TI Thermochemistry of Ammonium Nitrate, NH4NO3, in the Gas Phase

WATER; INVERSION; COMPLEX; TABLES
AB Hildenbrand and co-workers have shown recently that the vapor above solid ammonium nitrate includes molecules of NH4NO3, not only NH3 and HNO3 as previously believed. Their measurements led to thermochemical values that imply an enthalpy change of D-298 = 98 +/- 9 kJ mol(-1) for the gas-phase dissociation of ammonium nitrate into NH3 and HNO3. Using updated spectroscopic information for the partition function leads to the revised value of D-298 = 78 +/- 21 kJ mol(-1) (accompanying paper in this journal, Hildenbrand, D. L.; Lau, K. H.; Chandra, D. J. Phys. Chem. B 2010, DOI: 10.1021/jp105773q). In contrast, high-level ab initio calculations, detailed in the present report, predict a dissociation enthalpy half as large as the original result, 50 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1). These are frozen-core CCSD(T) calculations extrapolated to the limiting basis set aug-cc-pV infinity Z using an anharmonic vibrational partition function and a variational treatment of the NH3 rotor. The corresponding enthalpy of formation is Delta H-f(298)o(NH4NO3,g) = 230.6 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1). The origin of the disagreement with experiment remains unexplained.

TI Randomized benchmarking of atomic qubits in an optical lattice
SO NEW JOURNAL OF PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
AB We perform randomized benchmarking on neutral atomic quantum bits (qubits) confined in an optical lattice. Single-qubit gates are implemented using microwaves, resulting in a measured error per randomized computational gate of 1.4(1) x 10(-4) that is dominated by the system T(2) relaxation time. The results demonstrate the robustness of the system and its viability for more advanced quantum information protocols.

AB Optical two-dimensional Fourier-transform (2DFT)spectroscopy is used to study the coherent optical response of potassium vapor in a thin transmission cell. Rephasing and nonrephasing spectra of the D-1 and D-2 transitions are obtained and compared to numerical simulations. Non-perturbative calculations using the optical Bloch equations give very good agreement with the experimental peak strengths and line shapes. Nonradiative Raman-like coherences are isolated using a different 2DFT projection. Comparison between the optical and Raman linewidths shows that dephasing is due to partially correlated energy fluctuations. Density-dependent measurements show distortion of 2DFT spectra due to pulse propagation effects.

AB Atmospheric climate models are subjected to the observed sea ice conditions during 2007 to estimate the regionality, seasonality, and vertical pattern of temperature responses to recent Arctic sea ice loss. It is shown that anomalous sea ice conditions accounted for virtually all of the estimated Arctic amplification in surface-based warming over the Arctic Ocean, and furthermore they accounted for a large fraction of Arctic amplification occurring over the high-latitude land between 60 degrees N and the Arctic Ocean. Sea ice loss did not appreciably contribute to observed 2007 land temperature warmth equatorward of 60 degrees N. Likewise, the observed warming of the free atmosphere attributable to sea ice loss is confined to Arctic latitudes, and is vertically confined to the lowest 1000 m. The results further highlight a strong seasonality of the temperature response to the 2007 sea ice loss. A weak signal of Arctic amplification in surface based warming is found during boreal summer, whereas a dramatically stronger signal is shown to develop during early autumn that persisted through December even as sea ice coverage approached its climatological values in response to the polar night.

AB A global high-resolution (similar to 40 km) atmospheric general circulation model (ECHAM5 T319) is used to investigate the change of tropical cyclone frequency in the North Pacific under global warming. A time slice method is used in which sea surface temperature fields derived from a lower-resolution coupled model run under the 20C3M (in which historical greenhouse gases in 20th century were prescribed as a radiative forcing) and A1B (in which carbon dioxide concentration was increased 1% each year from 2000 to 2070 and then was kept constant) scenarios are specified as the lower boundary conditions to simulate the current and the future warming climate, respectively. A significant shift is found in the location of tropical cyclones from the western to central Pacific. The shift to more tropical cyclones in the central and less in the western Pacific is not attributable to a change in atmospheric static stability, but to a change in the variance of tropical synoptic-scale perturbations associated with a change in the background vertical wind shear and boundary layer divergence.

AB We demonstrate the first use of marine mammal dive-depth data to improve maps of bathymetry in poorly sampled regions of the continental shelf. A group of 57 instrumented elephant seals made on the order of 2 x 10(5) dives over and near the continental shelf on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula during five seasons, 2005-2009. Maximum dive depth exceeded 2000 m. For dives made near existing ship tracks with measured water depths H<700 m, similar to 30% of dive depths were to the seabed, consistent with expected benthic foraging behavior. By identifying the deepest of multiple dives within small areas as a dive to the seabed, we have developed a map of seal-derived bathymetry. Our map fills in several regions for which trackline data are sparse, significantly improving delineation of troughs crossing the continental shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea.

AB Emission of bromine from sea-salt aerosol, frost flowers, ice leads, and snow results in the nearly complete removal of surface ozone during Arctic spring. Regions of enhanced total column BrO observed by satellites have traditionally been associated with these emissions. However, airborne measurements of BrO and O-3 within the convective boundary layer (CBL) during the ARCTAS and ARCPAC field campaigns at times bear little relation to enhanced column BrO. We show that the locations of numerous satellite BrO "hotspots" during Arctic spring are consistent with observations of total column ozone and tropopause height, suggesting a stratospheric origin to these regions of elevated BrO. Tropospheric enhancements of BrO large enough to affect the column abundance are also observed, with important contributions originating from above the CBL. Closure of the budget for total column BrO, albeit with significant uncertainty, is achieved by summing observed tropospheric partial columns with calculated stratospheric partial columns provided that natural, short-lived biogenic bromocarbons supply between 5 and 10 ppt of bromine to the Arctic lowermost stratosphere. Proper understanding of bromine and its effects on atmospheric composition requires accurate treatment of geographic variations in column BrO originating from both the stratosphere and troposphere.

AB Using current noise measurement techniques, the authors have studied the effects of electron beam exposure on field effect transistors based on carbon nanotube channels. In the case of p-type semiconducting nanotubes, the authors find that high doses induce a potential barrier along the channel, and transport is dominated by the tunneling events across this barrier. The authors suggest that the barrier is induced by charges trapped in the underlying SiO(2) barrier. Complementary studies on metallic nanotubes do not exhibit this behavior.

AB Multiscale resolution imaging and manipulation are essential for applications ranging from defect screening in circuits to nanoscale manipulation, patterning, and lithography. In this paper, we introduce a variant of scanning thermal microscopy to image surfaces at both the micro-and nanoscale. Electrothermal imaging at the microscale is performed in a completely out-of-contact, i.e., "noncontact" or "off-contact," mode with a microscale heater, followed by higher resolution nanoscale imaging in contact mode with a nanoscale probe tip. Using this methodology, the imaging and manipulation functions of a single probe can be decoupled completely. This off-contact imaging mode is useful for avoiding tip wear and can be performed safely at high velocities. We demonstrate imaging of microscale features at speeds of up to 2 mm/s. The lateral resolution is determined by the dimensions of the heater used for imaging. For the flying heights and heater dimensions used here, the 1-sigma lateral spatial resolution limit in the off-contact mode is less than 10 mu m for 10-nm-tall features. A silicon nanowire attached to microscale electrodes is imaged to demonstrate the efficacy of this scheme.

TI Using CFD Capabilities of CONTAM 3.0 for Simulating Airflow and
Contaminant Transport in and around Buildings
SO HVAC&R RESEARCH
LA English
DT Article
ID COMPUTATIONAL FLUID-DYNAMICS; MULTIZONE; MODELS
AB CONTAM is a multizone building airflow and contaminant transport computer program often used for ventilation and indoor air quality analysis. The program was recently enhanced to incorporate CFD capabilities for both outdoor and indoor environmental analysis. This paper introduces the CFD features implemented within the most recent version, CONTAM 3.0. The outdoor or external CFD link predicts wind pressure coefficients and contaminant concentrations for airflow paths at the building surface. A converter computer program translates the wind pressure coefficients to the CONTAM data format. This external CFD link is useful for parametric studies of the impact of outdoor air quality on indoor environment when considering different wind directions or contaminant locations, especially simulations under transient conditions. The ability to embed a single CFD zone in a CONTAM network model has also been implemented. This enables the detailed modeling of a zone when the well-mixed multizone assumption is not appropriate and then uses the multizone approach for the rest of a building, thus capturing the local distribution of air and contaminant properties in a zone and their impacts on other zones of a building. CFD capabilities are demonstrated using a generic residential house model to show how these two new CFD features enhance the existing CONTAM capabilities for both indoor and outdoor air quality analysis.

AB We report the use of a gradient library approach to characterize the structure and behavior of thin films of a thermally responsive block copolymer (BCP) poly(styrene b-tert-butyl acrylate) (PS-b-PtBA) which exhibits chemical deprotection and morphological changes above a thermal threshold. Continuous gradients in temperature and film thickness, as well as discrete susbstrate chemistry conditions, were used to exam the trends in deprotection nanoscale morphology and chemical structure. Thermal gradient annealing permitted the extraction of transformation rate constants (k(i)) for the completion of thermal deprotection and rearrangement of the film morphology from a single BCP library on hydroxyl and alkyl surfaces, respectively. The transformation rate constants ranged from 1.45 x 10(-4) s(-1) to 5.02 x 10(-5) s(-1) for temperatures between 185 and 140 degrees C for hydroxyl surfaces. For the same temperature range, the alkly surfaces yielded k(i) values ranging from 4.76 x 10(-5) s(-1) to 5.73 x 10(-6) s(-1), an order of magnitude slower compared to hydroxyl surfaces. Activation energies of the thermal deprotection and film transformation on these surfaces were also extrapolated from linear fits to Arrhenius behavior. Moreover, we noted a morphology shift and orientation transformation from parallel lamellae to perpendicular cylinders at the free surface because of changes in volume fraction and surface energetics of the initially symmetric BCP. Using gradient techniques we are able to correlate morphological and chemical structure changes in a rapid fashion, determine kinetics of transitions and demonstrate the effect of surface chemistry on the deprotection reaction in thermally responsive BCP thin films,

AB Asymmetrical-flow field flow fractionation (AFFF) separates constituents based on hydrodynamic size and is emerging as a powerful tool for obtaining high-resolution information on the size, molecular weight, composition, and stability of nanoscale particles in liquid media. We employ a customized AFFF system combining on-line detectors for multi-angle light scattering, dynamic light scattering, and UV-Vis absorption. Our objective is to develop optimized measurement protocols for the characterization of gold nanoparticles (GNPs), which are widely utilized in biomedical research and other nanotechnology applications. Experimental conditions have been optimized by controlling key parameters, including injection volume and solids concentration, mobile phase composition, membrane type and pore size, and ratio of channel-to-cross-flow rates. Individual citrate-stabilized GNP components (nominally 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 nm) and GNPs functionalized with polyethylene glycol were separated from multicomponent GNP mixtures by AFFF and subsequently characterized.

AB Due to recent advances in passive acoustic monitoring techniques, beaked whales are now more effectively detected acoustically than visually during vessel-based (e.g. line-transect) surveys. Beaked whales signals can be discriminated from those of other cetaceans by the unique characteristics of their echolocation clicks (e.g. duration >175 mu s, center frequencies between 30 and 40 kHz, inter-click intervals between 0.2 and 0.4 s and frequency upsweeps). Furthermore, these same characteristics make these signals ideal candidates for testing automated detection and classification algorithms. There are several different beaked whale automated detectors currently available for use. However, no comparative analysis of detectors exists. Therefore, comparison between studies and datasets is difficult. The purpose of this study was to test, validate, and compare algorithms for detection of beaked whales in acoustic line-transect survey data. Six different detection algorithms (XBAT, Ishmael, PAMGUARD, ERMA, GMM and FMCD) were evaluated and compared. Detection trials were run on three sample days of towed-hydrophone array recordings collected by NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) during which were confirmed visual sightings of beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris and Mesoplodon peruvianus). Detections also were compared to human verified acoustic detections for a subset of these data. In order to measure the probabilities of false detection, each detector was also run on three sample recordings containing clicks from another species: Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus). Qualitative and quantitative comparisons and the detection performance of the different algorithms are discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS

AB By using ballistic hot-electron injection to achieve lateral conduction through an otherwise fully insulating undoped silicon channel, we are able to study magnetic field suppression of charge transport in a regime normally excluded in Ohmic magnetoresistance measurements. Exceptionally large magnetocurrent changes of >16 000% at 45 K in magnetic fields of approximate to 2 T are observed, with differential reduction of over 6.2 T-1. Temperature-, electrostatic back-gate-, and magnetic field angle-dependence are presented. This phenomenon is attributed to strong space-charge effects in the dilute three-dimensional electron gas created by nonequilibrium injection. (c) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

AB In this study, we apply temperature, precipitation, and other data from 66 Chinese meteorological stations including Xining and Lhasa to analyze the extreme climate events and their impacting factors over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the period 1961-2007 We focus on the spatial and temporal features of extreme climate events and their long-term changes over five climate zones of alpine grassland meadow and desert areas
Results show that, during the past decades, the changes in climate over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau present trends towards warm and wet conditions These changes in temperature and precipitation are evident in both seasonal means and extreme events, and the changes in precipitation are apparent in both precipitation amount and number of precipitation days Clearly, warm and wet events Increase, but cold and dry events decrease over the plateau region Features of the warming climate are relatively consistent in spatial and seasonal distributions, with the most significant changes in winter and autumn and at nighttime Northern Qinghai exhibits the greatest and most significant decrease in the frequency of extremely low-temperature events However, the wetting trend shows more distinctive spatial features and is more seasonally dependent While the trends in both precipitation amount and the number of precipitation days are positive in all climate zones for winter and spring, both positive and insignificant negative trends appear in summer and autumn The largest decrease in the frequency of severely dry events is found over southeastern Tibet and western Sichuan

AB During April 2008, as part of the International Polar Year (IPY), a number of ground-based and aircraft campaigns were carried out in the North American Arctic region (e.g., ARCTAS, ARCPAC). The widespread presence during this period of biomass burning effluent, both gaseous and particulate, has been reported. Unusually high ozone readings for this time of year were recorded at surface ozone monitoring sites from northern Alaska to northern California. At Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost point in the United States, the highest April ozone readings recorded at the surface (hourly average values >55 ppbv) in 37 years of observation were measured on April 19, 2008. At Denali National Park in central Alaska, an hourly average of 79 ppbv was recorded during an 8-h period in which the average was over 75 ppbv, exceeding the ozone ambient air quality standard threshold value in the U.S. Elevated ozone (>60 ppbv) persisted almost continuously from April 19-23 at the monitoring site during this event. At a coastal site in northern California (Trinidad Head), hourly ozone readings were >50 ppbv almost continuously for a 35-h period from April 18-20. At several sites in northern California, located to the east of Trinidad Head, numerous occurrences of ozone readings exceeding 60 ppbv were recorded during April 2008. Ozone profiles from an extensive series of balloon soundings showed lower tropospheric features at similar to 1-6 km with enhanced ozone during the times of elevated ozone amounts at surface sites in western Canada and the U.S. Based on extensive trajectory calculations, biomass burning in regions of southern Russia was identified as the likely source of the observed ozone enhancements. Ancillary measurements of atmospheric constituents and optical properties (aerosol optical thickness) supported the presence of a burning plume at several locations. At two coastal sites (Trinidad Head and Vancouver Island), profiles of a large suite of gases were measured from airborne flask samples taken during probable encounters with burning plumes. These profiles aided in characterizing the vertical thickness of the plumes, as well as confirming that the plumes reaching the west coast of North America were associated with biomass burning events.

AB The cloud radiative effects on responses of rainfall to the large-scale forcing during a landfall of severe tropical storm Bilis (2006) are investigated by analyzing sensitivity experiments Imposed by large-scale forcing from NCEP/GDAS data in a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model The daily average analysis is conducted on 15 and 16 July 2009 respectively due to dominant stratiform and convective rainfall associated with different large-scale forcing When cloud radiative effects are excluded the increased mean rainfall is associated with the increased mean radiative cooling through the enhanced mean latent heat on 15 July The reduction in mean rain rate is related to the slowdown in the mean net condensation while the enhanced mean radiative cooling from the removal of cloud radiative effects is balanced by the suppressed heat divergence on 16 July The increased mean rainfall on 15 July and decreased mean rainfall on 16 July are mainly from raining stratiform regions The enhanced stratiform rainfall is associated with the weakened local atmospheric moistening and strengthened local hydrometeor loss on 15 July whereas the reduced stratiform rainfall is related to the weakened water vapor convergence on 16 July
When cloud-radiation interaction is excluded the decreases in the mean ram rate are associated with the slowdown in the mean hydrometeor loss on 15 July and the suppression in the net condensation on 16 July The decreased mean rainfall is mainly from convective regions on 15 July and raining stratiform regions on 16 July The reduced convective rainfall is associated with strengthened transport of hydrometeor concentration from convective regions to raining stratiform regions on 15 July whereas the decreased stratiform rainfall is related to the weakened water vapor convergence on 16 July (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved

AB For more than 50 years, Charlotte Moore's compilation of atomic energy levels and its subsequent revisions have been the standard source of reference data for the spectra of hydrogen and its isotopes. In those publications, theoretical data based on quantum-electrodynamic calculations have been given. This reflects the fact that the theory of the hydrogen spectrum has been perfected to an extent far exceeding the capabilities of the best measurements. However, rapid advances in the techniques of laser spectroscopy and optical frequency metrology have recently put experiments on a par with theory in terms of precision. This calls for construction of new comprehensive data sets for H, D, and T that summarize the latest experimental work and can be directly compared with the modern theoretical reference data. The present work compiles several tens of recent measurements of the hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium fine and hyperfine structure intervals and presents sets of energy levels and Ritz wavelengths derived from those measurements. Data exist for the fine structure of energy levels of hydrogen and deuterium up to principal quantum number n = 12. For higher lying levels, there are many observed lines with unresolved fine structure. From those observations, level centers (centers of the fine structure) are derived by a least-squares optimization, and Ritz wavelengths of series with upper levels up to n = 40 are obtained. For tritium, the n = 2 and 3 energy level intervals are derived from experimental observations. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Building information models (BIMs) are maturing as a new paradigm for storing and exchanging knowledge about a facility. BIMs constructed from a CAD model do not generally capture details of a facility as it was actually built. Laser scanners can be used to capture dense 3D measurements of a facility's as-built condition and the resulting point cloud can be manually processed to create an as-built BIM - a time-consuming, subjective, and error-prone process that could benefit significantly from automation. This article surveys techniques developed in civil engineering and computer science that can be utilized to automate the process of creating as-built BIMs. We sub-divide the overall process into three core operations: geometric modeling, object recognition, and object relationship modeling. We survey the state-of-the-art methods for each operation and discuss their potential application to automated as-built BIM creation. We also outline the main methods used by these algorithms for representing knowledge about shape, identity, and relationships. In addition, we formalize the possible variations of the overall as-built BIM creation problem and outline performance evaluation measures for comparing as-built BIM creation algorithms and tracking progress of the field. Finally, we identify and discuss technology gaps that need to be addressed in future research. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Data are presented on sea turtles caught in the Chilean longline fishery targeting swordfish, Xiphias gladius, in international waters off Chile. A total of 10,604,059 hooks from 7976 sets were observed, representing 94% of the total number of hooks fished between 2001 and 2005. Leatherbacks, Dermochelys coriacea, (n = 284) and loggerheads, Caretta caretta, (n = 59) were the most common species captured. Leatherbacks were caught in less than 4% of the sets, with an overall mean of 0.0268 turtles per 1000 hooks. Loggerheads were caught in less than 1% of the sets with a mean catch rate of 0.0056 turtles per 1000 hooks. Most leatherbacks (97.5% of total) were caught between 24 degrees S and 38 degrees S, while loggerheads were caught primarily in the northern portion of the area fished, between 24 degrees 19'S and 25 degrees 31'S. All loggerheads were dehooked where appropriate and released alive. A total of two leatherbacks were found dead. Despite the low catch rate of leatherbacks, the potential impact of this fishery on the severely depleted nesting populations in the eastern Pacific could be significant when combined with other fisheries and threats in the region. The very low mortality of bycaught sea turtles observed in our study is encouraging and suggests that there are opportunities for further reducing harmful effects of swordfish longline fishing on sea turtles. Results of spatial analysis of loggerhead bycatch relative to fishing effort show that closure of the northernmost fishing area would eliminate the majority of the loggerhead bycatch.

ID POPULATIONS; MANAGEMENT; SCHEMES; SIZE
AB As species extinction rates continue to rise, zoos have adopted a more active role in the conservation of endangered species. A central concern is to preserve genetic diversity of zoological populations. Accordingly, when selecting individuals to transfer to new or existing populations, zoo managers must consider the genetic effects on all populations involved. We propose a quadratic integer programming (IP) model to identify a group of individuals to transfer that maximizes genetic diversity within two subpopulations. We then reduce this model to a linear IP formulation and apply it to the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) studbook. After simplifying the linear IP model, optimality is achieved within a reasonable time limit when a limited number of individuals are relocated. We also develop a local improvement algorithm (LIA) to efficiently provide near-optimal solutions when we increase the number of transferred individuals. The LIA quickly obtains optimal solutions when few individuals are transferred and in most cases, the LIA outperforms MetaMK, an existing program used to select animals for transfer.

AB Nanoscale surface features that mimic extracellular matrix are critical environmental cues for cell contact guidance and are vital in advanced medical devices in order to manipulate cell behaviors. Among them, nanogratings (line-and-space gratings) are common platforms to study geometric effects on cell contact guidance, especially cell alignment, but generally are one pattern height per platform. In this study, we developed a strategy to fabricate controlled substrates with a wide range of pattern shapes and surface chemistries and to separate surface chemistry and topography effects. As a demonstration of this strategy, six nanograting platforms on three materials were fabricated and applied to examine and differentiate the effects of surface topography and surface chemistry on cell contact guidance of murine preosteoblasts. All of the six platforms contained the same gradient in pattern height (0 to approximate to 350 nm). They were prepared using nanoimprint lithography and annealing for thermoplastic materials (low molecular weight polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)) and photoimprint for a thermoset material (a cross-linked dimethacrylate (DMA)). Each material contains two platforms that are only different in line-and-space pitch (420 or 800 nm). The DMA nanogratings had a reverse line-and-space profile to those of the PS and PMMA nanogratings. Using these platforms, a full range of cell alignment, from randomly orientated to completely parallel to the grating direction was achieved, Results from focal adhesion assays and scanning electronic microscopy indicated a change in cell substrate contact from a noncomposite state (full contact) to a composite state (partial contact between cell and substrate) as pattern height increased. These gradient platforms allowed for the separation of surface chemistry and surface topography to provide insight into the mechanisms responsible for cell contact guidance on nanopatterned surfaces.

TI INFLUENCE OF CHOICE OF TIME PERIOD ON GLOBAL SURFACE TEMPERATURE TREND
ESTIMATES
SO BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID AIR-TEMPERATURE; UPDATE; SERIES; LAND
AB Annual global surface temperature and global land surface temperature trends are calculated for all possible periods of the historical record between 1850 and 2009. Two-dimensional parameter diagrams show the critical influence of the choice of start and end years on the calculated trend and associated temperature changes and suggest time scales required to establish robust trends.
The largest trends and associated temperature changes are all positive and have occurred over periods ending in recent years. Substantial positive changes also occurred from the early twentieth century until the mid-1940s. The continents exhibit greater long-term warming than the global average overall, but less warming in the early part of the century (segments ending in the 1940s). The recent period of short-term cooling beginning in the late 1990s is neither statistically significant nor unusual in the context of trend variability in the full historical record.
Global-mean and land surface temperature changes for periods ending in recent years and longer than about 90 years are extremely unlikely to have occurred by chance. In contrast, short-term trends over less than a few decades are generally not statistically significant. This implies significant contributions of decadal variability to trends estimated over such short time periods.

AB The harvest guideline for Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) incorporates an environmental parameter based on averaged surface temperatures at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography pier (SIO pier) in La Jolla, California, USA, which would be invoked after a series of cool years to reduce commercial catches using a precautionary decision rule. We revisit the stock-recruit and temperature-recruit relationships underpinning the currently used environmental parameter for sardine assessment and found that the temperature-recruit relationship no longer holds for the SIO pier when time series are updated with data from more recent years. The significance of the correlation between temperature and recruitment was also artificially increased by autocorrelation in the time series. In contrast, the stock-recruit relationship was still valid when recent data were added. SIO pier surface temperatures are warmer than 10 m-depth Southern California Bight (SCB) temperatures where the sardine spawn, and the difference has increased since the late 1970s. Sardine recruitment was also not related to offshore temperatures in the SCB. We demonstrate that the environmental proxy derived from SIO pier temperature, which has never affected the harvest guideline since its implementation, no longer predicts recruitment of Pacific sardine, and should be removed from sardine management.

AB Understanding the relative fitness of naturally spawning hatchery fish compared with wild fish has become an important issue in the management and conservation of salmonids. We used a DNA-based parentage analysis to measure the relative reproductive success of hatchery- and natural-origin spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the natural environment. Size and age had a large influence on male fitness, with larger and older males producing more offspring than smaller or younger individuals. Size had a significant effect on female fitness, but the effect was smaller than on male fitness. For both sexes, run time had a smaller but still significant effect on fitness, with earlier returning fish favored. Spawning location within the river had a significant effect on fitness for both sexes. Hatchery-origin fish produced about half the juvenile progeny per parent when spawning naturally than did natural-origin fish. Hatchery fish tended to be younger and return to lower areas of the watershed than wild fish, which explained some of their lower fitness.

AB Lake-level records provide a rich resource of information about past changes in effective moisture, but water-balance fluctuations can be driven by a number of different climate variables and it is often difficult to pinpoint their exact cause. This understanding is essential, however, for reconciling divergent paleo-records or for making predictions about future lake-level variations. This research uses a series of models, the NCAR CCSM3, a lake energy-balance and a lake water-balance model, to examine the reasons for lake-level changes in monsoonal Asia and arid central Asia between the early (8.5 ka), middle (6.0 ka) and late (ca. 1800 AD) Holocene. Our results indicate that the components of the lake water balance responsible for lake-level changes varied by region and through time. High lake levels at 8.5 and 6.0 ka in the monsoon region were caused by the combined effects of low lake evaporation and high precipitation. The low lake evaporation resulted from low winter solar radiation and high summer cloud cover. Precipitation associated with the mid-latitude westerlies increased from the early to middle Holocene and maintained high lake levels throughout most of arid central Asia ca. 6 ka. The modeled evolution of lake level in arid central Asia from the mid to late Holocene was spatially heterogeneous, due to different sensitivities of the northern and southern parts of the region to seasonally-changing insolation, particularly regarding the duration of lake ice cover. The model results do not suggest that precipitation and lake evaporation changes compete with one another in forcing lake-level change, as has been hypothesized.

AB In this study, the first steps in the development of a secondary reference measurement procedure (RMP) 'higher metrological order measurement procedure' to support the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) standardization initiative is described. The RMP should be used to assign values to serum-based secondary reference materials (RMs) without analytical artifacts causing bias. A multiplexed bead-based assay and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were used to identify the optimum monoclonal antibody pair (clones 560 and 19C7) for the RMP. Using these antibodies, an ELISA-based procedure was developed to accurately measure the main cTnI forms present in blood. The proposed RMP appears to show no bias when tested on samples containing various troponin complexes, phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms, and heparin. The candidate assay displayed suitable linearity and sensitivity (limit of detection, 0.052 mu g/L) for the measurement of the proposed cTnI secondary RMs. Preliminary comparison data on patient samples with a commercial cTnI assay are also provided to support the suitability of RMP for value assignment to RMs. Full validation and final assessment of the RMP will be performed through transferability and inter-comparison studies.

AB The realized niches of closely related species must differ if these species are to co-exist stably. The Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) and Chinstrap Penguins (P. antarctica) breed concurrently in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula regions. To identify species- and site-specific foraging niches, we compared the two species' foraging niches, including diet and foraging locations, at two sites in the South Shetland Islands with contrasting marine habitats. Both species fed primarily on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), though fish was also a component of the Gentoo Penguin's diet. Gentoo Penguins foraged closer to shore than did Chinstrap Penguins. Gentoo Penguins foraged during the day, while Chinstrap Penguins foraged throughout the diet cycle, sometimes traveling farther from shore on overnight foraging trips. In most cases, these species-specific foraging patterns were consistent with trends seen elsewhere in the region. However, within each species, site-specific differences in foraging niches were still evident. Overall, we observed that Gentoo Penguins traveled within consistent and limited distances from their colonies, but their diets varied by site in both meal mass and content. Chinstrap Penguins, in contrast, had a uniform diet of krill at both sites but varied the distance from shore and times at which they foraged.

AB Objectives. Type I collagen alone cannot initiate tissue mineralization. Sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) is frequently employed as a chemical phosphorylating reagent in the food industry. This study examined the feasibility of using STMP as a functional analog of matrix phosphoproteins for biomimetic remineralization of resin-bonded dentin.
Methods. Equilibrium adsorption and desorption studies of STMP were performed using demineralized dentin powder (DDP). Interaction between STMP and DDP was examined using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Based on those results, a bio-inspired mineralization scheme was developed for chemical phosphorylation of acid-etched dentin with STMP, followed by infiltration of the STMP-treated collagen matrix with two etch-and-rinse adhesives. Resin-dentin interfaces were remineralized in a Portland cement-simulated body fluid system, with or without the use of polyacrylic acid (PAA) as a dual biomimetic analog. Remineralized resin-dentin interfaces were examined unstained using transmission electron microscopy.
Results. Analysis of saturation binding curves revealed the presence of irreversible phosphate group binding sites on the surface of the DDP. FT-IR provided additional evidence of chemical interaction between STMP and DDP, with increased in the peak intensities of the P=O and P-O-C stretching modes. Those peaks returned to their original intensities after alkaline phosphatase treatment. Evidence of intrafibrillar apatite formation could be seen in incompletely resin-infiltrated, STMP-phosphorylated collagen matrices only when PAA was present in the SBF.
These results reinforce the importance of PAA for sequestration of amorphous calcium phosphate nanoprecursors in the biomimetic remineralization scheme. They also highlight the role of STMP as a templating analog of dentin matrix phosphoproteins for inducing intrafibrillar remineralization of apatite nanocrystals within the collagen matrix of incompletely resin-infiltrated dentin.

AB Gradient elution moving boundary electrophoresis (GEMBE) is a recently described technique for electrophoretic separations in short capillaries or microchannels. With GEMBE, the electrophoretic migration of analytes is opposed by a bulk counterflow of separation buffer. The counterflow velocity is varied over the course of a separation so that analytes with different mobilities enter the separation channel at different times and are detected as moving boundary, step-wise increases in the detector response. The resolution of a GEMBE separation is thus dependent on the rate at which the counterflow velocity is varied, and relatively high-resolution separations can be performed with short microfluidic channels or capillaries. In this paper, a theoretical description of GEMBE is presented that can be used for calculation of expected resolution and for optimization of GEMBE separations. A comparison is made with CZE, a conventional electrophoretic separation technique for which the theoretical understanding is mature. The results indicate that the electric field strength and separation channel length are important parameters for both CZE and GEMBE. However, with GEMBE, the counterflow acceleration is also available as a parameter that can be easily adjusted for optimization of the trade-off between resolution and separation time. This allows for optimization of GEMBE separations by making changes only to the software controlling the apparatus rather than to the hardware of the apparatus itself. Further comparison of the theoretical descriptions of GEMBE and CZE indicates that the time required to achieve a desired resolution is equivalent for the two techniques.

AB As the use of in situ burning for oil spill remediation in coastal wetlands accelerates, the capacity of this procedure to restore the ecological structure and function of oil-impacted wetlands becomes increasingly important. Thus, our research focused on evaluating the functional and structural recovery of a coastal marsh in South Louisiana to an in situ burn following a Hurricane Katrina-induced oil spill. Permanent sampling plots were set up to monitor marsh recovery in the oiled and burned areas as well as non-oiled and non-burned (reference) marshes. Plots were monitored for species composition, stem density, above- and belowground productivity, marsh resiliency, soil chemistry, soil residual oil, and organic matter decomposition. The burn removed the majority of the oil from the marsh, and structurally the marsh recovered rapidly. Plant biomass and species composition returned to control levels within 9 months; however, species richness remained somewhat lower in the oiled and burned areas compared to the reference areas. Recovery of ecological function was also rapid following the in situ burn. Aboveground and belowground plant productivity recovered within one growing season, and although decomposition rates were initially higher in the oiled areas, over time they became equivalent to those in reference sites. Also, marsh resiliency, i.e., the rate of recovery from our applied disturbances, was not affected by the in situ burn. We conclude that in situ burning is an effective way to remove oil and allow ecosystem recovery in coastal marshes.

AB The occurrence, source, and sink processes of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) have been explored by means of combined laboratory, field, and model studies. Observations have shown the occurrence of NDMA in fogs and clouds at substantial concentrations (7.5-397 ng L(-1)). Laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the formation of NDMA from nitrous acid and dimethylamine in the homogeneous aqueous phase. While NDMA was produced in the aqueous phase, the low yields (<1%) observed could not explain observational concentrations. Therefore gaseous formation of NDMA with partitioning to droplets likely dominates aqueous NDMA formation. Box-model calculations confirmed the predominant contributions from gas phase formation followed by partitioning into the cloud droplets. Measurements and model calculations showed that while NDMA is eventually photolyzed, it might persist in the atmosphere for hours after sunrise and before sunset since the photolysis in the aqueous phase might be much less efficient than in the gas phase.

AB The objectives of this work were to compare enterococci (ENT) measurements based on the membrane filter, ENT(MF) with alternatives that can provide faster results including alternative enterococci methods (e.g., chromogenic substrate (CS), and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)), and results from regression models based upon environmental parameters that can be measured in real-time. ENT(MF) were also compared to source tracking markers (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteroidales human and dog markers, and Catellicoccus gull marker) in an effort to interpret the variability of the signal. Results showed that concentrations of enterococci based upon MF (<2 to 3320 CFU/100 mL) were significantly different from the CS and qPCR methods (p < 0.01). The correlations between MF and CS (r = 0.58, p < 0.01) were stronger than between MF and qPCR (r <= 0.36, p < 0.01). Enterococci levels by MF, CS, and qPCR methods were positively correlated with turbidity and tidal height Enterococci by MF and CS were also inversely correlated with solar radiation but enterococci by qPCR was not. The regression model based on environmental variables provided fair qualitative predictions of enterococci by ME in real-time, for daily geometric mean levels, but not for individual samples. Overall, ENT(ME) was not significantly correlated with source tracking markers with the exception of samples collected during one storm event. The inability of the regression model to predict ENT(MF) levels for individual samples is likely due to the different sources of ENT impacting the beach at any given time, making it particularly difficult to to predict short-term variability of ENT(MF) for environmental parameters.

AB Dose-response relationships for aquatic organisms have been developed for numerous contaminants using external media exposures (water and sediment). Dose-response relationships based on internal concentrations (tissue residues) are limited The present study reports Hg dose response curves for early life stage and juvenile or adult fish based on published tissue-residue toxicity studies These curves rely primarily on endpoints that can be directly related to mortality, such as survival, reproductive success. and lethal developmental abnormalities These lethality-equivalent-endpoints were linked using the common metric of injury. Uncertainties and potential applications of this mercury close response curve are discussed Major uncertainties include lab to field extrapolations. biological endpoints selected by investigators. Iraqi-specific extrapolations, and the paucity of published early life stage residue (close) response information To the extent this curve is based exclusively on laboratory toxicity tests and does not consider other potentially sensitive and ecologically important biological endpoints (e.g., growth and behavior), the magnitude of the adverse effects predicted by the curve may be underestimated Environ Toxicol, Chem, 2010,29 2559-2565.

AB The determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites in bile can serve as a tool for assessing environmental PAH exposure in fish. Biliary PAH metabolite levels can be measured using several analytical methods, including simple fluorescence assays (fixed fluorescence detection or synchronous fluorescence spectrometry); high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-F); gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after deconjugation, extraction and derivatization of the bile sample, and finally by advanced liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) methods. The method alternatives are highly different both with regard to their analytical performance towards different PAH metabolite structures as well as in general technical demands and their suitability for different monitoring strategies. In the present review, the state-of-the-art for these different analytical methods is presented and the advantages and limitations of each approach as well as aspects related to analytical quality control and inter-laboratory comparability of data and availability of certified reference materials are discussed.

AB We analyzed trends in a 23-year period of water quality and biotic data for Chesapeake Bay. Indicators were used to detect trends of improving and worsening environmental health in 15 regions and 70 segments of the bay and to assess the estuarine ecosystem's responses to reduced nutrient loading from point (i.e., sewage treatment facilities) and non-point (e.g., agricultural and urban land use) sources. Despite extensive restoration efforts, ecological health-related water quality (chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, Secchi depth) and biotic (phytoplankton and benthic indices) metrics evaluated herein have generally shown little improvement (submerged aquatic vegetation was an exception), and water clarity and chlorophyll-a have considerably worsened since 1986. Nutrient and sediment inputs from higher-than-average annual flows after 1992 combined with those from highly developed Coastal Plain areas and compromised ecosystem resiliency are important factors responsible for worsening chlorophyll-a and Secchi depth trends in mesohaline and polyhaline zones from 1986 to 2008.

AB Human encroachment on the coastal zone has led to concern about the impact of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) on estuarine and continental shelf waters. Western North Atlantic watershed budgets suggest that the export of human-derived N from estuaries to shelf waters off the east coast of the US may be significant: however, models based on water inputs and estimates of upwelling of deepwater nutrients to surface waters of the mid-Atlantic bight indicate that estuarine N may be a relatively minor component of the overall shelf N budget. Stable N isotope ratios could provide a means to assess the relative input of anthropogenic N to shelf waters, particularly since dissolved N from human sources has elevated delta(15)N values (range: 7-30 parts per thousand). We collected particulate material from surface shelf waters off the US east coast from 2000 to 2005 at near-shore sample sites proximal to the mouth of six estuaries and corresponding sites farther offshore. Near-shore (mean 33.7 km from estuary mouth) delta(15)N values ranged from 5.5 to 7.7 parts per thousand, Offshore values (mean 92.4 km from estuary mouth) were consistently lower than near-shore sites (average 4.7 +/- 1.0 parts per thousand versus 6.8 +/- 1.1 parts per thousand)(,) suggesting different N sources to near and offshore stations. Near-shore regions are often more productive, as mean monthly chlorophyll-a concentrations from the sea-viewing wide field-of-view sensor (SeaWiFS) were significantly higher at near-shore sites near the mouth of three of the six estuaries. A mass balance using a concentration-dependent mixing model with chlorophyll-a concentrations as a surrogate for dissolved inorganic nitrogen can account for all of the nitrogen at near-shore sites south of Cape Cod with estuarine nitrogen estimated to contribute 45-85% of the nitrogen to the near-shore surface particulate material. Our results support the hypothesis that estuarine nitrogen is influencing continental shelf ecosystems, and also provide preliminary evidence of the spatial extent of its influence on shelf waters in the mid-Atlantic bight.

AB P>1. In this review, we first summarize how hydrologic connectivity has been studied for riverine fish capable of moving long distances, and then identify research opportunities that have clear conservation significance. Migratory species, such as anadromous salmonids, are good model organisms for understanding ecological connectivity in rivers because the spatial scale over which movements occur among freshwater habitats is large enough to be easily observed with available techniques; they are often economically or culturally valuable with habitats that can be easily fragmented by human activities; and they integrate landscape conditions from multiple surrounding catchment(s) with in-river conditions. Studies have focussed on three themes: (i) relatively stable connections (connections controlled by processes that act over broad spatio-temporal scales > 1000 km2 and > 100 years); (ii) dynamic connections (connections controlled by processes acting over fine to moderate spatio-temporal scales similar to 1-1000 km2 and < 1-100 years); and (iii) anthropogenic influences on hydrologic connectivity, including actions that disrupt or enhance natural connections experienced by fish.
2. We outline eight challenges to understanding the role of connectivity in riverine fish ecology, organized under three foci: (i) addressing the constraints of river structure; (ii) embracing temporal complexity in hydrologic connectivity; and (iii) managing connectivity for riverine fishes. Challenges include the spatial structure of stream networks, the force and direction of flow, scale-dependence of connectivity, shifting boundaries, complexity of behaviour and life histories and quantifying anthropogenic influence on connectivity and aligning management goals. As we discuss each challenge, we summarize relevant approaches in the literature and provide additional suggestions for improving research and management of connectivity for riverine fishes.
3. Specifically, we suggest that rapid advances are possible in the following arenas: (i) incorporating network structure and river discharge into analyses; (ii) increasing explicit consideration of temporal complexity and fish behaviour in the scope of analyses; and (iii) parsing degrees of human and natural influences on connectivity and defining acceptable alterations. Multiscale analyses are most likely to identify dominant patterns of connections and disconnections, and the appropriate scale at which to focus conservation activities.

AB Pesticides pose complex threats to the biological integrity of aquatic ecosystems. In the western US, pesticides have contaminated many surface waters that provide habitat for endangered salmon. These iconic species depend on the productivity of rivers, lakes, and estuaries to provide food for juvenile growth, a key determinant of subsequent marine survival. Despite extensive societal investments in salmon habitat restoration in recent years, the role of pesticides as a limiting factor for salmon recovery has received little attention. Pesticides can be toxic to primary producers and macroinvertebrates, thereby limiting salmon population recovery through adverse, bottom-up impacts on aquatic food webs. The integration of toxicology, environmental chemistry, population biology, community ecology, landscape ecology, conservation biology, and environmental policy is needed to better understand these indirect effects of pesticides on endangered species. We highlight key information gaps and discuss how future research on pesticides and food webs can most effectively guide the long-term conservation of imperiled fish species.

AB Harmful algal blooms are an increasing problem for coastal waters world-wide. The presence of the toxigenic diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia is of concern in the Gulf of Mexico, due to the potential for several species in this genus to produce the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA). Louisiana coastal waters are of particular interest due to the presence of both toxin-producing species of Pseudo-nitzschia and abundant potential vectors. While trophic transfer of DA to consumers has repeatedly occurred along the California coast, little is known about trophic transfer of recently detected DA in the Gulf of Mexico. In this study, the presence of DA was investigated in filter-feeding gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus) and in seawater where high abundances of these fish reside. Pseudo-nitzschia presence and enumeration was determined using light microscopy, species identification in seawater and gulf menhaden gut contents was conducted with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and DA quantification in corresponding seawater and tissue samples was determined by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Examination of the phytoplankton revealed the presence of four species of Pseudo-nitzschia: P. calliantha for the first time, P. pseudodelicatissima, P. pungens, and P. americana, with P. calliantha as the dominant Pseudo-nitzschia species. Low levels of DA were detected in both seawater and fish samples, with a significant correlation between the two (n = 22, p = 0.043). Thus, for the first time in the Gulf of Mexico, a potential vector of DA has been identified, revealing the possibility of DA contamination in coastal Louisiana food webs. Published by Elsevier B.V.

This region has the most intense and prolonged Heterosigma blooms of all B.C. regions analyzed. Marine survival of Chilko stock averaged 2.7% in years when juvenile sockeye salmon seawater migration in the Strait coincided with major Heterosigma blooms versus 10.9% in no or minor bloom index years. Since the mid 1990s, September young-of-the-year ("YOY") herring abundance was strongly correlated with marine survival rates of Chilko stock Fraser River sockeye salmon and Heterosigma bloom timing in the Strait. Juvenile sockeye salmon and YOY herring co-occur for only six weeks in mid-May through June during initial salmon migration in the Strait. Sockeye salmon marine survival rates were therefore determined in that early period. Fraser River discharge was a bloom-controlling factor with earlier and larger spring and early summer flows linked to major blooms in that period. Heterosignia is a most versatile and allelopathic harmful algal bloom species and may adversely affect sockeye salmon through acute and chronic toxicity or food web impoverishment.

AB The re-emergence of Gymnodinum catenatum blooms after a 10 year hiatus of absence initiated the present investigation. This study aims to evaluate the exposure of small pelagic fishes to paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) during blooms of G. catenatum. Sardines (Sardina pilchardus) were selected as a representative fish species. In order to assess toxin availability to fish, both intracellular PSTs (toxin retained within the algal cells) and extracellular PSTs (toxin found in seawater outside algal cells) were quantified, as well as toxin levels within three fish tissue matrices (viscera, muscle and brain). During the study period, the highest cell densities of G. catenatum reached 2.5 x 10(4) cells l(-1) and intracellular PST levels ranged from 3.4 to 398 ng STXeq l(-1) as detected via an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Measurable extracellular PSTs were also detected in seawater (0.2-1.1 mu g STXeq l(-1)) for the first time in Atlantic waters. The PST profile in G. catenatum was determined via high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) and consisted mostly of sulfocarbamoyl (C1+2, B1) and decarbamoyl (dcSTX, dcGTX2+3, dcNEO) toxins. The observed profile was similar to that reported previously in G. catenatum blooms in this region before the 10-year hiatus. Sardines, planktivorous fish that ingest a large number of phytoplankton cells, were found to contain PSTs in the viscera, reaching a maximum of 531 mu g STXeq kg(-1). PSTs were not detected in corresponding muscle or brain tissues. The PST profile characterized in sardine samples consisted of the same sulfocarbamoyl and decarbamoyl toxins found in the algal prey with minor differences in relative abundance of each toxin. Overall, the data suggest that significant biotransformation of PSTs does not occur in sardines. Therefore, planktivorous fish may be a good tracer for the occurrence of offshore G. catenatum blooms and the associated PSTs produced by these algae.

AB Stream flow affects many aspects of freshwater fish biology, but the extent to which variation in stream flow influences productivity of anadromous salmonid populations across their entire life cycle is not well known. We compared relationships of stream flow and productivity for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from two systems in the Salmon River basin in Idaho: the Lemhi River, a watershed subjected to intensive water use for irrigation, and Marsh Creek, a drainage with a natural hydrograph. We estimated rates of productivity based on monitoring at four life stages: the number of eggs initiating each cohort, juveniles migrating from the natal tributary past an outmigrant trap, smolts surviving to the Snake River, and adults returning to spawn. Using model selection techniques, we examined whether river flow experienced during these life stages explained variation above and beyond predictors of climate associated with each stage. In the Lemhi River, tributary stream flow during early residence exhibited strong correlations with egg-trap, egg-smolt, and egg-adult return rates, and was consistently a better predictor of productivity than stream flow occurring during late summer. Model selection indicated that early rearing flow was the single best predictor of both egg-trap and trap-smolt transition rates in the Lemhi River, and path analysis revealed a strong set of pathways linking rearing flow to adult return rate primarily through egg-trap productivity. These patterns were much less strongly exhibited or nonexistent in Marsh Creek. However, for both populations, migration flow in the Columbia River was the best predictor of smolt-adult return rates. Potentially confounding climatic variables exhibited relatively weak effects upon both early life histories and tributary flow, but were included in the best models of migration flows and smolt-adult return rate. These results suggest that effects of stream flow on juvenile salmonids in flow-altered systems can have substantial impacts on returning adults.

AB Throughout their range, Sebastes spp. are adapted to a diversity of ecological niches, with overlapping spatial distributions of different species that have little or no morphological differences. Divergence of behavioural groups into depth-defined adult habitats has led to reproductive isolation, adaptive radiation, and speciation in the genus Sebastes. Recent genetic research, supported by life-history information, indicates four biological stocks of Sebastes mentella in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters: a western stock, a deep-pelagic stock, a shallow-pelagic stock, and an Iceland slope stock. Congruent differences in fatty acids and parasites suggest that these genetically distinct populations are adapted to disparate trophic habitats in pelagic waters (shallower and deeper than the deep-scattering layer) and in demersal habitats on the continental slope. Morphology of pelagic forms is also more streamlined than demersal forms. Although genetic differences and evidence for reproductive isolation are clear, these populations appear to share common nursery habitats on the Greenland shelf. We propose a redefinition of practical management units near the Irminger Sea based on geographic proxies for biological stocks and minimizing mixed-stock catches according to the spatial patterns of the recent fishery.

AB We review our recent progress toward realizing future low-cost, high-efficiency, and scalable organic solar cells (OSCs). First, we show that the transparent electrodes based on metallic nanostructure is a strong candidate as a replacement of conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode due to their superior properties, such as high optical transparency, good electrical conductivity, and mechanical flexibility, and the versatility that these properties can be adjusted independently by changing the linewidth and thickness of the metal grid structure. Furthermore, we exploited the unique optical properties due to the excitation of surface plasmon resonance by the metallic nanogratings to enhance the light absorption of organic semiconductors, and demonstrated enhanced power conversion efficiency than devices made using ITO electrode. In addition, we also investigated a new device fabrication process with a focus on the photoactive layer formation, which produces the most optimum bulk-heterojunction morphology compared with conventional annealing-based methods. Finally, we successfully demonstrated that these approaches are scalable to large-area and high-speed roll-to-roll processes. We believe that the works highlighted in this paper represent one step forward to realizing low-cost, high-efficiency, and large-area OSCs.

AB We illustrate the use of the reverberation chamber to simulate fixed wireless propagation environments including effects such as narrowband fading and Doppler spread. These effects have a strong impact on the quality of the wireless channel and the ability of a receiver to decode a digitally modulated signal. Different channel characteristics such as power delay profile and RMS delay spread are varied inside the chamber by incorporating various amounts of absorbing material. In order to illustrate the impact of the chamber configuration on the quality of a wireless communication channel, bit error rate measurements are performed inside the reverberation chamber for different loadings, symbol rates, and paddle speeds; the results are discussed. Measured results acquired inside a chamber are compared with those obtained both in an actual industrial environment and in an office.

AB Land cover and its associated biophysical parameters govern many land-atmosphere interactions. Several previous studies have demonstrated the utility of incorporating satellite-derived observations of land cover into climate models to improve prediction accuracy. In the developing world where agriculture is a primary livelihood, a better understanding of seasonal variability in precipitation and near-surface temperature is critical to constructing more effective coping strategies for climate changes and food security. However, relatively few studies have been able to assess the impacts of improved surface parameterisation on these variables and their seasonality. Using moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived products, we sought to address this shortcoming by adapting leaf area index (LAI) and vegetative fractional cover (FC) products, along with an improved representation of the land surface (i.e. land use land cover) into the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System in East Africa to evaluate the effect improved representations would have on simulated precipitation and land surface temperature (LST). In particular, we tested the hypothesis that improved phenological parameterisations could reduce error in precipitation and LST under dramatically different atmospheric conditions. The model was used to simulate dry/normal/wet rainfall years of 2000, 2001, and 2002 (respectively) in order to understand biases in this parameterisation under different boundary conditions. Our results show a dramatic improvement in LST simulation due to the use of the improved representations (spline functions) during most of the year, both spatially and temporally. Annual precipitation, which is dependent upon a much greater variety of surface and atmospheric characteristics, did not improve as much by adopting the spline representations of LAI and FC; the results were more equivocal. However, seasonal timing of precipitation improved in some areas, and this improvement has important consequences for integrated climate-agriculture assessments.

AB In this study we developed an impact factor formula (IFF) to quantitatively attribute separately the impacts of climate change and local human activities on hydrological response (i.e. run-off) in a sub-basin of Yellow River for the period 1950-2000.Using the daily climatic data, we first calibrated and verified the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) hydrological model to the baseline period 1955-1970. Then we developed the basin's natural run-off for the following three decades (1971-2000) using the VIC model without considering local human impacts, as the VIC model is benchmarked by the 1960's hydrological regime.
On the basis of observed precipitation, run-off and reconstructed natural run-off data from 1971 to 2000, we quantified their long-term trend, decadal and annual variations. Using daily climatic observations, we showed that the precipitation and run-off have decreased from the baseline decade, the 1960s, indicating a drier hydrological regime for recent decades. We further applied the IFF to quantitatively attribute separately the impacts of reduced precipitation and increased temperatures from climate change and then of local human activities on hydrological run-off response. It was found that climate change has a greater impact than human activities on the basin's run-off for the three consecutive decades. The pCC (percentage change of run-off due to climate change impact) is found to be 89% followed by 66% and 56% in 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, respectively. Over the decades, pHA (percentage change of run-off due to human activities) has continuously increased from 11% to 44%. If the trend continues, in future, the pHA is going to outweigh pCC in this basin. This study provides a quantitative assessment methodology for water resources managers to understand the changing process of the hydrological cycle and attribute its causative factors in a sub-basin of the Yellow River.

