Total length (L(T)) for 50% of the pre-hatching embryos egg-case jelly disappearance was 92.04 mm (range 81-102 mm) and 99.36 mm (range 81-100 mm) for B. aleutica and B. parmifera, respectively, allowing the inner chamber to open to seawater flow. The tail filament underwent three phases of growth: rapid elongation during early development (< 100 mm embryo L(T)), stasis of tail filament length during the remainder of embryo development and rapid absorption soon after hatching. Complete tail filament development coincided with the disappearance of egg-case jelly. Clasper buds first developed at embryos > 70 mm L(T) for both species and the sex ratio was 1:1 well before hatching. Egg cases that were devoid of an ova or developing embryo were c. 5.0 and 6.5% of the egg cases examined for B. aleutica and B. parmifera, respectively. Measurements showed that egg cases containing only egg jelly were smaller in both width and length than those possessing an ova. Embryo stages were punctuated with distinct events that correlated with egg case changes controlling the internal environment of the developing embryo.

AB Mycobacteriosis is a serious and often lethal disease of fish, affecting a wide range of species globally both in culture and wild settings. Caused by several species of the genus Mycobacterium, the disease has received considerable attention in recent years because of the discovery of new species in piscine hosts, epizootics in wild fisheries, and the ability of a few species to infect humans. The impact of this disease in aquaculture and the aquaria trade has been well reported and there is currently no widely accepted cure other than depopulation and facility disinfection. However, the impact on wild fisheries is poorly understood and may relate to species-specific interactions (host-pathogen) and possibly environmental stressors. In this review, much of what is known about mycobacteriosis in marine fish is summarized with particular attention to an epizootic in striped bass, Morone saxatilis, (Walbaum), in Chesapeake Bay, USA.

AB A field measurement program was undertaken as part NASA's Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX). Extensive snowpack and soil measurements were taken at field sites in Colorado over four study periods during the two study years (2002 and 2003). Measurements included snow depth, density, temperature, grain type and size, surface wetness, surface roughness, and canopy cover. Soil moisture measurements were made in the near-surface layer in snow pits. Measurements were taken in the Fraser valley, North Park, and Rabbit Ears Pass areas of Colorado. Sites were chosen to gain a wide representation of snowpack types and physiographies typical of seasonally snow-covered regions of the world. The data have been collected with rigorous protocol to ensure consistency and quality, and they have undergone several levels of quality assurance to produce a high-quality spatial dataset for continued cold lands hydrological research. The dataset is archived at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado.

AB A short-term meteorological database has been developed for the Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX). This database includes meteorological observations from stations designed and deployed exclusively for CLPX as well as observations available from other sources located in the small regional study area (SRSA) in north-central Colorado. The measured weather parameters include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, short- and longwave radiation, leaf wetness, snow depth, snow water content, snow and surface temperatures, volumetric soil moisture content, soil temperature, precipitation, water vapor flux, carbon dioxide flux, and soil heat flux. The CLPX weather stations include 10 main meteorological towers, 1 tower within each of the nine intensive study areas (ISA) and one near the local scale observation site (LSOS); and 36 simplified towers, with one tower at each of the four corners of each of the nine ISAs, which measured a reduced set of parameters. An eddy covariance system within the North Park mesocell study area (MSA) collected a variety of additional parameters beyond the 10 standard CLPX tower components. Additional meteorological observations come from a variety of existing networks maintained by the U. S. Forest Service, U. S. Geological Survey, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research. Temporal coverage varies from station to station, but it is most concentrated during the 2002/03 winter season. These data are useful in local meteorological energy balance research and for model development and testing. These data can be accessed through the National Snow and Ice Data Center Web site.

AB This paper describes the fabrication details of magnetic nano- and microstructures that enable a new class of multispectral magnetic resonance imaging agents. Magnetic field and associated geometrical fabrication constraints particular to these new multispectral contrast agents are described, and fabrication schemes based on both electrochemical deposition and thermal evaporation are presented. Relative advantages and disadvantages of top-down microfabrication approaches versus traditional bottom-up chemical synthesis routes are discussed with a focus on trade-offs between resulting microparticle functionality and fabrication process economy. It is shown that large numbers of contrast agent nano- or microstructures can be simultaneously fabricated, suggesting that top-down microfabricated contrast agents may represent an economical, attractive alternative to those based on chemically synthesized molecules or nanoparticles.

AB In this paper, we present Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrating the feasibility of using the focused ion beam based X-ray microanalysis technique (FIB-EDS) for the 3D elemental analysis of biological samples. In this study, we used a marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana as our model organism and NISTMonte for the Monte Carlo simulations. We explored several beam energies commonly used for the X-ray microanalysis to examine their effects on the resulting 3D elemental volume of the model organism. We also performed a preliminary study on the sensitivity of X-ray analysis for detecting nanoparticles in the model. For the conditions considered in this work, we show that the X-ray mapping performed using the 5 keV beam energy results in 3D elemental distributions that closely reflect the elemental distributions in the original model. At 5 keV, the depth resolution of the X-ray maps is about 250 nm for the model organism. We also show that the nanoparticles that are 50 nm in diameter or greater are easily located. Although much work is still needed in generating more accurate biological models and simulating experimental conditions relevant to these samples, our results indicate that FIB-EDS is a promising technique for the 3D elemental analysis of some biological specimens.

AB Molecular magnetic tunnel junctions are fabricated and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (JETS) provides unambiguous experimental evidence of the existence of molecular species in the devices. Tunneling spectroscopy is also used to investigate the spin-polarized inelastic tunneling processes in the molecular device. The results show that inelastic scattering due to molecular vibrations is likely the main cause of the observed JMR bias-dependence.

AB The noise power spectra in ZnO nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) were experimentally investigated and showed a classical 1/f dependence. A Hooge's constant of 5 x 10(-3) was estimated. This value is within the range reported for CMOS FETs with high-k dielectrics, supporting the concept that nanowires can be utilized for future beyond-CMOS electronic applications from the point of view of device noise properties. ZnO FETs measured in a dry O(2) environment displayed elevated noise levels compared to in vacuum. At low temperature, random telegraph signals are observed in the drain current.

AB Nearly one hundred New England lobstermen have installed temperature sensor's on their traps to record hourly values at fixed locations since 2001. These moorings are distributed primarily along the shelf edge in the northern Mid-Atlantic Bight and along the entire western edge of the Gulf of Maine in a range of water depths (1-300m). Variability associated with tidal, wind, seasonal, and nter-annual processes can be depicted at nearly all sites. Tidal variation, for example, at certain times of the year in many locations can be significant (>10 degrees C). Wind forcing is shown to significantly modify the seasonal cycle at many locations such as in Massachusetts Bay where a dramatic turnover occurs in the Fall. Inter-annual anomalies are derived by removing seasonal cycles. Comparisons between sites and between years are made. The years 2002 and 2006, for example, are documented as warmer in general than other years at nearly all sites, While a direct correlation between temperature variability and lobster catch is difficult to quantify in the data collected thus far, preliminary investigations document the relationships on a seasonal time scale.
The possibility of incorporating this network of moored sensors into a regional ocean observing system is addressed and the limitations are discussed. Given the minimum cost required to deploy the instrumentation and the sustained interest of the fishermen, the initiative provides a means to collect data continuously and a strategy for monitoring environmental change on climatic time scales.

AB Ocean water clarity affects the distribution of shortwave heating in the water column. In a one-dimensional time-mean sense, increased clarity would be expected to cool the surface and heat subsurface depths as shortwave radiation penetrates deeper into the water column. However, wind-driven upwelling, boundary currents, and the seasonal cycle of mixing can bring water heated at depth back to the surface. This warms the equator and cools the subtropics throughout the year while reducing the amplitude of the seasonal cycle of temperature in polar regions. This paper examines how these changes propagate through the climate system in a coupled model with an isopycnal ocean component focusing on the different impacts associated with removing shading from different regions. Increasing shortwave penetration along the equator causes warming to the south of the equator. Increasing it in the relatively clear gyres off the equator causes the Hadley cells to strengthen and the subtropical gyres to shift equatorward. Increasing shortwave penetration in the less clear regions overlying the oxygen minimum zones causes the cold tongue to warm and the Walker circulation to weaken. Increasing shortwave penetration in the high-latitude Southern Ocean causes an increase in the formation of mode water from subtropical water. The results suggest that more attention be paid to the processes distributing heat below the mixed layer.

AB Large-amplitude sea surface height (SSH) variations with a wave period of 70 days and a wavelength of about 700 km are detected in the Coral Sea centered along similar to 16 degrees S and in the North Fiji Basin along similar to 18 degrees S. These mesoscale eddy signals have a well-defined annual cycle with a maximum in December/January and a minimum in May/June. As the southeasterly trades intercept the island mountains of Vanuatu and Fiji, they generate localized wind stress curl dipoles, which in turn induce the eastward-flowing Coral Sea Countercurrent (CSCC) and Fiji Basin Countercurrent (FBCC) in the Coral Sea and the North Fiji Basin, respectively. The high eddy variability band along 16 degrees S is hypothesized in this study as resulting from barotropic instability due to the lateral shear between the eastward-flowing CSCC and its neighboring westward-flowing North Caledonian and North Vanuatu jets (NCJ and NVJ). Based on stability analyses on the background NCJ-CSCC-NVJ system, it is found that the most unstable mode of the system has an equivalent barotropic structure and is insensitive to the specification of the background flow's vertical shear. This barotropic instability hypothesis is also supported by observations; specifically, the Reynolds stresses inferred from the observed SSH data are tilted against the meridional shear of the background NCJ-CSCC-NVJ flow. As the intensity of the NCJ-CSCC-NVJ shear fluctuates with the season, the growth rate of instability changes, resulting in seasonal amplitude modulations in the observed 70-day eddy signals.

AB Photoluminescence of Si nanocrystals passivated by different alkanes (hexane, octane, and tridecane) was studied at room temperature. It is shown that the emission band shape is not affected by the length of the carbon chain in the alkanes used for passivation. A pronounced fine structure of the photoluminescence band consisting of peaks separated by 150-160 meV was observed under resonant excitation. The structure is interpreted by predominant contribution from Si nanocrystal groups with particular stable size/shape existing in addition to the previously reported nanocrystals with "magic" numbers of Si atoms. The contribution of these stable nanocrystals is revealed using selective resonant photoexcitation to the higher energy states in the discrete energy spectrum of such nanocrystals.

AB An acoustic record from Cross Seamount, southwest of Hawaii, revealed sounds characteristic of beaked whale echolocation at the same relative abundance year-around (270 of 356 days), occurring almost entirely at night. The most common sound had a linear frequency upsweep from 35 to 100 kHz (the bandwidth of recording), an interpulse interval of 0.11 s, and duration of at least 932 mu s. A less common upsweep sound with shorter interpulse interval and slower sweep rate was also present. Sounds matching Cuvier's beaked whale were not detected, and Blainville's beaked whale sounds were detected on only one occasion. (C) 2009 Acoustical Society of America. [DOI: 10.1121/1.3050317]

AB A multicomponent microstructure model is applied in ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering studies of two groups of plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). One group was sprayed from a single powder feedstock using controlled processing conditions. The other group included three different feedstock morphologies (obtained from different manufacturing methods), each with a similar particle size distribution and sprayed under the same average controlled processing conditions. The microstructure is quantitatively related to the feedstock morphology and processing conditions. Relationships are explored among these microstructures and the coating properties (e.g., thermal conductivity, elastic modulus). The degree of microstructural anisotropy is demonstrated to be pore-size dependent, being more pronounced for larger pores, and more sensitive to feedstock morphology (powder processing) than to spray processing. The microstructure analysis indicates two broad distributions of interlamellar pores, which combined, account for 70%-80% of the pore volume. The total porosity is found to increase with decreasing particle temperature or velocity. For all coatings, a negative linear relationship exists between thermal conductivity and total porosity. Comparison of the new analysis is made with earlier small-angle neutron scattering results, and implications are considered for a more general application of this metrology in TBC microstructure design.

AB We compared summer stream temperature patterns in 40 small forested watersheds in the Hoh and Clearwater basins in the western Olympic Peninsula, Washington, to examine correlations between previous riparian and basin-wide timber harvest activity and stream temperatures. Seven watersheds were unharvested, while the remaining 33 had between 25% and 100% of the total basin harvested, mostly within the last 40 years. Mean daily maximum temperatures were significantly different between the harvested and unharvested basins, averaging 14.5 degrees C and 12.1 degrees C, respectively. Diurnal fluctuations between harvested and unharvested basins were also significantly different, averaging 1.7 degrees C and 0.9 degrees C, respectively. Total basin harvest was correlated with average daily maximum temperature (r(2) = 0.39), as was total riparian harvest (r(2) = 0.32). The amount of recently clear-cut riparian forest (<20 year) within 600 m upstream of our monitoring sites ranged from 0% to 100% and was not correlated to increased stream temperatures. We used Akaike's Information Criteria (AIC) analysis to assess whether other physical variables could explain some of the observed variation in stream temperature. We found that variables related to elevation, slope, aspect, and geology explain between 5% and 14% more of the variability relative to the variability explained by percent of basin harvested (BasHarv), and that the BasHarv was consistently a better predictor than the amount of riparian forest harvested. While the BasHarv is in all of the models that perform well, the AIC analysis shows that there are many models with two variables that perform about the same and therefore it would be difficult to choose one as the best model. We conclude that adding additional variables to the model does not change the basic findings that there is a relatively strong relationship between maximum daily stream temperatures and the total amount of harvest in a basin, and strong, but slightly weaker relationship between maximum daily stream temperatures and the total riparian harvest in a basin. Seventeen of the 40 streams exceeded the Washington State Department of Ecology's (DOE) temperature criterion for waters defined as "core salmon and trout habitat'' (class AA waters). The DOE temperature criterion for class AA waters is any seven-day average of daily maximum temperatures in excess of 16 degrees C. The probability of a stream exceeding the water quality standard increased with timber harvest activity. All unharvested sites and five of six sites that had 25-50% harvest met DOEs water quality standard. In contrast, only nine of eighteen sites with 50-75% harvest and two of nine sites with >75% harvest met DOEs water quality standard. Many streams with extensive canopy closure, as estimated by the age of riparian trees, still had higher temperatures and greater diurnal fluctuations than the unharvested basins. This suggests that the impact of past forest harvest activities on stream temperatures cannot be entirely mitigated through the reestablishment of riparian buffers.

DT Article
ID INTERMEDIATE MODELS; FORMULATION; FIELDS
AB An exact solution of the primitive equations (PEs) and the corresponding exact solutions of the alternative balance (AB), geostrophic momentum (GM), and quasigeostrophic (QG) equations are presented. The PE solution illustrates how the temperature and horizontal vorticity fields evolve in a linear horizontal flow with constant deformation and vertical vorticity when the initial temperature field is also linear, as well as how ageostrophic circulations are produced. The other exact solutions show the errors produced by the various approximations and confirm that the AB solution is more accurate than the GM one and that the QG solution is almost always the most inexact. The utility of the Q vector and similar vectors is examined for each solution.
The PE solution verifies that in a hyperbolic wind field (i) the isotherms eventually parallel the outflow axis, (ii) the ageostrophic circulation ultimately becomes normal to the outflow axis, (iii) thermal-wind balance becomes established in the direction normal to the isotherms, and (iv) the rotational component of the vector frontogenetical function decays.

AB The zonal structure and dynamics of the dipolar patterns of intraseasonal variability in the extratropical atmosphere-namely, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the so-called annular modes of variability-are investigated in an idealized general circulation model. Particular attention is focused on the relationships linking the zonal structure of the stationary waves, synoptic variability (i.e., the storm tracks), and the zonal structure of the patterns of intraseasonal variability. Large-scale topography and diabatic anomalies are introduced to modify and concentrate the synoptic variability, establishing a recipe for a localized storm track. Comparison of the large-scale forcing, synoptic variability, and patterns of intraseasonal variability suggests a nonlinear relationship between the large-scale forcing and the variability. It is found that localized NAO-like patterns arise from the confluence of topographic and diabatic forcing and that the patterns are more localized than one would expect based on superposition of the responses to topography and thermal forcing alone.
The connection between the eddy life cycle of growth and decay and the localization of the intraseasonal variability is investigated. Both the termination of the storm track and the localization of the intraseasonal variability in the GCM depend on a difluent region of weak upper-level flow, where eddies break and dissipate rather than propagate energy forward through downstream development. The authors' interpretation suggests that the North Atlantic storm track and the NAO are two manifestations of the same phenomenon. Conclusions from the GCM study are critiqued by comparison with observations.

AB How locomotory performance is influenced by prior experience and behaviour is of adaptive significance. The relationship between kinematics, behaviour and performance was investigated by assessing a previously undescribed mode of climbing locomotion performed by adult Pacific lamprey. The lampreys were challenged with a 1.4 m vertical weir under an experimental setting. The majority of ascents used intermittent bouts of climbing (on an average approximately one-fifth of total ascent time) via powerful cycles of axial undulation at 0.35-1.25 Hz, interspersed with periods of stationary attachment with the oral disk. However, two of the most rapid ascents (57 and 85 s) occurred during one continuous bout at a low cycle frequency (c. 0.38 and 0.50 Hz). Probability of success and ascent time was positively related to experience climbing the weir. The ratio of time spent actively climbing to time spent resting decreased with distance travelled, indicating fatigue. Ascents with long periods of activity had correspondingly high durations of recovery. Moreover, time to ascend was positively related to the proportion of time spent stationary in ascents that took < 300 s. The findings suggest that modification of intermittent locomotion allows Pacific lamprey to compensate for variation in climbing performance and can extend distance travelled before exhaustion.

AB Size at maturity, fecundity, and reproductive periodicity were estimated for the spotted ratfish, Hydrolagus colliei (Lay and Bennett, 1839), off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington. Maximum body size and size at median maturity were greater for females than males. Skeletal muscle concentrations of the steroid hormones testosterone (T) and estradiol (E-2) predicted similar, but slightly smaller sizes at maturity than the morphological criterion. Stage of maturity for males was estimated identically using internal organs or external secondary sexual characters, thus allowing non-lethal maturity assessments. Size at median maturity was greater north of Point Conception for females, and north of Cape Mendocino for males. Peak parturition occurred from May to October, with increased concentrations of E-2 in skeletal muscle of females correlating with ovarian recrudescence during November to February. No significant seasonal trends in female T were apparent, but mean female 11-ketotestosterone (11KT) was 300% greater in April than any other month during the parturition season. There was a marginal evidence for increased number and size of ova with maternal size. Extrapolation of the hypothesized 6 to 8-month egg-laying season to observed mean parturition rates of captive specimens yielded an estimated annual fecundity of 19.5-28.9 egg cases. Differences in fecundity among higher taxonomic classifications of chondrichthyans were detected with chimaeriform fishes more fecund than lamniform, myliobatiform, squaliform, and rhinobatiform fishes, and less fecund than rajiform fishes.

AB We conducted two ship-based surveys of the nearshore ecosystem north of Livingston Island, Antarctica during 2-10 February 2005. Between the two surveys, a low-pressure system (963 mbar) passed through the area providing the opportunity to measure ecosystem parameters before and after a near gale. A ship-based multiple-frequency acoustic-backscatter survey was used to assess the distribution and relative abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). Net tows, hydrographic profiles, and meteorological data were collected to measure biological and physical processes that might affect the krill population. During the survey, the distribution and behavior of several krill predators [chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica), cape petrels (Daption capense), and Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)] were measured from the vessel by visual observations. The survey encompassed an area of roughly 2,500 km(2), containing two submarine canyons with one to the west and one to the east of Cape Shirreff, which had different abundances of krill and predators. Several aspects of the nearshore ecosystem changed after the near gale including: hydrography of the upper 100 m of the water column, phytoplankton biomass, the abundance and distribution of krill, and the distribution of some krill predators. Differences in these parameters were also measured between the two canyons. These changes in the physical and biological environment during the survey period are quantified and show that the ecosystem exhibited significant changes over relatively short spatial (tens of kilometers) and time (tens of hours) scales.

AB The central California coast is a highly productive, biodiverse region that is frequently affected by the toxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella. Despite the consistent presence of A. catenella along our coast, very little is known about the movement of its toxins through local marine food webs. In the present study, we investigated 13 species of commercial finfish and rock crabs harvested in Monterey Bay, California for the presence of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and compared them to the presence of A. catenella and PSTs in sentinel shellfish over a 3-year period. Between 2003 and 2005, A. catenella was noted in 55% of surface water samples (n = 307) and reached a maximum concentration of 17,387 cells L(-1) at our nearshore site in Monterey Bay. Peak cell densities occurred in the month of July and were associated with elevated shellfish toxicity in the summers of 2004 and 2005. When A. catenella was present, particulate PSTs were detected 71% of the time and reached a maximum concentration of 962 ng STXeq L(-1). Of the 13 species tested, we frequently detected PSTs in Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax; maximum 250 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)), northern anchovies (Engraulis mordax; maximum 23.2 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)), brown rock crabs (Cancer antennarius; maximum 49.3 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)) and red rock crabs (C. productus; 23.8 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)). PSTs were also present in one sample of Pacific herring (Clupea pallas; 13.3 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)) and one sample of English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus; 4.5 mu g STXeq 100 g(-1)), and not detected in seven other species of flatfish tested. The presence of PSTs in several of these organisms reveals that toxins produced by A. catenella are more prevalent in California food webs than previously thought and also indicates potential routes of toxin transfer to higher trophic levels.

AB The backgammon-type multi-wire gas proportional counter (MWPC) enables highly efficient detection of x-ray photons in two dimensions with good resolution and a wide range of energies and count rates. We develop a simulation which accurately describes the internal geometry of the detector and assists in the identification of several sources of nonlinear detector output. The sophistication of the model allows real solutions to be generated to minimize these effects. The result is an increase of 20% in the linear range, significant improvements to detector linearity, and improved output uniformity across both detector dimensions. These insights and methodology can be applied to other detector types and to future optimizations and developments of detector performance.

The authors found that the foam may be suitable for use as a density reference standard in the range below -400 Hounsfield units. This range is coincident with the density of lung tissue. The foam may be helpful in making the diagnosis of lung disease more systematic.

Instead of extracting only the red color channel, the authors are using all three color channels in the absorption spectrum of the EBT film to extend the dynamic dose range of the radiochromic film dosimetry system. By optimizing the dose range for each color channel, they obtained a system that has both precision and accuracy below 1.5%, and the optimized ranges are 0-4 Gy for the red channel, 4-50 Gy for the green channel, and above 50 Gy for the blue channel.

AB This paper discusses a fiducial approach for constructing uncertainty intervals for the distance between k normal means and the origin. When k = 2 this distance is equivalent to the magnitude of a complex-valued quantity. A simulation study was conducted to assess the frequentist performance of the proposed fiducial intervals and to compare their performance with the methods from the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement and from Supplement 1 to the 'Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement'-Propagation of Distributions using a Monte Carlo Method. Our results indicate that the fiducial intervals generally outperform the GUM and GUM Supplement 1 methods with respect to frequentist coverage probabilities. Computer programs for calculating the fiducial intervals, written using open-source software, are listed.

AB The properties of the sub-range inconsistency (SRI or Type-I non-uniqueness) of the standard platinum resistance thermometer (SPRT) sub-ranges of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) are investigated. Mathematically, SRI has the form of an interpolation error with zeros at each of the fixed points shared by the two interpolating equations, and a magnitude dependent on the differences in the ratios (W(r) - 1)/(W - 1) for each of the fixed points, where W is the resistance ratio R(T)/R(0.01 degrees C) and Wr is the reference resistance ratio defined by ITS-90. The calibration results for a set of 60 SPRTs were analysed to determine the SRI for the water-zinc and water-aluminium sub-ranges. The maximum SRI occurs near 93.15 degrees C, and has an average value of 0.12 mK and a standard deviation of 0.48 mK. The reciprocal of the ratio (W(r) - 1)/(W - 1), which is proportional to the sensitivity of the SPRT, was found to be 1.0 +/- 0.0004 for all 60 SPRTs, and was within 0.00005 for all fixed points for any one SPRT. This suggests that a single constraint on the value of the ratio might be a more useful and discerning SPRT-quality constraint than the current three ITS-90 constraints.

STATISTICS; GOLDSTEIN; INTERVALS; ARTICLES; BERGER
AB A recent contribution to this journal describes a particular situation of uncertainty assessment where probabilistically symmetric coverage intervals, produced in accordance with the Supplement 1 to the GUM, cover the measurand with frequency much smaller than their nominal coverage probability, in a long sequence of simulated repetitions of the measurement process and corresponding uncertainty assessment, in each of which the value of the measurand is assumed known.
These findings motivate our contribution to the ongoing, accelerating discussion of that Supplement, which began years before its publication, and has only gained momentum with the recent release of its final form.
We begin by suggesting that the coverage intervals whose frequentist performance has been found to be poor, indeed are coverage intervals for a quantity different from the measurand that is the focus of attention, and we offer a fresh viewpoint where from to appreciate the situation.
Next, we point out that the Monte Carlo method for uncertainty propagation that is the core contribution of Supplement 1 is valid under very general conditions, indeed much more general than the conditions Supplement 1 lists as sufficient for its valid application.
To produce a coverage interval according to the Supplement 1 involves two steps: generating a sample of values of the measurand via a Monte Carlo procedure and then summarizing this sample into a coverage interval. Although the Supplement favours probabilistically symmetric intervals, it also states explicitly that other prescriptions are tenable. With this in mind, finally we explain that the choice of summarization can be interpreted as reflecting a priori beliefs about the measurand.
In the particular case under consideration in the motivating contribution, where the measurand is known to be non-negative, the choice of either a probabilistically symmetric interval or an interval whose left endpoint is 0 would correspond to two quite different prior beliefs. Considering this lesson, we suggest that, in all cases, the best course of action is to adopt a Bayesian approach that naturally reveals all participating assumptions and beliefs openly, and makes all of them accessible to examination and criticism, as befits every scientific procedure.

AB The effect of film thickness on the resistivity of thin, evaporated copper films (approximately 10-150 nm thick) was determined from sheet resistance, film thickness, and mean grain-size measurements by using four-point probe, profilometer, and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, respectively. The resistivity of these films increased with decreasing film thickness in a manner that agreed well with the dependence given by a versatile simulation program, published earlier, using the measured values for the mean grain size and fitting parameters for surface and grain boundary scattering. Measurements of the change in sheet resistance with temperature of these films and the known change in resistivity with temperature for pure, bulk copper were used to calculate the thickness of these films electrically by using Matthiessen's rule (this is often referred to as an "electrical thickness"). These values agreed to within 3 nm of those obtained physically with the profilometer. Hence, Matthiessen's rule can continue to be used to measure the thickness of a copper film and, by inference, the cross-sectional area of a copper line for dimensions well below the mean free path of electrons in copper at room temperature (39 nm).

AB We use genetic measures of relatedness and observations of female bonding to examine the demographic signature of historically heavy poaching of a population of free-ranging African elephants. We collected dung samples to obtain DNA and observed behaviour from 102 elephant families over a 25-month period in 2003-2005 in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. Poaching reduced the population by 75% in the decade prior to the 1989 ivory trade ban; park records indicate that poaching dropped significantly in Mikumi following the ban. Using 10 microsatellite loci, DNA was genotyped in 203 elephants and pair-wise relatedness was calculated among adult females within and between groups. The Mikumi population is characterized by small group size, considerable variation in group relatedness, females with no first-order adult relatives and females that form only weak social bonds. We used gene-drop analysis and a model of a genetically intact pedigree to compare our observed Mikumi group relatedness to a simulated genetically intact unpoached expectation. The majority of groups in Mikumi contain 2 to 3 adults; of these, 45% were classified as genetically disrupted. Bonding, quantified with a pair-wise association index, was significantly correlated with relatedness; however only half of the females formed strong bonds with other females, and relatedness was substantially lower for a given bond strength as compared to an unpoached population. Female African elephants without kin demonstrated considerable behavioural plasticity in this disturbed environment, grouping with other females lacking kin, with established groups, or remaining alone, unable to form any stable adult female-bonds. We interpret these findings as the remaining effect of poaching disturbance in Mikumi, despite a drop in the level of poaching since the commercial trade in ivory was banned 15 years ago.

CHARACTERISTICS
AB The structure and evolution of rapidly intensifying Hurricane Guillermo (1997) is examined using airborne Doppler radar observations. In this first part, the low-azimuthal-wavenumber component of the vortex is presented. Guillermo's intensification occurred in an environmental flow with 7-8 m s(-1) of deep-layer vertical shear. As a consequence of the persistent vertical shear forcing of the vortex, convection was observed primarily in the downshear left quadrant of the storm. The greatest intensification during the similar to 6-h Doppler observation period coincided with the formation and cyclonic rotation of several particularly strong convective bursts through the left-of-shear semicircle of the eyewall. Some of the strongest convective bursts were triggered by azimuthally propagating low-wavenumber vorticity asymmetries. Mesoscale budget analyses of axisymmetric angular momentum and relative vorticity within the eyewall are presented to elucidate the mechanisms contributing to Guillermo's structural evolution during this period. The observations support a developing conceptual model of the rapidly intensifying, vertically sheared hurricane in which shear-forced mesoscale ascent in the downshear eyewall is modulated by internally generated vorticity asymmetries yielding episodes of anomalous intensification.

AB Aims: To determine if commercial sunscreens contain distinct nanoparticles and to evaluate analytical methods for their ability to detect and characterize nanoparticles in unmodified topical products using commercial sunscreens as a model. Methods: A total of 20 methods were evaluated for their ability to detect and characterize nanoparticles in unmodified commercial sunscreens. Results: Variable-pressure scanning-electron microscopy, atomic-force microscopy, laser-scanning confocal microscopy and X-ray diffraction were found to be viable and complementary methods for detecting and characterizing nanoparticles in sunscreens. Conclusions: it was determined that several of the commercial sunscreens contained distinct nanciparticles. No one method was able to completely characterize nanciparticles in the unmodified products but the viable methods provided complementary information regarding the nanoparticles and how they were interacting with the sunscreen matrix.

TI Rapid photochemical production of ozone at high concentrations in a
rural site during winter
SO NATURE GEOSCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
AB Ozone is an air pollutant that can cause severe respiratory health effects. Photochemical ozone production near the Earth's surface is considered a summertime, urban phenomenon(1-3), where hourly average ozone concentrations can exceed 150 p.p.b., compared with background values of about 50 p.p.b., and wintertime ozone concentrations in the US are usually in the range of 35-50 p.p.b. (refs 1-3). Here we report rapid, diurnal photochemical production of ozone during air temperatures as low as 17 degrees C, in the rural Upper Green River Basin, Wyoming, in the vicinity of the Jonah-Pinedale Anticline natural gas field. We find that hourly average ozone concentrations rise from 10-30 p.p.b. at night to more than 140 p.p.b. shortly after solar noon, under the influence of a stagnant, high-pressure system that promotes cold temperatures, low wind speeds and limited cloudiness. Under these conditions, an intense, shallow temperature inversion develops in the lowest 100 m of the atmosphere, which traps high concentrations of ozone precursors at night. During daytime, photolytic ozone production then leads to the observed high concentrations. We suggest that similar ozone production during wintertime is probably occurring around the world under comparable industrial and meteorological conditions.

AB The subventricular zone (SVZ) is a continual source of neural progenitors throughout adulthood. Many of the animal models designed to study the migration of these cells from the ventricle to places of interest like the olfactory bulb or an injury site require histology to localize precursor cells. Here, it is demonstrated that up to 30% of the neural progenitors that migrate along the rostral migratory stream (RMS) in an adult rodent can be labeled for MRI via intraventricular injection of micron sized particles of iron oxide (MPIOs). The precursors migrating from the SVZ along the RMS were found to populate the olfactory bulb with all three types of neural cells; neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. In all cases 10-30% of these cells were labeled in the RMS en route to the olfactory bulb. Ara- C, an anti- mitotic agent, eliminated precursor cells at the SVZ, RMS, and olfactory bulb and also eliminated the MRI detection of the precursors. This indicates that the MRI signal detected is due to progenitor cells that leave the SVZ and is not due to nonspeci. c diffusion of MPIOs. Using MRI to visualize neural progenitor cell behavior in individual animals during plasticity or disease models should be a useful tool, especially in combination with other information that MRI can supply.

AB Clustering methods for population mixture analysis assign individuals probabilistically to Populations based on their multilocus genotype data. An assumption of the methods is that loci satisfy Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) conditions within populations. We observed that violating this assumption by including loci measured as deviating from HWE in baseline samples for the mixture analysis at times introduced extra structure into the mixture sample, leading to biased composition estimates and overestimation of the number of populations. Provided that samples front at least some contributing populations are available and that baseline samples can safely be assumed to come from single populations. then a conservative approach to mixture analysis would be to include only those characters that conform to HWE in the baseline samples, but this approach could result in a loss of resolving power. To address this problem, we outlined an ad hoc method of selecting loci for their use in mixture analysis based on individual analyses of baseline samples. A subset of loci is selected for mixture analysis based on whether the loci contribute additional structure in the baseline populations, assuming that (1) baseline samples come from single populations and (2) any subpopulation structure resulting from the inclusion of loci measured as deviating from HWE is artifactual. Given that the final set may include only a few loci, the method would be most useful for small problems. We demonstrated the method on two sets of microsatellite loci (10 and 17 loci) genotyped in steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss sampled at Sashin Creek in southeast Alaska. The method for selecting loci for mixture analysis generally reduced bias in and improved the precision of composition estimates and reduced the overestimation of the number of populations.

AB In this paper, the use of tunnel junctions as sensors for estimating the potential energy sputtering yield of highly charged ions (HCIs) incident on ultra-thin insulating films is experimentally explored. HCIs are known to strongly ablate insulating materials upon collision by destabilizing the solid's chemical structure in the region of impact and producing a mass loss, referred to as potential energy sputtering. In previous work, increased conductance of tunnel junctions due to highly charged ion irradiation was shown while demonstrating that tunnelling remains the dominant transport mechanism. These studies indicate that the conductance increases linearly with the number of HCIs and so, for any given tunnel barrier recipe and HCI charge state, the conductance per HCI can be found. Since the conductance of a tunnel junction is exponentially sensitive to its thickness, the increase in conductance can be used to evaluate an effective tunnel junction thickness reduction, which, in turn, can be explored as a metric for the potential energy sputtering of the tunnel barrier. These tunnel junction measurements provide new information about the nano-features formed on insulators by HCIs, and this paper considers the possibility of using these data to estimate potential energy sputtering. A method for relating the increased conductance to a mass loss is considered and compared against other potential energy sputtering measurements. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB In this paper, we attempt to shed light on a probable cause of cultural change via a new avenue of approach. In brief, the paper represents a micro-study that addresses the Ahrensburgian culture group during the close of the Late Palaeolithic in north central Europe, and its relationship to the Hensbacka group found in central Bohuslan on the coast of western Sweden. Although we do not disagree that environmental conditions are a 'prime mover' of cultural change, we hold that it is not the only 'mover'. In addition, we also discuss the distinct possibility that the term 'microlithization' cannot be used as a synonym for the Mesolithic. The foundation of our micro-study is based on interdisciplinary concepts from the fields of archaeology, economic anthropology, geosciences, and marine zoology.

AB We demonstrate two types of basic Bloch vector rotations in thulium ion ensemble embedded in yttrium aluminum garnet crystal based on our previous work that designed the appropriate Hamiltonians driving Bloch vector rotations through geometric evolution in two-level atom. The angles of the geometric rotations were controlled by the relative phases of the laser pulses driving the rotations. The rotation angles were measured using photon echoes and compared with the corresponding theoretical values. The operation fidelity was calculated for both demonstrated rotations that resulted in average values of 94.00 and 99.96%, respectively. The schemes to improve the operation fidelity will be discussed.

AB Monte Carlo and molecular-dynamics simulations are employed in a study of the equilibrium structural and thermodynamic properties of crystal-melt interfaces in a model binary alloy system described by Lennard-Jones interatomic interactions with zero size mismatch, a ratio of interaction strengths equal to 0.75, and interspecies interactions given by Lorentz-Berthelot mixing rules. This alloy system features a simple lens-type solid-liquid phase diagram at zero pressure, with nearly ideal solution thermodynamics in the solid and liquid solution phases. Equilibrium density profiles are computed for (100)-oriented crystal-melt interfaces and are used to derive the magnitudes of the relative adsorption coefficients (Gamma((j))(i)) at six temperatures along the solidus/liquidus boundary. The values for Gamma((2))(1), the relative adsorption of the lower melting-point species (1) with respect to the higher melting point species (2), are found to vary monotonically with temperature, with values that are positive and in the range of a few atomic percent per interface site. By contrast, values of Gamma((1))(2) display a much more complex temperature dependence with a large peak in the magnitude of the relative adsorption more than ten times larger than those found for Gamma((2))(1). The capillary fluctuation method is used to compute the temperature dependence of the magnitudes and anisotropies of the crystal-melt interfacial free energy (gamma). At all temperatures we obtain the ordering gamma(100)>gamma(110)>gamma(111) for the high-symmetry (100), (110), and (111) interface orientations. The values of gamma monotonically decrease with decreasing temperature (i.e., increasing concentration of the lower melting-point species). Using the calculated temperature-dependent values of gamma and Gamma((2))(1) in the Gibbs adsorption theorem, we estimate that roughly 25% of the temperature dependence of gamma for the alloys can be attributed to interface adsorption, while the remaining contribution arises from the relative excess entropy S-xs((2)).

interlayer exchange coupling in spin valves
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B

DT Article

ID TUNNEL-JUNCTIONS; OSCILLATIONS; LAYER
AB We study how a bias voltage changes magnetic exchange interactions. We derive a general expression for magnetic exchange interactions for systems coupled to reservoirs under a bias potential and apply it to spin valves. We find that for metallic systems, the interlayer exchange coupling shows a weak oscillatory dependence on the bias potential. For tunneling systems, we find a quadratic dependence on the bias potential and derive an approximate expression for this bias dependence for a toy model. We give general conditions for when the interlayer exchange coupling is a quadratic function of bias potential.

TI First-order magnetic and structural phase transitions in Fe1+ySexTe1-x
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B

DT Article
ID SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; DIAGRAM; SYSTEMS; FE2TE3; METAL; TE
AB We use bulk magnetic susceptibility, electronic specific heat, and neutron scattering to study structural and magnetic phase transitions in Fe1+ySexTe1-x. Fe1.068Te exhibits a first-order phase transition near 67 K with a tetragonal-to-monoclinic structural transition and simultaneously develops a collinear antiferromagnetic (AF) order responsible for the entropy change across the transition. Systematic studies of the FeSe1-xTex system reveal that the AF structure and lattice distortion in these materials are different from those of FeAs-based pnictides. These results call into question the conclusions of present density-functional calculations, where FeSe1-xTex and FeAs-based pnictides are expected to have similar Fermi surfaces and therefore the same spin-density wave AF order.

AB We have studied magnetotransport in organic-inorganic hybrid multilayer junctions. In these devices, the organic semiconductor tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) formed a spacer layer between ferromagnetic (FM) Co and Fe layers. The thickness of the Alq(3) layer was in the range of 50-150 nm. Positive magnetoresistance (MR) was observed at 4.2 K in a current perpendicular to plane geometry, and this effect persisted up to room temperature. The devices' microstructure was studied by x-ray reflectometry, Auger electron spectroscopy, and polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR). The films show well-defined layers with modest average chemical roughness (3-5 nm) at the interface between the Alq(3) and the surrounding FM layers. Reflectometry shows that larger MR effects are associated with smaller FM/Alq(3) interface width (both chemical and magnetic) and a magnetically dead layer at the Alq(3)/Fe interface. The PNR data also show that the Co layer, which was deposited on top of the Alq(3), adopts a multidomain magnetic structure at low field and a perfect antiparallel state is not obtained. The origins of the observed MR are discussed and attributed to spin-coherent transport. A lower bound for the spin-diffusion length in Alq(3) was estimated as 43 +/- 5 nm at 80 K. However, the subtle correlations between microstructure and magnetotransport indicate the importance of interfacial effects in these systems.

AB We studied the structural and physical properties of powder samples of the high-pressure LaMn7O12 compound by means of neutron diffraction, dc magnetization, specific-heat, and dc electrical resistivity measurements. Our structural refinement shows that LaMn7O12 is the counterpart with quadruple perovskite structure of the well-known simple-perovskite LaMnO3 because both compounds are single-valent Mn3+ systems sharing a similar pseudocubic network of buckled corner-sharing MnO6 octahedra distorted by the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect. Besides this similarity, LaMn7O12 exhibits the following structural differences: (i) a monoclinic I2/m, instead of orthorhombic Pnma, structure; (ii) a much larger buckling of the MnO6 octahedra, corresponding to a Mn-O-Mn bond angle as small as psi=180 degrees-phi=136 degrees. At T-N,T-B=78 K, the neutron data show evidence of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure of the octahedral Mn3+ ions (B sites), which consists of ferromagnetically coupled antiferromagnetic ac planes. This structure, commonly referred to as C type, markedly differs from the A-type structure of LaMnO3, which consists of antiferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic ac planes. We argue that this difference may be due not only to the different buckling, because the magnetic superexchange interaction is sensitive to phi, but also to the existence of two distinct JT distorted B sites, a characteristic feature of the quadruple perovskite structure not found in LaMnO3. A further feature of this structure is the presence of a pseudocubic sublattice of JT Mn3+ ions with square coordination (A(') site) in addition to the B-site sublattice. At T-N,A(')=21 K, the A(') sublattice of LaMn7O12 is found to form a second AFM structure consisting of AFM coupled ferromagnetic planes. This additional ordering appears to occur independently of that of the B sublattice. Finally, we observed a thermally activated insulating behavior of the resistivity similar to that previously reported for LaMnO3, which confirms the hypothesis that the superexchange interaction is predominant in single-valent systems while the double-exchange interaction is relevant only in mixed-valence or disordered systems.

AB Volumetric adsorption and quasielastic neutron scattering are used to study the diffusion and thermodynamics of sorbed H(2) in the graphite intercalation compound KC(24). A sorption enthalpy of 8.5 kJ/mol at zero coverage is determined from H(2) adsorption isotherms. From measurements of total elastic-neutron-scattering intensity as a function of temperature, a melting transition of the H(2) adsorbate is observed at 35 K for KC(24)(H(2))(1). Quasielastic-neutron-scattering (QENS) spectra reveal distinct slow- and fast-H(2)-diffusion processes which exist simultaneously at temperatures above the transition point. The temperature dependence of the characteristic diffusion times follows an Arrhenius relation tau=tau(0) exp(E(a)/T), where tau(fast)(0)=1.0 +/- 0.1 ps, tau(slow)(0)=21 +/- 2 ps, E(a)(fast)=156 +/- 5 K, and E(a)(slow)=189 +/- 5 K. The fast-diffusion process is attributable to individual motions of H(2) molecules in a static potassium structure, and the slow-diffusion process could be attributable to fluctuations in H(2) particle density correlated with jumps of potassium atoms. The QENS spectra at low Q are used to discuss the dimensionality of the diffusion process.

AB A parametric interatomic potential is constructed for graphene. The potential energy consists of two parts: a bond energy function and a radial interaction energy function. The bond energy function is based on the Tersoff-Brenner potential model. It includes angular terms and explicitly accounts for flexural deformation of the lattice normal to the plane of graphene. It determines the cohesive energy of graphene and its equilibrium lattice constant. The radial energy function has been chosen such that it does not contribute to the binding energy or the equilibrium lattice constant but contributes to the interatomic force constants. The range of interaction of each atom extends up to its fourth-neighbor atoms in contrast to the Tersoff-Brenner potential, which extends only up to second neighbors. The parameters of the potential are obtained by fitting the calculated values to the cohesive energy, lattice constant, elastic constants, and phonon frequencies of graphene. The values of the force constants between an atom and other atoms that are within its fourth-neighbor distance are calculated. Analytical expressions are given for the elastic constants and the flexural rigidity of graphene. The flexural rigidity of the graphene lattice is found to be 2.13 eV, which is much higher than 0.797 eV calculated earlier using the Tersoff-Brenner potential.

AB On November 15, 2006, Crescent City in Del Norte County, California was hit by a tsunami generated by a M-w 8.3 earthquake in the central Kuril Islands. Strong currents that persisted over an eight-hour period damaged floating docks and several boats and caused an estimated $9.2 million in losses. Initial tsunami alert bulletins issued by the West Coast Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) in Palmer, Alaska were cancelled about three and a half hours after the earthquake, nearly five hours before the first surges reached Crescent City. The largest amplitude wave, 1.76-meter peak to trough, was the sixth cycle and arrived over two hours after the first wave. Strong currents estimated at over 10 knots, damaged or destroyed three docks and caused cracks in most of the remaining docks. As a result of the November 15 event, WCATWC changed the definition of Advisory from a region-wide alert bulletin meaning that a potential tsunami is 6 hours or further away to a localized alert that tsunami water heights may approach warning- level thresholds in specific, vulnerable locations like Crescent City. On January 13, 2007 a similar Kuril event occurred and hourly conferences between the warning center and regional weather forecasts were held with a considerable improvement in the flow of information to local coastal jurisdictions. The event highlighted the vulnerability of harbors from a relatively modest tsunami and underscored the need to improve public education regarding the duration of the tsunami hazards, improve dialog between tsunami warning centers and local jurisdictions, and better understand the currents produced by tsunamis in harbors.

AB An integral part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) expansion project is the addition of five cold neutron guide tubes serving multiple experimental stations in an expanded guide hall. The guides have curved-straight arrangements in the horizontal plane, employing horizontally or vertically defocusing and focusing sections in some cases to improve transmission efficiency or for beam reshaping. The horizontally curved sections eliminate direct lines of sight between the source and the experimental stations, and the outer (concave) surfaces generally have higher critical angles than the inner (convex) surfaces. These features result in well-filtered cold neutron beams with no intensity losses at shorter wavelengths with respect to curved guides having the higher critical angle coatings on both surfaces. For all guides the critical angle of the outer coating of the curved section is selected to achieve a desirable characteristic wavelength, consistent with the instrument requirements. On guides where the scattering-plane beam divergence must be strictly limited, the inner radial coatings of the curved sections and the side coatings and lengths of the final straight sections are chosen to produce the desired beam divergence while the outer radial coating is selected so as to obtain a spatial-angular uniformity of the transmitted beam that is not achievable using a curved guide alone. The long-wavelength transmission of such guides tends to exceed that of equivalent straight guides using crystal filters.

AB In May 1998, a large number of forest fires in the region of southern Mexico and Central America, released huge amounts of contaminants that were transported over the Pacific Ocean, then, due to a change in air current direction, the primary (ontaminants and their secondary pollutant products impacted central New Mexico after 5 to 6 days transport time The total distance traveled was approximately 3000 km from the fire source Background measurements of a number of key chemical markers were taken before and during the haze incursion at a site located at Socorro NM A number of days before the haze episode in NM, large areas of Texas, Louisiana and the lower Mississippi River valley were also inundated by smoke from the fires The sum of carbonyl compounds was 5 6 ppbv before and 15 5 ppbv during the smoke even, the sum of carboxylic acids went from 7 2 ppbv to 8 6 ppbv, C1-C2 hydrocarbons went from 270 ppbv to 133 ppbv, particulate NO(3)(-) went from 0 1 to 1 3 mu g/m(3), SO(4)(-2) went from 1 2 to 3 4 mu g/m(3), and PM(10) concentrations remained between the range measured before the episode (15-20 mu g/m(3)) The results indicate the significant impact on a rural site from long range transport of primary and secondary smoke pollutants from biomass burning events and the importance of these species being primarily in the gaseous and fine aerosol size range These fine aerosols are important as climate forcing agents and in reducing air quality and visibility

AB Accurate, consistent, and stable observations from different satellite missions are crucial for climate change detection. In this study, we use Global Positioning System (GPS) Radio Occultation (RO) data from the early phase of the FORMOSAT-3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) mission, which was successfully launched on 15 April 2006, to inter-calibrate Temperature in the Lower Stratosphere (TLS) taken from Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) microwave measurements from different satellites for potential improvements of stratospheric temperature trend analysis. Because of the limited number of COSMIC soundings in the early phase of the mission, these results are considered preliminary. In this study, we use COSMIC RO data to simulate microwave brightness temperatures for comparison with AMSU Ch9 measurements (e.g., TLS) on board NOAA15, 16, and 18. Excellent correlation was found between synthetic COSMIC brightness temperatures (Tbs) and Tbs from NOAA15, NOAA 16, and NOAA18, respectively. However, systematic differences on the order of 0.7 to 2 K were found between COSMIC and AMSU observations over Antarctica. Our results demonstrate that synthetic COSMIC Tbs are very useful in identifying inter-satellite offsets among AMSU measurements from different satellites. To demonstrate the long-term stability of GPS RO data, we compare COSMIC dry temperature profiles to those from collocated CHAMP profiles, where CHAMP was launched in 2001. The fact that the CHAMP and COSMIC dry temperature difference between 500 and 10 hPa ranges from -0.35 K (at 10 hPa) to 0.25 K (at 30 hPa) and their mean difference is about -0.034 K demonstrates the long-term stability of GPS RO signals. In order to demonstrate the potential usage of the GPS RO calibrated AMSU Tbs to inter-calibrate other overlapping AMSU Tbs, we examine the uncertainty of the calibration coefficients derived from AMSU-GPS RO pairs. We found the difference between COSMIC calibrated AMSU Tbs and those from CHAMP to be in the range of +/-0.07 K with a 0.1 K standard deviation. This demonstrates the robustness of the calibration coefficients found from AMSU-GPS RO pairs and shows the potential to use the calibrated AMSU Tbs to calibrate other overlapping AMSU Tbs where no coincident GPS RO, data are available.

AB The Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (TIP) on the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC) characterizes the nighttime ionosphere using 135.6-nm radiative recombination emission. TIP measures horizontal structure of the ionosphere with high precision and high spatial resolution. Latitudinal, longitudinal, and temporal distribution of the nighttime ionosphere is specified. We present a review of ionospheric observations made with TIP during the first five months of operation. Comparisons are made with other ionospheric sensors in order to validate the TIP observations and to demonstrate TIP resolution and sensitivity performance. Equatorial anomalies observed by TIP are compared with estimates of the E x B vertical drift during the post-sunset pre-reversal enhancement in the Peruvian sector. Low latitude irregularity structures observed by TIP are compared with measurements from ground-based sensors including: imaging photometers, ionosonde, and UHF scintillation receivers. Detailed measurements of low latitude density depletion depth and width are provided. Global ionospheric morphology observed by TIP is compared with similar observations by COSMIC radio occultation, and the GAIM model. The complexity of the underlying neutral winds is revealed by the TIP ionospheric morphology.

AB Short-range quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) and probabilistic QPFs (PQPFs) are investigated for a time-lagged multimodel ensemble forecast system. One of the advantages of such an ensemble forecast system is its low-cost generation of ensemble members. In conjunction with a frequently cycling data assimilation system using a diabatic initialization [such as the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS)], the time-lagged multimodel ensemble system offers a particularly appealing approach for QPF and PQPF applications. Using the NCEP stage IV precipitation analyses for verification, 6-h QPFs and PQPFs from this system are assessed during the period of March-May 2005 over the west-central United States. The ensemble system was initialized by hourly LAPS runs at a horizontal resolution of 12 km using two mesoscale models, including the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) and the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the Advanced Research WRF (ARW) dynamic core. The 6-h PQPFs from this system provide better performance than the NCEP operational North American Mesoscale (NAM) deterministic runs at 12-km resolution, even though individual members of the MM5 or WRF models perform comparatively worse than the NAM forecasts at higher thresholds and longer lead times. Recalibration was conducted to reduce the intensity errors in time-lagged members. In spite of large biases and spatial displacement errors in the MM5 and WRF forecasts, statistical verification of QPFs and PQPFs shows more skill at longer lead times by adding more members from earlier initialized forecast cycles. Combing the two models only reduced the forecast biases. The results suggest that further studies on time-lagged multimodel ensembles for operational forecasts are needed.

TI On High Winds and Foehn Warming Associated with Mountain-Wave Events in
the Western Foothills of the Southern Appalachian Mountains
SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING

DT Article
ID WASHINGTON CASCADE MOUNTAINS; CYCLE; SIDE
AB Extremely high winds of 40-49 m s(-1) [90-110 miles per hour (mph)] were reported across the western foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains on 22-23 December 2004, 17 October 2006, 24-25 February 2007, and 1 March 2007. The high winds in all four of these events were determined to be the result of mountain waves, as strong southeast winds became perpendicular to the mountains with a stable boundary layer present below 750 hPa and a veering wind profile that increased with height. Adiabatic warming of the descending southeasterly winds was also observed at the Knoxville airport during all four events (although of varying intensities), with the 850-hPa air mass immediately upwind of the Smoky Mountains determined to be the source region of these foehn winds. An interesting similarity among these four events was the location of the strongest 850-hPa winds northwest of the region, with a rapidly decreasing speed gradient observed over the mountains. These 850-hPa winds northwest of the mountains were also stronger than the 700-hPa winds in the region. It was hypothesized that strong low-level divergence developed in the foothills, as the stronger 850-hPa winds on the western side accelerated away from the mountains while the mountains prevented a rapid return flow from the eastern side. This low-level divergence likely helped to further strengthen the mountain-wave-induced mesolow and high winds in the western foothills.
A 12-yr climatology of high wind events induced by mountain waves at Cove Mountain was also constructed. This climatology revealed that these events occurred primarily at night between November and March. Composite maps of mountain-wave events that produced warning-level and advisory-level winds revealed that an axis of stronger 850-hPa winds was typically located west of the mountains (away from the foothills). This finding (using reanalysis data instead of model data) further suggested that low-level divergence normally contributed to the intensity of mountain-wave-induced mesolows and winds in the western foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains.

AB Between 2100 UTC 11 February 2003 and 0200 UTC 12 February 2003, a line of thunderstorms passed swiftly through parts of eastern Iowa and into north-central Illinois. Although this storm somewhat resembled a warm season, line-type mesoscale convective system, it was unique in that the thunderstorm winds exceeded the severe criterion (50 kt; 25.7 m s(-1)) during a snowburst. While the parent snowband deposited only 4 cm of snow, it did so in a short period and created a treacherous driving situation because of the ensuing near-whiteout conditions caused by strong winds that reached the National Weather Service severe criteria, as the line moved across central Illinois. Such storms in the cold season rarely occur and are largely undocumented; the present work seeks to fill this void in the existing literature.
While this system superficially resembled a more traditional warm season squall line, deeper inspection revealed a precipitation band that failed to conform to that paradigm. Radar analysis failed to resolve any of the necessary warm season signatures, as maximum reflectivities of only 40-45 dBZ reached no higher than 3.7 km above ground level. The result was low-topped convection in a highly sheared environment. Moreover, winds in excess of 50 kt (25.7 m s(-1)) occurred earlier in the day without thunderstorm activity, upstream of the eventual severe thundersnow location. Perhaps of greatest importance is the fact that the winds in excess of the severe criterion were more the result of boundary layer mixing, and largely coincident with the parent convective line. This event was a case of forced convection, dynamically linked to its parent cold front via persistent frontogenesis and the convective instability associated with it; winds sufficient for a severe thunderstorm warning, while influenced by convection, resulted from high momentum mixing downward through a dry-adiabatic layer.

AB During a 5-yr period of study from 2000 to 2004, slightly more than 10% of all National Weather Service (NWS) tornado warnings were issued either simultaneously as the tornado formed (i.e., with zero lead time) or minutes after initial tornado formation but prior to tornado dissipation (i.e., with "negative'' lead time). This study examines why these tornadoes were not warned in advance, and what climate, storm morphology, and sociological factors may have played a role in delaying the issuance of the warning. This dataset of zero and negative lead time warnings are sorted by their F-scale ratings, geographically by region and weather forecast office (WFO), hour of the day, month of the year, tornado-to-radar distance, county population density, and number of tornadoes by day, hour, and order of occurrence. Two key results from this study are (i) providing advance warning on the first tornado of the day remains a difficult challenge and (ii) the more isolated the tornado event, the less likelihood that an advance warning is provided. WFOs that experience many large-scale outbreaks have a lower proportion of warnings with negative lead time than WFOs that experience many more isolated, one-tornado or two-tornado warning days. Monthly and geographic trends in lead time are directly impacted by the number of multiple tornado events. Except for a few isolated cases, the impacts of tornado-to-radar distance, county population density, and storm morphology did not have a significant impact on negative lead-time warnings.

AB Near-real-time values of vegetation fraction are incorporated into a 2-km nested version of the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW) model and compared to forecasts from a control run that uses climatological values of vegetation fraction for eight severe weather events during 2004. It is hypothesized that an improved partitioning of surface sensible and latent heat fluxes occurs when incorporating near-real-time values of the vegetation fraction into models, which may result in improved forecasts of the low-level environmental conditions that support convection and perhaps even lead to improved explicit convective forecasts. Five of the severe weather events occur in association with weak synoptic-scale forcing, while three of the events occur in association with moderate or strong synoptic-scale forcing.
Results show that using the near-real-time values of the vegetation fraction alters the values and structure of low-level temperature and dewpoint temperature fields compared to the forecasts using climatological vegetation fractions. The environmental forecasts that result from using the real-time vegetation fraction are more thermodynamically supportive of convection, including stronger and deeper frontogenetic circulations, and statistically significant improvements of most unstable CAPE forecasts compared to the control run. However, despite the improved environmental forecasts, the explicit convective forecasts using real-time vegetation fractions show little to no improvement over the control forecasts. The convective forecasts are generally poor under weak synoptic-scale forcing and generally good under strong synoptic-scale forcing. These results suggest that operational forecasters can best use high-resolution forecasts to help diagnose environmental conditions within an ingredients-based forecasting approach.

Performance Measures for Dichotomous Forecasts

ID SKILL; EVENTS; SCORE
AB Performance measures computed from the 2 x 2 contingency table of outcomes for dichotomous forecasts are sensitive to bias. The method presented here evaluates how the probability of detection (POD) must change as bias changes so that a performance measure improves at a given value of bias. A critical performance ratio (CPR) of the change of POD to the change in bias is derived for a number of performance measures. If a change in POD associated with a bias change satisfies the CPR condition, the performance measure will indicate an improved forecast. If a perfect measure of performance existed, it would always exhibit its optimal value at bias equal to one. Actual measures of performance are susceptible to bias, indicating a better forecast for bias values not equal to one. The CPR is specifically applied to assess the conditions for an improvement toward a more favorable value of several commonly used performance measures as bias increases or decreases through the value one. All performance measures evaluated are found to have quantifiable bias sensitivity. The CPR is applied to analyzing a performance requirement and bias sensitivity in a geometric model.

CONTINENTAL WINTER CYCLONE; HIGH-RESOLUTION; SNOWSTORMS; EVOLUTION
AB North American Mesoscale (NAM) model forecasts of the occurrence, magnitude, depth, and persistence of ingredients previously shown to be useful in the diagnosis of banded and/or heavy snowfall potential are examined for a broad range of 25 snow events, with event total snowfall ranging from 10 cm (4 in.) to over 75 cm (30 in.). The ingredients examined are frontogenetical forcing, weak moist symmetric stability, saturation, and microphysical characteristics favorable for the production of dendritic snow crystals. It is shown that these ingredients, previously identified as being critical indicators for heavy and/or banded snowfall in major storms, are often found in smaller snowfall events. It is also shown that the magnitude, depth, and persistence of these ingredients, or combinations of these ingredients, appear to be good predictors of event total snowfall potential. In addition, a relationship is demonstrated between temporal trends associated with one of the ingredients (saturated, geostrophic equivalent potential vorticity) and event total snowfall.
Correlations between forecast values of these ingredients and observed snowfall are shown to decrease substantially as forecast lead time increases beyond 12 h. It is hypothesized that model forecast positioning and timing errors are primarily responsible for the lower correlations associated with longer-lead forecasts. This finding implies that the best forecasts beyond 12 h may be produced by examining the diagnostics of heavy snow ingredients from a single, high-resolution model to determine snowfall potential, then using ensemble forecasting approaches to determine the most probable location and timing of any heavy snow.

AB A decline in bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix L.) recreational landings during the 1990s and the early 2000s led to multiple theories on the ultimate cause. One theory was that a large portion of the bluefish population moved offshore and was unavailable to nearshore recreational fishers: one reason given for the movement offshore was increased competition with striped bass (Morone saxatilis W.). We conducted laboratory experiments (feeding and non-feeding) to examine behavioral interactions between adult bluefish and sub-adult striped bass in a large (121,000 Q research aquarium. Additionally, we examined diet and habitat overlap of bluefish and striped bass from the fall and spring bottom trawl surveys conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Observations of feeding trials for the following treatments were made: nonimpaired (i.e., same number and size of bluefish and striped bass), size-impaired (i.e., large striped bass/small bluefish), number-impaired (i.e.,10 striped bass/3bluefish), and single-species controls. Within a species, there was no difference in a variety of behavioral measures (e.g., attack rate, capture success, ingestion rate, and activity) between mixed- and control treatments under non-impaired or size-impaired conditions. However, behavior of number-impaired bluefish differed from control and size-impaired fish suggesting that striped bass may have a negative influence on bluefish foraging when bluefish are "out-numbered". Feeding had a strong effect on swimming speeds for both species. Diet and habitat overlap between bluefish and striped bass in continental shelf waters was low. Overall, foraging behavior in mixed-species treatments and field observations suggest no competitive interactions between adult bluefish and sub-adult striped bass. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

AB Three approaches are used to reduce the error in the satellite-derived marine gravity anomalies. First, we have retracked the raw waveforms from the ERS-1 and Geosat/GM missions resulting in improvements in range precision of 40% and 27%, respectively. Second, we have used the recently published EGM2008 global gravity model as a reference field to provide a seamless gravity transition from land to ocean. Third, we have used a biharmonic spline interpolation method to construct residual vertical deflection grids. Comparisons between shipboard gravity and the global gravity grid show errors ranging from 2.0 mGal in the Gulf of Mexico to 4.0 mGal in areas with rugged seafloor topography. The largest errors of up to 20 mGal occur on the crests of narrow large seamounts. The global spreading ridges are well resolved and show variations in ridge axis morphology and segmentation with spreading rate. For rates less than about 60 mm/a the typical ridge segment is 50-80 km long while it increases dramatically at higher rates (100-1000 km). This transition spreading rate of 60 mm/a also marks the transition from axial valley to axial high. We speculate that a single mechanism controls both transitions; candidates include both lithospheric and asthenospheric processes.

AB During the ARCPAC (Aerosol, Radiation, and Cloud Processes affecting Arctic Climate) airborne field experiment in April 2008 in northern Alaska, about 50 plumes were encountered with the NOAA WP-3 aircraft between the surface and 6.5 km. Onboard measurements and the transport model FLEXPART showed that most of the plumes were emitted by forest fires in southern Siberia-Lake Baikal area and by agricultural burning in Kazakhstan-southern Russia. Unexpectedly, these biomass burning plumes were the dominant aerosol and gas-phase features encountered in this area during April. The influence on the plumes from sources other than burning was small. The chemical characteristics of plumes from the two source regions were different, with higher enhancements relative to CO for most gas and aerosol species from the agricultural fires. In 2008, the fire season started earlier than usual in Siberia, which may have resulted in unusually efficient transport of biomass burning emissions into the Arctic. Citation: Warneke, C., et al.

AB An eddy-permitting ocean model of the northeast Pacific is used to examine the ocean adjustment to changing wind forcing in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) at interannual-to-decadal timescales. It is found that the adjustment of the ocean model in the presence of mesoscale eddies is similar to that obtained with coarse-resolution models. Local Ekman pumping plays a key role in forcing pycnocline depth variability and, to a lesser degree, sea surface height (SSH) variability in the center of the Alaska gyre and in some areas of the eastern and northern GOA. Westward Rossby wave propagation is evident in the SSH field along some latitudes but is less noticeable in the pycnocline depth field. Differences between SSH and pycnocline depth are also found when considering their relationship with the local forcing and leading modes of climate variability in the northeast Pacific. In the central GOA pycnocline depth variations are more clearly related to changes in the local Ekman pumping than SSH. While SSH is marginally correlated with both Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) indices, the pycnocline depth evolution is primarily related to NPGO variability. The intensity of the mesoscale eddy field increases with increasing circulation strength. The eddy field is generally more energetic after the 1976-1977 climate regime shift, when the gyre circulation intensified. In the western basin, where eddies primarily originate from intrinsic instabilities of the flow, variations in eddy kinetic energy are statistically significant correlated with the PDO index, indicating that eddy statistics may be inferred, to some degree, from the characteristics of the large-scale flow.

AB Low-energy spin excitations were investigated in the static stripe phase of La2-xSrxCuO4 using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering on single crystals. For x=1/8 in which long-range static stripe order exists, an energy gap of E-g=4 meV exists in the excitation spectrum in addition to strong quasielastic, incommensurate spin fluctuations associated with the static stripes. When x increases, the spectral weight of the spin fluctuations shifts from the quasielastic continuum to the excitation spectrum above E-g. The dynamic correlation length as a function of energy and the temperature evolution of the energy spectrum suggest a phase separation of two distinct magnetic phases in real space.

AB The phase noise of a 20 GHz picosecond optical pulse train generated by a modulator-based optical frequency comb generator is analysed. The residual timing jitter is <= 10 fs for Fourier frequencies from 10 Hz to 10 MHz.

TI Changes in temperature and precipitation extremes in western central

ID RIVER DISCHARGE; F-TEST; CLIMATE
AB Understanding how extremes are changing globally, regionally, and locally is an important first step for planning appropriate adaptation measures, as changes in extremes have major impacts. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's synthesis of global extremes was not able to say anything about western central Africa, as no analysis of the region was available nor was there an adequate internationally exchanged long-term daily data set available to use for analysis of extremes. This paper presents the first analysis of extremes in this climatically important region along with analysis of Guinea Conakry and Zimbabwe. As per many other parts of the world, the analysis shows a decrease in cold extremes and an increase in warm extremes. However, while the majority of the analyzed world has shown an increase in heavy precipitation over the last half century, central Africa showed a decrease. Furthermore, the companion analysis of Guinea Conakry and Zimbabwe showed no significant increases.

AB Present-day shortcomings in the representation of upper tropospheric ice clouds in general circulation models (GCMs) lead to errors in weather and climate forecasts as well as account for a source of uncertainty in climate change projections. An ongoing challenge in rectifying these shortcomings has been the availability of adequate, high-quality, global observations targeting ice clouds and related precipitating hydrometeors. In addition, the inadequacy of the modeled physics and the often disjointed nature between model representation and the characteristics of the retrieved/observed values have hampered GCM development and validation efforts from making effective use of the measurements that have been available. Thus, even though parameterizations in GCMs accounting for cloud ice processes have, in some cases, become more sophisticated in recent years, this development has largely occurred independently of the global-scale measurements. With the relatively recent addition of satellite-derived products from Aura/Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and CloudSat, there are now considerably more resources with new and unique capabilities to evaluate GCMs. In this article, we illustrate the shortcomings evident in model representations of cloud ice through a comparison of the simulations assessed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report, briefly discuss the range of global observational resources that are available, and describe the essential components of the model parameterizations that characterize their "cloud'' ice and related fields. Using this information as background, we (1) discuss some of the main considerations and cautions that must be taken into account in making model-data comparisons related to cloud ice, (2) illustrate present progress and uncertainties in applying satellite cloud ice (namely from MLS and CloudSat) to model diagnosis, (3) show some indications of model improvements, and finally (4) discuss a number of remaining questions and suggestions for pathways forward.

AB We report on a rare event of a narrowband ULF magnetospheric pulsation that is observed at geosynchronous orbit over five consecutive days in the recovery period of a magnetospheric storm, with frequencies ranging from 5 to 9 mHz. The pulsation displays distinctive localization, being observed over several hours of local time in the noon and postnoon sectors during successive passes of GOES-8 and GOES-9. Geotail, which is traversing the outer magnetosphere a couple of RE farther out from geosynchronous orbit at the time the pulsations are observed, shows no distinct narrowband fluctuation in the magnetic field, excluding oscillations in the solar wind as a possible source of the pulsations. On the ground, several of the IMAGE magnetometers observe pulsations with similar spectral characteristics. By performing a phase cross-spectrogram analysis on measurements from adjacent and latitudinally aligned ground stations we estimate the azimuthal mode number m of the pulsation, which we find to range between 20 and 55. Phase difference calculations indicate an eastward phase propagation of these pulsations. Density measurements from LANL spacecraft at geosynchronous orbit show evidence of a plasmasphere refilling process that is slower than usual, possibly associated with the observed slow frequency decrease and the unusually long lasting of the pulsations.

AB A new quaternary intermetallic borocarbide TmCo2B2C has been synthesized via rapid-quench of an arc-melted ingot. Elemental and powder-diffraction analyses established its correct stoichiometry and single-phase character. The crystal structure is isomorphous with that of TmNi2B2C (I4/mmm) and is stable over the studied temperature range. Above 7 K, the paramagnetic state follows modified Curie-Weiss behavior (chi = C/(T - theta) + chi(0)) wherein chi(0) = 0.008(1) emu mol(-1) with the temperature-dependent term reflecting the paramagnetism of the Tm subsystem: mu(eff) = 7.6(2) mu(B) (in agreement with the expected value for a free Tm3+ ion) and theta = -4.5(3) K. Long-range ferromagnetic order of the Tm sublattice is observed to develop around similar to 1 K. No superconductivity is detected in TmCo2B2C down to 20 mK, a feature which is consistent with the general trend in the RCo2B2C series. Finally, the influence of the rapid-quench process on the magnetism (and superconductivity) of TmNi2B2C will be discussed and compared to that of TmCo2B2C.

AB Aerosol data from the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments ( IMPROVE) network, air mass backward trajectories, land use maps, soil characteristics maps, diagnostic ratios of elemental composition, and multivariate linear regression were utilized as part of a semiquantitative analysis. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the types of dust-causing events that contribute to low visibility at a given site when the sum of extinction from coarse mass ( CM) and fine soil (FS) was larger than any other aerosol component and the reconstructed aerosol extinction coefficient was among the 20% highest ( calculated on a calendar year basis) for that site. For these "worst dust days,'' the above tools were used to ascribe the cause of low visibility to one of the following types of events: ( 1) transcontinental transport of dust originating from Asia; ( 2) windblown dust events from sources located nearby the site and; ( 3) transport of windblown dust from sources upwind of the site. Depending on the weight of evidence, a low or high level of confidence was associated with the assignment of one of these three events. Absence of convincing evidence resulted in ascribing the worst dust day to "undetermined events.'' Of the 610 worst dust days over the 2001 - 2003 period, 51% were associated with one of the three event types with high confidence and an additional 30% were accounted for with low confidence. Of the 496 worst dust days associated with an event ( either low or high confidence), Asian dust was the assigned event on 55 days ( for 2001 - 2002), locally generated windblown dust on 201 days, and transport from upwind source areas susceptible to wind erosion on 240 days. Events associated with windblown episodes from source areas in the United States and Mexico exhibited the highest dust concentrations. Asian dust events were associated with lower dust concentrations and a larger FS-to-CM ratio. Some variations between Asian dust and continental North American dust were observed in organic matter (OMC), black carbon ( LAC), and nitrate (NO3-) content. None of the tools used in this study was adequate for identifying events associated with mechanically released dust by anthropogenic activities including, agriculture, construction and motor vehicle travel on paved and unpaved roads. Some of the worst dust days may have been caused by these types of activities, especially in central Arizona and northern and Southern California, where the fraction of undetermined events was higher than in other regions within the western United States. All in all, the methods and results of this study can help improve the performance of large-scale dust emission models and provide insight into the distribution of the types of events that cause dust resultant haze in relatively remote areas of the western United States.

AB X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy has been used to study the chemical and structural properties of self-forming diffusion barrier layers from Cu-8 at. % Mn alloy films on porous low-k and thermally grown SiO2 dielectrics. For the porous low-k/Cu(Mn) system, we provide evidence that the interface is composed of MnSiO3 and MnO with near complete Mn segregation from the alloy film; however, we find that the self-forming process does not go to full completion on thermally grown SiO2 substrates.

AB We explore the frequency-dependent relative permittivity of Ruddlesden-Popper series Srn+1TinO3n+1 (n=1,2,3) thin films as a function of temperature and dc electric field. Interdigitated capacitors and coplanar waveguides were used to extract the frequency response from 500 Hz to 40 GHz. At room temperature, the in-plane relative permittivities (epsilon(11)) obtained for Srn+1TinO3n+1 (n=1,2,3) were 42 +/- 3, 54 +/- 3, and 77 +/- 2, respectively, and were independent of frequency. At low temperatures, epsilon(11) increases and electric field tunability develops in Sr4Ti3O10.

AB Surface relaxation rates differ for spin-polarized alkali atoms interacting with monolayer or bilayer octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) coatings. The morphology and composition of Rb vapor-exposed films of OTS have been studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). On OTS monolayers, numerous small (< 500 nm wide) Rb containing islands nucleate at the boundaries of the similar to 1-2 mu m wide organic domains. On OTS bilayers, singular large (similar to 3 mu m wide) Rb containing islands were found. Alkali island formation mediated by surface structure could affect the antirelaxation behavior of organic coatings used in atomic magnetometer cells.

AB The multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) measures direct and diffuse irradiances in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. In addition to characteristics of atmospheric aerosols, MFRSR data also allow retrieval of precipitable water vapor (PWV) column amounts, which are determined from the direct normal irradiances in the 940-nm spectral channel. The HITRAN 2004 spectral database was used in our retrievals to model the water vapor absorption. We present a detailed error analysis describing the influence of uncertainties in instrument calibration and spectral response, as well as those in available spectral databases, on the retrieval results. The results of our PWV retrievals from the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site operated by the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program were compared with correlative standard measurements by microwave radiometers (MWRs) and a global positioning system (GPS) water vapor sensor, as well as with retrievals from other solar radiometers (AERONET's CIMEL, AATS-6). Some of these data are routinely available at the SGP's Central Facility; however, we also used measurements from a wider array of instrumentations deployed at this site during the water vapor intensive observation period (WVIOP2000) in September-October 2000. The WVIOP data show better agreement between different solar radiometers or between different microwave radiometers (both groups showing relative biases within 4%) than between these two groups of instruments, with MWR values being consistently higher (up to 14%) than those from solar instruments (especially in the large PWV column amount range). We also demonstrate the feasibility of using MFRSR network data for creation of 2D data sets comparable with that of the MODIS satellite water vapor product.

AB An updated analysis of observed stratospheric temperature variability and trends is presented on the basis of satellite, radiosonde, and lidar observations. Satellite data include measurements from the series of NOAA operational instruments, including the Microwave Sounding Unit covering 1979-2007 and the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU) covering 1979-2005. Radiosonde results are compared for six different data sets, incorporating a variety of homogeneity adjustments to account for changes in instrumentation and observational practices. Temperature changes in the lower stratosphere show cooling of similar to 0.5 K/decade over much of the globe for 1979-2007, with some differences in detail among the different radiosonde and satellite data sets. Substantially larger cooling trends are observed in the Antarctic lower stratosphere during spring and summer, in association with development of the Antarctic ozone hole. Trends in the lower stratosphere derived from radiosonde data are also analyzed for a longer record (back to 1958); trends for the presatellite era (1958-1978) have a large range among the different homogenized data sets, implying large trend uncertainties. Trends in the middle and upper stratosphere have been derived from updated SSU data, taking into account changes in the SSU weighting functions due to observed atmospheric CO2 increases. The results show mean cooling of 0.5-1.5 K/decade during 1979-2005, with the greatest cooling in the upper stratosphere near 40-50 km. Temperature anomalies throughout the stratosphere were relatively constant during the decade 1995-2005. Long records of lidar temperature measurements at a few locations show reasonable agreement with SSU trends, although sampling uncertainties are large in the localized lidar measurements. Updated estimates of the solar cycle influence on stratospheric temperatures show a statistically significant signal in the tropics (similar to 30 degrees N-S), with an amplitude (solar maximum minus solar minimum) of similar to 0.5 K (lower stratosphere) to similar to 1.0 K (upper stratosphere).

ID TONKS-GIRARDEAU GAS
AB We study the dynamics of strongly correlated one-dimensional Bose gases in a combined harmonic and optical lattice potential subjected to sudden displacement of the confining potential. Using the time-evolving block decimation method, we perform a first-principles quantum many-body simulation of the experiment of Fertig et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 120403 (2005)] across different values of the lattice depth ranging from the superfluid to the Mott insulator regimes. We find good quantitative agreement with this experiment: the damping of the dipole oscillations is significant even for shallow lattices, and the motion becomes overdamped with increasing lattice depth as observed. We show that the transition to overdamping is attributed to the decay of superfluid flow accelerated by quantum fluctuations, which occurs well before the emergence of Mott insulator domains.

DT Article
ID BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION; GROUND-STATE; TLCUCL3; FIELD
AB Using single crystal inelastic neutron scattering with and without the application of an external magnetic field and powder neutron diffraction, we have characterized magnetic interactions in Ba3Cr2O8. Even without a field, we found that there exist three singlet-to-triplet excitation modes in the (h, h, l) scattering plane. Our complete analysis shows that the three modes are due to spatially anisotropic interdimer interactions that are induced by lattice distortions of the tetrahedron of oxygens surrounding the Jahn-Teller active Cr5+(3d(1)). The strong intradimer coupling of J(0)=2.38(2) meV and weak interdimer interactions (|J(inter)|<= 0.52(2) meV) makes Ba3Cr2O8 a good model system for weakly coupled s=1/2 quantum spin dimers.

TI Strong Coupling of the Fe-Spin State and the As-As Hybridization in
Iron-Pnictide Superconductors from First-Principle Calculations
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
AB From first-principles calculations, we unravel surprisingly strong interactions between arsenic ions in iron pnictides, the strength of which is controlled by the Fe-spin state. Reducing the Fe-magnetic moment weakens the Fe-As bonding, and in turn, increases As-As interactions, causing giant reduction in the c axis. For the CaFe(2)As(2) system, this reduction is as large as 1.4 A. Since the large c reduction has been recently observed only under high pressure, our results suggest that the iron magnetic moment should be present in Fe-pnictides at all times at ambient pressure. Finally, the conventional electron-phonon coupling in the collapsed phase of CaFe(2)As(2) gives a maximum T(c) of 0.6 K and cannot explain the similar to 12 K superconductivity observed in some experiments. Implications of these findings on the mechanism of superconductivity in iron pnictides are discussed.

AB As part of a large-scale thermophysical property measurement project, the decomposition kinetics of propylcyclohexane was investigated. Decomposition reactions were performed at 375, 400, 425, and 450 degrees C in stainless steel ampule reactors. At each temperature, the extent of decomposition was determined as a function of time by gas chromatography. These data were used to derive first-order rate constants for the decomposition of propylcyclohexane. Decomposition rate constants ranged from 3.66 x 10(-7) s(-1) at 375 degrees C to 8.63 x 10(-5) s(-1) at 450 degrees C. Among other things, these rate constants are useful for planning property measurements at high temperatures. Based on the amount of time required for 1% of the sample to decompose (t(0.01)), we found that allowable instrument residence times ranged from about 8 It at 375 degrees C to about 2 min at 450 degrees C. The kinetic data were also used to determine Arrhenius parameters of A = 2.56 x 10(16) s(-1) and E(a) = 283 kJ . mol(-1). In addition to the decomposition kinetics, we have also done a GC-MS analysis in order to identify the most abundant decomposition products.

AB We present a detailed investigation in to He-3 neutron spin filter cells polarised by spin exchange optical pumping (SEOP). We include measurements of the absolute He-3 polarisation using neutron transmission and characterisation of both the X-factor and He-3 relaxation times (T-1) for a number of cells. For one cell we calculated a Maximum He-3 polarisation of 79% with a T, of 633 h. The measured X-factor of this cell, X = 0.17 +/- 0.01, is low. For all cells polarisations of > 71% are observed. In addition we present He-3 relaxation data for a new design of magneto-static cavity with a field of high homogeneity Delta B/B-0 approximate to 3.5 x 10(-4) cm(-1). This compact device provides a magnetic field in an orientation suitable for in situ optical pumping that minimises the field inhomogeneity contribution to the T, to 930h in a 1 bar cell, the longest reported on beam thus far. The results suggest that high He-3 polarisation with long relaxation times can now be routinely obtained with SEOP, enabling time independent incident beam polarisation to be easily implemented across many different neutron Scattering instruments.

AB The Ozone Profiling Atmospheric Lidar is a scanning four-wavelength ultraviolet differential absorption lidar that measures tropospheric ozone and aerosols. Derived profiles from the lidar data include ozone concentration, aerosol extinction, and calibrated aerosol backscatter. Aerosol calibrations assume a clear air region aloft. Other products include cloud base heights, aerosol layer heights, and scans of particulate plumes from aircraft. The aerosol data range from 280 m to 12 km with 5 m range resolution, while the ozone data ranges from 280 m to about 1.2 km with 100 m resolution. In horizontally homogeneous atmospheres, data from multiple-elevation angles is combined to reduce the minimum altitude of the aerosol and ozone profiles to about 20m. The lidar design, the characterization of the photomultiplier tubes, ozone and aerosol analysis techniques, and sample data are described. Also discussed is a double-gating technique to shorten the gated tum-on time of the photomultiplier tubes, and thereby reduce the detection of background light and the outgoing laser pulse.