TI Time Series. Part 1: Spikes on Magnetograms of the Worldwide INTERMAGNET
Network
SO IZVESTIYA-PHYSICS OF THE SOLID EARTH
LA English
DT Article
AB The International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET) is the world's biggest international network of ground-based observatories, providing geomagnetic data almost in real time (within 72 hours of collection) [Kerridge, 2001]. The observation data are rapidly transferred by the observatories participating in the program to regional Geomagnetic Information Nodes (GINs), which carry out a global exchange of data and process the results. The observations of the main (core) magnetic field of the Earth and its study are one of the key problems of geophysics. The INTERMAGNET system is the basis of monitoring the state of the Earth's magnetic field; therefore, the information provided by the system is required to be very reliable. Despite the rigid high-quality standard of the recording devices, they are subject to external effects that affect the quality of the records. Therefore, an objective and formalized recognition with the subsequent remedy of the anomalies (artifacts) that occur on the records is an important task. Expanding on the ideas of Agayan [Agayan et al., 2005] and Gvishiani [Gvishiani et al., 2008a; 2008b], this paper suggests a new algorithm of automatic recognition of anomalies with specified morphology, capable of identifying both physically-and anthropogenically-derived spikes on the magnetograms. The algorithm is constructed using fuzzy logic and, as such, is highly adaptive and universal. The developed algorithmic system formalizes the work of the expert-interpreter in terms of artificial intelligence. This ensures identical processing of large data arrays, almost unattainable manually. Besides the algorithm, the paper also reports on the application of the developed algorithmic system for identifying spikes at the INTERMAGNET observatories. The main achievement of the work is the creation of an algorithm permitting the almost unmanned extraction of spike-free (definitive) magnetograms from preliminary records. This automated system is developed for the first time with the application of fuzzy logic system for geomagnetic measurements. It is important to note that the recognition of time disturbances is formalized and identical. The algorithm presented here appreciably increases the reliability of spike-free INTERMAGNET magnetograms, thus increasing the objectivity of our knowledge of the Earth's magnetic field. At the same time, the created system can accomplish identical, formalized, and retrospective analysis of large archives of digital and digitized magnetograms, accumulated in the system of Worldwide Data Centers. The relevant project has already been initiated as a collaborative initiative of the Worldwide Data Center at Geophysical Center (Russian Academy of Sciences) and the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (Unite States). Thus, by improving and adding objectivity to both new and historical initial data, the developed algorithmic system may contribute appreciably to improving our understanding of the Earth's magnetic field.

AB A season-long set of 5-day simulations between 1200 UTC 1 June and 1200 UTC 30 September 2000 are evaluated using the observations taken during the Central California Ozone Study (CCOS) 2000 experiment. The simulations are carried out using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5), which is widely used for air-quality simulations and control planning. The evaluation results strongly indicate that themodel-simulated low-level winds in California's Central Valley are biased in speed and direction: the simulated winds tend to have a stronger northwesterly component than observed. This bias is related to the difference in the observed and simulated large-scale, upper-level flows. The model simulations also show a bias in the height of the daytime atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), particularly in the northern and southern Central Valley. There is evidence to suggest that this bias in the daytime ABL height is not only associated with the large-scale, upper-level bias but also linked to apparent differences in the surface forcing.

AB Data Collection 5 processing for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua spacecraft includes an algorithm for detecting multilayered clouds in daytime. The main objective of this algorithm is to detect multilayered cloud scenes, specifically optically thin ice cloud overlying a lower-level water cloud, that present difficulties for retrieving cloud effective radius using single-layer plane-parallel cloud models. The algorithm uses the MODIS 0.94-mu m water vapor band along with CO(2) bands to obtain two above-cloud precipitable water retrievals, the difference of which, in conjunction with additional tests, provides a map of where multilayered clouds might potentially exist. The presence of a multilayered cloud results in a large difference in retrievals of above-cloud properties between the CO(2) and the 0.94-mu m methods. In this paper the MODIS multilayered cloud algorithm is described, results of using the algorithm over example scenes are shown, and global statistics for multilayered clouds as observed by MODIS are discussed. A theoretical study of the algorithm behavior for simulated multilayered clouds is also given. Results are compared to two other comparable passive imager methods. A set of standard cloudy atmospheric profiles developed during the course of this investigation is also presented. The results lead to the conclusion that the MODIS multilayer cloud detection algorithm has some skill in identifying multilayered clouds with different thermodynamic phases.

AB We report on the effect roughness has on the magnetic properties of Co/Ni multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. We can systematically vary the surface roughness and grain size by the variation in the Cu seed layer thickness. The roughness has a significant effect on the lateral anisotropy variation across the material, which was studied through the size dependence of the switching field and switching field distribution in nanostructures. Ferromagnetic resonance measurements show a large dependence of the linewidth on the topography. However, only the inhomogeneous linewidth broadening varied significantly with roughness with little to no effect on the intrinsic damping parameter of alpha=0.015-0.018.

AB Microscopic two-level systems (TLSs) are known to contribute to loss in resonant superconducting microwave circuits. This loss increases at low power and temperatures as the TLSs become unsaturated. We find that the loss is dependent on both the substrate-superconductor interface and the roughness of the surfaces. A native, oxide-free interface reduced the loss due to TLSs. However, a rough surface in the CPW gap did not cause more TLS loss, but the overall loss was significantly increased for the roughest surfaces. [doi:10.1063/1.3499608]

AB This work describes the Air Core, a simple and innovative atmospheric sampling system. The AirCore used in this study is a 150-m-long stainless steel tube, open at one end and closed at the other, that relies on positive changes in ambient pressure for passive sampling of the atmosphere. The Air Core evacuates while ascending to a high altitude and collects a sample of the ambient air as it descends. It is sealed upon recovery and measured with a continuous analyzer for trace gas mole fraction. The Air Core tubing can be shaped into a variety of configurations to accommodate any sampling platform; for the testing done in this work it was shaped into a 0,75-m-diameter coil. Measurements of CO(2) and CH(4) mole fractions in laboratory tests indicate a repeatability and lack of bias to better than 0.07 ppm (one sigma) for CO, and 0.4 ppb for CH(4) under various conditions. Comparisons of AirCore data with flask data from aircraft flights indicate a standard deviation of differences of 0.3 ppm and 5 ppb for CO(2) and CH(4), respectively, with no apparent bias. Accounting for longitudinal mixing, the expected measurement resolution for CO2 is 110 m at sea level, 260 m at 8000 m. and 1500 m at 20 000 m ASL after 3 h of storage, decreasing to 170, 390, and 2300 m, after 12 h. Validation tests confirm that the AirCore is a robust sampling device for many species on a variety of platforms, including balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and aircraft.

AB Phased-array radars (PARs) have the capability of instantaneously and dynamically controlling beam position on a pulse-by-pulse basis, which allows a single radar to perform multiple functions, such as tracking multiple storms or weather and aviation surveillance. Moreover, these tasks can be carried out with different update times to achieve the goal of better characterizing and forecasting the storms of interest. However, these tasks usually compete for finite radar resources, and scheduling algorithms are often needed to address resource contention. To capitalize on the PAR capabilities, an algorithm based on the concept of time balance (TB) is developed for adaptive weather sensing. Two quality measures are introduced to quantify the gain of adaptive sensing relative to standard scanning patterns used by the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). A simulation experiment is performed to demonstrate the advantages of adaptive sensing and to test and verify the performance of the TB scheduling algorithm. It is shown that the gain of adaptive sensing can be realized by the TB scheduler: that is, storms of interest can be revisited more frequently within a relatively short period time compared to conventional scanning.

TI Automatic Detection of Wind Turbine Clutter for Weather Radars
SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID CLASSIFICATION; SPECTRA
AB Wind turbines cause contamination of weather radar signals that is often detrimental and difficult to distinguish from cloud returns. Because the turbines are always at the same location, it would seem simple to identify where wind turbine clutter (WTC) contaminates the weather radar data. However, under certain atmospheric conditions, anomalous propagation of the radar beam can occur such that WTC corrupts weather data on constantly evolving locations, or WTC can be relatively weak such that contamination on predetermined locations does not occur. Because of the deficiency of using turbine locations as a proxy for WTC, an effective detection algorithm is proposed to perform automatic flagging of contaminated weather radar data, which can then be censored or filtered. Thus, harmful effects can be reduced that may propagate to automatic algorithms or may hamper the forecaster's ability to issue timely warnings. In this work, temporal and spectral features related to WTC signatures are combined in a fuzzy logic algorithm to classify the radar return as being contaminated by WTC or not. The performance of the algorithm is quantified using simulations and the algorithm is applied to a real data case from the radar facility in Dodge City, Kansas (KDDC). The results illustrate that WTC contamination can be detected automatically, thereby improving the quality control of weather radar data.

AB The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) has been operationally generating sea surface temperature (SST) products (T(S)) from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) onboard NOAA and MetOp-A satellites since the early 1980s. Customarily, T(S) are validated against in situ SSTs. However, in situ data are sparse and are not available globally in near real time (NRT). This study describes a complementary SST Quality Monitor (SQUAM), which employs global level 4 (L4) SST fields as a reference standard (T(R)) and performs statistical analyses of the differences Delta T(S) = T(S) - T(R). The results are posted online in NRT. The T(S) data that are analyzed are the heritage National Environmental Satellite, Data. and Information Service (NESDIS) SST products from NOAA-16, -17, -18, and -19 and MetOp-A from 2001 to the present. The T(R) fields include daily Reynolds, real-time global (RTG), Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA), and Ocean Data Analysis System for Marine Environment and Security for the European Area (MERSEA) (ODYSSEA) analyses. Using multiple fields facilitates the distinguishing of artifacts in satellite SSTs from those in the L4 products. Global distributions of Delta T(S) are mapped and their histograms are analyzed for proximity to Gaussian shape. Outliers are handled using robust statistics, and the Gaussian parameters are trended in time to monitor SST products for stability and consistency. Additional T(S) checks are performed to identify retrieval artifacts by plotting Delta T(S) versus observational parameters. Cross-platform T(S) biases are evaluated using double differences, and cross-L4 T(R) differences are assessed using Hovmoller diagrams. SQUAM results compare well with the customary in situ validation. All satellite products show a high degree of self- and cross-platform consistency, except for NOAA-16, which has flown close to the terminator in recent years and whose AVHRR is unstable.

ID MICROWAVE SOUNDING UNIT; TROPOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE; SATELLITE;
CONSTRUCTION; CALIBRATION; VALIDATION; CHANNEL-2
AB Warm target effect and diurnal drift errors are the main sources of uncertainties in the trend determination from the NOAA Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) observations. Currently, there are two methods to correct the warm target effect: 1) finding a best root-level (level-1c) calibration nonlinearity using simultaneous nadir overpass (SNO) matchups to minimize this effect for each scene radiance, and 2) finding a best-fit empirical relationship between the correction term of the end-level gridded brightness temperature and warm target temperature and then removing the best fit from the unadjusted time series. The former corrects the warm target effect before the diurnal drift adjustment and provides more accurate, warm target effect-minimized, level-1c scene radiances for reanalysis applications. The latter corrects the warm target effect at the end-level merging step, which depend on the diurnal drift correction that occurred at a previous step. Although minimized, the first method still leaves small residual warm target-related errors due to imperfect calibrations. This study demonstrates that when the diurnal drift effect is negligible, a combination of the two methods completely removes warm target effect and produces an invariant trend that is independent of the level-1c calibration in the SNO framework. The conclusion is directly applicable to the MSU channel-2 oceanic midtropospheric temperature (T-2) and global channel-3 upper-tropospheric temperature (T-3) and channel-4 lower-stratospheric temperature (T-4), which satisfy the condition of negligible diurnal drift effect. On the basis of these results, version 1.2 of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS)-Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) multisatellite MSU time series was constructed, including all T-2, T-3, and T-4 products. In addition, a diurnal drift correction based on the Remote Sensing Systems diurnal anomalies was applied to the T-2 product, which produces consistent climate trends between land and ocean. The global long-term climate trends for T-2 and T-4 derived from the STAR V1.2 dataset are, respectively, 0.18 +/- 0.05 and -0.39 +/- 0.36 K decade(-1) during 1979-2006; the T-3 trend is 0.11 +/- 0.08 K decade(-1) for 1981-2006.

AB In the Northern Hemisphere midlatitude western boundary current (WBC) systems there is a complex interaction between dynamics and thermodynamics and between atmosphere and ocean. Their potential contribution to the climate system motivated major parallel field programs in both the North Pacific [Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS)] and the North Atlantic [ Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Mode Water Dynamics Experiment (CLIMODE)], and preliminary observations and analyses from these programs highlight that complexity. The Gulf Stream (GS) in the North Atlantic and the Kuroshio Extension (KE) in the North Pacific have broad similarities, as subtropical gyre WBCs, but they also have significant differences, which affect the regional air-sea exchange processes and their larger-scale interactions. The 15-yr satellite altimeter data record, which provides a rich source of information, is combined here with the longer historical record from in situ data to describe and compare the current systems. While many important similarities have been noted on the dynamic and thermodynamic aspects of the time-varyingGS and KE, some not-so-subtle differences exist in current variability, mode water properties, and recirculation gyre structure. This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of these two current systems from both dynamical and thermodynamical perspectives with the goal of developing and evaluating hypotheses about the physics underlying the observed differences, and exploring the WBC's potential to influence midlatitude sea-air interaction. Differences between the GS and KE systems offer opportunities to compare the dominant processes and thereby to advance understanding of their role in the climate system.

AB The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) makes the strongest oceanic contribution to the meridional redistribution of heat. Here, an observation-based, 48-month-long time series of the vertical structure and strength of the AMOC at 26.5 degrees N is presented. From April 2004 to April 2008, the AMOC had a mean strength of 18.7 +/- 2.1 Sv (1 Sv equivalent to 10(6) m(3) s(-1)) with fluctuations of 4.8 Sv rms. The best guess of the peak-to-peak amplitude of the AMOC seasonal cycle is 6.7 Sv, with a maximum strength in autumn and a minimum in spring. While seasonality in the AMOC was commonly thought to be dominated by the northward Ekman transport, this study reveals that fluctuations of the geostrophic midocean and Gulf Stream transports of 2.2 and 1.7 Sv rms, respectively, are substantially larger than those of the Ekman component (1.2 Sv rms). A simple model based on linear dynamics suggests that the seasonal cycle is dominated by wind stress curl forcing at the eastern boundary of the Atlantic. Seasonal geostrophic AMOC anomalies might represent an important and previously underestimated component of meridional transport and storage of heat in the subtropical North Atlantic. There is evidence that the seasonal cycle observed here is representative of much longer intervals. Previously, hydrographic snapshot estimates between 1957 and 2004 had suggested a long-term decline of the AMOC by 8 Sv. This study suggests that aliasing of seasonal AMOC anomalies might have accounted for a large part of the inferred slowdown.

TI Analysis of the Arctic System for Freshwater Cycle Intensification:

AB Hydrologic cycle intensification is an expected manifestation of a warming climate. Although positive trends in several global average quantities have been reported, no previous studies have documented broad intensification across elements of the Arctic freshwater cycle (FWC). In this study, the authors examine the character and quantitative significance of changes in annual precipitation, evapotranspiration, and river discharge across the terrestrial pan-Arctic over the past several decades from observations and a suite of coupled general circulation models (GCMs). Trends in freshwater flux and storage derived from observations across the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas are also described.
With few exceptions, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and river discharge fluxes from observations and the GCMs exhibit positive trends. Significant positive trends above the 90% confidence level, however, are not present for all of the observations. Greater confidence in the GCM trends arises through lower interannual variability relative to trend magnitude. Put another way, intrinsic variability in the observations tends to limit confidence in trend robustness. Ocean fluxes are less certain, primarily because of the lack of long-term observations. Where available, salinity and volume flux data suggest some decrease in saltwater inflow to the Barents Sea (i.e., a decrease in freshwater outflow) in recent decades. A decline in freshwater storage across the central Arctic Ocean and suggestions that large-scale circulation plays a dominant role in freshwater trends raise questions as to whether Arctic Ocean freshwater flows are intensifying. Although oceanic fluxes of freshwater are highly variable and consistent trends are difficult to verify, the other components of the Arctic FWC do show consistent positive trends over recent decades. The broad-scale increases provide evidence that the Arctic FWCis experiencing intensification. Efforts that aim to develop an adequate observation system are needed to reduce uncertainties and to detect and document ongoing changes in all system components for further evidence of Arctic FWC intensification.

TI Merged Statistical Analyses of Historical Monthly Precipitation
Anomalies Beginning 1900
SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE
LA English
DT Article
ID GLOBAL PRECIPITATION; DATASET; CYCLE
AB A monthly reconstruction of precipitation beginning in 1900 is presented. The reconstruction resolves interannual and longer time scales and spatial scales larger than 58 over both land and oceans. Because of different land and ocean data availability, the reconstruction combines two separate historical reconstructions. One analyzes interannual variations directly by fitting gauge-based anomalies to large-scale spatial modes. This direct reconstruction is used for land anomalies and interannual oceanic anomalies. The other analyzes annual and longer variations indirectly from correlations with analyzed sea surface temperature and sea level pressure. This indirect reconstruction is used for oceanic variations with time scales longer than interannual. In addition, a method of estimating reconstruction errors is also presented.
Over land the reconstruction is a filtered representation of the gauge data with data gaps filled. Over oceans the reconstruction gives an estimate of the atmospheric response to changing temperature and pressure, combined with interannual variations. The reconstruction makes it possible to evaluate global precipitation variations for periods much longer than the satellite period, which begins in 1979. Evaluations show some large-scale similarities with coupled model precipitation variations over the twentieth century, including an increasing tendency over the century. The reconstructed land and sea trends tend to be out of phase at low latitudes, similar to the out-of-phase relationship for interannual variations. This reconstruction may be used for climate monitoring, for statistical climate studies of the twentieth century, and for helping to evaluate dynamic climate models. In the future the possibility of improving the reconstruction will be explored by further improving the analysis methods and including additional data.

AB An analysis is presented of Auger-electron kinetic energies (KEs) from four data sources for 65 Auger transitions in 45 elemental solids For each data source a single instrument had been used to measure KEs for many elements In order to compare KEs from two sources it was necessary to recalibrate the energy scales of each instrument using recommended reference data Mean KEs are given for most of the Auger transitions for which there were at least two independent measurements and for which differences from the mean KEs were considered acceptably small In several cases comparisons were made to published KE data to resolve discrepancies We are able to recommend mean KEs for 59 Auger transitions from 42 elemental solids and to provide estimates of the uncertainties of these KEs This compilation should be useful for the determination of chemical shifts of Auger peaks in Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved

AB Quantum dots (QDs) of two different surface chemistries (carboxyl [COOH] and polyethylene glycol [PEG] modified) were utilized to determine the impact of surface functionality on QD mobility and distribution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilms. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was utilized to evaluate QD association with biofilm components (proteins, cells, and polysaccharides). Quantum dots did not preferentially associate with cell surfaces compared but did colocalize with extracellular proteins in the biofilm matrix. Neither PEG nor COOH QDs were found to be internalized by individual bacterial cells. Neither QD functionality nor flow rate of QD application (0.3 mL min(-1) or 3.0 mL min(-1)) resulted in a marked difference in QD association with I? aeruginosa biofilms. However, center of density determinations indicated COOH QDs could more easily penetrate the biofilm matrix by diffusion than PEG QDs. Biofilms with PEG QDs associated had rougher polysaccharide layers and rougher cell distribution than biofilms with COOH QDs. This work suggests natural biofilms may serve as deposition locations in natural and engineered environmental systems, and biofilm structural parameters may change based on exposure to nanomaterials of varied physical characteristics.

AB The high variability in survival over the past three decades of north-west Pacific Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha is summarized for 24 stocks and analysed using hierarchical Bayesian models. Results from a simple model indicate that recruitment anomalies appear to be correlated in time and space. A simple model with a covariate based on basin-scale effects (Pacific Decadal Oscillation and El Nino Southern Oscillation) and local-scale effects (sea surface temperature, SST anomaly) was introduced to explain this variability. The model still exhibited residual patterns that were removed when a random-walk component was added to the model. The analysis indicates that recruitment is negatively related to SST anomaly for all stocks and the effect of basin-scale variables is negligible. The effect of climate over the next century is expected to result in estimated recruitment declining by an average of 13% for O. tshawytscha stocks coastwide.

AB We are developing a reference device to be used in the validation of immunohistochemical imaging of biomarkers by microscopy. The prototype device consists of p53 protein immobilized at various concentrations on a glass slide. The device is designed as a reference control to be used with assays that incorporate commercially available anti-p53 antibodies. p53 protein was characterized by mass spectrometry and covalently immobilized through amide linkage to the (3-aminopropyl)trietoxysilane-modified glass surface. This procedure is reproducible and provides a chemically stable product in high yield. The surface-bound protein was shown to be immunoreactive by its specific interaction with anti-p53 antibody (Ab) and detection by absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. Also, comparison was made with microscopic images of Ab-stained tissue samples, known to stain positive for p53. Further development will be required to establish accurate surface protein concentrations in the range required for specific clinical applications. (J Histochem Cytochem 58:1005-1014, 2010)

AB Magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements were used to measure the switching characteristics of spin-valve (SV) arrays currently being developed to trap and release superparamagnetic beads within a fluid medium. The effect of SV size on switching observed by MOKE showed that a 1 mu mx8 mu m SV element was found to have optimal switching characteristics. MR measurements on a single 1 mu mx8 mu m SV switched with either an external applied magnetic field or a local magnetic field generated by an integrated write wire (current density ranging from 10(6) to 10(7) A/cm(2)) confirmed the MOKE findings. The 1 mu mx8 mu m SV low field switching was observed to be +8 and -2 mT with two stable states at zero field; the high field switching was observed to be -18 mT. The low switching fields and the large magnetic moment of the SV trap along with our observation of minimal magnetostatic effects for dense arrays are necessary design characteristics for high-force, switchable-magnet, microfluidic bead trap applications (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB Harmful algal blooms are now recognized as a significant threat to the Chesapeake Bay as they can severely compromise the economic viability of important recreational and commercial fisheries in the largest estuary of the United States This study describes the development of empirical models for the potentially domoic acid producing Pseudo-nitzschia species complex present in the Bay developed from a 22-year time series of cell abundance and concurrent measurements of hydrographic and chemical properties Using a logistic Generalized Linear Model (GLM) approach model parameters and performance were compared over a range of Pseudo nitzschia bloom thresholds relevant to toxin production by different species Small threshold blooms (>= 10cells mL(-1)) are explained by time of year location and variability in surface values of phosphate temperature nitrate plus nitrite and freshwater discharge Medium (100 cells mL(-1)) to large-threshold (1000 cells mL(-1)) blooms are further explained by salinity silicic acid dissolved organic carbon and light attenuation (Secchi) depth These predictors are similar to other models for Pseudo nitzschia blooms on the west coast suggesting commonalities across ecosystems Hindcasts of bloom probabilities at a 19% bloom prediction point yield a Heidke Skill Score of similar to 53% a Probability of Detection similar to 75% a False Alarm Ratio of similar to 52% and a Probability of False Detection similar to 9% The implication of possible future changes in Baywide nutrient stoichiometry on Pseudo-nitzschia blooms is discussed (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved

AB Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are often associated with eutrophication of coastal waters and estuaries However identifying quantitative relationships between nutrient Input and proliferation of specific algal species is very challenging and complex The complexity arises from the diversity of sources forms and fluxes of nutrients both exported into and cycled within the system the diversity of algal mechanisms for acquiring nutrients and the interaction of the target harmful species with other members of the food web Even more challenging is the development of forecasts and predictions both on the short term and on the long term Short term scales (days to weeks) are necessary for managers to prepare for and respond to events longer scales are needed to enable strategic planning to prevent HAB events mitigate their impacts or estimate the interactive effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change To address these needs the HAB modeling community will need to engage with climate scientists (assess climate change scenarios) marine ecologists (describe organism ecophysiology) invasive species experts watershed modelers and hydrologists (estimate future changes in the land derived inputs) and socio economists managers and policy makers (define future land use scenarios and to interpret results in a policy context) (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved

AB A roundtable to discuss monitoring of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in the NHANES was held in late July 2009. Topics included the following: 1) options for dealing with assay fluctuations in serum 25(OH)D in the NHANES conducted between 1988 and 2006; 2) approaches for transitioning between the RIA used in the NHANES between 1988 and 2006 to the liquid chromatography tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) measurement procedure to be used in NHANES 2007 and later; 31 approaches for integrating the recently available standard reference material for vitamin D in human serum (SAM 972) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) into the NHANES; 41 questions regarding whether the C-3 epimer of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [3-epi-25(OH)D3] should be measured in NHANES 2007 and later; and 5) identification of research and educational needs. The roundtable experts agreed that the NHANES data needed to be adjusted to control for assay fluctuations and offered several options for addressing this issue. The experts suggested that the LC-MS/MS measurement procedure developed by NIST could serve as a higher order reference measurement procedure. They noted the need for a commutability study for the recently released NIST SRM 972 across a range of measurement procedures. They suggested that federal agencies and professional organizations work with manufacturers to improve the quality and comparability of measurement procedures across all laboratories. The experts noted the preliminary nature of the evidence of the 3-epi-25(OH)D3 but felt that it should be measured in 2007 NHANES and later. J. Nutr. 140: 2030S-2045S, 2010.

AB Two sea surface height (SSH) anomaly fields distributed by Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) Altimetry are evaluated in terms of the effects that they produce on mixing. One SSH anomaly field, tagged REF, is constructed using measurements made by two satellite altimeters; the other SSH anomaly field, tagged UPD, is constructed using measurements made by up to four satellite altimeters. Advection is supplied by surface geostrophic currents derived from the total SSH fields resulting from the addition of these SSH anomaly fields to a mean SSH field. Emphasis is placed on the extraction from the currents of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), which, acting as skeletons for patterns formed by passively advected tracers, entirely control mixing. The diagnostic tool employed to detect LCSs is provided by the computation of finite-time Lyapunov exponents. It is found that currents inferred using UPD SSH anomalies support mixing with characteristics similar to those of mixing produced by currents inferred using REF SSH anomalies. This result mainly follows from the fact that, being more easily characterized as chaotic than turbulent, mixing as sustained by currents derived using UPD SSH anomalies is quite insensitive to spatiotemporal truncations of the advection field.

AB Remotely sensed ocean color data and numerical modeling have been used to study the phenology of both spring and fall phytoplankton blooms (FPBs) in the Nova Scotian Shelf (NSS)-Gulf of Maine (GoM) region. The ocean color data reveal a general pattern of westward progression of the spring phytoplankton bloom (SPB), and an eastward progression of the FPB in the NSS-GoM region. The spatial pattern of mean chlorophyll concentration in spring is similar to that in fall, with a lower concentration in the NSS and higher in the GoM. Interannually, there is a weak but significant tendency for years with earlier (delayed) SPBs to be followed by delayed (earlier) FPBs, but the mean chlorophyll concentrations during SPBs are not correlated with those during FPBs. The interannual variability of SPB timing is significantly correlated with sea surface salinity (SSS), but the FPB timing is correlated with both SSS and sea surface temperature. The process-oriented numerical modeling experiments suggest that (i) salinity is the main factor influencing the bloom timing and magnitude in the NSS-GoM region, especially for the timing of SPBs; (ii) compared to buoyancy forcing induced by vertical salinity gradients, the impact of surface heating and surface wind stress on the blooms variability is much weaker; and (iii) the nutrient level controls the bloom magnitude, but only has a minor effect on bloom timing. This study provides a quantitative estimation of relationship between changes in local/remote environmental forcing and phytoplankton phenological shifts, thus improving our understanding on the possible impact of climate change on coastal/shelf ecosystems.

Incident circular, linearly polarized, and unpolarized light produces significant spectral features in the case of samples containing chlorophyll such as leaves and cyanobacteria. Polarization scattering signatures are observed around the chlorophyll 'red edge' that may have diagnostic value in the search for life signatures from extrasolar planets. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

AB The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has redefined its gas pressure scale, up to 17 MPa, based on two primary standard piston gauges. The primary standard piston gauges are 35.8 mm in diameter and operate from 20 kPa to 1 MPa. Ten secondary standard piston gauges, two each of five series of the Ruska 2465 type, with successively smaller diameters form the scale extending up to 17 MPa. Six of the piston gauges were directly compared to the primary standards to determine their effective area and expanded (k = 2) uncertainty. Two piston gauges operating to 7 MPa were compared to the 1.4 MPa gauges, and two piston gauges operating to 17 MPa were compared to the 7 MPa gauges. Distortion in the 7 MPa piston gauges was determined by comparing those gauges to a DH Instruments PG7601 type piston gauge, whose distortion was calculated using elasticity theory. The relative standard uncertainties achieved by the primary standards range from 3.0 x 10(-6) to 3.2 x 10(-6). The relative standard uncertainty of the secondary standards is as low as 4.2 x 10(-6) at 300 kPa. The effective areas and uncertainties were validated by comparison to standards of other National Metrology Institutes (NMIs). Results show agreement in all cases to better than the expanded (k = 2) uncertainty of the difference between NIST and the other NMIs, and in most cases to better than the standard (k = 1) uncertainty of the difference.

AB Optical frequency combs can be employed over a broad spectral range to calibrate laser frequency or vacuum wavelength. This article describes procedures and techniques utilized in the Precision Engineering Division of NIST ( National Institute of Standards and Technology) for comb-based calibration of laser wavelength, including a discussion of ancillary measurements such as determining the mode order. The underlying purpose of these calibrations is to provide traceable standards in support of length measurement. The relative uncertainty needed to fulfill this goal is typically 10(-8) and never below 10(-12), very modest requirements compared to the capabilities of comb-based frequency metrology. In this accuracy range the Global Positioning System (GPS) serves as an excellent frequency reference that can provide the traceable underpinning of the measurement. This article describes techniques that can be used to completely characterize measurement errors in a GPS-based comb system and thus achieve full confidence in measurement results.

AB Hydrogen pipeline systems offer an economical means of storing and transporting energy in the form of hydrogen gas. Pipelines can be used to transport hydrogen that has been generated at solar and wind farms to and from salt cavern storage locations. In addition, pipeline transportation systems will be essential before widespread hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology becomes a reality. Since hydrogen pipeline use is expected to grow, the mechanical integrity of these pipelines will need to be validated under the presence of pressurized hydrogen. This paper focuses on a review of the fatigue crack growth response of pipeline steels when exposed to gaseous hydrogen environments. Because of defect-tolerant design principles in pipeline structures, it is essential that designers consider hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth behavior in these applications.

DE Birge test; interlaboratory evaluations; predictive p-value; uncertainty
ID FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL CONSTANTS; INTERLABORATORY EVALUATIONS; CONSISTENCY
AB In some metrology applications multiple results of measurement for a common measurand are obtained and it is necessary to determine whether the results agree with each other. A result of measurement based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) consists of a measured value together with its associated standard uncertainty. In the GUM, the measured value is regarded as the expected value and the standard uncertainty is regarded as the standard deviation, both known values, of a state-of-knowledge probability distribution. A state-of-knowledge distribution represented by a result need not be completely known. Then how can one assess the differences between the results based on the GUM? Metrologists have for many years used the Birge chisquare test as 'a rule of thumb' to assess the differences between two or more measured values for the same measurand by pretending that the standard uncertainties were the standard deviations of the presumed sampling probability distributions from random variation of the measured values. We point out that this is misuse of the standard uncertainties; the Birge test and the concept of statistical consistency motivated by it do not apply to the results of measurement based on the GUM. In 2008, the International Vocabulary of Metrology, third edition (VIM3) introduced the concept of metrological compatibility. We propose that the concept of metrological compatibility be used to assess the differences between results based on the GUM for the same measurand. A test of the metrological compatibility of two results of measurement does not conflict with a pairwise Birge test of the statistical consistency of the corresponding measured values.

AB A calcium phosphate cement (CPC) was shown to have the necessary attributes for endodontic materials except adequate basicity needed for antimicrobial properties. To enhance its basicity, tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO5), a highly alkaline compound, was added to CPC at a mass fraction of 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75. The basicity, acid neutralization and physical properties of the CPC-Ca3SiO5 composites were investigated. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used as the control. The acid neutralizing capacity of the CPC-Ca3SiO5 composites and MTA were measured by titrating the suspensions of ground set samples with a 0.2 mol/L HCl at predetermined pH levels, i.e., 11, 9.0, and 7.4. The setting time of CPC-Ca3SiO5 composites determined by the Gilmore needle method was 40 + 10 min. Acid neutralizing capacity of CPC depended (p < 0.05) on Ca3SiO5 content. CPC containing 75 % Ca3SiO5 could neutralize slightly less acid than MTA (p < 0.05), but it had a shorter setting time than that of MTA(> 4 h) and excellent handling properties.

This paper presents an introduction to the general principle of an overlap cell tracking software developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This cell tracker has the ability to track cells across a set of time lapse images acquired at high rates based on the amount of overlap between cellular regions in consecutive frames. It is designed to be highly flexible, requires little user parameterization, and has a fast execution time.

AB The black abalone (Haliolitis cracherodii Leach, 1814) is a relatively large prosobranch gastropod mollusc ranging from approximately Point Arena in northern California to Bahia Tortugas and Isla Guadalupe, Mexico. In the United States, populations of black abalone on offshore islands, especially those of southern California, were particularly large prior to the mid 1980s. Analysis of long-term fishery-dependent and -independent data revealed that fishing pressure in combination with a lethal disease, withering syndrome, has resulted in mass mortalities of 95% or greater in black abalone populations south of Monterey County, CA. Reduction in local densities below the threshold necessary for successful fertilization (0.34/m(2)) has been a widespread and pervasive consequence of population reductions by withering syndrome and other factors. The most significant current and future threat that the black abalone faces is that imposed by the spread of withering syndrome, known to be enhanced by periods of ocean warming. Other factors, such as illegal take, ocean pollution, and natural predation, also pose risks to remaining populations and those that may be restored via active management in the future. Without identification, development, and implementation of effective measures to counter the population-level effects of withering syndrome, remaining black abalone populations may experience further declines.

AB Acoustic assessment of Bering Sea euphausiids and their predators can provide useful data for ecosystem studies if the acoustic scattering characteristics of these animals are known. The amount of acoustic energy that is scattered by different marine zooplankton taxa is strongly affected by the contrast of the animal's density (g) and sound speed (h) with the surrounding seawater. Density and sound speed contrast were measured in the Bering Sea during the summer of 2008 for several different zooplankton and nekton taxa including: euphausiids (Thysanoessa inermis, Thysanoessa raschii, and Thysanoessa spinifera), copepods, amphipods, chaetognaths, gastropods, fish larvae, jellyfish, and squid. Density contrast values varied between different taxa as well as between individual animals within the same species. Sound speed contrast was measured for monospecific groups of animals and differences were found among taxa. The range, mean, and standard deviation of g and h for all euphausiid species were: g=1.001-1.041; 1.018 +/- 0.009 and h=0.990-1.017; 1.006 +/- 0.008. Changes in the relationship between euphausiid material properties and animal length, seawater temperature, seawater density, and geographic location were also evaluated. Results suggest that environmental conditions at different sample locations led to significant differences in animal density and material properties. (C) 2010 Acoustical Society of America.

AB Radar data based analysis products such as accumulated rainfall maps dual Doppler wind syntheses and the) modynamic retrievals are prone to substantial error it the temporal sampling interval is too coarse Techniques to mitigate these errors typically make use of advection correction procedures (since to time conversions) in which the analyzed radial velocity or reflectivity field is idealized as a pattern of unchanging form that translates horizontally at constant speed The present study is concerned with in advection correction procedure for the reflectivity field in which the pattern advection component vary spatially The analysis is phrased as a variational problem in which errors in the frozen turbulence constraint are minimized subject to smoothness constraints The Euler-Lagrange equations for this problem are derived and a solution is proposed in which the trajectories pattern advection fields and reflectivity field are analyzed simultaneouslv using a combined analytical and numerical procedure The potential for solution nonuniqueness is explored

AB A combined active/passive modeling system that converts CloudSat observations to simulated microwave brightness temperatures (T-B) is used to assess different ice particle models under precipitating conditions Simulation results indicate that certain ice models (e g low density spheres) produce excessive scattering and implausibly low simulated T(B)s for stratiform precipitation events owing to excessive derived ice water paths (IWPs) while other ice models produce unphysical T-B depressions due to the combined effects of elevated derived IWP and excessive particle size distribution-averaged extinction An ensemble of nonspherical ice particle models however consistently produces realistic results under most circumstances and adequately captures the radiative properties of frozen hydrometeors associated with precipitation-with the possible exception of very high IWP events Large derived IWP uncertainties exceeding 60% are also noted and may indicate IWP retrieval accuracy deficiencies using high frequency passive microwave observations Simulated T-B uncertainties due to the ice particle model ensemble members approach 9 (5) K at 89 (157) GHz for high ice water path conditions associated with snowfall and similar to 2-3 (similar to 1-2) K under typical stratiform rain conditions These uncertainties however display considerable variability owing to ice water path precipitation type, satellite zenith angle and frequency Comparisons between 157 GHz simulations and observations under precipitating conditions produce low biases (<1 5 K) and high correlations but lower frequency channels display consistent negative biases of 3-4 K in precipitating regions Sample en or correlations and covariance matrices for select microwave frequencies also show strong functional relationships with ice water pat h and variability depending on precipitation type

AB Large eddy simulations of warm trade wind cumulus clouds are conducted for a range of aerosol conditions with a focus on precipitating clouds Individual clouds are tracked over the course of their lifetimes Precipitation rate decreases progressively as aerosol Increases For larger precipitating clouds the polluted clouds have longer lifetimes because of precipitation suppression For clean aerosol conditions there is good agreement between the average model precipitation rate and that calculated based on observed radar reflectivity Z and precipitation rate R relationships Precipitation rate can be expressed as a power law function of liquid water path (LWP) and N-d to reasonable accuracy The respective powers for LWP and N-d are of similar magnitude compared to those based on observational studies of stratocumulus clouds The time integrated precipitation rate represented by a power law function of LWP N-d and cloud lifetime is much more reliably predicted than is R expressed in terms of LWP and N-d alone The precipitation susceptibility (So = dInR/dInN(d)) that quantifies the sensitivity of precipitation to changes in N-d depends strongly on LWP and exhibits nonmonotonic behavior with a maximum at intermediate LWP values The relationship between So and precipitation efficiency is explored and the Importance of including dependence on N-d in the latter is highlighted The results provide trade cumulus cloud population statistics as well as relationships between (memicrophysical/macrophysical properties and precipitation that are amenable for use in larger scale models

AB Landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) often bring about heavy rainfall which typically decreases with the weakening of the TCs However, some TCs may suddenly be reinvigorated after they become remnants over land Such TCs may produce even stronger rains than those at the time of their landfall This reinvigorating phenomenon is known as rainfall reinforcement associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (RRLTC) The TCs triggering rainfall reinforcement account for 9 7% of the total number of TCs that make landfall on mainland China and often cause problems and surprises for forecasters The TCs with rainfall reinforcement mostly make landfall in the area of the southeastern coast of China and move primarily along two tracks spreading northward or westward RRLTC often occurs in the remnant of a tropical depression that has already been downgraded from typhoon intensity particularly in a period when the remnant Iris slowed down or even stagnated The highest frequency of RRLTC occurrence is during the third day after landfall and in the northeast quadrant of a TC moving northward and the southwest quadrants of a TC moving westward
Diagnostic analysis shows that an RRLTC with a northward track can be mainly attributed to the in teraction between westerly troughs and the tropical cyclone In this way a remnant gains baroclinic energy from the midlatitude trough Such an interaction does not appear for northward track TCs without rainfall reinforcement Rainfall reinforcement for TCs with a westward track is mainly due to the interaction between monsoon surge cloud clusters and tropical cyclones which is favorable for moisture and latent he'd gain Analyses show that the westward TCs would not have, rainfall reinforcement without such an Interaction RRLTC requires new energy transport into TCs The results of the present study indicate that baroclinic potential energy and latent heat are the two major energy sources that will trigger the remnant revival and rainfall reinforcement Land surface topography also plays an important role in increasing the rainfall of TCs

AB Fractographic analysis of clinically failed dental ceramics can provide insights as to the failure origin and related mechanisms. One anterior 6-unit all-ceramic zirconia fixed partial denture (FPD) (Cercon (R)) has been clinically recovered and examined using qualitative fractography. The purpose was to identify the fracture origin and to state the reasons for failure. The recovered parts of the zirconia FPD were microscopically examined to identify classic fractographic patterns such as arrest lines, hackle, twist hackle and wake hackle. The direction of crack propagation was mapped and interpreted back to the origin of failure at the interface of the occlusal-palatal tip of the core and the veneering ceramic. An inappropriate core drop design favoring localized stress concentration combined with a pore cluster in the veneering ceramic at the core tip interface were the reasons for this premature through-the-core thickness failure.

AB In the past decade we have witnessed remarkable advances associated with the frequency stabilization of the comb present in the output of a mode-locked femtosecond laser. While proving itself to be fantastically successful in its role as the "gears" of optical atomic clocks, the optical frequency comb has further evolved into a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, including ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy, frequency synthesis, optical and microwave waveform generation, astronomical spectrograph calibration, and attosecond pulse generation, to name a few. In this review, I will trace several of these developments while attempting to offer perspective on the challenges and opportunities for frequency combs that might lie ahead in the next decade.

AB Using bulk magnetization along with elastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques, we have investigated the phase diagram of Fe1+ySexTe1-x and the nature of magnetic correlations in three nonsuperconducting samples of Fe1.01Se0.1Te0.9, Fe1.01Se0.15Te0.85, and Fe1.02Se0.3Te0.7. A cusp and hysteresis in the temperature dependence of the magnetization for the x = 0.15 and 0.3 samples indicates spin-glass (SG) ordering below T-sg = 23 K. Neutron scattering measurements indicate that the spin-glass behavior is associated with short-range spin density wave (SDW) ordering characterized by a static component and a low-energy dynamic component with a characteristic incommensurate wave vector of Q(m) = (0.46, 0, 0.50) and an anisotropy gap of similar to 2.5 meV. Our high Q-resolution data also show that the systems undergo a glassy structural distortion that coincides with the short-range SDW order.

AB Mask contributors to line-edge roughness (LER) have recently been shown to be an issue of concern for extreme ultraviolet lithography both in terms of the accuracy of current resist evaluation tests and in terms of the ultimate LER requirements for the 22 nm production node and beyond. More recently, it has been shown that the power spectral density of the mask-induced roughness is markedly different from that of intrinsic resist roughness and thus potentially serves as a mechanism for distinguishing mask effects from resist effects in experimental results. However, the evaluation of stochastic effects in the resist itself demonstrates that such a test would only be viable in cases where the resist effects are negligible in terms of their contribution to the total LER compared with the mask effects. Moreover, the results presented here lead the authors to the surprising conclusion that it is indeed possible for mask contributors to be the dominant source of LER while the spatial characteristics of the LER remain indistinguishable from the fractal characteristics of resist-induced LER.

AB With the goal of expanding the capabilities of focused ion beam microscopy and milling systems, the authors have demonstrated nanoscale focusing of chromium ions produced in a magneto-optical trap ion source. Neutral chromium atoms are captured into a magneto-optical trap and cooled to 100 mu K with laser light at 425 nm. The atoms are subsequently photoionized and accelerated to energies between 0.5 and 3 keV. The accelerated ion beam is scanned with a dipolar deflector and focused onto a sample by an einzel lens. Secondary electron images are collected and analyzed, and from these, a beam diameter is inferred. The result is a focused probe with a 1 standard-deviation radius as small as 205 +/- 10 nm. While this probe size is in the useful range for nanoscale applications, it is almost three times larger than is predicted by ray-tracing simulations. Possible explanations for this discrepancy are discussed. (C) 2010 American Vacuum Society. [DOI: 10.1116/1.3502668]

AB To ensure the safety of a variety of marine operations, ocean weather monitoring and prediction in many coastal regions have gained prominence over the last couple of decades. To support ongoing forecasting efforts in Prince William Sound, the site of the worst oil spill disaster in U.S. history, a three-way coupled wave forecasting system is developed. The issue of wave forecast reliability is addressed in the context of the associated uncertainty that confronts the manager of engineering operations or other planners. This issue has generally not been systematically addressed in literature. High-resolution 36-h daily forecasts of significant wave heights (SWHs) are compared with measurements from buoys and satellites for about I year. The results show that 70% of the peak SWHs (in the range 5-8 m) were predicted with an accuracy of 15% or less for a forecast lead time of 9 h. The errors are larger for smaller SWHs. Correlation coefficients (R(2)) and indices of agreement (D) between predicted and measured SWHs were reasonable and generally more than 0.78 for all lead times. On average, our analysis showed 70% or greater likelihood of the prediction falling within a tolerance of +/-(1 X RMSE) for all lead times. Barring changes in model physics, resolution, etc., similar acceptance levels could be expected from comparable systems.

AB We determined wolverine (Gulo gulo) distribution and occurrence probabilities using aerial surveys and hierarchical spatial modeling in a 180,000-km(2) portion of Interior Alaska, USA. During 8 February-12 March 2006, we surveyed 149 of 180 1,000-km(2) sample units for wolverine tracks. We observed wolverine tracks in 99 (66.4%) sample units. Wolverine detection probability was >= 69% throughout the survey period. Posterior occurrence probabilities of whether a wolverine track occurred in a sample unit was dependent on survey timing, number of transects flown, number of neighboring sample units with detected tracks, percentage of the sample unit with elevation >= 305 m, and human influences. Our model indicated strong evidence of occurrence (>0.80) in 72% of the 180 survey units, strong evidence of absence (<0.20) in 12%, and weak evidence of occurrence or absence (0.20-0.80) in 16%. Wolverine area of occupancy made up 83% of the study area. Simulations illustrated that 2-4 survey routes were necessary for the survey technique to provide strong evidence of wolverine presence or absence in Interior Alaska if a track was not identified along the first route. The necessary number of survey routes depends on the occurrence probability in a sample unit. We provided managers with a map of wolverine distribution in Interior Alaska and an efficient and lower-cost method to detect coarse-scale changes in wolverine distribution. Our technique was effective in both Interior Alaska and Ontario, Canada, suggesting it would be effective throughout most of the boreal forest range of wolverines where tracks can be readily observed from the air. The technique requires a certain skill level in recognizing tracks; it is essential that tracks are identified correctly and training may be necessary depending on surveyor experience.

AB Telemetry data have been widely used to quantify wildlife habitat relationships despite the fact that these data are inherently imprecise. All telemetry data have positional error, and failure to account for that error can lead to incorrect predictions of wildlife resource use. Several techniques have been used to account for positional error in wildlife studies. These techniques have been described in the literature, but their ability to accurately characterize wildlife resource use has never been tested. We evaluated the performance of techniques commonly used for incorporating telemetry error into studies of wildlife resource use. Our evaluation was based on imprecise telemetry data (mean telemetry error = 174 m, SD = 130 m) typical of field-based studies. We tested 5 techniques in 10 virtual environments and in one real-world environment for categorical (i.e., habitat types) and continuous (i.e., distances or elevations) rasters. Technique accuracy varied by patch size for the categorical rasters, with higher accuracy as patch size increased. At the smallest patch size (1 ha), the technique that ignores error performed best on categorical data (0.31 and 0.30 accuracy for virtual and real data, respectively); however, as patch size increased the bivariate-weighted technique performed better (0.56 accuracy at patch sizes >31 ha) and achieved complete accuracy (i.e., 1.00 accuracy) at smaller patch sizes (472 ha and 1,522 ha for virtual and real data, respectively) than any other technique. We quantified the accuracy of the continuous covariates using the mean absolute difference (MAD) in covariate value between true and estimated locations. We found that average MAD varied between 104 m (ignore telemetry error) and 140 m (rescale the covariate data) for our continuous covariate surfaces across virtual and real data sets. Techniques that rescale continuous covariate data or use a zonal mean on values within a telemetry error polygon were significantly less accurate than other techniques. Although the technique that ignored telemetry error performed best on categorical rasters with smaller average patch sizes (i.e., <= 31 ha) and on continuous rasters in our study, accuracy was so low that the utility of using point-based approaches for quantifying resource use is questionable when telemetry data are imprecise, particularly for small-patch habitat relationships.

AB Historical records of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in shellfish from a coastal embayment in the Pacific Northwest of the United States are used to examine the influence of large-scale climate variations on aspects of Alexandrium catenella bloom dynamics on interannual and interdecadal timescales. An annual index of shellfish toxicity covaries with the number of days annually that sea surface temperature (SST) exceeds 13 degrees C-a known temperature threshold for increased shellfish toxicity in this region-and with an index of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). In contrast, no robust relationship exists between our shellfish toxicity index and an index of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We hypothesize that this is because anomalously warm water temperatures created during El Nino winters do not generally persist into the seasonal time period that shellfish in this region accumulate PSTs, which is typically in the summer and fall. In contrast, anomalously warm water temperatures created during warm-phase PDO winters and springs typically persist into the summer and fall, thereby increasing the number of days annually that SST exceeds 13 degrees C, and increasing the window of opportunity for Alexandrium blooms that ultimately lead to shellfish acquiring higher concentrations of PSTs.

AB To assess the impact of ocean acidification on the carbonate chemistry of the shelf waters off the southeastern United States (South Atlantic Bight [SAB]), we measured carbonate mineral saturation states from January 2005 to May 2006. The findings reveal that aragonite (Omega(arag): 2.6-4.0) and calcite (Omega(cal): 4.1-6.0) saturation states were considerably higher than those recently reported along the West Coast of North America. Different water mass age between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during global ocean circulation is the primary reason for the higher carbonate mineral saturation states in the SAB than along the West Coast. The contrasting water temperatures in the two coasts contribute to such differences. Both upwelling and freshwater discharge also play important roles in controlling saturation state. Carbonate mineral saturation in the surface water of the West Coast is strongly controlled by the upwelling of high-salinity, low-temperature, low-oxygen, and low-pH deep water. In comparison, saturation states in the surface water of the SAB coast are rarely affected by upwelling. Instead, they are strongly influenced by the input of low-saturation-state water from rivers. Continued increases of atmospheric CO2 under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change B1 emission scenario will decrease the carbonate mineral saturation states by up to 40% by the end of this century, and aragonite will approach undersaturation near the coast.

AB The current rate of shark global exploitation and mortality is arguably so high under current management regimes that unless a renewed initiative is undertaken some species of shark will become effectively extinct. Current efforts to sustainably manage shark mortality are driven primarily by domestic laws in a few countries, big international non-governmental organizations (BINGOs) promoting environmental laws in the countries or regions where they exist, a handful of regional fisheries management organizations (e.g., IATTC and ICCAT), and inter-governmental organizations such as CITES. The absence of enforcement capability is often argued as the critical component in the failure to protect sharks from overexploitation. The remedy advanced here goes far beyond the need for stepped up enforcement, and calls for the creation of an entirely new international management regime, the International Commission for the Conservation and Management of Sharks (ICCMS). Such an agency could learn from the experiences of management bodies tasked with conservation of species biologically similar to sharks, such as the International Whaling Commission (IWC), to improve its efficacy. Critics have identified many organizational flaws that reduced the IWC's effectiveness during its earliest years. Some of those flaws are examined here and remedies are suggested that an ICCMS could use to create a more effective management regime. The life histories of elasmobranches and large whales are compared to illustrate their similarities as a biological foundation for the selection of the IWC as a model. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Two unrelated data sources (quantitative secondary data and qualitative primary data) and mixed methodologies (statistical analysis and ethnography) are used to define the concept of, and develop indicators for, fishing dependence. Techniques for integrating differing data sources are developed. Comparisons of the qualitative rankings with the quantitative rankings were, overall, positive and statistically significant. The process used thus confirmed that the indicators were reliable measures for fishing dependence. In terms of external validity and triangulation, the process used was more rigorous than using ethnography "after-the-fact" to ground-truth the quantitative indicators. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

ID LIONFISH PTEROIS-VOLITANS; AQUARIUM TRADE; FISHES; INVASION
AB As the world's largest importer of marine ornamental species for the aquaria, curio, home decor, and jewelry industries, the United States has an opportunity to leverage its considerable market power to promote more sustainable trade and reduce the effects of ornamental trade stress on coral reefs worldwide. Evidence indicates that collection of some coral reef animals for these trades has caused virtual elimination of local populations, major changes in age structure, and promotion of collection practices that destroy reef habitats. Management and enforcement of collection activities in major source countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines remain weak. Strengthening US trade laws and enforcement capabilities combined with increasing consumer and industry demand for responsible conservation can create strong incentives for improving management in source countries. This is particularly important in light of the March 2010 failure of the parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to take action on key groups of corals.

AB Harmful algal bloom (HAS) events threaten human health, living marine resources, and ecosystem health. Their occurrence has increased in frequency, duration, and severity over the last several decades. Preventing, controlling, or mitigating the impacts of HABs requires the development of permanent, operational ocean observing systems that continuously provide the data and information necessary for rapid detection and timely forecasts of changes in ecosystem states. Key elements of such observing systems are observations and modeling that must be efficiently linked via data management and communication networks. Building the observing system begins by integrating existing assets, is followed by incorporation of new technologies and knowledge, and is guided by the data and information needs of decision makers. User needs are particularly important for development of operational forecast models and new sensors for measuring required biological (e.g., HAB species abundance) and chemical (e.g., concentrations of HAB toxins) variables in near real time. This article describes operational observing system requirements for a HAB forecasting system and current efforts by Regional Associations to develop these observing systems for targeted species in their respective regions.

ID SURFACE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS; HF RADAR; SEA
AB A national high-frequency radar network has been created over the past 20 years or so that provides hourly 2-D ocean surface current velocity fields in near real time from a few kilometers offshore out to approximately 200 km. This preoperational network is made up of more than 100 radars from 30 different institutions. The Integrated Ocean Observing System efforts have supported the standards-based ingest and delivery of these velocity fields to a number of applications such as coastal search and rescue, oil spill response, water quality monitoring, and safe and efficient 1 marine navigation. Thus, regardless of the operating institution or location of the radar systems, emergency response managers, and other users, can rely on a common source and means of obtaining and using the data. Details of the history, the physics, and the application of high-frequency radar are discussed with successes of the integrated network highlighted.