AB A conundrum exists regarding whether the sea-surface temperatures decreased or increased over the southern Caribbean and the western Tropical Atlantic region during the Younger Dryas when the North Atlantic cooled substantially and the Atlantic thermohaline circulation was weakened significantly. Despite the proximity of core locations, some proxy reconstructions record a surface cooling, while others indicate a warming. We suggest that this seemingly paradoxical finding may, at least partially, be attributed to the competing physical processes that result in opposing signs of temperature change in the region in response to weakened North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Our coupled ocean-atmosphere model experiments indicate that the temperature response over the southern Caribbean and Western Tropical Atlantic regions is complex and can vary considerably in small spatial scales, depending on the nature of physical processes that dominate.

AB We report new limits on the phase coherence of the ultrafast mode-locking process in an octave-spanning Ti:sapphire comb. We find that the mode-locking mechanism correlates optical phase across a full optical octave with less than 2.5 mu Hz relative linewidth. This result is at least two orders of magnitude below recent predictions for quantum-limited individual comb-mode linewidths, verifying that the mode-locking mechanism strongly correlates quantum noise across the comb spectrum.

AB Methylmercury (MeHg) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) bioaccumulate and biomagnify in the environment and increasing concentrations of these pollutants have been found in wildlife and humans. Both chemicals are worldwide contaminants with wide ranging biological effects and have been identified in relatively high concentrations in apex level marine mammals such as bottlenose dolphins. The primary objective of this study was to determine if exposure to MeHg or PFOS would alter the gene expression in primary bottlenose dolphin epidermal cell cultures. Primary skin cells were isolated and cultured from skin samples collected from wild bottlenose dolphins. The cells were subsequently exposed to 13 ppm PFOS or 1 ppm MeHg and changes in gene expression were analyzed by suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) and quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR). 116 genes were positively identified in the dolphin skin cells by SSH. Of these, 16 total genes were analyzed by QPCR (9 and 11 genes following PFOS or MeHg exposure, respectively, with four overlapping genes). Results indicate MeHg significantly alters gene expression patterns following 24 h exposure, but has no measurable effect after only 1 h. PFOS exposure, however, caused significant alterations following both 1 and 25 h. Overall, the changes in gene expression observed indicate these concentrations of MeHg and PFOS significantly alter normal gene expression patterns. The changes in gene expression following exposure to these contaminants not only indicate a cellular stress response, but also decreased cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation and reduced protein translation. Alterations in normal cellular biology, like those observed, may lead to changes in health in marine mammals exposed to contaminants; however, this warrants further investigation.

AB Published algorithms were employed to convert SeaWiFS images of normalized water-leaving-radiance to absorption images of CDOM (chromophoric dissolved organic matter). The best performing algorithm was employed to produce decadal time-series of CDOM monthly composites from 1998 through 2007. Deficits in CDOM absorption coefficient for surface waters across the shelf over the summer were then acquired relative to the uniformly mixed waters prior to and following stratification (spring and fall, respectively). Estimates were attained of the photochemical oxidation of carbon to CO2 on and beyond the shelf of the Middle Atlantic Bight. Approximately 3-7 X 10 10 g C as CO2 were estimated to be produced via photooxidation of CDOM over the summertime, highlighting the significance of CDOM photochemistry and pointing out the importance of CO2 photoproduction at a global scale. In principle, this approach could be applied to global ocean color data. Citation: Del Vecchio, R., A. Subramaniam, S. Schollaert Uz, J. Ballabrera-Poy, C. W. Brown, and N.V.

TI Ozone production in boreal fire smoke plumes using observations from the

SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English

AB We examine the photochemical processes governing the production of ozone in smoke from large Siberian fires that formed in July 2006 using colocated O-3 and CO profiles as measured by the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer as well as NO2 and aerosol optical depths as measured by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument. The Real-Time Air Quality Model (RAQMS) is used to explain the observed variations of O3. Enhanced levels of ozone up to 90 parts per billion (ppbv) are observed near and away from the Siberian fires (60 degrees N and 100 degrees E) when sunlight and NOx are available. We also observe significantly low O-3 amounts (less then 30 ppbv) in the smoke plume from Siberian fires in conjunction with optically thick aerosols. Despite this wide variance in observed ozone values, the mean ozone value for all observations of the smoke plume is close to background levels of approximately 55 ppbv in the free troposphere. Using RAQMS we show that optically thick aerosols in the smoke plume can substantially reduce the photochemical production of ozone and this can explain why the observed mean ozone amount for all plume observations is not much larger than background values of 55 ppbv. However, the anonymously low ozone amounts of 30 ppbv or less point toward other unresolved processes that reduce ozone below background levels in the plume.

AB Melting and chemical behaviors of isothermally crystallized gamma-irradiated sPS have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, FTIR, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Amorphous sPS samples were subjected to gamma radiation in vacuum and in oxygen at different doses from 200 to 1000 kGy. Irradiated samples were heated to 310 degrees C, cooled to 220-260 degrees C range, held for 10 min, and re-melted. Three melting endothermic peaks observed for irradiated and non-irradiated samples isothermally crystallized at 220 degrees C were decomposed into individual Gaussian distributions, and enthalpies of the total melting endotherm and individual peaks were determined. Both alpha and beta crystalline forms coexist in the crystallized irradiated sPS, regardless of the radiation treatment environment. Dose and irradiation environment have a great effect on the melting behaviors and chemical structures of the isothermally crystallized gamma-irradiated sPS. Crystallinity increases with increasing dose of irradiation in both vacuum and oxygen, with level of increase is greater in oxygen. The three melting peak temperatures decrease with increasing dose regardless of irradiation environments. Ketone and aldehyde oxidized products are formed in the isothermally crystallized gamma-irradiated sPS in oxygen through a combination of hydrogen abstraction or chain scission process and hydroxyl free radicals formation.

AB The effect of the crystallinity and the grain texturing of CoPt hard layers on exchange coupled Fe/CoPt soft/hard magnetic systems was studied using gradient thickness multilayer thin films. We have studied the hard layer structures by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction, and characterized the exchange coupling interaction through magnetization loops obtained by the magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement. We found that exchange coupling strongly depends on the crystalline characteristics of the CoPt hard layer. There is correlation between the mixture of different grain orientations of the CoPt hard layer and coupling efficiency. In particular, interlayer coupling is enhanced when there is only one orientation, namely, the L1(0) CoPt structure with its c-axis inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the substrate plane. An increased degree of mixture of the latter with the in-plane-c-axis L1(0) CoPt structure is detrimental to obtaining one-phase-like magnetization loops. The present work points to the importance of controlling the crystalline properties of the hard layer in order to enhance the maximum energy product (BH)(max) in hard/soft nanocomposite magnets.

AB In situ stress measurements were performed during high frequency pulse electrodeposition of nanotwinned Cu thin films. Periodic stress changes during pulse-on and pulse-off periods were observed. The stress profile showed an abrupt increase in tensile stress to about 400 MPa during the pulse-on period and a stress relaxation during the pulse-off period. First-principles calculations predict that a complete relaxation of the tensile stress allows the formation of nanotwins separated by 28 nm or more. This is in good agreement with the results obtained from microstructural analysis of the Cu films fabricated during in situ stress measurements.

AB The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)/albedo algorithm uses multiday, multiband MODIS surface reflectance products from Terra and Aqua to produce a global albedo product at a 500 m resolution (Collection 5). This paper evaluates the ability of the MODIS albedo product to represent albedos at all diurnal solar zenith angles through a comparison with field measurements from the Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD) and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (ARM/SGP) stations. The results show that, for most of the sites, the overall accuracy of the MODIS albedo is within 0.05 and shows an increasing negative bias and increased RMSE as zenith angle increases beyond 70 degrees-75 degrees as compared to the ground observations. The full inversion of the MODIS BRDF/albedo algorithm has a higher inversion quality than the backup algorithm. Site heterogeneity and spatial-scale mismatch between the MODIS and ground observations are the major factors contributing to the discrepancy between the MODIS albedo and the field measurements.

DT Article
ID ALGORITHM; PREDICTION
AB A set of molecular dynamics simulations of three members of the TIP4P model family for water (TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, TIP4P-i) are performed to illustrate the appropriate procedures to employ when simulating the planar interface between coexisting liquid and vapor phases. A method for efficiently including the long-range parts of the intermolecular dispersion interactions introduced by Janecek (J. Phys. Chem. B 2006, 110, 6264) is used. This method produces an interfacial region that is internally consistent with the dynamics of the molecules. A set of procedures are presented to verify that the surface tension estimate has converged and to obtain the underlying uncertainty of the surface tension estimate. The surface tension for the models is determined for temperatures between 300 and 550 K with an uncertainty of about 2 mN/m for this temperature range. The uncertainty is not sensitive to the temperature, but the relative uncertainty increases strongly with temperature. The surface tension is not sensitive to the system size in this temperature range provided at least 500 molecules are used, and it is shown that a thermostat does not bias the computed values.

The coating has a high absorbance (0.96 at 1064 nm in wavelength) and a laser damage threshold that is comparable to that of ceramic coatings presently used for commercial thermopiles for high-power laser measurements. In addition to a potassium silicate-based coating we discuss sodium silicate, lithium silicate, and a commercially available ceramic coating. We document the coating process and experiments that demonstrate that the laser damage threshold at 1064 nm is 15 kW/cm(2).

AB To greatly increase the spatial and temporal resolution for studying carbon dynamics in the marine environment, we have developed remote-sensing algorithms for particulate organic carbon (POC) by matching in situ POC measurements in the Gulf of Mexico with matching SeaWiFS remote-sensing reflectance. Data on total particulate matter (PM) as well as POC collected during nine cruises in spring, summer and early winter from 1997-2000 as part of the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NEGOM) study were used to test algorithms across a range of environments from low %POC coastal waters to high %POC open-ocean waters. Finding that the remote-sensing reflectance clearly exhibited a peak shift from blue-to-green wavelengths with increasing POC concentration, we developed a Maximum Normalized Difference Carbon Index (MNDCI) algorithm which uses the maximum band ratio of all available blue-to-green wavelengths, and provides a very robust estimate over a wide range of POC and PM concentrations (R(2)=0.99, N=58). The algorithm can be extrapolated throughout the region of shipboard sampling for more detailed coverage and analysis. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Climate change is expected to affect the timing and magnitude of numerous environmental conditions, including temperature, wind, and precipitation. Amongst other repercussions, such alterations will engender a response in marine ecosystem productivity manifested by changes in the timing and magnitude of phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity. Several investigations have examined the change in magnitude in chlorophyll concentration in relation to changing environmental conditions, but little has been done to examine the change in the timing of the annual cycle of phytoplankton biomass. In order to establish a baseline from which to assess any future changes in the phenology of phytoplankton biomass, we constructed nine-year climatologies of phytoplankton bloom onset, maturity, start of bloom decay, and termination in the central North Atlantic. This was accomplished by extracting annual values of these phenological markers from Generalized Linear Models fit to pentad (five-day) estimates of SeaWiFS chlorophyll concentrations dating from 1998 to 2006. This novel modeling approach, which produced results consistent with known patterns of phytoplankton bloom dynamics in this region, provides a statistically robust approach to detect and account for changes in the annual cycle of phytoplankton biomass.

AB The Hartree-Fock relativistic method (Cowan code) and the relativistic many-body perturbation theory are used to perform a large-scale calculation of atomic parameters for dielectronic recombination (DR) of Pd-like Xe8+. The energy levels, radiative transition probabilities and autoionization rates are reported for 4d(9)4fnl, 4d(9)5l'nl, (n = 5-8) and 4d(9)6lnl (n = 6-7) states in Ag-like Xe7+. The partial and total DR rate coefficients are calculated with account of high-n states, and contribution of different atomic configurations to DR is discussed. The branching ratios and intensity factors are calculated for dielectronic satellite lines. The obtained results can be used for modelling of various Xe plasmas including those used in lithography applications.

AB The physical behavior of polyelectrolytes at solid-liquid interfaces presents challenges both in measurement and in interpretation. An informative, yet often overlooked, property that characterizes the equilibrium organization of these systems is their membrane or rest potential. Here a general classification scheme is presented of the relationship between the rest potential and structural response of polyelectrolyte films to salt concentration. A numerical lattice theory, adapted from the polymer community, is used to analyze the rest potential response of end-tethered polyelectrolyte layers in which electrostatics and short-range contact interactions conspire to bring about different structural states. As an experimental quantity the rest potential is a readily accessible, nonperturbing metric of the equilibrium structure of a polyelectrolyte layer. A first set of measurements is reported on monolayers of end-tethered, single-stranded DNA in monovalent (NaCl) and divalent (MgCl(2)) counterion environments. Intriguingly, in NaCl electrolyte at least two different mechanisms appear by which the DNA layers can structurally relax in response to changing salt conditions. In MgCl(2) the layers appear to collapse. The possible molecular mechanisms behind these behaviors are discussed. These studies provide insight into phenomena more generally underlying polyelectrolyte applications in the chemical, environmental, and biotechnological fields.

AB Cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy is used to obtain simultaneously high resolution and broad spectral-bandwidth measurements of a supersonically cooled jet of acetylene molecules. We demonstrate a complete spatial mapping of density, velocity, and internal state distributions of a cold molecular jet via tomographic reconstructions. These measurements reveal interesting and never-before-observed features of the pulsed jet expansion, including anomalous C(2)H(2) absorption lineshapes and anomalous spatial variations of the rotational temperature distribution. The demonstrated capabilities establish this technique as a powerful new tool for studies of cold molecules. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Controlling the location and physical orientation of nanobuilding blocks in assemblies of nanodevices become challenging tasks when it comes to the use of "bottom-up" chemical approaches for nanodevice fabrication. Here, a strategy is reported for in situ fabrication of horizontal nanochannels, which allows control over their orientation and average pore size to an unprecedented range of similar to 5-20 nm. Using this approach, we selectively fabricated nanochannels with controlled average pore sizes at known positions on a sapphire surface. Equally important, nanochannels, either single or group, are addressable photolithographically and integrable to microchannels without the use of any high resolution lithography. This technique uses horizontal ZnO nanowires (NWs) as a sacrificial template and could provide the capability of fabrication of complex micro- and nanofluidic platforms. Cross-sections of nanowires and nanochannels are prepared via a focused-ion beam and examined by electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

dependence on magnetic configurations and external conditions

DT Article

AB The present study statistically examines geosynchronous magnetic configurations and external conditions that characterize the loss of geosynchronous MeV electrons. The loss of MeV electrons often takes place during magnetospheric storms, but it also takes place without any clear storm activity. It is found that irrespective of storm activity, the day-night asymmetry of the geosynchronous H (north-south) magnetic component is pronounced during electron loss events. For the loss process, the magnitude, rather than the duration, of the magnetic distortion appears to be important, and its effective duration can be as short as similar to 30 min. The solar wind dynamic pressure tends to be high and interplanetary magnetic field B(Z) tends to be southward during electron loss events. Under such external conditions the dayside magnetopause moves closer to Earth, and the day-night magnetic asymmetry is enhanced. As a consequence the area of closed drift orbits shrinks. The magnetic field at the subsolar magnetopause, which is estimated from force balance with the solar wind dynamic pressure, is usually stronger than the nightside geosynchronous magnetic field during electron loss events. It is therefore suggested that geosynchronous MeV electrons on the night side are very often on open drift paths when geosynchronous MeV electrons are lost. Whereas the present result does not preclude the widely accepted idea that MeV electrons are lost to the atmosphere by wave-particle interaction, it suggests that magnetopause shadowing is another plausible loss process of geosynchronous MeV electrons.

AB Scanning tunneling microscopy observations of the initial growth stages of the first layer of pentacene on a monolayer film of C-60 on Ag(111) are presented. Pentacene films nucleate and grow with molecules standing up at the pentacene:C-60 interface similar to thin film phases observed on weakly interacting substrates such as SiO2. Unlike reported thin film pentacene phases, those on 1 monolayer C-60/Ag(111) exhibit a striated morphology with domains of 4 nm nominal width. This long range pattern of periodic pentacene displacements relative to the substrate is the response to stress induced in the pentacene film by its interaction with the rigid C-60 support.

AB High permeability magnetic flux concentrators are used to enhance the sensitivity of an atomic magnetometer operating in the spin-exchange relaxation-free regime. The magnetometer uses a millimeter scale (87)Rb vapor cell and either mu-metal or Mn-Zn ferrite flux concentrators. The measured sensitivity gives excellent agreement with calculations of thermal noise from the concentrator material. The mu-metal concentrators allow a sensitivity of 50 fT Hz(-1/2), limited by thermal current magnetic noise. The ferrite concentrators are limited by thermal magnetization noise at low frequencies, and reach a sensitivity of 10 fT Hz(-1/2) for frequencies above 125 Hz.

AB We have grown Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films on LaAlO3 (100) and fused silica substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The films on LaAlO3 are c-axis oriented and partially in-plane aligned with multiple domains, while the films on fused silica are preferred c-axis oriented without in-plane alignment. The Seebeck coefficient and resistivity of films on both substrates are comparable to those of single crystals. An oxide p-n heterojunction was formed by depositing Bi2Sr2Co2Oy film on Nb-doped SrTiO3 single crystal, which showed a rectifying behavior. These thin films and heterostructures may be used for future thermoelectric applications.

AB This study explores the upper tropospheric anticyclone above eastern North America and its influence on the summertime buildup and decay of lightning NOx (LNOx) and thunderstorm outflow. LNOx transport is simulated with a particle dispersion model that releases a LNOx tracer from the locations of millions of cloud-to-ground lightning flashes during May-September 2004 and 2006. On average, upper tropospheric zonal flow in May transitions to a closed anticyclone above northern Mexico and the southern United States in July that strengthens in August and rapidly decays in September. Concentrations of the LNOx tracer reach a maximum above the southern United States and Gulf of Mexico in July and August. Fourteen study sites across North America exhibit high day-to-day variability of the LNOx tracer in the upper troposphere during summer, with the sites most heavily influenced by the North American summer monsoon having the greatest background concentrations. During late spring and September the western sites have low concentrations with little variability. In general, the west coast sites plus Barbados have the most aged thunderstorm outflow, while the east coast sites have the least aged outflow. More than 80% of summertime upper tropospheric NOx above the eastern United States is produced by lightning. To produce the best available observation-based view of upper troposphere NOx above North America, measurements from six aircraft campaigns are combined in a single composite plot. The modeled upper tropospheric NOx matches the general continental-scale distribution of NOx in the composite plot, supporting the dominant role of LNOx in the simulations.

TI Direct Observation of a Nuclear Spin Excitation in Ho2Ti2O7
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES; CRYSTAL-FIELD; ICE; RELAXATION; HYPERFINE; STATE
AB A single nondispersive excitation is observed by means of neutron backscattering, at E-0=26.3 mu eV in the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7 but not in the isotopically enriched (Dy2Ti2O7)-Dy-162 analogue. The intensity of this excitation is rather small, less than or similar to 0.2% of the elastic intensity. It is clearly observed below 80 K but resolution limited only below similar to 65 K. The application of a magnetic field up to mu H-0=4.5 T, at 1.6 K, has no measurable effect on the energy or intensity. This nuclear excitation is believed to perturb the electronic, Ising spin system resulting in the persistent spin dynamics observed in spin ice compounds.

AB The surface stress associated with the electrodeposition of Pd onto (111)-textured Au cantilever electrodes in 0.1 M H(2)SO(4) supporting electrolyte has been examined. An electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance was also used in order to correlate the stress development with the Pd coverage. PdSO(4) and H(2)PdCl(4) were separately examined as electroactive species, in order to determine the influence of [PdCl(4)](2-) adsorption on the stress response. The stress associated with Pd underpotential deposition (upd), as well as with the growth of subsequent adlayers, is tensile, whose primary source is the +4.9% lattice mismatch between Pd and Au. However the expected tensile stress is in part counterbalanced by the formation of Pd-Au bonds as well as anion adsorption onto the Pd surface. Pd upd causes a surface stress change of +0.4 N m(-1) whereas a second monolayer produces an additional stress change of +0.6 N m(-1). We attribute this larger tensile stress change for the second monolayer to the diminished electronic influence of the Au substrate. A similar stress response is observed for both H(2)PdCl(4) and PdSO(4) as sources of Pd(2+).

exceedances in Houston and Dallas: Comparison of results from a
photochemical grid model to aircraft and surface measurements

DT Article
ID URBAN PLUME; EMISSIONS
AB During the 2000 Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS) and 2006 Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS II) field experiments, aircraft measured ozone concentrations upwind, across, and downwind of the Houston and Dallas urban areas. Background ozone transported into Houston contributed, on average, approximately 50% and 66% of the total ozone on 8-h ozone exceedance days investigated by aircraft flights during TexAQS and TexAQS II, respectively. Analysis of a flight over Dallas on one exceedance day showed that transported ozone constituted 72% of the total ozone concentration. The aircraft measurements show that these two major metropolitan areas can be brought close to exceeding the 1997 8-h National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone of 0.08 ppm solely by the ozone contribution of regional transport before additional contribution from local sources. Large local contributions were also observed, particularly in Houston. Transport contributions to Dallas area ozone were quantified using the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) photochemical grid model and source apportionment methods. Model-predicted ozone concentrations were compared to ozone measurements from the aircraft and the surface monitoring network, and showed agreement on the importance of regional transport and local ozone formation. These results emphasize the benefits of regional control strategies, and suggest that local controls alone may not be sufficient to ensure attainment of the 8-h ozone standard in Houston and Dallas.

TI Endemicity, Biogeography, Composition, and Community Structure On a
Northeast Pacific Seamount
SO PLOS ONE
LA English
DT Article
AB The deep ocean greater than 1 km covers the majority of the earth's surface. Interspersed on the abyssal plains and continental slope are an estimated 14000 seamounts, topographic features extending 1000 m off the seafloor. A variety of hypotheses are posited that suggest the ecological, evolutionary, and oceanographic processes on seamounts differ from those governing the surrounding deep sea. The most prominent and oldest of these hypotheses, the seamount endemicity hypothesis (SMEH), states that seamounts possess a set of isolating mechanisms that produce highly endemic faunas. Here, we constructed a faunal inventory for Davidson Seamount, the first bathymetric feature to be characterized as a 'seamount', residing 120 km off the central California coast in approximately 3600 m of water (Fig 1). We find little support for the SMEH among megafauna of a Northeast Pacific seamount; instead, finding an assemblage of species that also occurs on adjacent continental margins. A large percentage of these species are also cosmopolitan with ranges extending over much of the Pacific Ocean Basin. Despite the similarity in composition between the seamount and non-seamount communities, we provide preliminary evidence that seamount communities may be structured differently and potentially serve as source of larvae for suboptimal, non-seamount habitats.

SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

ID SAR IMAGERY; OCEAN; SEEPS
AB We demonstrate the unique capability of the MODIS instruments in detecting oil slicks in an open ocean environment. On 13 May 2006, in the NW Gulf of Mexico where water depth ranges from 50 to 2500 m, one 250-m resolution MODIS image showed at least 164 surface slicks under sun glint ( glint reflectance, L(g), ranged between 0.0001 and 0.06 sr(-1)). After discounting other possible causes, we believe these are the result of natural seeps. Our analysis showed total coverage of similar to 1900 km(2), with individual slicks varying in surface area (11.7 +/- 14.8 km(2)) and length (19.2 +/- 12.4 km). Concurrent SAR imagery showed similar area estimates to within 30%. This estimate, based on a single image, is higher than earlier estimates from a database of multi-date SAR images for the same region. Inspection of > 200 images for the month of May between 2000 and 2008 revealed similar slicks on at least 50 images. On 2 June 2005, slicks were detected under sun glint with both negative contrast (L(g) < 0.05 sr(-1)) and positive contrast (L(g) > 0.05 sr(-1)). These slicks could not be detected in glint-free MODIS images collected on the same day. Because of the near-daily revisit and wide sun glint coverage ( e. g., > 800 km E-W between March and October at 25 degrees N), systematic and global application of the MODIS 250-m imagery can help locate natural seeps and improve estimates of seepage rates in the world's ocean.

TI A practical database method for predicting arrivals of "average''
interplanetary shocks at Earth
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID SOLAR-WIND DISTURBANCES; CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS; APRIL 2001; MODELS;
TIME; SPEED; SIMULATION; EVOLUTION; EXPANSION; STOA
AB A practical database method for predicting the interplanetary shock arrival time at L1 point is presented here. First, a shock transit time database (hereinafter called Database-I) based on HAFv.1 (version 1 of the Hakamada-Akasofu-Fry model) is preliminarily established with hypothetical solar events. Then, on the basis of the prediction test results of 130 observed solar events during the period from February 1997 to August 2002, Database-I is modified to create a practical database method, named Database-II, organized on a multidimensional grid of source location, initial coronal shock speed, and the year of occurrence of the hypothetical solar event. The arrival time at L1 for any given solar event occurring in the 23rd solar cycle can be predicted by looking up in the grid of Database-II according to source location, the initial coronal shock speed, and the year of occurrence in cycle 23. Within the hit window of +/- 12 h, the success rate of the Database-II method for 130 solar events is 44%. This could be practically equivalent to the shock time of arrival (STOA) model, the interplanetary shock propagation model (ISPM), and the HAFv.2 model. To explore the capability of this method, it is tested on new data sets. These tests give reasonable results. In particular, this method's performance for a set of events in other cycles is as good as that of the STOA and ISPM models. This gives us confidence in its application to other cycles. From the viewpoint of long-term periodicity for solar activity, it is expected that the Database-II method can be applicable to the next solar cycle 24.

AB We demonstrate the utility of electrospray gas-phase ion-mobility analysis as a new method to investigate nanoparticle flocculation, or aggregation. An nanoparticle (Au-NP) solutions were sampled via electrospray (ES), followed by differential ion-mobility analysis (DMA) to determine the particle mobility distribution. Multimodal size distributions obtained with ES-DMA indicated the presence of single Au-NPs (monomer) as well as larger Au-NP clusters such as dimers, trimers, and tetramers under specific solution conditions. The fraction of each aggregate species as a function of time was quantitatively characterized, from which the degree of aggregation, aggregation rate, and stability ratio at different ionic strengths were determined. The latter enabled the extraction of a surface potential (or surface charge density) of 64 +/- 2 mV for 10 nm Au-NPs, which is in good agreement with values obtained from other methods, thus validating our approach. Our results show that ES-DMA is a valuable tool for quantitatively probing the early stages of colloidal aggregation or as a preparatory tool for the size election of aggregates.

TI Nanosilica Formation At Lipid Membranes Induced by the Parent Sequence

ID SILICA NANOSPHERE FORMATION; DIATOM BIOSILICA; NANOSTRUCTURE;
MORPHOGENESIS; POLYAMINES; VESICLES; CARBON; FORM
AB Diatoms are unicellular eukaryotic algae found in fresh and marine water. Each cell is surrounded by an outer shell called a frustule that is composed of highly structured amorphous silica. Diatoms are able to transform silicic acid into these sturdy intricate structures at ambient temperatures and pressures, whereas the chemical synthesis of silica-based materials typically requires extremes of temperature and pH. Cationic polypeptides, termed silica affinity proteins (or silaffins), recently identified from dissolved frustules of specific species of diatoms, are clearly involved and have been shown to initiate the formation of silica in solution. The relationship between the local environment of catalytic sites on these peptides, which can be influenced by the amino acid sequence and the extent of aggregation, and the structure of the silica is not understood. Moreover, the activity of these peptides in promoting silicification at lipid membranes has not yet been clarified. In this work, we developed a model system to address some of these questions. We studied peptide adsorption to Langmuir monolayers and subsequent silicification using X-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. The results demonstrate the lipid affinity of the parent sequence of a silaffin peptide and show that the membrane-bound peptide promotes the formation of an interfacial nanoscale layer of amorphous silica at the lipid-water interface.

AB We investigate the utility of Langmuir adsorption measurements for characterizing nanoparticle-substrate interactions. Spherical CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanoparticles were chosen as representative particles because of their widespread use in biological labeling measurements and their relatively monodisperse dimensions. In particular, the quantum dots were functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid, and we utilized an amine-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) as a model substrate. SAMs with different end-groups (-CH(3) and -COOH) were also considered to contrast with the adsorption behavior on the amine-terminated SAM substrates. We followed the kinetics of nanoparticle adsorption on the ammosilane layer by quartz crystal microgravimetry (QCM) over a range of particle concentrations and determined the corresponding Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Analysis of both equilibrium adsorption and kinetic adsorption data allowed us to determine a consistent value of the Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constant for the amine-terminated SAM at room temperature (K(L)approximate to 2.7 (mu mol/L)(-1)), providing a useful characterization of the nanoparticle-substrate interaction. The effect of varying solution pH on Langmuir adsorption was also investigated in order to gain insight into the role of electrostatic interactions on nanoparticle adsorption. The equilibrium extent of adsorption was found to be maximum at about pH 7. These changes of nanoparticle adsorption were further quantified and validated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and confocal fluorescence microscopy measurements. We conclude that Langmuir adsorption measurements provide a promising approach for quantifying nanoparticle-substrate interactions.

AB The broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth of the free layer of magnetic tunnel junctions is used as a simple diagnostic of the quality of the magnetic structure. The FMR linewidth increases near the field regions of free layer reversal and pinned layer reversal, and this increase correlates with an increase in magnetic hysteresis in unpatterned films, low-frequency noise in patterned devices, and previous observations of magnetic domain ripple by use of Lorentz microscopy. Postannealing changes the free layer FMR linewidth, indicating that considerable magnetic disorder, originating in the exchange-biased pinned layer, is transferred to the free layer.

The spectrum for L-proline was acquired by solvating the amino acid within the nanometer-sized interior water pool of reverse micelles dispersed in transparent n-heptane. Terahertz spectra of H(2)O, D(2)O and the effect of L-proline concentration and micelle size are discussed, and the results are compared to spectra of solid-phase L-proline and Gaussian calculations.

ID SUPERCONTINUUM GENERATION; HIGH-SENSITIVITY; CARS MICROSCOPY; ONE-LASER
AB We introduce a single-shot interferometric approach to suppress the nonresonant background (NRB) contribution to a broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectrum; this single-shot approach is conducive to rapid imaging. A pulse shaper prepares a narrowband pulse with two spectral components of differing phase. When the CARS fields generated by these two out-of-phase components are optically mixed, NRB signal is greatly reduced while a resonant CARS signal remains with minimal attenuation. We discuss and demonstrate two model schemes for the interfering pulse components: (1) two pulses with different bandwidths and the same center frequency (ps-fs scheme) and (2) two pulses with the same bandwidth and shifted center frequencies (ps-ps scheme). In both schemes, only the resonant signal from the "3-color" CARS mechanism survives. The resonant signal from "2-color" CARS mechanism vanishes along with the NRB. We discuss optimization conditions for signal intensity and shape of resonant CARS peaks. Experimental CARS spectra of c-hexane and benzonitrile demonstrate feasibility of these approaches.

EVOLUTION; HYPOTHESIS; SURVIVAL; GRANDMOTHERS; HISTORIES; MOTHERS;

AB Background: Menopause is a seemingly maladaptive life-history trait that is found in many long-lived mammals. There are two competing evolutionary hypotheses for this phenomenon; in the adaptive view of menopause, the cessation of reproduction may increase the fitness of older females; in the non-adaptive view, menopause may be explained by physiological deterioration with age. The decline and eventual cessation of reproduction has been documented in a number of mammalian species, however the evolutionary cause of this trait is unknown.
Results: We examined a unique 30-year time series of killer whales, tracking the reproductive performance of individuals through time. Killer whales are extremely long-lived, and may have the longest documented post-reproductive lifespan of any mammal, including humans. We found no strong support for either of the adaptive hypotheses of menopause; there was little support for the presence of post-reproductive females benefitting their daughter's reproductive performance (interbirth interval and reproductive lifespan of daughters), or the number of mature recruits to the population. Oldest mothers (> 35) did appear to have a small positive impact on calf survival, suggesting that females may gain experience with age. There was mixed support for the grandmother hypothesis - grandoffspring survival probabilities were not influenced by living grandmothers, but grandmothers may positively influence survival of juveniles at a critical life stage.
Conclusion: Although existing data do not allow us to examine evolutionary tradeoffs between survival and reproduction for this species, we were able to examine the effect of maternal age on offspring survival. Our results are consistent with similar studies of other mammals - oldest mothers appear to be better mothers, producing calves with higher survival rates. Studies of juvenile survival in humans have reported positive benefits of grandmothers on newly weaned infants; our results indicate that 3-year old killer whales may experience a positive benefit from helpful grandmothers. While our research provides little support for menopause evolving to provide fitness benefits to mothers or grandmothers, our work supports previous research showing that menopause and long post-reproductive lifespans are not a human phenomenon.

AB In recent work, a model for the structural environment of Hg bound to a catalytic DNA sensor was proposed on the basis of EXAFS data analysis. Although severely constrained by limited data quality and scant supporting structural data, a compelling structural model was found which agreed with a similar but less detailed model proposed on the basis on NMR data. I discuss in detail the successes and limitations of the analytical strategy that were implemented in the earlier work. I then speculate on future software requirementsneeded to make this and similarly complex analytical strategies more available to the wider audience of EXAFS practitioners.

The described procedure allows to make Si nanocrystals with octyl surface termination, is clean, relatively simple, and potentially scalable to industrial quantities. High resolution transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS absorbance, Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are employed to characterize the synthesized photoluminescent Si nanocrystals. Resulting octyl termination provides a stable passivation and could serve as a platform for further particle functionalization.

AB Microcalorimeters, cryogenic radiation detectors measuring the energy of photons by the increase of temperature in an absorber, can achieve energy resolutions more than an order of magnitude better than HPGe detectors. However, due to the thermal nature of the pulse generation, the active volume has to be small to maintain good resolution, and pulse decay times are in the order of milliseconds. Consequently, the detection efficiency is low and count rates are limited, especially for commonly used "optimum filter" algorithms that require isolated pulses to measure pulse heights. This is typically solved by building systems with multiple detector elements (arrays). Large arrays, however, require that as much pulse processing as possible be performed at the front end of the electronics to avoid transferring large amounts of waveform data to a host computer for processing.
Pulse processing algorithms developed by XIA LLC for use in digital spectrometers with HPGe detectors, suitably modified for the slower time scale, meet this requirement. In the work reported here, we offline-processed microcalorimeter pulse streams with modified HPGe filter algorithms to provide an initial engineering evaluation of their performance as "practical" filters, capable of achieving sufficiently good energy resolution for most applications while being a) simple enough to be implemented in the readout electronics and b) capable of processing overlapping pulses and thus of achieving higher count rates. In the course of this work, a new filter was developed that uses only a fraction of a pulse while still achieving good energy resolution for very high count rates. The success of this work suggests that future microcalorimeter read-out systems can indeed be built with electronics on which these filters are implemented in multiplexed form, taking advantage of high speed digital signal processing elements to process many channels in parallel at a large reduction in processing cost per channel.

AB We are developing a detector that uses liquid scintillator loaded with Li-6 for the efficient measurement of fast neutrons and their energy. Fast neutrons deposit energy in the scintillator primarily by nuclear (primarily proton) recoil scattering. If the neutron loses enough energy, it can be captured by lithium and produce a burst of scintillation photons. We present methods to identify this sequence of proton recoil and delayed neutron capture events. Because background gammas also produce scintillation light, we must reject them with high probability. One can discriminate background gamma events from nuclear recoil and neutron capture events because the scintillation light emission time probability density functions for electronic recoil events and nuclear recoil events are different. In a prototype unsegmented detector, we measure voltage pulses produced at a photomultiplier tube by scintillation light due to different neutron sources and a gamma ray source. For nuclear recoil and electronic recoil events, we determine a template voltage pulse by robust signal averaging and cluster analysis. For candidate event sequences, we compute the Matusita distances between the normalized voltage pulses in the start and stop regions of the pulse with respect to the template pulses. Based on the ratio of these distances and information about the voltage pulse amplitude generated by neutron capture, we identify events of interest and determine a voltage pulse amplitude distribution due to the fast neutrons. We expect that segmentation of the detector will significantly improve energy resolution.

AB This paper investigates the capabilities of the Bag-of-Words (BW) method in the 3D shape retrieval field. The contributions of this paper are: 1) the 3D shape retrieval task is categorized from different points of view: specific vs. generic, partial-to-global (PG) vs. global-to-global (GG) retrieval, and articulated vs. non-articulated; 2) The spatial information, which is represented as concentric spheres, is integrated into the framework to improve the discriminative capability; 3) the analysis of the experimental results on Purdue Engineering Benchmark (PEB) [4] reveals that some properties of the BW approach make it perform better on the PG task than the GG task. 4) The BW approach is evaluated on non-articulated database PEB [4] and articulated database McGill Shape Benchmark (MSB) [17] and compared to other methods.

DE Channel model; Ultra-WideBand (UWB); Immersive visualization system;
Body Area Networks
AB Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) is a favorable technology for wearable medical sensors that monitor vital signs and other health-related information. Efficient transceiver design requires in-depth understanding of the propagation media which in this case is the human body surface. The results of the few measurement experiments in recent publications point to varying conclusions in the derived parameters of the channel model. As obtaining large amount of data for many scenarios and use-cases is difficult for this channel, a detailed simulation platform can be extremely beneficial in highlighting the propagation behavior of the body surface and determining the best scenarios for limited physical measurements. In this paper, an immersive visualization environment is presented, which is used as a scientific instrument that gives us the ability to observe three-dimensional RF propagation from wearable medical sensors around a human body. We have used this virtual environment to further study UWB channels over the surface of a human body. Parameters of a simple statistical path-loss model and their sensitivity to frequency and the location of the sensors on the body are discussed.

DE TCP; flow level congestion; fluid approximation; congestion control
AB We propose an improved model for TCP flow level congestion performance. Conventional fluid approximation models yield incorrect results for TCP congestion at the flow level due to throughput overestimation. We introduce a more accurate model incorporating some of the packet level burstiness, by approximating TCP sources as on-off fluid sources. Our model is largely based on the work of D.Anick, D.Mitra and M.M.Sondhi exploring buffer statistics of the superposition of on-off sources. Incorporating some of the TCP burstiness at the packet level while retaining the over all fluid approximation framework allows us to substantially improve the accuracy of the flow level congestion model at the price of a relatively small increase in mathematical complexity. The model is extensively validated against ns2 simulations and shown to perform better than the M/M/1/B based model typically used in this context.

AB Multipath routing can be effectively used to maximize the utilization of network resources for real-time traffic. In mobile ad-hoc network environments, this approach can suffer from co-channel interference due to the simultaneous transmission of packets via multiple routes. In this paper, by exploiting the directionality of directional antennas, a Directional Dynamic Source Routing (DDSR)-based Multipath routing protocol is proposed for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Three metrics are considered in the route discovery process in order to select the best multiple routes. These are hop count, beam overlaps, and the number of joint nodes between the different routes. The proposed directional routing protocol has shown to be capable of minimizing inter-path and intra-path interference, hence significantly improving the system throughput performance for simultaneous transmission of multimedia information over multiple routes.

We demonstrate this method, in one-dimension, through numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. We show that computer simulations successfully recover the profile of the optical trapping force, beyond the inflection point of the trapping potential for a range of particle sizes. We show, through laboratory experiments, that this technique is effective in recovering higher order terms, in a power series expansion of the trapping force, beyond the widely reported linear trap stiffness. We also show that the first order (stiffness) term in our series expansion is consistent with values reported in the literature.

AB Unexpected two-quantum resonances are observed in potassium vapor using two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy. These transitions are an unambiguous indication of many-body interactions, which arise from the long-range interatomic coupling that is responsible for resonance self-broadening.

AB We have generated and measured an approximation of an optical Schrodinger cat state by photon subtraction from a squeezed state. Using single-photon avalanche photodiode detectors and photon-number-resolving transition edge sensors, we were able to extract Wigner distributions for one or two photons subtracted from the squeezed state, resulting in both an odd and even cat state. The one-photon-subtracted Wigner distribution shows measured negative features (without any correction), indicating quantum character. The Wigner distribution of the two-photon-subtracted state is negative after correcting for homodyne losses. A full statistical analysis is under way to quantify the magnitude and fidelity of the cat states generated.

arrangement of multiplexed detectors. We introduced a novel algorithm
for multiplexing two SPADs that improves the reduction of deadtime by a
factor of 5 as compared to a single SPAD. We also note that together
with deadtime, the afterpulse rates and dark count rates can be reduced
via multiplexing. This work was supported in part by the

AB The development of the IEEE 802.16 mobile broadband wireless access or WiMAX standards promises to usher the next generation of mobile wireless networks. There is considerable ongoing interest in evaluating the performance of such networks with simulations forming the primary tool for conducting such studies. This paper presents the design and implementation of the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical layers of WiMAX based on IEEE802.16e standard on the ns-2 network simulator. Appropriate abstractions and methodologies are carefully chosen to ensure the maximal conformance of simulation to reality while keeping the computational complexity acceptable. Results that validate the accuracy of the simulator as well as those that describe its performance are presented.

AB Knowledge of the propagation media is a key step toward a successful transceiver design. Such information is typically gathered by conducting physical experiments, measuring and processing the corresponding data to obtain channel characteristics. In case of medical implants, this could be extremely difficult, if not impossible. In this paper, an immersive visualization environment is presented, which is used as a scientific instrument that gives us the ability to observe RF propagation from medical implants inside a human body. This virtual environment allows for more natural interaction between experts with different backgrounds, such as engineering and medical sciences. Here, we show how this platform has been used to determine a statistical path loss model for medical implant communication systems.

AB This paper presents a meta-analysis for covariates that affect performance of face recognition algorithms. Our review of the literature found six covariates for which multiple studies reported effects on face recognition performance. These are: age of the person, elapsed time between images, gender of the person, the person's expression, the resolution of the face images, and the race of the person. The results presented are drawn from 25 studies conducted over the past 12 years. There is near complete agreement between all of the studies that older people are easier to recognize than younger people, and recognition performance begins to degrade when images are taken more than a year apart. While individual studies find men or women easier to recognize, there is no consistent gender effect. There is universal agreement that changing expression hurts recognition performance. If forced to compare different expressions, there is still insufficient evidence to conclude that any particular expression is better than another. Higher resolution images improve performance for many modern algorithms. Finally, given the studies summarized here, no clear conclusions can be drawn about whether one racial group is harder or easier to recognize than another.

AB It's easy to take a face photograph, isn't it? What if that photograph is intended for input into an automatic face recognition system? Why is it then, even with a "captive audience" such as at a border crossing or point of entry, are so many face photographs unsuitable for face recognition? In a previous study, the authors suggested the use of a "face overlay" - a visual reticule that may be superimposed onto a live video feed to facilitate the face image capture process. In this study, we provide a detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the affordance, efficiency, effectiveness, and user-satisfaction of the visual overlay. Results of a controlled usability study suggest that the overlay improves face image quality, even when photographers are provided with no prior training..

ID PERFORMANCE
AB This paper introduces the concept of biometric-completeness. A problem is biometric-complete if solving the problem is "equivalent" to solving a biometric recognition problem. The concept of biometric-completeness is modeled on the informal concept of artificial intelligence (AI) completeness. The concept of biometric-completeness is illustrated by showing a formal equivalence between biometric recognition and quality assessment of biometric samples. The model allows for the inclusion of quality of biometric samples in verification decisions. The model includes most methods for incorporating quality into biometric systems. The key result in this paper shows that finding the perfect quality measure for any algorithm is equivalent to finding the perfect verification algorithm. Two results that follow from the main result are: finding the perfect quality measure is equivalent to solving the open-set and closed-set identification problems; and that a universal perfect quality measure cannot exist.

ID GROWTH
AB c-axis oriented GaN nanowires (NWs) grown on Si(111) using nitrogen plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) offer promising new approaches for realizing efficient LED technology. The nanowires grow remarkably free of defects, suggesting that eventual LED structures may operate with high quantum efficiencies. Furthermore, the dense NW morphology offers LED configurations with high light extraction efficiency compared to conventional planar LED structures. Interconnecting these vertically aligned nanowires is challenging because of their small diameters, extremely high aspect ratios, and random distributions on the substrate. We have developed novel packaging and interconnection methods by atomic layer deposition (ALD) multilayer encapsulation of the nanowires with 50 nm thick alumina layers and 40 nm thick tungsten layers. This nano-scaled multilayer also provides efficient thermal connections that are mechanically reliable. These encapsulated NWs were used as thermal test structures and the temperature dependence of the photoluminescence peak position as recorded from the portions of the nanowire protruding from the encapsulation was used to monitor the sample temperature. In principle, the internal junction-to-substrate thermal resistance of eventual NW LED structures could be reduced by 400 times by electroplating copper into the interstitial regions between the NWs. These novel packaging and interconnect technologies developed for GaN nanowire-based LEDs can be applied to many other nanowire-based microsystems.

AB The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) have provided direct broadcast of meteorological data to users since the mid-1970s. For the newest GOES series, GOES-R, GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) will replace the GOES Variable (GVAR) broadcast to continue to make ground-processed sensor data available to the weather operations, research, and Earth science communities on a free and open basis. The GOES-R Series will collect up to 50 times more data than current GOES satellites through instruments capable of advanced temporal, spatial, and spectral performance. Processed data will be broadcast to the user community with improved latency and enhanced resolution when compared to the current system.(12)
This paper describes the history of previous direct broadcast implementations for GOES satellites and the concept for the new GOES-R GRB data link. A dual polarization approach will be used to accommodate the 31 Mbps data rate within a frequency bandwidth constraint of 12MHz using a standard downlink modulation at 1690 MHz (L-band). The GRB processed instrument data source will be packetized compliant with Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) standard 133.0-B-1 and will utilize lossless data compression to fit within allocated bandwidth. Data blocking and accompanying header metadata will be used to minimize risk of loss due to link errors and allow for user verification of data integrity. To aid user transition, an emulated GVAR (eGVAR) service will be provided via non-operational GOES-N/P series satellite transponders.
Rebroadcast using dual circular polarization from geostationary orbit at L-band is a new implementation for NOAA satellite operations. This paper includes a discussion of the analysis and activities performed to date to reduce the implementation risk of the GOES-R GRB, and the impact of the significantly enhanced direct broadcast capability for current GOES users.

AB A metafilm (also referred to as a metasurface) is the surface equivalent of a metamaterial. More precisely, a metafilm is a surface distribution of suitably chosen electrically small scatterers. Metafilms are becoming popular as an alternative to full three-dimensional metamaterials. Unfortunately, many papers in the literature present incorrect interpretations and mischaracterizations of these metafilms. In this paper, we discuss an appropriate interpretation and characterization of metafilms and present a correct way to characterize a metafilm. We also present a retrieval approach for determining the uniquely defined quantities (the electric and magnetic polarizability densities of its constituent scatterers) that characterize a metafilm.

AB Efforts are underway in the Surface and Microanalysis Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to study the vapor transport mechanisms inside explosive trace detection instruments (ETD's) and produce standard test materials to verify their performance. In most swipe-based ETD's, a woven cloth is swiped across a surface to collect micrometer-sized particles from explosive contamination. The swipe is then introduced into a thermal desorption unit where it is rapidly heated to produce an explosive aerosol or vapor. This vapor is transported to a chemical detector, typically an ion mobility spectrometer, for analysis.
Understanding the underlying physics of the flow fields within these instruments allows researchers to design better test materials for calibration and verification. In this work, several ETD thermal desorption units are modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). With CFD, the governing equations of fluid motion are solved numerically for a given model geometry and boundary conditions. CFD allows one to visualize and animate flow patterns, streamlines, and recirculation zones, and reveals how vapor is transported from the surface of a swipe to the chemical analyzer. The flow-fields inside these complex geometries would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to observe with traditional experimental flow visualization techniques.
The thermal desorption units presented here have geometries representative of what is used in ETD's today. Results suggest that the transport efficiency of desorbed explosives can be optimized if appropriate screening procedures are followed Issues such as velocity magnitude, pressure differential, transient effects, and buoyancy effects will be discussed.

AB Adequate modeling of a power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is dependent on accurate characterization of the inter-electrode capacitances. With the advent of high-voltage silicon carbide (SIC) power MOSFETs, it has become important to develop a measurement system that can perform and record high-voltage capacitance versus voltage measurements on these devices. This paper describes a measurement apparatus that safely and accurately allows high voltage capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements to be performed. The measurements are based on conventional LCR (Inductance (L), Capacitance (C), and Resistance (R)) meter CV techniques but with added circuitry to interface the LCR meter to high voltage bias sources. The effects of the added circuitry are studied theoretically, and the CV measurement accuracy is verified with experimentation. High voltage capacitance voltage measurements are presented for both silicon and SiC power MOSFETs.

AB Designers and engineers use various engineering authoring tools, such as CAD, CAE, and PDM, to generate information objects (engineering objects). On the business side, enterprise level business process modelers use various business authoring tools, such as ERP, CRM, and LCA, to generate information objects (business objects). These information objects, both engineering and business, are represented using information standards. These standards are used to exchange information about engineering and business systems for enterprise level interoperability. One of the main problems of designers, engineers and process modelers is the selection of appropriate standards for interoperability. To ensure enterprise level interoperability, it is absolutely critical that information standards are compared and harmonized as there are overlapping and dissimilar standards available. In this paper, we will sketch a method towards comparing and harmonizing standards based on: 1) informal approach, 2) typology of standards, 3) use-case scenarios, and 4) ontologies. The method is explained using some engineering and business standards.

AB Substantial global climate changes due to global warming and the growing rate resource depletion have compelled several researchers to focus their research in the area of sustainability. Ensuring a sustainable future requires a systems approach. Sustainable systems are characterized by interlinked interactions at various levels spanning economic, ecological and societal issues. Emphasis on interactions within and across these levels is critical to the fundamental understanding of sustainable design and manufacturing systems, because tackling any one of the issues in isolation can result in unintended consequences along other dimensions. Sustainable systems are best understood in terms of information across products, processes, management (operational) aspects. In this paper, we outline several issues related to sharing this information across engineering and business units. We outline the information infrastructural needs to realize sustainable manufacturing, namely, trusted system of measurement methods and metrics, information models, simulation models, databases for toxic materials, and manufacturing products/processes, standards and best practices relevant to sustainable manufacturing, and validation, simulation and testing methodologies for information models and standards.

AB When wireless network access points (APs) fail, every mobile user that is connected through the failed resources performs an unanticipated hard handover, resulting in disrupted connections. The APs the users migrate to, if already heavily loaded, may restrict the number of incoming users using call admission control (CAC) algorithms. Rejected users will experience loss of connectivity for longer periods of time as they are forced to try to connect to other available APs. This paper quantifies the effect of limited capacity in target APs when multiple displaced users attempt to connect to them. We derive expressions for handover success probability and the mean number of displaced users that are successfully admitted on their first attempt. This leads to a simple, decentralized probabilistic scheme that displaced users can use to minimize crowding effects at target APs. We also obtain a performance bound by developing an optimal reassignment scheme using linear programming, and we compare both schemes to an algorithm that chooses an AP based on received signal strength (RSS).

AB In this paper, we propose a backbone construction scheme over heterogeneous ad hoc networks, where the network nodes have different characteristics such as communication capacity, processing power and energy resource. Most of the wireless backbone construction techniques focus on minimizing the number of backbone nodes. In our proposed scheme, we not only minimize the backbone size, but also take the characteristics of nodes into account when building a backbone. In the scheme, the more capable nodes have higher probability to serve as backbone nodes and provide a wireless highway over which end-to-end communication can take place. The proposed scheme includes two major steps, which can be solved by formulating as a Dominating Set (DS) problem and a Steiner Tree Problem with Minimum Number of Steiner Points (STP-MSP) respectively. We focus on the two subproblems and present a number of polynomial time approximation algorithms. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher average backbone node performance, while has approximately the same backbone size comparing with other schemes.

AB This paper investigates methods for link quality measurement of an indoor, time-varying wireless link. Link quality estimates are used for a number of higher-layer functions, including rate adaptation, routing, and topology control. The objective is to rapidly and efficiently estimate the current reliability of an RF link in terms of its packet success probability in the presence of a time-varying channel. We compare various approaches to estimating the current packet success rate (PSR), including packet counting and several methods employing physical layer signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements. Among the SNR-based estimators, we consider those using a simple moving average, an exponential moving average, and a Yule-Walker predictor of the current SNR. The analysis shows that the SNR-based estimators are more efficient than packet counting methods in terms of the number of measurements needed, are more accurate when link quality variability increases, and are more flexible in terms of predicting the PSR for various bit rates and packet sizes. An important requirement, however, of the SNR-based estimators is a priori knowledge of the SNR-PSR relationship, which is environment- and radio-dependent. An efficient methodology for obtaining this mapping is presented.

DE Synthetic aperture radar
AB High-resolution imaging through walls and other materials using microwave signals serves amongst other applications in the rapid detection of human maneuvering, rescue missions in collapsed buildings, and target feature extraction. While narrowband Doppler radar in the millimeter-wave or infrared spectrum can provide good resolution through clothing and packaging, penetration through denser sheetrock, plaster, and brick requires operation below 10 GHz; this band however yields poor resolution. As an alternative, Ultra-Wideband radar operating in this band boosts the bandwidth which translates into fine range resolution; still it requires an aperture length of several meters for comparable cross-range resolution. The associated cost and portability in realizing such an aperture through antenna arrays or fixed-length scanners have limited their lengths to the order of 1 meter in prototype systems to date. In this work, we propose a novel aperture taking form as a variable-length scanner or mobile robot. The wide dynamic range of our system coupled with its unrestricted aperture length allows us to generate high-resolution images up to a range of 8 meters or more.

AB In this paper, we study the weighted sum rate (w-rate) maximization algorithms with proportional rate fairness (PRF) and delay constraints for the downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. First, based on the Lagrangian duality optimization tool, we design a weighted sum rate maximization scheme based on instantaneous transmit power and bit error rate (BER) constraints. Second, to meet the rate fairness constraint imposed by different users' diverse traffic demands, we design a fast algorithm to search for the optimal weight factors, and implement the traffic-matching duality scheme to achieve the long-term target PRF and enhanced revenue rate. Third, we provide analytical channel throughput formulas for equal power allocation (EPA) and waterfilling (WF) power allocations schemes, and also evaluate the actual throughput taking into account the traffic random arrival process, limited buffer size, and transmission delay deadline. Simulation results show that the proposed traffic-matching duality scheme can achieve a significantly higher revenue rate than the fixed weight duality scheme which only tries to maximize the revenue rate but does not match the incoming traffic.

AB In this paper, we investigate how Multiple Description Coding (MDC) can improve the user's satisfaction for a group of heterogeneous destinations for video multicast over wireless ad hoc networks. Specifically, we explore the independent-description property of MDC with multiple paths to improve the user's satisfaction. In our approach, the assignment of multiple description (MD) video is randomly done by a multicast source node. Based on the assignment of MD video, the multicast source constructs multiple multicast trees accordingly. Simulation results demonstrate that our approach can achieve higher user's satisfaction regardless of the multicast group size.

AB In this paper, we analyze a new type of delay tolerant networks (DTN) where each node owns multiple dedicated messengers, called pigeons. The only form of internode communication is for a pigeon to periodically carry a batch of messages originated at the home node, deliver to the corresponding destination nodes and return home. We name this as homing-pigeon (HoP) based routing mechanism, which is an effective way to overcome end-to-end disconnection in DTN. In this work, we model the HoP mechanism analytically with a periodic pigeon scheduling algorithm. Our analysis focuses on understanding the pigeon departure frequency from the home node while keeping the message delivery ratio above a given threshold. Simulation results are given to validate our analysis.

AB We utilize low-frequency noise measurements to examine the sub-threshold voltage (sub-V-TH) operation of highly scaled devices. We rind that the sub-V-TH low-frequency noise is dominated by random telegraph noise (RTN). The RTN is exacerbated both by channel dimension scaling and reducing the gate overdrive into the sub-V-TH regime. These large RTN fluctuations greatly impact circuit variability and represent a troubling obstacle that must be solved if sub-V-TH operation is to become a viable solution for low-power applications.

AB A new and more accurate fast-IDVG measurement methodology is utilized to examine the transient degradation and recovery associated with the negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI). The results reveal that the anomalously large initial degradations reported in the recent literature are actually due to high-field stress acceleration and are not representative of low-field NBTI phenomena. Our observations at these higher fields reveal the presence of an, as yet unaccounted for, electron trapping/de-trapping component. The electron trapping is a signature of high-field stress degradation. While this high-field stress acceleration is unavoidable, care must be taken to account for this component in NBTI analysis. Collectively, our observations indicate that this high-field stress component is present and unaccounted for in a large portion of the recent NBTI literature.

ID DESIGN
AB Modeling the navigation structure of a dynamic web application is a challenging task because of the presence of dynamic pages. In particular, there are two problems to be dealt with: (1) the page explosion problem, i.e., the number of dynamic pages may be huge or even infinite; and (2) the request generation problem, i.e., many dynamic pages may not be reached unless appropriate user requests are supplied. As a user request typically consists of multiple parameter values, the request generation problem can be further divided into two problems: (1) How to select appropriate values for individual parameters? (2) How to effectively combine individual parameter values to generate requests?
This paper presents a combinatorial approach to building a navigation graph. The novelty of our approach is two-fold. First, we use an abstraction scheme to control the page explosion problem. In this scheme, pages that are likely to have the same navigation behavior are grouped together, and are represented as a single node in a navigation graph. Grouping pages reduces and bounds the size of a navigation graph for practical applications. Second, assuming that values of individual parameters are supplied by using other techniques or generated manually by the user, we combine parameter values in a way that achieves a well-defined combinatorial coverage called pairwise coverage. Using pairwise coverage can significantly reduce the number of requests that have to be submitted while still achieving effective coverage of the navigation structure. We report a prototype tool called Tansuo, and apply the tool to five open source web applications. Our empirical results indicate that Tansuo can efficiently generate web navigation graphs for these applications.

AB Optimizing complex displays is difficult because there are many alternative ways of mapping the data to its graphical representation. In this paper we report on a study employing a method we call "interactive design space hill climbing". This involves first parameterizing the mapping from data to display. Next, using an interactive interface, designers and domain experts attempt to construct good designs by interactively changing parameters settings based on a random starting point. In our study we applied this method to the problem of 2D flow visualization: users adjusted 22 different sliders under each of 11 mappings to try to create an optimal display of a flow field from an ocean flow model. The results suggest that some variables should have settings in a narrow range. We conclude that employing designers with a human in the loop hill climbing interface can be a good overall solution for complex visual display designs in cases where a relatively simple parameterization is possible.

AB A set of Argo temperature data collected in the equatorial Atlantic [0 degrees-5 degrees N, 55 degrees W-10 degrees E] was used to estimate the mixed layer depth (MLD) and associated thermal variability for the period between January 2002 to April 2009 MLD climatology were estimated from 0.3 degrees*0.3 degrees Median binned temperature profile using temperature difference criterion with a reference layer at 10m depth. At the 30m depth, 22 degrees C cold water flows from the south onto the continental shelfs of Ghana-Cote D'Ivoire indicating the potential source of nutrient rich bottom water that nourishes the MLD and drives biological production. The MLD was shallow at the east and relatively deeper at the western end of the equatorial Atlantic. Variability within the MLD can be associated with variations in the westward flow of the warm and saline Equatorial Undercurrent. Further warming of the equatorial Atlantic has a potential of increasing the mixed layer depth and affecting upper surface ocean processes. Keywords.

AB Current radiometric calibration standards, specifically blackbody and lamp-based optical radiation sources, produce spatially, spectrally, and temporally simple scenes. Hyperspectral imaging instruments, which in-practice view spatially, spectrally, and temporally complex scenes, would benefit from advanced radiometric artifacts that more closely resemble scenes the sensor will ultimately view. Techniques and artifacts that advance sensor characterization and algorithms that reduce the impact of scattered light on sensor performance are presented in this work. Example applications of the new technologies and algorithms on remote sensing hyperspectral imaging instruments are presented.

AB Techniques for the retrieval of snow properties from Ku- and X-band radar backscatter measurements were Investigated. The work contributes to feasibility studies for the CoReH2O satellite mission of ESA for which a dual frequency SAR, operating at Ku-band (17.2 GHz) and X-band (9.6 GHz), VV and VH polarizations, is proposed. A main parameter to be measured is the snow water equivalent (SWE). For the retrieval of SWE it is necessary to separate the backscatter contributions of the snow volume and the background target and to account for effects of snow gram size. The current version of the SWE retrieval algorithm applies the maximum likelihood approach matching radiative transfer forward computations with measured backscatter data. An application example for SWE retrieval is shown for the Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX-II) in Alaska, using Ku-band data of the NASA-JPL PolScat and X-band data of the TerraSAR-X satellite as input

AB Recently, a compact system, able to record raw GPS intermediate frequency (IF) samples has been designed and tested by the research group at the CU/Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department. Such an approach provides the most fundamental measurement, enabling the most advanced and complete post-processing, with data volumes on the order of 1GB/minute.
In 2008 this system was flying on board the NOAA WP-3D aircraft which collected research-mission data on Hurricane Ike. During two flights there was collected about 800 GB of raw data for flight lags that transverse the hurricane eye and away from it. After the flights the correlation waveforms for both direct and reflected signals were retrieved from the raw data for all available satellites and sea surface roughness estimates were produced.
Those retrievals were compared with the Step Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) measurements of the surface wind speed. As expected, the data show a high sensitivity of the GPS bistatic radar signals to ocean surface roughness However, the system of swells generated by various parts of the hurricane complicates the picture and makes the problem of wind retrieval non-trivial.

AB The U S Department of Agriculture (USDA) International Production Assessment Division (IPAD) is responsible for providing monthly global crop estimates that heavily influence global commodity market access These estimates are derived from a merging of many data sources including satellite and ground observations, and more than 20 years of climatology and crop behavior data over key agricultural areas The goal of IPAD is to provide timely and accurate estimates of global crop conditions for use in up-to-date commodity intelligence reports A crucial requirement of these global crop yield forecasts is the regional characterization of surface and sub-surface soil moisture However, due to the spatial heterogeneity and dynamic nature of precipitation events and soil wetness, accurate estimation of regional land surface-atmosphere interactions based sparse ground measurements is difficult [1] Temporal resolution is particularly important for predicting adequate surface wetting and drying between precipitation events and is closely integrated with CADRE We attempt to improve upon the existing system by applying an Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) data assimilation system to integrate surface soil moisture retrievals from the NASA Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) into the USDA soil moisture model The improved temporal resolution and spatial coverage of the satellite-based EOS Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) is envisaged to provide a better characterization of root zone soil moisture at the regional scale and enable more accurate crop monitoring in key agricultural areas
This work aims at evaluating the utility of merging satellite-retrieved soil moisture estimates with the IPAD two-layer soil moisture model used within the DBMS We present a quantitative analysis of the assimilated soil moisture product over West Africa (9 degrees N-20 degrees N. 20 degrees W-20 degrees E) This region contains many key agricultural areas and has a high agro-meteorological gradient from desert and semi-and vegetation in the North, to grassland, trees and crops in the South, thus providing an ideal location for evaluating the assimilated soil moisture product over multiple land cover types and conditions A data denial experimental approach is utilized to isolate the added utility of integrating remotely-sensed soil moisture by comparing assimilated soil moisture results obtained using (relatively) low-quality precipitation products obtained from real-time satellite imagery to baseline model runs forced with higher quality rainfall An analysis of root-zone anomalies for each model simulation suggests that the assimilation of AMSR-E surface soil moisture retrievals can add significant value to USDA root-zone predictions derived from real-time satellite precipitation products

AB The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) onboard the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R platform will offer enhanced capabilities for satellite-based rainfall estimation and nowcasting over the current-generation GOES The development of a rainfall nowcasting algorithm for GOES-R has relied extensively on proxy data from the Spinning Enhanced Infrared Visible Imager (SEVIRI) over Europe and Africa; since its 11 spectral bands are similar to bands that will be available on GOES-R. This rainfall nowcasting framework starts with estimates of current rain rate derived from visible and infrared data using an algorithm calibrated against rain rates from polar-orbiting microwave sensors. This current rain rate estimate and its immediate predecessor are analyzed using a K-Means feature detection technique to determine the motion of the identified precipitation features, and these motions are extrapolated forward in time to produce nowcasts of both accumulated 0-3 h future rainfall and the probability of measurable rainfall during the same time period This paper describes the development of this algorithm framework.

AB MERIS Level 1 and Level 2 water products will be improved in the 3(rd) MERIS reprocessing which is planned to take place before the end of 2009 The instrument radiometric degradation model will be updated Improvements to the atmospheric correction in both case 1 and case 2 waters will be implemented. A vicarious adjustment strategy to remove residual biases in the Level 2 marine signals will be put in place In addition, a cloud screening scheme with improved detection capabilities will improve the cirrus detection capability.
In parallel, long term algorithmic improvements are being pursued and are partially covered by three exploratory ongoing studies. The first study addresses the limitation of the current MERIS atmospheric correction scheme in sun glint conditions The second aims at defining an operational adjacency effect correction. The third study makes use of the ability of MERIS to measure transmission in the O-2-A oxygen band to better identify and characterize clouds and aerosols

AB Validation of the ASCAT wind vectors show that the ASCAT wind speed errors are within 2 m/s RMS error for wind speeds up to 15 m/s, however they exhibit and increasing low bias beyond 15 m/s. An examination of the ASCAT sigma(0) revealed some additional sensitivity at the higher wind speeds that was not adequately represented by the current geophysical model function (GMF). A revised GMF is empirically derived using a near-real-time QuikSCAT as a surface truth. A new DC term in the GMF is derived and replaced in the operational CMOD5.5 GMF Validation of the revised GMF shows that the wind speed retrievals are closer to QuikSCAT for wind speeds > 15 m/s than the operational retrievals, while wind direction retrievals remain the same for all wind speeds as expected.

AB The objective of this work is to demonstrate the potential of passive microwave data in monitoring flood and discharge conditions. The study case is the recent flood in Iowa in summer 2008. AMSR-E 37 GHz data have been used to calculate a Polarization Ratio Variation Index (PRVI). This new index uses the classic Polarization Ratio Index along with its mean and standard deviation to detect anomalies in soil moisture and/or flooded area extent. The PRVI have been used to delineate inundated areas in Iowa. Then surface area of inundated regions has been compared with downstream discharge observations. A rating curve has been developed to assess the relationship between the extent of flooded area and discharge magnitude downstream. A time lag term has been introduced to account for the delay between water surface extent and stream flow. Time lag values showed that this parameter is a good proxy for watershed drainage time and time of concentration (i.e. the flood wave propagation time plus the longest runoff time in the watershed.) suggesting that passive microwave image can be use to measure key watershed hydrologic parameters.

AB Recently, 1/f and random telegraph noise (RTN) studies have been used to infer information about bulk dielectric defects' spatial and energetic distributions. These analyses rely on a noise framework which involves charge exchange between the inversion layer and the bulk dielectric defects via elastic tunneling. In this study, we extracted the characteristic capture and emission time constants from RTN in highly scaled nMOSFETs and showed that they are inconsistent with the elastic tunneling picture dictated by the physical thickness of the gate dielectric (1.4 nm). Consequently, our results suggest that an alternative model is required and that a large body of the recent RTN and 1/f noise defect profiling literature very likely needs to be re-interpreted.

AB Recent work has shown that the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) can be significantly suppressed through the incorporation of fluorine in the gate oxide of pure SiO2 pMOSFETs. In this study, we use spin dependent recombination and standard gated diode current measurements to investigate the atomic-scale processes involved in fluorine's suppression of NBTI. We find that fluorine can effectively passivate Si/SiO2 P-b0 center defect precursors, but is much less effective at passivating Si/SiO2 P-b1 center defect precursors. Since these two defects have significantly different densities of states, our results may be useful in modeling NBTI response in fluorinated oxide devices. Our results also provide a fundamental explanation for the observation that fluorination has a strong effect on NBTI in "pure" SiO2 MOS devices, but is ineffective at reducing NBTI in nitrided oxide devices.

An electromagnetic reverberation chamber is used for the tests of the antennas. A reverberation chamber is basically a shielded room (metallic wall) with an arbitrarily shaped metallic rotating paddle and is an ideal environment for measuring the total radiated power of an antenna.

AB This paper presents a monolithically-integrated, broadband, lumped-element, symmetrical-hybrid power divider centered at 20 GHz which was designed and fabricated to uniformly distribute power to arrays of Josephson junctions for superconducting voltage standards. This solution achieves a tenfold decrease in chip area, and a two-fold increase in bandwidth when compared to a standard distributed 180 degrees-hybrid by utilizing LC II sections and a coplanar-waveguide phase inverter instead of transmission lines. A single divider demonstrates 0.5 dB maximum insertion loss, and a 1.5:1 VSWR bandwidth of 1323 GHz. An eight-way, three-level, binary, power divider network is characterized in a divider/attenuator/combiner back-to-back measurement configuration with a 20 dB match bandwidth from 11.5-21.5 GHz. In the 15-22 GHz band of interest, the maximum insertion loss for the sixteen-way divider network is 1.0 dB, with an average of 0.5 dB.

AB Performance evaluation of PMUs to confirm the consistency of phasor measurements is of a great importance since it promotes the interchangeability among PMUs from different manufacturers. This paper presents a method for evaluating the dynamic performance of PM Us when exposed to a step change of input signals. A phasor estimation scheme is proposed to achieve high accuracy of reference phasors. An interleaving technique applied on output phasors can equivalently increase the reporting rate and can precisely depict the PMU behavior under the step input. Four types of tests with balanced and unbalanced three-phase step signals are performed as reference signals to characterize the step responses. A set of programs are developed to automate step-based tests. Three commercial PMUs are selected to perform step tests using the dynamic test system developed at NIST. The test results are outlined at the end.

The mission addresses the need for spatially detailed snow and ice observations in order to improve the representation of the cryosphere in climate models and to improve the knowledge and prediction of water cycle variability and changes. CoRe-H2O will observe the extent, water equivalent and melting state of the snow cover, accumulation and diagenetic facies of glaciers, permafrost features, and sea ice types. The sensor is a dual frequency SAR, operating at 17 GHz and 9.6 GHz, VV and VH polarizations. This configuration enables the decomposition of the scattering signal for retrieving physical properties of snow and ice.

AB The National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) system is based on WSR-88D technology enhanced with the significant capability of a Phased Array Antenna. The agile beam capability provides a unique and powerful tool to focus weather radar asset on observation of severe weather phenomena including structures that lead to formation of these storms. The NWRT system has demonstrated the ability to provide weather data consistent with that from adjacent WSR systems at greatly reduced volume coverage time. Significant success has been reported in use of this tool for gathering and presenting specific, real-time storm-cell 3-D data to weather scientists and meteorologists for in-depth interpretation of these pencil-beam radar returns. Specific extensions to the conventional weather radar capabilities now in place include Beam Multiplexing (spatial filtering), Oversampling and Whitening (signal processing) and Transverse Wind Estimation (multi-beam). The latter capability has recently been added by activating the difference beam channels of the array and sequentially sampling and comparing these with the conventional sum-only mode. Under the auspices of a National Science Foundation, Major Research Instrument (NSF/MRI) grant, and in cooperation with the United States Navy, the NWRT is now being extended with an 8-channel digital receiver for simultaneous processing of sum, difference and ancillary beam returns. Expectations are high that application of multi-beam adaptation algorithms and other signal processing techniques using multiple channels will lead to improved detection and storm queuing techniques to greatly extend the forecast lead time for severe storms. Multi-channel capability also opens the NWRT for the possibility of testing Multi-Function radar system algorithms and operations. This paper will describe the attributes of the COTS, rf-system extensions and the specific steps being taken to baseline these changes to the current NWRT system performance.

AB We summarize recent results at NIST to develop high-performance yet highly miniaturized magnetic sensors based on atomic vapors confined in microfabricated alkali vapor cells. These sensors currently achieve sensitivities in the range of a few tens of femtotesla in a 1 Hz bandwidth in detection volumes of about 1 mm(3). They require no cooling and only a small amount of heating, making them ideal for deployment in remote, power starved locations.

AB We have applied high amplitude (similar to 10 MA/cm(2)) alternating current (AC) at 100 Hz and direct current (DC) to copper interconnect lines with widths in the few-micrometer range covered with a thick layer of SiO(2). Under our test conditions of Joule heating, the lines typically fail with lifetimes from 100 to 100,000 s, with a well-defined correlation between cyclic temperature range and the logarithm of lifetime. Post-test scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination reveals substantial voiding and grain growth, particularly in AC tests at the higher cyclic temperature ranges. Lines without the full SiO(2) constraint fail much sooner than the constrained lines for similar cyclic temperature ranges. The less-constrained lines also had surface contours that were not present on the fully constrained lines. Optical observations during the tests indicate that the void generation behavior appears different during the AC and DC tests, with a saturation behavior occurring in the AC tests, sometimes long before failure. The distributed void density in our AC tests was at least as great as that in the DC tests.

ID ALKALI-METAL ATOMS; ABSOLUTE FREQUENCY; ENERGY-LEVELS; LASER; TRANSITION
AB A review of the theoretical calculations of the black-body radiation (BBR) shifts in various systems of interest to the atomic clock research in presented. The calculations for monovalent systems, such as Ca+, Sr+, and Rb are carried out using the relativistic all-order single-double method where all single and double excitations of the Dirac-Fock wave function are included to all orders of perturbation theory. New method for accurate calculations of BBR shifts for divalent systems such as Sr is discussed. The new approach combines the relativistic all-order method and the configuration interaction method. The evaluation of the uncertainty of the BBR shift values is discussed in detail.

ID ACCELERATION SENSITIVITY; CRYSTAL-OSCILLATORS
AB The performance of microwave components is sensitive to vibrations to some extent. Among them, microwave cables and connectors, bandpass filters, mechanical phase shifters and some nonlinear components are the most sensitive. The local oscillator is one of the prime performance-limiting components in microwave systems ranging from simple RF receivers to advanced radars. The increasing present and future demand for low acceleration sensitive oscillators, approaching 10(-13)/g, requires a re-examination of sensitivities of basic nonoscillatory building block components under vibration. The purpose of this paper is to study the phase-modulation (PM) noise performance of an assortment of oscillatory and nonoscillatory microwave components under vibration at 10 GHz. We point out some challenges and provide suggestions for accurate measurement of vibration sensitivity of these components. We also study the effect of vibration on the amplitude-modulation (AM) noise.

AB We present initial measurements of an atomic magnetometer in which the microfabricated sensor head is coupled to the control system by optical fibers. Because there are no electrical connections, the sensor head is largely nonmagnetic, and degradation of the magnetometer performance due to internal magnetic fields is avoided. The sensor head is fabricated by use of methods derived from micro-electromechanical (MEMS) systems and integrated with off-the-shelf micro-optical components. Light is coupled through fibers to and from the sensor head for interrogation of the atoms as well as temperature stabilization of the vapor cell.

AB The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) has a unique capability to collect low-light imaging data of the earth at night. The OLS and its predecessors have collected this style of data on a nightly global basis since 1972. The digital archive of OLS data extends back to 1992. Over the years several global nighttime tights products have been generated. NGDC has now produced a set of global cloud-free nighttime lights products, specifically processed for the detection of changes in lighting emitted by human settlements, spanning 1992-93 to 2008. While the OLS is far from ideal for observing nighttime fights, the DMSP nighttime lights products have been successfully used in modeling the spatial distribution of population density, carbon emissions, and economic activity.

AB A standard methodology exists for estimating the flux from front projection displays by sampling the projected illuminance of a white source signal. With the advent and use of white projection primaries, a dramatic increase in flux can be achieved over the combination of red, green, and blue primaries alone. However, saturated-color areas in an image are constrained to low flux levels relative to the display maximum and further undergo a perceptual compression in relative lightness when a white primary is used. As a result, bright saturated colors cannot be rendered accurately and the appearance of full-color imagery is distorted. Due to these problems, the display of color-accurate imagery does not generally use the white primary. We verify a measurement method that fills the need for providing an equivalent flux measurement that will better describe the performance of all RGB and RGBW projectors when they render full-color imagery.

AB Access control mechanisms control which subjects (such as users or processes) have access to which resources. To facilitate managing access control, policy authors increasingly write access control policies in XACML. Access control policies written in XACML could be amenable to multiple-duty-related.security leakage, which grants unauthorized access to a user when the user takes multiple duties (e.g., multiple roles in role-based access control policies). To help policy authors detect multiple-duty-related security leakage, we develop a novel framework that analyzes policies and detects cases that potentially cause the leakage. In such cases, a user taking multiple roles (e.g., both r(1) and r(2)) is given a different access decision from the decision given to a user taking an individual role (e.g., r(1) and r(2), respectively). We conduct experiments on II XACML policies and our empirical results show that our framework effectively pinpoints potential multiple-duty-related security leakage for policy authors to inspect.

AB Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. Results of simulations are expected to provide reliable information for decision makers. But potential errors may be introduced during the M&S development lifecycle. It is critical to ensure to build the right model and the model is built right. M&S community has had intensive Verification and Validation (V&V) research. But V&V activities are often not formally performed in most of the cases. For those who perform V&V activities, they normally wait until development of the simulation modeling is finished. Practical and solid validation techniques are hence needed. In this paper, the authors propose a validation methodology that allows parallel simulation development and model parameter validation, i.e. first the simulation model can be built with unknown parameters included; and then, those parameters can be estimated using a built-in constraint optimizer. Finally the initially unknown parameters are replaced with the found optimal values. The model is then ready for future output prediction. As an example application, a simple supply chain cost simulation model was discussed using the proposed methodology.

We demonstrate the practical application of table-top zone plate EUV microscopes that can image nanostructures with a spatial resolution of 54 nm and below and exposure times as short as 1.2 ns, the duration of a single laser shot.

ID LAYERED-SILICATE NANOCOMPOSITES; SCATTERING
AB We present a simple method to improve the transparency and rheological properties of polystyrene/organoclay nanocomposites. Such composites are typically prepared using organophilic derivatives of commercial montmorillonite (MMT) clays that contain a wide range of particle sizes. Our approach is to fractionate the native MMT clay to exclude large aggregates and then modify the fractionated clay (FMT) by a surfactant treatment (the resulting organoclay is termed o-FMT). Polystyrene nanocomposites made From the o-FMT are then compared with those made from a commercial organoclay having the same surfactant treatment. The o-FMT-based composites exhibit much better rheological properties (e.g., their elastic moduli at low frequencies are similar to 10 times higher) at equivalent mass loadings. Moreover, the o-FMT-based materials also have better transparency: e.g., a 10% o-FMT sample transmits as much light as a sample with 5% commercial clay. Transmission electron microscopy confirms that these differences in properties are related to microscructural differences; i.e., large aggregates are generally absent in the o-FMT samples. Clay fractionation may thus be a general strategy to enhance the properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites.

AB We investigate the self-assembly of ordered nanowires from length-purified single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in aqueous suspensions of the biological surfactant sodium deoxycholate. Macroscopically straight and nearly periodic linear arrangements of aligned individual SWCNTs are found to self-assemble in two-dimensional geometries from nanotube suspensions that are otherwise stable in the bulk, which we attribute to a dominance of surface effects under strong confinement. Directed self-assembly is explored through surface patterning, opening up new potential routes to nanotube manipulation for optical diagnostics and applications that require ordered arrangements of mutually aligned SWCNTs. The stability of these structures to thermal fluctuations and changes in solution chemistry are surveyed with near-infrared fluorescence microscopy.

AB Ultrasound has potential as a non-destructive analytical technique to provide real-time online assessments of matrix evolution in cell-hydrogel constructs used in tissue engineering. In these studies, chondrocytes were encapsulated in poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels, and gel degradation was manipulated to provide conditions with varying distribution of the large cartilage extracellular matrix molecule, collagen. Mechanical properties and matrix accumulations were simultaneously measured for each condition during 9.5 weeks of in vitro culture. Ultrasound data were used to construct cross-sectional B-scan images for qualitative observations of evolving constructs. Ultrasound data were also analyzed to calculate the speed of sound (SoS) and slope of attenuation (SoA) in developing constructs and a non-degrading hydrogel control without encapsulated chondrocytes. SoS and SoA were calculated from 50 and 100 MHz ultrasound data, and sample correlation coefficients were calculated to identify important relationships between these ultrasound parameters and mechanical/biochemical properties of the evolving matrix. SoA appears to be more sensitive to the density of accumulated matrix molecules than SoS, while SoS appeared to be more sensitive to mechanical modulus than SoA in measurements performed at 100 MHz. Correlation analysis revealed that ultrasound measurements at 100 MHz are more likely to be good predictors of matrix evolution and neotissue function than measurements at 50 MHz. Rigorous studies of the relationships identified in this study will lead to non-destructive real-time monitoring that will be useful in combination with bioreactors used to promote and study cartilage regeneration.