AB We report a miniaturized phase shifter operating in the frequency range from 5 to 7 GHz for noise-parameter extraction. Such a tunable solid-state unit represents a significant reduction in the size and mass as a source-pull component, compared to its mechanical counterparts. It provides adequate impedance coverage, ultra-fast response, as well as high repeatability, across the designed region. A packaged low-noise amplifier was measured at integer frequencies by use of the phase shifter on the NIST NFRad system. The measured results exhibited good accuracy. The combined uncertainties (Type-A and Type-B) are below 6% for both the minimum noise temperature and the magnitude of the optimum input reflection coefficient. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB Plasma peptides previously associated with exposure of juvenile male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus rnykiss) to the hormone 17 beta-estradiol (E2) were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Specifically, plasma peptides of interest were fractionated and subsequently identified via spectra obtained by MALDI QqTOF MS/MS and LC-MALDI TOFTOF MS/MS analysis, de novo sequencing and database matching. The two peptide masses were identified as significant matches for fragments of the C-terminal propeptides from rainbow trout vitelline envelope protein (VEP)alpha and VEP gamma isoforms. Our findings document the presence of the C-terminal propeptides from rainbow trout VEP alpha and VEP gamma proteins in the bloodstream of juvenile male rainbow trout exposed to E2 via MALDI-TOF-MS detection. We provide three possible explanations for the presence of C-terminal propeptides in the bloodstream, as well as compare previously obtained hepatic transcriptomic results with the plasma proteomic results obtained in the present study.

AB The topography in and around the Intermountain West strongly affects the genesis, migration, and lysis of extratropical cyclones Here intermountain (i e Nevada or Great Basin) cyclone (IC) activity and evolution are examined using the ECMWF Re-Analysis Interim (ERA-Interim) the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) and the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis from 1989 to 2008, the period during which all three arc available The Is are defined and tracked objectively as 850-hPa geopotential height depressions of >= 40 m that persist for >= 12 h
The monthly distribution of IC center and genesis frequency in all three reanalyses is bimodal with spring (absolute) and fall (secondary) maxima Although the results arc sensitive to differences in resolution, topographic representation, and reanalysis methodology, both the ERA Interim and NARR produce frequent IC centers and genesis in the Great Basin cyclone region, which extends from the southern "high" Sierra to northwest Utah. and the Canyonlands cyclone region, which lies over the upper Colorado River basin of southeast Utah The NCEP-NCAR reanalysis fails to resolve these two distinct cyclone regions and produces less frequent IC centers and genesis than the ERA-Interim and NARR
An ERA-Interim-based composite of strong ICs generated in cross-Sierra (210 degrees-300 degrees) 500-hPa flow shows that cyclogenesis is preceded by the development of the Great Basin confluence zone (GBCZ), a regional airstream boundary that extends downstream from the Sierra Nevada across the Intermountain West Cyclogenesis occurs along the GBCZ as large-scale ascent develops over the Intermountain West in advance of an approaching upper level trough Flow splitting around the high Sierra and the presence of low-level baroclinicity along the GBCZ suggest that IC evolution may be better conceptualized from a potential vorticity perspective than from traditional quasigeostrophic models of lee cyclogenesis Although these results provide new insights into IC activity and evolution, analysis uncertainty and the cyclone identification criteria are important sources of ambiguity that cannot be fully eliminated

AB Floods have profound impacts on populations worldwide in terms of both loss of life and property. A global inventory of floods is an important tool for quantifying the spatial and temporal distribution of floods and for evaluating global flood prediction models. Several global hazard inventories currently exist; however, their utility for spatiotemporal analysis of global floods is limited. The existing flood catalogs either fail to record the geospatial area over which the flood impacted or restrict the types of flood events included in the database according to a set of criteria, limiting the scope of the inventory. To improve upon existing databases, and make it more comprehensive, we have compiled a digitized Global Flood Inventory (GFI) for the period 1998-2008 which also geo-references each flood event by latitude and longitude. This technical report presents the methodology used to compile the GFI and preliminary findings on the spatial and temporal distributions of the flooding events that are contained in the inventory.

AB Naturally occurring photosynthetic systems use elaborate pathways of self-repair to limit the impact of photo-damage. Here, we demonstrate a complex consisting of two recombinant proteins, phospholipids and a carbon nanotube that mimics this process. The components self-assemble into a configuration in which an array of lipid bilayers aggregate on the surface of the carbon nanotube, creating a platform for the attachment of light-converting proteins. The system can disassemble upon the addition of a surfactant and reassemble upon its removal over an indefinite number of cycles. The assembly is thermodynamically metastable and can only transition reversibly if the rate of surfactant removal exceeds a threshold value. Only in the assembled state do the complexes exhibit photoelectrochemical activity. We demonstrate a regeneration cycle that uses surfactant to switch between assembled and disassembled states, resulting in an increased photoconversion efficiency of more than 300% over 168 hours and an indefinite extension of the system lifetime.

AB Decadal fluctuations of the ocean and atmosphere over the North Pacific Ocean significantly affect the weather and
climate of North America and Eurasia. They also cause transitions between different states of marine ecosystems
across the Pacific Ocean(1-3). An important fraction of North Pacific low-frequency variability is linked to the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation(4), a climate pattern associated with decadal
fluctuations of the ocean circulation. Decadal variations in the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation are characterized by a pattern of sea surface temperature anomalies that resemble the central
Pacific El Nino, a dominant mode of interannual variability with far-reaching effects on global climate patterns(5-7). Here we use an ensemble of simulations with a coupled ocean-atmosphere model to show that the sea surface temperature anomalies associated with central Pacific El Nino force changes in the extra-tropical atmospheric circulation. These changes in turn drive the decadal fluctuations of the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. Given that central Pacific El Nino events could become more frequent with increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere(8), we infer that the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation may play an increasingly important role
in shaping Pacific climate and marine ecosystems in the twenty-first century.

AB Optical arbitrary waveform generation will allow waveforms to be synthesized at optical frequencies but with the flexibility currently available at radiofrequencies. This technique is enabled by combining frequency comb technology, which produces trains of optical pulses with a well-defined frequency spectrum, with pulse shaping methods, which are used to transform a train of ultrashort pulses into an arbitrary waveform. To produce a waveform that fills time, the resolution of the shaper must match the repetition rate of the original pulse train, which in turn must have a comb spectrum that is locked to the shaper. Here, we review the current efforts towards achieving optical arbitrary waveform generation and discuss the possible applications of this technology.

AB Transducing non-classical states of light from one wavelength to another is required for integrating disparate quantum systems that take advantage of telecommunications-band photons for optical-fibre transmission of quantum information and near-visible, stationary systems for manipulation and storage. In addition, transducing a single-photon source at 1.3 mu m to visible wavelengths would be integral to linear optical quantum computation because of near-infrared detection challenges. Recently, transduction at single-photon power levels has been accomplished through frequency upconversion, but it has yet to be demonstrated for a true single-photon source. Here, we transduce triggered single photons from a semiconductor quantum dot at 1.3 mu m to 710 nm with 21% (75%) total detection (internal conversion) efficiency. We demonstrate that the upconverted signal maintains the quantum character of the original light, yielding a second-order intensity correlation, g((2))(tau), that shows that the optical field is composed of single photons with g((2))(0) = 0.165 < 0.5.

AB Background: Ciguatoxins are extremely potent neurotoxins, produced by tropical marine dinoflagellates, that persistently enter into our food web. Over 100,000 people annually experience acute ciguatera poisoning from consuming toxic fish. Roughly 5% of these victims will develop chronic ciguatera (CC), a widespread, multisymptom, multisystem, chronic illness that can last tens of years. CC is marked by disproportionate disability and non-specific refractory symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive deficits and pain, and is suggestive of other illnesses. Its unknown pathophysiology makes both diagnosis and treatment difficult.
Objectives: We wanted to compare objective parameters of visual contrast sensitivity testing, measures of innate immune response and genetic markers in cases to controls to assess the potential for the presence of persistent inflammatory parameters that are demonstrated in other biotoxin associated illnesses at a single specialty clinic.
Methods: Using 59 CC cases and 59 controls we present in retrospective review, in all cases, abnormalities in immune responses paralleling the chronic systemic inflammatory response syndrome seen in several other chronic diseases.
Results: This study defines a preliminary case definition using medical history, total symptoms, visual contrast sensitivity, HLA DR genotype analysis, reduction of regulatory neuropeptides VIP and MSH, and multiple measures of inflammatory immune response, especially C4a and TGF beta 1, thereby providing a basis for identification and targeted therapy.
Conclusions: CC provides a model for chronic human illness associated with initiation of inflammatory responses by biologically produced neurotoxins. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB This article focuses on the electronic structure of the poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-[6,6]-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) blend, widely used in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. Given the fact that the surface of the blend film is a nearly pure P3HT wetting layer, we use a lift-off method to access the originally buried surface, which is rich in both P3HT and PCBM and thus representative of the BHJ. The combination of direct and inverse photoemission spectroscopy on this surface leads to a determination of the energy gap between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the acceptor and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the donor. The gap is similar to 1.4 eV, which implies a 0.5-0.6 eV interface dipole barrier between the two materials. The energy gap is found to be stable versus in situ annealing up to 100 degrees C.

AB Spatial and temporal variability of relative abundance of macroalgae at the genus and functional group levels was examined at 14 m depth across the six islands of American Samoa between 2004 and 2006. Diversity of common macroalgae was high with 54 taxa (50 genera and four algal functional groups) identified from sampled quadrats. The highest taxon richness (33) was found at the largest island, Tutuila. Crustose coralline algae, mixed turf algal assemblages, and the chlorophyte Halimeda were ubiquitous across all islands. Other algal genera or functional groups were, however, representative of specific areas. For instance, the chlorophyte Microdictyon was only found at Rose Atoll and Swains Island (the only low open-ocean atoll systems examined). Similarly, the siphonous green alga Rhipilia only occurred at Swains Island, where it was very abundant. Multivariate analyses revealed that macroalgal assemblages differed significantly among sites around a single island and among islands. All islands were significantly different from each other with Swains Islands having the most important dissimilarity with other islands. We hypothesize that Swains Island differs from the other islands because of its geographic isolation. Statistical analyses also highlighted significant differences in the relative abundance of macroalgae between years. The interaction between spatial and temporal variability was also significant, indicating that temporal changes in algal assemblages are island dependant, and spatial differences among islands are a function of the year in which surveys were conducted. Changes in algal assemblages between the 2004 and 2006 surveys were apparent for all islands except Swains Island and Tutuila, probably because of intense cyclone activity in the region during 2005 (Cyclone Olaf). This study contributes to the overall understanding of coral reef diversity and function in American Samoa and forms a baseline for future algal monitoring surveys.

AB We report here the first published observations of killer whales (Orcinus orca) feeding on penguins in Antarctica. The sightings took place in the Gerlache Strait off the western Antarctic Peninsula during February 2010. Two species of pygoscelid penguins were taken-gentoo (Pygoscelis papua, at least four individuals) and chinstrap (P. antarctica, 2). From remains left at the surface, it was clear that the killer whales fed mainly on the breast muscles, although some penguins may have been swallowed whole. The killer whales were ecotype B, which are purported seal specialists, but we also saw ecotype A, prey specialists on Antarctic minke whales Balaenoptera bonaerensis, chase, but not catch penguins. Because of their small relative size, if penguins are regularly targeted by killer whales in Antarctica, the impact on their populations could be significant.

AB A study of the simultaneous application of a brominated flame retardant and an organically layered silicate (OLS) for the flame retarding of polyamide 6 (PA6) is presented. Upon treating PA6 with at least 7 wt% monomeric pentabromobenzyl acrylate (PMA), a UL-94 V-0 rating and an oxygen index (OI) value of 29.7 were obtained. By adding 1 wt% organically layered montorillonite (OMMT) and 10 wt% PMA, the V-0 rating remained, indicating cooperation between PMA and OMMT. Higher concentrations of OMMT result in a decreased UL-94 rating showing an antagonism. The size and mass of drops formed in the UL-94 test increased with increasing OMMT, suggesting an increase in the viscosity and density of the pyrolyzing matrix. The effect of the Br additive on the peak heat release rate (PHRR) measured in the cone calorimeter is similar, but smaller, than that of clay. A calculation of the synergistic effectivity related to PHRR enabling a numerical estimate of the extent of synergism or antagonism is presented. When the ill-dispersed pristine clay (Na(+)MMT) is used, the viscosity does not increase, the PHRR decreases slightly, but the mass loss rate (MLR) is close to that of the matrix. The time of ignition (TOI) decreases upon the addition of PMA, similarly to the addition of OMMT. This is explained by migration of the Br additive to the surface barrier similar to that of clay so that the low thermal conductivity (TC) barrier is formed before the ignition. Accumulation of heat in the barrier decreases the TOI. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) of quinolone drugs showed different sensitivities in aqueous solution vs. biological extract. The authors suggested formation of two singly protonated molecules with different behavior, one undergoing loss of H(2)O and the other loss of CO(2), so that SRM transitions might depend on the ratios of these forms generated by the electrospray. These surprising results prompted us to re-examine several quinolone drugs and some simpler compounds to further elucidate the mechanisms. We find that the relative contributions of loss of H(2)O vs. loss of CO(2) in tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) experiments depend not only on molecular structure and collision energy, but also, in certain cases, on the cone voltage. We further find that many product ions formed by loss of H(2)O can reattach a water molecule in the collision cell, whereas ions formed by loss of CO(2) do not. Since reattachment of H(2)O can occur after water loss in the cone region and prior to selection of the precursor ion, this effect leads to the dependence of MS/MS spectra on the cone voltage used in creating the precursor ion, which explains the formerly observed effect on SRM ratios. Our results support the earlier conclusion that varying amounts of two ions of the same m/z value are responsible for problems in the analysis of these drugs, but the origin is in dehydration/rehydration reactions. Thus, SRM transitions for certain complex compounds may be comparable only when monitored under equivalent ion-forming conditions, including the voltage used in the production of the protonated molecules in the electrospray ionization (ESI) source.

AB The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on EOS/Aqua platform provides a measurement of global methane (CH4) in the mid-upper troposphere since September, 2002. As a thermal infrared sounder, the most sensitivity of AIRS to atmospheric CH4 is in the mid-upper troposphere with the degree of freedom of similar to 1.0. Validation of AIRS CH4 product versus thousands of aircraft profiles (convolved using the AIRS averaging kernels) demonstrates that its RMS error (RMSE) is mostly less than 1.5%, and its quality is pretty stable from 2003 to 2009. For scientific analysis of the spatial and temporal variation of mid-upper tropospheric CH4 (MUT-CH4) in the High Northern Hemisphere (HNH), it is more valuable to use the AIRS retrieved CH4 in a layer of about 100 hPa below tropopause ("Representative Layer") than in a fixed pressure layer. Further analysis of deseasonalized time-series of AIRS CH4 in both a fixed pressure layer and the "Representative Layer" of AIRS (only for the HNH) from 2003 to 2009 indicates that, similar to the CH4 in the marine boundary layer (MBL) that was found to increase in 2007-2008, MUT-CH4 was also observed to have a recent increase but the most significant increase occurred in 2008. MUT-CH4 continued to increase in 2009, especially in the HNH. Moreover, the trend of MUT-CH4 from 2006 to 2008 is lower than the trend of CH4 in the MBL by 30-40% in both the southern hemisphere and HNH. This delay for the MUT-CH4 increase of about one year than CH4 in the MBL as well as the smaller increase trend for MUT-CH4 suggest that surface emission is likely a major driver for the recent CH4 increase. It is also found that the seasonal cycle of MUT-CH4 is different from CH4 in the MBL due to the impact of transport, in addition to the surface emission and the photochemical loss.

AB Evaluating alternative future scenarios using simulation models is an emerging approach to conservation planning over large spatial and temporal extents. Such an approach is useful when predictions cannot be validated empirically; however, evaluating the sensitivity of scenario-based approaches to key uncertainties is necessary so that managers understand how real-world constraints might impact results. We used a simulation approach to investigate the sensitivity of freshwater habitat restoration plans to spatial pattern (e.g., project locations) and economic uncertainties (e.g., budget level and project costs) in a case study on Pacific salmon in the Lewis River Basin (WA, U.S.A.). We found that some evaluation metrics performed better when restoration was distributed randomly, whereas others improved more when restoration occurred on contiguous stretches of river. Subwatersheds responded differently to restoration, suggesting that intrinsic characteristics limit restoration potential. Changes in budget usually caused proportionate improvements in habitat but disproportionate fish responses, suggesting a cumulative benefit for fish. Most per-dollar benefits increased as project cost decreased; therefore, model predictions are sensitive to project cost. Simulation analyses provided increased information about how economics and spatial pattern might affect habitats and salmon; these insights can help policymakers identify an appropriate restoration strategy.

AB Historically, fragmentation has been a successful life history strategy in Acropora palmata. However, in areas where the population is sparse and degraded, the survivorship of fragments is now compromised. This study aimed to determine whether stabilization of A. palmata fragments could increase their overall performance. Naturally occurring fragments were found and assigned to one of three treatments: stabilized to the natural substrate (1) using cable ties, (2) using epoxy or (3) tethered to the substrate as an unstabilized control. After 44 weeks, the general "performance" of the fragments was ranked based on their change in live tissue cover and formation of tissue connections with the substrate. Stabilized fragments lost less tissue cover and ranked higher in performance than the unstabilized control fragments. Stabilization using cable ties and epoxy were similarly effective. The results indicate that stabilizing fragments will preserve live tissue and enhance growth of fragments and can thus improve the survivorship of fragments.

TI Calibrated nanoscale capacitance measurements using a scanning microwave
microscope
SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
LA English
DT Article
ID NEAR-FIELD MICROSCOPY; SILICON; PROBE
AB A scanning microwave microscope (SMM) for spatially resolved capacitance measurements in the attofarad-to-femtofarad regime is presented. The system is based on the combination of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a performance network analyzer (PNA). For the determination of absolute capacitance values from PNA reflection amplitudes, a calibration sample of conductive gold pads of various sizes on a SiO(2) staircase structure was used. The thickness of the dielectric SiO(2) staircase ranged from 10 to 200 nm. The quantitative capacitance values determined from the PNA reflection amplitude were compared to control measurements using an external capacitance bridge. Depending on the area of the gold top electrode and the SiO(2) step height, the corresponding capacitance values, as measured with the SMM, ranged from 0.1 to 22 fF at a noise level of similar to 2 aF and a relative accuracy of 20%. The sample capacitance could be modeled to a good degree as idealized parallel plates with the SiO(2) dielectric sandwiched in between. The cantilever/sample stray capacitance was measured by lifting the tip away from the surface. By bringing the AFM tip into direct contact with the SiO(2) staircase structure, the electrical footprint of the tip was determined, resulting in an effective tip radius of similar to 60 nm and a tip-sample capacitance of similar to 20 aF at the smallest dielectric thickness.

TI Variability of global net sea-air CO2 fluxes over the last three decades

AB The interannual variability of net sea-air CO2 flux for the period 1982-2007 is obtained from a diagnostic model using empirical subannual relationships between climatological CO2 partial pressure in surface seawater (pCO(2SW)) and sea surface temperature (SST), along with interannual changes in SST and wind speed. These optimum subannual relationships show significantly better correlation between pCO(2SW) and SST than the previous relationships using fixed monthly boundaries. Our diagnostic model yields an interannual variability of +/- 0.14 PgC yr-1 (1 Sigma) with a 26-year mean of -1.48 PgC yr-1. The greatest interannual variability is found in the Equatorial Pacific, and significant variability is also found at northern and southern high-latitudes, depending in part, on which wind product is used. We provide an assessment of our approach by applying it to pCO(2SW) and SST output from a prognostic global biogeochemical ocean model. Our diagnostic approach applied to this model output shows reasonable agreement with the prognostic model net sea-air CO2 fluxes in terms of magnitude and phase of variability, suggesting that our diagnostic approach can capture much of the observed variability on regional to global scale. A notable exception is that our approach shows significantly less variability than the prognostic model in the Southern Ocean.

AB The rare stable carbon isotope, 13C, has been used previously to partition CO2 fluxes into land and ocean components. Net ocean and land fluxes impose distinctive and predictable fractionation patterns upon the stable isotope ratio, making it an excellent tool for distinguishing between them. Historically, isotope constrained inverse methods for calculating CO2 surface fluxes-the 'double deconvolution'-have disagreed with bottom-up ocean flux estimates. In this study, we use the double deconvolution framework, but add, as a constraint, independent estimates of time histories of ocean fluxes to the atmospheric observations of CO2 and 13CO(2). We calculate timeseries of net land flux, total disequilibrium flux and terrestrial disequilibrium flux from 1991 to 2008 that are consistent with bottom-up net ocean fluxes. We investigate possible drivers of interannual variability in terrestrial disequilibrium flux, including terrestrial discrimination, and test the sensitivity of our results to those mechanisms. We find that C-3 plant discrimination and shifts in the global composition of C-3 and C-4 vegetation are likely drivers of interannual variability in terrestrial disequilibrium flux, while contributions from heterotrophic respiration and disturbance anomalies are also possible.

AB From 2000 until January 2010 vertical profiles were collected above eastern Amazonia to help determine regional-scale (similar to 105-106 km2) fluxes of carbon cycle-related greenhouse gases. Samples were collected aboard light aircraft between the surface and 4.3 km and a column integration technique was used to determine the CO2 flux. Measured CO2 profiles were differenced from the CO2 background determined from measurements in the tropical Atlantic. The observed annual flux between the coast and measurement sites was 0.40 +/- 0.27 gC m-2 d-1 (90% confidence interval using a bootstrap analysis). The wet season (January-June) mean flux was 0.44 +/- 0.38 gC m-2 d-1 (positive fluxes defined as a source to the atmosphere) and the dry season mean flux was 0.35 +/- 0.17 gC m-2 d-1 (July-December). The observed flux variability is high, principally in the wet season. The influence of biomass burning has been removed using co-measured CO, and revealed the presence of a significant dry season sink. The annual mean vegetation flux, after the biomass burning correction, was 0.02 +/- 0.27 gC m-2 d-1, and a clear sink was observed between August and November of -0.70 +/- 0.21 gC m-2 d-1 where for all of the dry season it was -0.24 +/- 0.17 gC m-2 d-1.

AB Global declines of eelgrass (Zostera marina) have major ramifications for the juvenile fishes for which this plant can provide nursery habitat. However, it is less clear how rapidly fishes can recover when habitat loss is reversed, either through natural growth or through habitat enhancement efforts. We investigated the consequences of natural expansion and recovery of eelgrass following disturbance, on the densities of juveniles of two cod species - Atlantic (Gadus morhua) and Greenland (Gadus ogac) cod - in a coastal nursery area in Newfoundland, Canada. Eelgrass has been expanding at this location, likely as a result of reduced disturbance from winter pack-ice in the past decade. We conducted bi-weekly sampling of juvenile fish densities at 12 sites from July to November annually, 1995-2006, by seine netting. Each site was designated as either 'natural', 'expansion', 'removal-recovery' or 'unvegetated' dependent on their recent eelgrass coverage and involvement in a manipulation study (1999-2000; Laurel et al. 2003b). We measured eelgrass percentage cover at each site by analysis of aerial photographs. Eelgrass cover had noticeably increased in the 1999-2000 'removal-recovery' sites and at the 'expansion' sites following 2000. Using randomized intervention analysis (RIA) we detected positive relationships between eelgrass cover and relative fish density during 2001-2006. These results suggested a significant and rapid increase in age-0 cod density associated with eelgrass habitat expansion. We suggest that juvenile cod density responds to annual expansion and contraction of eelgrass cover, illustrating the potential cascading effects of eelgrass loss associated with climate change, human disturbance, and disease and the potential benefits of eelgrass conservation and enhancement.

AB A trispectral technique is developed for detecting tropical upper tropospheric opaque (tau > 6) and nonopaque (tau < 6) ice clouds over ocean based on the brightness temperature differences between the MODIS 8.5 and 11 mu m bands and between the 11 and 12 mu m bands together with the MODIS detected cloud thermodynamic phase. The brightness temperature differences provide robust information for classifying ice clouds, as illustrated by the observations made by a lidar, a radar, and the MODIS Airborne Simulator over tropical ice anvil systems during the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers-Florida Area Cirrus Experiment. The trispectral technique for detecting tropical upper tropospheric opaque and nonopaque ice clouds is developed based on the analysis of 1 year of data, including MODIS infrared brightness temperatures at 8.5, 11, and 12 mm bands, MODIS-derived ice cloud optical thicknesses, and cloud top heights from CALIPSO and CloudSat over a region (140 degrees E-180 degrees E, 0 degrees N-20 degrees N) in the Western Pacific Warm Pool. The accuracy of the present trispectral technique is above 80%. A 27 July 2007 MODIS granule over the chosen region is used to verify the trispectral technique. It is found that the classification from the trispectral technique is consistent with a classification based directly on the MODIS ice cloud optical thicknesses. The effects of the variations in the MODIS viewing zenith angle on the detection are found to be negligible. The CALIPSO and CloudSat observations used to develop the classification are more sensitive than MODIS to the height and presence of optically thin cirrus. These differences in cloud heights were found to have a negligible impact on the final detection results.

AB Scanning electrochemical microscopy has been used to examine the molecular transport properties of photopolymerized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels having different mesh sizes. Both the molecular weight (508 Da or 3000 Da) of the PEG diacrylate macromer and its weight percent (20 wt%, 40 wt%, or 60 wt%) in solution prior to photopolymerization were varied. Mesh size was estimated from equilibrium swelling measurements and a thermodynamic model. Estimated mesh sizes ranged from ca. 10 A for 60 wt% PEG 508 gels to ca. 100 A for 20 wt% PEG 3000 gels. The electrochemically active diffusing species, ferrocenemethanol, was detected via oxidation at a platinum microelectrode. For a given hydrogel, multiple approach curves showed a consistent relationship between current and distance. Electrochemically estimated diffusivities followed the same trend as predictions based on mesh size and ranged from 25% to 80% of the diffusivity in aqueous solution. As a proof of concept, scanning electrochemical microscopy was successfully used to map the topography of hydrogels with complex architecture, which are being designed as cell scaffolds.

TI Characterizing the retrieval of cloud properties from optical remote
sensing
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English
DT Article
ID RADIUS
AB This paper presents a new approach to the formal characterization of the optical retrieval of cloud optical thickness and effective droplet radius based on a nonlinear methodology that is derived from a general stochastic inverse problem formulation similar to standard Bayesian estimation theory. The methodology includes efficient use of the precomputed radiative transfer model simulations which are already available in standard retrieval algorithms. Another important property of the methodology is that it does not require performing the retrieval with actual measurements in order to characterize the retrieval results. One utility of this analysis is the quantification of information content in the standard retrieval problem, and the increase of information through adding channels (radiances at different wavelengths) to the inversion. This was demonstrated for the five-wavelength retrieval using airborne hyperspectral shortwave irradiance measurements. The ability of the method to evaluate the impact of observation and radiative transfer model uncertainties on the retrieved cloud properties is also demonstrated. Further benefits from this study will be in its application to the cloud retrieval algorithms to be developed for future space-and airborne instruments. The present study puts forth the framework necessary to quantify that increase in information and to optimize new retrieval algorithms that efficiently accommodate the enhanced measurement space.

AB The nonhydrostatic Regional Ocean Modeling System is applied to study the effects of thermocline shoaling/deepening, bathymetry, and asymmetric modulated tides on the soliton growth to the west and east of Luzon Strait in the South China Sea and western Pacific Ocean. Luzon Strait comprises a shallow east ridge and a deep west ridge, and its interaction with barotropic tidal currents yields strong westward internal tides that disperse into solitons. Satellite imagery indicates that the westward solitons are more numerous and better defined than the eastward solitons. The model results show that the eastward solitons are 45%, 39%, 28%, and 23% smaller than the westward solitons due to asymmetric modulated barotropic tides at the east ridge, a deeper Pacific Ocean, westward thermocline shoaling related to the Kuroshio current, and internal tide resonance in a double ridge configuration, respectively. Due to the westward location of the Kuroshio, little thermocline deepening occurs east of the east ridge. Hence, the influence of thermocline deepening on counteracting eastward soliton growth is small. The Kuroshio mainly enhances westward soliton growth. The dispersion of internal tides into solitons is governed by the balance between the nonlinearity parameter on the one hand and the nonhydrostatic and Coriolis dispersions on the other. It is shown that this balance favors soliton growth for thermocline shoaling, while it counters it for a deeper ocean. A series of double ridge experiments is performed, in which the distance between the ridges and the height of the west ridge are varied. For a semidiurnal tidal forcing and two Gaussian ridges separated by 100 km, barotropic to baroclinic energy conversion is enhanced at both ridges, causing larger westward internal tides and solitons. The combination of Coriolis forcing, thermocline shoaling, and a double ridge configuration enhances the distinctiveness of the so-called type a and b solitons when a modulated tide occurs.

AB Using inelastic x-ray scattering techniques, we have succeeded in probing the high-pressure electronic structure of helium at 300 K. Helium has the widest known valence-conduction band gap of all materials a property whose high-pressure response has been inaccessible to direct measurements. We observed a rich electron excitation spectrum, including a cutoff edge above 23 eV, a sharp exciton peak showing linear volume dependence, and a series of excitations and continuum at 26 to 45 eV. We determined the electronic dispersion along the Gamma-M direction over two Brillouin zones, and provided a quantitative picture of the helium exciton beyond the simplified Wannier-Frenkel description.

AB The fracture of brittle/ductile multilayers composed of equal thicknesses of Si and Ag layers evaporated on a thick substrate is studied with the aid of a four-point bending apparatus. The system variables include individual layer thickness (2.5 to 30 nm), total film thickness (0.5 to 3.5 mu m) and substrate material (polycarbonate, aluminum alloy and hard steel). The fracture is characterized by transverse cracks that proliferate with load. The crack initiation strain epsilon(i) is virtually independent of total film thickness and substrate material while increasing with decreasing layer thickness h, to a good approximation as epsilon(i)similar to 1/h(1/2). At higher strains, film debonding and buckling are evident.
The fracture conditions are determined with the aid of a 2D finite element analysis incorporating the inelastic response of the interlayer. A fracture scenario consisting of tunnel cracking in the brittle layers followed by cracking in the interlayers is shown to be capable of predicting the observed increase in crack initiation strain with decreasing layer thickness. To realize this benefit the interlayer must be compliant and tough to force tunnel cracking in the brittle layers. The explicit relation for the crack initiation strain obtained from the analysis can be used to assess fracture toughness and improve damage tolerance in nanoscale layered structures.

AB Newly improved satellite products and surface observations provide an opportunity to revisit remote-sensing capabilities for estimating shortwave (SW) radiative fluxes at high latitudes, location of disagreement among models and observations. Estimates of SW fluxes from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) are evaluated against land observations from the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN), from Greenland, and unique buoy measurements. Results show that the MODIS products are in better agreement with observations than those from numerical models. Therefore, the large scale satellite based estimates should be useful for model evaluation and for providing information in formulating energy budgets at high latitudes. Citation: Niu, X., R. T.

AB Spectral data for neutral sodium were recently compiled by Sansonetti (2008 J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 37 1659). In that compilation, some of the energy levels of the 2p(5)3snl configurations were quoted from the studies of the absorption spectrum in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region, while others were quoted from beam-foil and laser-spectroscopy studies of emission in the visible region. These two sets of data partially overlap. However, in Sansonetti (2008) the energy levels observed in both types of studies were not recognized as being the same entities and were listed as different quantum states, interpreted in different coupling schemes. In addition, the analysis of the absorption spectrum was based on an oversimplified theoretical model and is incomplete. The present work identifies the energy levels commonly observed in absorption and emission studies and provides a consistent description of the 2p(5)3snl energy levels. As a result, about a hundred energy levels are revised. In particular, the connection of the quartet level system with the ground state is firmly established based on absorption studies.

AB Atomic polarization phenomena impinge upon a number of areas and processes in physics. The dielectric constant and refractive index of any gas are examples of macroscopic properties that are largely determined by the dipole polarizability. When it comes to microscopic phenomena, the existence of alkaline-earth anions and the recently discovered ability of positrons to bind to many atoms are predominantly due to the polarization interaction. An imperfect knowledge of atomic polarizabilities is presently looming as the largest source of uncertainty in the new generation of optical frequency standards. Accurate polarizabilities for the group I and II atoms and ions of the periodic table have recently become available by a variety of techniques. These include refined many-body perturbation theory and coupled-cluster calculations sometimes combined with precise experimental data for selected transitions, microwave spectroscopy of Rydberg atoms and ions, refractive index measurements in microwave cavities, ab initio calculations of atomic structures using explicitly correlated wavefunctions, interferometry with atom beams and velocity changes of laser cooled atoms induced by an electric field. This review examines existing theoretical methods of determining atomic and ionic polarizabilities, and discusses their relevance to various applications with particular emphasis on cold-atom physics and the metrology of atomic frequency standards.

AB We have made Doppler-free observations of the 546 nm line of neutral mercury by using saturated absorption and frequency modulation spectroscopy. Absolute wave numbers were measured for 14 resolved components arising from six mercury isotopes. Combining these measurements with precisely known isotope shifts and hyperfine-structure splittings, we derive a value for the wave number in (198)Hg from each of the measured features. Our final value for the wave number of the (198)Hg line is in good agreement with a recently reported measurement using Fourier transform spectroscopy but has an uncertainty that is smaller by a factor of 12.

AB We report measurements of the neutron diffuse scattering in a single crystal of the relaxor ferroelectric material 95.5% Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-4.5% PbTiO3. Our results suggest that the nanometer scale structure in this compound exhibits both < 100 > and < 110 > polarizations, which contribute to different portions of the total diffuse scattering intensity. These contributions can be distinguished by the differing responses to an electric field applied along [001]. While diffuse scattering intensities associated with < 110 > (T2-type) polarizations show little to no change in a [001] field, those associated with < 100 > (T1-type) polarizations are partially suppressed by the field at temperatures below the Curie temperature T-C similar to 475 K. Neutron spin-echo measurements show that the diffuse scattering at (0.05,0,1) is largely dynamic at high temperature and gradually freezes on cooling, becoming mostly static at 200 K.

TI Inter- and intratrimer excitations in the multiferroic Ba3NbFe3Si2O14
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID LATTICE; ANTIFERROMAGNET; DISORDER; ORDER
AB Elastic and inelastic neutron-scattering experiments have been performed on single crystals of the multiferroic Ba3NbFe3Si2O14. It is found that the organization of the spin clusters into true long-range ordered states occurs by the following process: (i) by 60 K, there is evidence for short-range ordered triangular Fe clusters of spins, (ii) below 40 K, the clusters begin to form long-range ordered structures as a spin-wave spectrum develops, (iii) at T-N=26 K, the sample exhibits coexisting long-range and short-range ordered structures, and (iv) by T=1.5 K, a long-range ordered structure with a well-defined spin-wave spectrum develops. The spin-wave excitation can be described by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian within a distorted triangular lattice including both the intratrimer and intertrimer interactions. Physical property measurements showing anomalies near T=40 K can now be adequately explained as being due to scattering from low-energy spin fluctuations.

TI Airborne lidar measurements of ozone flux downwind of Houston and Dallas

ID POWER-PLANT PLUMES; 1995 SOUTHERN OXIDANTS; STABLE BOUNDARY-LAYER;
LOW-LEVEL JET; TEXAS; NOX
AB We use airborne lidar measurements of ozone collected during the Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS) 2000 and TexAQS 2006 field campaigns to compute the horizontal flux of ozone downwind of the Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan areas. Fluxes are computed for each aircraft transect by integrating excess ozone (plume ozone minus background ozone) in the urban plumes and multiplying the result by the horizontal wind speed provided by radar wind profilers. In addition, we use the lidar data to estimate ozone production rates and ozone enhancements in the Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth plumes. We found that the average horizontal flux of ozone emanating from the Houston area based on data from six research flights was 3.2 . 10(26) molecules per second. This was significantly higher than the flux measured downwind of Dallas/Fort Worth during a single flight. The Houston fluxes exhibited a strong dependence on wind direction. Under southerly or northerly flow, ozone fluxes were about twice as large as under westerly or easterly flow conditions. We estimate that a day's worth of export of ozone from the Houston area could raise regional background ozone by about 10 ppbv over a 40,000 km(2) area. This has important ramifications for air quality in communities downwind of Houston as it could raise background ozone levels enough that regions with little or no local pollution sources of their own may violate the federally mandated ozone standard.

ID SOLAR PROTON EVENTS; ATMOSPHERE; JOULE; BUDGET; OZONE
AB A statistical evaluation on the upper mesospheric and lower thermospheric temperature effects caused by energetic particle precipitation is performed on the basis of data from the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) and NOAA 15, 16, and 17 satellites. By combining particle measurement from the medium energy proton and electron detectors (MEPED) on board the NOAA satellites, maps of the global particle precipitation can be obtained close in time to the SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry) temperature retrieval. Using large data sets, sorted by season, local time, and geomagnetic latitude, we investigated whether there are significant temperature effects in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere associated with the energetic particle precipitation. During both May/June and October/November 2003, we found a temperature increase related to particle precipitation at all heights above 100 km. In general, we did not find a consistent immediate temperature modification below 100 km associated with increased particle flux. Considering the temperatures retrieved during the extraordinary large geomagnetic storms in late October 2003, we found a cooling effect associated with energetic particle precipitation.

SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B

DT Article
ID PATTERNED MEDIA; ANISOTROPY; RELAXATION; REVERSAL
AB Intrinsic magnetic defects in perpendicularly magnetized nanostructures reduce the predictability of device and developing recording technologies. In addition to a distribution of local anisotropy fields, we show that such defects also exhibit variations in local anisotropy axes. The magnetic defects are identified by the application of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields and magnetic force microscopy imaging. Those defects that control magnetization reversal in arrays of patterned Co/Pd multilayers are highly dependent on applied field orientation. The symmetry of the defects with respect to the applied field direction indicates that the anisotropy consists of a canted axis, deviating from the surface normal. Micromagnetic simulations confirm that variations in anisotropy axis can cause a significant change in reversal field depending on the location and orientation of the defects, consistent with experimental results.

ID DIOXIDE EXCHANGE; UNITED-STATES; LAND; REANALYSIS
AB Studies diverge substantially on the actual magnitude of the North American carbon budget. This is due to the lack of appropriate data and also stems from the difficulty to properly model all the details of the flux distribution and transport inside the region of interest. To sidestep these difficulties, we use here a simple budgeting approach to estimate land-atmosphere fluxes across North America by balancing the inflow and outflow of CO2 from the troposphere. We base our study on the unique sampling strategy of atmospheric CO2 vertical profiles over North America from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory aircraft network, from which we infer the three-dimensional CO2 distribution over the continent. We find a moderate sink of 0.5 +/- 0.4 PgCy(-1) for the period 2004-2006 for the coterminous United States, in good agreement with the forest-inventory-based estimate of the first North American State of the Carbon Cycle Report, and averaged climate conditions. We find that the highest uptake occurs in the Midwest and in the Southeast. This partitioning agrees with independent estimates of crop uptake in the Midwest, which proves to be a significant part of the US atmospheric sink, and of secondary forest regrowth in the Southeast. Provided that vertical profile measurements are continued, our study offers an independent means to link regional carbon uptake to climate drivers.

AB Emissions of a broad range of greenhouse gases of varying lifetimes contribute to global climate change. Carbon dioxide displays exceptional persistence that renders its warming nearly irreversible for more than 1,000 y. Here we show that the warming due to non-CO2 greenhouse gases, although not irreversible, persists notably longer than the anthropogenic changes in the greenhouse gas concentrations themselves. We explore why the persistence of warming depends not just on the decay of a given greenhouse gas concentration but also on climate system behavior, particularly the timescales of heat transfer linked to the ocean. For carbon dioxide and methane, nonlinear optical absorption effects also play a smaller but significant role in prolonging the warming. In effect, dampening factors that slow temperature increase during periods of increasing concentration also slow the loss of energy from the Earth's climate system if radiative forcing is reduced. Approaches to climate change mitigation options through reduction of greenhouse gas or aerosol emissions therefore should not be expected to decrease climate change impacts as rapidly as the gas or aerosol lifetime, even for short-lived species; such actions can have their greatest effect if undertaken soon enough to avoid transfer of heat to the deep ocean.

AB The workshop 'Spatial models in animal ecology, management and conservation' held at Silwood Park (UK), 9-11 March 2010, aimed to synthesize recent progress in modelling the spatial dynamics of individuals, populations and species ranges and to provide directions for research. It brought together marine and terrestrial researchers working on spatial models at different levels of organization, using empirical as well as theory-driven approaches. Different approaches, temporal and spatial scales, and practical constraints predominate at different levels of organization and in different environments. However, there are theoretical concepts and specific methods that can fruitfully be transferred across levels and systems, including: habitat suitability characterization, movement rules, and ways of estimating uncertainty.

DE predator-prey; food webs; scaling; marine ecosystems
AB Climate and human influences on marine ecosystems are largely manifested by changes in predator-prey interactions. It follows that ecosystem-based management of the world's oceans requires a better understanding of food web relationships. An international workshop on predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems was held at the Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA on 16-18 March 2010. The meeting brought together scientists from diverse fields of expertise including theoretical ecology, animal behaviour, fish and seabird ecology, statistics, fisheries science and ecosystem modelling. The goals of the workshop were to critically examine the methods of scaling-up predator-prey interactions from local observations to systems, the role of shifting ecological processes with scale changes, and the complexity and organizational structure in trophic interactions.

ID PRODUCTS; WILDLIFE; MARKETS
AB We report on genetic identification of 'whale meat' purchased in sushi restaurants in Los Angeles, CA (USA) in October 2009 and in Seoul, South Korea in June and September 2009. Phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences confirmed that the products included three species of whale currently killed in the controversial scientific whaling programme of Japan, but which are protected from international trade: the fin, sei and Antarctic minke. The DNA profile of the fin whale sold in Seoul established a match to products purchased previously in Japan in September 2007, confirming unauthorized trade between these two countries. Following species identification, these products were handed over to the appropriate national or local authorities for further investigation. The illegal trade of products from protected species of whales, presumably taken under a national permit for scientific research, is a timely reminder of the need for independent, transparent and robust monitoring of any future whaling.

AB Narrow bands of strong atmospheric water vapor transport, referred to as "atmospheric rivers" (ARs), are responsible for the majority of wintertime extreme precipitation events with important contributions to the seasonal water balance. We investigate relationships between snow water equivalent (SWE), precipitation, and surface air temperature (SAT) across the Sierra Nevada for 45 wintertime AR events. Analysis of assimilated and in situ data for water years 2004-2010 indicates that ARs on average generate similar to 4 times daily SWE accumulation of non-AR storms. In addition, AR events contributed similar to 30-40% of total seasonal SWE accumulation in most years, with the contribution dominated by just 1-2 extreme events in some cases. In situ and remotely sensed observations show that SWE changes associated with ARs are closely related to SAT. These results reveal the previously unexplored significance of ARs with regard to the snowpack and associated sensitivities of AR precipitation to SAT. Citation: Guan, B., N. P. Molotch, D. E.

SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

DT Article
AB The term "seascape", as used here, relates the natural history of ice-dependent pinnipeds to their sea-ice environments at different spatial scales, following concepts of landscape ecology. Habitats are characterized by heterogeneous but repeatable structures of sea ice. As an example, multiple mesoscale (3-50 km) seascapes present conditions for different ecological preferences of five Beringian ice-dependent pinnipeds, as observed during 2006-2009 winter-spring icebreaker cruises. Seascape partitioning concepts are important for understanding and projecting species' responses to change under climate-change scenarios. Citation: Ray, G. C., J. E. Overland, and G. L.

AB The performance of 18 coupled Chemistry Climate Models (CCMs) in the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) is evaluated using qualitative and quantitative diagnostics. Trends in tropopause quantities in the tropics and the extratropical Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) are analyzed. A quantitative grading methodology for evaluating CCMs is extended to include variability and used to develop four different grades for tropical tropopause temperature and pressure, water vapor and ozone. Four of the 18 models and the multi-model mean meet quantitative and qualitative standards for reproducing key processes in the TTL. Several diagnostics are performed on a subset of the models analyzing the Tropopause Inversion Layer (TIL), Lagrangian cold point and TTL transit time. Historical decreases in tropical tropopause pressure and decreases in water vapor are simulated, lending confidence to future projections. The models simulate continued decreases in tropopause pressure in the 21st century, along with similar to 1K increases per century in cold point tropopause temperature and 0.5-1 ppmv per century increases in water vapor above the tropical tropopause. TTL water vapor increases below the cold point. In two models, these trends are associated with 35% increases in TTL cloud fraction. These changes indicate significant perturbations to TTL processes, specifically to deep convective heating and humidity transport. Ozone in the extratropical lowermost stratosphere has significant and hemispheric asymmetric trends. O-3 is projected to increase by nearly 30% due to ozone recovery in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) and due to enhancements in the stratospheric circulation. These UTLS ozone trends may have significant effects in the TTL and the troposphere.

AB A multimodel assessment of the performance of chemistry-climate models (CCMs) in the extratropical upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) is conducted for the first time. Process-oriented diagnostics are used to validate dynamical and transport characteristics of 18 CCMs using meteorological analyses and aircraft and satellite observations. The main dynamical and chemical climatological characteristics of the extratropical UTLS are generally well represented by the models, despite the limited horizontal and vertical resolution. The seasonal cycle of lowermost stratospheric mass is realistic, however with a wide spread in its mean value. A tropopause inversion layer is present in most models, although the maximum in static stability is located too high above the tropopause and is somewhat too weak, as expected from limited model resolution. Similar comments apply to the extratropical tropopause transition layer. The seasonality in lower stratospheric chemical tracers is consistent with the seasonality in the Brewer-Dobson circulation. Both vertical and meridional tracer gradients are of similar strength to those found in observations. Models that perform less well tend to use a semi-Lagrangian transport scheme and/or have a very low resolution. Two models, and the multimodel mean, score consistently well on all diagnostics, while seven other models score well on all diagnostics except the seasonal cycle of water vapor. Only four of the models are consistently below average. The lack of tropospheric chemistry in most models limits their evaluation in the upper troposphere. Finally, the UTLS is relatively sparsely sampled by observations, limiting our ability to quantitatively evaluate many aspects of model performance.

AB The total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere is an important factor in the propagation of radio waves. Since 1998 the coverage global positioning system (GPS) observations has been sufficient to monitor the TEC globally. We have used the global ionosphere maps provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to devise a new ionosphere climatology (NIC09). The climatology fits the GPS maps to 4.5 TECU, more than twice as well as the IRI2007 climatology. The use of the global mean TEC as the input parameter reduces scaling errors and long-term mean errors in the model. For climatic studies of sea level measured by satellite radar altimeters, it is necessary to go back before 1998. During the earlier years of radar altimetry, we use TOPEX dual-frequency altimeter data to reconstruct the global mean TEC or use the solar radio flux (F(10.7)) as a proxy. The comparison of dual-frequency altimeter data with the GPS maps demonstrated that about 8% of the TEC extends above 1350 km and about 14% above 800 km. The root mean square error of the NIC09 climatology was found to be approximately 18% of the TEC, compared to 14% for the GPS TEC maps, and 35% for IRI2007.

TI An empirical relationship between coronal mass ejection initial speed
and solar wind dynamic pressure
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS

DT Article
ID INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC-FIELD; ANGLE
AB Interplanetary shocks that precede coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are mainly responsible for sudden impulses, which are characterized by a simple step-like increase in the horizontal H component. Such a magnetic field change has been explained as a compression of the magnetosphere by the passage of a sudden increase in the solar wind dynamic pressure. Strong compression of the dayside magnetopause could cause geosynchronous satellites to be exposed to solar wind environments where large fluctuations of the interplanetary magnetic field and highly energetic particles are present. In this study, we chose 26 event pairs consisting of a type II burst/CME occurring in conjunction with a sudden commencement/sudden impulse (SC/SI) whose solar wind, and Earth magnetic field data are available. We then investigated relationships among three physical properties (kinetic energy, directional parameter, and speed) of near-Sun CMEs, solar wind dynamic pressure, and SC/SI amplitude. As a result, we found that (1) the CME speed is more highly correlated with SC/SI amplitude than its kinetic energy and direction parameter; (2) by adopting the empirical relationship between solar wind dynamic pressure and amplitude of symmetric H (a steplike increase in the horizontal H component at low latitude), we could derive an empirical formula for the relationship between solar wind dynamic pressure near the Earth and the CME speed; (3) the CME speed has a linear relationship with the difference of magnetopause locations derived by using the model of Shue et al. (1998) at the subsolar point before and after the shock arrivals; (4) a fast CME greater than 1600 km s(-1) could be a driver of the magnetopause crossing of a spacecraft at geosynchronous orbit. Our results show that the CME speed is an important parameter for early prediction of geosynchronous magnetopause crossing.

AB Aqueous trivalent aluminum (Al) ions and their oligomers play important roles in diverse areas, such as environmental sciences and medicine. The geometries of octahedral Al(H2O)(6)(3+) and tetrahedral Al(OH)(4)(-) species have been studied extensively. However, structures of intermediate hydrolysis products of the Al(III) ion, such as the penta-coordinated Al(OH)(2+) species, which exists at pH values ranging from 3.0 to 4.3, and their mode of formation have been poorly understood. Here, we present that a trigonal bipyramidal Al(OH)(H2O)(4)(2+) structure is formed in aqueous solution and how this monomeric species dimerizes to dinuclear [(H2O)(4)Al(OH)(2)Al(H2O)(4)](4+) complex in aqueous solution. The Gibbs free energy change calculations indicate that the formation of the dinuclear complex is preferred over the existence of two single trigonal bipyramidal Al(OH)(H2O)(4)(2+) species in aqueous solution. This study captures the solution dynamics and proton transfer in the oligomerization reactions of penta-coordinated Al(OH)(2+) species in aqueous solution.

AB The three-dimensional characterization of third generation photovoltaic device structures at the nanometer scale is essential to the development of efficient, reliable, and inexpensive solar cell technologies. Electron tomography is a powerful method for three-dimensional characterization; however, the application of this method to die organic materials systems that comprise typical high-efficiency devices is complicated by the difficulty in generating contrast from the compositionally similar materials. Herein we report the application of low-loss energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy as a method of generating spectroscopic contrast from a common organic bulk-heterojunction thin film consisting of a polymer donor and a fullerene-derivative acceptor. Spectral imaging methods combined with principal component analysis are used to characterize the contrast generation mechanism and to determine the optimum data acquisition parameters for this particular combination of organic phases. A proof of method for using the low-loss spectral signal as a basis for electron tomography is presented. and the advantages and drawbacks or the technique as applied to multiphase organic systems relative to the more commonly employed bright-field imaging approach are outlined.

AB The surface stress associated with the underpotential deposition (upd) of thallium (Tl) on (111)-textured Au is examined, using the wafer curvature method in acidic perchlorate supporting electrolyte. The process is also examined by independent nanogravimetric measurements using an electrochemical quartz crystal nanobalance (EQCN). We observe a sweep rate dependence for both the individual voltammetric waves and stress response, which we attribute to kinetically controlled surface alloying that occurs only it low coverage. Similar behavior has been reported for Pb upd on (111)-textured Au, hut the kinetics for Tl considerably slower and are very sensitive to the defect density of the Au(111) surface. At high coverage. a full Tl monolayer is formed; however. a dealloying step is required prior to completion of the monolayer. The stress hump that is coincident with the last voltammetric wave appears to he caused by the formation and removal of the surface alloy. This is confirmed by long-term potentiostatic pulsing experiments.

TI THE ATACAMA COSMOLOGY TELESCOPE: A MEASUREMENT OF THE 600 < l < 8000

AB We present a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation observed at 148 GHz. The measurement uses maps with 1'.4 angular resolution made with data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The observations cover 228 deg(2) of the southern sky, in a 4 degrees.2 wide strip centered on declination 53 degrees south. The CMB at arcminute angular scales is particularly sensitive to the Silk damping scale, to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from galaxy clusters, and to emission by radio sources and dusty galaxies. After masking the 108 brightest point sources in our maps, we estimate the power spectrum between 600 < l < 8000 using the adaptive multi-taper method to minimize spectral leakage and maximize use of the full data set. Our absolute calibration is based on observations of Uranus. To verify the calibration and test the fidelity of our map at large angular scales, we cross-correlate the ACT map to the WMAP map and recover the WMAP power spectrum from 250 < l < 1150. The power beyond the Silk damping tail of the CMB (l similar to 5000) is consistent with models of the emission from point sources. We quantify the contribution of SZ clusters to the power spectrum by fitting to a model normalized to sigma(8) = 0.8. We constrain the model's amplitude A(SZ) < 1.63 (95% CL). If interpreted as a measurement of sigma(8), this implies sigma(SZ)(8) < 0.86 (95% CL) given our SZ model. A fit of ACT and WMAP five-year data jointly to a six-parameter Lambda CDM model plus point sources and the SZ effect is consistent with these results.

AB The N-terminal matrix (MA) domain of the HIV-1 Gag protein is responsible for binding to the plasma membrane of host cells during viral assembly. The putative membrane-binding interface of MA was previously mapped by means of mutagenesis and analysis of its trimeric crystal structure. However, the orientation of MA on membranes has not been directly determined by experimental measurements. We present neutron reflectivity measurements that resolve the one-dimensional scattering length density profile of MA bound to a biomimetic of the native viral membrane. A molecular refinement procedure was developed using atomic structures of MA to determine the orientation of the protein on the membrane. The orientation defines a lipid-binding interface consistent with previous mutagenesis results. The MA protein maintains this orientation without the presence of a myristate group, driven only by electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, MA is found to penetrate the membrane headgroup region peripherally such that only the side chains of specific Lys and Arg residues interact with the surface. The results suggest that electrostatic interactions are sufficient to favorably orient MA on viral membrane mimics. The spatial determination of the membrane-bound protein demonstrates the ability of neutron reflectivity to discern orientation and penetration under physiologically relevant conditions.

AB Raman microspectroscopy can provide the chemical contrast needed to characterize the complex intracellular environment and macromolecular organization in cells without exogenous labels. It has shown a remarkable ability to detect chemical changes underlying cell differentiation and pathology-related chemical changes in tissues but has not been widely adopted for imaging, largely due to low signal levels. Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (B-CARS) offers the same inherent chemical contrast as spontaneous Raman but with increased acquisition rates. To date, however, only spectrally resolved signals from the strong CH-related vibrations have been used for CARS imaging. Here, we obtain Raman spectral images of single cells with a spectral range of 600-3200 cm(-1), including signatures from weakly scattering modes as well as CH vibrations. We also show that B-CARS imaging can be used to measure spectral signatures of individual cells at least fivefold faster than spontaneous Raman microspectroscopy and can be used to generate maps of biochemical species in cells. This improved spectral range and signal intensity opens the door for more widespread use of vibrational spectroscopic imaging in biology and clinical diagnostics.

AB We report the first investigation of the structural stabilities and elastic properties of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new class of porous crystalline materials. Representative 2D COFs were found to prefer shifted AA stacking, somewhat similar to graphite. The shear moduli of 2D COFs are exceedingly small, suggesting that the layer-layer coupling in 2D COFs is rather weak, and stacking faults may widely exist. Representative 3D COFs were found to exhibit relatively low elastic stiffness overall. In particular, COF-108, the least dense crystal known, exhibits rather low bulk and shear moduli. Our findings provide important structural and physical details to be considered in the further development of COF materials. (c) 2010 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

AB We investigate the transient response of the generated light from four-wave mixing (FWM) in the diamond configuration using a step-down field excitation. The transients show fast decay times and oscillations that depend on the detunings and intensities of the fields. A simplified model taking into account the thermal motion of the atoms, propagation, absorption, and dispersion effects shows qualitative agreement with the experimental observations with the energy levels in rubidium (5S(1/2), 5P(1/2), 5P(3/2), and 6S(1/2)). The atomic polarization comes from all the contributions of different velocity classes of atoms in the ensemble modifying dramatically the total transient behavior of the light from FWM.

AB In YH2+x hydrides stoichiometric deviations are associated with various interesting phenomena such as magnetic transitions and metal-insulator transitions; ordering of hydrogen on the octahedral sites (O sites) was suggested to be responsible. Long-range order was discovered in hydrogenated Y films by electron diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Ordering on interstitial O sites in the fcc-based YfccH2+x solid solution (0 < x < 1) was investigated with computational tools from the Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit. The resulting set of 94 structure energies was fit to a cluster-expansion Hamiltonian that was used to perform a ground-state analysis for the mostly metastable fcc-based solid solution and for the more stable YfccH2+x+YhcpH2+x two-phase mixture. The calculated structures were tested by the observed diffraction conditions and two possible ordered structures were suggested, a ground-state triclinic x=0.0625 and an I-centered cubic x=0.375.

AB We present observations from the NOAA-15 MEPED telescopes during a radiation belt depletion event on January 19-20, 2000 to investigate the spatial extent of electron precipitation during this interval. Precipitation mapped to the equatorial plane was confined to radial distances less than similar to 6.5 Earth radii, indicating that precipitation was not the direct cause of the decrease in trapped flux observed by GOES. We found an enhanced day-night magnetic field asymmetry during the event, suggesting that magnetopause losses may have been responsible. Precipitation at lower L-values was observed by POES on the dusk passes (18:30-21:00 MLT), but not on the dawn passes, and was observed in conjugate hemispheres. These observations suggest that both precipitation and magnetopause losses were acting during this flux depletion event. Citation: Millan, R. M., K. B. Yando, J. C. Green, and A. Y.

AB The IONS-04, IONS-06, and ARC-IONS ozone sounding campaigns over North America in 2004, 2006, and 2008 obtained approximately 1400 profiles, in five series of coordinated and closely spaced (typically daily) launches. Although this coverage is unprecedented, it is still somewhat sparse in its geographical spacing. Here we use forward and back trajectory calculations for each sounding to map ozone measurements to a number of other locations and so to fill in the spatial domain. This is possible because the lifetime of ozone in the troposphere is of the order of weeks. The trajectory-mapped ozone values show reasonable agreement, where they overlap, to the actual soundings, and the patterns produced separately by forward and backward trajectory calculations are similar. Comparisons with MOZAIC profiles and surface station data show generally good agreement. A variable-length smoothing algorithm is used to fill data gaps: for each point on the map, the smoothing radius is such that a minimum of 10 data points are included in the average. The total tropospheric ozone column maps calculated by integrating the smoothed fields agree well with similar maps derived from TOMS and OMI/MLS measurements. The resulting three-dimensional picture of the tropospheric ozone field for the INTEX and ARCTAS periods facilitates visualization and comparison of different years and seasons and will be useful to other researchers.

AB The dephasing and population decay dynamics of optical phonons are studied for semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using broadband time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and time-resolved incoherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. By simply adjusting the spectral bandwidth of a continuum pulse, we are able to directly measure both the total dephasing time, T(2), and the population decay time, T(1), of the G-band sequentially in the same sample, which allows for one to exclude artifacts due to comparison of dynamics values measured with different sample conditions and different measurement schemes. The values of T(1) and T(2)/2 are presented for two different SWCNT samples: bundles in a film on glass and a dispersion in water. While the measured T(1) values are similar for the two samples, the pure dephasing times, T*(2)/2, determined from the T(2)/2 and T(1) measurements are faster in bundled SWCNTs than in isolated dispersion. This suggests that neighboring tubes in the film perturbs the vibrational mode more strongly than surrounding surfactants and that the pure dephasing dynamics is more sensitive to the perturbation.

AB The spectrum of quantum dots made from semiconductors such as HgTe and HgS changes from negative gap to positive gap with decreasing size. Furthermore, intrinsic surface states, which are not related to dangling bonds, appear in the negative-gap regime. We investigate theoretically the evolution of the spectrum of HgS quantum dots with decreasing size and show how states evolve from a negative gap to a positive gap as confinement is increased. The lowest confined electron level evolves into an intrinsic surface state with increasing size and, thus, is not derived directly from a bulk HgS band. Due to strong band mixing in narrow-gap semiconductors, spacing between confined levels decreases more slowly with increasing size than for quantum dots made from wide-gap semiconductors. Moreover, dielectric screening becomes nearly metallic as the gap closes. As a consequence, confinement energies dominate exciton binding energies for all dot sizes up to the gap closure. Excitons remain in the strong confinement limit as size increases until the gap closes. Nonetheless, the exciton binding exceeds the single-particle gap for sizes near gap closure, opening up the possibility of an excitonic insulator phase in quantum dots not possible in positive-gap quantum dots. Signatures in the quantum-dot optical response for gap collapse and surface states are identified.

AB The feasibility of the use of piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printing to prepare test materials for trace explosive analysis is demonstrated. RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazcyclohexane) was formulated into inkjet printable solutions and jetted onto substrates suitable for calibration of the ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) instruments currently deployed worldwide for contraband screening. Gravimetric analysis, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy were used to verify inkjet printer solution concentrations and the quantity of explosive dispensed onto test materials. Reproducibility of the inkjet printing process for mass deposition of the explosive RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5 triazcyclohexane) was determined to be better than 2% for a single day of printing and better than 3% day-to-day.

AB Dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) has been recognized as dominant components in total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) pools in many coastal waters, and its exchange between sediment and water is an important process in biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was employed as a model DOP compound to simulate phosphorus exchange across sediment-water interface in Florida Bay. The sorption data from 40 stations were fitted to a modified Freundlich equation and provided a detailed spatial distribution both of the sediment's zero equilibrium phosphorus concentration (EPC(0-T)) and of the distribution coefficient (K(d-T)) with respect to TDP. The K(d-T) was found to be a function of the index of phosphorus saturation (IPS), a molar ratio of the surface reactive phosphorus to the surface reactive iron oxide content in the sediment, across the entire bay. However, the EPC(0-T) was found to correlate to the contents of phosphorus in the eastern bay only. Sediment in the western bay might act as a source of the phosphorus in the exchange process due to their high EPC(0-T) and low K(d-T), whereas sediments in the eastern bay might act as a sink because of their low EPC(0-T) and high K(d-T). These results strongly support the hypothesis that both phosphorus and iron species in calcareous marine sediments play a critical role in governing the sediment-water exchange of both phosphate and DOP in the coastal and estuarine ecosystems.

AB Water quality measurement error and variability, while well-documented in laboratory-scale studies, is rarely acknowledged or explicitly resolved in most model-based water body assessments, including those conducted in compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program. Consequently, proposed pollutant loading reductions in TMDLs and similar water quality management programs may be biased, resulting in either slower-than-expected rates of water quality restoration and designated use reinstatement or, in some cases, overly conservative management decisions. To address this problem, we present a hierarchical Bayesian approach for relating actual in situ or model-predicted pollutant concentrations to multiple sampling and analysis procedures, each with distinct sources of variability. We apply this method to recently approved TMDLs to investigate whether appropriate accounting for measurement error and variability will lead to different management decisions. We find that required pollutant loading reductions may in fact vary depending not only on how measurement variability is addressed but also on which water quality analysis procedure is used to assess standard compliance. As a general strategy, our Bayesian approach to quantifying variability may represent an alternative to the common practice of addressing all forms of uncertainty through an arbitrary margin of safety (MOS).

AB A Bloom filter is a space-efficient data structure used for probabilistic set membership testing. When testing an object for set membership, a Bloom filter may give a false positive. The analysis of the false positive rate is a key to understanding the Bloom filter and applications that use it. We show experimentally that the classic analysis for false positive rate is wrong. We formally derive a correct formula using a balls-and-bins model and show how to numerically compute the new, correct formula in a stable manner. We also prove that the new formula always results in a predicted greater false positive rate than the classic formula. This correct formula is numerically compared to the classic formula for relative error - for a small Bloom filter the prediction of false positive rate will be in error when the classic formula is used.

TI Trends in tropospheric humidity from reanalysis systems

ID WATER-VAPOR FEEDBACK; CLIMATE FEEDBACKS; RADIOSONDE; PINATUBO; MODEL
AB A recent paper (Paltridge et al., 2009) found that specific humidity in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis declined between 1973 and 2007, particularly in the tropical mid and upper troposphere, the region that plays the key role in the water vapor feedback. If borne out, this result suggests potential problems in the consensus view of a positive water vapor feedback. Here we consider whether this result holds in other reanalyses and what time scale of climate fluctuation is associated with the negative specific humidity trends. The five reanalyses analyzed here (the older NCEP/NCAR and ERA40 reanalyses and the more modern Japanese Reanalysis (JRA), Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA), and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)-interim reanalyses) unanimously agree that specific humidity generally increases in response to short-term climate variations (e. g., El Nino). In response to decadal climate fluctuations, the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis is unique in showing decreases in tropical mid and upper tropospheric specific humidity as the climate warms. All of the other reanalyses show that decadal warming is accompanied by increases in mid and upper tropospheric specific humidity. We conclude from this that it is doubtful that these negative long-term specific humidity trends in the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis are realistic for several reasons. First, the newer reanalyses include improvements specifically designed to increase the fidelity of long-term trends in their parameters, so the positive trends found there should be more reliable than in the older reanalyses. Second, all of the reanalyses except the NCEP/NCAR assimilate satellite radiances rather than being solely dependent on radiosonde humidity measurements to constrain upper tropospheric humidity. Third, the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis exhibits a large bias in tropical upper tropospheric specific humidity. And finally, we point out that there exists no theoretical support for having a positive short-term water vapor feedback and a negative long-term one.

AB A Whole Atmosphere Model (WAM) has been used to explore the possible physical connection between a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) and the dynamics and electrodynamics of the lower thermosphere. WAM produces SSWs naturally without the need for external forcing. The classical signatures of an SSW appear in the model with a warming of the winter polar stratosphere, a reversal of the temperature gradient, and a breakdown of the stratospheric polar vortex. Substantial changes in the amplitude of stationary planetary wave numbers 1, 2, and 3 occur as the zonal mean zonal wind evolves. The simulations also show a cooling in the mesosphere and a warming in the lower thermosphere consistent with observations. The magnitude of this particular SSW is modest, belonging to the category of minor warming. In the lower thermosphere the amplitude of diurnal, semidiurnal, and terdiurnal, eastward and westward propagating tidal modes change substantially during the event. Since the magnitude of the warming is minor and the tidal interactions with the mean flow and planetary waves are complex, the one-to-one correspondence between tidal amplitudes in the lower thermosphere and the zonal mean and stationary waves in the stratosphere is not entirely obvious. The increase in the magnitude of the terdiurnal tide (TW3) in the lower thermosphere has the clearest correlation with the SSW, although the timing appears delayed by about three days. The fast group velocity of the long vertical wavelength TW3 tide would suggest a faster onset for the direct propagation of the tide from the lower atmosphere. It is possible that changes in the magnitude of the diurnal and semidiurnal tides, with their slower vertical propagation, may interact in the lower thermosphere to introduce a terdiurnal tide with a longer delay. An increase in TW3 in the lower thermosphere would be expected to alter the local time variation of the electrodynamic response. The day-to-day changes in the lower thermosphere winds from WAM are shown to introduce variability in the magnitude of dayside low latitude electric fields, with a tendency during the warming for the dayside vertical drift to be larger and occur earlier, and for the afternoon minimum to be smaller. The numerical simulations suggest that it is quite feasible that a major SSW, with a magnitude seen in January 2009, could cause large changes in lower thermosphere electrodynamics and hence in total electron content.

AB We introduce a general method for designing tailored lattices of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms on the basis of patterned permanently magnetized films. A fast numerical algorithm is used to automatically generate patterns that provide optimal atom confinement while respecting desired lattice symmetries and trap parameters. The algorithm can produce finite and infinite lattices of any plane symmetry; we focus specifically on square and triangular lattices, which are of interest for future experiments. Typical trap parameters, as well as the impact of realistic imperfections such as finite lithographic resolution and magnetic inhomogeneity, are discussed. The designer lattices presented open new avenues for quantum simulation and quantum information processing with ultracold atoms on atom chips.

ID COUPLED CLIMATE MODELS; NORTH-ATLANTIC; VARIABILITY; ENSEMBLE
AB The North Atlantic is among the few places where decadal climate variations are considered potentially predictable. The physical mechanisms of the decadal variability are hypothesized to be associated with fluctuations of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Perfect model predictability experiments using the GFDL CM2.1 climate model are analyzed to investigate the potential predictability of the AMOC. Results indicate that the AMOC is predictable up to 20 years. We further connect AMOC predictability to readily observable fields. We show that modeled surface and subsurface signatures of AMOC variations defined by characteristic patterns of sea surface height, subsurface temperature, and upper ocean heat content anomalies, have a potential predictability similar to the AMOC's. Since we have longer observational records for these quantities than for direct measurements of the AMOC, our study highlights a potentially new promising method for monitoring AMOC variations, and hence assessing the predictability of the real climate system.

AB Recent studies based on ocean and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) observations, suggesting that the ocean carbon uptake has been reduced, may help explain the increase in the fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions that remain in the atmosphere. Is it a response to climate change or a signal of ocean natural variability or both? Regional process analyses are needed to follow the ocean carbon uptake and to enable better attributions of the observed changes. Here, we describe the evolution of the surface ocean CO2 fugacity (fCO(2)(oc)) over the period 1993-2008 in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (NASPG). This analysis is based primarily on observations of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) conducted at different seasons in the NASPG between Iceland and Canada. The fCO(2)(oc) trends based on DIC and TA data are also compared with direct fCO(2) measurements obtained between 2003 and 2007 in the same region. During winters 1993-2003, the fCO(2)(oc) growth rate was 3.7 (+/-0.6) mu atm yr(-1), higher than in the atmosphere, 1.8 (+/-0.1) mu atm yr(-1). This translates to a reduction of the ocean carbon uptake primarily explained by sea surface warming, up to 0.24 (+/-0.04) C yr(-1). This warming is a consequence of advection of warm water northward from the North Atlantic into the Irminger basin, which occurred as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index moved into a negative phase in winter 1995/1996. In winter 2001-2008, the fCO(2)(oc) rise was particularly fast, between 5.8 (+/-1.1) and 7.2 (+/-1.3) mu atm yr(-1) depending on the region, more than twice the atmospheric growth rate of 2.1 (+/-0.2) mu atm yr(-1), and in the winter of 2007-2008 the area was supersaturated with CO2. As opposed to the 1990s, this appears to be almost entirely due to changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, the combination of increasing DIC and decreasing of TA. The rapid fCO(2)(oc) increase was not only driven by regional uptake of anthropogenic CO2 but was also likely controlled by a recent increase in convective processes-vertical mixing in the NASPG and cannot be directly associated with NAO variability. The fCO(2)(oc) increase observed in 2001-2008 leads to a significant drop in pH of -0.069 (+/-0.007) decade(-1).

AB We develop an experimental approach to analyze the water distribution around a core-shell micelle formed by polystyrene-block-poly[styrene-g-poly(ethylene oxide (PEO)] block copolymers in aqueous media at a fixed polymeric concentration of 10 mg/ml through contrast variation small angle neutron scattering (SANS) study. Through varying the D(2)O/H(2)O ratio, the scattering contributions from the water molecules and the micellar constituent components can be determined. Based on the commonly used core-shell model, a theoretical coherent scattering cross section incorporating the effect of water penetration is developed and used to analyze the SANS I(Q). We have successfully quantified the intramicellar water distribution and found that the overall micellar hydration level increases with the increase in the molecular weight of hydrophilic PEO side chains. Our work presents a practical experimental means for evaluating the intramacromolecular solvent distributions of general soft matter systems. (c) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

AB Many technologies based on cells containing alkali-metal atomic vapor benefit from the use of antirelaxation surface coatings in order to preserve atomic spin polarization. In particular, paraffin has been used for this purpose for several decades and has been demonstrated to allow an atom to experience up to 10 000 collisions with the walls of its container without depolarizing, but the details of its operation remain poorly understood. We apply modern surface and bulk techniques to the study of paraffin coatings in order to characterize the properties that enable the effective preservation of alkali spin polarization. These methods include Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We also compare the light-induced atomic desorption yields of several different paraffin materials. Experimental results include the determination that crystallinity of the coating material is unnecessary, and the detection of CvC double bonds present within a particular class of effective paraffin coatings. Further study should lead to the development of more robust paraffin antirelaxation coatings, as well as the design and synthesis of new classes of coating materials.

ID GROUND ELECTRONIC-STATE; POLAR-MOLECULES; ANGSTROM
AB We consider ultracold, chemically reactive scattering collisions of the diatomic molecules KRb. When two such molecules collide in an ultracold gas, we find that they are energetically forbidden from reacting to form the trimer species K(2)Rb or Rb(2)K, and hence can only react via the bond-swapping reaction 2 KRb -> K(2) + Rb(2). Moreover, the tiny energy released in this reaction can in principle be set to zero by applying electric or microwave fields, implying a means of controlling the available reaction channels in a chemical reaction.

TI Ferromagnetically Coupled Shastry-Sutherland Quantum Spin Singlets in
(CuCl)LaNb2O7
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS

DT Article
ID FRUSTRATED SQUARE-LATTICE; AUGMENTED-WAVE METHOD; CL
AB A thorough crystal structure determination at very low temperature of (CuCl)LaNb2O7, originally proposed as a spin-1/2 square-lattice antiferromagnet, is reported thanks to the use of single-crystal x-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction. State-of-the-art calculations (maximum entropy method) reveal that (CuCl)LaNb2O7 is orthorhombic with Pbam symmetry. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the dominant magnetic interactions are antiferromagnetic between fourth nearest neighbors with a Cu-Cl-Cl-Cu exchange path, which lead to the formation of spin singlets. The two strongest interactions between the singlets are ferromagnetic, which makes (CuCl)LaNb2O7 the first system of ferromagnetically coupled Shastry-Sutherland quantum spin singlets.

AB Mean surface ocean conditions in the Caribbean were up to similar to 2 degrees C cooler than today at times during the Little Ice Age. The seasonal context for such mean state changes is important for determining the mechanisms involved. We reconstructed surface ocean conditions in southwest Puerto Rico at approximately monthly resolution over eight 4-12 year periods during the last similar to 520 years to test if the seasonal cycles of temperature or salinity varied with mean state. We carried out paired analyses of Sr/Ca and delta O-18 for two coral cores. The delta O-18 data contained clear annual cycles and were significantly correlated to temperature during the 20th century calibration periods (1993-2004 and 1902-1912, r = 0.73). The Sr/Ca data contained high-frequency noise that obscured the seasonal cycles, although the centennial variability matched that of the coral delta O-18, indicating a common forcing that is likely temperature. The seasonal coral delta O-18 amplitude averaged 0.60 +/- 0.17 parts per thousand, with none of the periods significantly different from the most recent. The simplest explanation is that the amplitudes of seasonal seawater delta O-18 and temperature variations were not different from today. Previous work in the southern Caribbean indicates that the Intertropical Convergence Zone was shifted southward or weaker during the Little Ice Age, and we speculate about how this could occur with no apparent affect on seasonality in the northern Caribbean.

AB The impact of stratospheric ozone on the tropospheric general circulation of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is examined with a set of chemistry-climate models participating in the Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC)/Chemistry-Climate Model Validation project phase 2 (CCMVal-2). Model integrations of both the past and future climates reveal the crucial role of stratospheric ozone in driving SH circulation change: stronger ozone depletion in late spring generally leads to greater poleward displacement and intensification of the tropospheric midlatitude jet, and greater expansion of the SH Hadley cell in the summer. These circulation changes are systematic as poleward displacement of the jet is typically accompanied by intensification of the jet and expansion of the Hadley cell. Overall results are compared with coupled models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4), and possible mechanisms are discussed. While the tropospheric circulation response appears quasi-linearly related to stratospheric ozone changes, the quantitative response to a given forcing varies considerably from one model to another. This scatter partly results from differences in model climatology. It is shown that poleward intensification of the westerly jet is generally stronger in models whose climatological jet is biased toward lower latitudes. This result is discussed in the context of quasi-geostrophic zonal mean dynamics.

AB Reverse Monte Carlo refinements with combined input from neutron/x-ray total scattering and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) were applied to analyze local atomic displacements in perovskite-related AgNbO3. This compound exhibits complex displacive order-disorder behavior that determines the unique dielectric properties of AgNbO3-based ceramics. Our results revealed that the total scattering and EXAFS data collected from polycrystalline samples were insufficient to reproduce the correlated local Nb displacements which are evident from the diffuse scattering observed in electron diffraction. A credible representation of the AgNbO3 structure was obtained by enforcing these correlations via restraints on the atomic moves, thus ensuring that the refined atomic ensemble not only satisfied the total scattering and EXAFS data (a total of five datasets) but also reproduced the shape of the observed electron diffuse scattering. Such constrained RMC refinements revealed two-site positional disorder for each of the two non-equivalent Ag crystallographic positions. The refinements confirmed that all Ag cations in AgNbO3 exhibit similar local Ag-O coordination environments as opposed to the two distinct Ag coordinations in the average Pbcm structure. These results support the existence of Ag order-disorder behavior similar to that observed for Nb.

The results were correlated with electrical resistance measurements. The chemical composition of GO was C-8(OH)(3)O-0.8 and reduced to C-8(OH)(0.5)O-0.3 after nearly 24 h of low-temperature processing, defined as 220 degrees C. The sheet resistance of dropcast GO thin films processed at 220 degrees C in air was 8 k Omega sq(-1), similar to GO reduced at >800 degrees C in an inert atmosphere.

AB Three sets of Autonomous Temperature Line Acquisition Systems were deployed in the South China Sea. Gaps aside, the data covered nearly 3 years at the northern station and about 2 years farther south. Fluctuations ranged from episodic to interannual. Internal tides, more diurnal than semidiurnal, were active basinwide. Twelve typhoons passed during measurement periods. The most severe one, typhoon Babs in 1998, caused a temperature drop of over 7 degrees C at 50 m. Despite strong monsoons, only near-surface temperature showed clear seasonal variations. Intraseasonal variations induced by mesoscale eddy stood out much better at subsurface depths. Propagating eddies aside, some eddies were seasonal and nearly stationary. From daily archives of an eddy-resolving, data-assimilating ocean model ( East Asian Seas Nowcast/Forecast System), we identified two paradigms leading to the generation of a persistent spring-summer warm eddy in the central-western basin. In normal years, a complete cyclonic gyre was driven by a strong winter northeast monsoon. Water piled up along the periphery of the South China Sea. Afterward, a warm eddy could be generated from west of Luzon Island and propagated westward while intensifying. Under a weak northeast monsoon, such as in El Nino years, piled-up water tended to stay in the southern basin. When the wind relaxed in spring, warm water returned northward to form a warm eddy in the central-western basin. Transition from SW to NE monsoon also often led to a warm eddy generation in southern latitudes, when the summer eastward jet departing from central Vietnam broke up.

AB The morphology of a series of diblock copolymers comprising randomly still-ciliated polystyrene (PSS) and polymethylbutylene (PMB) blocks equilibrated with humid air was determined by in situ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). In-situ SANS data were collected over a wide angular range permitting the determination of the superstructure of the hydrophilic PSS-rich and hydrophobic PMB-rich domains and the substructure within the hydrophilic PSS-rich domains. When the characteristic length oldie superstructure is larger than 10 nm, the hydrophilic PSS domains :ire heterogeneous with periodically arranged watery domains. The scattering signature of the watery domains is very similar to the well-established "ionomer peak". This peak vanishes when the neutron scattering length density or the water (H(2)O/D(2)O mixture) is matched to that of the PSS block. The spacing between watery domains depends only on sulfonation level of the PSS block. When the characteristic length of the superstructure is less than 10 nm, the watery substructure disappears and homogeneous hydrated PSS-rich domains are obtained.

AB Nanostructures created in polymer films by nanoimprint lithography are subject to large stresses, both those from the imprinting processes as well as stresses arising from the intrinsic thermodynamic instabilities. These stresses can induce nanostructure deformations that compromise the intended function of the imprinted pattern. Controlling these stresses, and thus the stability of the imprinted patterns, is a key scientific issue for this technology. The requirement of film stability against dewetting requires the use of entangled polymer films, which necessitates an understanding of complex viscoelastic response of these materials to large stresses. Here we investigate the evolution of the surface topography of nanoimprinted patterns in polystyrene films through a high throughput annealing approach in which the patterns are annealed for a fixed time on a controlled temperature gradient. Using principles of time-temperature superposition we systematically explore the effect of varying basic system variables such as pattern feature size, polymer molecular mass, imprinting temperature. on nanopattern stability, and on the evolution of imprinted patterns driven by surface tension and internal stress. Nanostructure collapse generally occurs through a combination of a "slumping'' instability, where the imprinted film simply relaxes toward it planar film and the pattern height decreases with time, and a lateral "zigzag" instability in the nanoimprinted lines.

AB We have recently shown that silica nanopartieles grafted with polystyrene chains behave akin to block copolymers due to the "dislike" between the nanoparticles and the grafts. These decorated nanoparticles, thus, sell-assemble into various morphologies, from well-dispersed nanoparticles to anisotropic superstructures, when they are placed in homopolystyrene matrices of different molecular masses. Here, we consider a slightly different case, where the grafted chains and the matrix (both PM MA) are strongly attracted to the silica nanoparticle surface. We then conjecture that these systems show phase mixing or demixing depending on the miscibility between the brush and matrix chains ("autophobic dewetting"). At 15 mass % particle loading, composites created using the same grafted nanoparticle, hut with two different matrices, yield well dispersed nanoparticles or nanoparticle "agglomerates", respectively. Rheoloey experiments show that the composites display solid-like behavior only when the particles are aggregated. As deduced in previous work, this difference in behavior is attributed to the presence of percolating particle clusters in the agglomerated samples which allows for stress propagation through the system. Going further, we compare the local mobility of matrix and grafted segments of both composites using quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments. For the liquid-like system, the mean square displacements of the grafted chains and matrix chains, the particle structuring and mechanical response are all unaffected by annealing time. In contrast, in the reinforced case, only the local matrix motion is unaffected by time. Since the particle clustering and solid-like mechanical reinforcement increase with increasing time, we conclude that mechanical reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites is purely based on the nanoparticles, with essentially no "interference" from the matrix. In conjunction with other results in the literature, we then surmise that mechanical reinforcement is caused by the bridging of particles by the grafted polymer layers and not due to the formation of "glassy" polymer layers on the nanoparticles.

AB Two coherent frequency combs are used to measure the full complex response of a sample in a configuration analogous to a dispersive Fourier transform spectrometer, infrared time domain spectrometer, or a multiheterodyne laser spectrometer. This dual-comb spectrometer retains the frequency accuracy and resolution of the reference underlying the stabilized combs. We discuss the specific design of our coherent dual-comb spectrometer and demonstrate the potential of this technique by measuring the overtone vibration of hydrogen cyanide, centered at 194 THz (1545 nm). We measure the fully normalized, complex response of the gas over a 9 THz bandwidth at 220 MHz frequency resolution yielding 41,000 resolution elements. The average spectral signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over the 9 THz bandwidth is 2500 for both the magnitude and phase of the measured spectral response and the peak SNR is 4000. This peak SNR corresponds to a fractional absorption sensitivity of 0.05% and a phase sensitivity of 250 microradians. As the spectral coverage of combs expands, coherent dual-comb spectroscopy could provide high-frequency accuracy and resolution measurements of a complex sample response across a range of spectral regions.

AB Inelastic neutron scattering from superconducting (SC) Ba (Fe0.926Co0.074)(2)As-2 reveals anisotropic and quasi-two-dimensional (2D) magnetic excitations close to Q(AFM)=(1/21/2) - the 2D antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave vector of the parent BaFe2As2 compound. The correlation length anisotropy of these low-energy fluctuations is consistent with spin nematic correlations in the J(1)-J(2) model with J(1)/J(2)similar to 1. The spin resonance at similar to 8.3 meV in the SC state displays the same anisotropy. The anisotropic fluctuations experimentally evolve into two distinct maxima only along the direction transverse to Q(AFM) above similar to 80 meV indicating unusual quasipropagating excitations.

AB Substantial changes in population size, age structure, and urbanization are expected in many parts of the world this century. Although such changes can affect energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, emissions scenario analyses have either left them out or treated them in a fragmentary or overly simplified manner. We carry out a comprehensive assessment of the implications of demographic change for global emissions of carbon dioxide. Using an energy-economic growth model that accounts for a range of demographic dynamics, we show that slowing population growth could provide 16-29% of the emissions reductions suggested to be necessary by 2050 to avoid dangerous climate change. We also find that aging and urbanization can substantially influence emissions in particular world regions.

AB We present a first implementation of optical-frequency-comb-based rapid trace gas detection in the molecular fingerprint region in the mid-infrared. Near-real-time acquisition of broadband absorption spectra with 0.0056 cm(-1) maximum resolution is demonstrated using a frequency comb Fourier transform spectrometer which operates in the 2100-to-3700-cm(-1) spectral region. We achieve part-per-billion detection limits in 30 seconds of integration time for several important molecules including methane, ethane, isoprene, and nitrous oxide. Our system enables precise concentration measurements even in gas mixtures that exhibit continuous absorption bands, and it allows detection of molecules at levels below the noise floor via simultaneous analysis of multiple spectral features.

AB Studies of climate change increasingly recognize the diverse influences exerted by terpenes in the atmosphere, including roles in particulates, ozone formation, and their oxidizing potential. Measurements of key terpenes suggest atmospheric concentrations ranging from low pmol/mol (parts per trillion) to nmol/mol (parts per billion), depending on location and compound. To accurately establish concentration trends, assess the role of terpenes in atmospheric chemistry, and relate measurement records from many laboratories and researchers, it is essential to have good calibration standards. The feasibility of preparing well-characterized, stable gas cylinder standards for terpenes at the nmol/mol level is not yet well established. Several of the world's National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) are researching the feasibility of developing primary and secondary reference gas standards at the nmol/mol level for terpenes. The US NMI, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has prepared several nmol/mol mixtures, in treated aluminum gas cylinders, containing terpenes in dry nitrogen at nominal 5 nmol/mol for stability studies. Overall, 11 terpenes were studied for stability. An initial gas mixture containing nine terpenes, one oxygenate, and six aromatic compounds, including benzene as an internal standard, was prepared. Results for four of the nine terpenes in this initial mixture indicate stability in these treated aluminum gas cylinders for over 6 months and project long term (years) stability. Interesting results were seen for beta-pinene, which when using a linear equation rate decline predicts that it will reach a zero concentration level at day 416. At the same time, increases in alpha-pinene, D-limonene (R-(+)-limonene), and p-cymene were observed, including camphene, a terpene not prepared in the gas mixture, indicating a chemical transformation of beta-pinene to these species. Additional mixtures containing combination of either alpha-pinene, camphor, alpha-terpinene, and benzene indicate a second-order quadratic rate decline for the alpha-pinene and alpha-terpinene, a linear rate decline for camphor, and a second-order quadratic rate increase of camphene.

AB Spaceborne measurements by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the EOS/Aqua satellite provide a global view of the methane (CH4) distribution in the mid-upper troposphere (MUT-CH4). The focus of this study is to examine the spatiotemporal variation of MUT-CH4 in the high Northern Hemisphere (HNH) using AIRS retrievals, aircraft measurements, and simulations from a forward chemistry-transport model (i.e., ACTM). Data from 2004 and 2005 focusing over two regions (Alaska and Siberia) are analyzed. An important feature in the seasonal variation of CH4 we found is the summer increase of MUT-CH4, which is nearly opposite to the summer minimum of CH4 in the marine boundary layer (MBL). This study also demonstrated an apparent increase of CH4 over Alaska associated with the 2004 Alaska forest fire and a negative bias of the ACTM simulations in the HNH. The larger bias of the model simulations in the late winter to early spring may indicate possible unidentified CH4 emission sources (e. g., the use of energy or gas leakage) during this period, but more studies will be needed due to the retrieval uncertainties in the polar winter season. The summer increase of MUT-CH4 is related to surface emission, but the enhanced convection in summer is likely the most important driver.

ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION MODEL; SURFACE-TEMPERATURE; GREENHOUSE GASES;
SENSITIVITY; AEROSOLS; SYSTEM
AB The distances over which localized radiative forcing influences surface temperature have not been well characterized. We present a general methodology to analyze the spatial scales of the forcing/response relationship and apply it to simulations of historical aerosol forcing and response in four climate models. We find that the surface temperature response is not strongly sensitive to the longitude of forcing but is fairly sensitive to latitude. Surface temperature responses in the Arctic and the Southern Hemisphere extratropics, where forcing was small, show little relationship to local forcing. Restricting the analysis to 30 degrees S-60 degrees N, where nearly all the forcing was applied, shows that forcing strongly influences response out to similar to 4500 km away examining all directions. The meridional length of influence is somewhat shorter (similar to 3500 km or 30 degrees), while it extends out to at least 12,000 km in the zonal direction. Substantial divergences between the models are seen over the oceans, whose physical representations differ greatly among the models. Length scales are quite consistent over 30 degrees S-60 degrees N land areas, however, despite differences in both the forcing applied and the physics of the models themselves. The results suggest that better understanding of regionally inhomogeneous radiative forcing would lead to improved projections of regional climate change over land areas. They also provide quantitative estimates of the spatial extent of the climate impacts of pollutants, which can extend thousands of kilometers beyond polluted areas, especially in the zonal direction.

AB Magnetic correlations near the magnetostructural phase transition in the bilayer iron-pnictide parent compound, BaFe2As2, are measured. In close proximity to the antiferromagnetic phase transition in BaFe2As2, a crossover to three-dimensional critical behavior is anticipated and has been preliminarily observed. Here we report complementary measurements of two-dimensional magnetic fluctuations over a broad temperature range about T-N. The potential role of two-dimensional critical fluctuations in the magnetic phase behavior of BaFe2As2 and their evolution near the anticipated crossover to three-dimensional critical behavior and long-range order are discussed.

TI Volcanic ash fuels anomalous plankton bloom in subarctic northeast

AB Using multiple lines of evidence, we demonstrate that volcanic ash deposition in August 2008 initiated one of the largest phytoplankton blooms observed in the subarctic North Pacific. Unusually widespread transport from a volcanic eruption in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska deposited ash over much of the subarctic NE Pacific, followed by large increases in satellite chlorophyll. Surface ocean pCO(2), pH, and fluorescence reveal that the bloom started a few days after ashfall. Ship-based measurements showed increased dominance by diatoms. This evidence points toward fertilization of this normally iron-limited region by ash, a relatively new mechanism proposed for iron supply to the ocean. The observations do not support other possible mechanisms. Extrapolation of the pCO2 data to the area of the bloom suggests a modest similar to 0.01 Pg carbon export from this event, implying that even large-scale iron fertilization at an optimum time of year is not very efficient at sequestering atmospheric CO(2).

TI Response of Colorado River runoff to dust radiative forcing in snow

AB The waters of the Colorado River serve 27 million people in seven states and two countries but are overallocated by more than 10% of the river's historical mean. Climate models project runoff losses of 7-20% from the basin in this century due to human-induced climate change. Recent work has shown however that by the late 1800s, decades prior to allocation of the river's runoff in the 1920s, a fivefold increase in dust loading from anthropogenically disturbed soils in the southwest United States was already decreasing snow albedo and shortening the duration of snow cover by several weeks. The degree to which this increase in radiative forcing by dust in snow has affected timing and magnitude of runoff from the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) is unknown. Here we use the Variable Infiltration Capacity model with postdisturbance and pre-disturbance impacts of dust on albedo to estimate the impact on runoff from the UCRB across 1916-2003. We find that peak runoff at Lees Ferry, Arizona has occurred on average 3 wk earlier under heavier dust loading and that increases in evapotranspiration from earlier exposure of vegetation and soils decreases annual runoff by more than 1.0 billion cubic meters or similar to 5% of the annual average. The potential to reduce dust loading through surface stabilization in the deserts and restore more persistent snow cover, slow runoff, and increase water resources in the UCRB may represent an important mitigation opportunity to reduce system management tensions and regional impacts of climate change.

AB We report on the noise of a lumped element direct current superconducting quantum interference device amplifier. We show that the noise temperature in the 4-8 GHz range over ranges of tens of megahertz is below 1 K (three photons of added noise), characterize the overall behavior of the noise as a function of bias parameters, and discuss potential mechanisms which determine the noise performance in this amplifier. We show that this device can provide more than a factor of 10 improvement in practical system noise over existing phase-preserving microwave measurement systems in this frequency band.

ID ELECTRONICS
AB We studied the contact properties of different metals to optically-transparent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films using fabrication processes compatible with flexible electronic applications. The SWCNT films are deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate and patterned in test structures optimized for contact resistance measurements for a particular metal contact. Specific contact resistance and current transfer length is determined for Pt, Cr, Cu, and Au contacts. We also evaluate effects of chemical doping and thickness of SWCNT films on the contact resistance. We find that the current transfer length, defining the minimal dimensions of efficient contacts to transparent SWCNT films, ranges from 8 X 10(-6) to 10(-4) m for different metals.

TI Variations in ozone depletion potentials of very short-lived substances
with season and emission region
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

DT Article
ID PARTICLE DISPERSION MODEL; STRATOSPHERE; TROPOSPHERE; CLIMATE
AB We present a new approach for calculating the fraction of very-short lived substances (VSLS) emitted at the surface (and their degradation products) that reach the stratosphere (beta) using the FLEXPART Lagrangian model. The values of beta play a key role in determining the efficiency of these compounds for depleting stratospheric ozone, and are used to estimate ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) of several short-lived compounds. Calculated beta and ODPs of VSLSs show large regional and seasonal variability owing to the importance of convective transport. For instance, beta and ODPs associated with emissions from the Indian subcontinent is an order of magnitude larger than that from Europe, mid-latitude North America, or East Asia. The seasonal cycle of beta is mainly driven by transport efficiency from the boundary layer into the tropical stratosphere; beta has a minimum in winter and a maximum in summer.

DT Article
ID SEA BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY; RADAR IMAGERY; NANTUCKET SHOALS; WAVES
AB Deep-water (>500 m) oceanic bathymetric features are frequently observed in RADARSAT-1 SAR images in the Gulf Stream (GS) region. They are imaged apparently because of the unique environmental conditions in the region, oceanographically characterized by a strong GS current (2 ms(-1)) and favorable ocean stratification. SAR image analysis shows the basic characteristics of these bathymetric features. A coincident sea surface temperature image shows that the bathymetric feature is only "visible" by SAR within the GS pathway. The dominant wavelength of the wave-like feature is about 2.3 km and their crests are perpendicular to the GS axis. Shipboard sounding measurements confirm the SAR observation. A theoretical consideration of the ocean current and corrugated bathymetry interaction in a 3-layer ocean is presented. Using representative ocean density profile data and the GS current data, we analyze the requirements for the generation and upward propagation of the disturbance induced by the current-bathymetry interaction.

AB Reports of hypoxic conditions (oxygen <1.5 ml L(-1)) off the U.S. west coast over the last two decades led us to investigate hypoxia in the Southern California Bight (SCB) and its potential impacts on fisheries. The secular trend in hypoxia in the SCB over the last 57 years is not monotonic, and reversed trend in the mid-1980s, bringing oxygen concentrations back to levels measured in the late 1950s to early 1960s. Thirty-seven percent of the rockfish (Sebastes spp.) habitat in the Cowcod Conservation Area at 240-350 m depths suffers exposure to hypoxia in the summer of normal years. If current trends in shoaling of low oxygen water continue for another 20 years, rather than reversing as happened previously, we predict loss of 18% of the habitat with 55% of the total habitat exposed to hypoxia.

AB Estimation of the time available for escape (ASET) in the event of a fire is a principal component in fire hazard or risk assessment. Valid data on the yields of toxic smoke components from bench-scale apparatus is essential to accurate ASET calculations This paper presents a methodology for obtaining pre-flashover and post-flashover toxicant yields from room-scale fire tests. The data are to be used for comparison with bench-scale data for the same combustibles: a sofa, bookcases, and electric power cable. Each was burned in a room with a long adjacent corridor. The yields of CO(2), CO, HCl, HCN, and soot were determined. Other toxicants (NO(2), formaldehyde, and acrolein), whose concentrations were below the detection limits, were of limited importance relative to the detected toxicants. The uncertainty values were comparable to those estimated for calculations used to determine ASET and were sufficiently small to determine whether a bench-scale apparatus is producing results that are similar to the real-scale results here. The use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was useful for obtaining toxicant concentration data; however, its operation and interpretation are not routine. The losses of CO, HCN, and HCl along the corridor were dependent on the combustible. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB Electron Beam Ion Traps (EBITs) can strip atoms to their electronic cores, revealing strong perturbations of the quantum vacuum that occur at electric field strengths comparable to those in petawatt lasers focused to their diffraction limit. Wavelengths of the D-lines in sodium-like ions measured previously using the NIST EBIT are discussed in terms of testing quantum electrodynamics in the high-field limit. The accuracy of our measurements in Au(68+) (0.03 eV), together with the estimated accuracy of a corresponding calculation (0.02 eV), provide a 0.6% test of QED, the most precise currently available in any sodium-like ion. This measurement tests the predictions of QED for sodium-like ions to more fractional accuracy than even the best results available in hydrogen-like uranium. For the case of Na-like Xe(43+), where a modest discrepancy exists between theory and measurements from three independent groups, an apparent collision-energy dependence is revealed which may account for the discrepancy.

AB We report a surface-directed vapor-liquid-solid process for planar growth of one-dimensional heterojunctions of zinc oxide on single crystal gallium nitride (GaN) that enables their hierarchical assembly to light emitting diodes. An individual heterojunction is about 10 mu m in length and 80 nm in width and is formed by planar growth of an n-type ZnO nanowire or nanowall on p-type GaN surface using Au catalyst. Our results show that a ZnO nanocrystal at its nucleation site has six possible growth directions that can be engineered and controlled using an intentional blockade of the nanocrystal growth in certain directions owing to similarities in crystal structures of ZnO and GaN. The ZnO nanowalls are formed when nanowires during their planar growth slowly grow in direction normal to the substrate via a self-catalytic process. The crystal structure of these heterojunctions is examined from two different crystallographic perspectives using high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Results indicate abrupt and epitaxial formation of n-p heterojunctions, which are difficult to achieve in thin film growth of these heterojunctions. The collective light emission of micrometer- to millimeter-size arrays of the heterojunctions is demonstrated via a simple design that is scalable to literally any platform size. This technique allows in situ growth and combinations of II-VI and III-V semiconductors and offers their easier integration to photonic and lab-on-chip platforms with applications in energy generation and light detection.

AB We benchmark the performance of a photoacoustic spectrometer with a calculable cell constant in applications related to climate change measurements. As presently implemented, this spectrometer has a detection limit of 3.1 x 10(-9) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2) for absorption by a gas and 1.5 x 10(-8) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2) for soot particles. Non-statistical uncertainty limited the accuracy of the instrument to similar to 1%, and measurements of the concentration of CO(2) in laboratory air agreed with measurements made using a cavity ring-down spectrometer, to within 1%. Measurements of the enhanced absorption resulting from ultrathin (<5 nm), nonabsorbing coatings on nanoscale soot particles demonstrate the sensitivity of this instrument. Together, these measurements show the instrument's ability to quantitatively measure the absorption coefficient for species of interest to the climate and atmospheric science communities. Because the system constant is known, in most applications the acoustic response of this instrument need not be calibrated against a sample of known optical density, a decided advantage in field applications. Routine enhancements, such as improved processing of the photoacoustic signal and higher laser beam power, should further increase the instrument's precision and sensitivity.

AB The curve used until recently by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) to represent the growth of western Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, was estimated using tagging information and modal sizes that corresponded primarily to very young fish (ages 1-3, primarily). The estimated maximum average size from this curve is very large (382 cm), which could be a result of the scarcity of large bluefin in the data used. Recently, scientists have developed techniques for reading ages from bluefin ear bones (otoliths); the accuracy of the age readings has been validated with bomb radiocarbon dating. These age readings are primarily for large bluefin (ages 5 and older), and indicate slower growth and older ages than was previously assumed. However, an analysis of these data resulted in growth curves that predicted very small mean sizes for the youngest age group, which could be a result of the lack of small fish in the data used. In this study, we combine the otolith-based age readings with the size frequency distributions of small (ages 1-3) bluefin caught by purse seiners in the 1970s where the age groups are distinctly statistically as well as visible to the eye. We analyzed the two datasets jointly using a maximum likelihood approach and assumed that variability in length-at-age increases with age. The resulting growth curve predicts sizes at young and old ages that are very consistent with observed data such as the maximum sizes observed in the catch and the modal sizes for very young bluefin. The resulting curve is also very similar to the curve used by ICCAT for eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin.

AB The nocturnal boundary layer in Houston, Texas was studied using a high temporal and vertical resolution tethersonde system on four nights during the Texas Air Quality Study II (TexAQS II) in August and September 2006. The launch site was on the University of Houston campus located approximately 4 km from downtown Houston. Of particular interest was the evolution of the nocturnal surface inversion and the wind flows within the boundary layer. The land-sea breeze oscillation in Houston has important implications for air quality as the cycle can impact ozone concentrations through pollutant advection and recirculation. The results showed that a weakly stable surface inversion averaging in depth between 145 and 200 m AGL formed on each of the experiment nights, typically within 2-3 h after sunset. Tethersonde vertical winds were compared with two other Houston data sets (High Resolution Doppler Lidar and radar wind profiler) from locations near the coastline and good agreement was found, albeit with a temporal lag at the tethersonde site. This comparison revealed development of a land breeze on three nights which began near the coastline and propagated inland both horizontally and vertically with time. The vertical temperature structure was significantly modified on one night at the tethersonde site after the land breeze wind shift, exhibiting near-adiabatic profiles below 100 m AGL.

AB Extensive aerosol optical properties, particle size distributions, and Aerodyne quadrupole aerosol mass spectrometer measurements collected during TRAMP/TexAQS 2006 were examined in light of collocated meteorological and chemical measurements. Much of the evident variability in the observed aerosol-related air quality is due to changing synoptic meteorological situations that direct emissions from various sources to the TRAMP site near the center of the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria (HGB) metropolitan area. In this study, five distinct long-term periods have been identified. During each of these periods, observed aerosol properties have implications that are of interest to environmental quality management agencies. During three of the periods, long range transport (LRT), both intra-continental and intercontinental, appears to have played an important role in producing the observed aerosol. During late August 2006, southerly winds brought super-micron Saharan dust and sea salt to the HGB area, adding mass to fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) measurements, but apparently not affecting secondary particle growth or gas-phase air pollution. A second type of LRT was associated with northerly winds in early September 2006 and with increased ozone and sub-micron particulate matter in the HGB area. Later in the study, LRT of emissions from wildfires appeared to increase the abundance of absorbing aerosols (and carbon monoxide and other chemical tracers) in the HGB area. However, the greatest impacts on Houston PM(2.5) air quality are caused by periods with low-wind-speed sea breeze circulation or winds that directly transport pollutants from major industrial areas, i.e., the Houston Ship Channel, into the city center.

AB Atmospheric mercury speciation was monitored within Houston, Texas, USA, August 6-October 14, 2006 as part of the TexAQS Radical and Aerosol Measurement Program (TRAMP). On average, all mercury levels were significantly elevated compared to a rural Gulf of Mexico coastal site. Concentrations varied from very clean to very dirty. Multi-day periods of stagnant or low-wind conditions brought elevated concentrations of all mercury species, whereas multi-day periods of strong winds, particularly southerly winds off the Gulf of Mexico, brought very low values of mercury species. Over the entire mercury measurement period, the daily averages of mercury species showed distinct and consistent relationships with the average planetary boundary layer dynamics, with gaseous elemental and particulate-bound mercury near-surface concentrations enhanced by a shallow nocturnal boundary layer, and reactive gaseous mercury concentration enhanced by midday convective boundary layer air entrainment transporting air aloft to the surface. Mercury concentrations were not significantly correlated with known products of combustion, likely indicating non-combustion mercury sources from the Houston area petrochemical complexes. On the morning of August 31, 2006 an observed emission event at a refinery complex on the Houston Ship Channel resulted in extremely high concentrations of aerosol mass and particulate-bound mercury at the TRAMP measurement site 20 km downwind.

AB Concentrations of CO, SO2, NO, NO2, and NOy were measured atop the University of Houston's Moody Tower supersite during the 2006 TexAQS-II Radical and Aerosol Measurement Project (TRAMP). The lowest concentrations of all primary and secondary species were observed in clean marine air in southerly flow. SO2 concentrations were usually low, but increased dramatically in sporadic midday plumes advected from sources in the Houston Ship Channel (HSC), located NE of the site. Concentrations of CO and NO displayed large diurnal variations in keeping with their co-emission by mobile sources in the Houston Metropolitan Area (HMA). CO/NOx emission ratios of 5.81 +/- 0.94 were observed in the morning rush hour. Nighttime concentrations of NOx (NOx = NO + NO2) and NOy (NOy = NO + NO2 + NO3 + HNO3 + HONO + 2*N2O5 + HO2NO2 + PANs + RONO2 + p-NO (3) over bar + ... ) were highest in winds from the NNW-NE due to emission from mobile sources. Median ratios of NOx/NOy were approximately 0.9 overnight, reflecting the persistence and/or generation of NOz (NOz = NOy - NOx) species in the nighttime Houston boundary layer, and approached unity in the morning rush hour. Daytime concentrations of NOx and NOy were highest in winds from the HSC. NO5/NOy ratios reached their minimum values (median ca 0.63) from 1300 to 1500 CST, near local solar noon, and air masses often retained enough NOx to sustain additional O-3 formation farther downwind. HNO3 and PANs comprised the dominant NO2 species in the HMA, and on a median basis represented 17-20% and 12-15% of NOy, respectively, at midday. Concentrations of HNO3, PANs, and NOz, and fractional contributions of these species to NOy, were at a maximum in NE flow, reflecting the source strength and reactivity of precursor emissions in the HSC. As a result, daytime O-3 concentrations were highest in air masses with HSC influence. Overall, our findings confirm the impact of the HSC as a dominant source region within the HMA. A comparison of total NOy measurements with the sum of measured NOy species (NOyi = NOx + HNO3 + PANs + HONO + p-NO (3) over bar) yielded excellent overall agreement during both day ([NOy](ppb) = ([ NOyi](ppb)*1.03 +/- 0.16) - 0.42; r(2) = 0.9933) and night ([NOy](ppb) = (([NOyi](ppb)*1.01 +/- .16) + 0.18: r(2) = 0.9975). A similar comparison between NOy-NOx concentrations and the sum of NOzi (NOzi = HNO3 + PANs + HONO + p-NO (3) over bar) yielded good overall agreement during the day ([NOz](PPb) = (([NOzi](PPb)*1.01 +/- 0.30) + 0.044 ppb; r(2) = 0.8527) and at night (([NOz](ppb) = ([NOzi](ppb)*1.12 +/- 0.69) + 0.16 ppb; r(2) = 0.6899). Median ratios of NOz/NOzi; were near unity during daylight hours but increased to approximately 1.2 overnight, a difference of 0.15-0.50 ppb.
Differences between NO2 and NOzi rarely exceeded combined measurement uncertainties, and variations in NOz/NOzi ratios may have resulted solely from errors in conversion efficiencies of NOy species and changes in NOy comosition. However, nighttime NOz/NOzi ratios and the magnitude of NO2 - NOzi differences were generally consistent with recent observations of ClNO2 in the nocturnal Houston boundary layer.