AB The Biological Macromolecular Crystallization Database (BMCD) has been a publicly available resource since 1988, providing a curated archive of information on crystal growth for proteins and other biological macromolecules. The BMCD content has recently been expanded to include 14 372 crystal entries. The resource continues to be freely available at http://xpdb.nist.gov:8060/BMCD4. In addition, the software has been adapted to support the Java-based Lucene query language, enabling detailed searching over specific parameters, and explicit search of parameter ranges is offered for five numeric variables. Extensive tools have been developed for import and handling of data from the RCSB Protein Data Bank. The updated BMCD is called version 4.02 or BMCD4. BMCD4 entries have been expanded to include macromolecule sequence, enabling more elaborate analysis of relations among protein properties, crystal-growth conditions and the geometric and diffraction properties of the crystals. The BMCD version 4.02 contains greatly expanded content and enhanced search capabilities to facilitate scientific analysis and design of crystal-growth strategies.

AB The nature of fatigue in bulk silicon subjected to cyclic loading is considered. Indentation tests with hard spheres of millimeter-scale radius are used to generate fractures principally in {100} silicon Surfaces, but also in selected {111} silicon, polycrystalline silicon and {100} monocrystalline germanium surfaces. Pronounced damage accumulation is observed with progressive indenter cycling, as ejector of slabs and particles onto the specimen Surfaces. It is argued that the fatigue arises from sliding at friction points within the crack interfaces, with consequent production of debris outside and (ultimately) within the contact. Section views through the indentation sites provide clues as to the material ejection process, involving coalescence of secondary cracks into a primary ring crack to create the slabs. Ejection is facilitated by linkage between adjacent ring cracks, leading ultimately to mass removal. Published by Elsevier Ltd oil behalf of Acta Materialia Inc.

AB This study evaluates the bond strength and related properties of photo-polymerizable, remineralizing amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) polymeric composite-adhesive systems to dentin after various periods of aqueous aging at 37 degrees C. An experimental ACP base and lining composite was made from a photo-activated resin comprising 2,2-bis[p-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and zirconyl dimethacrylate (ZrDMA); designated BTHZ. An experimental orthodontic composite was formulated from a photo-activated resin comprising ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), TEGDMA, HEMA and methacryloxyethyl phthalate (MEP); designated ETHM. In both composite series three fillers were compared: (i) freshly precipitated zirconium-modified ACP (as-prepared Zr-ACP), (ii) milled Zr-ACP and (iii) an ion-leachable fluoride glass. In addition to the shear bond strength (SBS), work to fracture and failure modes of the orthodontic composites were determined. The SBS of the base and lining ACP composites appeared unaffected by filler type or immersion time. In the orthodontic ACP composite series, milled ACP composites showed initial mechanical advantages over as-prepared ACP composites and produced higher incidence of a failure mode consistent with stronger adhesion. After six months of aqueous exposure, 80% of specimens failed at the dentin-primer interface, with a 42% overall reduction in bond strength. BTHZ and ETHM based ACP composites are potentially effective anti-demineralizing-remineralizing agents with possible clinical utility as protective base-liners and orthodontic cements, respectively. The analysis of the bond strength and failure modalities suggests that milled ACP composites may offer greater potential in clinical applications.

AB The requirements for diagnostic and surgical lighting have remained largely unchanged over the past several years-illumination level, glare, shadow and tissue heating reduction are the dominant factors in choosing a lighting system. Since human visual perception remains the key tool in clinical diagnostics and surgery, it is worth exploring ways to heighten visual contrast between areas of interest with respect to surrounding tissues. A simulation program for predicting test illuminant spectral distribution that would enhance contrast between standard color patches typical of tissue color is used. Data images of the color patches under the predicted test illuminant as realized using a spectrally tunable source are collected. Details of the simulation program, the equipment used for this test and results of the test will be discussed.

ID IMPLEMENTATION
AB This chapter begins by describing characteristics a process planning language should have. Then it discusses the extent to which four process planning languages have these characteristics. The first two of these are STEP standard process planning languages (all of AP 240 and part of AI' 238). The third is part of ISO 14649. The fourth, called FBICS-ALPS, is a version of the ALPS language adapted for FBICS, a system that does automatic feature-based process planning. Next the chapter summarizes the machining features available in AP 238. ISO 14649, and AP 224. The way in which FBICS does feature-based process planning is presented and a system is described that translates FBICS plans into ISO 14649 plans (which are conceptually identical to AP 238 plans). Finally, the chapter is summarized, and improvements in FBICS needed to make it industrially useful are presented.

DT Article; Book Chapter
ID MACHINING SYSTEM; POCKETS; CNC
AB This chapter discusses the realization of direct translation of feature-based CAM files into feature-based CNC part program files. The information infrastructure that allows this to happen is STEP-NC, as described by ISO 14649 Parts 10 and 11. Among the many benefits cited for STEP-NC, the elimination of the costly and inefficient process of post-processing using one standard CNC definition is most commonly cited. However, this chapter argues that a much greater benefit can be found using STEP-NC to resolve the CAM/CNC impedance mismatch where CAM comprehensive process information is reduced into motion primitives. The CAM/CNC impedance mismatch and resulting lack of process information make intelligent machining difficult. Given this perspective, a demonstration system was developed to show that feature-based CNC is possible with STEP-NC, which preserves more feature-based CAM process knowledge to make intelligent machining possible. The demonstration system incorporates: (1) part representation using STEP-NC Part 21 files, (2) reading and analyzing feature-based elements of the STEP-NC, (3) translation into a CNC feature-based representation, and (4) generation of actual CNC programs relying on conversational programming "Canned Cycles". Cutting and simulation tests have confirmed the advantages of the approach. Overall, the demonstration system shows that a standard information infrastructure such as STEP-NC is essential for advancing manufacturing to enable improvements in efficiency, product quality, life-cycle cost, and time-to-market.

TI Semi-automated model matching using version difference

ID DATABASES; FORMALISM
AB Interoperability of software is a critical requirement in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, where a number of data exchange standards have been created to enable data exchange among different software packages. To be able to comply with existing data exchange standards, the software developers need to match their internal data schemas to the schema defined in a standard and vice versa. The process of matching two large scale data models is time consuming and cumbersome when performed manually, and becomes even more challenging when a Source and/or a target model is being updated frequently to meet the ever expanding real world requirements. While several prior studies discussed the need for approaches toward automated or semi-automated schema matching, an approach that builds on existing matches between two models has rarely been studied. In this paper, we present a semi-automated approach for model matching. This approach leverages a given set of existing matching between two models and upgrades those matching when a new version of a target model is released. The paper describes in detail a list of upgrade patterns generated and validated through a prototype by matching a domain-specific data model to several recent releases of the industry foundation classes.

AB Since the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) was published in 1993 it has changed the evaluation of physical and chemical measurements. Nowadays almost all high level measurements include a detailed evaluation of uncertainty. This allows the scientific community to do the next step and evaluate uncertainty for derived evaluations like parameter fittings. The evaluation of the uncertainty for complicated parameters like the results from non-linear fitting procedures can be carried out in two steps. The first step is a sensitivity analysis of the evaluation algorithm and a test of mutual independence of the parameters. If the fitting algorithm is, sufficiently robust a linear model is derived from the fitting algorithm which is then used in a second step to evaluate the uncertainty of the fitting parameters. This paper discusses the sensitivity analysis in detail with the emphasis on possibilities to check for robustness and linearity. An efficient method based on covering arrays is presented to test for hidden couplings between the input parameters inside the evaluation model.

ID KEY COMPARISON DATA; CCL
AB Statistical analysis of key comparison and inter-laboratory experiments is required to produce an estimate of the measurand called a reference value and further, measures of equivalence of the participating laboratories. Methods of estimation of the reference value have been proposed that rest on the idea of finding a so-called consistent subset of laboratories, that is, eliminating outlying participants. In this paper we propose an alternative statistical model, one that accommodates all of the participants' data and incorporates the dispersion among the laboratories into the total uncertainty of the various estimates. This model recognizes the fact that the dispersion of values between laboratories often is substantially larger than the measurement uncertainties provided by the participating laboratories. We illustrate the method on data from key comparison CCL-K1.

ID PRECISION FREQUENCY SOURCES; VOLTAGE STANDARDS; NOISE; STABILITY; MODELS
AB In metrology, the uncertainty of the mean of repeated measurements is often calculated by the sample standard deviation of the measurements divided by the square root of the sample size. When the measurements are autocorrelated, in particular when they are from a stationary process, a recent paper in Metrologia (Zhang 2006) provided all approach to calculate the corresponding uncertainty. However, when the measurements are from a nonstationary process, how to assess their uncertainty remains unresolved. Allan variance or two-sample variance has been used for more than three decades as a substitute for the classical variance to characterize the stability of clocks or frequency standards when the underlying process is a 1/f noise process. Recently, from the point of view of the time domain, a paper in Metrologia (Zhang, 2008) studied the Allan variance and its properties for stationary processes, random walk, and long-memory processes such as the fractional difference processes This paper discusses the use of Allan variance as all alternative measure of uncertainty for measurements from time series models. The results show that the Allan variance is a better measure of the process variation than the classical variance of the random walk and the nonstationary fractional difference processes including the 1/f noise.

AB We present a study of dynamical decoupling schemes for the suppression of phase errors from various noise environments using ions in a Penning trap as a model ensemble of qubits. By injecting frequency noise we demonstrate that in an ohmic noise spectrum with a sharp, high-frequency cutoff the recently proposed UDD decoupling sequence gives noise suppression superior to the traditional CPMG technique. Under only the influence of ambient magnetic field fluctuations with a 1/omega(4) power spectrum, we find little benefit from using the UDD sequence, consistent with theoretical predictions for dynamical decoupling performance in the presence of noise spectra with soft cutoffs. Finally, we implement an optimization algorithm using measurement feedback, demonstrating that local optimization of dynamical decoupling can further lead to significant gains in error suppression over known sequences.

AB The recent advances in superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD or SSPD) technology has enabled long distance quantum key distribution (QKD) over an optical fiber. We point out that the performance of SNSPDs play a crucial role in achieving a secure transmission distance of 100 km or longer. We analyze such an impact from a simplified model and use it to interpret results from our differential-phase-shift (DPS) QKD experiment. This allows us to discuss the optimization of the detection time window and the clock frequency given the detector characteristics such as dark count rate, detection efficiency, and timing jitter.

AB The 3-D radar reflectivity data has become increasingly important for use in data assimilation towards convective scale numerical weather prediction as well as next generation precipitation estimation. Typically, reflectivity data from multiple radars are objectively analyzed and mosaiced onto a regional 3-D Cartesian grid prior to being assimilated into the models. One of the scientific issues associated with the mosaic of multi-radar observations is the synchronization of all the observations. Since radar data is usually rapidly updated (similar to every 5-10 min), it is common in current multi-radar mosaic techniques to combine multiple radar' observations within a time window by assuming that the storms are steady within the window. The assumption holds well for slow evolving precipitation systems, but for fast evolving convective storms, this assumption may be violated and the mosaic of radar observations at different times may result in inaccurate storm structure depictions. This study investigates the impact of synchronization on storm structures in multiple radar data analyses using a multi-scale storm tracking algorithm.

AB The goal of the Multiple Biometrics Grand Challenge (MBGC) is to improve the performance of face and iris recognition technology from biometric samples acquired under unconstrained conditions. The MBGC is organized into three challenge problems. Each challenge problem relaxes the acquisition constraints in different directions. In the Portal Challenge Problem, the goal is to recognize people from near-infrared (NIR) and high definition (HD) video as they walk through a portal. Iris recognition can be performed from the NIR video and face recognition from the HD video. The availability of NIR and HD modalities allows for the, development of fusion algorithms. The Still Face Challenge Problem has two primary goals. The first is to improve recognition performance from frontal and off angle still face images taken under uncontrolled indoor and outdoor fighting. The second is to improve recognition performance on still frontal face images that have been resized and compressed, as is required for electronic passports. In the video Challenge Problem, the goal is to recognize people from video in unconstrained environments. The video is unconstrained in pose, illumination, and camera angle. All three, challenge problems include a large data set, experiment descriptions, ground truth, and scoring code.

AB We have successfully implemented a Video-based Automated System for Iris Recognition (VASIR), evaluating its successful performance on the MBGC dataset. The proposed method facilitates the ultimate goal of automatically detecting an eye area, extracting eye images, and selecting the best quality iris image from video frames. The selection method's performance is evaluated by comparing it to the selection performed by humans. Masek's algorithm was adapted to segment and normalize the iris region. Encoding the iris pattern and then completing the matching followed this stage. ne iris templates from video images were compared to pre-existing still iris images for the purpose of the verification. This experiment has shown that even under varying illumination conditions, low quality, and off-angle video imagery, that iris recognition is feasible. Furthermore, our study showed that in practice an automated best image selection is nearly equivalent to human selection.

AB Three low-dimension cobaltites in the Sr-Ca-Co-O system have been studied for their structure and thermoelectric properties. Using x-ray pole figure construction technique, a Ca3Co4O9 thin film showed excellent fiber texture but no ab in-plane texture. The fiber texture is mainly responsible for the excellent thermoelectric properties. Our study of a high-throughput combinatorial thin film (synthesized using Pulsed Laser Deposition) with a custom-built power factor screening tool demonstrated that the La substitution in the Ca-site of Ca3Co4O9 increases Seebeck coefficient and resistivity due to decrease of hole concentration. The Sr-substitution on the Ca-site increases the carrier mobility, therefore lower resistivity of the film. The homologous compounds Can+2ConCo'O3n+3 and Sr(6+2)ConCo'O3n+3 consist of parallel 1-dimensional cobalt oxide chains that are built by successive alternating face-sharing CoO6 trigonal prism and 'n' units of CoO6 octahedra along the c-axis. However, due to the high resistivity of these compounds, they will unlikely yield ZT values comparable to that of Ca3Co4O9.

ID IMAGER/SOUNDER; MODELS
AB The main reflector of the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-16 satellite emits variable radiation, and the SSMIS warm calibration load is intruded by direct and indirect solar radiation. These contamination sources produce antenna brightness temperature anomalies of around 2 K at SSMIS sounding channels which are obviously inappropriate for assimilation into numerical weather prediction models and remote sensing retrievals of atmospheric and surface parameters. In this study, antenna brightness temperature anomalies at several lower atmospheric sounding (LAS) channels are assessed, and the algorithm is developed for corrections of these antenna temperature anomalies. When compared against radiative transfer model simulations and simultaneous observations from AMSU-A aboard NOAA-16, the SSMIS antenna temperatures at 52.8, 53.6, 54.4, 55.5, 57.3, and 59.4 GHz after the anomaly correction exhibit small residual errors (<0.5 K). After such SSMIS antenna temperatures are applied to the National Center for Environmental Prediction Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model, more satellite data is used and the analysis field of the geopotential height is significantly improved throughout troposphere and lower stratosphere. Therefore, the SSMIS antenna temperatures after the anomaly correction have demonstrated their potentials in NWP models. Copyright (C) 2009 B. Yan and F. Weng.

AB The photoacid diffusion length is a critical issue for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography because it governs the critical dimension (CD), line-edge-roughness (LER), and line-width-roughness (LWR) of photoresist materials. Laboratory-based experimental methods that complement full lithographic testing would enable a rapid screening of materials and process conditions. This paper provides an approach to characterize the photoacid diffusion length by applying a bilayer stack technique. The method involves quantitative measurements of the deprotection kinetics as well as film thickness at each process step: radiation exposure, post-exposure bake, and development. Analogous to a contrast curve, by comparing the film thickness of the bilayer before and after development, the photoacid diffusion length was deduced in a commercial EUV photoresist and compared to EUV lithography. Further, by combining the experiments with kinetics modeling, the measured photoacid diffusion length was predicted. Lastly, based upon the measured kinetics parameters, a criterion was developed that next-generation resists must meet to achieve a 16 nm photoacid diffusion length. These guidelines are discussed in terms of correlations and contributions from the photoacid and resist properties. In particular, the trapping kinetics of the photoacid provides a route to reduce LER and the CD at low dose.

AB The polydispersity in the degree of functionalization for two calix[4]resorcinarenes was determined by measuring, quantitatively, their molecular mass distribution with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. A mathematical method for polydisperse materials is described that creates a calibration curve to correct the ion intensities in the mass spectrum to give a more reliable molecular mass distribution. One calix[4]resorcinarene was found to give accurate molecular mass distributions with little correction, while another having a very similar molecular structure was found to exhibit strong over counting of the oligomers having a high degree of functionalization.

ID ERROR
AB We have developed a method to rapidly test the quality of a. biological image, to identify appropriate segmentation methods that will render high quality segmentations for cells within that image. The key contribution is the development of a measure of the clarity of an individual biological cell within an image that can be quickly and directly used to select a segmentation method during a high content screening process. This method is based on the gradient of the pixel intensity field at cell edges and on the distribution of pixel intensities just inside cell edges. We have developed a technique to synthesize biological cell flanges with varying qualities to create standardized images for testing segmentation methods. Differences in quality indices reflect observed differences in resulting masks of the same cell imaged under a. variety of conditions.

AB Evaporation of water changes the response of photoacoustic instruments to light-absorbing particles. Previous calculations of this effect are valid for particles much larger than the mean free path of air. These calculations are extended here to include transition and molecular flow as well as various mass accommodation coefficients for water. For commonly encountered conditions, evaporation can significantly reduce the photoacoustic signal if the mass accommodation coefficient of water on aerosol particles is larger than about 0.01. Unlike the growth of cloud droplets, the photoacoustic signal is very sensitive to changes in the accommodation coefficient between 0.1 and 1. This may provide a way to measure large accommodation coefficients. For a given accommodation coefficient, the change in the photoacoustic signal depends more on absolute than relative humidity. To minimize the effects of evaporation it is better to remove water from the air rather than reduce relative humidity with heating.

AB This work presents a calibration of a commercial condensation particle counter using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable methods. By the nature of the metrology involved, this work also compares the measurement results of three independent techniques for measuring aerosol concentration: continuous flow condensation particle counter (CPC); aerosol electrometer (AE); and the aerosol concentration derived from microscopic particle counting. Because of the transient nature of aerosol, there are no concentration artifact standards such as exist for particle diameter standards. We employ a mobility classifier to produce a nearly monodisperse, 80 nm, polystyrene latex aerosol. The test aerosol is used as a challenge for the CPC and the AE, and is subsequently filter sampled for electron microscopy. Our test stand design incorporates a continuous CPC aerosol concentration monitor to verify the aerosol stability. The CPC determines particle concentration by single particle counting at a constant sample flow rate. The AE has been calibrated to a NIST traceable current standard. The subsequent aerosol concentration measurement is obtained by determining the electrical current produced by a charged aerosol transported to the detector by a controlled aerosol flow rate. We have NIST traceability for flow rates for all methods and a methodology to calibrate the AE to NIST traceable electrical standards. The latter provides a calibration and a determination of the uncertainty in the aerosol derived current measurement. A bias in the measurements due to multiple charged particles was observed and overcome by using an electrospray aerosol generator to produce the challenge particles. This generator was able to produce aerosol concentrations over the range of 100 particles/cm(3) to 15 000 particles/cm(3) with lower number of dimer particles (approximate to 1%). In our work, independent measurement of aerosol concentration is obtained by quantitatively collecting samples of the airborne polystyrene latex spheres on a small pore filter material and determining the number of particles collected by electron microscopy. Electron micrograph images obtained using a field-emission scanning electron microscope are analyzed using particle counting. We found the relative uncertainty in the aerosol electrometer measurements to be in excess of 100% for particle concentrations of approximately 120 particles/cm(3) and approximately 5% for concentrations above 6000 particles/cm(3). The uncertainty found by the microscopy method was approximately 3%.

AB We report the development and characterization of a protontransfer-reaction ion trap mass spectrometer for the speciated measurement of organic compounds in atmospheric aerosols and show results from its first field deployment. The instrument uses an aerosol collection inlet to accumulate aerosol mass followed by rapid thermal desorption to volatilize the organic compounds for in situ analysis. We have performed laboratory studies to characterize instrument performance and the instrument was deployed aboard a NOAA research vessel during the Texas Air Quality Study 2006/Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (TexAQS 2006/GoMACCS) in August-September 2006. The laboratory-determined detection limit for glutaric acid in mixed glutaric acid/NH4HSO4 test aerosols was 0.22 ng collected mass, which corresponds to an estimated detection limit of 12 ng m(-3) for a 10 min sample based on the instrument sample flow rate of 1.8 L min(-1). During TexAQS 2006/GoMACCS, signals well above the detection limit were observed at a number of mass to charge ratios, mostly occurring during an extended period of active pollution photochemistry, but also including detection of possible primary emissions of aerosol-phase pyridine.

TI Angular Illumination and Truncation of Three Different Integrating
Nephelometers: Implications for Empirical, Size-Based Corrections
SO AEROSOL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID AEROSOL OPTICAL-PROPERTIES
AB Integrating nephelometers are widely used for monitoring and research applications related to air pollution and climate. Several commercial versions of the instrument are available and are in wide use in the community. This article reports on results from a calibration and intercomparison workshop where several units of the three most widely used nephelometer models were tested with respect to their CO(2) calibration accuracy and stability and non-idealities of their angular illumination function. Correction factors that result from the non-ideal illumination due to truncation of the sensing volumes in the near-forward and near-backward angular ranges and for non-Lambertian illumination from the light sources are presented, in particular for two models that have not previously been tested in this respect. The correction factors ranged from 0.95 to 1.15 depending on the model of nephelometer and aerosol size distribution. Recommendations for operational data analysis in context of these and previous performance tests are presented.

AB A photo-acoustic absorption spectrometer (PAS) and a cavity ring down aerosol extinction spectrometer (CRD-AES) were used, in conjunction with Mie Theory, to measure the refractive index (RI) of absorbing polystyrene spheres (APSS). The PAS and CRD-AES were also used to measure the absorption and extinction enhancement after these APSS were coated in oleic acid. The experimental enhancements were then compared to predictions from coated-sphere Mie Theory. The measured absorption and extinction enhancements both agreed with modeled enhancements to within an average of 5%. A filter-based absorption technique (particle soot absorption photometer, PSAP) was also used to measure the absorption by the APSS and showed a significant size-dependent bias, as evidenced by the filter-based method measuring significantly lower absorption for both uncoated and coated APSS compared to the PAS. These results suggest the validity of applying photo-acoustics to measure the absorption enhancement created by semi-volatile atmospheric species coating absorbing particles.

AB We performed a series of laboratory studies to assess uncertainties in aerosol optical property measurements. We used a pulsed cavity ring-down spectrometer (CRD) to measure the aerosol light extinction coefficient, a photo-acoustic absorption spectrometer (PAS) for light absorption, and a commercial integrating nephelometer (TSI, model 3563) for the scattering coefficient. The test aerosols generated for the study consisted of both non-absorbing and slightly-to-highly absorbing polydisperse submicron particles, delivered to the systems as pure compounds or mixtures. For aerosols with single scattering albedo (omega) > 0.7, we found that the omega values calculated by combining the three instruments agreed within expected uncertainty. For aerosols with omega < 0.7, the discrepancy was outside of the boundaries of existing uncertainties. Mie theory calculations of the nephelometer correction factors indicate that the current literature expressions for nephelometer truncation correction are not adequate at omega < 0.7 due to the large real part of the refractive index (n) of absorbing particles. New corrections are given for the case when n is known. Based on our instrumental capabilities we conclude that the lowest uncertainty in omega is obtained by combining CRD and PAS data. The implications for the uncertainty of aerosol optical properties when using nephelometer-based scattering coefficient in the case of, e. g., highly absorbing aerosols, coarse mode particles, and measurements at high relative humidity are discussed.

AB A combination of a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) and aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) is used to measure the mass of NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM (R)) PSL spheres with 60 and 100 nm nominal diameter, and NIST traceable 300 nm PSL spheres. The calibration PSL spheres were previously characterized by modal diameter and spread in particle size. We used the DMA to separate the particles with modal diameter in a narrow mobility diameter range. The mass of the separated particles is measured using the APM. The measured mass is converted to diameter using a specific density of 1.05. We found that there was good agreement between our measurements and calibration modal diameter. The measured average modal diameters are 59.23 and 101.2 nm for nominal diameters of 60 and 100 nm (calibration modal diameter: 60.39 and 100.7 nm) PSL spheres, respectively. The repeatability uncertainty of these measurements is reported. For 300 nm, the measured diameter was 305.5 nm, which is an agreement with calibration diameter within 1.8%.
The effect of spread in particle size on the APM transfer function is investigated. Two sources of the spread in "mono-dispersed" particle size distributions are discussed: (a) spread due to the triangular DMA transfer function, and (b) spread in the calibration particle size. The APM response function is calculated numerically with parabolic flow through the APM and diffusion broadening. As expected from theory, the calculated APM response function and measured data followed a similar trend with respect to APM voltage. However, the theoretical APM transfer function is narrower than the measured APM response.

AB Measuring atmospheric deposition in arid and snow-dominated regions presents unique challenges. Throughfall, the flux of nutrients transported in solution to the forest floor, is generally the most practical method of estimating below-canopy deposition, particularly when monitoring multiple forest sites or over multiple years. However, more studies are needed to relate throughfall fluxes to total atmospheric deposition, particularly in seasonally dry regions. In seasonally snow-covered regions, the distribution of atmospheric deposition and subsequent nitrogen (N) fluxes are highly sensitive to the temporal and spatial dynamics of snow accumulation and melt. Recent developments in passive monitoring techniques for throughfall and measurement of gaseous pollutants greatly facilitate monitoring of atmospheric deposition and ambient pollutant concentrations over broader spatial scales than was previously possible. Here we focus primarily on N fluxes as N is both a limiting nutrient and a pollutant in many terrestrial ecosystems, and because sulfur (S) deposition is not a widespread problem in the West. Methods suggested for estimating spatially distributed atmospheric deposition in arid and snow-dominated systems include simulation modeling, inferential method, throughfall collection, branch rinsing, N accumulation in surface soils of arid zones, and snowpack sampling methods. Applying more than one approach is often necessary to capture the various atmospheric deposition pathways and the spatial and temporal variability of N deposition.

ID LITHOGRAPHY
AB The primary, publicly reported cause of optic degradation in pre-production extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems is carbon deposition. This results when volatile organics adsorb onto optic surfaces and then are cracked by EUV-induced reactions. Hence the deposition rate depends on the adsorption-desorption kinetics of the molecule-surface system as well as the basic photon-stimulated reaction rates, both of which may vary significantly for different organic species. The goal of our ongoing optics-contamination program is to estimate the contamination rate of species expected in the tool environment by exposing samples to in-band 13.5 nm light from our synchrotron in the presence of fixed partial pressures of admitted gases. Here we report preliminary results of contamination rates on TiO2-capped samples for species observed in resist-outgassing measurements (benzene, isobutene, toluene and tert-butylbenzene) in the pressure range (10(-6) to 10(-4)) Pa which all display an unexpected logarithmic dependence on pressure. This scaling is in agreement with previous EUV exposures of other species at NIST as well as independent measurements of coverage performed at Rutgers University. These results are consistent with a molecular desorption energy that decreases with coverage due to molecular interactions (Temkin model). Use of the proper scaling law is critical when estimating optic lifetimes by extrapolating over the 3-to-6 orders of magnitude between accelerated-testing and tool-environment partial pressures.

AB Thermal embossing nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is an area of continuing interest because it allows direct patterning of nanoscale structures into a wide variety of functional polymer materials. Measuring the shape evolution of nanoimprinted lines during thermal annealing can provide insights into mechanisms of polymer stability and the dynamics of polymer flow. Recently, we have used optical scatterometry to extract the profile of nanoimprinted lines in low-and high-molecular mass polymer gratings during annealing of the gratings at the glass transition temperature. The data are obtained in situ using a spectroscopic ellipsometer and analyzed using a rigorous-coupled-wave scatterometry model. The results obtained from scatterometry are in very good agreement with those measured ex situ by atomic force microscopy and specular x-ray reflectivity, revealing very different decay mechanisms for gratings in low-and high-molecular mass polymers. The role of the selection of grating model in determining the uncertainties the grating line profile extracted from scatterometry is also discussed.

DE Contamination; outgassing; vacuum
AB Optics in extreme ultraviolet lithography exposure tools are known to suffer reflectivity degradation, mostly from the buildup of carbon. The sources of this carbon have been difficult to identify. The vacuum cleanliness in the preproduction micro-exposure tools is monitored with a residual gas analyzer, but they have not shown carbon-containing species in sufficient concentration to account for the observed carbon buildup seen in these tools. We have developed a technique based on cryo trapping followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis that is more sensitive to less-volatile compounds. We will present sample data on typical vacuum systems as well as a preliminary analysis of the Intel micro-exposure tool.

DE radiometry; dosimetry; photoresists; image plates
AB As part of its role in providing radiometric standards in support of industry, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has been active in advancing extreme ultraviolet dosimetry on various fronts. Recently, we undertook a major effort in accurately measuring the sensitivity of three extreme ultraviolet photoresists. It has been common practice to use photoresists as a transfer "standards" to determine the intensity and uniformity of the radiation transmitted by extreme ultraviolet steppers. In response to preliminary results from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory that showed that two "standard" photoresists were almost twice as sensitive as had been previously believed, NIST carried out similar measurements and confirmed the Berkeley results. However, we have found that the assumed sensitivities are more a question of system calibration than of absolute resist dose sensitivity. We will describe the facility we used to make these measurements.
Photoresists make less than perfect radiometers. They are very non-linear, sensitive to atmosphere, and difficult to calibrate. All of these characteristics led to the disparate results in assumed sensitivity values. We have developed an alternate wafer-plane dosimeter based on image plates. The dosimeter is linear over several orders of magnitude, comparatively insensitive to atmosphere, and can be re-calibrated as necessary. Moreover it can pass through a stepper as any other wafer. We will describe this dosimeter in detail.

SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS

DT Article
AB We have developed a curriculum on the photoelectric effect including an interactive computer simulation, interactive lectures with peer instruction, and conceptual and mathematical homework problems. Our curriculum addresses established student difficulties and is designed so that students will be able to (1) correctly predict the results of experiments on the photoelectric effect and (2) describe how these results lead to the photon model of light. Our instruction leads to better student mastery of the first goal than either traditional instruction or previous reformed instruction, with approximately 85% of students correctly predicting the results of changes to the experimental conditions. Most students are able to correctly state the observations made in the photoelectric effect experiment and the inferences that can be made from these observations, but are less successful drawing a clear logical connection between the observations and the inferences.

AB An increasing number of studies use blood obtained noninvasively to monitor organohalogen contaminants; however, blood can be difficult to analyze because of its aqueous nature and high protein content. We compared five methods for extracting polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organochlorine pesticides, and lipids from serum using National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material 1589a PCBs, Pesticides, PBDEs, and Dioxins/Furans in Human Serum. Liquid: liquid (LLE), cavity-dispersed microwave-assisted (MAE), focused microwave-assisted (FME), solid-phase (SPE), and pressurized fluid (PFE) extraction techniques were compared. FME extraction yielded the optimal recovery of internal standards (IS). All methods resulted in similar contaminant concentrations that also agreed with the certified values for SRM 1589a, except for only a few compounds measured by methods other than FME. Based on these findings, the FME method was determined to be the best overall extraction method. One procedural factor was found to affect contaminant concentrations; use of IS carrier solvents that were immiscible with serum (or when the serum was not directly physically mixed with IS) resulted in a 30% underestimation of organohalogen concentrations. This study offers valid, novel extraction alternatives beyond traditional methods (e.g., LLE) for blood contaminant measurements.

AB The modulation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves by longer-period ULF waves has been proposed as a method for producing pearl structured Pc 1-2 EMIC waves. This study examines frequency and phase relationship between Pc 1 EMIC wavepacket envelopes and simultaneously occurring Pc 5 ULF waves using magnetic data measured by the CRRES spacecraft. Intervals from three days in 1991 where CRRES observed pearls are presented along with simple statistics for 58 EMIC wavepackets. The observations were dominated by EMIC waves propagating away from the equatorial region. Comparisons between pearl wavepacket envelopes and Pc 5 waves show excellent agreement. The pearl wavepacket duration times, tau(dur), were statistically correlated with Pc 5 wave periods, T(Pc5), resulting in a correlation coefficient of R=0.7 and best fit equation tau(dur)=0.8.T(Pc5)+6s. In general, phase differences varied although time intervals of constant in-phase or anti-phase correlation were observed. Anti-phase modulation may be explained by a decreasing background magnetic field due to the negative cycle of the ULF wave decreasing Alfven velocity and minimum resonant energy. In-phase modulation could be the result of adiabatic modulation of temperature anisotropy in-phase with variations in the background field. Non-adiabatic processes may contribute to intervals that showed varying phase differences with time. Results suggest that future theoretical developments should take into account the full range of possible wave particle interactions inside the magnetosphere.

AB Before radar estimates of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) can be assimilated into numerical weather prediction models, the DSD estimate must also include an uncertainty estimate. Ensemble statistics are based on using the same observations as inputs into several different models with the spread in the outputs providing an uncertainty estimate. In this study, Doppler velocity spectra from collocated vertically pointing profiling radars operating at 50 and 920 MHz were the input data for 42 different DSD retrieval models. The DSD retrieval models were perturbations of seven different DSD models (including exponential and gamma functions), two different inverse modeling methodologies (convolution or deconvolution), and three different cost functions (two spectral and one moment cost functions).
Two rain events near Darwin, Australia, were analyzed in this study producing 26 725 independent ensembles of mass-weighted mean raindrop diameter D-m and rain rate R. The mean and the standard deviation (indicated by the symbols < x > and sigma {x}) of D-m and R were estimated for each ensemble. For small ranges of < D-m > or < R > histograms of sigma{D-m} and sigma{R} were found to be asymmetric, which prevented Gaussian statistics from being used to describe the uncertainties. Therefore, 10, 50, and 90 percentiles of sigma{D-m} and sigma{R} were used to describe the uncertainties for small intervals of < D-m > or < R >. The smallest Dm uncertainty occurred for < D-m > between 0.8 and 1.8 mm with the 90th and 50th percentiles being less than 0.15 and 0.11 mm, which correspond to relative errors of less than 20% and 15%, respectively. The uncertainty increased for smaller and larger < D-m > values. The uncertainty of R increased with < R >. While the 90th percentile uncertainty approached 0.6 mm h(-1) for a 2 mm h(-1) rain rate (30% relative error), the median uncertainty was less than 0.15 mm h(-1) at the same rain rate (less than 8% relative error). This study addresses retrieval error and does not attempt to quantify absolute or representativeness errors.

AB We report on quasi-parallel whistler emissions detected by the near-earth satellites of the THEMIS mission before, during, and after local dipolarization. These emissions are associated with an electron temperature anisotropy alpha = T-perpendicular to e/T-parallel to e > 1 consistent with the linear theory of whistler mode anisotropy instability. When the whistler mode emissions are observed the measured electron anisotropy varies inversely with beta(parallel to e) (the ratio of the electron parallel pressure to the magnetic pressure) as predicted by Gary and Wang (1996). Narrow band whistler emissions correspond to the small alpha existing before dipolarization whereas the broad band emissions correspond to large alpha observed during and after dipolarization. The energy in the whistler mode is leaving the current sheet and is propagating along the background magnetic field, towards the Earth. A simple time-independent description based on the Liouville's theorem indicates that the electron temperature anisotropy decreases with the distance along the magnetic field from the equator. Once this variation of alpha is taken into account, the linear theory predicts an equatorial origin for the whistler mode. The linear theory is also consistent with the observed bandwidth of wave emissions. Yet, the anisotropy required to be fully consistent with the observations is somewhat larger than the measured one. Although the discrepancy remains within the instrumental error bars, this could be due to time-dependent effects which have been neglected. The possible role of the whistler waves in the substorm process is discussed.

AB Following a solar wind pressure pulse on 3 August 2001, GOES 8, GOES 10, Cluster and Polar observed dipolarizations of the magnetic field, accompanied by an eastward expansion of the aurora observed by IMAGE, indicating the occurrence of two substorms. Prior to the first substorm, the motion of the plasma sheet with respect to Cluster was in the Z(GSM) direction. Observations following the substorms show the occurrence of current sheet waves moving predominantly in the-Y-GSM direction. Following the second substorm, the current sheet waves caused multiple current sheet crossings of the Cluster spacecraft, previously studied by Zhang et al. (2002). We further this study to show that the velocity of the current sheet waves was similar to the expansion velocity of the substorm aurora and the expansion of the dipolarization regions in the magnetotail. Furthermore, we compare these results with the current sheet wave models of Golovchanskaya and Maltsev (2005) and Erkaev et al. (2008). We find that the Erkaev et al. (2008) model gives the best fit to the observations.

AB This paper presents a subjective search for North Sea Draupner-like freaque waves from wave measurement data available in the northeastern coastal waters of Taiwan during Typhoon Krosa, October 2007. Not knowing what to expect, we found rather astonishingly that there were more Draupner-like freaque wave types during the build-up of the storm than we ever anticipated. As the conventional approach of defining freaque waves as H-max/H-s > 2 is ineffective to discern all the conspicuous cases we found, we also tentatively proposed two new indices based on different empirical wave grouping approaches which hopefully can be used for further development of effective indexing toward identifying freaque waves objectively.

AB As a result of increasing attention paid to aerosols in climate studies, numerous global satellite aerosol products have been generated. Aerosol parameters and underlining physical processes are now incorporated in many general circulation models (GCMs) in order to account for their direct and indirect effects on the earth's climate, through their interactions with the energy and water cycles. There exists, however, an outstanding problem that these satellite products have substantial discrepancies, that must be lowered substantially for narrowing the range of the estimates of aerosol's climate effects. In this paper, numerous key uncertain factors in the retrieval of aerosol optical depth (AOD) are articulated for some widely used and relatively long satellite aerosol products including the AVHRR, TOMS, MODIS, MISR, and SeaWiFS. We systematically review the algorithms developed for these sensors in terms of four key elements that influence the quality of passive satellite aerosol retrieval: calibration, cloud screening, classification of aerosol types, and surface effects. To gain further insights into these uncertain factors, the NOAA AVHRR data are employed to conduct various tests, which help estimate the ranges of uncertainties incurred by each of the factors. At the end, recommendations are made to cope with these issues and to produce a consistent and unified aerosol database of high quality for both environment monitoring and climate studies.

AB We investigate the seasonal and longitude dependence of the daytime, vertical E x B drift velocities, on a day-to-day basis, using a recently-developed technique for inferring realistic E x B drifts from ground-based magnetometer observations. We have chosen only quiet days, A(p) < 10, from January 2001 through December 2002, so that the main contribution to the variability is due to the variability in the tidal forcing from below. In order to study the longitude dependence in daytime E x B drift velocities, we use appropriately-placed magnetometers in the Peruvian, Philippine, Indonesian and Indian longitude sectors. Since we are particularly interested in quantifying the E x B drift velocities associated with the 4-cell, non-migrating tidal structure, we compare the seasonal and longitude E x B drift structure with TOPEX satellite observations of Total Electron Content (TEC). We outline a plan to establish the magnitude of the longitude gradients that exist in the daytime, vertical E x B drift velocities at the boundaries of the observed 4-cell patterns and to theoretically identify the physical mechanisms that account for these sharp gradients. The paper demonstrates that sharp gradients in E x B drift velocities exist at one of the 4-cell boundaries and outlines how the C/NOFS IVM and VEFI sensor observations could be used to establish the E x B drift longitude gradients at the boundaries of each of the 4 cells. In addition, the paper identifies one of the theoretical, atmosphere/ionosphere models that could be employed to identify the physical mechanisms that might explain these observations.

AB We examine fast plasma flows and magnetic field fluctuations observed by THEMIS at 03:00-03:30 UT on 12 December 2007. All THEMIS probes are situated in the near-Earth plasma sheet (X(SM)>-10 R(E)) with 1-2 R(E) spacecraft separations in azimuthal and radial directions. We focus on the observations of plasma convective flows made simultaneously by more than one THEMIS probe. At about 03:10 UT and 03:14 UT, the THEMIS P2 probe observed earthward flows of > 100 km/s. The THEMIS P1 probe, located duskward and earthward of P2, observed tailward flows under a positive B(z). The inner most probe THEMIS P4, located at almost the same MLT as THEMIS P1 and P2, did not see any clear flow. We examine the convective flow patterns for the THEMIS observations. We conclude that plasma vortices are formed near the region where the earthward flows slow down and turn in azimuthal directions.

AB This study describes a systematic statistical comparison of isolated non-storm substorms, steady magnetospheric convection (SMC) intervals and sawtooth events. The number of events is approximately the same in each group and the data are taken from about the same years to avoid biasing by different solar cycle phase. The very same superposed epoch analysis is performed for each event group to show the characteristics of ground-based indices (AL, PCN, PC potential), particle injection at the geostationary orbit and the solar wind and IMF parameters. We show that the monthly occurrence of sawtooth events and isolated non-stormtime substorms closely follows maxima of the geomagnetic activity at (or close to) the equinoxes. The most strongly solar wind driven event type, sawtooth events, is the least efficient in coupling the solar wind energy to the auroral ionosphere, while SMC periods are associated with the highest coupling ratio (AL/EY). Furthermore, solar wind speed seems to play a key role in determining the type of activity in the magnetosphere. Slow solar wind is capable of maintaining steady convection. During fast solar wind streams the magnetosphere responds with loading-unloading cycles, represented by substorms during moderately active conditions and sawtooth events (or other storm-time activations) during geomagnetically active conditions.

AB The character of precipitation detected at the surface is the final product of many microphysical interactions in the cloud above, the combined effects of which may be characterized by the observed drop size distribution (DSD). This necessitates accurate retrieval of the DSD from remote sensing data, especially radar as it offers large areal coverage, high spatial resolution, and rigorous quality control and testing. Combined instrument observations with a UHF wind profiler, an S-band polarimetric weather radar, and a video disdrometer are analyzed for two squall line events occuring during the calendar year 2007. UHF profiler Doppler velocity spectra are used to estimate the DSD aloft, and are complemented by DSDs retrieved from an exponential model applied to polarimetric data. Ground truth is provided by the disdrometer. A complicating factor in the retrieval from UHF profiler spectra is the presence of ambient air motion, which can be corrected using the method proposed by Teshiba et al. (2009), in which a comparison between idealized Doppler spectra calculated from the DSDs retrieved from KOUN and those retrieved from contaminated wind profiler spectra is performed. It is found that DSDs measured using the distrometer at the surface and estimated using the wind profiler and polarimetric weather radar generally showed good agreement. The DSD retrievals using the wind profiler were improved when the estimates of the vertical wind were included into the analysis, thus supporting the method of Teshiba et al. (2009). Furthermore, the the study presents a method of investigating the time and height structure of DSDs.

TI Stick-slip behavior of ice streams: modeling investigations

ID STATE-DEPENDENT FRICTION; MOTION; FLOW; ANTARCTICA; GLACIER; SHEET; TILL
AB A puzzling phenomenon of ice-stream flow is the stick-slip motion displayed by Whillans Ice Stream (WIS), West Antarctica. In this study we test the hypothesis that the WIS stick-slip motion has features similar to those of other known stick-slip systems, and thus might be of the same origin. To do so, we adapt a simple mechanical model widely used in seismology to study classic stick-slip behavior observed in tectonic faults, in which the difference between static and dynamic friction allows for the generation and spatial propagation of abrupt slip events. We show how spatial variability in friction properties, as well as a periodic forcing intended to mimic the effect of tides, can reproduce the observed duration and periodicity of stick-slip motion in an ice stream. An intriguing aspect of the association of WIS with mechanical stick-slip oscillators is that the onset of stick-slip cycling from a condition of permanent slip appears to be associated with the reduction in overall speed of WIS. If this association is true, then stick-slip behavior of WIS is a transitional phase of behavior associated with the ice stream's recent deceleration.

AB Complex analytical problems, such as detecting trace quantities of hazardous chemicals in challenging environments, require solutions that most effectively extract relevant information about a sample's composition. This review presents a chemiresistive microarray-based approach to identifying targets that combines temperature-programmed elements capable of rapidly, gena erating analytically rich data sets with statistical pattern recognition algorithms for extracting multivariate chemical fingerprints. We describe the chemical-microsensor platform and discuss its ability to generate orthogonal data through materials selection and temperature programming. Visual inspection of data sets reveals device selectivity, but statistical analyses are required to perform more complex identification tasks. Finally we discuss recent advances in both devices and algorithms necessary to deal with practical issues involved in long-term deployment. These issues include identification and correction of signal drift, challenges surrounding real-time Unsupervised operation, repeatable device manufacturability, and hierarchical classification schemes designed to deduce the chemical composition of untrained analyte species.

AB Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion, reduces ocean pH and causes wholesale shifts in seawater carbonate chemistry. The process of ocean acidification is well documented in field data, and the rate will accelerate over this century unless future CO2 emissions are curbed dramatically. Acidification alters seawater chemical speciation and biogeochemical cycles of many elements and compounds. One well-known effect is the lowering of calcium carbonate saturation states, which impacts shell-forming marine organisms from plankton to benthic molluses, echinoderms, and corals. Many calcifying species exhibit reduced calcification and growth rates in laboratory experiments under high-CO2 conditions. Ocean acidification also causes an increase in carbon fixation rates in some photosynthetic organisms (both calcifying and noncalcifying). The potential for marine organisms to adapt to increasing CO2 and broader implications for ocean ecosystems are not well known; both are high priorities for future research. Although ocean pH has varied in the geological past, paleo-events may be only imperfect analogs to current conditions.

AB The past decade has seen a substantial amount of research on air-sea gas exchange and its environmental controls. These studies have significantly advanced the understanding of processes that control gas transfer, led to higher quality field measurements, and improved estimates of the flux of climate-relevant gases between the ocean and atmosphere. This review discusses the Fundamental principles of air-sea gas transfer and recent developments in gas transfer theory, parameterizations, and measurement techniques in the context of the exchange of carbon dioxide. However, much of this discussion is applicable to any sparingly soluble, non-reactive gas. We show how the use of global variables of environmental forcing that have recently become available and gas exchange relationships that incorporate die main forcing factors will lead to improved estimates of global and regional air-sea gas fluxes based on better fundamental physical, chemical, and biological foundations.

AB As the dimensions of conductors shrink into the nanoscale, their electrical conductivity becomes dependent on their size even at room temperature. Although the behavior varies dramatically as temperatures increase from nanokelvins to hundreds of kelvins, the effect is generally to increase the resistivity above that of bulk material. As such, the underlying size-dependent phenomena have become increasingly important as advanced technologies have shifted their focus first from macro- to microscale and more recently from micro- to nanoscale dimensions. Indeed, the size-dependent increase of electrical resistivity that results from electron scattering on external and internal surfaces of copper conductors has already become technology limiting in modern microelectronics. This article summarizes the phenomena that underlie size effects, focusing on conduction in copper lilies in particular. Attention is given to describing key innovations in both theoretical and experimental assessments that have significantly modified, facilitated, or advanced understanding.

AB The neutralization energy carried by highly charged ions (HCIs) provides an alternative method for localizing energy on a target's surface, producing features and modifying surfaces with fluences and kinetic energy damage that are negligible compared to singly ionized atoms. Since each HCI can deposit an enormous amount of energy into a small volume of the surface (e.g., Xe(44+) delivers 51 keV of neutralization energy per HCI), each individual HCI's interaction with the target can produce a nanoscale feature. Many studies of HCI-surface features have characterized some basic principles of this unique ion-surface interaction, but the activity reported here has been focused on studying ensembles of HCI features in ultra-thin insulating films by fabricating multi-layer tunnel junction devices. The ultra-thin insulating barriers allow current to flow by tunneling, providing a very sensitive means of detecting changes in the barrier due to highly charged ion irradiation and, conversely, HCI modification provides a method of finely tuning the transparency of the tunnel junctions that spans several orders of magnitude for devices produced from a single process recipe. Systematic variation of junction bias, temperature, magnetic field and other parameters provides determination of the transport mechanism, defect densities, and magnetic properties of these nano-features and this novel approach to device fabrication.

AB We review our observations of a rather striking change in the static equilibrium shape of free-standing mesoscopic buckled beams as a function of the length-to-width aspect ratio. For low values of the aspect ratio the beams exhibit the classical mechanical bifurcation known as Euler buckling, while at higher values the shapes become surprisingly complex. The data are consistent with a non-linear Ginsburg-Landau elastic field theory that incorporates asymmetry in higher-order buckling modes. Results of mechanical and electromechanical actuation of the beams are discussed with respect to the theory. The observed effects may have an impact on the emerging technology associated with bistable nanomechanical systems.

AB Contact resonance force microscopy (CR-FM) methods such as atomic force acoustic microscopy show great promise as tools for nanoscale materials research. However, accurate and reliable CR-FM measurements require the simultaneous optimization of a large number of experimental conditions. Among these variables are cantilever spring constant, applied static load, reference material, and resonant mode (mode type and order). In addition, results depend on the models used for data analysis and interpretation (e.g., choice of contact-mechanics model), All of these parameters are linked in numerous ways that are not straighforward to classify. In this chapter, we present a "user's guide" to quantitative measurements of nanomechanical properties with CR-FM methods. The discussion emphasizes the experimental methods and their practical implementation, providing a snapshot of the current state of the art. We discuss the basic physical principles involved and show how they can be used to make informed choices about experimental parameters and operating conditions. Experimental data and the results of theoretical models are provided as specific examples of the abstract concepts. Ideas for future work are also discussed, including ways to simplify the measurement process or improve measurement accuracy. The objective is not only to enable readers to perform their own CR-FM measurements, but also to optimize experimental conditions for a given material system. By gaining a better understanding of the underlying measurement principles, more researchers will be encouraged to further extend the technique and use it for an ever-wider range of applications for the nanoscale characterization of materials.

AB In serial reuse systems, excretion of metabolic carbon dioxide has a significant impact on ambient pH, carbon dioxide, and un-ionized ammonia concentrations. This impact depends strongly on alkalinity, water flow rate, feeding rate, and loss of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. A reduction in pH from metabolic carbon dioxide can significantly reduce the un-ionized ammonia concentration and increase the carbon dioxide concentrations compared to those parameters computed from influent pH. The ability to accurately predict pH in serial reuse systems is critical to their design and effective operation.
A trial and error solution to the alkalinity-pH system was used to estimate important water quality parameters in serial reuse systems. Transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the air-water interface, at overflow weirs, and impacts of substrate-attached algae and suspended bacteria were modeled. Gas transfer at the weirs was much greater than transfer across the air-water boundary.
This simulation model can rapidly estimate influent and effluent concentrations of dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and un-ionized ammonia as a function of water temperature, elevation, water flow, and weir type. The accuracy of the estimates strongly depends on assumed pollutional loading rates and gas transfer at the weirs. The current simulation model is based on mean daily loading rates; the impacts of daily variation loading rates are discussed.

AB Prior to the present study little was known about factors that control daily, seasonal, or ontogenetic changes in the vertical distribution of Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus, an ecologically and commercially important fish species in the northern Pacific Ocean. Vertical distribution and migration of species in the family Gadidae are primarily controlled by gradients of light, temperature, food, and predators. The role of these factors in the vertical distribution of juvenile Pacific cod (0+ and 1+ yr) was tested by exposing fish to vertical gradients of light, temperature, and food that were constructed in the laboratory to simulate conditions normally found in Pacific cod habitats. Fish avoided high light and cold water. Food introduction in warm isothermal water (9 degrees C) induced fish to feed and form more groups than when food was not present. In cold-thermocline conditions (9 to 3 degrees C, top to bottom), food introduction into the lower third of the tank induced fish to swim deeper, but detections of food, feeding, and the formation of groups were initially inhibited by excursions into cold water. Increasing consumption of food during the hour after feeding indicated that fish adapted to cold water. Fish adapted within an hour of continuous exposure to high light as they swam higher in the water column. The effects of fish age were minor and evident as interactions with environmental condition effects on the number of fish groups. Pacific cod are able to adapt to changing ecological conditions, and their behavioural flexibility in response to food, temperature, and light conditions make prediction of vertical distribution complex. Future field studies of the diel vertical migration of Pacific cod should include concurrent measurements of key environmental factors and consider the ability for fish to quickly adapt to changing conditions.

AB All harp seal populations form breeding aggregations on the Arctic pack ice. However, pack ice conditions vary spatially and temporally among these aggregations with variation in environmental and oceanographic conditions, which may affect the behavioral interactions between mothers and their newborn pups. We investigated the variation in mother-pup behavior between harp seal breeding aggregations in the NE (Greenland Sea) and NW Atlantic coastal shelf region (Front). Acoustic cues provided by the pups are thought to be important in facilitating reunions with their mothers. Consequently, we measured variation in vocal parameters among seals to investigate geographic differences in pup vocalizations. Classification trees showed a distinctive split between Front and Greenland Sea pup vocalizations, There were no clear differences between male and female pups at the Front, where 42% of male and 38% of female pup calls could be attributed to a given individual. This contrasts with the Greenland Sea, where 55% of vocalizations of female pups were attributed to individuals compared with only 8% for males. Analyses of behavioral observations of mother-pup pairs made in the afternoon and evening showed that pups in the Greenland Sea suckled more and were more alert than pups in the Front. Further, mother-pup attendance patterns differed between sites. Mothers at the Front attended their pups 85.1% of the time, whereas mothers in the Greenland Sea attended their pups 52.2% of the time. These substantial differences between sites might be related to evolutionary changes in behavior resulting from commercial hunting or variable environmental conditions.

AB A natural dinoflagellate- and ciliate-cyst community from anoxic sediment collected from New Haven, Long Island Sound, was concentrated with a particle sorter and fed to oysters Crassostrea virginica. The total number of cysts and the species composition of cysts in beakers containing live oysters were measured before and after feeding by the oysters. The oysters significantly reduced the numbers of both dinoflagellate and ciliate cysts. Both empty cyst walls and filled (live) cysts were consumed. The oysters decreased the number of total cysts to less than half compared to control beakers containing empty oyster shells. Results from the experiment show that natural assemblages of cysts in sediment are degraded by the feeding activities of oysters. If toxic cysts were present in natural sediments resuspended from the bottom, digestion of resting cysts could lead to toxin accumulation in oysters. There was no major shift in species composition of cysts; cysts known as fossilizable were destroyed, as well as cysts not known to be very resistant or preservable.

AB Surveys of the benthic macroinvertebrate community were conducted in the main basin of Lake Huron in 2000 and 2003, and corresponding studies of lake whitefish diets were conducted in 2002-2004. Populations of three major benthic taxa, Diporeia spp., Sphaeriidae, and Chironomidae, declined dramatically between 2000 and 2003, with densities declining 57%, 74%, and 75% over this 3-year period. By 2003, Diporeia, an important food source for lake whitefish, was gone or rare at depths 50 m except in the far northeastern portion of the lake. In contrast, densities of the Dreissena bugensis (quagga mussel) increased between 2000 and 2003, particularly at the 31-50 m depth interval, while densities of the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha remained stable. As expected, the diet of lake whitefish varied with fish size. Age-0 lake whitefish fed mainly zooplankton, most of which were Daphnia (98%). Medium lake whitefish ( 350 mm excluding age-0 fish) fed mainly on zooplankton, Chironomidae, and Dreissena bugensis, and large lake whitefish (350 to 688 mm) fed mainly on D. bugensis and Gastropoda. The diet of medium and large lake whitefish reflected the changing nature of the benthic community; that is, Diporeia was rarely found in the diet while D. bugensis played a prominent role. Since Diporeia has a much higher energy content than D. bugensis, contrasting density trends in the two organisms will have long term consequences to the relative health of lake whitefish populations in the lake.

AB Irgarol 1051 is an algistatic compound used in copper-based antifoulant paints. It is a widespread and persistent pollutant of the estuarine environment. Ilyanassa obsoleta, the Eastern mud snail, is a common intertidal gastropod that inhabits mud flats and salt marshes along the east coast of North America. It is an important inhabitant of the estuarine environment; contributing to nutrient regeneration and regulating microbial processes in the sediments. The toxicity of irgarol to estuarine gastropods has not been previously examined, although they have the potential to be exposed to antifoulants through both aqueous and sediment routes. The objectives of this study were to evaluate irgarol's effects on I. obsoleta survival, reproductive status (imposex occurrence and testosterone levels), chemoreceptive function, and cellular respiration (cytochrome-c oxidase activity). Irgarol was moderately toxic to I. obsoleta; adult aqueous 96-h LC(50) = 3.73 mg/L, larval aqueous 96-h LC(50) = 3.16 mg/L, and adult sediment 10-day LC(50) = 12.21 mg/kg. Larval snails were not significantly more sensitive to irgarol than adult snails. A chronic 45-day aqueous irgarol exposure (0.005-2.5 mg/L) did not induce imposex or affect free-testosterone levels. The 45-day chronic LC(50) of 1.88 mg/L was significantly lower than the 96-h acute value. A 96-h acute aqueous irgarol exposure (0.375-1.5 mg/L) caused a decrease in normal response to chemosensory cues such as the presence of food or predators. There was a significant increase in cytochrome-c oxidase activity at 2.5 mg/L, which might indicate irgarol's disruption of the mitochondrial membrane and subsequently ATP synthesis. Although the toxicity values determined for I. obsoleta exceeded irgarol concentrations measured in surface waters, results from this toxicity assessment will provide valuable information to environmental resource managers faced with decisions regarding the use and regulation of antifoulant paints in the coastal zone.

Methods Surgically-removed calcinosis specimens were analyzed with fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy in reflectance mode (FTIR-RM) to map their spatial distribution and composition, and with scanning electron microscopy/silicon drift detector energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/SDDEDS) to obtain elemental maps. X-ray diffraction (XRD) identified their mineral structure, X-ray micro-computed tomography (mu CT) mapped their internal structure and 3D distribution, quantitative backscattered electron (qBSE) imaging assessed their morphology and MD, nanoindentation measured their stiffness, and polarized light microscopy (PLM) evaluated the organic matrix composition.
Results Some specimens were composed of continuous carbonate apatite containing small amounts of proteins with a mineral to protein ratio much higher than in bone, and other specimens contained scattered agglomerates of various sizes with similar composition (FTIR-RM). Continuous or fragmented mineralization was present across the entire specimens (mu CT). The apatite was much more crystallized than bone and dentin, and closer to enamel (XRD) and its calcium/phophorous ratios were close to stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (SEM/SDD-EDS). The deposits also contained magnesium and sodium (SEM/SDD-EDS). The MD (qBSE) was closer to enamel than bone and dentin, as was the stiffness (nanoindentation) in the larger dense patches. Large mineralized areas were typically devoid of collagen; however, collagen was noted in some regions within the mineral or margins (PLM). qBSE, FTIR-RM and SEM/SDD-EDS maps suggest that the mineral is deposited first in a fragmented pattern followed by a wave of mineralization that incorporates these particles. Calcinosis masses with shorter duration appeared to have islands of mineralization, whereas longstanding deposits were solidly mineralized.
Conclusions The properties of the mineral present in the calcinosis masses are closest to that of enamel, while clearly differing from bone. Calcium and phosphate, normally present in affected tissues, may have precipitated as carbonate apatite due to local loss of mineralization inhibitors.

AB Four large-area Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) experiments-APEX-SZ, South Pole Telescope, Atacama Cosmology Telescope, and Planck-promise to detect clusters of galaxies through the distortion of cosmic microwave background photons by hot (>10(6) K) cluster gas (the SZ effect) over thousands of square degrees. A large observational follow-up effort to obtain redshifts for these SZ-detected clusters is under way. In addition, photometric optical surveys such as the Blanco Cosmology Survey, Dark Energy Survey, Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will detect and attempt to recover redshifts for billions of field galaxies in pursuit of a diverse array of science objectives. Given the large area covered by these surveys, most of the redshifts will be obtained via the photometric redshift (photo-z) technique. Here we demonstrate, in an application using similar to 3000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey stripe 82 galaxies with r < 20, how the addition of Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) photometry (F(UV), N(UV)) greatly improves the photometric redshifts of galaxies obtained with optical griz or ugriz photometry. In the case where large spectroscopic training sets are available, empirical neural-network-based techniques (e.g., ANNz) can yield a photo-z error of sigma(z) = 0.018(1 + z). If large spectroscopic training sets are not available, the addition of GALEX data makes the use of simple maximum-likelihood techniques possible, without resorting to Bayesian priors, and obtains sigma(z) = 0.04(1 + z), an accuracy that approaches that obtained using spectroscopic training of neural networks on ugriz observations. This improvement is especially notable for blue galaxies. To achieve these results, we have developed a new set of high-resolution spectral templates based on physical information about the star-formation history of galaxies. We envision these templates to be useful for the next generation of photo-z applications. We make our spectral templates and new photo-z catalogs available to the community at www.ice.csic.es/personal/jimenez/PHOTOZ.

TI Cloud's Center of Gravity - a compact approach to analyze convective
cloud development
SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID MICROPHYSICS PARAMETERIZATION; SCHEME
AB As cloud resolving models become more detailed, with higher resolution outputs, it is often complicated to isolate the physical processes that control the cloud attributes. Moreover, due to the high dimensionality and complexity of the model output, the analysis and interpretation of the results can be very complicated. Here we suggest a novel approach to convective cloud analysis that yields more insight into the physical and temporal evolution of clouds, and is compact and efficient. The different (3-D) cloud attributes are weighted and projected onto a single point in space and in time, that has properties of, or similar to, the Center Of Gravity (COG). The location, magnitude and spread of this variable are followed in time. The implications of the COG approach are demonstrated for a study of aerosol effects on a warm convective cloud. We show that in addition to reducing dramatically the dimensionality of the output, such an approach often enhances the signal, adds more information, and makes the physical description of cloud evolution clearer, allowing unambiguous comparison of clouds evolving in different environmental conditions. This approach may also be useful for analysis of cloud data retrieved from surface or space-based cloud radars.

TI Spatial distribution of Delta(CO2)-C-14 across Eurasia: measurements
from the TROICA-8 expedition

AB Because fossil fuel derived CO2 is the only source of atmospheric CO2 that is devoid of C-14, atmospheric measurements of Delta(CO2)-C-14 can be used to constrain fossil fuel emission estimates at local and regional scales. However, at the continental scale, uncertainties in atmospheric transport and other sources of variability in Delta(CO2)-C-14 may influence the fossil fuel detection capability. We present a set of Delta(CO2)-C-14 observations from the train-based TROICA-8 expedition across Eurasia in March-April 2004. Local perturbations in Delta(CO2)-C-14 are caused by easily identifiable sources from nuclear reactors and localized pollution events. The remaining data show an increase in Delta(CO2)-C-14 from Western Russia (40 degrees E) to Eastern Siberia (120 degrees E), consistent with depletion in (CO2)-C-14 caused by fossil fuel CO2 emissions in heavily populated Europe, and gradual dispersion of the fossil fuel plume across Northern Asia.
Other trace gas species which may be correlated with fossil fuel CO2 emissions, including carbon monoxide, sulphur hexafluoride, and perchloroethylene, were also measured and the results compared with the Delta(CO2)-C-14 measurements. The sulphur hexafluoride longitudinal gradient is not significant relative to the measurement uncertainty. Carbon monoxide and perchloroethylene show large-scale trends of enriched values in Western Russia and decreasing values in Eastern Siberia, consistent with fossil fuel emissions, but exhibit significant spatial variability, especially near their primary sources in Western Russia.
The clean air Delta(CO2)-C-14 observations are compared with simulated spatial gradients from the TM5 atmospheric transport model. We show that the change in Delta(CO2)-C-14 across the TROICA transect is due almost entirely to emissions of fossil fuel CO2, but that the magnitude of this Delta(CO2)-C-14 gradient is relatively insensitive to modest uncertainties in the fossil fuel flux. In contrast, the Delta(CO2)-C-14 gradient is more sensitive to the modeled representation of vertical mixing, suggesting that Delta(CO2)-C-14 may be a useful tracer for training mixing in atmospheric transport models.

TI Methane plume over south Asia during the monsoon season: satellite
observation and model simulation

ID QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU; TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; EMISSIONS; CHINA;
AIRS/AMSU/HSB
AB Satellite retrievals of methane (CH(4)) using the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the EOS/Aqua platform from 2003-2007 show a strong, plume-like enhancement of CH(4) in the middle to upper troposphere over South Asia during July, August and September, with the maximum occurring in early September. Simulations using the global tracer model version 3 (TM3) also show similar seasonal enhancement of CH(4) in the same region. The model results also suggest that this enhancement is associated with transport processes and local surface emissions, thus the observations of tropospheric CH(4) during the monsoon season may be used to constrain the models for a better estimation of Asian CH(4) sources. Further comparisons between the AIRS retrievals and the model simulations suggest a possible overestimate of emissions from rice paddies in Southeast Asia in the scenario with the global emissions from rice of 60 Tgyr(-1). Moreover, the observed tropospheric CH(4) enhancement from AIRS provides evidence for the strong transport of atmospheric pollutants from the lower to the upper troposphere in Asia during the monsoon season. The observed rapid disappearance of the local CH(4) maximum in September may provide valuable information for studying the dissipation of the Tibetan anticyclone and the withdrawal of monsoon.

AB In this study, we analyse the sensitivity of nadir viewing satellite observations in the visible range to freshly produced lightning NOx. This is a particular challenge due to the complex and highly variable conditions of meteorology, (photo-) chemistry, and radiative transfer in and around cumulonimbus clouds. For the first time, such a study is performed accounting for photo- chemistry, dynamics, and radiative transfer in a consistent way: A one week episode in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region (Pacific) in December 1992 is simulated with a 3-D cloud resolving chemistry model. The simulated hydrometeor mixing ratios are fed into a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model to calculate box-Air Mass Factors (box-AMFs) for NO2. From these box-AMFs, together with model NOx profiles, slant columns of NO2 (S-NO2), i.e. synthetic satellite measurements, are calculated and set in relation to the actual model NOx vertical column (V-NOx), yielding the "sensitivity" S-NO2/V-NOx.
From this study, we find a mean sensitivity of 0.46. NOx below the cloud bottom is mostly present as NO2, but shielded from the satellites' view, whereas NOx at the cloud top or above is shifted to NO due to high photolysis and low temperature, and hence not detectable from space. However, a significant fraction of the lightning produced NOx in the middle part of the cloud is present as NO2 and has a good visibility from space. Due to the resulting total sensitivity being quite high, nadir viewing satellites provide a valuable additional platform to quantify NOx production by lightning; strong lightning events over "clean" regions should be clearly detectable in satellite observations. Since the observed enhancement of NO2 column densities over mesoscale convective systems are lower than expected for current estimates of NOx production per flash, satellite measurements can in particular constrain the upper bound of lightning NOx production estimates.

AB We have estimated changes in surface solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation under cloud free conditions in the 21st century based on simulations of 11 coupled Chemistry-Climate Models (CCMs). The total ozone columns and vertical profiles of ozone and temperature projected from CCMs were used as input to a radiative transfer model in order to calculate the corresponding erythemal irradiance levels. Time series of monthly erythemal irradiance received at the surface during local noon are presented for the period 1960 to 2100. Starting from the first decade of the 21st century, the surface erythemal irradiance decreases globally as a result of the projected stratospheric ozone recovery at rates that are larger in the first half of the 21st century and smaller towards its end. This decreasing tendency varies with latitude, being more pronounced over areas where stratospheric ozone has been depleted the most after 1980. Between 2000 and 2100 surface erythemal irradiance is projected to decrease over midlatitudes by 5 to 15%, while at the southern high latitudes the decrease is twice as much. In this study we have not included effects from changes in cloudiness, surface reflectivity and tropospheric aerosol loading, which will likely be affected in the future due to climate change. Consequently, over some areas the actual changes in future UV radiation may be different depending on the evolution of these parameters.

TI Transport mechanisms for synoptic, seasonal and interannual SF6

AB We use an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) driven chemistry-transport model (ACTM) to simulate the evolution of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in the troposphere. The model results are compared with continuous measurements at 6 sites over 71 degrees N-90 degrees S. These comparisons demonstrate that the ACTM simulations lie within the measurement uncertainty over the analysis period (1999-2006) and capture salient features of synoptic, seasonal and interannual SF6 variability. To understand transport timescales of SF6 within the troposphere, transport times of air parcels from the surface to different regions of the troposphere ("age") are estimated from a simulation of an idealized tracer. The age estimation error and its sensitivity to the selection of reanalysis meteorology for ACTM nudging or the tracer transport by deep cumulus convection as represented in the model are discussed. Monthly-mean, 2-box model exchange times (tau(ex)) are calculated from both the observed and simulated SF6 time series at the 6 observing sites and show favorable agreement, suggesting that the ACTM adequately represents large-scale interhemispheric transport. The simulated SF6 variability is further investigated through decomposition of the mixing ratio time-tendency into advective, convective, and vertical diffusive components. The transport component analysis illustrates the role of each process in SF6 synoptic variability at the site level and provides insight into the seasonality of tau(ex).

TI Increasing ozone in marine boundary layer inflow at the west coasts of

AB An effective method is presented for determining the ozone (O(3)) mixing ratio in the onshore flow of marine air at the North American west coast. By combining the data available from all marine boundary layer (MBL) sites with simultaneous wind data, decadal temporal trends of MBL O3 in all seasons are established with high precision. The average springtime temporal trend over the past two decades is 0.46 ppbv/yr with a 95% confidence limit of 0.13 ppbv/yr, and statistically significant trends are found for all seasons except autumn, which does have a significantly smaller trend than other seasons. The average trend in mean annual ozone is 0.34 +/- 0.09 ppbv/yr. These decadal trends at the North American west coast present a striking comparison and contrast with the trends reported for the European west coast at Mace Head, Ireland. The trends in the winter, spring and summer seasons compare well at the two locations, while the Mace Head trend is significantly greater in autumn. Even though the trends are similar, the absolute O(3) mixing ratios differ markedly, with the marine air arriving at Europe in all seasons containing 7 +/- 2 ppbv higher ozone than marine air arriving at North America. Further, the ozone mixing ratios at the North American west coast show no indication of stabilizing as has been reported for Mace Head. In a larger historical context the background boundary layer O(3) mixing ratios over the 130 years covered by available data have increased substantially (by a factor of two to three), and this increase continues at present, at least in the MBL of the Pacific coast region of North America. The reproduction of the increasing trends in MBL O(3) over the past two decades, as well as the difference in the O(3) mixing ratios between the two coastal regions will present a significant challenge for global chemical transport models. Further, the ability of the models to at least semi-quantitatively reproduce the longer-term, historical trends may an even greater challenge.

AB A high-resolution global aerosol model (Oslo CTM2) driven by meteorological data and allowing a comparison with a variety of aerosol observations is used to simulate radiative forcing (RF) of the direct aerosol effect. The model simulates all main aerosol components, including several secondary components such as nitrate and secondary organic carbon. The model reproduces the main chemical composition and size features observed during large aerosol campaigns. Although the chemical composition compares best with ground-based measurement over land for modelled sulphate, no systematic differences are found for other compounds. The modelled aerosol optical depth (AOD) is compared to remote sensed data from AERONET ground and MODIS and MISR satellite retrievals. To gain confidence in the aerosol modelling, we have tested its ability to reproduce daily variability in the aerosol content, and this is performing well in many regions; however, we also identified some locations where model improvements are needed. The annual mean regional pattern of AOD from the aerosol model is broadly similar to the AERONET and the satellite retrievals (mostly within 10-20%). We notice a significant improvement from MODIS Collection 4 to Collection 5 compared to AERONET data. Satellite derived estimates of aerosol radiative effect over ocean for clear sky conditions differs significantly on regional scales (almost up to a factor two), but also in the global mean. The Oslo CTM2 has an aerosol radiative effect close to the mean of the satellite derived estimates. We derive a radiative forcing (RF) of the direct aerosol effect of -0.35 Wm(-2) in our base case. Implementation of a simple approach to consider internal black carbon (BC) mixture results in a total RF of -0.28 Wm(-2). Our results highlight the importance of carbonaceous particles, producing stronger individual RF than considered in the recent IPCC estimate; however, net RF is less different. A significant RF from secondary organic aerosols (SOA) is estimated (close to -0.1 Wm(-2)). The SOA also contributes to a strong domination of secondary aerosol species for the aerosol composition over land. A combination of sensitivity simulations and model evaluation show that the RF is rather robust and unlikely to be much stronger than in our best estimate.

AB The yields of organic nitrates and of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particle formation were measured for the reaction NO3+beta-pinene under dry and humid conditions in the atmosphere simulation chamber SAPHIR at Research Center Julich. These experiments were conducted at low concentrations of NO3 (NO3+N2O5 < 10 ppb) and beta-pinene (peak similar to 15 ppb), with no seed aerosol. SOA formation was observed to be prompt and substantial (similar to 50% mass yield under both dry conditions and at 60% RH), and highly correlated with organic nitrate formation. The observed gas/aerosol partitioning of organic nitrates can be simulated using an absorptive partitioning model to derive an estimated vapor pressure of the condensing nitrate species of p(vap) similar to 5x10(-6) Torr (6.67x10(-4) Pa), which constrains speculation about the oxidation mechanism and chemical identity of the organic nitrate. Once formed the SOA in this system continues to evolve, resulting in measurable aerosol volume decrease with time. The observations of high aerosol yield from NOx-dependent oxidation of monoterpenes provide an example of a significant anthropogenic source of SOA from biogenic hydrocarbon precursors. Estimates of the NO3+beta-pinene SOA source strength for California and the globe indicate that NO3 reactions with monoterpenes are likely an important source (0.5-8% of the global total) of organic aerosol on regional and global scales.

Observations made as part of the NASA INTEX-B and NSF MIRAGE field campaigns during March-May 2006 are used to validate the MOPITT CO retrievals, along with routine samples from 2001 through 2006 from NOAA and the MOZAIC measurements from commercial aircraft. A significant positive bias, around 20% for total column CO, in MOPITT CO was found in the comparison to in situ measurements during 2006. Comparisons to the long-term records of measurements from NOAA and MOZAIC revealed an increasing bias in the V3 MOPITT CO retrievals over time. The impact of an instrumental drift is illustrated through retrieval simulations.

AB We report measurements of ambient atmospheric mixing ratios for methyl chavicol and determine its biogenic emission rate. Methyl chavicol, a biogenic oxygenated aromatic compound, is abundant within and above Blodgett Forest, a ponderosa pine forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Methyl chavicol was detected simultaneously by three in-situ instruments - a gas chromatograph with mass spectrometer detector (GC-MS), a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-MS), and a thermal desorption aerosol GC-MS (TAG) - and found to be abundant within and above Blodgett Forest. Methyl chavicol atmospheric mixing ratios are strongly correlated with 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO), a light- and temperature-dependent biogenic emission from the ponderosa pine trees at Blodgett Forest. Scaling from this correlation, methyl chavicol emissions account for 4-68% of the carbon mass emitted as MBO in the daytime, depending on the season. From this relationship, we estimate a daytime basal emission rate of 0.72-10.2 mu gCg(-1) h(-1), depending on needle age and seasonality. We also present the first observations of its oxidation products (4-methoxybenzaldehyde and 4-methyoxy benzene acetaldehyde) in the ambient atmosphere. Methyl chavicol is a major essential oil component of many plant species. This work suggests that methyl chavicol plays a significant role in the atmospheric chemistry of Blodgett Forest, and potentially other sites, and should be included explicitly in both biogenic volatile organic carbon emission and atmospheric chemistry models.

AB Observations at a mountain-top site within the Mexico City basin are used to characterize ozone production and destruction, nitrogen oxide speciation and chemistry, and the radical budget, with an emphasis on a stagnant air mass observed on one afternoon. The observations compare well with the results of recent photochemical models. An ozone production rate of similar to 50 ppbv/h was observed in a stagnant air mass during the afternoon of 12 March 2006, which is among the highest observed anywhere in the world. Approximately half of the ozone destruction was due to the oxidation of NO2. During this time period ozone production was VOC-limited, deduced by a comparison of the radical production rates and the formation rate of NOx oxidation products (NOz). For [NOx]/[NOy] values between 0.2 and 0.8, gas-phase HNO3 typically accounted for less than 10% of NOz and accumulation-mode particulate nitrate (NO3(PM1)-) accounted for 20%-70% of NOz, consistent with high ambient NH3 concentrations. The fraction of NOz accounted for by the sum of HNO3(g) and NO3(PM1)- decreased with photochemical processing. This decrease is apparent even when dry deposition of HNO3 is accounted for, and indicates that HNO3 formation decreased relative to other NOx "sink" processes during the first 12 h of photochemistry and/or a significant fraction of the nitrate was associated with the coarse aerosol size mode. The ozone production efficiency of NOx on 11 and 12 March 2006 was approximately 7 on a time scale of one day. A new metric for ozone production efficiency that relates the dilution-adjusted ozone mixing ratio to cumulative OH exposure is proposed.

AB Wet deposition is an important removal mechanism for atmospheric organic matter, and a potentially important input for receiving ecosystems, yet less than 50% of rainwater organic matter is considered chemically characterized. Precipitation samples collected in New Jersey, USA, were analyzed by negative ion ultra-high resolution electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Elemental compositions of 552 unique molecular species were determined in the mass range 50-500 Da in the rainwater. Four main groups of organic compounds were identified: compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO) only, sulfur (S) containing CHOS compounds, nitrogen (N) containing CHON compounds, and S- and N-containing CHONS compounds. Organic acids commonly identified in precipitation were detected in the rainwater. Within the four main groups of compounds detected in the rainwater, oligomers, organosulfates, and nitrooxy-organosulfates were assigned based on elemental formula comparisons. The majority of the compounds identified are products of atmospheric reactions and are known contributors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from gas phase, aerosol phase, and in-cloud reactions in the atmosphere. It is suggested that the large uncharacterized component of SOA is the main contributor to the large uncharacterized component of rainwater organic matter.

AB Cloud and aerosol effects on radiation in two contrasting cloud types, a deep mesoscale convective system (MCS) and warm stratocumulus clouds, are simulated and compared. At the top of the atmosphere, 45-81% of shortwave cloud forcing (SCF) is offset by longwave cloud forcing (LCF) in the MCS, whereas warm stratiform clouds show the offset of less than similar to 20%. 28% of increased negative SCF is offset by increased LCF with increasing aerosols in the MCS at the top of the atmosphere. However, the stratiform clouds show the offset of just around 2-5%. Ice clouds as well as liquid clouds play an important role in the larger offset in the MCS. Lower cloud-top height and cloud depth, characterizing cloud types, lead to the smaller offset of SCF by LCF and the offset of increased negative SCF by increased LCF at high aerosol in stratocumulus clouds than in the MCS. Supplementary simulations show that this dependence of modulation of LCF on cloud depth and cloud-top height is also simulated among different types of convective clouds.

AB Simulations of future tropospheric composition often include substantial increases in biogenic isoprene emissions arising from the Arrhenius-like leaf emission response and warmer surface temperatures, and from enhanced vegetation productivity in response to temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, a number of recent laboratory and field data have suggested a direct inhibition of leaf isoprene production by increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration, notwithstanding isoprene being produced from precursor molecules that include some of the primary products of carbon assimilation. The cellular mechanism that underlies the decoupling of leaf photosynthesis and isoprene production still awaits a full explanation but accounting for this observation in a dynamic vegetation model that contains a semi-mechanistic treatment of isoprene emissions has been shown to change future global isoprene emission estimates notably. Here we use these estimates in conjunction with a chemistry-climate model to compare the effects of isoprene simulations without and with a direct CO2-inhibition on late 21st century O-3 and OH levels. The impact on surface O-3 was significant. Including the CO2-inhibition of isoprene resulted in opposing responses in polluted (O-3 decreases of up to 10 ppbv) vs. less polluted (O-3 increases of up to 10 ppbv) source regions, due to isoprene nitrate and peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) chemistry. OH concentration increased with relatively lower future isoprene emissions, decreasing methane lifetime by similar to 7 months (6.6%). Our simulations underline the large uncertainties in future chemistry and climate studies due to biogenic emission patterns and emphasize the problems of using globally averaged climate metrics (such as global radiative forcing) to quantify the atmospheric impact of reactive, heterogeneously distributed substances.