AB A radiative transfer model and photochemical box model are used to examine the effects of clouds and aerosols on actinic flux and photolysis rates, and the impacts of changes in photolysis rates on ozone production and destruction rates in a polluted urban environment like Houston, Texas. During the TexAQS-II Radical and Aerosol Measurement Project the combined cloud and aerosol effects reduced j(NO2) photolysis frequencies by nominally 17%, while aerosols reduced j(NO2) by 3% on six clear sky days. Reductions in actinic flux due to attenuation by clouds and aerosols correspond to reduced net ozone formation rates with a nearly one-to-one relationship. The overall reduction in the net ozone production rate due to reductions in photolysis rates by clouds and aerosols was approximately 8 ppbv h(-1). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved,

AB Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of the immune system that operate in both innate and adaptive branches of immunity. Activation of DC by numerous factors, such as danger signals, has been well established. However, modulation of DC functions through adhesion-based cues has only begun to be characterized. In this work, DCs were cultured on surfaces presenting a uniform gradient of the integrin-targeting RGD peptide generated using the recently established "universal gradient substrate for click biofunctionalization" methodology. Surface expression of activation markers (costimulatory molecule CD86 and stimulatory molecule MHC-II) and production of cytokines IL-10 and IL-12p40 of adherent DCs was quantified in situ. Additionally, bound alpha(V) integrin was quantified in situ using a biochemical cross-linking/extraction method. Our findings demonstrate that DCs upregulated CD86, MHC-II, IL-10, IL-12p40 and alpha(V) integrin binding as a function of RGD surface density, with production of IL-12p40 being the marker most sensitive to RGD surface density. Surface expression of activation markers demonstrated moderate correlation with alpha(V) integrin binding, while cytokine production was highly correlated with alpha(V) integrin binding. This work demonstrates the utility of the surface density gradient platform as a high-throughput method to investigate RGD density-dependent DC adhesive responses. Furthermore, this quantitative analysis of DC integrin-based activation represents a first of its type, helping to establish the field of adhesion-based modulation of DCs as a general mechanism that has previously not been defined, and informs the rational design of biomimetic biomaterials for immunomodulation.

AB Age, growth, and reproductive aspects of the great barracuda, Sphyraena barracuda (Walbaum, 1792), were examined in 467 individuals ranging from 182 to 1348 mm fork length (FL), collected in the vicinity of the Florida Keys from 1996 through 1998. Marginal increment analysis of sectioned sagittal otoliths indicated that a single annulus is formed each year during winter-spring. Male ages ranged from 0.7 to 11.3 yrs old, and female from 0.7 to 18.4 yrs old. The combined-sex von Bertalanffy growth model was L(t) = 1236.4(1-exp[-0.26(t + 0.71)]), and indicated faster growth than previous estimates. Most males matured between 1 and 2 yrs of age (626-806 mm fork length, FL) and females between 2 and 4 yrs of age (710-985 mm FL). Based on gonad analyses and monthly length-frequency histograms of 510 juveniles collected in Florida Bay from 1994 to 1996, spawning and ingress of young-of-the-year into shallow nearshore habitats occurs from spring through fall. These data differ from previous studies, and should be considered in future stock analyses of S. barracuda.

SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE

ID GULF-OF-MEXICO; 1ST RECORD; SHARK
AB The spined pygmy shark (Squaliolus laticaudus Smith and Radcliffe, 1912) is among the smallest known species of sharks and despite its wide distribution, fewer than 100 specimens have been reported globally. On 28 October 2007, 24 spined pygmy sharks, with total lengths ranging from 120 to 210 mm, were collected in a single deepwater trawl in the northern Gulf of Mexico. All specimens, with the exception of two females, were immature. Follicle conditions in the two mature females indicated that vitellogenesis and gestation are consecutive. The stomachs of six specimens contained single cephalopod or teleost prey. Our catch and examinations of museum accessed specimens confirm the questioned presence of spined pygmy sharks in the Gulf of Mexico and demonstrate that it is more widely distributed in the western North Atlantic Ocean than previously known.

AB The greatest rates of energy accumulation and growth in subyearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) occurred during the first month following ocean entry, supporting the importance of this critical period. Data from an 11-year study in the coastal ocean off California and the San Francisco Estuary revealed that juvenile salmon gained 3.2 kJ.day(-1) and 0.8 g.day(-1), representing 4.3%.day(-1) and 5.2% day(-1), respectively, relative to estuary exit values. Little gain in energy (0.28 kJ.day(-1)) or size (0.07 g.day(-1))occurred in the estuary, indicating that the nursery function typically ascribed to estuaries can be deferred to initial ocean residence. Calculated northern anchovies (Engraulis mordax) equivalents to meet energy gains were one anchovy per day in the estuary (8% body weight.day(-1)) and about three per day immediately following ocean entry (15% body weight.day(-1)). Energy content in the estuary was positively related to higher salinity and lower freshwater outflow, whereas in the ocean, cooler temperatures, lower sea level, and greater upwelling resulted in greater gains. These results suggest that greater freshwater flows, warmer sea temperatures, and reduced or delayed upwelling, all of which are indicated by some (but not all) climate models, will likely decrease growth of juvenile Chinook salmon, leading to reduced survival.

AB Hierarchical Bayesian meta-analysis can be a useful method for improving estimation of key parameters for harvested fish populations. In hierarchical models, data from multiple populations are used simultaneously to obtain estimates of parameters for individual populations and characterize the variability among populations. Many populations of Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) have declined off the US West Coast since the 1980s, and there is also concern for their conservation in Canada. We develop a hierarchical Bayesian meta-analysis to improve estimates of stock-recruit parameters, characterize management-related parameters (e.g., optimal harvest rate), and address uncertainties in the structural form of the stock-recruit function for Pacific rockfishes. We estimate steepness and optimal harvest rates for 14 populations of Pacific rockfishes under alternative assumptions about the underlying stock-recruit function (Beverton-Holt and Ricker). We provide a posterior predictive distribution of steepness for rockfishes that can be used as a prior in future assessments for similar populations. We also evaluate whether F(40%) is an appropriate proxy for F(MSY) for Pacific rockfishes and show that uncertainty in the natural mortality rate can have a significant effect on management advice derived from meta-analyses of stock-recruit data.

AB For those marine fish species with specific habitat preferences, a habitat-based assessment may provide an alternative to traditional surveys. We conducted a habitat-based acoustic and stereo image stock assessment survey for rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) on a rocky ridge habitat in the eastern Bering Sea. Video analysis suggested that juvenile and adult rockfishes were more abundant on the seafloor in the rocky ridge area than on the surrounding sandy flats. Over the ridges, the distribution of rockfishes was uniformly low in the water column during nighttime surveys and higher during daytime surveys. The opposite pattern was observed in the video on the seafloor between night (high density) and day (lower density), indicating that fish in the water column during the day moved to the seafloor at night. Mean biomass of adult rockfishes for the rocky ridges was 1.54 x 10(4) tonnes based on acoustic data. The biomass of juvenile fish was estimated to be 9.2 x 10(2) tonnes. Utilization of similar survey methodologies on a larger scale might improve assessment of rockfishes not only in Alaska, but also throughout their range where fishery-independent biomass estimates have been difficult to obtain.

AB Are smolt-to-adult return rates (SARs) for wild steelhead (i.e., sea-run rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss) and wild Snake River spring-summer Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) related to changes in the Columbia River plume at the time that juvenile migrants enter the ocean? We used three-dimensional (3D) numerical models of the baroclinic circulation in the Columbia River estuary-plume-shelf system to simulate within-season variation in plume size and location, comparing the results with SARs for each day that juvenile salmon entered the ocean for 1999-2003. We found that steelhead benefited from the plume environment at a narrow window of time around their ocean entry. However, when large-scale ocean conditions turned unfavorable, the contribution of local plume conditions to the overall variability in steelhead survival became not significant. A similar evaluation revealed that the plume did not affect survival of Chinook salmon, at least at the fine scale of variability considered. The differential response between the two species is consistent with observed and previously reported behavioral characteristics they exhibit. We speculate that steelhead mainly use the plume to move quickly away from coastal habitats and the predation pressures associated with this environment, for a more direct migration than Chinook salmon to ocean habitats in the Gulf of Alaska.

TI Cold-neutron depth profiling as a research tool for the study of surface
oxides on metals
SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS
LA English
DT Article
AB A recent experiment at NIST has demonstrated that neutron depth profiling (NDP) based on the (n, alpha) reaction could be developed into a tool that could be routinely used for the study of passive oxides on metals. Whereas most metals are not (n, alpha) active, oxides grown with (17)O, the only (n, alpha) active oxygen isotope, can be observed and tracked by this technique. Problems due to contamination of the samples by boron were encountered, but were shown to be surmountable. For our samples, the NDP facility at NIST, as it exists today, has enough flux and energy resolution to separate the alpha particles emitted by (17)O from those emitted by (10)B. Substantial improvement in the data collection rate, easily achievable with arrays of additional detectors, will make NDP a useful tool in the study of passive oxides.

TI Establishing the Antarctic Dome C community reference standard site
towards consistent measurements from Earth observation satellites
SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING
LA English
DT Article
AB Establishing satellite measurement consistency by using common desert sites has become increasingly more important not only for climate change detection but also for quantitative retrievals of geophysical variables in satellite applications. Using the Antarctic Dome C site (75 degrees 06'S, 123 degrees 21'E, elevation 3.2 km) for satellite radiometric calibration and validation (Cal/Val) is of great interest owing to its unique location and characteristics. The site surface is covered with uniformly distributed permanent snow, and the atmospheric effect is small and relatively constant. In this study, the long-term stability and spectral characteristics of this site are evaluated using well-calibrated satellite instruments such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). Preliminary results show that despite a few limitations, the site in general is stable in the long term, the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model works well, and the site is most suitable for the Cal/Val of reflective solar bands in the 0.4-1.0 mu m range. It was found that for the past decade, the reflectivity change of the site is within 1.35% at 0.64 mu m, and interannual variability is within 2%. The site is able to resolve calibration biases between instruments at a level of similar to 1%. The usefulness of the site is demonstrated by comparing observations from seven satellite instruments involving four space agencies, including OrbView-2-SeaWiFS, Terra-Aqua MODIS, Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) - Hyperion, Meteorological Operational satellite programme (MetOp) - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), Envisat Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) - dvanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). Dome C is a promising candidate site for climate quality calibration of satellite radiometers towards more consistent satellite measurements, as part of the framework for climate change detection and data quality assurance for the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

TI Water vapor correction to improve the operational calibration for NOAA
AVHRR/3 channel 2 (0.85 mu m) over a desert target
SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING
LA English
DT Article
AB The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRRs) flown on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) polar satellites have been providing invaluable data for Earth system science and global change studies. However, the use of AVHRR solar reflectance products (e.g., normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)) is constrained by calibration uncertainty, largely owing to the lack of an on-orbit calibration device for solar reflectance channels. Since the mid-1990s, NOAA has been applying operational calibration to these channels using the time series of top-of-atmosphere (TOA) measurements of the Libyan Desert site. However, the assumed radiometric stability of Libyan Desert TOA measurements can be disrupted by short-term variations in atmospheric components, especially for AVHRR channel 2, which has a spectral response function covering water vapor absorption lines in the near-infrared (NIR) spectra. This study aims to improve the calibration accuracy of AVHRR channel 2 data by applying water vapor correction over the homogeneous desert target surface using the water vapor content (W) derived from the linear relationships between the AVHRR split-window temperature difference (Delta T) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) NIR water vapor product. Results show that the linear Delta T-W relationship is affected by the temperature lapse rate at the satellite over-passing time and the spectral response functions of AVHRR split-window channels. Water vapor correction reduces the calibration uncertainty from 2.6%-3.5% to 1.7%-1.8%, and about 1.0% surface-based relative calibration accuracy is independent of the water vapor uncertainty introduced by the Delta T-Wregression. Furthermore, the short-term variations in the channel 2 operational degradation rate are largely reduced after water vapor correction. Thus, implementing water vapor correction can improve the operational calibration accuracy for AVHRR channel 2.

TI Operational calibration of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(AVHRR) visible and near-infrared channels
SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING
LA English
DT Article
AB The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) visible and near-infrared channels must be calibrated after launch to maintain the accuracy of data derived from these channels for quantitative utilizations. The postlaunch calibration of these channels can only be carried out vicariously. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - National Environmental Satellite, Data, an Information Service (NESDIS) has been using the Libyan Desert as reference for operational calibration of AVHRR visible and near-infrared channels since 1995. A previous algorithm was successful correcting for the long-term instrument degradation in recalibration but had difficulty updating instrument calibration in near-real-time operation. This paper describes the operational calibration algorithm implemented since 2003, which overcomes the existing shortcomings by reducing target contamination and accounting for the effects of target bidirectional reflectance distribution function. Application of the algorithm shortens the latency of postlaunch calibration from 3 to 4 years for NOAA-14 and NOAA-16 to less than 2 years for NOAA-17 and to a few months for later satellites. Compared with the previous algorithm, the current algorithm enhances the calibration precision from 1.7% to 0.9% for channel 1.

AB This paper examines the subject of hydrologic variability and its changes in two separate integrations of a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory/NOAA assuming a 1% per year increase to a doubling and quadrupling of CO2, respectively. Changes in time mean state and variability of precipitation, runoff and soil moisture are evaluated using monthly and seasonal mean data derived from these integrations. Various statistical tests are then performed on the resulting time mean and variability changes. The patterns of hydrologic change for these three quantities are similar to those obtained from previous studies. In northern middle to higher latitudes for the time means, the changes include increases in monthly mean precipitation, increases in monthly mean runoff during the fall, winter and spring seasons and decreases of monthly mean soil moisture during summer. Many of these changes are found to be statistically significant at the 5% significance level for both the time mean and variability especially for the results where CO2 is quadrupled such as monthly mean precipitation. Significant changes also include increases of runoff variability during spring, winter and spring and increases of soil moisture variability during the summer season. These results support statements made in previous IPCC reports that increasing greenhouse gases can lead to more severe and frequent floods and droughts depending upon season and latitude. This study also indicates that the approaches to equilibrium of these two integrations, and the resulting hydrologic changes, take place over time scales of hundreds of years in agreement with several previous investigations.

AB We analyzed several records of mean volume backscattering strength (S(v)) derived from 150 kHz acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) moored along the equator in upwelling mesotrophic conditions and in the warm pool oligotrophic ecosystem of the Pacific Ocean. The ADCPs allow for gathering long time-series of non-intrusive information about zooplankton and micronekton at the same spatial and temporal scales as physical observations. High S(v) are found from the surface to the middle of the thermocline between dusk and dawn in the mesotrophic regime. Biological and physical influences modified this classical diel cycle. In oligotrophic conditions observed at 170 degrees W and 140 degrees W during El Nino years, a subsurface S(v) maximum characterized nighttime S(v) profiles. Variations of the thermocline depth correlated with variations of the base of the high S(v) layer and the subsurface maximum closely tracked the thermocline depth from intraseasonal to interannual time-scales. A recurring deepening (20-60 m) of the high S(v) layer was observed at a frequency close to the lunar cycle frequency. At 165 degrees E, high day-to-day variations prevailed and our results suggest the influence of moderately mesotrophic waters that would be advected from the western warm pool during westerly wind events. A review of the literature suggests that S(v) variations may result from changes in biomass and species assemblages among which myctophids and euphausiids would be the most likely scatterers.

MODEL; EDDY; PACIFIC; VARIABILITY; TRANSPORT; INTRUSION
AB Satellite observations have shown the abundance of generally westward-propagating eddies in the subtropical regions in the North Pacific Ocean, especially north of 10 degrees N. Eddies transport mass, and can significantly impact the circulation as well as the heat, salt and nutrient balances of the western Pacific marginal seas. This paper uses a numerical model to examine the conditions when eddies can or cannot freely propagate westward through the Luzon Strait into the South China Sea (SCS). Composite analyses on the 10-year model data show that the fates of eddies depend on the strength and path of the Kuroshio. In one path that exists mostly during fall and winter, the Kuroshio loops westward into the SCS, the potential vorticity (PV) across the current is weak, and eddies are likely to propagate freely through the Luzon Strait. In another path, which exists mostly during spring and summer, the Kuroshio tends to leap directly northward bypassing the SCS, the PV across it strengthens, and eddies are then blocked and are constrained to also follow the northward path. Nonlinear eddy-current interaction and the existence of a cyclone north of the Luzon Island during the looping phase explain why eddies of both signs can pass through the strait. It is shown also that the upstream state of the Kuroshio in the western tropical Pacific plays an important role in dictating the different paths of the Kuroshio. The looping (leaping) path is caused by a weakened (stronger) Kuroshio transport related to the northward (southward) shift of the North Equatorial Current in wintertime (summertime).

TI Equivalent forcing depth in tropical oceans

DT Article
DE Equivalent forcing depth; Tropical oceans; Baroclinic mode
ID INDIAN-OCEAN; MODEL; FREQUENCY
AB The forcing efficiency for the first and the second baroclinic modes by the wind stress in tropical oceans has been discussed by calculating equivalent forcing depth from annual mean, seasonal, and pentadal density profiles of the observational data. In the annual mean field, the first mode is forced preferentially in the western Pacific and the Indian Ocean, whereas the second mode is more strongly excited in the Atlantic and the eastern Pacific. This difference is mostly due to the pycnocline depth; the second mode is more dominantly forced where the pycnocline depth is shallower. We also revealed large seasonal variations of the second mode's equivalent forcing depth in the western Indian Ocean. The first mode is more dominantly forced during boreal spring and fall in the western Indian Ocean, while the second mode becomes more dominantly forced during boreal summer and winter. Those are due to seasonal variations of both the zonal wind and the pycnocline depth. Moreover, we show that the excitation of the second mode in the western Pacific increases after the late 1970s, which is associated with the decreasing trend of the zonal pycnocline gradient. Revealing the variation of the equivalent forcing depth will be useful for understanding the oceanic response to winds in tropical oceans and the improvement in the predictability of air-sea coupled climate variability in the tropics.

AB Adaptation to human-modified ecosystems has been implicated in changing the life history of a number of wild animal populations, potentially contributing to their collapse. Fishing may be an important evolutionary force that can change the distribution of fitness-related traits; however, the magnitude and direction of the evolutionary response may be influenced by different management strategies. Most phenotypic traits subject to human-induced selection are simultaneously influenced by the environment and by genetic variation, and many traits are genetically correlated. Here, we evaluated the evolutionary outcomes of harvest activities on mean length and age at maturity in a fish population by coupling a multivariate quantitative genetic model with a Leslie life history matrix model. Lengths-at-ages were treated as genetically correlated characters parameterized from empirical data on chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) populations. Using simulations, we explored the outcomes of 100 years of harvest using gill nets, which impose disruptive selection, or longlines, which impose minimum size selection, that targeted immature individuals in the high seas or maturing individuals in terminal spawning areas. Response in mean length and age depended on selection differentials imposed by harvest (which depended in turn on fishing location, gear type, and proportion of the population harvested) and on the genetic correlations between traits. Mean length was strongly influenced by the selection differential of the most abundant age class. Large differences in response were observed between the high-seas fishery, where the most abundant age was the youngest age vulnerable to harvest, compared to the terminal area fishery, where an older age class was most abundant. We observed a substantial difference in response between gill nets and longlines in the terminal fishery only. The evolution of mean age of mature individuals was less predictable, but generally increased as length decreased and decreased as length increased. The model presented here has potential for incorporating empirical data into fisheries forecasting and therefore provides a powerful means of integrating evolutionary considerations into harvest management.

AB Aquatic communities have been altered by invasive species, with impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystem function. At the same time, native biodiversity may mitigate the effects of an invader. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a ubiquitous, invasive fish species that strongly influences community and ecosystem processes. We used common carp to test whether the potential effects of an invasive species are altered across a range of species diversity in native communities. In mesocosms, treatments of zero, one, three, and six native fish species were used to represent the nested subset patterns observed in fish communities of lakes in Illinois, USA. The effect of the invader was tested across fish richness treatments by adding common carp to the native community and substituting native biomass with common carp. Native species and intraspecific effects reduced invader growth. The invader reduced native fish growth; however, the negative effect was minimized with increasing native richness. The zooplankton grazer community was modified by a top-down effect from the invader that increased the amount of phytoplankton. Neither the invader nor richness treatments influenced total phosphorus or community metabolism. Overall, the invader reduced resources for native species, and the effect scaled with how the invader was incorporated into the community. Higher native diversity mitigated the impact of the invader, confirming the need to consider biodiversity when predicting the impacts of invasive species.

AB A sensitive method was developed for the determination of the major inorganic ions in commercial mineral waters using gradient elution moving boundary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection. This application was the first to demonstrate the separation of cations and anions simultaneously using gradient elution moving boundary electrophoresis. Seven ionic analytes (calcium, chloride, magnesium, nitrate, potassium, sodium, and sulfate) were separated in less than 7 min with detection values in the low mu mol/L to sub-mu mol/L range. Calculated values of the major ions in three commercial mineral waters were compared to reported values with good correlation. In another application, phosphate and arsenate were separated in less than 2 min with limits of detection of 300 and 140 nmol/L, respectively. For all standard analyses, the RSD for migration times and peak areas were under 3%.

AB Problems associated with pre-ignition of fuel in a spark-ignition engine have been documented for many years and include poor performance and structural damage in engines. These problems were addressed in the past by adding organometallic additives, such as tetraethyl lead (TEL), to the fuel. While this additive is banned, others are permitted in some jurisdictions. Two such additives are ferrocene (FC) and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). In this paper, we apply the advanced distillation curve approach to the analysis of these two additives (at concentrations of 20 and 40 mg/L) in a typical gasoline. We observe that neither additive affects the volatility of gasoline until the 55% distillate volume fraction. Subsequent to this fraction, we note temperature departures from the base gasoline that progress from 1 to 7 degrees C for FC and from approximately 1 to 4 degrees C for MMT. We further note, with the composition-explicit data channel Idle advanced distillation curve (ADC), that the additives are not found in the distillate until after the 55% distillate volume fraction and that the concentration in the distillate increases as the distillation proceeds to completion.

AB The density of a flightline jet fuel (JP-8) was measured with two vibrating-tube densimeters. The combined range of the data is from 270 to 470 K with pressures of 40 MPa. The speed of sound in the fuel was measured with a propagation time method at ambient pressure from 278.15 to 343.15 K. The density and speed of sound results at ambient pressure were combined to obtain the adiabatic compressibility. A correlation is reported that represents the temperature and pressure dependence of the experimental data within their estimated uncertainties and can be extrapolated meaningfully beyond the pressure range of the data. The data from this jet fuel are compared to those of four previously measured jet fuels to examine the differences in their densities and speeds of sound.

AB RP-1 is a long-established hydrocarbon fuel that continues to be widely used as the kerosene component in rocket propulsion systems. The desire in recent years to use rocket engines many times, rather than a single time, has led to reformulations of RP-1 and to the formulation of RP-2. In terms of processing, increased hydro-treating or the component feedstock fluids used in the manufacture of RP-1 can lower the sulfur, olefin, and aromatic content significantly. The resulting fuels have demonstrably lower metal corrosion effects and are thus more amenable to multiple use rocket engines. In recent years, the reformulated RP-1 mixtures have been extensively studied in terms of thermophysical properties, combustion processes and kinetics, and performance. Still unknown is how compositional variability resulting from the various blending strategies affects both the properties and our ability to correctly predict the fluid behavior with mathematical models. To address this question, we have obtained 11 batches of RP-1 that were prepared to represent the range of formulation recipes. For each of these representative formulations, we have assessed the compositional variability with the advanced distillation curve (ADC) metrology. This method is an improvement of classical boiling curve techniques. It features (1) a composition explicit data channel for each distillate fraction (for both qualitative and quantitative analysis), (2) temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state, (3) temperature, volume, and pressure measurements of low uncertainty suitable for equation of state development, (4) consistency with a century of historical data, (5) an assessment of the energy content of each distillate fraction, (6) trace chemical analysis of each distillate fraction, and (7) corrosivity assessment of each distillate fraction. In this paper, we will employ all applicable data channels of the ADC to show the compositional variability and also discuss how the variability will impact predictive modeling. We use these data to conclude that the variabilities of RP-1 and RP-2 are significant and perhaps higher than expected.

AB A macromodel-based approach to enable post-event progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frame-wall structures is investigated. A simplified shear wall model is developed to simulate the inelastic behavior of a multi-story frame-wall system due to the sudden loss of a significant portion of the shear wall at the first story. Detailed finite element analyses are employed not only to provide modeling insights but also as a tool to verify the accuracy of the developed shear wall model. Two perimeter frame-wall systems designed for different seismic zones are modeled using the proposed approach and numerical simulations following the sudden loss of a portion of the shear wall at the lowest story are compared and evaluated. Although no signs of collapse are evident in either system, detailed investigation of force variations in structural members shows that the seismically designed frame-wall system (SDC-D) is a more robust system compared to a system designed for much lower seismic demands due to the effectiveness of its structural layout and seismic detailing. The simplified methodology is a suitable approach for preliminary progressive collapse investigation of RC frame-wall structures. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB The Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) is modified to ingest Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) data for cloud analysis. A first study is conducted to test the actual performance of the weather analysis software after new satellite bands are introduced. Results show that the system provides high quality cloud products such as cloud mask, cloud top height and cloudiness. A comparison with products from EUMETSAT's Nowcasting SAF shows a general underestimation of the LAPS product although the results are not conclusive. The study shows the potential of MSG data in refining the mesoscale analyses produced by LAPS. Moreover the software tools, based on open source codes for geolocation and geographical information systems, written for the transformation of MSG data into input files for LAPS have demonstrated a great flexibility and ease of use. The study opens up an avenue for successive validation and refinement of the analyses together with their improved implementation for operational nowcasting and very short range forecasting applications.

AB In situ biomonitoring has been used to assess the effects of pollution on aquatic species in heavily polluted waterways. In the current study, we used in situ biomonitoring in conjunction with molecular biomarker analysis to determine the effects of pollutant exposure in salmon caged in the Duwamish waterway, a Pacific Northwest Superfund site that has been subject to remediation. The Duwamish waterway is an important migratory route for Pacific salmon and has received historic inputs of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). juvenile pre-smolt Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) caged for 8 days in the three contaminated sites in close proximity within the Duwamish were analyzed for steady state hepatic mRNA expression of 7 exposure biomarker genes encompassing several gene families and known to be responsive to pollutants, including cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) and CYP2K1, glutathione S-transferase pi class (GST-pi), microsomal GST (mGST), glutamylcysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), UDP-glucuronyltransferase family 1 (UDPGT), and type 2 deiodinase (type 2 D1, or D2). Quantitation of gene expression was accomplished by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in assays developed specifically for Chinook salmon genes. Gill PAH-DNA adducts were assessed as a chemical effects biomarker using (32)P-postlabeling. The biomarkers in the field-caged fish were analyzed with respect to caged animals maintained at the hatchery receiving flow-through water. Chemical analysis of sediment samples from three field sampling sites revealed relatively high concentrations of total PAHs in one site (site B2, 6711 ng/g dry weight) and somewhat lower concentrations of PAHs in two adjacent sites (sites B3 and B4, 1482 and 1987 ng/g, respectively). In contrast, waterborne PAHs at all of the sampling sites were relatively low ( < 1 ng/L). Sediment PCBs at the sites ranged from a low of 421 ng/g at site B3 to 1160 ng/g at site B4, and there were no detectable waterborne PCBs at any of the sites (detection limit= 10 ng/L). There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in biomarker gene expression in the Duwamish-caged fish relative to controls, although there was a pattern of gene expression suppression at site B3, the most heavily PAH-enriched site. The lack of a marked perturbation of mRNA biomarkers was consistent with relatively low levels of gill PAH-DNA adduct levels that did not differ among caged reference and field fish, and which were also consistent with relatively low waterborne concentrations of chemicals. The results of our study suggest a low bioavailability of sediment pollutants in caged juvenile Chinook potentially reflecting low waterborne exposures occurring at contaminated sites within the Duwamish waterway that have undergone partial remediation.

AB Cetaceans are federally protected species that are prone to accumulate complex mixtures of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which individually may exert estrogenic or antiestrogenic effects. In the present study it was assessed whether contaminant mixtures harbored by cetaceans are estrogenic or antiestrogenic using a comparative approach. Interactions of antiestrogenic and estrogenic compounds were first investigated with the E-Screen assay using a mixture of four POPs (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene [4,4'-DDE], trans-nonachlor, and polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs] 138 180) prevalent in cetacean blubber. Estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity was determined for the individual compounds and their binary, tertiary, and quaternary combinations. Significantly different responses were observed for the various POP mixtures, including enhanced estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects and antagonistic interactions. These results were then compared to the concentrations and estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity of contaminant mixtures isolated directly from the blubber of 15 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) collected from five U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico locations. The lowest observed effect concentrations (LOECs) determined for 4,4'-DDE (20 mu mol/L), PCB 138 (20 mu mol/L), PCB 180 (21 [anon), and trans-nonachlor (3 mu mol/L) in the E-Screen were greater than estimated dolphin blood concentrations. Although estimated blood concentrations were below the LOECs, significant estrogenic activity was detected in diluted dolphin blubber from Cape May, NJ and Bermuda. Positive correlations between blubber estrogenicity and select POP concentrations (Sigma DDTs, Sigma PBDEs, Sigma HCB, Sigma estrogenic PCBs, Sigma estrogenic POPs) were also observed. Collectively, these results suggest that select bottlenose dolphin populations may be exposed to contaminants that act in concert to exert estrogenic effects at biologically relevant concentrations. These observations do not necessarily provide direct evidence of endocrine disruption; however, they may indicate an environmental source of xenoestrogenic exposure warranting future research.

Bigglestone Award for Excellence in Written Communication of Fire Protection Concepts from The Fire Protection Research Foundation. Since the publication of this paper, there has been additional development of the heat transfer model. The radiant heat transfer element has been refined, and the model can now address predictions of heat transfer through wet protective clothing materials. Additionally, there has been an extension of the thermal properties database for fabric materials used to manufacture firefighters' protective clothing. These improvements have significantly expanded the capabilities of the model and provide users with a more robust tool for economically predicting thermal protective clothing performance.

AB P>This study examined habitat use patterns of newly settled spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus (Cuvier) across several Gulf of Mexico estuaries. Intensive sampling using an epibenthic sled was conducted in three Texas bays and among three potential habitat types. A long-term data set (1982 to 1997) from the National Marine Fisheries Service was also used to examine C. nebulosus habitat use patterns in both marsh and seagrass-dominated bay systems for broad regional comparisons along the north-western Gulf of Mexico. Vegetated habitat types such as seagrass and marsh supported the highest densities and use was dependent upon availability of particular vegetated habitat types. In laboratory mesocosm experiments, both wild-caught and hatchery-reared C. nebulosus, showed strong selection for structured and vegetated habitat types. These field and laboratory results suggest that seagrass meadows and marshes may be functioning as important habitat for C. nebulosus in Gulf of Mexico, and other habitat types such as oyster reef need further evaluation.

AB Small-scale fisheries in Peru constitute an important source of food and employment for coastal communities where fish is the single most important natural resource. Utilizing official statistics and extensive survey data from 30 fishing ports and by onboard observers operating from 11 ports, we review how these fisheries grew from 1995 to 2005, and provide insights into the relative importance of different fishing gears and their modes of operation. Small-scale fisheries operate along the entire Peruvian coast and have continued expanding in number of vessels and fishers in all geopolitical regions except one. Nationwide, the number of fishers grew by 34% from 28 098 to 37727 and the number of vessels increased by 54% from 6268 to 9667. At 30 harbors, the number of vessels increased for purse seiners (17.8%) and longliners (357.4%), while gillnets decreased (similar to 14.5%). These dramatic changes could jeopardize the sustainability of these fisheries and the livelihoods of those who depend upon them, especially considering the limited capacity for management. Despite increase in effort, catch and catch per vessel have decreased, especially in some of the sub-regions that previously constituted the majority of effort and landings, raising concerns regarding their sustainability. Of the fishing gears monitored, gillnets were shown to have the most frequent interactions with threatened taxa such as marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles. The total length of gillnets set in Peru was estimated at >100000 km of net per year, about 14 times the length used by the Taiwanese high seas driftnet fleet in the Pacific before it was banned. Longlines, although shown to be a more efficient fishing method (economically and in terms of selectivity), still had bycatch of turtles and seabirds, and marine mammals are targeted to be used as bait. We conservatively estimate that longline vessels operating in Peru set an average of 80 million hooks per year; equivalent to one-third of the annual effort of the global industrial swordfish longline fishery. We conclude that, despite their definition as small-scale, the magnitude of these fleets and their fishing effort are vast and are of concern with regard to their long term sustainability and their impacts and interactions with large marine vertebrates. We highlight the need for increased research and management measures to ensure the long term viability of these fisheries. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A design is presented for a cost-effective, easy to use, millimeter resolution electronic fish measuring board. The device is easily assembled from commercially available electronic components and a customized electronic control board. The principal component of this design is a magnetostrictive linear distance sensor. This sensor is an alternative to previous approaches in magnetic measuring technology that used magnetoresistive or Hall-effect sensors. The measuring device is connected to a personal computer or personal digital assistant running a data acquisition application. Length measurements are taken by momentarily placing a magnet on the length board sensor at the desired measurement location. The described electronic fish measuring board is a robust, inexpensive and efficient alternative to other methods and devices used to rapidly collect relatively large numbers of high-resolution length measurements.

AB Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is an important component of fisheries and food webs in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. However, vital rates of early life stages of this species have yet to be described in detail. We determined the thermal sensitivity of growth rates of embryos, preflexion and postflexion larvae, and postsettlement juveniles. Growth rates (length and mass) at each ontogenetic stage were measured in three replicate tanks at four to five temperatures. Nonlinear regression was used to obtain parameters for independent stage-specific growth functions and a unified size- and temperature-dependent growth function. Specific growth rates increased with temperature at all stages and generally decreased with increases in body size. However, these analyses revealed a departure from a strict size-based allometry in growth patterns, as reduced growth rates were observed among preflexion larvae: the reduction in specific growth rate between embryos and free-swimming larvae was greater than expected based on body size differences. Growth reductions in the preflexion larvae appear to be associated with increased metabolic rates and the transition from endogenous to exogenous feeding. In future studies, experiments should be integrated across life transitions to more clearly define intrinsic ontogenetic and size-dependent growth patterns because these are critical for evaluations of spatial and temporal variation in habitat quality.

AB Despite its recreational and commercial importance, the movement patterns and spawning habitats of winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) in the Gulf of Maine are poorly understood. To address these uncertainties, 72 adult winter flounder (27-48 cm) were fitted with acoustic transmitters and tracked by passive telemetry in the southern Gulf of Maine between 2007 and 2009. Two sympatric contingents of adult winter flounder were observed, which exhibited divergent spawning migrations. One contingent remained in coastal waters during the spawning season, while a smaller contingent of winter flounder was observed migrating to estuarine habitats. Estuarine residence times were highly variable, and ranged from 2 to 91 days (mean=28 days). Flounder were nearly absent from the estuary during the fall and winter months and were most abundant in the estuary from late spring to early summer. The observed seasonal movements appeared to be strongly related to water temperature. This is the first study to investigate the seasonal distribution, migration, and spawning behavior of adult winter flounder in the Gulf of Maine by using passive acoustic telemetry. This approach offered valuable insight into the life history of this species in nearshore and estuarine habitats and improved the information available for the conservation and management of this species.

AB Settled juvenile blue rockfish (Sebastes mystinus) were collected from two kelp beds approximately 335 km apart off Mendocino in northern California and Monterey in central California. A total of 112 rockfish were collected from both sites over 5 years (1993, 1994, 2001, 2002, and 2003). Total age, settlement date, age at settlement, and birth date were determined from otolith microstructure. Fish off Mendocino settled mostly in June and fish off Monterey settled mostly in May (average difference in settlement=23 days). Although the difference in the timing of settlement followed this same pattern for both areas over the five years, settlement occurred later in 2002 and 2003 than in the prior years of sampling. The difference in the timing of settlement was due primarily to differences in birth dates for the two areas. The time of settlement was positively related to upwelling and negatively related to sea level anomaly for most of the months before settlement. Knowledge of the timing of settlement has implications for design and placement of marine protected areas because protection of nursery grounds is frequently a major objective of these protected areas. The timing of settlement is also an important consideration in the planning of surveys of early recruits because mistimed surveys (caused by latitudinal differences in the timing of settlement) could produce biased estimates.

AB Most shallow-dwelling tropical marine fishes exhibit different activity patterns during the day and night but show similar transition behavior among habitat sites despite the dissimilar assemblages of the species. However, changes in species abundance, distribution, and activity patterns have only rarely been examined in temperate deepwater habitats during the day and night, where day-to-night differences in light intensity are extremely slight. Direct-observation surveys were conducted over several depths and habitat types on Heceta Bank, the largest rocky bank off the Oregon coast. Day and night fish community composition, relative density, and activity levels were compared by using videotape footage from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operated along paired transects. Habitat-specific abundance and activity were determined for 31 taxa or groups. General patterns observed were similar to shallow temperate day and night studies, with an overall increase in the abundance and activity of fishes during the day than at night, particularly in shallower cobble, boulder, and rock ridge habitats. Smaller schooling rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) were more abundant and active in day than in night transects, and sharp-chin (S. zacentrus) and harlequin (S. variegatus) rockfish were significantly more abundant in night transects. Most taxa, however, did not exhibit distinct diurnal or nocturnal activity patterns. Rosethorn rockfish (S. helvomaculatus) and hagfishes (Eptatretus spp.) showed the clearest diurnal and nocturnal activity patterns, respectively. Because day and night distributions and activity patterns in demersal fishes are likely to influence both catchability and observability in bottom trawl and direct-count in situ surveys, the patterns observed in the current study should be considered for survey design and interpretation.

AB A total of ten larval Ammodytes were collected from the Yellow (5 specimens) and Bering Seas (5), and a 638 base pair sequence from their mitochondrial DNA COI genes was analyzed for species identification. Sequences were compared with those of adult Ammodytes personatus from the East (4), the Yellow (2) and the East China Seas (2), and Japan (3). Average genetic distance was 0.064 between the Yellow Sea larvae and the Bering Sea larvae, but was 0.0043 between the Yellow Sea larvae and all the adult A. personatus except two individuals from the East Sea. NJ-tree showed that five Yellow Sea larvae were closely clustered with adult A. personatus, except for two individuals. The five Bering Sea larvae were located distantly from adult A. personatus, and are thought to be A. hexapterus. We found morphological differences among two populations of A. personatus larvae and A. hexapterus larvae in morphometric characters and pigmentation. Our results indicated that the East Sea population of A. personatus is closer to A. hexapterus than to the Yellow Sea population of A. personatus, suggesting the East Sea population may be part of separate species.

AB Conversion of tropical rainforests to pastures and plantations is associated with changes in soil properties and biogeochemical cycling, with implications for carbon cycling and trace gas fluxes. The stable isotopic composition of ecosystem respiration (delta 13C(R) and delta 18O(R)) is used in inversion models to quantify regional patterns of CO2 sources and sinks, but models are limited by sparse measurements in tropical regions. We measured soil respiration rates, concentrations of CO2, CH4, CO, N2O and H-2 and the isotopic composition of CO2, CH4 and H-2 at four heights in the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) above three common land-use types in central Panama, during dry and rainy seasons. Soil respiration rates were lowest in Plantation (average 3.4 mu mol m-2 s-1), highest in Pasture (8.3 mu mol m-2 s-1) and intermediate in Rainforest (5.2 mu mol m-2 s-1). delta 13C(R) closely reflected land use and increased during the dry season where C-3 vegetation was present. delta 18O(R) did not differ by land use but was lower during the rainy than the dry season. CO2 was correlated with other species in approximately half of the NBL profiles, allowing us to estimate trace gas fluxes that were generally within the range of literature values. The Rainforest soil was a sink for CH4 but emissions were observed in Pasture and Plantation, especially during the wet season. N2O emissions were higher in Pasture and Plantation than Rainforest, contrary to expectations. Soil H-2 uptake was highest in Rainforest and was not observable in Pasture and Plantation during the wet season. We observed soil CO uptake during the dry season and emissions during the wet season across land-use types. This study demonstrated that strong impacts of land-use change on soil-atmosphere trace gas exchange can be detected in the NBL, and provides useful observational constraints for top-down and bottom-up biogeochemistry models.

AB The local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) is applied to the GFDL Mars general circulation model (MGCM) to demonstrate the potential benefit of an advanced data assimilation method. In perfect model (aka identical twin) experiments, simulated observations are used to assess the performance of the LETKF-MGCM system and to determine the dependence of the assimilation on observational data coverage. Temperature retrievals are simulated at locations that mirror the spatial distribution of the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) retrievals from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). The LETKF converges quickly and substantially reduces the analysis and subsequent forecast errors in both temperature and velocity fields, even though only temperature observations are assimilated. The LETKF is also found to accurately estimate the magnitude of forecast uncertainties, notably those associated with the phase and amplitude of baroclinic waves along the boundary of the polar ice cap during Northern Hemisphere winter.

AB The cephalopods of the wider Caribbean region (western central Atlantic) were examined in terms of distribution and ecological importance. In all, 4190 preserved cephalopod specimens were identified and catalogued to produce regional maps of cephalopod distribution within the wider Caribbean. Regional species richness was examined with respect to Rapoport's rule (RR) and to determine possible cephalopod hotspots in the region. Rarefaction curves were used to normalize the samples of various size collected throughout the wider Caribbean. Cephalopods of the wider Caribbean within latitudinal bands from 8 to 308N do not support RR because they exhibit increasing species richness with increasing latitude. Eight subareas were chosen to compare species richness. Regionally, species richness appears to be patchy, with cephalopods concentrated more off the eastern Florida coast. There is a need for increased sampling throughout the wider Caribbean. Areas were lacking in samples, especially the central and southeastern parts of the region. There is a need to explore the systematics, life histories, and distribution patterns for this group of organisms in future.

AB Planktonic and newly hatched cephalopods are routinely called paralarvae. Currently, the onset of diel vertical migration (DVM) marks the end of the paralarval phase, although changes in ontogenic growth trajectories may also be used. Patterns of DVM are reported for the first time for three poorly understood mesopelagic squid species. Discrete-depth samples taken during the Amsterdam Mid North Atlantic Plankton Expeditions (AMNAPE) of 1980-1983 are used to examine the timing of ecological and morphological changes in Chtenopteryx sicula, Mastigoteuthis magna, and Brachioteuthis sp. 3. DVM patterns are species-specific, and ontogenic changes in DVM coincide with allometric changes in the arm, fin, and funnel characters of C. sicula at 7 mm mantle length. Mastigoteuthis magna is not concentrated in the upper 250 m of the water column during the day, and no clear DVM pattern is found in Brachioteuthis sp. 3, meaning that the endpoint of the paralarval phase cannot be defined ecologically in these species. Other ecological transformations, e. g. changes in prey-capture ability, are therefore explored as alternatives to DVM. The pad-shaped club and long neck are proposed as visual markers of the end of the paralarval phase of C. sicula and Brachioteuthis sp. 3, respectively.

AB An improved microwave radiometric ocean surface emissivity model has been developed to support forward radiative transfer modeling of brightness temperature and geophysical retrieval algorithms for the next-generation airborne Hurricane Imaging Radiometer instrument. This physically based C-band emissivity model extends current model capabilities to hurricane-force wind speeds over a wide range of incidence angles. It was primarily developed using brightness temperature observations during hurricanes with coincident high-quality surface-truth wind speeds, which were obtained using the airborne Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer. Also, other ocean emissivity models available through the published literature and the spaceborne WindSat radiometer measurements were used.

AB In this paper, measurements of high-frequency broadband (160-590 kHz) acoustic backscattering from surface trapped nonlinear internal waves of depression are presented. These waves are ideal for assessing the contribution from oceanic microstructure to scattering as they are intensely turbulent. Almost coincident direct microstructure measurements were performed and zooplankton community structure was characterized using depth-resolved net sampling techniques. The contribution to scattering from microstructure can be difficult to distinguish from the contribution to scattering from zooplankton using a single narrowband frequency as microstructure and zooplankton are often colocated and can have similar scattering levels over a range of frequencies. Yet their spectra are distinct over a sufficiently broad frequency range, allowing broadband backscattering measurements to reduce the ambiguities typically associated with the interpretation of narrowband measurements. In addition, pulse compression signal processing techniques result in very high-resolution images, allowing physical processes that are otherwise hard to resolve to be imaged, such as Kelvin-Helmholtz shear instabilities. In this study, high-resolution acoustic observations of multiple nonlinear internal waves are presented and regions with distinct scattering spectra are identified. Spectra that decrease in level across the available frequency band were highly correlated to regions of intense turbulence and high stratification, and to Kevin-Helmholtz shear instabilities in particular. Spectra that increase in level across the available frequency band were consistent with scattering dominated by small zooplankton. Simple inversions for relevant microstructure parameters are presented. Limitations of, and improvements to, the broadband system and techniques utilized in this study are discussed.

AB A long-baseline (LBL) acoustic system has been developed for the tracking of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that have been tagged with digital acoustic recording devices (DTAGs), providing quantitative observations of submerged whale behavior during bubble net feeding. The system includes three high-frequency acoustic sources deployed from small boats that follow the whale after the animal has been tagged. Integrated global positioning systems (GPSs) provide positioning and synchronized operation of the sources. Time-encoded acoustic signals from the sources are recorded along with whale vocalizations and ambient noise on the whale tag. Time-of-flight measurements, as measured by the tag acoustic data, are converted to range from the whale to each source with a measured sound-speed profile. A nonlinear least squares solution is then solved for the whale's position with a nominal positional fix rate of once per second. The system is demonstrated with data collected from a tagged animal in summer 2007. Dead-reckoned track generation methods commonly used in previous studies are shown to capture the qualitative nature of the whale track, albeit with poor absolute positional accuracy, and to distort the track when the whale's movement is predominantly vertical. In contrast, the LBL data can provide quantitative measures of whale behavior. Transit speeds between bubble net feeding events for this case study are found to range from 0.7 to 1.9 m . s(-1) (n = 8). The mean diameter of bubble net curtains are measured to range from 9.6 to 10.9 m. Whale speeds during bubble net rotations vary from 1.0 to 1.9 m . s(-1) (n = 6).

AB The dependence of doping and alloy composition in InGaAs/InAlAs double-quantum-well resonant interband tunnel diodes (TDs) for static random access memory (SRAM) applications is explored. The peak current density is shown to vary by 5 orders of magnitude as the effective doping density is varied by a factor of 5. The reasons for this dependence are determined by characterization and analysis of current-voltage-temperature and capacitance-voltage measurements. This paper demonstrates a low-current bistable TD pair for SRAM with peak current density of 4 nA/mu m(2), peak-to-valley current ratio of 14, and peak voltage of 0.05 V enabling static binary storage at a supply voltage as low as 0.25 V.

AB This study introduces a variational approach to retrieve total precipitable water (TPW) over all surface backgrounds including ocean, land, snow, sea-ice, and coastal areas, from microwave sensors. The product has been used routinely by forecasters since its recent operational implementation. The emissivity is accounted for by including its spectrum within the retrieved state vector, which allows for a pixel-to-pixel variation of the emissivity, a factor usually preventing the TPW retrieval over land. The algorithm, implemented operationally at the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), is called the Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS). Its main characteristic, besides its applicability over all surfaces, is its validity under all weather conditions. With a generic design, the algorithm is being applied to the following microwave sensors: 1) AMSU and MHS onboard NOAA-18; 2) NOAA-19 and Metop-A; as well as 3) SSMI/S onboard DMSP-F16 platform. The assessment of the MiRS performances is done by undertaking extensive comparisons to the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses, to a network of radiosondes and to existing well-established algorithms over ocean, encompassing a wide variety of meteorological situations. The performance of MiRS TPW is shown to depend on the sensor, the reference data source as well as on the surface background considered. It is shown to behave quite well over all surfaces and in all weather conditions, except when there is rain. Although this study focuses on the retrieval of TPW with an emphasis on non-oceanic surfaces, the underlying application of this study is the potential improvement in the variational data assimilation of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. Indeed, the same dynamic approach could be employed in order to assimilate more surface-sensitive microwave channels, over a multitude of surfaces.

ID PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS; SYSTEMS
AB Call Admission Control (CAC) between heterogeneous networks, such as an integrated 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), plays an important role to utilize the system resources in a more efficient way. In this paper, we propose that the preference to the WLAN is determined based on the traffic load in the WLAN and the location of the cellular users. Our analysis relies on a previous study that divides the 3G cellular coverage area into zones based on the amount of resources that are required to support a connection to a mobile user. Using this model, we derive new call blocking and handoff failure probabilities as well as new call and handoff attempt failure probabilities. Through simulations, we investigate proper preference settings by changing the WLAN load in a 3 ring-based sector with a WLAN hotspot.

TI Recommendation of short tandem repeat profiling for authenticating human

DT Review
DE Cell authentication; STR profiling; Consensus standard; Quality control
ID CONTAMINATION
AB Cell misidentification and cross-contamination have plagued biomedical research for as long as cells have been employed as research tools. Examples of misidentified cell lines continue to surface to this day. Efforts to eradicate the problem by raising awareness of the issue and by asking scientists voluntarily to take appropriate actions have not been successful. Unambiguous cell authentication is an essential step in the scientific process and should be an inherent consideration during peer review of papers submitted for publication or during review of grants submitted for funding. In order to facilitate proper identity testing, accurate, reliable, inexpensive, and standardized methods for authentication of cells and cell lines must be made available. To this end, an international team of scientists is, at this time, preparing a consensus standard on the authentication of human cells using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. This standard, which will be submitted for review and approval as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute, will provide investigators guidance on the use of STR profiling for authenticating human cell lines. Such guidance will include methodological detail on the preparation of the DNA sample, the appropriate numbers and types of loci to be evaluated, and the interpretation and quality control of the results. Associated with the standard itself will be the establishment and maintenance of a public STR profile database under the auspices of the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The consensus standard is anticipated to be adopted by granting agencies and scientific journals as appropriate methodology for authenticating human cell lines, stem cells, and tissues.

AB Because of concerns about indoor air quality, there is growing awareness of the need to reduce the rate at which indoor materials and products emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To meet consumer demand for low emitting products, manufacturers are increasingly submitting materials to independent laboratories for emissions testing. However, the same product tested by different laboratories can result in very different emissions profiles because of a general lack of test validation procedures. There is a need for a reference material that can be used as a known emissions source and that will have the same emission rate when tested by different laboratories under the same conditions. A reference material was created by loading toluene into a polymethyl pentene film. A fundamental emissions model was used to predict the toluene emissions profile. Measured VOC emissions profiles using small-chamber emissions tests compared reasonably well to the emissions profile predicted using the emissions model, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed approach to create a diffusion-controlled reference material.

AB Methods A total of 1303 adult regular bathers were randomly assigned to bather and non-bather groups, with subsequent follow-up for reported illness, in conjunction with extensive environmental sampling of indicator organisms (enterococci).
Results Bathers were 1.76 times more likely to report gastrointestinal illness [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94-3.30; P = 0.07]; 4.46 times more likely to report acute febrile respiratory illness (95% CI 0.99-20.90; P = 0.051) and 5.91 times more likely to report a skin illness (95% CI 2.76-12.63; P < 0.0001) relative to non-bathers. Evidence of a dose-response relationship was found between skin illnesses and increasing enterococci exposure among bathers [1.46 times (95% CI 0.97-2.21; P = 0.07) per increasing log(10) unit of enterococci exposure], but not for gastrointestinal or respiratory illnesses.
Conclusions This study indicated that bathers may be at increased risk of several illnesses relative to non-bathers, even in the absence of any known source of domestic sewage impacting the recreational marine waters. There was no dose-response relationship between gastroenteritis and increasing exposure to enterococci, even though many current water-monitoring standards use gastroenteritis as the major outcome illness.

AB Deuterium absorption in Mg70Al30 thin films coated with a Pd layer and a Ta/Pd bilayer were investigated using in situ neutron reflectometry at room temperature and deuterium pressures up to 1.3 bar. The approach used provides a detailed profile, at the nanoscale, of the deuterium content inside the specific layers that constitute the films. It is found that Mg70Al30 can store up to 5 wt.% under these mild conditions following a two-step mechanism. The latter involves the deuteration of the top and bottom catalyst layers first, followed by the main Mg70Al30 layer. The presence of deuterium throughout the films in the early absorption stages evidences atomic deuterium spillover from the catalyst layers. The addition of a Ta layer between the Pd and Mg70Al30 was found to allow observable absorption at a pressure 10 times lower than on the Ta-free sample, without affecting the storage capacity. Our measurements imply that this improvement in kinetics is due to a lowering of the nucleation barrier for the formation of the hydride phase in the Mg70Al30 layer.

AB A comparison of the spectral directional emittance of samples as a function of wavelength was performed at the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIS) and the Advanced Infrared Radiometry and Imaging (AIRI) facilities at NIST. At the FTIS, the emittance is obtained indirectly through the measurement of near-normal directional-hemispherical reflectance (DHR) using an infrared integrating sphere. At the AIRI, the normal directional emittance is obtained directly through the measurement of the sample spectral radiance referenced to that from blackbody sources, while the sample is located behind a black plate of known temperature and emittance. On the same setup at the AIRI, the normal emittance at near ambient temperatures is also measured indirectly by a "two-temperature" method in which the sample spectral radiance is measured while the background temperature is controlled and varied. The sample emittance measurements on the comparison samples are presented over a wavelength range of 3.4 mu m to 13.5 mu m at several near-ambient temperatures and for near-normal incidence. The results obtained validate the two independent capabilities and demonstrate the potential of the controlled background methods for measurements of the radiative properties of IR materials.

AB Electrodeposition is a key fabrication process used in the state-of-the-art multilevel Cu metallization of microelectronic interconnects, from transistor to circuit board length scale. Recent electrochemical surface science and feature filling studies have provided mechanistic insight into the role of additives in superconformal film growth responsible for void-free filling of recessed surface features. These studies have shown that a physical model based on mass conservation of accelerating surfactant species during area change very effectively describes feature filling of Cu, Ag, and Au from different electrolytes. This paper presents a selective and cursory review of some relevant developments underway in our laboratory.

AB The Advanced Clear Sky Processor for Oceans (ACSPO) generates clear-sky products, such as SST, clear-sky radiances, and aerosol, from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)-like measurements. The ACSPO clear-sky mask (ACSM) identifies clear-sky pixels within the ACSPO products. This paper describes the ACSM structure and compares the performances of ACSM and its predecessor, Clouds from AVHRR Extended Algorithm (CLAVRx). ACSM essentially employs online clear-sky radiative transfer simulations enabled within ACSPO with the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) in conjunction with numerical weather prediction atmospheric [Global Forecast System (GFS)] and SST [Reynolds daily high-resolution blended SST (DSST)] fields. The baseline ACSM tests verify the accuracy of fitting observed brightness temperatures with CRTM, check retrieved SST for consistency with Reynolds SST, and identify ambient cloudiness at the boundaries of cloudy systems. Residual cloud effects are screened out with several tests, adopted from CLAVRx, and with the SST spatial uniformity test designed to minimize misclassification of sharp SST gradients as clouds. Cross-platform and temporal consistencies of retrieved SSTs are maintained by accounting for SST and brightness temperature biases, estimated within ACSPO online and independently from ACSM. The performance of ACSM is characterized in terms of statistics of deviations of retrieved SST from the DSST. ACSM increases the amount of "clear'' pixels by 30% to 40% and improves statistics of retrieved SST compared with CLAVRx. ACSM is also shown to be capable of producing satisfactory statistics of SST anomalies if the reference SST field for the exact date of observations is unavailable at the time of processing.

ID RAINFALL; CLASSIFICATION; CALIBRATION; WSR-88D
AB Examined is bias in differential reflectivity and its effect on estimates of rain rate due to coupling of the vertically and horizontally polarized fields through the radiation patterns. To that end, a brief review of the effects of the bias on quantitative rainfall measurements is given. Suggestions for tolerable values of this bias are made. Of utmost interest is the bias produced by radars simultaneously transmitting horizontally and vertically polarized fields, as this configuration has been chosen for pending upgrades to the U. S. national network of radars (Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler; WSR-88D). The bias strongly depends on the cross-polar radiation pattern. Two patterns, documented in the literature, are considered.

TI An Example Crossover Experiment for Testing New Vicarious Calibration

SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY

ID PACIFIC; WATERS
AB Vicarious calibration of ocean color satellites involves the use of accurate surface measurements of water-leaving radiance to update and improve the system calibration of ocean color satellite sensors. An experiment was performed to compare a free-fall technique with the established Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) measurement. It was found in the laboratory that the radiance and irradiance instruments compared well within their estimated uncertainties for various spectral sources. The spectrally averaged differences between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) values for the sources and the instruments were <2.5% for the radiance sensors and <1.5% for the irradiance sensors. In the field, the sensors measuring the above-surface downwelling irradiance performed nearly as well as they had in the laboratory, with an average difference of <2%. While the water-leaving radiance L(w) calculated from each instrument agreed in almost all cases within the combined instrument uncertainties (approximately 7%), there was a relative bias between the two instrument classes/techniques that varied spectrally. The spectrally averaged (400-600 nm) difference between the two instrument classes/techniques was 3.1%. However, the spectral variation resulted in the free-fall instruments being 0.2% lower at 450 nm and 5.9% higher at 550 nm. Based on the analysis of one matchup, the bias in L(w) was similar to that observed for L(u)(1 m) with both systems, indicating the difference did not come from propagating L(u)(1 m) to L(w).

DT Article
ID LATENT-HEAT FLUX; SATELLITE DATA
AB A 10-m air temperature (Ta) retrieval using Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A) and satellite-derived sea surface temperature (Ts) observations is presented. The multivariable linear regression retrieval uses AMSU-A brightness temperatures from the 52.8- and 53.6-GHz channels and satellite-derived daily sea surface temperatures to determine Ta. A regression error of 0.83 degrees C using 841 matched satellite and ship observations demonstrates a high-quality fit of the satellite observations with in situ Ta. Validation of the retrieval using independent International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Dataset (ICOADS) ship and buoy observations results in a bias of -0.21 degrees C and root-mean-square (RMS) differences of 1.55 degrees C. A comparison with previous satellite-based Ta retrievals indicates less bias and significantly smaller RMS differences for the new retrieval. Regional biases inherent to previous retrievals are reduced in several oceanic regions using the new Ta retrieval. Satellite-derived Ts-Ta data were found to agree well with ICOADS buoy data and were significantly improved from previous retrievals.

B(T) and C(T), of (4)He with measurements of its (p-rho-T) behavior to determine the fourth density virial coefficient D(7) The measurements were made with a two-sinker, magnetic-suspension densimeter at pressures up to 38 MPa. The measurements on isotherms from T = 223 K to T = 323 K were previously published; new measurements from T = 323 K to T = 500 K are presented here On each isotherm, a regression of the virial expansion was constrained to the ab initio values of B(T) and C(T), the regression determined D(T) as well as two apparatus-dependent parameters that compensated for systematic errors in the measurements. The percentage uncertainties of D(T) ranged from 2.6% at T = 223 K to 95% at T = 400 K to 24 7% at T = 500 K, where these uncertainties are expanded uncertainties with coverage factor of k = 2 corresponding to a 95% confidence interval These uncertainties are 1/6th of the uncertainty obtained without the ab initio values of B(T) and C(T) The apparatus-dependent parameters can be used to calibrate the densimeter, and this will reduce the uncertainty of other measurements made with this two-sinker densimeter The new values of D(T) will find applications in accurate gas metrology, such as a primary pressure standard based on the refractive index of helium (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Wintertime sea surface heat flux variability across the Kuroshio Extension (KE) front is analyzed using data from the Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) buoy in the Kuroshio recirculation gyre south of the KE front and from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology KEO (JKEO) buoy in the north of the front. The coincident data used are from periods during two winters (2007 and 2008), when both buoys had a complete suite of meteorological data. In these two winter periods, the focus of this research is on three types of typical weather patterns referred to here as the northerly wind condition, the monsoon wind condition, and the normal condition. During the northerly wind condition, latent and sensible heat fluxes were large and often varied simultaneously at both sites, whereas during the monsoon wind condition the latent heat flux at the KEO site was significantly larger than that at the JKEO site. The difference between these heat flux patterns is attributed to the different airmass transformations that occur when prevailing winds blow across the KE front versus along the front. Reanalysis products appear to reproduce these heat flux spatial patterns at synoptic scales. It is suggested that the relative frequencies of these different types of weather conditions result in anomalous spatial patterns in the heat fluxes on monthly time scales.

AB The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has an important influence on climate, and yet adequate observations of this circulation are lacking. Here, the authors assess the adequacy of past and current widely deployed routine observing systems for monitoring the AMOC and associated North Atlantic climate. To do so, this study draws on two independent simulations of the twentieth century using an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) coupled climate model. One simulation is treated as "truth" and is sampled according to the observing system being evaluated. The authors then assimilate these synthetic "observations" into the second simulation within a fully coupled system that instantaneously exchanges information among all coupled components and produces a nearly balanced and coherent estimate for global climate states including the North Atlantic climate system. The degree to which the assimilation recovers the truth is an assessment of the adequacy of the observing system being evaluated. As the coupled system responds to the constraint of the atmosphere or ocean, the assessment of the recovery for climate quantities such as Labrador Sea Water (LSW) and the North Atlantic Oscillation increases the understanding of the factors that determine AMOC variability. For example, the low-frequency sea surface forcings provided by the atmospheric and sea surface temperature observations are found to excite a LSW variation that governs the long-time-scale variability of the AMOC. When the most complete modern observing system, consisting of atmospheric winds and temperature, is used along with Argo ocean temperature and salinity down to 2000 m, a skill estimate of AMOC reconstruction is 90% (out of 100% maximum). Similarly encouraging results hold for other quantities, such as the LSW. The past XBT observing system, in which deep-ocean temperature and salinity were not available, has a lesser ability to recover the truth AMOC (the skill is reduced to 52%). While these results raise concerns about the ability to properly characterize past variations of the AMOC, they also hold promise for future monitoring of the AMOC and for initializing prediction models.

AB The response of stratospheric climate and circulation to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ozone recovery in the twenty-first century is analyzed in simulations of 11 chemistry-climate models using near-identical forcings and experimental setup. In addition to an overall global cooling of the stratosphere in the simulations (0.59 +/- 6 0.07 K decade(-1) at 10 hPa), ozone recovery causes a warming of the Southern Hemisphere polar lower stratosphere in summer with enhanced cooling above. The rate of warming correlates with the rate of ozone recovery projected by the models and, on average, changes from 0.8 to 0.48 K decade(-1) at 100 hPa as the rate of recovery declines from the first to the second half of the century. In the winter northern polar lower stratosphere the increased radiative cooling from the growing abundance of GHGs is, in most models, balanced by adiabatic warming from stronger polar downwelling. In the Antarctic lower stratosphere the models simulate an increase in low temperature extremes required for polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) formation, but the positive trend is decreasing over the twenty-first century in all models. In the Arctic, none of the models simulates a statistically significant increase in Arctic PSCs throughout the twenty-first century. The subtropical jets accelerate in response to climate change and the ozone recovery produces a westward acceleration of the lower-stratospheric wind over the Antarctic during summer, though this response is sensitive to the rate of recovery projected by the models. There is a strengthening of the Brewer-Dobson circulation throughout the depth of the stratosphere, which reduces the mean age of air nearly everywhere at a rate of about 0.05 yr decade(-1) in those models with this diagnostic. On average, the annual mean tropical upwelling in the lower stratosphere (similar to 70 hPa) increases by almost 2% decade(-1), with 59% of this trend forced by the parameterized orographic gravity wave drag in the models. This is a consequence of the eastward acceleration of the subtropical jets, which increases the upward flux of (parameterized) momentum reaching the lower stratosphere in these latitudes.

AB The viscoplastic behavior of as-fabricated, undamaged, microscale Sn-3.0 Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) Pb-free solder is investigated and compared with that of eutectic Sn-37Pb solder and near-eutectic Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu (SAC387) solder from prior studies. Creep measurements of microscale SAC305 solder shear specimens show significant piece-to-piece variability under identical loading. Orientation imaging microscopy reveals that these specimens contain only a few, highly anisotropic Sn grains across the entire joint. For the studied loads, the coarse-grained Sn microstructure has a more significant impact on the scatter in primary creep compared to that in the secondary creep. The observed lack of statistical homogeneity (microstructure) and joint-dependent mechanical behavior of microscale SAC305 joints are consistent with those observed for functional microelectronics interconnects. Compared with SAC305 joints, microscale Sn-37Pb shear specimens exhibit more homogenous behavior and microstructure with a large number of small Sn (and Pb) grains. Creep damage in the Pb-free joint is predominantly concentrated at highly misoriented Sn grain boundaries. The coarse-grained Sn microstructure recrystallizes into new grains with high misorientation angles under creep loading. In spite of the observed joint-dependent behavior, as-fabricated SAC305 is significantly more creep resistant than Sn-37Pb solder and slightly less creep resistant than near-eutectic SAC387 solder. Average model constants for primary and secondary creep of SAC305 are presented. Since the viscoplastic measurements are averaged over a wide range of grain configurations, the creep model constants represent the effective continuum behavior in an average sense. The average secondary creep behavior suggests that the dominant creep mechanism is dislocation climb assisted by dislocation pipe diffusion.

AB The dynamic process of water transport along the through-plane direction in the membrane electrode assembly of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell was investigated using the high-resolution neutron imaging. Four different membrane/gas diffusion layer or membrane/gas diffusion electrode assemblies were tested by measuring the through-plane water thickness profiles. The results indicate that proper design and assembly of the test fixture are critical for accurate water measurement; the accumulation speed of liquid water inside an assembly varies with time; the ionomer in catalyst layers could facilitate water management in the membrane; the time constants for wetting and drying processes are functions of gas diffusion layer thickness, inlet flow rate, and gas dew point; and the time constant for the wetting process is about 1.4 times longer than the corresponding drying process.

AB Cloud phase identification from active remote sensors in the temperature range from 0 to 40 degrees C, where both liquid and ice hydrometeor phases are sustainable, is challenging. Millimeter wavelength cloud radars (MMCR) are able to penetrate and detect multiple cloud layers. However, in mixed-phase conditions, ice crystals dominate the radar signal, rendering the detection of liquid droplets from radar observables more difficult. The technique proposed here overcomes this fundamental limitation by using morphological features in MMCR Doppler spectra to detect supercooled liquid droplets in the radar sampling volume in the presence of ice particles. High lidar backscatter and near-zero lidar depolarization measurements (good indicators of the presence of liquid droplets) from the Mixed-Phase Arctic Clouds Experiment (MPACE) conducted in Barrow, Alaska, are used to train the technique and evaluate its potential for detecting mixed-phase conditions. Ceilometer, microwave radiometer, and radiosonde measurements provide additional independent validation. Because of the ability of MMCRs to penetrate multiple liquid layers, this radar-based technique does not suffer from the extinction limitations of lidars and is thus able to expand cloud phase identification methods to cloud regions beyond where lidars can penetrate, providing output at the native radar resolution. The technique is applicable to all profiling radars that have sufficient sensitivity to observe the small amount of liquid in mixed-phase clouds.

AB The rate of precipitation increase with elevation, termed the orographic precipitation gradient (OPG), is critically important for hydrologic forecasting in mountain basins that receive both rain and snow. Here, the following are examined to see how well they are able to predict the OPG and how it changes between storms and years: 1) a linear model of orographic precipitation forced by upstream radiosonde data, 2) monthly Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) precipitation data, and 3) seven years of hourly wind profiler data used to identify characteristics of the Sierra barrier jet (SBJ). These are compared against 124 daily resolution (four of which also had quality controlled, hourly resolution) precipitation gauge records in the northern Sierra Nevada. All methods represent the OPG well in the mean and during a year when less than 30% of the precipitation occurred on days with SBJs. However, the linear model and PRISM do not adequately capture annual variations in the OPG during years when more than 70% of the precipitation occurred on days with SBJs. Throughout all of the years, wind profiler data indicating the height of the SBJ provided additional, and necessary, information. The OPG is negatively correlated with the height of the SBJ. The SBJ height is lower, and hence, the OPG greater when the westerly winds are stronger, with more vertical wind shear. These westerly storms result in greater increases of precipitation with elevation, which act to increase snow storage in most storms but also to increase storm runoff during warmer-than-average storms.

AB The bright band (BB) is a layer of enhanced reflectivity due to melting of aggregated snow and ice crystals. The locally high reflectivity causes significant overestimation in radar precipitation estimates if an appropriate correction is not applied. The main objective of the current study is to develop a method that automatically corrects for large errors due to BB effects in a real-time national radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) product. An approach that combines the mean apparent vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) computed from a volume scan of radar reflectivity observations and an idealized linear VPR model was used for computational efficiency. The methodology was tested for eight events from different regions and seasons in the United States. The VPR correction was found to be effective and robust in reducing overestimation errors in radar-derived QPE, and the corrected radar precipitation fields showed physically continuous distributions. The correction worked consistently well for radars in flat land regions because of the relatively uniform spatial distributions of the BB in those areas. For radars in mountainous regions, the performance of the correction is mixed because of limited radar visibility in addition to large spatial variations of the vertical precipitation structure due to underlying topography.

AB Thermoviscoelastic properties and creep response of two commercial ambient temperature cure epoxy structural adhesives were analyzed and compared. The adhesives were formulated by the same manufacturer and appeared to be chemically similar; however, one system contained accelerators to shorten its cure time. In the laboratory, dynamic mechanical temperature/frequency sweeps were performed on both systems to generate dynamic mechanical and creep compliance master curves using time-temperature superposition principles. Differences were observed in the dynamic mechanical properties of the two adhesive systems as well as in their calculated creep compliance, which have been attributed to differences in their curing agent(s) and accelerator(s). Full-scale creep tests were carried out on anchors installed in concrete slabs and subjected to sustained loads for 82 days. These results were in good agreement with the creep compliance estimated using time-temperature superposition, suggesting that dynamic mechanical testing can be a useful metrology for characterizing trends in creep behavior.

AB We describe on-chip microwave generation of spatial temperature gradients in a polymeric microfluidic device that includes an integrated microstrip transmission line. The transmission line was fabricated photolithographically on commercially available adhesive copper tape. The fluid temperature during microwave heating was measured by observing the temperature-dependent fluorescence intensity of a dye solution in the microchannel. Large interference effects, which were produced by superposition of a sinusoidal and two exponential temperature distributions, were measured at 12 GHz and 19 GHz. Temperature extremes of 31 degrees C and 53 degrees C at the minimum and maximum of the sinusoid were established within 1 s. The sinusoid also produced a quasilinear temperature gradient along a 2 mm distance with a slope of 7.3 degrees C mm(-1). This technique has the potential to benefit many biological, chemical and physical applications requiring rapid temperature gradients.

TI Momentum Flux Budget across the Air-Sea Interface under Uniform and

AB In coupled ocean-atmosphere models, it is usually assumed that the momentum flux into ocean currents is equal to the flux from air (wind stress). However, when the surface wave field grows (decays) in space or time, it gains (loses) momentum and reduces (increases) the momentum flux into subsurface currents compared to the flux from the wind. In particular, under tropical cyclone (TC) conditions the surface wave field is complex and fast varying in space and time and may significantly affect the momentum flux from wind into ocean. In this paper, numerical experiments are performed to investigate the momentum flux budget across the air-sea interface under both uniform and idealized TC winds. The wave fields are simulated using the WAVEWATCH III model. The difference between the momentum flux from wind and the flux into currents is estimated using an air-sea momentum flux budget model. In many of the experiments, the momentum flux into currents is significantly reduced relative to the flux from the wind. The percentage of this reduction depends on the choice of the drag coefficient parameterization and can be as large as 25%. For the TC cases, the reduction is mainly in the right-rear quadrant of the hurricane, and the percentage of the flux reduction is insensitive to the changes of the storm size and the asymmetry in the wind field but varies with the TC translation speed and the storm intensity. The results of this study suggest that it is important to explicitly resolve the effect of surface waves for accurate estimations of the momentum flux into currents under TCs.

Southern Hemisphere Winds
SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY

DT Article
ID ANTARCTIC CIRCUMPOLAR CURRENT; CIRCULATION MODELS; CLIMATE MODELS;
TRANSPORT
AB It has been suggested that a strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere winds would induce a more vigorous overturning through an increased northward Ekman flux, bringing more light waters into the oceanic basins and enhancing the upwelling of North Atlantic Deep Water in the Southern Ocean, thereby increasing ocean ventilation. Simulations from a coarse-and a fine-resolution version of a coupled model, subject to idealized wind stress changes in the Southern Ocean, are presented. In the fine-resolution eddy-permitting model, changes in poleward eddy fluxes largely compensate for the enhanced equatorward Ekman transport in the Southern Ocean. As a consequence, northward transport of light waters, pycnocline depth, Northern Hemisphere overturning, and Southern Ocean upwelling anomalies are much reduced compared with simulations in the coarse-resolution model with parameterized eddies. These results suggest a relatively weak sensitivity of present-day global ocean overturning circulation to the projected strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere winds.

AB A methodology was developed for assessing student performance with respect to program outcomes and course objectives using available graded coursework. The methodology uses a matrix formulation to relate individual coursework problems to program outcomes and course objectives. Assessment data and required mapping matrices are collected in spreadsheet form and automatically transferred to a relational database. Student and class performance with respect to program objectives is calculated using Structured Query Language (SQL) queries and data fitting through least-squares. The methodology was used to collect data, assess student performance, and identify necessary program changes over a four-year period in an engineering program.

AB Immunoaffinity depletion with antibodies to the top 7 or top 14 high-abundance plasma proteins is used to enhance detection of lower abundance proteins in both shotgun and targeted proteomic analyses. We evaluated the effects of top 7/top 14 immunodepletion on the shotgun proteomic analysis of human plasma. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of immunodepletion on detection of proteins across detectable ranges of abundance. The depletion columns afforded highly repeatable and efficient plasma protein fractionation. Relatively few nontargeted proteins were captured by the depletion columns. Analyses of unfractionated and immunodepleted plasma by peptide isoelectric focusing (IEF), followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), demonstrated enrichment of nontargeted plasma proteins by an average of 4-fold, as assessed by MS/MS spectral counting. Either top 7 or top 14 immunodepletion resulted in a 25% increase in identified proteins compared to unfractionated plasma. Although 23 low-abundance (<10 ng mL(-1)) plasma proteins were detected, they accounted for only 5-6% of total protein identifications in immunodepleted plasma. In both unfractionated and immunodepleted plasma, the 50 most abundant plasma proteins accounted for 90% of cumulative spectral counts and precursor ion intensities, leaving little capacity to sample lower abundance proteins. Untargeted proteomic analyses using current LC-MS/MS platforms-even with immunodepletion-cannot be expected to efficiently discover low-abundance, disease-specific biomarkers in plasma.

AB This is the second of a series of articles reporting critically evaluated rotational-vibrational line positions, transition intensities, pressure dependences, and energy levels, with associated critically reviewed assignments and uncertainties, for all the main isotopologues of water. This article presents energy levels and line positions of the following singly deuterated isotopologues of water: (HDO)-O-16, (HDO)-O-17, and (HDO)-O-18. The MARVEL (measured active rotational-vibrational energy levels) procedure is used to determine the levels, the lines, and their self-consistent uncertainties for the spectral regions 0-22708, 0-1674, and 0-12 105 cm(-1) for (HDO)-O-16, (HDO)-O-17, and (HDO)-O-18, respectively. For (HDO)-O-16, 54 740 transitions were analyzed from 76 sources, the lines come from spectra recorded both at room temperature and from hot samples. These lines correspond to 36 690 distinct assignments and 8818 energy levels. For (HDO)-O-17, only 485 transitions could be analyzed from three sources; the lines correspond to 162 MARVEL energy levels. For (HDO)-O-18, 8729 transitions were analyzed from 11 sources and these lines correspond to 1864 energy levels. The energy levels are checked against ones determined from accurate variational nuclear motion computations employing exact kinetic energy operators. This comparison shows that the measured transitions account for about 86% of the anticipated absorbance of (HDO)-O-16 at 296 K and that the transitions predicted by the MARVEL energy levels account for essentially all the remaining absorbance. The extensive list of MARVEL lines and levels obtained are given in the Supplementary Material of this article, as well as in a distributed information system applied to water, W@DIS, where they can easily be retrieved. In addition, the transition and energy level information for (H2O)-O-17 and (H2O)-O-18, given in the first paper of this series [Tennyson, et al.

AB Hydrogenation of tetragonal InPd3 in the ZrAl3 type structure (four-fold ccp superstructure) yields a hydride with a cubic AuCu3 type structure (one-fold ccp superstructure). Deuterium can be located by neutron powder diffraction in octahedral voids surrounded exclusively by palladium, [Pd-6], which are 88.5(6)% occupied in a statistical manner. The resulting deuteride InPd3D0.89 thus crystallizes in a cubic anti-perovskite type structure (space group Pm (3) over barm (no. 221), a=402.25(1) pm at 299(2) K). The Pd-D distance of 201.13(1) pm is typical for interstitial hydrides with palladium. Inelastic neutron scattering on the hydride InPd3H0.89, which shows a spectrum similar to that of binary palladium hydride, confirms the cubic site symmetry of hydrogen in [Pd-6] interstices. This is also confirmed by the absence of any quadrupole splitting in the D-2-NMR signal of the deuteride. H-1 NMR spectra of InPd3H0.89 do not show any motional narrowing. Values found for the H jump rate tau(-1) in InPd3H0.89 remain below 10(6) s(-1) in the studied temperature range 28-360K. indicating a small hydrogen mobility in InPd3H0.8 as compared with binary palladium hydride, PdH (<= 1).This can be attributed to the large spatial separation of the [Pd-6] sites.

AB This paper discusses the progressive collapse resistance of steel-concrete composite floors in which steel beams are attached to columns through shear tabs. This is a common type of system used for the gravity bay portions of steel buildings. The study is conducted using computational simulation models validated through extensive comparisons to disparate test data. The models are used to investigate key parameters influencing the robustness of generic composite floors subjected to the removal of a center column. In particular, the effects of deck thickness, steel reinforcement, and the numbers of bolts in the shear tab connection on the behavior of the system are studied as a function of the loading scheme. The simulation results show that the majority of collapse resistance comes from the steel deck and that, for the system considered, increasing connection strength by adding more bolts might not be that beneficial in increasing overall collapse strength. The dynamic impact factor, which is widely used to account for dynamic effects within a static design framework, is also computed and the DIF value recommended in existing design guidelines is evaluated.

ID FLASH-FLOOD; RAINFALL; BASIN
AB Many of the storms creating the greatest rainfall depths in Texas, measured over durations ranging from one minute to 48 hours, have occurred in the Texas Hill Country area. The upstream portion of the Guadalupe River Basin, located in the Texas Hill Country, is susceptible to flooding and rapid runoff due to thin soils, exposed bedrock, and sparse vegetation, in addition to the Balcones Escarpment uplift contributing to precipitation enhancement. In November 2004, a moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico combined with moist air from the Pacific Ocean resulted in the wettest November in Texas since 1895. Although the peak discharges were not the highest on record, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream gauge on the Guadalupe River at Gonzales, Texas reported a daily mean discharge of 2,304 m(3)/s on November 23, 2004 (average discharge is 53 m(3)/s). In this paper, we examine the meteorological conditions that led to this event and apply a two-dimensional, physically based, distributed-parameter hydrologic model to simulate the response of a portion of the basin during this event. The study results clearly demonstrate the ability of physically based, distributed-parameter simulations, driven by operational radar rainfall products, to adequately model the cumulative effect of two rainfall events and route inflows from three upstream watersheds without the need for significant calibration.

Our technique is based on the parabolic equation for optical wave propagation and the Markov approximation for the calculation of statistical moments of beam intensity. This first of two companion papers presents the details of the path integral formulation of the solution for the fourth-order coherence function. We also discuss in detail two analytic techniques that can be used for the treatment of the path integrals. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

ID OPTICAL SCINTILLATION
AB On the basis of the analytic techniques presented in the first of these two companion papers [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 27, 2169 (2010)] we present the complete asymptotic analysis of the axial beam scintillation index for coherent Gaussian beams on the ground-to-space propagation paths. The ratio of turbulence layer thickness to overall propagation path length contributes an additional small parameter to the analysis. We show that it is possible to use three dimensionless parameters to describe the problem and that the general arrangement of the asymptotic regions established in our earlier work [Waves Random Media 4, 243 (1994)]) is preserved. We find that on a slant propagation path, collimated beams can experience the unusual double-scattering-dominated scintillation found originally for focused beams. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

ID ATOMIC-FORCE MICROSCOPE; AFM IMAGE
AB The inevitable tilt angle resulting from attaching a carbon nanotube to an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe causes probe-related distortion on one sidewall of the linewidth sample during an AFM scan. In order to obtain accurate images at both sidewalls, an image stitching method was proposed in our previous research. An improved digital image correlation technique is outlined here to register two scanned images and detect the relative lateral distortion between them. Then image correction is performed pixel by pixel on both images prior to the stitching. A composite image is formed by stitching these two corrected images, and the linewidth is calculated based on this composite image. Since this method removes a significant portion of in-plane distortion between two images due to the nonlinearity of the AFM piezoelectric tube scanner, uncertainty in the calculation of linewidth due to the image stitching component is estimated to be reduced to the subpixel level from its former estimation of approximately three pixels. The procedure is tested with two standard linewidth features.

AB Results are presented from a theoretical and experimental investigation of the frequency transfer uncertainty (FTU) in long-distance comparisons of frequency standards. The FTU can be an important component of the total uncertainty in such comparisons. The use of the Allan deviation in characterizing the FTU is analysed theoretically and it is shown that for certain noise types the Allan deviation is biased high. A potentially more accurate first difference statistic that can be used in certain situations is also discussed. In addition, an experimental determination of the noise types and levels in common transfer techniques is presented. It is shown that FTUs approaching 1 part in 10(16) at 30 days are possible with current transfer methods. Finally, a method is presented for estimating the FTU in calibrating International Atomic Time (TAI) with a primary frequency standard.

AB With the increasing use of simulations in materials research and design, it is important to quantify the differences between, and accuracy of, models used in these simulations. Here we present the results of such a comparison for four embedded-atom models of aluminum that were optimized to have good liquid properties, particularly the melting temperatures. The effects of temperature and volume are systematically examined in the melts for bulk thermodynamic quantities, pair correlation functions and structure factors and diffusion coefficients for each interatomic potential. Where possible, these are then compared with experimental values. We find quantitative differences in the properties determined from the various interatomic potentials despite the fact that they were fit with similar sets of data.

AB Chemical composition and ordering at the (1 1 1) anti-phase boundary (APB) in the Ni3Al-based gamma' phase have been studied by semi-grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations at temperatures from 700 to 1300 K. The atomic interactions are modeled with an embedded-atom potential reproducing the relevant part of the Ni-Al phase diagram. In a certain range of bulk compositions and temperatures within the gamma' phase stability domain, the APB undergoes a pre-wetting transformation by becoming a layer of disordered gamma phase. The pre-wetting transformation line is mapped onto the bulk phase diagram allowing predictions of the APB state under various thermochemical conditions.

AB Pleistocene ice-ages greatly influenced the historical abundances of Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, in the North Pacific and its marginal seas. We surveyed genetic variation at 11 microsatellite loci and mitochondrial (mt) DNA in samples from twelve locations from the Sea of Japan to Washington State. Both microsatellite (mean H = 0.868) and mtDNA haplotype (mean h = 0.958) diversities were large and did not show any geographical trends. Genetic differentiation between samples was significantly correlated with geographical distance between samples for both microsatellites (F(ST) = 0.028, r2 = 0.33) and mtDNA (F(ST) = 0.027, r2 = 0.18). Both marker classes showed a strong genetic discontinuity between northwestern and northeastern Pacific populations that likely represents groups previously isolated during glaciations that are now in secondary contact. Significant differences appeared between samples from the Sea of Japan and Okhotsk Sea that may reflect ice-age isolations in the northwest Pacific. In the northeast Pacific, a microsatellite and mtDNA partition was detected between coastal and Georgia Basin populations. The presence of two major coastal mtDNA lineages on either side of the Pacific Ocean basin implies at least two ice-age refugia and separate postglacial population expansions facilitated by different glacial histories. Northward expansions into the Gulf of Alaska were possible 14-15 kyr ago, but deglaciation and colonization of the Georgia Basin probably occurred somewhat later. Population expansions were evident in mtDNA mismatch distributions and in Bayesian skyline plots of the three major lineages, but the start of expansions appeared to pre-date the last glacial maximum.

AB Lightning mapping, electric field, and radar data from the 26 May 2004 supercell in central Oklahoma are used to examine the storm's charge structure. An initial arc-shaped maximum in lightning activity on the right flank of the storm's bounded weak echo region was composed of an elevated normal polarity tripole in the region of precipitation lofted above the storm's weak echo region. Later in the storm, two charge structures were associated with precipitation that reached the ground. To the left of the weak echo region, six charge regions were inferred, with positive charge carried on hail at the bottom of the stack. Farther forward in the storm's precipitation region, four charge regions were inferred, with negative charge at the bottom of the stack. There were different charge structures in adjacent regions of the storm at the same time, and regions of opposite polarity charge were horizontally adjacent at the same altitude. Flashes occasionally lowered positive charge to ground from the forward charge region. A conceptual model is presented that ties charge structure in different regions of the storm to storm structure inferred from radar reflectivity.

AB In recent years, there has been widespread interest in collecting and analyzing rapid updates of radar data in severe convective storms. To this end, conventional single-polarization rapid-scan radars and phased array radar systems have been employed in numerous studies. However, rapid updates of dual-polarization radar data in storms are not widely available. For this study, a rapid scanning strategy is developed for the polarimetric prototype research Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radar in Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN), which emulates the future capabilities of a polarimetric multifunction phased array radar (MPAR). With this strategy, data are collected over an 80 degrees sector with 0.5 degrees azimuthal spacing and 250-m radial resolution ("super resolution"), with 12 elevation angles. Thus, full volume scans over a limited area are collected every 71-73 s.
The scanning strategy was employed on a cyclic nontornadic supercell storm in western Oklahoma on 1 June 2008. The evolution of the polarimetric signatures in the supercell is analyzed. The repetitive pattern of evolution of these polarimetric features is found to be directly tied to the cyclic occlusion process of the low-level mesocyclone. The cycle for each of the polarimetric signatures is presented and described in detail, complete with a microphysical interpretation. In doing so, for the first time the bulk microphysical properties of the storm on small time scales (inferred from polarimetric data) are analyzed. The documented evolution of the polarimetric signatures could be used operationally to aid in the detection and determination of various stages of the low-level mesocyclone occlusion.

TI Retrospective Forecasts of the Hurricane Season Using a Global
Atmospheric Model Assuming Persistence of SST Anomalies
SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW

DT Article
ID TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY; SURFACE TEMPERATURE; EL-NINO; FREQUENCY;
VARIABILITY; SIMULATIONS; ENSO
AB Retrospective predictions of seasonal hurricane activity in the Atlantic and east Pacific are generated using an atmospheric model with 50-km horizontal resolution by simply persisting sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from June through the hurricane season. Using an ensemble of 5 realizations for each year between 1982 and 2008, the correlations of the model mean predictions with observations of basin-wide hurricane frequency are 0.69 in the North Atlantic and 0.58 in the east Pacific. In the North Atlantic, a significant part of the degradation in skill as compared to a model forced with observed SSTs during the hurricane season (correlation of 0.78) can be explained by the change from June through the hurricane season in one parameter, the difference between the SST in the main development region and the tropical mean SST. In fact, simple linear regression models with this one predictor perform nearly as well as the full dynamical model for basin-wide hurricane frequency in both the east Pacific and the North Atlantic. The implication is that the quality of seasonal forecasts based on a coupled atmosphere-ocean model will depend in large part on the model's ability to predict the evolution of this difference between main development region SST and tropical mean SST.

AB A "biased twin" experiment using two coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) that are biased with respect to each other is used to study the impact of deep ocean bias on ensemble ocean data assimilation. The "observations" drawn from one CGCM based on the Argo network are assimilated into the other. Traditional ensemble filtering can successfully recover the upper-ocean temperature and salinity of the target model but it usually fails to converge in the deep ocean where the model bias is large compared to the ocean's intrinsic variability. The inconsistency between the well-constrained upper ocean and poorly constrained deep ocean generates spurious assimilation currents. An adaptively inflated ensemble filter is designed to enhance the consistency of upper-and deep-ocean adjustments, based on "climatological" standard deviations being adaptively updated by observations. The new algorithm reduces deep-ocean errors greatly, in particular, reducing current errors up to 70% and vertical motion errors up to 50%. Specifically, the tropical circulation is greatly improved with a better representation of the undercurrent, upwelling, and Western Boundary Current systems. The structure of the subtropical gyre is also substantially improved. Consequently, the new algorithm leads to better estimates of important global hydrographic features such as global overturning and pycnocline depth. Based on these improved estimates, decadal trends of basin-scale heat content and salinity as well as the seasonal-interannual variability of the tropical ocean are constructed coherently. Interestingly, the Indian Ocean (especially the north Indian Ocean), which is associated with stronger atmospheric feedbacks, is the most sensitive basin to the covariance formulation used in the assimilation. Also, while reconstruction of the local thermohaline structure plays a leading-order role in estimating the decadal trend of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), more accurate estimates of the AMOC variability require coupled assimilation to produce coherently improved external forcings as well as internal heat and salt transport.

AB Multipartite entanglement is essential for quantum computation(1) and communication(2-4), and for fundamental tests of quantum mechanics(5) and precision measurements(6). It has been achieved with various forms of quantum bits (qubits), such as trapped ions(7,8), photons(9) and atoms passing through microwave cavities(10). Quantum systems based on superconducting circuits, which are potentially more scalable, have been used to control pair-wise interactions of qubits(11-16) and spectroscopic evidence for three-particle entanglement was observed(17,18). Here, we report the demonstration of coherent interactions in the time domain for three directly coupled superconducting quantum systems, two phase qubits and one resonant cavity. We provide evidence for the deterministic evolution from a simple product state, through a tripartite W state, into a (bipartite) Bell state. The cavity can be thought of as a multiphoton register or an entanglement bus, and arbitrary preparation of multiphoton states in this cavity using one of the qubits(19) and subsequent interactions for entanglement distribution should allow for the deterministic creation of another class of entanglement, a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state.

SO NATURE PHYSICS

ID EPITAXIAL GRAPHENE; LOCALIZATION; GRAPHITE; GAS
AB The symmetry of graphene's two carbon sublattices underlies its unique electronic structure and half-integer quantum Hall effect. Quantized Hall resistance requires confinement of cyclotron orbits (Landau levels) in the sample interior. Such magnetic localization may be unique in graphene, especially for the fourfold-degenerate Landau level (LL(0)) straddling graphene's charge-neutrality energy. Here we map the two-dimensional spatial distribution of LL(0), using cryogenic scanning tunnelling spectroscopy to measure the local density of states (LDOS) on electronically decoupled multilayer epitaxial graphene. Unlike disordered LDOS patterns found in conventional quantum Hall systems, we find an organized pattern of localized states and extended states that emerge above a threshold magnetic field. In distinct regions, an energy gap associated with lattice-scale variations of the LDOS suggests the sublattice (and LL(0) valley) degeneracy is locally lifted. We propose this occurs when cyclotron orbits become small enough to sample regions of small symmetry-breaking potential originating from a graphene-on-graphene moire.

TI A Regional Approach for Monitoring Salmonid Status and Trends: Results
from a Pilot Study in Coastal Mendocino County, California
SO NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT
LA English
DT Article
ID CHINOOK SALMON; REDD COUNTS; DESIGN
AB In coastal California, many evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, and steelhead O. mykiss are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). Monitoring species status at the ESU or ESU subdivision scale requires specialized sampling. The purposes of this study were (1) to evaluate abundance estimated from a generalized random tessellation stratified (GRTS) design and compare the results with those from a more intensive stratified random monitoring program and (2) to evaluate the statistical power of the design to detect population trends. This 3-year pilot study considered five Mendocino County streams as an example region of coastal California to evaluate a two-stage sampling approach for monitoring regional escapement. Under this scheme, regional redd surveys (stage 1) were conducted in stream reaches in a GRTS sampling design. Ten percent of anadromous habitat was sampled in year 1 and 10-35% in years 2 and 3. Spawner : redd ratios were derived from smaller-scale census watersheds (stage 2) where "true" escapement was estimated using capture-recapture methods. Regional escapement was then estimated from expanded redd counts, calibrated by spawner : redd ratios. As an alternative, more intensive method for estimating escapement, three survey streams were also sampled in a stratified random design. The results, added to counts from the census basins, produced more rigorous "sum-of-streams'' estimates for comparison with the GRTS sampling. Redd counts and the resulting escapement estimates were reliable for regional monitoring. The GRTS and sum-of-streams estimates overlapped, and the variation in the 95% confidence intervals did not change after 15%. Our results suggest that a sample size of 15% or 41 or more reaches (whichever results in fewer survey reaches) should have adequate precision and statistical power to detect regional trends in salmon populations. We recommend that this monitoring approach be applied at regional spatial scales consistent with ESA recovery planning efforts.

CALIFORNIA; STREAMS; RIVER; TIME
AB Population monitoring is essential to know whether coastal California's Endangered Species Act-listed Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, and steelhead O. mykiss stocks are progressing toward recovery. In coastal California, salmonids are at the southern edge of their range, and this one of many reasons they are not abundant. This provides unique challenges for monitoring, as different survey methods will result in estimates with different levels of accuracy and precision, which are important for evaluating population trends. For this study we intensively monitored three Mendocino County watersheds to evaluate the reliability of two-stage data for monitoring regional escapement. Under this scheme, regional spawning surveys (stage 1) were calibrated with data from intensively monitored watersheds (stage 2), where escapement was estimated using capture-recapture methods, redd counts, and fish counts. The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of the stage 2 data for calibrating regional surveys. We evaluated the precision of live-fish capture-recapture estimates and compared these estimates with estimates derived from spawning survey data using carcass capture-recapture, area under the curve (AUC), and redd counts. Live-fish capture-recapture produced escapement estimates with narrower 95% confidence bounds where permanent structures were used to capture fish. Redd counts converted to fish numbers using spawner : redd ratios were chosen for the regional salmonid monitoring method because they were reliable, economical, and less intrusive. Converted redd counts were statistically and operationally similar to live-fish capture-recapture estimates but required fewer resources. The AUC estimates were less reliable than converted redd counts and live-fish capture-recapture methods due to the sensitivity of the estimates of residence time and observer efficiency. Finally, we found that carcass capture-recapture methods were operationally unsuccessful in coastal California streams. On the basis of our results, we recommend that annual spawner : redd ratios from intensively monitored watersheds be used to calibrate redd counts for regional status and trend monitoring of California's coastal salmonids.

AB We report the results of an experiment to determine whether the half-life of Au-198 depends on the shape of the source. This study was motivated by recent suggestions that nuclear decay rates may be affected by solar activity, perhaps arising from solar neutrinos. If this were the case then the beta-decay rates, or half-lives, of a thin foil sample and a spherical sample of gold of the same mass and activity could be different. We find for Au-198, (T-1/2)(foil)/(T-1/2)sphere = 0.999 +/- 0.002, where T-1/2 is the mean half-life. The maximum neutrino flux at the sample in our experiments was several times greater than the flux of solar neutrinos at the surface of the Earth. We show that this increase in flux leads to a significant improvement in the limits that can be inferred on a possible solar contribution to nuclear decays. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

AB A method based on Monte Carlo techniques is presented for evaluating thermonuclear reaction rates. We begin by reviewing commonly applied procedures and point out that reaction rates that have been reported up to now in the literature have no rigorous statistical meaning. Subsequently, we associate each nuclear physics quantity entering in the calculation of reaction rates with a specific probability density function, including Gaussian, lognormal and chi-squared distributions. Based on these probability density functions the total reaction rate is randomly sampled many times until the required statistical precision is achieved. This procedure results in a median (Monte Carlo) rate which agrees under certain conditions with the commonly reported recommended "classical" rate. In addition, we present at each temperature a low rate and a high rate, corresponding to the 0.16 and 0.84 quantiles of the cumulative reaction rate distribution. These quantities are in general different from the statistically meaningless "minimum" (or "lower limit") and "maximum" (or "upper limit") reaction rates which are commonly reported. Furthermore, we approximate the output reaction rate probability density function by a lognormal distribution and present, at each temperature, the lognormal parameters it and a. The values of these quantities will be crucial for future Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis studies. Our new reaction rates, appropriate for bare nuclei in the laboratory, are tabulated in the second paper of this issue (Paper II). The nuclear physics input used to derive our reaction rates is presented in the third paper of this issue (Paper III). In the fourth paper of this issue (Paper IV) we compare our new reaction rates to previous results. (C) 2010 Elsevier BA,. All rights reserved.

AB Numerical values of charged-particle thermonuclear reaction rates for nuclei in the A = 14 to 40 region are tabulated. The results are obtained using a method, based on Monte Carlo techniques, that has been described in the preceding paper of this issue (Paper I). We present a low rate, median rate and high rate which correspond to the 0.16, 0.50 and 0.84 quantiles, respectively, of the cumulative reaction rate distribution. The meaning of these quantities is in general different from the commonly reported, but statistically meaningless expressions, "lower limit", "nominal value" and "upper limit" of the total reaction rate. In addition, we approximate the Monte Carlo probability density function of the total reaction rate by a lognormal distribution and tabulate the lognormal parameters it and a at each temperature. We also provide a quantitative measure (Anderson Darling test statistic) for the reliability of the lognormal approximation. The user can implement the approximate lognormal reaction rate probability density functions directly in a stellar model code for studies of stellar energy generation and nucleosynthesis. For each reaction, the Monte Carlo reaction rate probability density functions, together with their lognormal approximations, are displayed graphically for selected temperatures in order to provide a visual impression. Our new reaction rates are appropriate for bare nuclei in the laboratory. The nuclear physics input used to derive our reaction rates is presented in the subsequent paper of this issue (Paper III). In the fourth paper of this issue (Paper IV) we compare our new reaction rates to previous results. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

ID SQUEEZED STATES; QUANTUM
AB Most quantum computation schemes propose encoding qubits in two-level systems. Others exploit the use of an infinite-dimensional system. In "Encoding a qubit in an oscillator" [Phys. Rev. A 64, 012310 (2001)], Gottesman, Kitaev, and Preskill (GKP) combined these approaches when they proposed a fault-tolerant quantum computation scheme in which a qubit is encoded in the continuous position and momentum degrees of freedom of an oscillator. One advantage of this scheme is that it can be performed by use of relatively simple linear optical devices, squeezing, and homodyne detection. However, we lack a practical method to prepare the initial GKP states. Here we propose the generation of an approximate GKP state by using superpositions of optical coherent states (sometimes called "Schrodinger cat states"), squeezing, linear optical devices, and homodyne detection.

ID VIABILITY ANALYSIS
AB While little is known about hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata in the eastern Pacific Ocean, available information suggests that the population has declined substantially in recent decades and could be near extirpation in the region. To evaluate the current status of the population more effectively and to determine the feasibility of recovery efforts, a workshop of regional marine turtle specialists was held in June 2008 in Los Cobanos, El Salvador. An international working group, Iniciativa Carey del Pacifico Oriental (ICAPO; Eastern Pacific Hawksbill Initiative in English), was established to consolidate information, promote conservation projects and raise awareness about the species. We present information derived from the workshop and compiled by the ICAPO working group since that time. Considering only records from 1 January 2007 to 31 May 2009 it appears that El Salvador hosts the majority of known hawksbill turtle nesting activity in the eastern Pacific, with 79.6% (n = 430) of all nesting observation records, and Mexico hosts the majority of records of hawksbill turtles at sea, with 60.3% (n = 44) of all in-water observation records. Although current abundance is very low, the pervasiveness of the species in the region suggests potential for conservation and recovery. Despite a historical paucity of research focusing on this population, the relatively large and steadily increasing number of records as a result of concerted efforts demonstrates the viability of the ICAPO network as an instrument to promote conservation of this species in the eastern Pacific.

AB Forty-five of the 107 species of marine benthic algae collected during 2004 and 2006 NOAA cruises to isolated Johnston Atoll and two additional species from earlier collections represent new species records. Total number of algae is now increased to 189 species: 26 species of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), 105 species of red algae, 15 species of brown algae, and 43 species of green algae. The macroalga Caulerpa serrulata and the epiphyte Lomentaria bakodatensis were the most widely distributed species at Johnston Atoll based on frequency of occurrence at 10 of 12 stations and 8 of 12 stations, respectively, during the 2004 NOAA cruise. Despite the atoll's isolation, the parasitic red alga Neotenophycus ichthyosteus and the cyanobacterium Borzia elongata are the only endemic algal species on Johnston Atoll. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling analyses indicate that taxonomic affinities of Johnston Atoll lie between French Frigate Shoals and Wake Atoll. In terms of atolls, biodiversity of the marine flora of Johnston Atoll (i.e., 189 species) is surpassed only by the 256 algal species of the much-larger and better-studied Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

AB We model the effects of an internal wave on the structure of the oceanic subsurface bubble layer, generated by breaking surface waves. We consider two situations: when breaking is caused either by a strong sustained wind or by the direct interaction of surface waves with an internal wave. We find that the effects are twofold; bubbles are driven by the internal wave field and the injection of bubbles into the water is enhanced in downwelling areas behind the crests of the internal wave. We use an uncoupled problem formulation, substituting the solution for an internal wave in a two-layer fluid model into the equations describing the bubble dynamics. The latter equations are solved numerically, showing structure formation in the bubble layer for each of the two cases, when one of the aforementioned mechanisms dominates the other.

AB The Oyashio region in the western North Pacific supports high biological productivity and has been well monitored. We applied the NEMURO (North Pacific Ecosystem Model for Understanding Regional Oceanography) model to simulate the nutrients, phytoplankton, and zooplankton dynamics. Determination of parameters values is very important, yet ad hoc calibration methods are often used. We used the automatic calibration software PEST (model-independent Parameter ESTimation), which has been used previously with NEMURO but in a system without ontogenetic vertical migration of the large zooplankton functional group. Determining the performance of PEST with vertical migration, and obtaining a set of realistic parameter values for the Oyashio, will likely be useful in future applications of NEMURO. Five identical twin simulation experiments were performed with the one-box version of NEMURO. The experiments differed in whether monthly snapshot or averaged state variables were used, in whether state variables were model functional groups or were aggregated (total phytoplankton, small plus large zooplankton), and in whether vertical migration of large zooplankton was included or not. We then applied NEMURO to monthly climatological field data covering 1 year for the Oyashio, and compared model fits and parameter values between PEST-determined estimates and values used in previous applications to the Oyashio region that relied on ad hoc calibration. We substituted the PEST and ad hoc calibrated parameter values into a 3-D version of NEMURO for the western North Pacific, and compared the two sets of spatial maps of chlorophyll-a with satellite-derived data. The identical twin experiments demonstrated that PEST could recover the known model parameter values when vertical migration was included, and that over-fitting can occur as a result of slight differences in the values of the state variables. PEST recovered known parameter values when using monthly snapshots of aggregated state variables, but estimated a different set of parameters with monthly averaged values. Both sets of parameters resulted in good fits of the model to the simulated data. Disaggregating the variables provided to PEST into functional groups did not solve the over-fitting problem, and including vertical migration seemed to amplify the problem. When we used the climatological field data, simulated values with PEST-estimated parameters were closer to these field data than with the previously determined ad hoc set of parameter values. When these same PEST and ad hoc sets of parameter values were substituted into 3-D-NEMURO (without vertical migration), the PEST-estimated parameter values generated spatial maps that were similar to the satellite data for the Kuroshio Extension during January and March and for the subarctic ocean from May to November. With non-linear problems, such as vertical migration, PEST should be used with caution because parameter estimates can be sensitive to how the data are prepared and to the values used for the searching parameters of PEST. We recommend the usage of PEST, or other parameter optimization methods, to generate first-order parameter estimates for simulating specific systems and for insertion into 2-D and 3-D models. The parameter estimates that are generated are useful, and the inconsistencies between simulated values and the available field data provide valuable information on model behavior and the dynamics of the ecosystem.

AB Understanding marine ecosystem dynamics is a key challenge and opportunity facing us. One of the ways we can continue to unravel and understand marine ecosystem dynamics is via ecosystem modeling. We used one such model. ATLANTIS, to help explore the dynamics of the Northeast United States (NEUS) Continental Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem (LME). We have parameterized ATLANTIS for the NEUS LME by including major functional groups across a range of biota, the physiographic dynamics of the ecosystem, and the major fishing fleets. The objectives of this work were to describe the application of this ATLANTIS NEUS model; briefly highlight modeling skill; note areas for further improvement, data gaps, major lessons learned, and how our understanding of the ecosystem was enhanced as we executed the modeling process; and note how these model outputs could inform living marine resource management in this region. The preliminary results we show here describe outputs from a multivariate, multispecies, multifactorial modeling approach. Our modeling skill is reasonable, as determined by the fact that over 90% of our fleet effort estimates, nearly 80% of our functional group catches, and 100% of our main functional group biomasses were within limits of tolerance. Moreover, the general patterns and phenology of major events were replicated consistently, both in space and time across a broad suite of physical, chemical, biological and human factors. These include several taxa groups such as primary producers, zooplankton, benthos, fishes, marine mammals, as well as nutrients, landings, and fishing effort. Conversely, as expected, there were some groups or fleets that did exceed levels of tolerance. These were mostly invertebrate groups such as shrimp, squid or gelatinous zooplankton, groups which are notorious for being difficult to model. Yet the major taxa groups and main fishing fleets were all well within levels of tolerance. Thus, we assert that with the majority of all main processes and state variables simulated, this ATLANTIS model can indeed reasonably approximate observations for the NEUS LME across a range of factors, and more importantly can be used to evaluate the relative prominence across a range of factors that contribute to the dynamics of this marine ecosystem.

AB We put forward a combined observing and modeling strategy for evaluating effects of environmental forcing on the dynamics of spatially structured cod populations spawning in the western Gulf of Maine. Recent work indicates at least two genetically differentiated complexes in this region: a late spring spawning, coastal population centered in Ipswich Bay, and a population that spawns in winter inshore and on nearshore banks in the Gulf of Maine and off southern New England. The two populations likely differ in trophic interactions and in physiological and behavioral responses to different winter and spring environments. Coupled physical-biological modeling has advanced to the point where within-decade forecasting of environmental conditions for recruitment to each of the two populations is feasible. However, the modeling needs to be supported by hydrographic, primary production and zooplankton data collected by buoys, and by data from remote sensing and fixed station sampling. Forecasts of environmentally driven dispersal and growth of planktonic early life stages, combined with an understanding of possible population-specific predator fields, usage of coastal habitat by juveniles and adult resident and migratory patterns, can be used to develop scenarios for spatially explicit population responses to multiple forcings, including climate change, anthropogenic impacts on nearshore juvenile habitat, connectivity among populations and management interventions such as regional fisheries closures.