ID OPTICAL-PROPERTIES; SOUTH-AMERICA; SMOKE; EMISSIONS; AMAZONIA; CARBON;

AB We introduce the Coupled Aerosol and Tracer Transport model to the Brazilian developments on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CATT-BRAMS). CATT-BRAMS is an on-line transport model fully consistent with the simulated atmospheric dynamics. Emission sources from biomass burning and urban-industrial-vehicular activities for trace gases and from biomass burning aerosol particles are obtained from several published datasets and remote sensing information. The tracer and aerosol mass concentration prognostics include the effects of sub-grid scale turbulence in the planetary boundary layer, convective transport by shallow and deep moist convection, wet and dry deposition, and plume rise associated with vegetation fires in addition to the grid scale transport. The radiation parameterization takes into account the interaction between the simulated biomass burning aerosol particles and short and long wave radiation. The atmospheric model BRAMS is based on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), with several improvements associated with cumulus convection representation, soil moisture initialization and surface scheme tuned for the tropics, among others. In this paper the CATT-BRAMS model is used to simulate carbon monoxide and particulate material (PM2.5) surface fluxes and atmospheric transport during the 2002 LBA field campaigns, conducted during the transition from the dry to wet season in the southwest Amazon Basin. Model evaluation is addressed with comparisons between model results and near surface, radiosondes and airborne measurements performed during the field campaign, as well as remote sensing derived products. We show the matching of emissions strengths to observed carbon monoxide in the LBA campaign. A relatively good comparison to the MOPITT data, in spite of the fact that MOPITT a priori assumptions imply several difficulties, is also obtained.

AB Isoprene is the largest single VOC emission to the atmosphere. Although it is primarily oxidized photochemically during daylight hours, late-day emissions that remain in the atmosphere at sunset undergo oxidation by NO3 in regionally polluted areas with large NOx levels. A recent aircraft study examined isoprene and its nocturnal oxidants in a series of night flights across the Northeast US, a region with large emissions of both isoprene and NOx. Substantial amounts of isoprene that were observed after dark were strongly anticorrelated with measured NO3 and were the most important factor determining the lifetime of this radical. The products of photochemical oxidation of isoprene, methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein, were more uniformly distributed, and served as tracers for the presence of isoprene at sunset, prior to its oxidation by NO3. A determination of the mass of isoprene oxidized in darkness showed it to be a large fraction (>20%) of emitted isoprene. Organic nitrates produced from the NO3+isoprene reaction, though not directly measured, were estimated to account for 2-9% of total reactive nitrogen. The mass of isoprene oxidized by NO3 was comparable to and correlated with the organic aerosol loading for flights with relatively low organic aerosol background. The contribution of nocturnal isoprene oxidation to secondary organic aerosol was determined in the range 1 17%, and isoprene SOA mass derived from NO3 was calculated to exceed that due to OH by approximately 50%.

AB This paper describes a modelling study of several HOx and NOx species (OH, HO2, organic peroxy radicals, NO3 and N2O5) in the marine boundary layer. A model based upon the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) was constrained to observations of chemical and physical parameters made onboard the NOAA ship R/V Brown as part of the New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS) in the summer of 2004. The model was used to calculate [OH] and to determine the composition of the peroxy radical pool. Modelled [NO3] and [N2O5] were compared to in-situ measurements by Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy. The comparison showed that the model generally overestimated the measurements by 30-50%, on average.
The model results were analyzed with respect to several chemical and physical parameters, including uptake of NO3 and N2O5 on fog droplets and on aerosol, dry deposition of NO3 and N2O5, gas-phase hydrolysis of N2O5 and reactions of NO3 with NMHCs and peroxy radicals. The results suggest that fog, when present, is an important sink for N2O5 via rapid heterogeneous uptake. The comparison between the model and the measurements were consistent with values of the heterogeneous uptake coefficient of N2O5 (gamma(N2O5))> 1 x 10(-2), independent of aerosol composition in this marine environment. The analysis of the different loss processes of the nitrate radical showed the important role of the organic peroxy radicals, which accounted for a significant fraction (median: 15%) of NO3 gas-phase removal, particularly in the presence of high concentrations of dimethyl sulphide (DMS).

AB Multi-platform and multi-sensor observations are employed to investigate the impact of mineral dust on cloud microphysical and precipitation processes in mesoscale convective systems. For a given convective strength, small hydrometeors were more prevalent in the stratiform rain regions with dust than in those regions that were dust free. Evidence of abundant cloud ice particles in the dust sector, particularly at altitudes where heterogeneous nucleation of mineral dust prevails, further supports the observed changes of precipitation. The consequences of the microphysical effects of the dust aerosols were to shift the precipitation size spectrum from heavy precipitation to light precipitation and ultimately suppressing precipitation.

AB Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbonaceous aerosol were measured at a sub-urban site near Mexico City in March of 2006 during the MILAGRO study (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Objectives). Diurnal variations of hydrocarbons, elemental carbon (EC) and hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol (HOA) were dominated by a high peak in the early morning when local emissions accumulated in a shallow boundary layer, and a minimum in the afternoon when the emissions were diluted in a significantly expanded boundary layer and, in case of the reactive gases, removed by OH. In comparison, diurnal variations of species with secondary sources such as the aldehydes, ketones, oxygenated organic aerosol (OOA) and watersoluble organic carbon (WSOC) stayed relatively high in the afternoon indicating strong photochemical formation. Emission ratios of many hydrocarbon species relative to CO were higher in Mexico City than in the U. S., but we found similar emission ratios for most oxygenated VOCs and organic aerosol. Secondary formation of acetone may be more efficient in Mexico City than in the U. S., due to higher emissions of alkane precursors from the use of liquefied petroleum gas. Secondary formation of organic aerosol was similar between Mexico City and the U. S. Combining the data for all measured gas and aerosol species, we describe the budget of total observed organic carbon (TOOC), and find that the enhancement ratio of TOOC relative to CO is conserved between the early morning and mid afternoon despite large compositional changes. Finally, the influence of biomass burning is investigated using the measurements of acetonitrile, which was found to correlate with levoglucosan in the particle phase. Diurnal variations of acetonitrile indicate a contribution from local burning sources. Scatter plots of acetonitrile versus CO suggest that the contribution of biomass burning to the enhancement of most gas and aerosol species was not dominant and perhaps not dissimilar from observations in the U.S.

AB Aerosol composition was measured by the NOAA single-particle mass spectrometer (PALMS) aboard the NASA WB-57 high altitude aircraft platform during two Aura Validation Experiment (AVE) campaigns based in Costa Rica in 2004 and 2006. These studies yielded the most complete set of aerosol composition measurements to date throughout the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and tropical lower stratosphere. We describe the aerosol properties of the tropical atmosphere and use composition tracers to examine particle sources, the role of recent convection, and cirrus-forming potential in the TTL. Tropical dynamics and regional air sources played principal roles in dictating tropospheric aerosol properties. There was a sharp change in aerosol chemical composition at about 12 km altitude coincident with a change in convective influence. Below this level, maritime convection lofted condensable material that generated acidic, sulfate-rich aerosol. These particles contained significant amounts of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and showed evidence of cloud processes. In contrast, continental convection injected particles and precursors directly into the TTL, yielding a population of neutralized, organic-rich aerosol. The organics were often highly oxidized and particles with oxidized organics also contained nitrate. Above the tropopause, chemical composition gradually changed toward sulfuric acid particles but neutralized particles were still abundant 2 km above the tropopause. Deep continental convection, though sporadic and geographically localized, may strongly influence TTL aerosol properties on a global scale. The abundance of organic-rich aerosol may inhibit ice nucleation and formation of tropopause level cirrus.

LIDAR DATA
AB Due to both systematic and turbulent induced vertical fluctuations, the interpretation of atmospheric aircraft measurements requires a theory of turbulence. Until now virtually all the relevant theories have been isotropic or 'quasi isotropic' in the sense that their exponents are the same in all directions. However almost all the available data on the vertical structure shows that it is scaling but with exponents different from the horizontal: the turbulence is scaling but anisotropic. In this paper, we show how such turbulence can lead to spurious breaks in the scaling and to the spurious appearance of the vertical scaling exponent at large horizontal lags.
We demonstrate this using 16 legs of Gulfstream 4 aircraft near the top of the troposphere following isobars each between 500 and 3200 km in length. First we show that over wide ranges of scale, the horizontal spectra of the aircraft altitude are nearly k(-5/3). In addition, we show that the altitude and pressure fluctuations along these fractal trajectories have a high degree of coherence with the measured wind (especially with its longitudinal component). There is also a strong phase relation between the altitude, pressure and wind fluctuations; for scales less than 40 km (on average) the wind fluctuations lead the pressure and altitude, whereas for larger scales, the pressure fluctuations leads the wind. At the same transition scale, there is a break in the wind spectrum which we argue is caused by the aircraft starting to accurately follow isobars at the larger scales. In comparison, the temperature and humidity have low coherencies and phases and there are no apparent scale breaks, reinforcing the hypothesis that it is the aircraft trajectory that is causally linked to the scale breaks in the wind measurements.
Using spectra and structure functions for the wind, we then estimate their exponents (beta, H) at small (5/3, 1/3) and large scales (2.4, 0.73). The latter being very close to those estimated by drop sondes (2.4, 0.75) in the vertical direction. In addition, for each leg we estimate the energy flux, the sphero-scale and the critical transition scale. The latter varies quite widely from scales of kilometers to greater than several hundred kilometers. The overall conclusion is that up to the critical scale, the aircraft follows a fractal trajectory which may increase the intermittency of the measurements, but doesn't strongly affect the scaling exponents whereas for scales larger than the critical scale, the aircraft follows isobars whose exponents are different from those along isoheights (and equal to the vertical exponent perpendicular to the isoheights). We bolster this interpretation by considering the absolute slopes (vertical bar delta z/delta x vertical bar) of the aircraft as a function of lag delta x and of scale invariant lag delta x/delta z(z)(1/H).
We then revisit four earlier aircraft campaigns including GASP and MOZAIC showing that they all have nearly identical transitions and can thus be easily explained by the proposed combination of altitude/wind in an anisotropic but scaling turbulence. Finally, we argue that this reinterpretation in terms of wide range anisotropic scaling is compatible with atmospheric phenomenology including convection.

AB As part of the Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (HTAP; < a href='http://www.htap.org' target='_blank'> http:// www.htap.org ) project, we analyze results from 15 global and 1 hemispheric chemical transport models and compare these to Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNet) observations in the United States (US) for 2001. Using the policy-relevant maximum daily 8-h average ozone (MDA8 O-3) statistic, the multi-model ensemble represents the observations well (mean r(2)=0.57, ensemble bias = +4.1 ppbv for all US regions and all seasons) despite a wide range in the individual model results. Correlations are strongest in the northeastern US during spring and fall (r(2)=0.68); and weakest in the midwestern US in summer (r(2)=0.46). However, large positive mean biases exist during summer for all eastern US regions, ranging from 10-20 ppbv, and a smaller negative bias is present in the western US during spring (similar to 3 ppbv). In nearly all other regions and seasons, the biases of the model ensemble simulations are < 5 ppbv. Sensitivity simulations in which anthropogenic O-3-precursor emissions (NOx + NMVOC + CO + aerosols) were decreased by 20% in four source regions: East Asia (EA), South Asia (SA), Europe (EU) and North America (NA) show that the greatest response of MDA8 O-3 to the summed foreign emissions reductions occurs during spring in the West (0.9 ppbv reduction due to 20% emissions reductions from EA + SA + EU). East Asia is the largest contributor to MDA8 O-3 at all ranges of the O-3 distribution for most regions (typically similar to 0.45 ppbv) followed closely by Europe. The exception is in the northeastern US where emissions reductions in EU had a slightly greater influence than EA emissions, particularly in the middle of the MDA8 O-3 distribution (response of similar to 0.35 ppbv between 35-55 ppbv). EA and EU influences are both far greater (about 4x) than that from SA in all regions and seasons. In all regions and seasons O-3-precursor emissions reductions of 20% in the NA source region decrease MDA8 O-3 the most - by a factor of 2 to nearly 10 relative to foreign emissions reductions. The O-3 response to anthropogenic NA emissions is greatest in the eastern US during summer at the high end of the O-3 distribution (5-6 ppbv for 20% reductions). While the impact of foreign emissions on surface O-3 in the US is not negligible - and is of increasing concern given the recent growth in Asian emissions - domestic emissions reductions remain a far more effective means of decreasing MDA8 O-3 values, particularly those above 75 ppb (the current US standard).

AB We quantified ambient mixing ratios of 9 monoterpenes, 6 sesquiterpenes, methyl chavicol, the oxygenated terpene linalool, and nopinone using an in-situ gas chromatograph with a quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS). These measurements were a part of the 2007 Biosphere Effects on AeRosols and Photochemistry EXperiment (BEARPEX) at Blodgett Forest, a ponderosa pine forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. To our knowledge, these observations represent the first direct in-situ ambient quantification of the sesquiterpenes alpha-bergamotene, longifolene, alpha-farnesene, and beta-farnesene. From average diurnal mixing ratio profiles, we show that alpha-farnesene emissions are dependent mainly on temperature whereas alpha-bergamotene and beta-farnesene emissions are temperature- and light-dependent. The amount of sesquiterpene mass quantified above the canopy was small (averaging a total of 3.3 ppt during the day), but nevertheless these compounds contributed 7.6% to the overall ozone-olefin loss rate above the canopy. Assuming that the monoterpene-to-sesquiterpene emission rate in the canopy is similar to that observed in branch enclosure studies at the site during comparable weather conditions, and the average yield of aerosol mass from these sesquiterpenes is 10-50%, the amount of sesquiterpene mass reacted within the Blodgett Forest canopy alone accounts for 6-32% of the total organic aerosol mass measured during BEARPEX. The oxygenated monoterpene linalool was also quantified for the first time at Blodgett Forest. The linalool mass contribution was small (9.9 ppt and 0.74 ppt within and above the canopy, respectively), but it contributed 1.1% to the total ozone-olefin loss rate above the canopy. Reactive and semi-volatile compounds, especially sesquiterpenes, significantly impact the gas- and particle-phase chemistry of the atmosphere at Blodgett Forest and should be included in both biogenic volatile organic carbon emission and atmospheric chemistry models.

AB In March 2006 two instrumented aircraft made the first detailed field measurements of biomass burning (BB) emissions in the Northern Hemisphere tropics as part of the MILAGRO project. The aircraft were the National Center for Atmospheric Research C-130 and a University of Montana/US Forest Service Twin Otter. The initial emissions of up to 49 trace gas or particle species were measured from 20 deforestation and crop residue fires on the Yucatan peninsula. This included two trace gases useful as indicators of BB (HCN and acetonitrile) and several rarely, or never before, measured species: OH, peroxyacetic acid, propanoic acid, hydrogen peroxide, methane sulfonic acid, and sulfuric acid. Crop residue fires emitted more organic acids and ammonia than deforestation fires, but the emissions from the main fire types were otherwise fairly similar. The Yucatan fires emitted unusually high amounts of SO2 and particle chloride, likely due to a strong marine influence on this peninsula. As smoke from one fire aged, the ratio Delta O-3/Delta CO increased to similar to 15% in 1x10(7) molecules/cm(3)) that were likely caused in part by high initial HONO (similar to 10% of NOy). Thus, more research is needed to understand critical post emission processes for the second-largest trace gas source on Earth. It is estimated that similar to 44 Tg of biomass burned in the Yucatan in the spring of 2006. Mexican BB (including Yucatan BB) and urban emissions from the Mexico City area can both influence the March-May air quality in much of Mexico and the US.

AB This paper analyses a stratospheric injection by deep convection of biomass fire emissions over North America (Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories) on 24 June 2004 and its long-range transport over the eastern coast of the United States and the eastern Atlantic. The case study is based on airborne MOZAIC observations of ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and water vapour during the crossing of the southernmost tip of an upper level trough over the Eastern Atlantic on 30 June and on a vertical profile over Washington DC on 30 June, and on lidar observations of aerosol backscattering at Madison (University of Wisconsin) on 28 June. Attribution of the observed CO plumes to the boreal fires is achieved by backward simulations with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (FLEXPART). A simulation with the Meso-NH model for the source region shows that a boundary layer tracer, mimicking the boreal forest fire smoke, is lofted into the lowermost stratosphere (2-5 pvu layer) during the diurnal convective cycle at isentropic levels (above 335 K) corresponding to those of the downstream MOZAIC observations. It is shown that the order of magnitude of the time needed by the parameterized convective detrainment flux to fill the volume of a model mesh (20 km horizontal, 500 m vertical) above the tropopause with pure boundary layer air would be about 7.5 h, i.e. a time period compatible with the convective diurnal cycle. Over the area of interest, the maximum instantaneous detrainment fluxes deposited about 15 to 20% of the initial boundary layer tracer concentration at 335 K. According to the 275-ppbv carbon monoxide maximum mixing ratio observed by MOZAIC over Eastern Atlantic, such detrainment fluxes would be associated with a 1.4-1.8 ppmv carbon monoxide mixing ratio in the boundary layer over the source region.

AB The atmospheric methyl bromide (CH(3)Br) burden has declined in recent years, in response to the phaseout of agricultural and structural fumigation consumption under the amendments to the Montreal Protocol. The timing and magnitude of this decrease represents an opportunity to examine our current understanding of atmospheric CH(3)Br and its budget, response to the phaseout, and response to interannual variability in biomass burning and global OH. In this study, simulations obtained from a time-dependent global model of atmospheric CH(3)Br emissions and uptake are compared to observations from the NOAA flask network. The model includes a detailed gridded ocean model coupled to a time-dependant atmospheric 2-box model. The phaseout of CH(3)Br production for agricultural uses began in 1998, concurrent with the pulse in biomass burning associated with the 1998 El Nino. The combined effects of three factors (biomass burning, global OH, and anthropogenic phaseout) appear to explain most of the observed atmospheric methyl bromide variability over the 1997-2008 period. The global budget remains imbalanced, with a large missing source indicated. The missing source does not exhibit a systematic decline during the phaseout period, and therefore, is not the result of significantly underestimating non-QPS agricultural CH(3)Br emissions. The model results suggest that the oceans should be less undersaturated than before the phaseout began.

AB Observations and models demonstrate that ozone and its precursors can be transported between continents and across oceans. We model the influences of 10% reductions in anthropogenic nitrogen oxide (NO(x)) emissions from each of nine world regions on surface ozone air quality in that region and all other regions. In doing so, we quantify the relative importance of long-range transport between all source-receptor pairs, for direct short-term ozone changes. We find that for population-weighted concentrations during the three-month "ozone-season", the strongest inter-regional influences are from Europe to the Former Soviet Union, East Asia to Southeast Asia, and Europe to Africa. The largest influences per unit of NO(x) reduced, however, are seen for source regions in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere, which we attribute mainly to greater sensitivity to changes in NO(x) in the lower troposphere, and secondarily to increased vertical convection to the free troposphere in tropical regions, allowing pollutants to be transported further. Results show, for example, that NO(x) reductions in North America are similar to 20% as effective per unit NO(x) in reducing ozone in Europe during summer, as NO(x) reductions from Europe itself. Reducing anthropogenic emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO) by 10% in selected regions, can have as large an impact on long-range ozone transport as NO(x) reductions, depending on the source region. We find that for many source-receptor pairs, the season of greatest long-range influence does not coincide with the season when ozone is highest in the receptor region. Reducing NO(x) emissions in most source regions causes a larger decrease in export of ozone from the source region than in ozone production outside of the source region.

AB Large-scale changes in ozone precursor emissions affect ozone directly in the short term, and also affect methane, which in turn causes long-term changes in ozone that affect surface ozone air quality. Here we assess the effects of changes in ozone precursor emissions on the long-term change in surface ozone via methane, as a function of the emission region, by modeling 10% reductions in anthropogenic nitrogen oxide (NO(x)) emissions from each of nine world regions. Reductions in NO(x) emissions from all world regions increase methane and long-term surface ozone. While this long-term increase is small compared to the intra-regional short-term ozone decrease, it is comparable to or larger than the short-term inter-continental ozone decrease for some source-receptor pairs. The increase in methane and long-term surface ozone per ton of NO(x) reduced is greatest in tropical and Southern Hemisphere regions, exceeding that from temperate Northern Hemisphere regions by roughly a factor of ten. We also assess changes in premature ozone-related human mortality associated with regional precursor reductions and long-range transport, showing that for 10% regional NO(x) reductions, the strongest inter-regional influence is for emissions from Europe affecting mortalities in Africa. Reductions of NO(x) in North America, Europe, the Former Soviet Union, and Australia are shown to reduce more mortalities outside of the source regions than within. Among world regions, NO(x) reductions in India cause the greatest number of avoided mortalities per ton, mainly in India itself. Finally, by increasing global methane, NO(x) reductions in one hemisphere tend to cause long-term increases in ozone concentration and mortalities in the opposite hemisphere. Reducing emissions of methane, and to a lesser extent carbon monoxide and non-methane volatile organic compounds, alongside NO(x) reductions would avoid this dis-benefit.

AB Simulated primary organic aerosols (POA), as well as other particulates and trace gases, in the vicinity of Mexico City are evaluated using measurements collected during the 2006 Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations (MILAGRO) field campaigns. Since the emission inventories, transport, and turbulent mixing will directly affect predictions of total organic matter and consequently total particulate matter, our objective is to assess the uncertainties in predicted POA before testing and evaluating the performance of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) treatments. Carbon monoxide (CO) is well simulated on most days both over the city and downwind, indicating that transport and mixing processes were usually consistent with the meteorological conditions observed during MILAGRO. Predicted and observed elemental carbon (EC) in the city was similar, but larger errors occurred at remote locations since the overall CO/EC emission ratios in the national emission inventory were lower than in the metropolitan emission inventory. Components of organic aerosols derived from Positive Matrix Factorization of data from several Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer instruments deployed both at ground sites and on research aircraft are used to evaluate the model. Modeled POA was consistently lower than the measured organic matter at the ground sites, which is consistent with the expectation that SOA should be a large fraction of the total organic matter mass. A much better agreement was found when modeled POA was compared with the sum of "primary anthropogenic" and "biomass burning" components derived from Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) on most days, especially at the surface sites, suggesting that the overall magnitude of primary organic particulates released was reasonable. However, simulated POA from anthropogenic sources was often lower than "primary anthropogenic" components derived from PMF, consistent with two recent reports that these emissions are underestimated. The modeled POA was greater than the total observed organic matter when the aircraft flew directly downwind of large fires, suggesting that biomass burning emission estimates from some large fires may be too high.

AB Simultaneous observations from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) and from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), launched together onboard the European MetOp platform in October 2006, are used to retrieve a mid-to-upper tropospheric content of methane (CH(4)) in clear-sky conditions, in the tropics, over sea, for the first 16 months of operation of MetOp (July 2007-October 2008). With its high spectral resolution, IASI provides nine channels in the 7.7 mu m band highly sensitive to CH(4) with reduced sensitivities to other atmospheric variables. These channels, sensitive to both CH(4) and temperature, are used in conjunction with AMSU channels, only sensitive to temperature, to decorrelate both signals through a non-linear inference scheme based on neural networks. A key point of this approach is that no use is made of prior information in terms of methane seasonality, trend, or geographical patterns. The precision of the retrieval is estimated to be about 16 ppbv (similar to 0.9%). Features of the retrieved methane space-time distribution include: (1) a strong seasonal cycle of 30 ppbv in the northern tropics with a maximum in January-March and a minimum in July-September, and a flat seasonal cycle in the southern tropics, in agreement with in-situ measurements; (2) a latitudinal decrease of 30 ppbv from 20 degrees N to 20 degrees S, in boreal spring and summer, lower than what is observed at the surface but in excellent agreement with tropospheric aircraft measurements; (3) geographical patterns in good agreement with simulations from the atmospheric transport and chemistry model MOZART-2, but with a higher variability and a higher concentration in boreal winter; (4) signatures of CH(4) emissions transported to the middle troposphere such as a large plume of elevated tropospheric methane south of the Asian continent, which might be due to Asian emissions from rice paddies uplifted by deep convection during the monsoon period and then transported towards Indonesia. In addition to bringing a greatly improved view of methane distribution, these results from IASI should provide a means to observe and understand atmospheric transport pathways of methane from the surface to the upper troposphere.

AB While chemistry-climate models are able to reproduce many characteristics of the global total column ozone field and its long-term evolution, they have fared less well in simulating the commonly used diagnostic of the area of the Antarctic ozone hole i.e. the area within the 220 Dobson Unit (DU) contour. Two possible reasons for this are: (1) the underlying Global Climate Model (GCM) does not correctly simulate the size of the polar vortex, and (2) the stratospheric chemistry scheme incorporated into the GCM, and/or the model dynamics, results in systematic biases in the total column ozone fields such that the 220DU contour is no longer appropriate for delineating the edge of the ozone hole. Both causes are examined here with a view to developing ozone hole area diagnostics that better suit measurement-model inter-comparisons. The interplay between the shape of the meridional mixing barrier at the edge of the vortex and the meridional gradients in total column ozone across the vortex edge is investigated in measurements and in 5 chemistry-climate models (CCMs). Analysis of the simulation of the polar vortex in the CCMs shows that the first of the two possible causes does play a role in some models. This in turn affects the ability of the models to simulate the large observed meridional gradients in total column ozone. The second of the two causes also strongly affects the ability of the CCMs to track the observed size of the ozone hole. It is shown that by applying a common algorithm to the CCMs for selecting a delineating threshold unique to each model, a more appropriate diagnostic of ozone hole area can be generated that shows better agreement with that derived from observations.

AB Alkyl nitrates and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced during the oxidation of isoprene by nitrate radicals has been observed in the SAPHIR ( Simulation of Atmospheric PHotochemistry In a large Reaction Chamber) chamber. A 16 h dark experiment was conducted with temperatures at 289-301 K, and maximum concentrations of 11 ppb isoprene, 62.4 ppb O-3 and 31.1 ppb NOX. We find the yield of nitrates is 70 +/- 8% from the isoprene + NO3 reaction, and the yield for secondary dinitrates produced in the reaction of primary isoprene nitrates with NO3 is 40 +/- 20%. We find an effective rate constant for reaction of NO3 with the group of first generation oxidation products to be 7 x 10(-14) molecule(-1) cm(3) s(-1). At the low total organic aerosol concentration in the chamber (max=0.52 mu g m(-3)) we observed a mass yield (Delta SOA mass/Delta isoprene mass) of 2% for the entire 16 h experiment. However a comparison of the timing of the observed SOA production to a box model simulation of first and second generation oxidation products shows that the yield from the first generation products was <0.7% while the further oxidation of the initial products leads to a yield of 14% ( defined as Delta SOA/Delta isoprene(2X) where Delta isoprene(2X) is the mass of isoprene which reacted twice with NO3). The SOA yield of 14% is consistent with equilibrium partitioning of highly functionalized C-5 products of isoprene oxidation.

TI Closing the peroxy acetyl nitrate budget: observations of acyl peroxy

AB Acyl peroxy nitrates (APNs, also known as PANs) are formed from the oxidation of aldehydes and other oxygenated VOC (oVOC) in the presence of NO2. There are both anthropogenic and biogenic oVOC precursors to APNs, but a detailed evaluation of this chemistry against observations has proven elusive. Here we describe measurements of PAN, PPN, and MPAN along with the majority of chemicals that participate in their production and loss, including OH, HO2, numerous oVOC, and NO2. Observations were made during the Biosphere Effects on AeRosols and Photochemistry Experiment (BEARPEX 2007) in the outflow of the Sacramento urban plume. These observations are used to evaluate a detailed chemical model of APN ratios and concentrations. We find that the ratios of APNs are nearly independent of the loss mechanisms and thus an especially good test of our understanding of their sources. We show that oxidation of methylvinyl ketone, methacrolein, methyl glyoxal, biacetyl and acetaldehyde are all significant sources of the PAN+peroxy acetyl (PA) radical reservoir, accounting for 26%, 2%, 7%, 20%, and 45%, of the production rate on average during the campaign, respectively. At high temperatures, when upwind isoprene emissions are highest, oxidation of non-acetaldehyde PA radical sources contributes over 60% to the total PA production rate, with methylvinyl ketone being the most important of the isoprene-derived sources. An analysis of absolute APN concentrations reveals a missing APN sink that can be resolved by increasing the PA+Sigma RO2 rate constant by a factor of 3.

mineral dust over the Eastern North Pacific during INTEX-B

AB In-situ airborne measurements of trace gases, aerosol size distributions, chemistry and optical properties were conducted over Mexico and the Eastern North Pacific during MILAGRO and INTEX-B. Heterogeneous reactions between secondary aerosol precursor gases and mineral dust lead to sequestration of sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine in the supermicrometer particulate size range.
Simultaneous measurements of aerosol size distributions and weak-acid soluble calcium result in an estimate of 11 wt% of CaCO3 for Asian dust. During transport across the North Pacific, similar to 5-30% of the CaCO3 is converted to CaSO4 or Ca(NO3)(2) with an additional similar to 4% consumed through reactions with HCl. The 1996 to 2008 record from the Mauna Loa Observatory confirm these findings, indicating that, on average, 19% of the CaCO3 has reacted to form CaSO4 and 7% has reacted to form Ca(NO3)(2) and similar to 2% has reacted with HCl. In the nitrogen-oxide rich boundary layer near Mexico City up to 30% of the CaCO3 has reacted to form Ca(NO3)(2) while an additional 8% has reacted with HCl.
These heterogeneous reactions can result in a similar to 3% increase in dust solubility which has an insignificant effect on their optical properties compared to their variability in-situ. However, competition between supermicrometer dust and submicrometer primary aerosol for condensing secondary aerosol species led to a 25% smaller number median diameter for the accumulation mode aerosol. A 10-25% reduction of accumulation mode number median diameter results in a 30-70% reduction in submicrometer light scattering at relative humidities in the 80-95% range. At 80% RH submicrometer light scattering is only reduced similar to 3% due to a higher mass fraction of hydrophobic refractory components in the dust-affected accumulation mode aerosol. Thus reducing the geometric mean diameter of the submicrometer aerosol has a much larger effect on aerosol optical properties than changes to the hygroscopic: hydrophobic mass fractions of the accumulation mode aerosol.
In the presence of dust, nitric acid concentrations are reduced to <50% of total nitrate (nitric acid plus particulate nitrate). NOy as a fraction of total nitrogen (NOy plus particulate nitrate), is reduced from >85% to 60-80% in the presence of dust. These observations support previous model studies which predict irreversible sequestration of reactive nitrogen species through heterogeneous reactions with mineral dust during long-range transport.

AB The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) onboard the MetOp satellite measures carbon monoxide (CO) on a global scale, twice a day. CO total columns and vertical profiles are retrieved in near real time from the nadir radiance spectra measured by the instrument in the thermal infrared (TIR) spectral range. This paper describes the measurement vertical sensitivity and provides a first assessment of the capabilities of IASI to measure CO distributions. On the global scale, 0.8 to 2.4 independent pieces of information are available for the retrieval. At mid latitudes, the information ranges between 1.5 and 2, which enables the lower and upper troposphere to be distinguished, especially when thermal contrast is significant. Global distributions of column CO are evaluated with correlative observations available from other nadir looking TIR missions currently in operation: the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) onboard TERRA, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder ( AIRS) onboard AQUA and the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) onboard AURA. The IASI CO columns are compared with MOPITT, AIRS and TES CO columns, adjusted with the a priori, for three different months: August 2008, November 2008 and February 2009. On average, total column discrepancies of about 7% are found between IASI and the three other sounders in the Northern Hemisphere and in the equatorial region. However when strong CO concentrations are present, such as during fire events, these discrepancies can climb as high as 17%. Instrument specifications of IASI versus other missions are also discussed.

AB The impact and significance of uncertainties in model calculations of stratospheric ozone loss resulting from known uncertainty in chemical kinetics parameters is evaluated in trajectory chemistry simulations for the Antarctic and Arctic polar vortices. The uncertainty in modeled ozone loss is derived from Monte Carlo scenario simulations varying the kinetic (reaction and photolysis rate) parameters within their estimated uncertainty bounds. Simulations of a typical winter/spring Antarctic vortex scenario and Match scenarios in the Arctic produce large uncertainty in ozone loss rates and integrated seasonal loss. The simulations clearly indicate that the dominant source of model uncertainty in polar ozone loss is uncertainty in the Cl(2)O(2) photolysis reaction, which arises from uncertainty in laboratory-measured molecular cross sections at atmospherically important wavelengths. This estimated uncertainty in J(Cl2)O(2) from laboratory measurements seriously hinders our ability to model polar ozone loss within useful quantitative error limits. Atmospheric observations, however, suggest that the Cl(2)O(2) photolysis uncertainty may be less than that derived from the lab data. Comparisons to Match, South Pole ozonesonde, and Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) data all show that the nominal recommended rate simulations agree with data within uncertainties when the Cl(2)O(2) photolysis error is reduced by a factor of two, in line with previous in situ ClO(x) measurements. Comparisons to simulations using recent cross sections from Pope et al. (2007) are outside the constrained error bounds in each case. Other reactions producing significant sensitivity in polar ozone loss include BrO + ClO and its branching ratios. These uncertainties challenge our confidence in modeling polar ozone depletion and projecting future changes in response to changing halogen emissions and climate. Further laboratory, theoretical, and possibly atmospheric studies are needed.

AB Aerosol indirect effects continue to constitute one of the most important uncertainties for anthropogenic climate perturbations. Within the international AEROCOM initiative, the representation of aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in ten different general circulation models (GCMs) is evaluated using three satellite datasets. The focus is on stratiform liquid water clouds since most GCMs do not include ice nucleation effects, and none of the model explicitly parameterises aerosol effects on convective clouds. We compute statistical relationships between aerosol optical depth (tau(a)) and various cloud and radiation quantities in a manner that is consistent between the models and the satellite data. It is found that the model-simulated influence of aerosols on cloud droplet number concentration (N-d) compares relatively well to the satellite data at least over the ocean. The relationship between tau(a) and liquid water path is simulated much too strongly by the models. This suggests that the implementation of the second aerosol indirect effect mainly in terms of an autoconversion parameterisation has to be revisited in the GCMs. A positive relationship between total cloud fraction (f(cld)) and tau(a) as found in the satellite data is simulated by the majority of the models, albeit less strongly than that in the satellite data in most of them. In a discussion of the hypotheses proposed in the literature to explain the satellite-derived strong f(cld)-tau(a) relationship, our results indicate that none can be identified as a unique explanation. Relationships similar to the ones found in satellite data between tau(a) and cloud top temperature or outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) are simulated by only a few GCMs. The GCMs that simulate a negative OLR-tau(a) relationship show a strong positive correlation between tau(a) and f(cld). The short-wave total aerosol radiative forcing as simulated by the GCMs is strongly influenced by the simulated anthropogenic fraction of tau(a), and parameterisation assumptions such as a lower bound on N-d. Nevertheless, the strengths of the statistical relationships are good predictors for the aerosol forcings in the models. An estimate of the total short-wave aerosol forcing inferred from the combination of these predictors for the modelled forcings with the satellite-derived statistical relationships yields a global annual mean value of -1.5 +/- 0.5 Wm(-2). In an alternative approach, the radiative flux perturbation due to anthropogenic aerosols can be broken down into a component over the cloud-free portion of the globe (approximately the aerosol direct effect) and a component over the cloudy portion of the globe (approximately the aerosol indirect effect). An estimate obtained by scaling these simulated clear- and cloudy-sky forcings with estimates of anthropogenic tau(a) and satellite-retrieved N-d-tau(a) regression slopes, respectively, yields a global, annual-mean aerosol direct effect estimate of -0.4 +/- 0.2 Wm(-2) and a cloudy-sky (aerosol indirect effect) estimate of -0.7 +/- 0.5 Wm(-2), with a total estimate of -1.2 +/- 0.4 Wm(-2).

AB Aerosol-cloud interactions are considered to be one of the most important and least known forcings in the climate system. Biomass burning aerosols are of special interest due to their radiative impact (direct and indirect effect) and their potential to increase in the future due to climate change. Combining data from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) and MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) with passive tracers from the FLEXPART Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model, the impact of biomass burning aerosols on marine stratocumulus clouds has been examined in June and July of 2006-2008 off the California coast. Using a continental tracer, the indirect effect of biomass burning aerosols has been isolated by comparing the average cloud fraction and cloud albedo for different meteorological situations, and for clean versus polluted (in terms of biomass burning) continental air masses at 14:00 local time. Within a 500 km-wide band along the coast of California, biomass burning aerosols, which tend to reside above the marine boundary layer, increased the cloud fraction by 0.143, and the cloud albedo by 0.038. Absorbing aerosols located above the marine boundary layer lead to an increase of the lower tropospheric stability and a reduction in the vertical entrainment of dry air from above, leading to increased cloud formation. The combined effect was an indirect radiative forcing of -7.5% +/- 1.7% (cooling effect) of the outgoing radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere on average, with a bias due to meteorology of +0.9%. Further away from the coast, the biomass burning aerosols, which were located within the boundary layer, reduced the cloud fraction by 0.023 and the cloud albedo by 0.006, resulting in an indirect radiative forcing of +1.3% +/- 0.3% (warming effect) with a bias of +0.5%. These results underscore the dual role that absorbing aerosols play in cloud radiative forcing.

AB Aerosol measurements at Barrow, Alaska during the past 30 years have identified the long range transport of pollution associated with Arctic Haze as well as ocean-derived aerosols of more local origin. Here, we focus on measurements of aerosol chemical composition to assess (1) trends in Arctic Haze aerosol and implications for source regions, (2) the interaction between pollution-derived and ocean-derived aerosols and the resulting impacts on the chemistry of the Arctic boundary layer, and (3) the response of aerosols to a changing climate. Aerosol chemical composition measured at Barrow, AK during the Arctic haze season is compared for the years 1976-1977 and 1997-2008. Based on these two data sets, concentrations of non-sea salt (nss) sulfate (SO4=) and non-crustal (nc) vanadium (V) have decreased by about 60% over this 30 year period. Consistency in the ratios of nss SO4=/ncV and nc manganese (Mn)/ncV between the two data sets indicates that, although emissions have decreased in the source regions, the source regions have remained the same over this time period. The measurements from 1997-2008 indicate that, during the haze season, the nss SO4= aerosol at Barrow is becoming less neutralized by ammonium (NH4+) yielding an increasing sea salt aerosol chloride (Cl-) deficit. The expected consequence is an increase in the release of Cl atoms to the atmosphere and a change in the lifetime of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including methane. In addition, summertime concentrations of biogenically-derived methanesulfonate (MSA(-)) and nss SO4= are increasing at a rate of 12 and 8% per year, respectively. Further research is required to assess the environmental factors behind the increasing concentrations of biogenic aerosol.

AB We evaluate black carbon (BC) model predictions from the AeroCom model intercomparison project by considering the diversity among year 2000 model simulations and comparing model predictions with available measurements. These model-measurement intercomparisons include BC surface and aircraft concentrations, aerosol absorption optical depth (AAOD) retrievals from AERONET and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and BC column estimations based on AERONET. In regions other than Asia, most models are biased high compared to surface concentration measurements. However compared with (column) AAOD or BC burden retreivals, the models are generally biased low. The average ratio of model to retrieved AAOD is less than 0.7 in South American and 0.6 in African biomass burning regions; both of these regions lack surface concentration measurements. In Asia the average model to observed ratio is 0.7 for AAOD and 0.5 for BC surface concentrations. Compared with aircraft measurements over the Americas at latitudes between 0 and 50N, the average model is a factor of 8 larger than observed, and most models exceed the measured BC standard deviation in the mid to upper troposphere. At higher latitudes the average model to aircraft BC ratio is 0.4 and models underestimate the observed BC loading in the lower and middle troposphere associated with springtime Arctic haze. Low model bias for AAOD but overestimation of surface and upper atmospheric BC concentrations at lower latitudes suggests that most models are underestimating BC absorption and should improve estimates for refractive index, particle size, and optical effects of BC coating. Retrieval uncertainties and/or differences with model diagnostic treatment may also contribute to the model-measurement disparity. Largest AeroCom model diversity occurred in northern Eurasia and the remote Arctic, regions influenced by anthropogenic sources. Changing emissions, aging, removal, or optical properties within a single model generated a smaller change in model predictions than the range represented by the full set of AeroCom models. Upper tropospheric concentrations of BC mass from the aircraft measurements are suggested to provide a unique new benchmark to test scavenging and vertical dispersion of BC in global models.

TI Tropospheric ozone from IASI: comparison of different inversion
algorithms and validation with ozone sondes in the northern middle
latitudes
SO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
ID SATELLITE; REGULARIZATION; CLIMATE; MIPAS
AB This paper presents a first statistical validation of tropospheric ozone products derived from measurements of the IASI satellite instrument. Since the end of 2006, IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) aboard the polar orbiter Metop-A measures infrared spectra of the Earth's atmosphere in nadir geometry. This validation covers the northern mid-latitudes and the period from July 2007 to August 2008. Retrieval results from four different sources are presented: three are from scientific products (LATMOS, LISA, LPMAA) and the fourth one is the pre-operational product distributed by EUMETSAT (version 4.2). The different products are derived from different algorithms with different approaches. The difference and their implications for the retrieved products are discussed. In order to evaluate the quality and the performance of each product, comparisons with the vertical ozone concentration profiles measured by balloon sondes are performed and lead to estimates of the systematic and random errors in the IASI ozone products (profiles and partial columns). A first comparison is performed on the given profiles; a second comparison takes into account the altitude dependent sensitivity of the retrievals. Tropospheric columnar amounts are compared to the sonde for a lower tropospheric column (surface to about 6 km) and a 'total' tropospheric column (surface to about 11 km). On average both tropospheric columns have small biases for the scientific products, less than 2 Dobson Units (DU) for the lower troposphere and less than 1 DU for the total troposphere. The comparison of the still pre-operational EUMETSAT columns shows higher mean differences of about 5 DU.

TI A study of the ozone formation by ensemble back trajectory-process

DE Ozone formation; Eta-CMAQ model; Process analysis; Back trajectory
ID AIR-QUALITY; UNITED-STATES; SYSTEM; POLLUTION
AB The integrated process rates (IPRs) estimated by the Eta-CMAQ model at grid cells along the trajectory of the air mass transport path were analyzed to quantitatively investigate the relative importance of physical and chemical processes for O-3 formation and evolution over the northeastern U.S. during the 2004 International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT) period. The Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model is used to determine the back trajectory of air masses reaching the northeast by linking a downwind receptor to upwind source areas. The process analysis is applied to a high O-3 episode occurring on July 22, 2004 at three selected sites in the northeastern U.S. The process analysis at the location of the site shows that during the daytime, the O-3 concentrations in the surface layer are mainly enhanced by the vertical diffusion of O-3-rich air from aloft, followed by horizontal advection (HADV) and chemical production (CHEM), whereas dry deposition (DDEP) and vertical advection (ZADV) mainly deplete O-3 concentrations at the sites of Valley Central (VC), NY and Castle Spring (CS), NH. By integrating the effects of each process over the depth of the daytime planetary boundary layer (PBL), it was found that at the VC site, CHEM and HADV contributed about 53% and 41%, respectively, to O-3 levels within the PBL. This confirms the significance of regional transport of O-3 froth the industrialized areas into the Northeast. On the other hand, the process analysis results for O-3 formation in moving air masses indicate that on July 22, large chemical production of O-3 along the transport path over the polluted urban regions leads to significant increase in O-3 in the air mass reaching the VC site, whereas the low chemical production of O-3 along the transport path over the low emission regions leads to the low O-3 concentration at the site of Belleayre Mountain (BM), NY. The dramatic buildup of O-3 concentration from 50 ppb to 102 ppb in the air masses before reaching the VC site after 12:00 EST on 7/22 indicates the significant impact of pollution from the northeastern urban corridor at this site. On the basis of the results at the CS site, it was found that high NOx emissions along the transport path led to large chemical production of O-3 in the air mass reaching the CS site on July 22. In contrast, the low chemical production of O-3 associated with low emission (relatively clean conditions) along the transport path over the northern portions of the domain is responsible for the low O-3 concentration at the CS site on July 26.

AB The main use of air quality forecast (AQF) models is to predict ozone (O(3)) exceedances of the primary O(3) standard for informing the public of potential health concerns. This study presents the first evaluation of the performance of the Eta-CMAQ air quality forecast model to predict a variety of widely used seasonal mean and cumulative O(3) exposure indices associated with vegetation using the U.S. AIRNow O(3) observations. These exposure indices include two concentration-based O(3) indices, M7 and M12 (the seasonal means of daytime 7-h and 12-h O(3) concentrations, respectively), and three cumulative exposure-based indices, SUM06 (the sum of all hourly O(3) concentrations >= 0.06 ppm), W126 (hourly concentrations weighed by a sigmoidal weighting function), and AOT40 (O(3) concentrations accumulated over a threshold of 40 ppb during daylight hours). During a three-month simulation (July-September 2005), the model over predicted the M7 and M12 values by 8-9 ppb, or a NMB value of 19% and a NME value of 21%. The model predicts a central belt of high O(3) extending from Southern California to Middle Atlantic where the seasonal means, M7 and M12 (the seasonal means of daytime 7-h and 12-h O(3) concentrations), are higher than 50 ppbv. In contrast, the model is less capable of reproducing the observed cumulative indices. For AOT40, SUM06 and W126, the NMB and NME values are two- to three-fold of that for M7, M12 or peak 8-h O(3) concentrations. The AOT40 values range from 2 to 33 ppm h by the model and from 1 to 40 ppm h by the monitors. There is a significantly higher AOT40 value experienced in the United States in comparison to Europe. The domain-wide mean SUM06 value is 14.4 ppm h, which is about 30% higher than W126, and 40% higher than AOT40 calculated from the same 3-month hourly O(3) data. This suggests that SUM06 and W126 represent a more stringent standard than AOT40 if either the SUM06 or the W126 was used as a secondary O(3) standard. Although CMAQ considerably over predicts SUM06 and W126 values at the low end, the model under predicts the extreme high exposure values (>50 ppm h). Most of these extreme high values are found at inland California sites. Based on our analysis, further improvement of the model is needed to better capture cumulative exposure indices.

AB Torrential rainfall processes associated with a landfall of Typhoon Bilis (2006) are investigated using a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model simulation. The model is integrated for 6 days with imposed zonally-uniform vertical velocity, zonal wind, horizontal temperature and vapor advection from NCEP/GDAS data. The simulation is validated with observations in terms of surface rain rate and reflectivity. The simulated stratiform clouds cover 89% of the simulation domain that leads to dominant stratiform rainfall on 15 July 2006. The convective clouds develop to cover 29% of the simulation domain that yields dominant convective rainfall whereas the stratiform clouds shrink to 46% on 16 July 2006. The domain-mean simulation shows that the increase of domain-mean surface rain rate from 15 to 16 July 2006 mainly results from local atmospheric moistening on 15 July and local atmospheric drying on 16 July although water vapor convergence rates in the two days are similar.

The simulations were performed within the framework of Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (NLTE) Code Comparison Workshops utilizing several independent collisional-radiative models. The calculations generally agree with each other; however, a clear disagreement with experimental ionization distributions at low temperatures 2 keV < T-e < 3 keV is observed. Comparison is made with other calculations. The obtained results can be used in planning new experiments in magnetic confinement fusion.

AB Because of the complexity in determining the 3D structure of a protein, the use of partial information determined from experimental techniques can greatly reduce the overall computational expense. We investigate the problem of matching experimentally observed lengths of helices to the predicted secondary structure of a protein. We give a simple and fast algorithm for producing a library of potential solutions. We test our algorithm by performing a series of computational experiments for predicting the alpha helix placement of proteins with an already known order. These tests seem to demonstrate that our method, if given a good prediction of the protein's secondary structure, can generate high quality lists of potential placements of the helix lengths onto the protein sequence.

AB There has been considerable interest in the physical basis for the increased thermostability of thermophilic proteins with respect to their mesophilic counterparts since the discovery of highly thermo-tolerant organisms. We have systematically studied a large set of protein structures in order to find those properties with the most power to discriminate mesophilic proteins from their thermophilic orthologs. Most of the structure-based descriptors used in our discrimination and classification experiments were derived from the Delaunay tessellations of the protein structures.

AB The subtropical Indian Ocean along 32 degrees S was for the first time simultaneously sampled in 2002 for inorganic carbon and transient tracers. The vertical distribution and inventory of anthropogenic carbon (CANT) from five different methods: four data-base methods (Delta C*, TrOCA, TTD and IPSL) and a simulation from the OCCAM model are compared and discussed along with the observed CFC-12 and CCl4 distributions. In the surface layer, where carbon-based methods are uncertain, TTD and OCCAM yield the same result (7 +/- 0.2 molC m(-2)), helping to specify the surface CANT inventory. Below the mixed-layer, the comparison suggests that CANT penetrates deeper and more uniformly into the Antarctic Intermediate Water layer limit than estimated from the much utilized Delta C* method. Significant CFC-12 and CCl4 values are detected in bottom waters, associated with Antarctic Bottom Water. In this layer, except for Delta C* and OCCAM, the other methods detect significant CANT values. Consequently, the lowest inventory is calculated using the Delta C* method (24 +/- 2 molC m(-2)) or OCCAM (24.4 +/- 2.8 molC m(-2)) while TrOCA, TTD, and IPSL lead to higher inventories (28.1 +/- 2.2, 28.9 +/- 2.3 and 30.8 +/- 2.5 molC m(-2) respectively). Overall and despite the uncertainties each method is evaluated using its relationship with tracers and the knowledge about water masses in the subtropical Indian Ocean. Along 32 degrees S our best estimate for the mean CANT specific inventory is 28 +/- 2 molC m(-2). Comparison exercises for data-based CANT methods along with time-series or repeat sections analysis should help to identify strengths and caveats in the CANT methods and to better constrain model simulations.

TI Incorporation of crop phenology in Simple Biosphere Model (SiBcrop) to

AB Croplands are man-made ecosystems that have high net primary productivity during the growing season of crops, thus impacting carbon and other exchanges with the atmosphere. These exchanges play a major role in nutrient cycling and climate change related issues. An accurate representation of crop phenology and physiology is important in land-atmosphere carbon models being used to predict these exchanges. To better estimate time-varying exchanges of carbon, water, and energy of croplands using the Simple Biosphere (SiB) model, we developed crop-specific phenology models and coupled them to SiB. The coupled SiB-phenology model (SiBcrop) replaces remotely-sensed NDVI information, on which SiB originally relied for deriving Leaf Area Index (LAI) and the fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) for estimating carbon dynamics. The use of the new phenology scheme within SiB substantially improved the prediction of LAI and carbon fluxes for maize, soybean, and wheat crops, as compared with the observed data at several AmeriFlux eddy covariance flux tower sites in the US mid continent region. SiBcrop better predicted the onset and end of the growing season, harvest, interannual variability associated with crop rotation, day time carbon uptake (especially for maize) and day to day variability in carbon exchange. Biomass predicted by SiBcrop had good agreement with the observed biomass at field sites. In the future, we will predict fine resolution regional scale carbon and other exchanges by coupling SiBcrop with RAMS (the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System).

AB An aerosol-cloud modeling framework is described to simulate the activation of ice particles and droplets by biological aerosol particles, such as airborne ice-nucleation active (INA) bacteria. It includes the empirical parameterisation of heterogeneous ice nucleation and a semi-prognostic aerosol component, which have been incorporated into a cloud-system resolving model (CSRM) with double-moment bulk microphysics. The formation of cloud liquid by soluble material coated on these partially insoluble organic aerosols is represented. It determines their partial removal from deep convective clouds by accretion onto precipitation in the cloud model. This 'aerosol-cloud model' is validated for diverse cases of deep convection with contrasting aerosol conditions, against satellite, ground-based and aircraft observations.
Simulations are performed with the aerosol-cloud model for a month-long period of summertime convective activity over Oklahoma. It includes three cases of continental deep convection simulated previously by Phillips and Donner (2006). Elevated concentrations of insoluble organic aerosol, boosted by a factor of 100 beyond their usual values for this continental region, are found to influence significantly the following quantities: (1) the average numbers and sizes of ice crystals and droplets in the clouds; (2) the horizontal cloud coverage in the free troposphere; (3) precipitation at the ground; and (4) incident solar insolation at the surface. This factor of 100 is plausible for natural fluctuations of the concentration of insoluble organic aerosol, in view of variability of cell concentrations for airborne bacteria seen by Lindemann et al. (1982).
In nature, such boosting of the insoluble organic aerosol loading could arise from enhanced emissions of biological aerosol particles from a land surface. Surface wetness and solar insolation at the ground are meteorological quantities known to influence rates of growth of certain biological particles (e.g. bacteria). Their rates of emission into the atmosphere must depend on these same quantities, in addition to surface wind speed, turbulence and convection. Finally, the present study is the first attempt at evaluating the impacts from biological aerosols on mesoscale cloud ensembles in the literature.

AB Recent studies have demonstrated direct methane emission from plant foliage under aerobic conditions, particularly under high ultraviolet (UV) irradiance. We examined the potential importance of this phenomenon in a high-elevation conifer forest using micrometeorological techniques. Vertical profiles of methane and carbon dioxide in forest air were monitored every 2 h for 6 weeks in summer 2007. Day to day variability in above-canopy CH4 was high, with observed values in the range 1790 to 1910 nmol mol(-1). High CH4 was correlated with high carbon monoxide and related to wind direction, consistent with pollutant transport from an urban area by a well-studied mountain-plain wind system. Soils were moderately dry during the study. Vertical gradients of CH4 were small but detectable day and night, both near the ground and within the vegetation canopy. Gradients near the ground were consistent with the forest soil being a net CH4 sink. Using scalar similarity with CO2, the magnitude of the summer soil CH4 sink was estimated at similar to 1.7 mg CH4 m(-2) h(-1), which is similar to other temperate forest upland soils. The high-elevation forest was naturally exposed to high UV irradiance under clear sky conditions, with observed peak UVB irradiance > 2 W m(-2). Gradients and means of CO2 within the canopy under daytime conditions showed net uptake of CO2 due to photosynthetic drawdown as expected. No evidence was found for a significant foliar CH4 source in the vegetation canopy, even under high UV conditions. While the possibility of a weak foliar source cannot be excluded given the observed soil sink, overall this subalpine forest was a net sink for atmospheric methane during the growing season.

AB Here we present monthly, basin-wide maps of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) for the North Atlantic on a 1 degrees latitude by 1 degrees longitude grid for years 2004 through 2006 inclusive. The maps have been computed using a neural network technique which reconstructs the non-linear relationships between three biogeochemical parameters and marine pCO(2). A self organizing map (SOM) neural network has been trained using 389 000 triplets of the SeaWiFS-MODIS chlorophyll-a concentration, the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis sea surface temperature, and the FOAM mixed layer depth. The trained SOM was labelled with 137 000 under-way pCO(2) measurements collected in situ during 2004, 2005 and 2006 in the North Atlantic, spanning the range of 208 to 437 mu atm. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the neural network fit to the data is 11.6 mu atm, which equals to just above 3 percent of an average pCO(2) value in the in situ dataset. The seasonal pCO(2) cycle as well as estimates of the interannual variability in the major biogeochemical provinces are presented and discussed. High resolution combined with basin-wide coverage makes the maps a useful tool for several applications such as the monitoring of basin-wide air-sea CO2 fluxes or improvement of seasonal and interannual marine CO2 cycles in future model predictions. The method itself is a valuable alternative to traditional statistical modelling techniques used in geosciences.

AB Inclusion of fundamental ecological interactions between carbon and nitrogen cycles in the land component of an atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) leads to decreased carbon uptake associated with CO2 fertilization, and increased carbon uptake associated with warming of the climate system. The balance of these two opposing effects is to reduce the fraction of anthropogenic CO2 predicted to be sequestered in land ecosystems. The primary mechanism responsible for increased land carbon storage under radiatively forced climate change is shown to be fertilization of plant growth by increased mineralization of nitrogen directly associated with increased decomposition of soil organic matter under a warming climate, which in this particular model results in a negative gain for the climate-carbon feedback. Estimates for the land and ocean sink fractions of recent anthropogenic emissions are individually within the range of observational estimates, but the combined land plus ocean sink fractions produce an airborne fraction which is too high compared to observations. This bias is likely due in part to an underestimation of the ocean sink fraction. Our results show a significant growth in the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the coming century, attributable in part to a steady decline in the ocean sink fraction. Comparison to experimental studies on the fate of radio-labeled nitrogen tracers in temperate forests indicates that the model representation of competition between plants and microbes for new mineral nitrogen resources is reasonable. Our results suggest a weaker dependence of net land carbon flux on soil moisture changes in tropical regions, and a stronger positive growth response to warming in those regions, than predicted by a similar AOGCM implemented without land carbon-nitrogen interactions. We expect that the between-model uncertainty in predictions of future atmospheric CO2 concentration and associated anthropogenic climate change will be reduced as additional climate models introduce carbon-nitrogen cycle interactions in their land components.

AB The late stage of the North East Atlantic (NEA) spring bloom was investigated during June 2005 along a transect section from 45 to 66 degrees N between 15 and 20 degrees W in order to characterize the contribution of siliceous and calcareous phytoplankton groups and describe their distribution in relation to environmental factors. We measured several biogeochemical parameters such as nutrients, surface trace metals, algal pigments, biogenic silica (BSi), particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) or calcium carbonate, particulate organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (POC, PON and POP, respectively), as well as transparent exopolymer particles (TEP). Results were compared with other studies undertaken in this area since the JGOFS NABE program. Characteristics of the spring bloom generally agreed well with the accepted scenario for the development of the autotrophic community. The NEA seasonal diatom bloom was in the late stages when we sampled the area and diatoms were constrained to the northern part of our transect, over the Icelandic Basin (IB) and Icelandic Shelf (IS). Coccolithophores dominated the phytoplankton community, with a large distribution over the Rockall-Hatton Plateau (RHP) and IB. The Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP) region at the southern end of our transect was the region with the lowest biomass, as demonstrated by very low Chla concentrations and a community dominated by picophytoplankton. Early depletion of dissolved silicic acid (DSi) and increased stratification of the surface layer most likely triggered the end of the diatom bloom, leading to coccolithophore dominance. The chronic Si deficiency observed in the NEA could be linked to moderate Fe limitation, which increases the efficiency of the Si pump. TEP closely mirrored the distribution of both biogenic silica at depth and prymnesiophytes in the surface layer suggesting the sedimentation of the diatom bloom in the form of aggregates, but the relative contribution of diatoms and coccolithophores to carbon export in this area still needs to be resolved.

AB We evaluated mortality associated with hemolymph extraction of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% of estimated hemolymph volume among low-stress and high-stress groups of horseshoe crabs. In addition to bleeding, the high-stress group underwent simulated transport and handling procedures associated with the biomedical industry's bleeding process. Mortality rates of the unbled animals were not significantly different between the stressed and unstressed groups. Of the bled animals, there was a significantly higher mortality rate (8.3%) in the stressed group when compared to the unstressed group (0%), suggesting a possible synergistic effect between hemolymph extraction and external stressors. Within the stressed group, mortality was significantly associated with bleeding (P = 0.009). Within the stressed group, mortality was significantly associated with the amount of blood withdrawn (P = 0.009). Mortality rate ranged from 0 to 29.4% over the range of 10-40% hemolymph volume withdrawn. Insight was provided into the possible synergistic effect of blood extraction and external stressors associated with biomedical transport and holding methods on horseshoe crab mortality. Future strategies to reduce horseshoe crab mortality associated with biomedical bleeding must not only take into consideration the effects of bleeding but also the physiological stressors attributable to harvest, transport, and holding conditions.

AB This chapter is designed as a perspective piece, using personal opinions to further the discussion about horseshoe crab management, a relatively new topic. I argue that horseshoe crab management and the science that management supports has been one-dimensional, focused almost exclusively on the commercial harvest. Fortunately, we can use lessons learned from fisheries management over time to guide Lis and adapt these lessons specifically to horseshoe crab management. Progress will require the incorporation of concepts including precautionary management, integrated assessments, cumulative impacts, and ecosystem-based management as we move beyond resource conservation to sustainable resource utilization.

AB A panel of Five international experts was convened during the International Symposium on the Science and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs to compare and contrast horseshoe crab management in their countries. The panel members each responded to a series of questions prepared by a facilitator. All five speakers stated that habitat degradation and destruction were a major threat to the horseshoe crab population(s) in their country. Pressure For economic development often hindered efforts to preserve and protect coastal habitats. Public education was viewed as an important step toward the implementation of effective management actions. The urgent need for conservation was viewed to be a strong, motivating factor to strengthen international management efforts.

AB Our understanding of the spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias of the northeastern Pacific is based almost exclusively on nearshore populations from enclosed regions (e.g., Strait of Georgia, Hecate Strait, and Puget Sound), with little attention given to more offshore Populations along the open coast. Our purpose here was to characterize the summer distribution and diet of dogfish off the Washington and Oregon coasts by means of two fishery surveys: the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) triennial shelf groundfish survey, 1977-2004, and the NMFS/Oregon State University juvenile salmon survey, 1998-2002. Dogfish catches were patchy throughout the entire period and showed a broad distributional range along the Washington and Oregon coasts. The highest abundances occurred in shallow waters (55-184 m) off the northern Washington and central Oregon coasts. Around the Columbia River plume, dogfish catch per unit of effort was significantly related to salinity and surface temperature patterns, but not to chlorophyll concentrations. Dogfish consumed a variety of prey, including both pelagic and benthic taxa, and with increasing size exhibited a shift in their diet to more fish and larger prey overall.

AB Data from research surveys conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Alaska Fisheries Science Center and the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) were examined along with catch data from NMFS's North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program to determine the distribution, abundance, and status of spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias in Alaska. Dogfish are present in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Aleutian Islands but survey and observer data indicate they are most abundant in the central and eastern Gulf of Alaska in waters less than 200 m deep. All data sources indicate that dogfish have increased in abundance in the Gulf of Alaska in recent years. Log-transformed catch per unit effort (CPUE) of dogfish calculated from the NMFS trawl survey data ranged from 0.47 sharks/km(2) in 1984 to 0.91 sharks/km(2) in 2007, with a peak of 1.17 sharks/km(2) in 2003. Log-transformed CPUE of spiny dogfish calculated from the NMFS longline survey data ranged from 0.041 sharks/100 hooks in 1979 to 0.16 sharks/100 hooks in 2007, with peaks in abundance of 0.23 sharks/100 hooks in 1983 and 1998. Log-transformed CPUE of dogfish calculated from the IPHC annual longline survey data showed a similar trend and ranged from 0.84 sharks/100 hooks in 1997 to 1.18 sharks/100 hooks in 2006, with a peak value of 1.38 sharks/100 hooks in 2003. Estimates of the incidental catch of dogfish by Alaska fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska calculated from NMFS observer data from 1990 to 2007 were variable and ranged from 140 to 865 metric tons (mt), with peak values of over 650 mt in years 1998, 1999, 2006, and 2007. Dogfish are currently managed as a member of the "other species" complex by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council in Alaska waters. The increasing abundance of this species in the Gulf of Alaska in recent years and the increasing probability of a fishery developing may necessitate a species-specific management strategy for dogfish in Alaska waters.

AB Following intense harvests by distant-water fleets before 1975, populations of spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias in the Northwest Atlantic increased steadily in abundance during the mid-1970s and 1980s. Peak abundance in the early 1990s was short-lived as the United States commercial fleet began a large-scale fishery on mature female dogfish. Between 1989 and 1999, approximately 250,000 metric tons of female spawning stock was removed, reducing the stock to about 30% of B(MSY) levels. Abundance of male dogfish, however, was relatively unaffected by the fishery. Tie average size of mature female dogfish declined by more than 10 cm and the average length of juveniles declined as well. Recruitment during 1997 to 2003 was the lowest in the 1968-2006 time series. Recruitment in 2006 was low despite a very high catch rate of mature females in the spring survey by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center. The ratio of mature male to females increased from about 2:1 prior to the directed fishery to about 7: 1 by 2001.
Under federal fisheries management, the rebuilding plan eliminated the directed fishery and has allowed a limited, bycatch-only fishery. Efforts to rebuild populations are complicated by (a) the residual abundance of males and immature females; (b) concerns about ecosystem function; (c) high rates of discarding; and d) an apparent shift in spiny dogfish distribution from offshore to inshore areas during the past 5 years. Projection models suggest that recovery of dogfish poses significant management challenges owing to the current non-equilibrium size and sex composition of the stock, transient effects of a 7-year string of low recruitment, slow growth, and the difficulties of implementing an appropriately selective fishery.

AB Both juvenile and adult anadromous lampreys encounter a variety of obstacles to passage during migration. Hydropower dams can delay or obstruct adults, and turbine entrainment or screen impingement can injure or kill juveniles. Lampreys also face less dramatic obstacles such as culverts, irrigation diversion darns and screens, weirs, and other low-elevation structures. The extent to which most structures affect juvenile and adult movements is not known. However, recent research on lamprey swimming performance and migration behavior has provided new insight into the physical and performance factors that may limit lamprey movements. We drew from both field and laboratory studies to review lamprey swimming performance and migration behavior and the effects of water velocity, attachment sites, light, and temperature on lamprey movements. Based on this review, we identified the following as primary research needs for all lamprey life stages: determination of cues lampreys use to orient during migration, documentation of lamprey endurance limits, and evaluation of energy expenditure during migration and its effects on lamprey fitness.

AB Nucleotide sequences from the hypervariable mitochondrial control region were used to investigate phylogeographic structuring in the marlinsucker, Remora osteochir (Cuvier, 1829). Complete DNA sequences were isolated from 71 individuals collected from seven geographically distant sample locations (5 Atlantic and 2 Pacific). Analyses of molecular variance (AMOVA) and Phi st resolved significant levels of population structuring among collections from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, whereas negligible levels of population structuring were resolved among collections from within the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Cluster analysis of haplotypes based upon inter-haplotype divergences resolved two distinct evolutionary lineages, one composed of haplotypes that only occurred in the Atlantic, and one composed of haplotypes that occurred in both Atlantic and Pacific samples. Observations are consistent with vicariant isolation of Atlantic and Pacific marlinsucker, followed by geologically recent secondary colonization of the Atlantic from the Indian Ocean. Congruence between patterns of genetic differentiation between marlinsucker and their istiophorid hosts, particularly blue marlin, Makaira nigricans Lacepede, 1802, and sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus (Shaw, 1792), highlights the possibility that this symbiont's phylogeography is ultimately governed by host dispersal.

AB Submersible video, supplemented with sonar surveys, was analyzed for habitat characteristics and variation of fish assemblages in shelf-edge and upper-slope reefs within proposed marine protected areas off the southeastern United States. Distinct fish assemblages were found between shelf-edge and upper-slope dive locations. Shelf-edge reefs were further categorized into morphology types, which were empirically defined based on rock shape and the amount of relief present. Variation in fish density was contrasted among the six reef morphology types observed: slab pavement, blocked boulders, buried blocked boulders, low-relief bioeroded rock, moderate-relief bioeroded rock, and high-relief bioeroded rock. High-relief bioeroded rock was the most densely populated reef morphology type when compared to all others. Four species had significantly varying densities on different reef morphology types, with three species having higher densities on structurally complex morphologies when compared to low-relief morphologies. Several other species also had significantly varying densities among different shelf-edge dive locations, with dive locations containing complex reef morphology types (high-relief bioeroded rock and blocked boulders) being more densely populated than dive locations containing low-relief morphology types. Reproductive behavior was incidentally observed for five commercially-important fish species at all dive locations. This study provides information on factors relevant to the placement of marine protected areas (MPAs), including reef morphology descriptions, areas of high fish density and diversity, and important spawning habitat locations. Our data also provide a habitat-specific baseline for monitoring the effects of MPAs on fish assemblages in the South Atlantic Bight (SAB).

AB Genetic population structure of Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, was examined across much of its northeastern Pacific range by screening variation at 11 microsatellite DNA loci. Estimates of F(ST) (0.005 +/- 0.002) and R(ST) (0.010 +/- 0.003) over all samples suggested that effective dispersal is limited among populations. Genetic divergence was highly correlated with geographic distance in an isolation-by-distance (IBD) pattern along the entire coastal continuum in the northeastern Pacific Ocean (similar to 4000 km; r(2) = 0.83), extending from Washington State to the Aleutian Islands, and over smaller geographic distances for three locations in Alaska (similar to 1700 km; r(2) = 0.56). Slopes of IBD regressions suggested average dispersal distance between birth and reproduction of less than 30 km. Exceptions to this pattern were found in samples taken from fjord environments in the Georgia Basin (the Strait of Georgia (Canada) and Puget Sound (USA)), where populations were differentiated from coastal cod. Our results showed population structure at spatial scales relevant to fisheries management, both caused by limited dispersal along the coast and by sharp barriers to migration isolating smaller stocks in coastal fjord environments.

AB We present two-color modulation transfer spectroscopy as a tool for precision studies of atomic properties of excited states. The bi-colored technique addresses a narrow set of velocity groups of a thermal atomic vapour using a two-step transition to "burn a hole" in the velocity distribution. The resulting spectrum presents sub-Doppler linewidths, good signal-to-noise ratio and the trademark sidebands that work as an in situ ruler for the energy spacing between atomic resonances. The spectra obtained can be used for different applications such as measurements of energy splittings or stabilization of laser frequencies to excited atomic transitions.

AB The oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2 changes the seawater chemistry and potentially can alter biological systems in the upper oceans. Estimates of future atmospheric and oceanic CO2 concentrations, based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission scenarios, indicate that atmospheric CO2 levels could approach 800 ppm by the end of the century. Corresponding models for the oceans indicate that surface water pH would decrease by approximately 0.4 pH units, and the carbonate ion concentration would decrease by as much as 48% by the end of the century. The surface ocean pH would be lower than it has been for more than 20 million years. Such changes would significantly lower the ocean's buffering capacity, which would reduce its ability to accept more CO2 from the atmosphere. Recent field and laboratory studies reveal that the carbonate chemistry of seawater has a profound impact on the calcification rates of individual species and communities in both planktonic and benthic habitats. The calcification rates of nearly all calcifying organisms studied to date decrease in response to decreased carbonate ion concentration. In general, when pCO(2) was increased to twice preindustrial levels, a decrease in the calcification rate ranging from about -5% to -60% was observed. Unless calcifying organisms can adapt to projected changes in seawater chemistry, there will likely be profound changes in the structure of pelagic and benthic marine ecosystems.

TI Chemical contamination in southwest Puerto Rico: A survey of
contaminants in the coral Porites astreoides
SO CARIBBEAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
LA English
DT Article
AB Coral (Porites astreoides) from eight sites in southwest Puerto Rico were analyzed for approximately 150 chemical contaminants, to provide a preliminary characterization of environmental contamination in the corals, and assess the relationships between chemical contamination in corals and adjacent sediments. Overall, the concentration of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) detected in the limited number of coral samples collected were comparable to concentrations found in sediments. However, the concentration of a chemical contaminant (e.g., PAHs) in the corals at a site was often different from what was found in adjacent sediments. The level of PCBs and DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in the corals appeared higher just outside of Guanica Bay, and there was some evidence of a downstream concentration gradient for these two contaminant classes. The trace elements copper and zinc were frequently detected in Porites astreoides, and the concentrations were usually comparable to those found in adjacent sediments. Chromium was an exception in that it was not detected in any of the coral samples analyzed, although it was detected in all of the sediment samples.

AB Few studies have quantified the extent of nocturnal cross-habitat movements for fish, or the influence of habitat adjacencies on nutrient flows and trophodynamics. To investigate the patterns of nocturnal cross-boundary movements of fish and quantify trophic connectivity, fish were sampled at night with gillnets set along the boundaries between dominant habitat types (coral reef/seagrass and mangrove/seagrass) in southwestern Puerto Rico. Fish movement across adjacent boundary patches were equivalent at both coral reefs and mangroves. Prey biomass transfer was greater from seagrass to coral reefs (0.016 kg/km) and from mangroves to seagrass (0.006 kg/km) but not statistically significant, indicating a balance of flow between adjacent habitats. Pelagic species (jacks, sharks, rays) accounted for 37% of prey biomass transport at coral reef/seagrass and 46% at mangrove/seagrass while grunts and snappers accounted for 7% and 15%, respectively. This study indicated that coral reefs and mangroves serve as a feeding area for a wide range of multi-habitat fish species. Crabs were the most frequent prey item in fish leaving coral reefs while molluscs were observed slightly more frequently than crabs in fish entering coral reefs. For most prey types, biomass exported from mangroves was greater than biomass imported. The information on direction of fish movement together with analysis of prey data provided strong evidence of ecological linkages between distinct adjacent habitat types and highlighted the need for greater inclusion of a mosaic of multiple habitats when attempting to understand ecosystem function including the spatial transfer of energy across the seascape.

TI Movement of fishes (Grunts: Haemulidae) across the coral reef seascape:
A review of scales, patterns and processes
SO CARIBBEAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE
LA English
DT Review
DE Grunts; Haemulon; migration; connectivity; coral reef ecosystems
AB Reef fish movements over short and long time frames have important consequences for identifying essential fish habitat, quantifying ecological flows across the seascape and designing marine reserves. We use grunts (Haemulidae) as a representative model group for quantifying movement in terms of distances, time scales, temporal patterns, habitat associations and controls. Here, we provide a review based on recent studies and our own experience. The ritualized, twilight feeding migrations of grunts represent an important mechanism for transferring nutrients and organic matter across habitat boundaries, with movements on the order of 100-300 m. Both compass orientation and vision are used for navigation during feeding migrations. Feeding movements of adults are less ritualized in both space and time and typically occur on the same scale of distance as juveniles, although longer excursions have been documented. Ontogenetic migrations occur over years and take the form of discrete habitat shifts, with most individuals moving progressively offshore. Distances and pathways followed by fish will depend on the exact width of the shelf and distribution of suitable habitats. Transplant experiments suggest there are significant barriers to fish migration, and migration corridors, especially reef margins, seem to be important in determining the direction of ontogenetic habitat shifts, but these may be disrupted by environmental perturbations. Theoretical considerations relative to barrier perception and growth-survival trade-offs appear to explain normal movements of grunts and their responses to environmental perturbations, but lack of information on how fish may sense new locations at distance prevents the full use of theory to generate rules of migration covering timing, distance and direction.

synthesizing fisheries and ecological data

DE Carribean; ecosystem model; Ecopath with Ecosim; fisheries impact;
predator-prey
AB La Parguera, Puerto Rico, a well-studied Caribbean reef system, is showing signs of overfishing and thus, is a good candidate to evaluate fishery policy scenarios using ecosystem modeling. The first steps taken to build a plausible ecosystem model of the La Parguera reef system using Ecopath with Ecosim software included synthesizing fisheries and ecological data then balancing and analyzing trophic relationships for the year 2000. The model is centered around species of commercial and ecological importance in the ecosystem, grouped by habitat preferences. Model construction identified gaps in available data (e.g., diet compositions, metrics of fishing effort, incomplete landings) and balancing raised interesting ecological questions. Some groups, such as parrotfish are so underutilized as prey that the accuracy of biomass estimates and our understanding of predator-prey relationships are questioned. Apparent shortcomings in estimates of primary production relative to consumer biomass generated questions of whether estimates are inaccurate or whether the system is highly subsidized by importation from outside ecosystem boundaries. Although details are not directly comparable because of different structures, a similar Carribean model built for the 1970-1980s estimated total biomass 5.6 times higher than the present model. Changes of this magnitude, if found to be accurate, point out the need for further study of the roles fishing and environmental change have played in reshaping this system over the last 30-40 years. This modeling effort defined future data needs, generated hypotheses for further coral reef research, and provided a starting point towards evaluation of fishery management scenarios in an ecosystem context.

AB The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument (VICR), a marine protected area in St John, US Virgin Islands. Surveys of habitat and fishes inside and outside of VICR were conducted in 2003-2008. Areas outside the VICR had significantly more scleractinian corals, greater habitat complexity and greater species richness and density of reef fishes than areas inside., Areas inside and outside the VICR exhibited significant decreases in percent scleractinian coral coverage over the study period. A contrasting trend of increasing macroalgal cover was also observed. No clear effect of the severe 2005 coral bleaching event was observed suggesting other causal factors. No obvious trends in the fish community were observed across the study period. The significant decline in habitat condition, coupled with the initial incorporation of some of the more degraded reefs into the marine protected area may result in a longer time period necessary to detect positive changes in the St. John coral reef ecosystem and associated reef fish abundance and community structure.

AB The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global lookup service for network resources. It is often the first step in an Internet transaction as well as a network attack since it provides the route map for reaching any resource (e.g., hosts) in any organization irrespective of its geographical and network location. An attacker can query an organization's DNS as reconnaissance before attacking hosts on a particular network. To minimize the chances of these attacks succeeding, the administrator of an organization's DNS (called the zone administrator), has various counter measures options in the form of content control, configuration, protocols, operational and infrastructure protection methods. In this paper, we analyze these and discuss their effectiveness and limitations.

AB We present an evaluation methodology for comparison of existing and proposed new algorithms for Border Gate-way Protocol (BGP) anomaly detection and robustness. A variety of algorithms and alert tools have been proposed and/or prototyped recently. They differ in the anomaly situations which they attempt to alert or mitigate, and also in the types of data then use. Some are based on registry data from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and Internet Routing Registries (IRRs) - an example is the Nemecis tool. Others such as the Prefix Hijack Alert System (PHAS) and the Pretty Good BGP (PGBGP) are driven by BGP trace data. The trace data is obtained from Reseaux Internet Protocol Europeens - Routing Information Service (RIPE-RIS). Routeviews, or a BGP speaker where the algorithm operates. We propose a new algorithm that combines the use of both registry and trace data, and also makes some key improvements over costing algorithms. We have built an evaluation platform called TERRAIN (Testing and Evaluation of Routing Robustness in Assurable Inter-domain Networking) on which these algorithms cart be tested and empirically compared based on real and/or synthetic anomalies in BGP messages. We will present a variety of results providing interesting insights into the comparative utility and performance of the various BGP robustness algorithms.

AB Age and growth of spiny icefish (Chaenodraco wilsoni) were investigated using counts of annual growth increments from sagittal otoliths. Samples were collected during research surveys by benthic trawl carried out off joinville-D'Urville Islands (Antarctic Peninsula) in February-March 2006 and January 2007. A total of 218 specimens were selected for the study, consisting of 120 females and 98 males. The age of fish was estimated by counting annuli on transverse sections obtained by grinding and polishing whole otoliths embedded in epoxy resin in moulds. The precision of age estimates between readings was tested applying both the average percent error (APE) and the coefficient of variation (CV). Conversely, the accuracy of age estimates was not tested, so that present ageing data have to be considered with caution.
The estimated age range was 1-5 years for males and 1-4 years for females of C. wilsoni. Applying the von Bertalanffy (VB) growth function to the age-length data, a growth curve was obtained for each sex. The estimated values of VB growth parameters L(infinity) (cm) and k were respectively 32.7 and 0.81 for females and 32.7 and 0.68 for males. Age-at-sexual maturity was estimated to be about 2 years for females and 2.5 years for males. Like other icefishes, C. wilsoni exhibited a high growth rate until it reached sexual maturity although it had a much shorter life span. The part of the population Of C. wilsoni caught in the study area consisted mainly of adult individuals between 1 and 3 years of age, with very few older fish.

AB Penguin censuses on the Antarctic Peninsula are often subject to logistical challenges that preclude nest counts being conducted at the peak of egg laying. Additionally, the historical literature includes many census counts with non-standard timing. The challenge is, therefore, to correct 'off-peak' census counts to make them comparable with current standard methods. Census correction involves knowing (i) how the census is timed relative to the peak of egg laying, and (ii) how nest numbers change through the breeding cycle. In this paper the authors present an analysis relating to both these challenges. Clutch initiation dates for four penguin breeding sites are examined (Cape Shirreff, Admiralty Bay, Humble Island and Petermann Island) in relation to potential drivers of clutch initiation (e.g. temperature, precipitation, sea-ice etc.). It is found that mean October temperatures constitute the most consistent significant factor related to the timing of clutch initiation in all three of the penguin species examined (Adelie (Pygoscelis adeliae), gentoo (P. papua) and chinstrap (P. antarctica)). A statistical model for determining the peak of clutch initiation is presented and, along with a simple estimation of species-specific nest attrition rates, is used to illustrate the procedure for correcting off-peak census counts.

AB Understanding estuarine and early marine ecology of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts within the relatively large and spatially dynamic environments of eastern Maine is challenging. Using ultrasonic transmitters and a large network of fixed receivers, we monitored natural smolt migration in the Narraguagus River, Narraguagus Bay, and coastal environment of the western Gulf of Maine. Our 30-km-long study area began in the lower river and extended 8 km downstream to head-of-tide, 7 km through the estuary, then fanned Out seaward 15 km into the western gulf along the interface with Maine Coastal Current. From 1997 to 2004, we increased sampling network density in the estuary and expanded marine arrays further into the Gulf of Maine. We designed receiver networks to monitor A smolt exit routes and were able to (1) estimate smolt survival to the Gulf of Maine, (2) map primary migration paths, and (3) document emigration timing. Survival ranged from 36% to 47% to our outer receiver array. Median migration rates were 0.7 km/h in the estuary to middle bay and 1.0 km/h in the outer bay. Smolts generally traveled with the tides and upon entering saltwater most commonly used the western 6 km of a 23-km-wide embayment. These are among the first quantitative data to estimate survival during early marine migration of wild Atlantic salmon smolts. A Cormack-Jolly-Seber model estimated site efficiency and smolt survival simultaneously, providing a useful methodology and information benchmarks for other studies to better understand emigration dynamics and to help identify mortality factors at sea.