AB In the light of the plethora of definitions for the hurricane boundary layer, we advocate a dynamical definition based on the distribution of agradient flow. We seek also to clarify the fundamental role of the boundary layer in the hurricane intensification process. In particular, we contrast the differences between unsteady boundary layers that are able to facilitate the spin-up of the vortex above and steady boundary layers that cannot. If slaved to the time-dependent vortex aloft, the latter can spin up the interior vortex only indirectly by changing its thermodynamic properties through vertical advection of these from below and adjustment to thermal wind balance. These differences are highlighted by an analytical demonstration that the application of a zero-vertical-gradient condition on velocity above a steady boundary layer does not provide a direct means of allowing the boundary layer to determine the flow in the interior vortex. This result assumes that frictional forces are negligible at this boundary. Finally, echoing a few previous insights, we question the applicability of conventional boundary-layer theory at radii of strong ascent into the eyewall, where the flow is akin to that of separation in aerodynamic boundary layers.

AB Motivated by recent developments in tropical-cyclone dynamics, this paper re-examines a basic aspect of tropical-cyclone behaviour, namely, the sensitivity of tropical-cyclone models to the surface drag coefficient. Previous theoretical and numerical studies of the sensitivity in axisymmetric models have found that the intensity decreases markedly with increasing drag coefficient. Here we present a series of three-dimensional convection-permitting numerical experiments in which the intensification rate and intensity of the vortex increase with increasing surface drag coefficient until a certain threshold value is attained and then decrease. In particular, tropical depression-strength vortices intensify to major hurricane intensity for values of CK/CD as small as 0.1, significantly smaller than the critical threshold value of about 0.75 for major hurricane development predicted by Emanuel using an axisymmetric balance model. Moreover, when the drag coefficient is set to zero, no system-scale intensification occurs, despite persistent sea-to-air fluxes of moisture that maintain deep convective activity. This result is opposite to that found in a prior axisymmetric study by Craig and Gray.
The findings are interpreted using recent insights obtained on tropical-cyclone intensification, which highlight the intrinsically unbalanced dynamics of the tropical-cyclone boundary layer. The reasons for the differences from earlier axisymmetric studies and some potential ramifications of our findings are discussed.
The relative insensitivity of the intensification rate and intensity found for drag coefficients typical of high wind speeds over the ocean calls into question the need for coupled ocean wave-atmospheric models to accurately forecast tropical-cyclone intensity.

AB In operational air-quality forecasting, initial concentrations of chemical species are often obtained using previous-day forecasts with limited or no account for the observations. In this article we assess the role that assimilation of surface measurements of ozone and fine aerosols can play in improving the skill of air-quality forecasts. An assimilation experiment is performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting - Chemistry model and Grid-point Statistical Interpolation, a three-dimensional variational assimilation tool. The modelling domain covers the northeastern region of North America. The measurements come from the United States Environmental Protection Agency AIRNow network and are available hourly. Background error covariance statistics are derived from forecasts in July 2004. Comparison of forecasts issued in August and September 2006 and initialized with and without the assimilation follows. Results show that forecasts of ozone and fine aerosol concentrations benefit from the assimilation in terms of standard verification scores for a period of at least 24 hours. However, significant reduction of errors as a consequence of the assimilation is accompanied by fast model error growth in the early forecast hours. Published in 2010 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB Methodologies are discussed for the efficient representation of observations from high-resolution infrared sounders for the purposes of assimilation into numerical weather prediction models. The use of principal component analysis is explored and it is noted that, while the available information in the observations is stored efficiently, the non-locality of the Jacobians that arise may cause practical problems in an operational assimilation system. Reconstructing radiance spectra from the principal components appears to be a more realistic approach in the near term. However, initial experiments with reconstructed radiances do not appear to give significant improvements in forecast skill above that already demonstrated with the current use of advanced sounder data.

TI Dust and Smoke Detection for Multi-Channel Imagers
SO REMOTE SENSING
LA English
DT Article
DE dust; smoke; detection algorithm; satellite imagers
AB A detection algorithm of dust and smoke for application to satellite multi-channel imagers is introduced in this paper. The algorithm is simple and solely based on spectral and spatial threshold tests along with some uniformity texture. Detailed examinations of the threshold tests are performed along with explanations of the physical basis. The detection is performed efficiently at the pixel level and output is in the form of an index (or flag): 0 (no dust/smoke) and 1 (dust/smoke). The detection algorithm is implemented sequentially and designed to run on segments of data instead of pixel by pixel for efficient processing. MODIS observations are used to test the operation and performance of the algorithm. The algorithm can capture heavy dust and smoke plumes very well over both land and ocean and therefore is used as a global detection algorithm. The method can be applied to any multi-channel imagers with channels at (or close to) 0.47, 0.64, 0.86, 1.38, 2.26, 3.9, 11.0, 12.0 mu m (such as current EOS/MODIS and future JPSS/VIIRS and GOES-R/ABI) for the detection of dust and smoke. It can be used to operationally monitor the outbreak and dispersion of dust storms and smoke plumes that are potentially hazardous to our environment and impact climate.

AB The transmission crystal spectrometer (TCS) is approved for taking data at the OMEGA-EP laser facility since 2009 and will be available for the OMEGA target chamber in 2010. TCS utilizes a Cauchois type cylindrically bent transmission crystal geometry with a source to crystal distance of 600 mm. Spectral images are recorded by image plates in four positions, one IP on the Rowland circle and three others at 200, 400, and 600 mm beyond the Rowland circle. An earlier version of TCS was used at LULI on experiments that determined the x-ray source size from spectral line broadening on one IP positioned behind the Rowland circle. TCS has recorded numerous backlighter spectra at EP for point projection radiography and for source size measurements. Hard x-ray source size can be determined from the source broadening of both K shell emission lines and from K absorption edges in the bremsstrahlung continuum, the latter being a new way to measure the spatial extent of the hard x-ray bremsstrahlung continuum.

AB The dual crystal spectrometer (DCS) is an approved diagnostic at the OMEGA and the OMEGA-EP laser facilities for the measurement of high energy x-rays in the 11-90 keV energy range, e. g., for verification of the x-ray spectrum of backlighter targets of point projection radiography experiments. DCS has two cylindrically bent transmission crystal channels with image plate detectors at distances behind the crystals close to the size of the respective Rowland circle diameters taking advantage of the focusing effect of the cylindrically bent geometry. DCS, with a source to crystal distance of 1.2 m, provides the required energy dispersion for simultaneous detection of x-rays in a low energy channel (11-45 keV) and a high-energy channel (19-90 keV). A scaling study is described for varied pulse length with unchanged laser conditions (energy, focusing). The study shows that the K alpha line intensity is not strongly dependent on the length of the laser pulse. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3494222]

AB The potential of an x-ray magnifier prepared from a pair of asymmetrically cut crystals is studied to explore high energy x-ray imaging capabilities at high intensity laser facilities. OMEGA-EP and NIF when irradiating mid and high Z targets can be a source of high-energy x-rays whose production mechanisms and use as backlighters are a subject of active research. This paper studies the properties and potential of existing asymmetric cut crystal pairs from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) built in a new enclosure for imaging x-ray sources. The technique of the x-ray magnifier has been described previously. This new approach is aimed to find a design that could be used at laser facilities by magnifying the x-ray source into a screen far away from the target chamber center, with fixed magnification defined by the crystals' lattice spacing and the asymmetry angles. The magnified image is monochromatic and the imaging wavelength is set by crystal asymmetry and incidence angles. First laboratory results are presented and discussed.

AB In June 2002 the government of Dominica requested assistance in evaluating the coral culture and transplantation activities being undertaken by Oceanographic Institute of Dominica (OID) a coral farm culturing both western Atlantic and Indo Pacific corals for restoration and commercial sales We assessed the culture facilities of OID the condition of reefs potential impacts of coral collection and benefits of coral transplantation Coral reefs (9 reefs 3 20m depth) were characterized by 35 species of scleractinian corals and a live coral cover of 8 35% Early colonizing brooders such as Porites astreoides (148% of all corals) P porites (14 8%) Meandrina meandrites (14 7%) and Agaracia agaricites (9 1%) were the most abundant corals but colonies were mostly small (mean=25cm diameter) Montastraea annularis (complex) was the other dominant taxa (20 8% of all corals) and colonies were larger (mean=70cm) Corals (pooled species) were missing an aver age of 20% of their tissue with a mean of 1 4% recent mortality Coral diseases affected 6 4% of all colonies with the highest prevalence at Cabrits West (11 0%) Douglas Bay (12 2%) and Coconut Outer reef (20 7%) White plague and yellow band disease were causing the greatest loss of tissue especially among M annularis (comp!, x) with localized impacts from corallivores overgrowth by macroalgae storm damage and sedimenta lion While the reefs appeared to be undergoing substantial decline, restoration efforts by OID were unlikely to promote recovery No Pacific species were identified at OID restoration sites yet species chosen for transplantation with highest survival included short lived brooders (Agaricia and Porites) that were abundant in restoration sits as well as non reef builders (Palythoa and Erythropodium) that monopolize substrates and overgrow corals The species of highest value for restoration (massive broadcast spawners) showed low survivorship and unrestored populations of these species were most affected by biotic stressors and human impacts all of which need to be addressed to enhance survival of outplants Problems with culture practices at OID such as high water temperature adequate light levels and persistent overgrowth by macroalgae could be addressed through simple modifications Nevertheless coral disease and other stressors are of major concern to the most important reef builders as these species are less amenable to restoration collection could threaten their survival and losses require decades to centuries to replace Rev Biol Trop 58 (Suppl 3) I 1 1 127 Epub 2010 October 01

AB A smoothed particle hydrodynamics approach is utilized to model a non-Newtonian fluid with a spatially varying viscosity. In the limit of constant viscosity, this approach recovers an earlier model for Newtonian fluids of Espaol and Revenga (Phys Rev E 67:026705, 2003). Results are compared with numerical solutions of the general Navier-Strokes equation using the "regularized" Bingham model of Papanastasiou (J Rheol 31:385-404, 1987) that has a shear-rate-dependent viscosity. As an application of this model, the effect of having a non-Newtonian fluid matrix, with a shear-rate-dependent viscosity in a moderately dense suspension, is examined. Simulation results are then compared with experiments on mono-size silica spheres in a shear-thinning fluid and for sand in a calcium carbonate paste. Excellent agreement is found between simulation and experiment. These results indicate that measurements of the shear viscosity of simple shear-rate-dependent non-Newtonian fluids may be used in simulation to predict the viscosity of concentrated suspensions having the same matrix fluid.

AB We analyze here the spectrum of the Al K alpha and Mg K alpha X-ray lines obtained by electron excitation of a multielement glass. The spectrum was obtained in an electron beam probe using a microcalorimeter X-ray detector. With 7 eV resolution, we are able to observe and compare the intensity ratios of the K alpha(3,4) satellitesto the K alpha(1,2) main lines. These satellites are sensitive to the chemistry of the solid. We compare our observed values to the intensity ratios obtained by Klauber and by Krause & Ferreira. The agreement of the relative satellite intensities in our measurement is more consistent with ratios for metals than for oxides. The ability to observe satellites of lines in multielement samples using the microcalorimeter detector opens up new possibilities for the interpretation of atomic core-valence processes in solids.

AB We present an analysis of the dependence of the backscattering correction factor (BCF) in Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES) on the analyzer acceptance angle. Illustrative BCF calculations are presented for Pd M(5)N(45)N(45) Auger electrons as a function of primary-electron energy for primary-electron angles of incidence, 00, of 0 and 80 and for various values of the analyzer acceptance angle. It was necessary to generalize the BCF definition for the case of an analyzer with an arbitrarily large acceptance angle; this was done with a new function, the integral emission depth distribution function. BCFs calculated from an advanced model of electron transport in the surface region of the Pd sample varied weakly with analyzer half-cone angle for theta(0)=0 degrees but more strongly for theta(0)=80 degrees where there were BCF differences varying between 19% at a primary energy of 1 key and 6% at a primary energy of 5 key. These BCF differences are due in part to variations of the BCF with emission angle and in part to variations of the density of inner-shell ionizations within the information depth for the detected Auger electrons. The latter variations are responsible for differences larger than 10% between BCFs from the widely used simplified BCF model and those from the more accurate advanced model for primary energies less than about 5 keV for theta(0)=80 degrees. For normal incidence of the primary beam, differences greater than 10% between BCFs from the simplified and advanced models were found for primary energies between 1 key and 4 keV. These BCF differences indicate that the simplified model can provide only approximate BCF values. In addition, the simplified model does not provide any BCF dependence on Auger-electron emission angle or analyzer acceptance angle. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB A suite of mesoscale models are being used in the present study to examine experimental forecast performance for tracks and intensity of hurricanes covering the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. Fifty-eight storm cases are being considered in the present study. Most of the mesoscale models are being run at a horizontal resolution at around 9 km. This includes the WRF (two versions), MM5, HWRF, GFDL and DSHP. The performances of forecasts are evaluated using absolute errors for storm track and intensity. Our consensus forecasts utilize ensemble mean and a bias corrected ensemble mean for these member models on the mesoscale and the large-scale model suites. Comparing the forecast statistics for the mesoscale suite, the large-scale suite and the combined suite we find that the mesoscale suite provided the best track forecasts for 60 and 72 h. However, the forecast from the combined suite of model were also very close to the track errors of the mesoscale at 60 and 72 h. Overall track forecast errors were least for the combined suite. The intensity forecasts of the bias corrected ensemble mean of the mesoscale suite were comparable to DSHP and GFDL at the later part of the forecast periods.

AB Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a circumtropical disease caused by ingestion of a variety of reef fish that bioaccumulate algal toxins. Distribution and abundance of the organisms that produce these toxins, chiefly dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus, are reported to correlate positively with water temperature. Consequently, there is growing concern that increasing temperatures associated with climate change could increase the incidence of CFP. This concern prompted experiments on the growth rates of six Gambierdiscus species at temperatures between 18 degrees C and 33 degrees C and the examination of sea surface temperatures in the Caribbean and West Indies for areas that could sustain rapid Gambierdiscus growth rates year-round. The thermal optimum for five of six Gambierdiscus species tested was >= 29 degrees C. Long-term SST data from the southern Gulf of Mexico indicate the number of days with sea surface temperatures >= 29 degrees C has nearly doubled (44 to 86) in the last three decades. To determine how the sea surface temperatures and Gambierdiscus growth data correlate with CFP incidences in the Caribbean, a literature review and a uniform, region-wide survey (1996-2006) of CFP cases were conducted. The highest CFP incidence rates were in the eastern Caribbean where water temperatures are warmest and least variable. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Dinoflagellates in the genus Gambierdiscus produce toxins that bioaccumulate in tropical and sub-tropical fishes causing ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). Little is known about the diversity and distribution of Gambierdiscus species, the degree to which individual species vary in toxicity, and the role each plays in causing CFP. This paper presents the first global distribution of Gambierdiscus species. Phylogenetic analyses of the existing isolates indicate that five species are endemic to the Atlantic (including the Caribbean/West Indies and Gulf of Mexico), five are endemic to the tropical Pacific, and that two species. Gambierdiscus carpenteri and Gambierdiscus caribaeus are globally distributed. The differences in Gambierdiscus species composition in the Atlantic and Pacific correlated with structural differences in the ciguatoxins reported from Atlantic and Pacific fish. This correlation supports the hypothesis that Gambierdiscus species in each region produce different toxin suites. A literature survey indicated a >100-fold variation in toxicity among species compared with a 2 to 9-fold within species variation due to changing growth conditions. These observations suggest that CFP events are driven more by inherent differences in species toxicity than by environmental modulation. How variations in species toxicity may affect the development of an early warning system for CFP is discussed. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB Ciguatera fish poisoning characterizes the intoxication caused by consumption of fish from tropical and subtropical areas, which have accumulated ciguatoxins (CTXs). The observed pattern of ciguatoxins in fish highly depends on the marine region and the causative organisms. It is evident that differences exist between ciguatoxins produced by certain strains of the dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus and other Gambierdiscus spp. In this context cultured strains purchased from the Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Culture of Marine Phytoplankton (CCMP) and strains from Vietnam were analyzed. Besides, lyophilized samples of several Gambierdiscus spp. from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA and lyophilized samples of G. toxic-us from Vietnam were analyzed. The latter has been cultured at different salinities.
We observed differences between the toxin ratios of the analogues in the strain from Vietnam depending on the salinity. The CTX profiles of the Vietnamese samples were compared with cultures of Gambierdiscus spp. from CCMP and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) resulting in an overview of toxins in cultures from different regions. Hence, it was obvious that the strain from Vietnam forms a characteristic CTX profile which is not directly comparable to CTX pattern observed in other tropical marine regions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB The growth and toxin production in a clonal strain of Gambierdiscus polynesiensis, TB-92, was examined in batch culture conditions. The mean growth rate at exponential phase was (0.13 +/- 0.03) division day(-1). Regardless of the age of cultures, all mice injected with dichloromethanolic and methanolic extracts showed symptoms specific to ciguatoxin (CTX) and maitotoxin (MTX) bioactivity, respectively. The highest total toxicity assessed in TB-92 cultures was 10.4 x 10(-4) mouse unit cell(-1). The toxin production pattern reveals an enhanced cellular toxin content with the age of the culture. CTX- and MTX-like compounds each accounted for approx. 50% of the total toxicity of TB-92 cultures, except in aged cells where CTXs were dominant. The high ciguatoxic activity of TB-92 was further confirmed in dichloromethanolic extracts by means of the receptor-binding assay. The highest CTX level monitored at late stationary phase was (11.9 +/- 0.4) pg P-CTX-3C equiv cell(-1). Further HPLC and LC-MS analysis revealed the presence of five CTXs congeners in lipid-soluble extracts, i.e. CTX-3C, -3B, -4A, -4B and M-seco-CTX-3C, and of new CTX congeners. Toxin composition comparison between two G. polynesiensis strains suggests that the toxin profile is a stable characteristic in this species. G. polynesiensis clones also proved inherently more toxic than other Gambierdiscus species isolated from other geographical areas. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Dinoflagellate species isolated from the green calcareous seaweed, Halimeda sp. J.V. Lamouroux, growing in Rarotongan lagoons, included Gambierdiscus australes Faust & Chinain, Coolia monotis Meunier, Amphidinium carterae Hulburth, Prorocentrum lima (Ehrenberg) Dodge, P. cf. maculosum Faust and species in the genus Ostreopsis Schmidt. Isolates were identified to species level by scanning electron microscopy and/or DNA sequence analysis. Culture extracts of G. australes isolate CAWD149 gave a response of 0.04 pg P-CTX-1 equiv. per cell by an N2A cytotoxicity assay (equivalent to ca 0.4 pg CTX-3C cell(-1)). However, ciguatoxins were not detected by LC-MS/MS. Partitioned fractions of the cell extracts potentially containing maitotoxin were found to be very toxic to mice after intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. A. carterae was also of interest as extracts of mass cultures caused respiratory paralysis in mice at high doses, both by i.p. injection and by oral administration. The Rarotongan isolate fell into a different clade to New Zealand A. carterae isolates, based on DNA sequence analysis, and also had a different toxin profile. As A. carterae co-occurred with G. australes, it may contribute to human poisonings attributed to CTX and warrants further investigation. A crude extract of C. monotis was of low toxicity to mice by i.p. injection, and an extract of Ostreopsis sp. was negative in the palytoxin haemolysis neutralisation assay. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Landfalling tropical cyclones present major hazards for the eastern United States. Hurricane Isabel (September 2003) produced more than $3.3 billion in damages from wind, inland riverine flooding, and storm surge flooding, and resulted in 17 fatalities. Case study analyses of Hurricane Isabel are carried out to investigate multiple hazards from landfalling tropical cyclones. The analyses focus on storm evolution following landfall and center on simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). WRF simulations are coupled with the 2D, depth-averaged hydrodynamic Advanced Circulation Model (ADCIRC), to examine storm surge in the Chesapeake Bay. Analyses of heavy rainfall and flooding include an examination of the structure and evolution of extreme rainfall over land. Intercomparisons of simulated rainfall from WRF with Hydro-NEXRAD rainfall fields and observations from rain gauge networks are presented. A particular focus of these analyses is the evolving distribution of rainfall, relative to the center of circulation, as the storm moves over land. Similar analyses are carried out for the wind field of Hurricane Isabel as it moves over the mid-Atlantic region. Outer rainbands, which are not well captured in WRF simulations, played a major role in urban flooding and wind damage, especially for the Baltimore metropolitan region. Wind maxima in outer rainbands may also have played a role in storm surge flooding in the upper Chesapeake Bay.

AB The satellite-based Dvorak technique (DVKT) is the most widely available and readily used tool for operationally estimating the maximum wind speeds associated with tropical cyclones. The DVKT itself produces internally consistent results, is reproducible, and has shown practical accuracy given the high cost of in situ or airborne observations. For these reasons, the DVKT has been used in a reasonably uniform manner globally for approximately 20 years. Despite the nearly universal use of this technique, relatively few systematic verifications of the DVKT have been conducted. This study, which makes use of 20 yr of subjectively determined DVKT-based intensity estimates and best-track intensity estimates influenced by aircraft observations (i.e., +/- 2 h) in the Atlantic basin, seeks to 1) identify the factors (intensity, intensity trends, radius of outer closed isobar, storm speed, and latitude) that bias the DVKT-based intensity estimates, 2) quantify those biases as well as the general error characteristics associated with this technique, and 3) provide guidance for better use of the operational DVKT intensity estimates. Results show that the biases associated with the DVKT-based intensity estimates are a function of intensity (i.e., maximum sustained wind speed), 12-h intensity trend, latitude, and translation speed and size measured by the radius of the outer closed isobar. Root-mean-square errors (RMSE), however, are shown to be primarily a function of intensity, with the best signal-to-noise (intensity to RMSE) ratio occurring in an intensity range of 90-125 kl (46-64 m s(-1)). The knowledge of how these factors affect intensity estimates, which is quantified in this paper, can be used to better calibrate Dvorak intensity estimates for tropical cyclone forecast operations, postseason best-track analysis, and climatological reanalysis efforts. As a demonstration of this capability, the bias corrections developed in the Atlantic basin are also tested using a limited east Pacific basin sample, showing that biases and errors can be significantly reduced.

AB Tropical cyclone intensity change remains a forecasting challenge with important implications for such vulnerable areas as the U.S. coast along the Gulf of Mexico. Analysis of 1979-2008 Gulf tropical cyclones during their final two days before U.S. landfall identifies patterns of behavior that are of interest to operational forecasters and researchers. Tropical storms and depressions strengthened on average by about 7 kt for every 12 h over the Gulf, except for little change during their final 12 h before landfall. Hurricanes underwent a different systematic evolution. In the net, category 1-2 hurricanes strengthened, while category 3-5 hurricanes weakened such that tropical cyclones approach the threshold of major hurricane status by U. S. landfall. This behavior can be partially explained by consideration of the maximum potential intensity modified by the environmental vertical wind shear and hurricane-induced sea surface temperature reduction near the storm center associated with relatively low oceanic heat content levels. Linear least squares regression equations based on initial intensity and time to landfall explain at least half the variance of the hurricane intensity change. Applied retrospectively, these simple equations yield relatively small forecast errors and biases for hurricanes. Characteristics of most of the significant outliers are explained and found to be identifiable a priori for hurricanes, suggesting that forecasters can adjust their forecast procedures accordingly.

AB This study evaluates the performance of the NCEP global ensemble forecast system in predicting the genesis and evolution of five named tropical cyclones and two unnamed nondeveloping tropical systems during the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) between August and September 2006. The overall probabilities of the ensemble forecasts of tropical cyclone genesis are verified relative to a genesis time defined to be the first designation of the tropical depression from the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Additional comparisons are also made with high-resolution deterministic forecasts from the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS). It is found that the ensemble forecasts have high probabilities of genesis for the three strong storms that formed from African easterly waves, but failed to accurately predict the pregenesis phase of two weaker storms that formed farther west in the Atlantic Ocean. The overall accuracy for the genesis forecasts is above 50% for the ensemble forecasts initialized in the pregenesis phase. The forecast uncertainty decreases with the reduction of the forecast lead time. The probability of tropical cyclone genesis reaches nearly 90% and 100% for the ensemble forecasts initialized near and in the postgenesis phase, respectively. Significant improvements in the track forecasts are found in the ensemble forecasts initialized in the postgenesis phase, possibly because of the implementation of the NCEP storm relocation scheme, which provides an accurate initial storm position for all ensemble members. Even with coarser resolution (T126L28 for the ensemble versus T384L64 for the GFS), the overall performance of the ensemble in predicting tropical cyclone genesis is compatible with the high-resolution deterministic GFS. In addition, false alarm rates for nondeveloping waves were low in both the GFS and ensemble forecasts.

TI Multidisciplinary Analysis of an Unusual Tornado: Meteorology,
Climatology, and the Communication and Interpretation of Warnings
SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING
LA English
DT Article
ID WEATHER
AB On 22 May 2008, a strong tornado-rated EF3 on the enhanced Fujita scale, with winds estimated between 136 and 165 mi h(-1) (61 and 74 m s(-1))-caused extensive damage along a 55-km track through northern Colorado. The worst devastation occurred in and around the town of Windsor, and in total there was one fatality, numerous injuries, and hundreds of homes significantly damaged or destroyed. Several characteristics of this tornado were unusual for the region from a climatological perspective, including its intensity, its long track, its direction of motion, and the time of day when it formed. These unusual aspects and the high impact of this tornado also raised a number of questions about the communication and interpretation of information from National Weather Service watches and warnings by decision makers and the public. First, the study examines the meteorological circumstances responsible for producing such an outlier to the regional severe weather climatology. An analysis of the synoptic and mesoscale environmental conditions that were favorable for significant tornadoes on 22 May 2008 is presented. Then, a climatology of significant tornadoes (defined as those rated F2 or higher on the Fujita scale, or EF2 or higher on the Enhanced Fujita scale) near the Front Range is shown to put the 22 May 2008 event into climatological context. This study also examines the communication and interpretation of severe weather information in an area that experiences tornadoes regularly but is relatively unaccustomed to significant tornadoes. By conducting interviews with local decision makers, the authors have compiled and chronicled the flow of information as the event unfolded. The results of these interviews demonstrate that the initial sources of warning information varied widely. Decision makers' interpretations of the warnings also varied, which led to different perceptions on the timeliness and clarity of the warning information. The decision makers' previous knowledge of the typical local characteristics of tornadoes also affected their interpretations of the tornado threat. The interview results highlight the complex series of processes by which severe weather information is communicated after a warning is issued by the National Weather Service. The results of this study support the growing recognition that societal factors are just as important to the effectiveness of weather warnings as the timeliness of and information provided in those warnings, and that these factors should be considered in future research in addition to the investments and attention given to improving detection and warning capabilities.

AB This paper investigates the relationships between short-term convective mode evolution, the orientations of vertical shear and mean wind vectors with respect to the initiating synoptic boundary, the motion of the boundary, and the role of forcing for ascent. The dominant mode of storms (linear, mixed mode, and discrete) was noted 3 h after convective initiation along cold fronts, drylines, or prefrontal troughs. Various shear and mean wind vector orientations relative to the boundary were calculated near the time of initiation. Results indicate a statistical correlation between storm mode at 3 h, the normal components of cloud-layer and deep-layer shear vectors, the boundary-relative mean cloud-layer wind vector, and the type of initiating boundary. Thunderstorms, most of which were initially discrete, tended to evolve more quickly into lines or mixed modes when the normal components of the shear vectors and boundary-relative mean cloud-layer wind vectors were small. There was a tendency for storms to remain discrete for larger normal shear and mean wind components. Smaller normal components of mean cloud-layer wind were associated with a greater likelihood that storms would remain within the zone of linear forcing along the boundary for longer time periods, thereby increasing the potential for upscale linear growth. The residence time of storms along the boundary is also dependent on the speed of the boundary. It was found that the boundary-relative normal component of the mean cloud-layer wind better discriminates between mode types than does simply the ground-relative normal component. The influence of mesoscale forcing for ascent and type of boundary on mode evolution was also investigated. As expected, it was found that the magnitude and nature of the forcing play a role in how storms evolve. For instance, strong linear low-level convergence often contributes to rapid upscale linear growth, especially if the boundary motion relative to the mean cloud-layer wind prevents storms from moving away from the boundary shortly after initiation. In summary, results from this study indicate that, for storms initiated along a synoptic boundary, convective mode evolution is modulated primarily by the residence time of storms within the zone of linear forcing, the nature and magnitude of linear forcing, and secondarily by the normal component of the cloud-layer shear.

Lightning Forecast Procedures
SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING
LA English
DT Article
ID MODEL
AB An anomalous lightning event occurred on 20-21 June 2008 in central and northern California. Most of the thunderstorms produced frequent lightning with little precipitation, resulting in over 1500 new fires. Many of these fires became large, and massive firefighting efforts continued through August in order to contain all the fires. This event was not well forecast, with only isolated lightning strikes expected. Several computer model forecast parameters pointed toward the impending lightning outbreak, including satellite and lightning observations, as well as model data from 19 June. An existing procedure to forecast dry thunderstorms showed the strong possibility of a thunderstorm outbreak over California. This procedure proved to be helpful, but has been modified to better handle moisture advection and low-level forcing, which provides a more comprehensive framework for forecasting potential dry thunderstorm outbreaks.

AB Since 2003 the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has been running various experimental convection-allowing configurations of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) for domains covering a large portion of the central United States during the warm season (April-July). In this study, the skill of 3-hourly accumulated precipitation forecasts from a large sample of these convection-allowing simulations conducted during 2004-05 and 2007-08 is compared to that from operational North American Mesoscale (NAM) model forecasts using a neighborhood-based equitable threat score (ETS). Separate analyses were conducted for simulations run before and after the implementation in 2007 of positive-definite (PD) moisture transport for the NCAR-WRF simulations. The neighborhood-based ETS (denoted < ETS >(r)) relaxes the criteria for "hits" (i.e., correct forecasts) by considering grid points within a specified radius r. It is shown that < ETS >(r) is more useful than the traditional ETS because < ETS >(r) can be used to diagnose differences in precipitation forecast skill between different models as a function of spatial scale, whereas the traditional ETS only considers the spatial scale of the verification grid. It was found that differences in < ETS >(r) between NCAR-WRF and NAM generally increased with increasing r, with NCAR-WRF having higher scores. Examining time series of < ETS >(r) for r - 100 and r - 0 km (which simply reduces to the "traditional" ETS), statistically significant differences between NCAR-WRF and NAM were found at many forecast lead times for < ETS >(100) but only a few times for < ETS >(0). Larger and more statistically significant differences occurred with the 2007-08 cases relative to the 2004-05 cases. Because of differences in model configurations and dominant large-scale weather regimes, a more controlled experiment would have been needed to diagnose the reason for the larger differences that occurred with the 2007-08 cases. Finally, a compositing technique was used to diagnose the differences in the spatial distribution of the forecasts. This technique implied westward displacement errors for NAM model forecasts in both sets of cases and in NCAR-WRF model forecasts for the 2007-08 cases. Generally, the results are encouraging because they imply that advantages in convection-allowing relative to convection-parameterizing simulations noted in recent studies are reflected in an objective neighborhood-based metric.

AB The impacts of assimilating radar data and other mesoscale observations in real-time, convection-allowing model forecasts were evaluated during the spring seasons of 2008 and 2009 as part of the Hazardous Weather Test Bed Spring Experiment activities. In tests of a prototype continental U. S.-scale forecast system, focusing primarily on regions with active deep convection at the initial time, assimilation of these observations had a positive impact. Daily interrogation of output by teams of modelers, forecasters, and verification experts provided additional insights into the value-added characteristics of the unique assimilation forecasts. This evaluation revealed that the positive effects of the assimilation were greatest during the first 3-6 h of each forecast, appeared to be most pronounced with larger convective systems, and may have been related to a phase lag that sometimes developed when the convective-scale information was not assimilated. These preliminary results are currently being evaluated further using advanced objective verification techniques.

AB A new strategy for generating and presenting model diagnostic fields from convection-allowing forecast models is introduced. The fields are produced by computing temporal-maximum values for selected diagnostics at each horizontal grid point between scheduled output times. The two-dimensional arrays containing these maximum values are saved at the scheduled output times. The additional fields have minimal impacts on the size of the output files and the computation of most diagnostic quantities can be done very efficiently during integration of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model. Results show that these unique output fields facilitate the examination of features associated with convective storms, which can change dramatically within typical output intervals of 1-3 h.

TI Performance of NCEP Regional Wave Models in Predicting Peak Sea States
during the 2005 North Atlantic Hurricane Season
SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING

ID OCEAN; SYSTEM
AB Unprecedented numbers of tropical cyclones occurred in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. This provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the performance of two operational regional wave forecasting models at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). This study validates model predictions of the tropical cyclone-generated maximum significant wave height, simultaneous spectral peak wave period, and the time of occurrence against available buoy measurements from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). The models used are third-generation operational wave models: the Western North Atlantic wave model (WNA) and the North Atlantic Hurricane wave model (NAH). These two models have identical model physics, spatial resolutions, and domains, with the latter model using specialized hurricane wind forcing. Both models provided consistent estimates of the maximum wave height and period, with random errors of typically less than 25%, and timing errors of typically less than 5 h. Compared to these random errors, systematic model biases are negligible, with a typical negative model bias of 5%. It appears that higher wave model resolutions are needed to fully utilize the specialized hurricane wind forcing, and it is shown that present routine wave observations are inadequate to accurately validate hurricane wave models.

AB Ship-based sighting surveys for cetaceans were conducted in the former whaling ground off the northeastern coast of Brazil. The cruises took place in winter and spring of 1998-2001 with the objectives of investigating current distribution and abundance of cetaceans, particularly large whale species taken during whaling. In 1998 the survey were conducted between the parallels 5 degrees 30'W and 9 degrees S and the 200 m isobath and the meridian 033 degrees W. A total of about 3,100 nm were surveyed between 1998 and 2001 Surveys were conducted using line transect methods from about 5-10 degrees S, and from the coast to 33 degrees W. A total of 151 sightings (203 individuals) of large whales were recorded on effort. The Antarctic minke whale Balaenoptera bonaerensis (Burmeister, 1867) was the most frequently sighted species (97 groups/132 individuals; Sighting Rate [SR] = 0.031 groups/nm), being recorded only in offshore waters. Density gradually increased from August to October. Minke whales were distributed throughout the area, both to the north and the south of former whaling ground. Sighting data indicate this is the most abundant species, particularly in the area beyond the continental shelf break. Breeding behavior was observed for Antarctic minke whales, but few groups containing calves were recorded (4.3% of the groups sighted on effort). Three other large whale species were recorded in low numbers: the Bryde's whale Balaenoptera edeni (Anderson, 1879)(1), the sei whale, B. borealis (Lesson, 1828), and the sperm, Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758). Sei, Bryde and sperm whales were regularly caught during whaling operations, but are rare in the area, suggesting they were depleted by whaling and have yet to recover to their pre-explotation abundance. In contrast, minke whales are abundant in this area, suggesting that either they were not substantially depleted, or that they have recovered rapidly. Blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus (Linnaeus, 1758), and fin whale, B. physalus (Linnaeus, 1758), not recorded on our surveys, have always been extremely rare in the area.

AB The Hippasterinae is a subfamily within the Goniasteridae, consisting of five genera and 26 species, which occur in cold-water settings ranging from subtidal to abyssal depths. All known genera were included in a cladistic analysis resulting in two most parsimonious trees, supporting the Hippasterinae as monophyletic. Our review supports Sthenaster emmae gen. et sp. nov. as a new genus and species from the tropical Atlantic and two new Evoplosoma species, Evoplosoma claguei sp. nov. and Evoplosoma voratus sp. nov. from seamounts in the North Pacific. Hippasteria caribaea is reassigned to the genus Gilbertaster, which previously contained a single Pacific species. Our analysis supports Evoplosoma as a derived deep water lineage relative to its continental-shelf, shallow water sister taxa. The genus Hippasteria contains approximately 15 widely distributed, but similar-looking species, which occur in the northern and southern hemispheres. Except for Gilbertaster, at least one species in each genus has been observed or is inferred to prey on deep-sea corals, suggesting that this lineage is important to the conservation of deep-sea coral habitats. The Hippasterinae shares several morphological similarities with Circeaster and Calliaster, suggesting that they may be related. c 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 160, 266- 301. doi: 10.1111/ j. 1096-3642.2010.00638.x

AB Large rivers represent gateways for the transport of terrigenous and anthropogenic material to the coastal ocean. Here we document a similar to 700 km(2) recirculation or bulge associated with the Columbia River plume that retains recently discharged river water sufficiently to create a regional bioreactor. Fueled by a fluvial nitrate source, this feature stimulated growth across three trophic levels and may buffer this gateway system during periods of increased warming and stratification that lead to decreased ocean productivity, potentially enhancing production at multiple trophic levels and enriching surfacewaters far from the river mouth.

AB Quantifying snowmelt-derived fluxes at the watershed scale within hillslope environments is critical for investigating local meadow scale groundwater dynamics in high elevation riparian ecosystems. In this article, we investigate the impact of snowmelt-derived groundwater flux from the surrounding hillslopes on water table dynamics in Tuolumne Meadows, which is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, USA. Results show water levels within the meadow are controlled by a combination of fluxes at the hillslope boundaries, snowmelt within the meadow and changes in the stream stage. Observed water level fluctuations at the boundaries of the meadow show the hydrologic connection and subsequent disconnection between the hillslope and meadow aquifers. Timing of groundwater flux entering the meadow as a result of spring snowmelt can vary over 20 days based on the location, aspect, and local geology of the contributing area within the larger watershed. Identifying this temporal and spatial variability in flux entering the meadow is critical for simulating changes in water levels within the meadow. Model results can vary significantly based on the temporal and spatial scales at which watershed processes are linked to local processes within the meadow causing errors when boundary fluxes are lumped in time or space. Without a clear understanding of the surrounding hillslope hydrology, it is difficult to simulate groundwater dynamics within high elevation riparian ecosystems with the accuracy necessary for understanding ecosystem response.

AB Twelve ocean sunfish, Mob a mola, were tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags off the coast of Kamogawa, Japan during the spring of 2001 and 2003-2006. Transmitted data were obtained from seven tags. An eighth tag was recovered and provided a highly detailed four-month dataset from which several recognizable diving patterns emerged. This M. mola spent considerable time at the surface, possibly warming itself. These apparent basking events were punctuated by regular deep dives below the thermocline to depths as great as 600 m and temperatures as low as 2 degrees C. The vast majority of dives occurred during the day, with relatively little vertical movement at night. Geolocation estimates were possible between tag and release for five individuals. No large, basin-scale movements were apparent with most molas remaining relatively close to their initial tagging location over a six to nine month period. Seasonal movements were apparent for some molas and corresponded to regional shifts in oceanography. Northward movements from the Kuroshio Current into the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition zone and the Oyashio Current during the summer months coincided with an increase in temperature and reduction in chlorophyll a concentrations in waters near central Japan. In the fall, most molas returned inshore to the coast of Japan. Molas are targeted and incidentally captured by fishermen in these waters, and the information presented here is vital for effective fisheries management and to forecast changes in mola behaviors associated with environmental variability.

AB The critical size hypothesis proposes the risks of winter mortality are greatest for small individuals in fish populations. This results from size-dependent predation and starvation of wintering fishes. We extend this idea to walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and argue size-dependence leads to different wintering strategies among subadult life stages. We sampled fish quarterly, measured their size, growth and energy allocation. By comparing the contributions of endogenous energy sources (storage and structure) to metabolic demand in young-of-the-year (YOY) and juvenile pollock over winter we determined how length influenced their winter foraging requirement. From this we inferred the relative risks of starvation and predation for different sized fish. Young-of-the-year <= 170 mm) experienced high starvation risk and relied on foraging to meet routine metabolic cost. Consequently, they consumed relatively little storage or structural energy over winter. In contrast, juveniles (> 170 mm and <= 270 mm) responded to the risk of predation by consuming significant amounts of protein and structural lipids while minimizing foraging. Consistent with these observations we found YOY maximized growth in fall while juveniles maximized energy storage. In spring, YOY resumed growth earlier than juveniles. These data indicate the critical size and period hypothesis can be extended to walleye pollock. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB Little is known about nursery habitat function for red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus), a commercially important species that associates with complex benthic habitats from settlement through the first two years of life. During settlement, the red king crab actively seeks complex benthic habitats, with high availability of vertical structure and crevice space. Habitat choice for early juvenile red king crab may be driven by habitat complexity, or a function of several potential mechanisms, including foraging requirements, and shifting ontogeny. We established habitat preference and foraging behavior for two size classes of age-0 red king crab (small 2-4 mm, and large 7.5-9 mm carapace length) with laboratory experiments using habitat treatments composed of individual complex substrates that were living, biogenic substrates, including structural invertebrates, bryozoans and hydroids, and macroalgae in branched and blade forms. Non-living structural mimics of the biogenic substrates were presented to crabs as clean and fouled mimic treatments. We quantified the proportion of crab associations and foraging activity with single habitat treatments within a 24 h period. Substrates that were statistically attractive to small crabs were paired to test small crab foraging behavior. A variety of substrates were statistically attractive to red king crab. Small crabs associated with complex biogenic habitats and fouled mimics (group mean +/- SE 64% +/- 4%) more often than clean mimics (29% +/- 4%), and preferred to forage on the structural invertebrates (foraging frequency 81%) when presented with paired biogenic and fouled mimic substrates. Large crabs associated with habitats composed of structural invertebrates (group mean +/- SE 78% +/- 2%) statistically more often than macroalgae and fouled and clean mimics (32% +/- 5%). Strong attraction to structural invertebrates by early juvenile red king crab is likely driven by foraging opportunities. Our experiments demonstrate that biological habitat features may be functionally more important to early juvenile red king crab than complex physical structure alone. Habitats formed by structural invertebrates, in particular, may enhance growth and survival of early post-settlement stage red king crab in excess of other highly structured habitats, including macroalgae and complex physical substrates.

AB Red king crab (RKC) (Paralithodes camtschaticus Tilesius, 1815) is one of the most important fishery resource species in Alaska. It is threatened by heavy fishing pressure and changing climate conditions, yet little is known about the species' first year of post-settlement life. This study was undertaken to explore how temperature mediates growth and energy allocation in newly metamorphosed juveniles. RKC were reared using four temperature treatments ranging from 1.5 degrees to 12 degrees C for a period of 60 days, both individually and in low-density populations. Temperature had no significant effect on survival of RKC, and there was no consistent difference in survival between individually cultured crabs and those in populations. Growth was very slow at 1.5 degrees C, and increased rapidly with temperature with both a contracted intermolt period and small increase in growth increment. Twenty percent of the crabs held at 1.5 degrees C never molted, while more than 90% of the crabs in 12 degrees C reached juvenile stage 4 or higher. Overall growth increased as an exponential function of temperature, with slightly higher growth rates observed in populations than for isolated individuals. Growth records for individuals revealed an inverse exponential relationship between water temperature and intermolt period. There was also a small increase in growth increment from juvenile stage 1 to stage 2 with increasing temperature that appeared to be linear. Lipid class analysis revealed a trend towards higher proportions of storage lipids in larger crabs cultured at 12 degrees C than in crabs cultured at low temperatures. High proportions of essential fatty acids in all crab groups coupled with elevated levels of triacylglycerols in 12 degrees C animals, indicate that rapid growth does not negatively affect condition in juvenile RKC. Data provided by this study will help to model temperature-dependent growth and survival in the field, and assist in designing the best possible temperatures and diets for hatchery production of seed stock intended for enhancement of depleted RKC stocks.

AB Recently, we have experimentally demonstrated the existence of a capacitance between conductors in the absence of an insulator. We show that a combination of current continuity and Poisson's equation leads to a charge pileup, and thus a capacitance, whenever two dissimilar metals are joined. We verify this with numerical simulations, and consider this intrinsic, inescapable capacitance in the context of Coulomb blockade devices.

ID QUANTUM PROJECTION NOISE; MAGNETOOPTICAL TRAP; FREQUENCY STANDARD;
FOUNTAIN; LIGHT; BEAM; DIFFUSION
AB We present a compact cold-atom clock configuration where isotropic laser cooling, microwave interrogation, and clock signal detection are successively performed inside a spherical microwave cavity. For ground operation, a typical Ramsey fringe width of 20 Hz has been demonstrated, limited by the atom cloud's free fall in the cavity. The isotropic cooling light's disordered properties provide a large and stable number of cold atoms, leading to a high signal-to-noise ratio limited by atomic shot noise. A relative frequency stability of 2.2 x 10(-13)tau(-1/2) has been achieved, averaged down to 4 x 10(-15) after 5 x 10(3) s of integration. Development of such a high-performance compact clock is of major relevance for on-board applications, such as satellite-positioning systems. As a cesium clock, it opens the door to a new generation of compact primary standards and timekeeping devices.

AB We report neutron-scattering studies on static magnetic orders and spin excitations in the Fe-based chalco-genide system Fe1+delta SexTe1-x with different Fe and Se compositions. Short-range static magnetic order with an in-plane wave vector near the (0.5.0) (using the two-Fe unit cell), together with strong low-energy magnetic excitations is found in all nonsuperconducting samples for Se doping up to 45%. When the static order disappears and bulk superconductivity emerges, the spectral weight of the magnetic excitations shifts to the region of reciprocal space near the in-plane wave vector (0.5, 0.5), corresponding to "collinear" spin correlations. Our results suggest that there is a strong correlation between superconductivity and the character of the magnetic order/fluctuations in this system. Excess Fe appears to be important for stabilizing the magnetic order that competes with superconductivity.

AB Wildlife diseases are an increasing concern for endangered species conservation, but their occurrence, causes, and human influences are often unknown. We analyzed 3,939 records of stranded Hawaiian green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) over 28 years to understand fibropapillomatosis, a tumor-forming disease linked to a herpesvirus. Turtle size is a consistent risk factor and size-standardized models revealed considerable spatial and temporal variability. The disease peaked in some areas in the 1990s, in some regions rates remained constant, and elsewhere rates increased. Land use, onshore of where the turtles feed, may play a role. Elevated disease rates were clustered in watersheds with high nitrogen-footprints; an index of natural and anthropogenic factors that affect coastal eutrophication. Further analysis shows strong epidemiological links between disease rates, nitrogen-footprints, and invasive macroalgae and points to foraging ecology. These turtles now forage on invasive macroalgae, which can dominate nutrient rich waters and sequester environmental N in the amino acid arginine. Arginine is known to regulate immune activity, promote herpesviruses, and contribute to tumor formation. Our results have implications for understanding diseases in aquatic organisms, eutrophication, herpesviruses, and tumor formation.

AB Refractory black carbon (rBC) aerosol loadings and mass size distributions have been quantified during the HIPPO campaign above the remote Pacific from 80N to 67S. Over 100 vertical profiles of rBC loadings, extending from similar to 0.3 to similar to 14 km were obtained with a Single-Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) during a two-week period in January 2009. The dataset provides a striking, and previously unobtainable, pole-to-pole snapshot of rBC mass loadings. rBC vertical concentration profiles reveal significant dependences on latitude, while associated rBC mass size distributions were highly uniform. The vertical profiles averaged in five latitude zones were compared to an ensemble of AEROCOM model fields. The model ensemble spread in each zone was over an order of magnitude, while the model average over-predicted rBC concentrations overall by a factor five. The comparisons suggest that rBC removal in global models may need to be evaluated separately in different latitude regions and perhaps enhanced. Citation: Schwarz, J. P., J. R. Spackman, R. S.

TI Transport of Patagonian dust to Antarctica
SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES
LA English
DT Article
ID ICE CORE; DOME-C; CLIMATE; VOSTOK
AB The transport of Patagonian dust to Antarctica is investigated by using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Atmospheric Model with online aerosol, in combination with trajectory analysis and satellite observations. The southern coastal region of northern Patagonia and the San Julian's Great depression are identified as major sources in Patagonia. Trajectory analysis indicates that only 13%-20% of air masses from Patagonia reach Antarctica within 10 days, with 1/4 and 3/4 going to West and East Antarctica, respectively. Almost twice as many trajectories from the San Julian's Great Depression reach Antarctica compared to the more northern Patagonian source. It takes similar to 7 days for Patagonian dust to be transported to East Antarctica, and 4-5 days to West Antarctica. The transport to East Antarctica is driven by the low-pressure systems moving eastward in the subpolar low-pressure zone, whereas a dust event going directly southward to West Antarctica typically happens when a high-pressure system blocks the depressions moving through the Drake Passage. Demonstrating these features, respectively, by following the journey of two typical dust plumes from Patagonia to East and West Antarctica, this study clarifies how climatic factors may affect the amount of dust reaching the Antarctic surface.

AB Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to study the phase behavior of A/B/A-C blends wherein A and B were immiscible homopolymers and A-C was an amphiphilic diblock copolymer. A series of blends were prepared with a fixed diblock copolymer volume fraction of 0.40, and the volume fraction of A homopolymer was varied from 0.1 to 0.5. All blends exhibited the same quantitative phase behavior despite differences in blend composition: lamellae below 115 degrees C and macrophase separation above 122 degrees C. Least-squares fits of the SANS data below 115 degrees C were used to extract information about the A-rich and B-rich lamellae using a model for randomly oriented lamellae developed by Hosemann and Bagchi. Our approach explicitly accounts for the concentration fluctuations within the lamellae using the random phase approximation. The results of the analysis were found to agree with predictions calculated using self-consistent-field theory (SCFT) with no adjustable parameters. The experimentally determined transitions from lamellae to macrophase separation were also in good agreement with SCFT. Calculations based on multicomponent RPA predicted a small homogeneous window that was not experimentally observed in any of the blends studied.

AB The structural and electrical properties of a solution processable material, 2,8-difluoro-5,11-tert-butyldimethylsilylethynyl anthradithiophene (TBDMS), were measured for single crystal transistors. TBDMS is observed to readily form single crystals from physical vapor zone sublimation. A columnar packing crystal structure, with an approximate pi/4 radian rotational offset between neighboring molecules, is observed. Single crystal TBDMS transistors display a maximum observed saturation mobility mu(S) of 0.07 cm(2)/V s, current on-off ratio >10(7), and subthreshold swing S approximate to 1 dec/V. The spectral current noises of single crystal devices display a 1/f flicker noise, while the metal-semiconductor charge injection barrier is estimated by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy.

AB We compare the performance of a chip-scale atomic magnetometer (CSAM) with that of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor in two biomedical applications. Magnetocardiograms (MCGs) of healthy human subjects were measured simultaneously by a CSAM and a multichannel SQUID sensor in a magnetically shielded room. The typical features of MCGs are resolved by the CSAM, matching the SQUID results. Magnetorelaxometry (MRX) signals of iron nanoparticles were also obtained with the CSAM and compared to similar measurements with a SQUID. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

crystal anisotropy and demagnetization energy"
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Editorial Material
ID COBALT NANOWIRES
AB Bergmann et al. [Phys. Rev. B 77, 054415 (2008)] present an analytical theory explaining the behavior of ferromagnetic cobalt nanowires with perpendicular anisotropy. This theory, which predicts a sinusoidal variation in the magnetization along the long axis of the wire, depends on an assumption that "the magnetization is constant within a cross section of the wire." In this Comment we use micromagnetic modeling to show that this assumption does not hold in any relevant setting. For very thin wires, we show that a uniform magnetization configuration is the lowest energy state, which is consistent with some of the larger exchange stiffness results from Bergmann et al. [Phys. Rev. B 77, 054415 (2008)]. For thicker wires, such as those in the referenced experimental systems, the micromagnetic simulations produce magnetization patterns containing vortices. Across all wire thickness, the sinusoidal configuration has higher energy density than the vortex configuration and is therefore not attained. The micromagnetic simulations explain not only the periodic magnetization patterns observed in experiments but also the occasional absence (or disappearance) of periodic structures as described in the literature.

AB We examine the implications of new estimates of the anthropogenic and lightning nitrogen oxide (NOx) source for the budget of oxidized nitrogen (NOy) over the United States in summer using a 3-D global chemical transport model (Model of Ozone and Related Tracers-4). As a result of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) State Implementation call, power plant NOx emissions over the eastern United States decreased significantly, as reflected by a 23% decrease in summer surface emissions from our 2004 inventory to the 1999 U. S. EPA National Emissions Inventory. We increase the model lightning NOx source over northern midlatitude continents (by a factor of 10) and the fraction emitted into the free troposphere (FT, from 80% to 98%) to better match the recent observation-based estimates. While these NOx source updates improve the simulation of NOx and O-3 compared to the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-North America aircraft observations, a bias in the partitioning between nitric acid (HNO3) and peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) remains especially above 8 km, suggesting gaps in the current understanding of upper tropospheric processes. We estimate a model NOy export efficiency of 4%-14% to the North Atlantic in the FT, within the range of previous plume-based estimates (3%-20%) and lower than the 30% exported directly from the continental boundary layer. Lightning NOx contributes 24%-43% of the FT NOy export from the U. S. to the North Atlantic and 28%-34% to the NOy wet deposition over the United States, with the ranges reflecting different assumptions. Increasing lightning NOx decreases the fractional contribution of PAN to total NOy export, increases the O-3 production in the northern extratropical FT by 33%, and decreases the regional mean ozone production efficiency per unit NOx (OPE) by 30%. If models underestimate the lightning NOx source, they would overestimate the background OPE in the FT and the fractional contribution of PAN to NOy export. Therefore, a model underestimate of lightning NOx would likely lead to an overestimate of the downwind O-3 production due to anthropogenic NOx export. Better constraints on the lightning NOx source are required to more confidently assess the impacts of anthropogenic emissions and their changes on air quality over downwind regions.

AB We examine stochastic computer simulations of the Leibler-Ohta-Kawasaki (LOK) phase-field model([1,2]) and demonstrate that long-wavelength line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR) in a lamellar diblock copolymer resist depend monotonically on quench depth and noise strength, and that the LER and LWR spectra both exhibit a peak at k(0)-the characteristic wave-number of mesophase separation in diblock copolymers. For k less than or similar to k(0), we find that the LER spectrum approximately scales like k(-1.6). These observations are consistent with previous theoretical, computational, and experimental examinations LER and LWR in diblock copolymer melts, and thus the LOK phase-field model should be considered a capable and appropriate framework for future examination of long-wavelength LER and LWR in block copolymer resist systems.

AB Observers in relative motion or at different gravitational potentials measure disparate clock rates. These predictions of relativity have previously been observed with atomic clocks at high velocities and with large changes in elevation. We observed time dilation from relative speeds of less than 10 meters per second by comparing two optical atomic clocks connected by a 75-meter length of optical fiber. We can now also detect time dilation due to a change in height near Earth's surface of less than 1 meter. This technique may be extended to the field of geodesy, with applications in geophysics and hydrology as well as in space-based tests of fundamental physics.

TI Simulations of underwater plumes of dissolved oil in the Gulf of Mexico
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS

DT Article
AB A simple model of the temperature-dependent biological decay of dissolved oil is embedded in an ocean-climate model and used to simulate underwater plumes of dissolved and suspended oil originating from a point source in the northern Gulf of Mexico, with an upper-bound supply rate estimated from the contemporary analysis of the Deepwater Horizon blowout. The behavior of plumes at different depths is found to be determined by the combination of sheared current strength and the vertical profile of decay rate. For all plume scenarios, toxic levels of dissolved oil remain confined to the northern Gulf of Mexico, and abate within weeks after the spill stops. An estimate of oxygen consumption due to microbial oxidation of hydrocarbons suggests that a deep plume of hydrocarbons could lead to localized regions of prolonged hypoxia near the source, but only when oxidation of methane is included.

AB We investigated the nature of the spin-glass like phase transition in the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore lattices Y2Mo2O7 using the local probes nuclear and muon magnetic resonances, and the field-dependent long-range probes x-ray and neutron scatterings. The long-range probes indicated that Y2Mo2O7 does not undergo any global symmetry changes, even in a field of 6 T. In contrast, the local signal indicates a lattice distortion close to the critical temperature. The nuclei show at least two inequivalent Y sites, and the muons show sublinear line broadening as a function of moment size, over a wide temperature range. The conclusion from all the measurements is that even in high field, the distortion of Y2Mo2O7 takes place within the unit cell while its global cubic symmetry is preserved. Moreover, the muon result clearly indicates the presence of magnetoelastic coupling.

AB We study the magnetic-field-induced quantum phase transition from a gapped quantum phase that has no magnetic long-range order into a gapless phase in the spin-1/2 ladder compound bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY). At temperatures below about 1 K, the specific heat in the gapless phase attains an asymptotic linear temperature dependence, characteristic of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Inelastic neutron scattering and the specific heat measurements in both phases are in good agreement with theoretical calculations, demonstrating that DIMPY is the first model material for an S = 1/2 two-leg spin ladder in the strong-leg regime.

AB Nef is an HIV-1 accessory protein that directly contributes to AIDS progression. Nef is myristoylated on the N-terminus, associates with membranes, and may undergo a transition from a solution conformation to a membrane-associated conformation. It has been hypothesized that conformational rearrangement enables membrane-associated Nef to interact with cellular proteins. Despite its medical relevance, to our knowledge there is no direct information about the conformation of membrane-bound Nef. In this work, we used neutron reflection to reveal what we believe are the first details of the conformation of membrane-bound Nef. The conformation of Nef was probed upon binding to Langmuir monolayers through the interaction of an N-terminal His tag with a synthetic metal-chelating lipid, which models one of the possible limiting cases for myr-Nef. The data indicate that residues are inserted into the lipid headgroups during interaction, and that the core domain lies directly against the lipid headgroups, with a thickness of similar to 40 angstrom. Binding of Nef through the N-terminal His tag apparently facilitates insertion of residues, as no insertion occurred upon binding of Nef through weak electrostatic interactions in the absence of the specific interaction through the His tag.

TI Interaction between the Atlantic meridional and Nino modes
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID TROPICAL ATLANTIC; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; OCEAN; WAVES
AB Interaction between the tropical Atlantic meridional and Nino modes is investigated using observations and a quasi-analytical linear equatorial wave model. It is found that equatorial zonal wind stress anomalies associated with the boreal spring meridional mode generate eastward propagating equatorial Kelvin waves in the central and eastern Atlantic Ocean, where variability associated with the Nino mode is strongest. These same wind stress anomalies force westward propagating equatorial Rossby waves that reflect at the western boundary into eastward propagating Kelvin waves during boreal spring and summer. The boundary-generated Kelvin waves are of the opposite sign to those directly forced by the winds earlier in the spring, so they tend to damp the Nino mode during boreal summer. The interaction between the boreal spring meridional mode and the summer Nino is therefore mediated by directly wind-forced equatorial Kelvin waves and the delayed negative feedback from western boundary reflections of wind-forced Rossby waves.

AB We present results from the first zonal transect of iron, aluminum, and manganese conducted from the western source region of the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) to the central equatorial Pacific. Trace metals were elevated along the slope of Papua New Guinea and within the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent (NGCU), which is the primary Southern Hemisphere entry path of water to the EUC. Subsurface maxima in total acid-soluble iron, aluminum, and manganese were evident in the EUC. These maxima were generally greatest in the western equatorial Pacific and decreased in magnitude eastward. Maxima in iron and aluminum persisted to 140 degrees W; maxima in manganese extended to 175 degrees W. Iron and manganese maxima were deeper (25-75 m) than aluminum maxima and located in the lower EUC, which undergoes less interior ocean mixing than shallower waters. The depth of the aluminum subsurface maxima correlated strongly (r = 0.88) with the depth of the EUC velocity maximum. Surface waters were enriched in aluminum and manganese offshore of Papua New Guinea. Surface metal concentrations decreased eastward throughout the western warm pool up to the longitude (similar to 180 degrees W) of the salinity front. Detrital sediment input from either direct riverine input or sediment resuspension appeared to be the primary mechanism of supplying metals to the NGCU. We estimated eastward fluxes of metals in the EUC and found greatest fluxes in the western equatorial Pacific between 160 E and 165 degrees E, except for aluminum. Fluxes of aluminum and, to a lesser extent, manganese increased concurrently with water volume transport in the central equatorial Pacific. Iron transport in the EUC remained constant east of the dateline, apparently due to the combined effects of dilution by meridional entrainment and scavenging. Iron was mobilized in a highly active western boundary current region and transported eastward in the lower EUC.

AB The internal variability and coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere in CCMVal-2 chemistry-climate models are evaluated through analysis of the annular mode patterns of variability. Computation of the annular modes in long data sets with secular trends requires refinement of the standard definition of the annular mode, and a more robust procedure that allows for slowly varying trends is established and verified. The spatial and temporal structure of the models' annular modes is then compared with that of reanalyses. As a whole, the models capture the key features of observed intraseasonal variability, including the sharp vertical gradients in structure between stratosphere and troposphere, the asymmetries in the seasonal cycle between the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and the coupling between the polar stratospheric vortices and tropospheric midlatitude jets. It is also found that the annular mode variability changes little in time throughout simulations of the 21st century. There are, however, both common biases and significant differences in performance in the models. In the troposphere, the annular mode in models is generally too persistent, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere summer, a bias similar to that found in CMIP3 coupled climate models. In the stratosphere, the periods of peak variance and coupling with the troposphere are delayed by about a month in both hemispheres. The relationship between increased variability of the stratosphere and increased persistence in the troposphere suggests that some tropospheric biases may be related to stratospheric biases and that a well-simulated stratosphere can improve simulation of tropospheric intraseasonal variability.

AB In situ sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are used for calibration and validation of satellite retrievals. This study analyzes three in situ data sets from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Telecommunication System (GTS), the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) release 2.4, and the U. S. Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment/Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC). Comparisons show that most reports in the ICOADS and FNMOC are of the same origin as NCEP GTS. Quality control (QC) information is either unavailable (NCEP), not well documented (FNMOC), or nonuniform (ICOADS, FNMOC). Preliminary QC was implemented in this study and uniformly applied to all data sets. All analyses are stratified by major types of in situ platforms including ships, drifters, and moored buoys, the latter being further subdivided into tropical and coastal. Ships overwhelmingly prevailed before 1990 but then declined, whereas the number of drifters significantly increased, as did their reporting density. Although both platforms sample the full SST range well, drifters cover the global ocean much more uniformly than ships. Statistical analyses are performed on the in situ SST anomalies with respect to daily Reynolds and daily Pathfinder. Different global mean biases are observed for different platform types (e. g., similar to+0.03 K for drifters and tropical moorings and similar to+0.15 K for ships, with respect to Reynolds SST), suggesting existence of cross-platform biases that need to be reconciled. Root mean square (RMS) errors of the four types of in situ data have been estimated via three-way analyses proposed in O'Carroll et al. (2008). The geographical distributions of RMS errors in Pathfinder, Reynolds, and in situ SSTs show distinct spatial patterns, which require further understanding and remediation.

AB We investigate the contributions of finite-temperature magnetic fluctuations to the thermodynamic properties of bcc Fe as functions of pressure. First, we apply a tight-binding total-energy model parameterized to first-principles linearized augmented plane-wave computations to examine various ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetic, and noncollinear spin spiral states at zero temperature. The tight-binding data are fit to a generalized Heisenberg Hamiltonian to describe the magnetic energy functional based on local moments. We then use Monte Carlo simulations to compute the magnetic susceptibility, the Curie temperature, heat capacity, and magnetic free energy. Including the finite-temperature magnetism improves the agreement with experiment for the calculated thermal expansion coefficients.

TI Phase Separation and Suppression of the Structural and Magnetic
Transitions in Superconducting Doped Iron Tellurides, Fe1+xTe1-ySy
SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
LA English
DT Article
ID LAYERED QUATERNARY COMPOUND; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; DIAGRAM; LIFEAS
AB Single crystal and powder samples of the series of iron chalcogenide superconductors with nominal composition, Fe1.15Te1-ySy, are found to form for 0 <= y <= 0.15. They crystallize in the tetragonal anti-PbO structure, which is composed of layers of edge-shared Fe(Te, S)(4) tetrahedra. For y = 0, Fe1+xTe (x approximate to 0.12(1)) is nonsuperconducting and undergoes a tetragonal (P4/nmm) to monoclinic (P2(1)/m) structural transition at similar to 65 K, associated with the onset of commensurate antiferromagnetic order at q = (0.5 0 0.5). We show that on sulfur substitution, Fe1+xTe1-ySy becomes orthorhombic (Pmmn) at low temperature for 0 <= y <= 0.15, where the greatly suppressed magnetic scattering is now incommensurate at q = (0.5-delta 0 0.5) and possesses short ranged magnetic correlations that are well fitted with a two-dimensional Warren peak shape. At much higher concentrations of S (y >= 0.075), there is suppression of both the structural and magnetic transitions and a superconducting transition at 9 K is observed. Between these two composition regimes, there exists a region of phase separation (0.025 <= y <= 0.05), where the low temperature neutron diffraction data is best refined with a model containing both the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases. The increase in the amount of sulfur is found to be associated with a reduction in interstitial iron, x. Microprobe analysis of a single crystal of composition Fe1.123(5)Te0.948(4)S0.052(4) confirms the presence of compositional variation within the crystals, rationalizing the observed phase separation.

ID SPIN-STATE TRANSITION; MANGANITES; POLARONS; LACOO3
AB We present a neutron-diffraction, small-angle scattering, and magnetometry study of the narrow bandwidth perovskite cobaltite Pr1-xCaxCoO3, demonstrating an unusual form of magnetoelectronic phase separation where long-range ordered ferromagnetism coexists spatially with short-range ferromagnetism. The two phases have very different coercivities and, remarkably, are strongly exchange coupled. The electronic phase separation thus leads to spontaneous formation of a hard-soft nanocomposite, exhibiting prototypical exchange-spring behavior in the absence of chemical interfaces.

AB Coupled chemistry-climate model simulations are presented for the period 1951-2099 and 1951-2007. The model includes a tested parameterization for the production of active halogens from the source molecules. In run 1 the observed levels of chlorine and bromine are specified, as well as the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. Run 2 is identical to run 1 but observed SSTs are specified instead of model SSTs. In run 3 the bromine amount is reduced by 25% but otherwise the simulation is identical to run 2. The results show that the ozone hole is sensitive to SSTs and bromine amounts. For the period 1990-2007, when the ozone hole was fully developed, the area of the ozone hole was simulated to be largest in run 1 (11% smaller than observed), compared with underpredictions of 17% and 27% for runs 2 and 3, respectively. The effect of SSTs (difference between runs 1 and 2) is shown to arise from changes in the strength of the Brewer-Dobson circulation, which is weaker for the simulation with model SSTs. The sensitivity of the model results to bromine (difference between runs 2 and 3) indicates the need to include realistic bromine amounts as well as chlorine and may explain, in part, the substantial underpredictions of the ozone hole area in previous simulations. The results also suggest that a small residual ozone hole may still be present after 2070 and that the ozone hole may not disappear entirely this century.

AB We investigated water vapor variations in the tropical lower stratosphere on seasonal, quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), and decadal time scales using balloon-borne cryogenic frost point hygrometer data taken between 1993 and 2009 during various campaigns including the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment (March 1993), campaigns once or twice annually during the Soundings of Ozone and Water in the Equatorial Region (SOWER) project in the eastern Pacific (1998-2003) and in the western Pacific and Southeast Asia (2001-2009), and the Ticosonde campaigns and regular sounding at Costa Rica (2005-2009). Quasi-regular sounding data taken at Costa Rica clearly show the tape recorder signal. The observed ascent rates agree well with the ones from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) satellite sensor. Average profiles from the recent five SOWER campaigns in the equatorial western Pacific in northern winter and from the three Ticosonde campaigns at Costa Rica (10 N) in northern summer clearly show two effects of the QBO. One is the vertical displacement of water vapor profiles associated with the QBO meridional circulation anomalies, and the other is the concentration variations associated with the QBO tropopause temperature variations. Time series of cryogenic frost point hygrometer data averaged in a lower stratospheric layer together with HALOE and Aura Microwave Limb Sounder data show the existence of decadal variations: The mixing ratios were higher and increasing in the 1990s, lower in the early 2000s, and probably slightly higher again or recovering after 2004. Thus linear trend analysis is not appropriate to investigate the behavior of the tropical lower stratospheric water vapor.

TI Double quantum dots in carbon nanotubes
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B

DT Article
ID SPIN; FERROMAGNETISM; SPINTRONICS
AB We study the two-electron eigenspectrum of a carbon-nanotube double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. Exact calculations are combined with a simple model to provide an intuitive and accurate description of single-particle and interaction effects. For symmetric dots and weak magnetic fields, the two-electron ground state is antisymmetric in the spin-valley degree of freedom and is not a pure spin-singlet state. When double occupation of one dot is favored by increasing the detuning between the dots, the Coulomb interaction causes strong correlation effects realized by higher orbital-level mixing. Changes in the double-dot configuration affect the relative strength of the electron-electron interactions and can lead to different ground-state transitions. In particular, they can favor a ferromagnetic ground state both in spin and valley degrees of freedom. The strong suppression of the energy gap can cause the disappearance of the Pauli blockade in transport experiments and thereby can also limit the stability of spin qubits in quantum information proposals. Our analysis is generalized to an array of coupled dots which is expected to exhibit rich many-body behavior.

AB Background: Hybridization between coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) and steelhead or rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been documented in several streams along the North American west coast. The two species occupy similar freshwater habitats but the anadromous forms differ greatly in the duration of marine residence and migration patterns at sea. Intermediate morphological, physiological, and performance traits have been reported for hybrids but little information has been published comparing the behavior of hybrids to the pure species.
Methodology/Principal Findings: This study used acoustic telemetry to record the movements of 52 cutthroat, 42 steelhead x cutthroat hybrids, and 89 steelhead smolts, all wild, that migrated from Big Beef Creek into Hood Canal (Puget Sound, Washington). Various spatial and temporal metrics were used to compare the behavior of the pure species to their hybrids. Median hybrid residence time, estuary time, and tortuosity values were intermediate compared to the pure species. The median total track distance was greater for hybrids than for either cutthroat or steelhead. At the end of each track, most steelhead (80%) were located near or north of the Hood Canal, as expected for this seaward migrating species, whereas most cutthroat (89%) were within 8 kilometers of the estuary. Most hybrids (70%) were detected leaving Hood Canal, though a substantial percentage (20%) remained near the Big Beef Creek estuary. More hybrids (7.5%) than pure cutthroat (4.5%) or steelhead (0.0%) were last detected in the southern reaches of Hood Canal.
Conclusions/Significance: Given the similarity in freshwater ecology between the species, differences in marine ecology may play an important role in maintaining species integrity in areas of sympatry.

AB Because ocean color alters the absorption of sunlight, it can produce changes in sea surface temperatures with further impacts on atmospheric circulation. These changes can project onto fields previously recognized to alter the distribution of tropical cyclones. If the North Pacific subtropical gyre contained no absorbing and scattering materials, the result would be to reduce subtropical cyclone activity in the subtropical Northwest Pacific by 2/3, while concentrating cyclone tracks along the equator. Predicting tropical cyclone activity using coupled models may thus require consideration of the details of how heat moves into the upper thermocline as well as biogeochemical cycling.

AB The C14/C15 phase abundance is an important parameter in the design of a suitable AB(2)-based metal hydride electrode for use in nickel metal hydride batteries. In order to separate the contribution due to chemical composition from that of phase abundance, three multi-phase and multi-element AB(2) alloys with different C14/C15 phase abundances before and after annealing were studied by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, pressure-concentration isotherm, half-cell, and full-cell measurements. After annealing at 800 degrees C for 14 h, the C14 phase abundances increased from 71 to 94% for the first alloy (Ti12Zr21.5V10Ni40.2Co1.5Cr8.5Mn5.6Al0.4Sn0.3), remained unchanged at about 50% for the second alloy (Ti12Zr21.5V10Ni40.2Co5.0Cr5.5Mn5.1Al0.4Sn0.3), and decreased from 32 to 7% for the third alloy (Ti12Zr21.5V10Ni40.2Co8.0Cr3.5Mn4.1Al0.4Sn0.3). The effect of reduction in the amount of non-Laves ZrxNiy secondary phases by annealing was established with the second alloy while the contribution of additional major phase (either C14 or C15) by annealing can be distilled by comparing various properties between samples before and after annealing. After the comparison, C15 structure was found to have a higher hydrogen storage capacity and higher reversibility in gas phase hydrogen storage, and better high-rate dischargeability, hydrogen bulk diffusion, specific power, and low temperature performance with a shortcoming of an inferior cycle life in electrochemistry. Results from gas phase hydrogen storage measurement also agree with those from electrochemical testing. Besides, the non-Laves ZrxNiy secondary phases are found to play importance roles in the reversibility of hydrogen storage in the gas phase and battery performance in activation, rate capability, charge retention, and cycle life.

AB In this work, empirical and analytical solutions of equibiaxial strain on a flexible substrate are derived for a dynamic cell culture system. The empirical formula, which fulfills the mechanistic conditions of the culture system, is based on a regression analysis from finite element analyses for a substrate undergoing large strains (<15%). The analytical (closed-form) solution is derived from the super-position of two elastic responses induced in the equibiaxial strain culture system after applying pressure to a substrate undergoing small strains (microstrains). There is good agreement between the strain predicted from the solutions and from the direct measurement. Using material and geometric properties of the culture system, the solutions developed here are straightforward and can be used to circumvent experimental measurements or finite element analysis to establish substrate pressure-strain relationships.

TI WRF/Chem-MADRID: Incorporation of an aerosol module into WRF/Chem and

AB The Model of Aerosol Dynamics, Reaction, Ionization and Dissolution (MADRID) with three improved gas/particle mass transfer approaches (i.e., bulk equilibrium (EQUI), hybrid (HYBR), and kinetic (KINE)) has been incorporated into the Weather Research and Forecast/Chemistry Model (WRF/Chem) (referred to as WRF/Chem-MADRID) and evaluated with a 5-day episode from the 2000 Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS2000). WRF/Chem-MADRID demonstrates an overall good skill in simulating surface/aloft meteorological parameters and chemical concentrations of O-3 and PM2.5, tropospheric O-3 residuals, and aerosol optical depths. The discrepancies can be attributed to inaccuracies in meteorological predictions (e. g., overprediction in mid-day boundary layer height), sensitivity to meteorological schemes used (e. g., boundary layer and land-surface schemes), inaccurate total emissions or their hourly variations (e. g., HCHO, olefins, other inorganic aerosols) or uncounted wildfire emissions, uncertainties in initial and boundary conditions for some species (e. g., other inorganic aerosols, CO, and O-3) at surface and aloft, and some missing/inactivated model treatments for this application (e. g., chlorine chemistry and secondary organic aerosol formation). Major differences in the results among the three gas/particle mass transfer approaches occur over coastal areas, where EQUI predicts higher PM2.5 than HYBR and KINE due to improperly redistributing condensed nitrate from chloride depletion process to fine PM mode. The net direct, semi-direct, and indirect effects of PM2.5 decrease domainwide shortwave radiation by 11.2-14.4 W m(-2) (or 4.1-5.6%) and near-surface temperature by 0.06-0.14 degrees C (or 0.2-0.4%), lead to 125 to 796 cm(-3) cloud condensation nuclei at a supersaturation of 0.1%, produce cloud droplet numbers as high as 2064 cm(-3), and reduce domainwide mean precipitation by 0.22-0.59 mm day(-1).

AB In systems with strong spin-orbit coupling, the relationship between spin transfer torque and the divergence of the spin current is generalized to a relation between spin transfer torques, total angular momentum current, and mechanical torques. In ferromagnetic semiconductors, where the spin-orbit coupling is large, these considerations modify the behavior of the spin transfer torques. One example is a persistent spin transfer torque in a spin valve: the spin transfer torque does not decay away from the interface but approaches a constant value. A second example is a mechanical torque at a single ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic interface.

AB Exact matching is investigated as a means of improving high-performance inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (HP-ICP-OES), a technique developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to enable elemental determinations with relative expanded uncertainty of approximately 0.2% expressed at 95% confidence. "Exact matching" refers to the very careful matching of analyte mass fractions, internal standard mass fractions, and matrix compositions among the calibration and unknown sample solutions prepared for an analysis. Computer spreadsheet modeling results and laboratory data involving 16 pairs of analyte and internal standard wavelengths show that exact matching of analyte and internal standard mass fractions mitigates imprecision and bias that can be caused by even subtle nonlinearity in the ICP-OES instrument response. Laboratory experiments also demonstrate matrix effects caused by small variations in acid composition and by mass fractions of Na less than 4 mg kg(-1), emphasizing the need for exact matching of matrix compositions. HP-ICP-OES analyses performed at NIST with and without exact matching illustrate that exact matching enables relative expanded uncertainties to be halved to approximately 0.1%.

AB The performance of 36 models (22 ocean color models and 14 biogeochemical ocean circulation models (BOGCMs)) that estimate depth-integrated marine net primary productivity (NPP) was assessed by comparing their output to in situ C-14 data at the Bermuda Atlantic Time series Study (BATS) and the Hawaii Ocean Time series (HOT) over nearly two decades. Specifically, skill was assessed based on the models' ability to estimate the observed mean, variability, and trends of NPP. At both sites, more than 90% of the models underestimated mean NPP, with the average bias of the BOGCMs being nearly twice that of the ocean color models. However, the difference in overall skill between the best BOGCM and the best ocean color model at each site was not significant. Between 1989 and 2007, in situ NPP at BATS and HOT increased by an average of nearly 2% per year and was positively correlated to the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation index. The majority of ocean color models produced in situ NPP trends that were closer to the observed trends when chlorophyll-alpha was derived from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), rather than fluorometric or SeaWiFS data. However, this was a function of time such that average trend magnitude was more accurately estimated over longer time periods. Among BOGCMs, only two individual models successfully produced an increasing NPP trend (one model at each site). We caution against the use of models to assess multiannual changes in NPP over short time periods. Ocean color model estimates of NPP trends could improve if more high quality HPLC chlorophyll-alpha time series were available.

AB A 10 year record of Arctic cloud fraction and radiative forcing has been generated using data collected at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) North Slope of Alaska site and the nearby NOAA Barrow Observatory (BRW) from June 1998 to May 2008. The cloud fractions (CFs) derived from ARM radar-lidar and ceilometer measurements increase significantly from March to May (0.57 -> 0.84), remain relatively high (similar to 0.80-0.9) from May to October, and then decrease from November to the following March (0.8 -> 0.57), having an annual average of 0.76. These CFs are comparable to those derived from ground-based radar-lidar observations during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment and from satellite observations over the western Arctic regions. The monthly means of estimated clear-sky and measured all-sky shortwave (SW)-down and longwave (LW)-down fluxes at the two facilities are almost identical with the annual mean differences less than 1.6 Wm(-2). Values of LW cloud radiative forcing (CRF) are minimum (6 Wm(-2)) in March, then increase monotonically to reach maximum (63 Wm(-2)) in August, then decrease continuously to the following March. The cycle of SW CRF mirrors its LW counterpart with the greatest negative impact occurring during the snow-free months of July and August. On annual average, the negative SW CRFs and positive LW CRFs nearly cancel, resulting in annual average NET CRF of about 3.5 Wm(-2) on the basis of the combined ARM and BRW analysis. Compared with other studies, we find that LW CRF does not change over the Arctic regions significantly, but NET CRFs change from negative to positive from Alaska to the Beaufort Sea, indicating that Barrow is at a critical latitude for neutral NET CRF. The sensitivity study has shown that LW CRFs increase with increasing cloud fraction, liquid water path, and radiating temperature with high positive correlations (0.8-0.9). Negative correlations are found for SW CRFs, but a strong positive correlation between SW CRF and surface albedo exists.

AB A high pressure, electron-beam directed-vapor deposition process has been used to deposit partially stabilized zirconia containing 7% mass yttria at deposition pressures of 7.5-23 Pa. Anisotropic, ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) was then used to determine the surface area, shape and orientation of pores within the coatings. The total surface area of the ellipsoidal shaped pores was found to increase with deposition pressure. However, the through-thickness thermal conductivity measurements reveal the existence of a minimum thermal conductivity in coatings deposited at an intermediate pressure. Observations of the anisotropic X-ray scattering intensity at this intermediate pressure indicated greater proportions of both feather-like (oblate) pores with their major dimension at about 60 degrees to the plane of the coating and fine columnar (prolate) pores oriented perpendicular to the coating plane. Since these oblate pore orientations are most efficient at impeding conductive thermal transport through the coating, it is believed that the change in preferred pore orientations with pressure is responsible for the higher thermal resistance of coatings grown in the intermediate pressure regime.

AB Displacive phase transitions in perovskite-like solid solutions AgNb1/2Ta1/2O3 were studied using several diffraction and spectroscopic techniques sensitive to average and local structures. The room-temperature phase of AgNb1/2Ta1/2O3 (M-2) is analogous to that of the end-member AgNbO3 and exhibits Pbcm orthorhombic symmetry with lattice parameters root 2a(c) x root 2a(c) x 4a(c) (a(c) approximate to 4 angstrom refers to an ideal cubic perovskite cell). This structure combines complex octahedral tilting and average antipolar B-cation (Nb, Ta) displacements. Similar to AgNbO3, at higher temperatures, B-cations are disordered among multiple sites displaced along (111), directions. Partial ordering of local B-cation displacements is manifested in the so-called M-3 <-> M-2 transition, which preserves the average Pbcm symmetry determined by the tilted octahedral framework; the transition is accompanied by a broad exploitable maximum of dielectric constant. Ta substitution suppresses this ordering because of the dissimilar off-centering trends for Ta and Nb. According to the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements, Nb cations exhibit much larger local off-center displacements than Ta, consistent with larger dielectric constants typically displayed by niobates compared to tantalates. AgNb1/2Ta1/2O3 maintains residual 8-site disorder down to low temperatures as opposed to 2-site disorder in AgNbO3. Our results suggest that Ag cations also exhibit displacive disorder and, on cooling, undergo ordering coupled to that of the B-cations.

AB We have re-examined the crystal structure and the physical properties of VOSe2O5 by performing single crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffraction, alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) magnetization measurements, heat capacity, dielectric properties, and second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements. From these studies, we observed that the compound undergoes three magnetic transitions near 4, 5.5, and 8 K. In addition, we observed ferrimagnetic behavior as the magnetic ground state, confirmed by the isothermal magnetization measured below 8 K that reveals a saturated magnetic moment of 0.5 mu(B) per formula unit, consistent with density functional calculations of the magnetically ordered ground state. We propose a ferrimagnetic spin arrangement that is consistent with neutron diffraction measurements as well. Frequency dependence in the AC magnetic susceptibility, observed at 5.5 K, is considered as short-range magnetic ordering and may be associated with the competition between nearest neighbor and next nearest neighbor interactions of the V4+ cations. A dielectric anomaly near 240 K and non-centrosymmetric functional properties, notably, second harmonic generation and electric polarization, are also discussed.

AB The modification of near-surface near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) by the geostrophic vorticity is studied globally from an observational standpoint. Surface drifter are used to estimate NIO characteristics. Despite its spatial resolution limits, altimetry is used to estimate the geostrophic vorticity. Three characteristics of NIOs are considered: the relative frequency shift with respect to the local inertial frequency; the near-inertial variance; and the inverse excess bandwidth, which is interpreted as a decay time scale. The geostrophic mesoscale flow shifts the frequency of NIOs by approximately half its vorticity. Equatorward of 30 degrees N and S, this effect is added to a global pattern of blue shift of NIOs. While the global pattern of near-inertial variance is interpretable in terms of wind forcing, it is also observed that the geostrophic vorticity organizes the near-inertial variance; it is maximum for near zero values of the Laplacian of the vorticity and decreases for nonzero values, albeit not as much for positive as for negative values. Because the Laplacian of vorticity and vorticity are anticorrelated in the altimeter data set, overall, more near-inertial variance is found in anticyclonic vorticity regions than in cyclonic regions. While this is compatible with anticyclones trapping NIOs, the organization of near-inertial variance by the Laplacian of vorticity is also in very good agreement with previous theoretical and numerical predictions. The inverse bandwidth is a decreasing function of the gradient of vorticity, which acts like the gradient of planetary vorticity to increase the decay of NIOs from the ocean surface. Because the altimetry data set captures the largest vorticity gradients in energetic mesoscale regions, it is also observed that NIOs decay faster in large geostrophic eddy kinetic energy regions.

AB The supply of oxygen-rich water to the oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) of the eastern North and South Pacific via zonal tropical currents is investigated using shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler and hydrographic section data. Near the equator, the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC), Northern and Southern Subsurface Countercurrents (SCCs), and the Northern and Southern Intermediate Countercurrents (ICCs) all carry water that is oxygen richer than adjacent westward flows, thereby providing a net oxygen supply to the eastern Pacific OMZs. The synoptic velocity-weighted oxygen concentration difference between eastward and westward flows is typically 10-50 mu mol kg(-1). Subthermocline zonal oxygen fluxes reflect decreasing oxygen concentrations of the EUC, the SCCs, and the ICCs as they flow eastward. Approximately 30 year time series in well-sampled regions of the equatorial Pacific show oxygen content decreasing as rapidly as -0.55 mu mol kg(-1) yr(-1) in the major oxygen supply paths of the OMZs for a 200-700 m layer and similar trends for a density layer spanning roughly these depths. This finding is in gross agreement with climate models, which generally predict expanding OMZs.

TI Interactions between Rydberg-dressed atoms
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A
LA English
DT Article
ID BLOCKADE
AB We examine interactions between atoms continuously and coherently driven between the ground state and a Rydberg state, producing "Rydberg-dressed atoms." Because of the large dipolar coupling between two Rydberg atoms, a small admixture of Rydberg character into a ground state can produce an atom with a dipole moment of a few debye, the appropriate size to observe interesting dipolar physics effects in cold atom systems. We have calculated the interaction energies for atoms that interact via the dipole-dipole interaction and find that because of blockade effects, the R dependent two-atom interaction terms are limited in size and can be R independent up until the dipolar energy is equal to the detuning. This produces R dependent interactions different from the expected 1/R(3) dipolar form that have no direct analogy in condensed-matter physics and could lead to interesting quantum phases in trapped Rydberg systems.

TI Phase fluctuations in anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates: From cigars
to rings
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A
LA English
DT Article
ID GASES; TRAPS
AB We study the phase-fluctuating condensate regime of ultracold atoms trapped in a ring-shaped trap geometry, which has been realized in recent experiments. We first consider a simplified box geometry, in which we identify the conditions to create a state that is dominated by thermal phase fluctuations, and then explore the experimental ring geometry. In both cases we demonstrate that the requirement for strong phase fluctuations can be expressed in terms of the total number of atoms and the geometric length scales of the trap only. For the ring-shaped trap we discuss the zero temperature limit in which a condensate is realized where the phase is fluctuating due to interactions and quantum fluctuations. We also address possible ways of detecting the phase-fluctuating regime in ring condensates.

TI Measurement crosstalk between two phase qubits coupled by a coplanar
waveguide
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID 2 SUPERCONDUCTING QUBITS; JOSEPHSON PHASE QUBITS; QUANTUM STATES; CAVITY
AB We investigate measurement crosstalk in a system with two flux-biased phase qubits coupled by a resonant coplanar waveguide cavity. After qubit measurement, the superconducting phase undergoes damped oscillations in a deep anharmonic potential producing a frequency chirped voltage or crosstalk signal. We show experimentally that a coplanar waveguide cavity acts as a bandpass filter that can significantly reduce the propagation of this crosstalk signal when the qubits are far off resonance from the cavity. The transmission of the crosstalk signal proportional to(omega(q)C(x))(2) can be further minimized by reducing the qubit frequencies and the coupling capacitance to the cavity. We model the large amplitude crosstalk signal and qubit response classically with results that agree well with the experimental data. We find that the maximum energy transferred by the crosstalk generating qubit roughly saturates for long energy relaxation times (T(1) > 100 ns) while the delay time necessary for the crosstalk signal to propagate to the cavity scales linearly with T(1). Ultimately, the use of resonant cavities as coupling elements and crosstalk filters is extremely beneficial for future architectures incorporating many coupled qubits.

multilayer graphene nanoribbons
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English
DT Article
ID GENERALIZED GRADIENT APPROXIMATION; RIBBONS; 1ST-PRINCIPLES; DEPENDENCE;
STACKING; STATE
AB Using first-principles density-functional theory, we study the electronic structure of multilayer graphene nanoribbons as a function of the ribbon width and the external electric field, applied perpendicular to the ribbon layers. We consider two types of edges (armchair and zigzag), each with two edge alignments (referred to as alpha and beta alignments). We show that, as in monolayer and bilayer armchair nanoribbons, multilayer armchair nanoribbons exhibit three classes of energy gaps which decrease with increasing width. Nonmagnetic multilayer zigzag nanoribbons have band structures that are sensitive to the edge alignments and the number of layers, indicating different magnetic properties and resulting energy gaps. We find that energy gaps can be induced in ABC-stacked ribbons with a perpendicular external electric field while in other stacking sequences, the gaps decrease or remain closed as the external electric field increases.

AB A two-hundred year instrumental record of annual surface air temperature in the Atlantic-Arctic boundary region was reconstructed from four station-based composite time series. The new time series adds seventy-six years to the previously available record. Credibility is supported by ice core records, other temperature proxies, and historical evidence. This record provides new perspective on past climate fluctuations in a region where pivotal climate system processes occur and where unexplained low-frequency variations were observed during the 20th century. It is well correlated with sea-surface temperature anomalies, both regionally and in the vicinity of the North Atlantic western boundary current and southern recirculation gyre. The extended instrumental record reveals an irregular pattern of decadal-scale temperature fluctuations over the past two centuries. The early 20th century warming event is by far the most striking historical example. Citation: Wood, K.R., J.E. Overland, T. Jonsson, and B. V.

AB To study the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field topology and its long-term evolution associated with the X3.4 flare of 2006 December 13, we investigate the coronal relative magnetic helicity in the flaring active region (AR) NOAA 10930 during the time period of December 8-14. The coronal helicity is calculated based on the 3D nonlinear force-free magnetic fields reconstructed by the weighted optimization method of Wiegelmann, and is compared with the amount of helicity injected through the photospheric surface of the AR. The helicity injection is determined from the magnetic helicity flux density proposed by Pariat et al. using Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Michelson Doppler Imager magnetograms. The major findings of this study are the following. (1) The time profile of the coronal helicity shows a good correlation with that of the helicity accumulation by injection through the surface. (2) The coronal helicity of the AR is estimated to be -4.3 x 10(43) Mx(2) just before the X3.4 flare. (3) This flare is preceded not only by a large increase of negative helicity, -3.2 x 10(43) Mx(2), in the corona over similar to 1.5 days but also by noticeable injections of positive helicity through the photospheric surface around the flaring magnetic polarity inversion line during the time period of the channel structure development. We conjecture that the occurrence of the X3.4 flare is involved with the positive helicity injection into an existing system of negative helicity.

AB We explore seasonal variability in isotopic fractionation by analyzing observational data from the atmosphere and the biosphere, as well as simulated data from a global model. Using simulated values of atmospheric CO2 and its carbon isotopic composition, we evaluated different methods for specifying background concentrations when calculating the isotopic signature of source CO2 (delta(s)) to the atmosphere. Based on this evaluation, we determined that free troposphere measurements should be used when available as a background reference when calculating delta(s) from boundary layer observations. We then estimate the seasonal distribution of delta(s) from monthly climatologies derived from several atmospheric sampling sites. This approach yields significant seasonal variations in delta(s) with more enriched values during the summer months that exceed the uncertainty of delta(s) estimated for any given month. Intra-annual measurements of delta C-13 in the cellulose of Pinus taeda growing in the southeastern U.S. also reveal seasonal isotopic variations that are consistent in phase but not necessarily amplitude with atmospherically derived estimates of delta(s). Coherent seasonal patterns in delta(s) inferred from the atmosphere and observed in the biosphere were not consistent with the seasonal isotopic discrimination simulated by a commonly used biosphere model. However, delta(s) seasonality consistent with observations from the atmosphere and biosphere was retrieved with a revised biosphere model when stomatal conductance, and thus isotopic discrimination, was allowed to vary in response to vapor pressure deficit rather than relative humidity. Therefore, in regions where vapor pressure deficit and relative humidity are positively covariant over the growth season, such as the sub-tropics, different stomatal conductance models may yield very different estimates of CO2 and H2O exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere.

AB Concentrations of amino acids in a human plasma pool were determined using four independent quantification methods. Orthogonal separation schemes (LC, GC, or GCxGC) and detection systems (triple quadrupole or time-of-flight mass spectrometry) are shown to demonstrate excellent consistency among platforms for quantifying 18 amino acids in NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1950 Metabolites in Human Plasma using a well-characterized isotope dilution (ID) quantification method. Measured levels were consistent with reference values in plasma from the literature. Individual amino acid concentrations in plasma varied by over an order of magnitude ranging from 1.83 mu g/g to 28.0 mu g/g (7.78 mu mol/L to 321 mu mol/L). Average variability (coefficient of variation) between experimental amino acid concentrations (excluding cysteine) among all methods was 6.3%. Certified mass fraction values for amino acids in NIST SRM 1950 will be established from statistically weighted means of all experimental results. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB During the Tropical Composition, Clouds, and Climate Coupling (TC4) experiment in July-August 2007, the NASA WB-57F and ER-2 aircraft made coordinated flights through a tropopause subvisible cirrus (SVC) layer off the Pacific Coast of Central America. The ER-2 aircraft was equipped with a remote sensing payload that included the cloud physics lidar (CPL). The WB-57F payload included cloud microphysical and trace gas measurements, and the aircraft made four vertical profiles through the SVC layer shortly after the ER-2 flew over. The in situ and remotely sensed data are used to quantify the meteorological and microphysical properties of the SVC layer, and these data are compared to the limited set of SVC measurements that have previously been made. It is found that the layer encountered was particularly tenuous, with optical depths (tau) between about 10(-4) and 10(-3). From the in situ and other meteorological data, radiative heating rate perturbations of similar to 0.05-0.1 K day(-1) are calculated. These heating rates are smaller than previous estimates for tropopause SVC, consistent with the smaller tau in the present study. Coverage statistics based on CPL data from other TC4 flights indicate that this cloud was not an outlier among the sampled population. SVC with properties similar to the one presented here are below the detection limit of space-based lidars such as CALIPSO, and a comparison with the TC4 statistics suggests that a majority (> 50%) of tropopause SVC (with tau < 0.01) could be unaccounted for in studies using CALIPSO data.

AB In the summer of 2007, the NASA DC-8 aircraft took part in the Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling campaign based in San Jose, Costa Rica. During this campaign, multiple in situ and remote-sensing instruments aboard the aircraft measured the atmospheric composition of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) in the equatorial region around Central and South America. During the 17 July flight off the Ecuadorian coast, well-defined "bubbles" of anomalously low-ozone concentration (less than 75 ppbv) were detected above the aircraft in the TTL at the altitude near 365 K (between 14 and 16 km) and at similar to 3 degrees S and similar to 82 degrees W. Backward trajectories from meteorological analyses and the aircraft in situ measurements suggest that the ozone-depleted air mass originated from deep convection in the equatorial eastern Pacific and/or Panama Bight regions at least 5 days before observation by the DC-8; this was not a feature produced by local convection. Given uncertainties known in regard to trajectories calculated from global reanalysis, it is not possible to identify the exact convective system that produced this particular low-ozone anomaly, but only the general origin from a region of high convective activity. However, the fact that the feature apparently maintained its coherency for at least 5 days suggests a significant contribution to the chemical composition of the tropical upper troposphere portion of the TTL from convective systems followed by quasi-horizontal transport. It also suggests that mixing time scales for these relatively small spatial features are greater than 5 days.

AB The location of GaN nanowires is controlled with essentially perfect selectivity using patterned SiN(x) prior to molecular beam epitaxy growth. Nanowire growth is uniform within mask openings and absent on the mask surface for over 95% of the usable area of a 76 mm diameter substrate. The diameters of the resulting nanowires are controlled by the size of the mask openings. Openings of approximately 500 nm or less produce single nanowires with symmetrically faceted tips.

AB Particle number concentration in the troposphere is an important parameter controlling the climate and health impacts of atmospheric aerosols. We show that nucleation rates and total particle number concentrations in the troposphere, predicted by different nucleation schemes, differ significantly. Our extensive comparisons of simulated results with land-, ship-, and aircraft-based measurements indicate that, among six widely used nucleation schemes involving sulfuric acid, only the ion-mediated nucleation (IMN) scheme can reasonably account for both absolute values (within a factor of similar to 2) and spatial distributions of particle number concentrations in the whole troposphere. Binary homogeneous nucleation (BHN) schemes significantly underpredict particle number concentration in the lower troposphere (below similar to 500 mbar), especially in the boundary layer over major continents (by a factor of up to similar to 10). BHN is also insignificant in the upper troposphere based on a recent kinetically self-consistent nucleation model constrained by multiple independent laboratory data. Previous conclusions about the importance of BHN in the upper troposphere should be revisited. Empirical activation and kinetic nucleation formulas significantly overpredict the particle number concentrations over tropical and subtropical oceans (by a factor of up to similar to 10 in the boundary layer), and the overpredictions extend from ocean surface to around similar to 400 mbar. This study represents the first comprehensive comparison of global particle number simulations with relevant measurements that have a 3-D global spatial coverage. Our results suggest that ion-mediated H2SO4-H2O nucleation appears to dominate over neutral H2SO4-H2O nucleation, not only in the lower troposphere but also in the middle and upper troposphere.

SO NATURE
LA English
DT Article
ID HIGH LANDAU-LEVELS; ELECTRON-SYSTEMS; MAGNETIC-FIELDS; MASS; GAS
AB Electrons in a single sheet of graphene behave quite differently from those in traditional two-dimensional electron systems. Like massless relativistic particles, they have linear dispersion and chiral eigenstates. Furthermore, two sets of electrons centred at different points in reciprocal space ('valleys') have this dispersion, giving rise to valley degeneracy. The symmetry between valleys, together with spin symmetry, leads to a fourfold quartet degeneracy of the Landau levels, observed as peaks in the density of states produced by an applied magnetic field. Recent electron transport measurements have observed the lifting of the fourfold degeneracy in very large applied magnetic fields, separating the quartet into integer(1-4) and, more recently, fractional(5,6) levels. The exact nature of the broken-symmetry states that form within the Landau levels and lift these degeneracies is unclear at present and is a topic of intense theoretical debate(7-11). Here we study the detailed features of the four quantum states that make up a degenerate graphene Landau level. We use high-resolution scanning tunnelling spectroscopy at temperatures as low as 10 mK in an applied magnetic field to study the top layer of multilayer epitaxial graphene. When the Fermi level lies inside the fourfold Landau manifold, significant electron correlation effects result in an enhanced valley splitting for even filling factors, and an enhanced electron spin splitting for odd filling factors. Most unexpectedly, we observe states with Landau level filling factors of 7/2, 9/2 and 11/2, suggestive of new many-body states in graphene.

ID SCHRODINGER CATS; QUANTUM
AB We have created heralded coherent-state superpositions (CSSs) by subtracting up to three photons frompulse of squeezed vacuum light. To produce such CSSs at a sufficient rate, we used our high-efficiency photon-number-resolving transition edge sensor to detect the subtracted photons. This experiment is enabled by and utilizes the full photon-number-resolving capabilities of this detector. The CSS produced by three-photon subtraction had a mean-photon number of 2.75(-0.24)(+0.06) and a fidelity of 0.59(-0.14)(+0.04) with an ideal CSS. This confirms that subtracting more photons results in higher- amplitude CSSs.

AB Ultracold atoms in optical lattices realize simple condensed matter models. We create an ensemble of approximate to 60 harmonically trapped 2D Bose-Hubbard systems from a (87)Rb Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice and use a magnetic resonance imaging approach to select a few 2D systems for study, thereby eliminating ensemble averaging. Our identification of the transition from superfluid to Mott insulator, as a function of both atom density and lattice depth, is in excellent agreement with a universal state diagram [M. Rigol et al., Phys. Rev. A 79 053605 (2009)] suitable for our trapped system. In agreement with theory, our data suggest a failure of the local density approximation in the transition region.

AB The performance of semiconducting polymers has been steadily increasing in the last 20 years. Improved control over the microstructure of these materials and a deeper understanding of how the microstructure affects charge transport are partially responsible for such trend. The development and widespread use of techniques that allow to characterize the microstructure of semiconducting polymers is therefore instrumental for the advance of these materials. This article is a review of the characterization techniques that provide information used to enhance the understanding of structure/property relationships in semiconducting polymers. In particular, the applications of optical and X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning probe techniques in this context are described.

TI Ensemble spread and its implication for the evaluation of temperature
trends from multiple radiosondes and reanalyses products
SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID UNCERTAINTY; DATASETS; BIAS
AB Based on the ensemble spread, a methodology of measuring uncertainty in weather forecasts, the temperature trend and spread have been estimated using five radiosonde data sets and seven reanalysis products beginning in 1989. The results show that the magnitude of warming or cooling depends on the data sources, atmospheric heights, and geophysical latitudes. Over low-middle latitudes, the cooling varies from -2.6 K/decade in NCEP-DOE to -0.8 K/decade in HADAT2 in the lower stratosphere. The warming weakly changes from 0.2 through 0.4 K/decade in the middle troposphere. Over Antarctica, there is a pronounced warming in the low-middle troposphere in the three NCEP reanalyses and the RATPAC radiosonde data sets, and cooling in the other eight products. Over the Arctic, the warming is observed from the lower troposphere to the lower stratosphere in all twelve data sets. Significant cooling is identified over the middle stratosphere (above 50 hPa) in all five radiosondes. For global mean temperature, the trend is approximately 0.2 K/decade in the troposphere and -0.8 K/decade in the stratosphere. The spread increases significantly with atmospheric height from approximately 0.1 K/decade at 850hPa to 0.8 K/decade at 30hPa. The spread in the reanalysis data sets is much larger than in the radiosondes in the stratosphere. In contrast, the spread in both the reanalysis and radiosondes data sets is very small and shows the trend in better agreement with each other in the troposphere. Citation: Xu, J., and A. M.

AB Background: Understanding movement patterns is fundamental to population and conservation biology. The way an animal moves through its environment influences the dynamics of local populations and will determine how susceptible it is to natural or anthropogenic perturbations. It is of particular interest to understand the patterns of movement for species which are susceptible to human activities (e.g. fishing), or that exert a large influence on community structure, such as sharks.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We monitored the patterns of movement of 34 sixgill sharks Hexanchus griseus using two large-scale acoustic arrays inside and outside Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Sixgill sharks were residents in Puget Sound for up to at least four years before making large movements out of the estuary. Within Puget Sound, sixgills inhabited sites for several weeks at a time and returned to the same sites annually. Across four years, sixgills had consistent seasonal movements in which they moved to the north from winter to spring and moved to the south from summer to fall. Just prior to leaving Puget Sound, sixgills altered their behavior and moved twice as fast among sites. Nineteen of the thirty-four sixgills were detected leaving Puget Sound for the outer coast. Three of these sharks returned to Puget Sound.
Conclusions/Significance: For most large marine predators, we have a limited understanding of how they move through their environment, and this clouds our ability to successfully manage their populations and their communities. With detailed movement information, such as that being uncovered with acoustic monitoring, we can begin to quantify the spatial and temporal impacts of large predators within the framework of their ecosystems.

AB Polymer chains, confined to cavities or polymer layers with dimensions less than the chain radius of gyration, appear in many phenomena, such as gel chromatography, rubber elasticity, viscolelasticity of high molar mass polymer melts, the translocation of polymers through nanopores and nanotubes, polymer adsorption, etc. Thus, the description of how the constraints alter polymer thermodynamic properties is a recurrent theoretical problem. A realistic treatment requires the incorporation of impenetrable interacting (attractive or repulsive) boundaries, a process that introduces significant mathematical complications. The standard approach involves developing the generalized diffusion equation description of the interaction of flexible polymers with impenetrable confining surfaces into a discrete eigenfunction expansion, where the solutions are normally truncated at the first mode (the "ground state dominance" approximation). This approximation is mathematically well justified under conditions of strong confinement, i.e., a confinement length scale much smaller than the chain radius of gyration, but becomes unreliable when the polymers are confined to dimensions comparable to their typically nanoscale size. We extend a general approach to describe polymers under conditions of weak to moderate confinement and apply this semianalytic method specifically to determine the thermodynamics and static structure factor for a flexible polymer confined between impenetrable interacting parallel plate boundaries. The method is first illustrated by analyzing chain partitioning between a pore and a large external reservoir, a model system with application to chromatography. Improved agreement is found for the partition coefficients of a polymer chain in the pore geometry. An expression is derived for the structure factor S(k) in a slit geometry to assist in more accurately estimating chain dimensions from scattering measurements for thin polymer films.

AB Type I collagen fibrillar thin films have been prepared on hydrophobic recovered poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces and inside of irreversibly sealed PDMS microfluidie devices. Fibrillar films prepared on PDMS surfaces have been characterized with optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy and compared with films prepared using more traditional bulk methods on thiol-coated gold substrates. Collagen fibril films formed after 18 h of incubation on PDMS surfaces were observed to have similar underlying film thicknesses (15 nm), fibril size (67 nm), fibril coverage (45%), and physiologically supermolecular structure when compared to films on gold substrates. Collagen fibrils formed within devices were also determined to be usable across physiologically relevant cell perfusion rates. To validate the utility of these collagen fibril thin films for cell culture applications, vascular smooth muscle cells are shown to attach to collagen fibrils and exhibit cell spread areas equivalent to those seen on collagen fibrils created via bulk cell culture methods on thiol-coated gold substrates. These results extend the use and benefits of collagen fibril thin films into microlluidic-based cellular studies.

AB We determined the Newtonian constant of gravitation G by interferometrically measuring the change in spacing between two free-hanging pendulum masses caused by the gravitational field from large tungsten source masses. We find a value for G of (6.67234 +/- 0.00014) x 10(-11) m(3) kg(-1) s(-2).

AB High-resolution superconducting gamma-ray sensors show potential for the more accurate analysis of nuclear material. These devices are part of a larger class of microcalorimeters and bolometers based on transition edge sensors (TESs) that have two distinct thermal bodies. We derive the time domain behavior of the current and temperature for compound TES devices in the small signal limit and demonstrate the utility of these equations for device design and characterization. In particular, we use the model to fit pulses from our gamma-ray microcalorimeters and demonstrate how critical damping and electrothermal stability can be predicted. [doi :10.1063/1.3486477]

TI Titanium nitride films for ultrasensitive microresonator detectors
SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS
LA English
DT Article
ID KINETIC INDUCTANCE DETECTORS; SUPERCONDUCTORS; LIFETIMES; TIN
AB Titanium nitride (TiN(x)) films are ideal for use in superconducting microresonator detectors for the following reasons: (a) the critical temperature varies with composition (0 < T(c) <5 K); (b) the normal-state resistivity is large, p(n) similar to 100 mu Omega cm, facilitating efficient photon absorption and providing a large kinetic inductance and detector responsivity; and (c) TiN films are very hard and mechanically robust. Resonators using reactively sputtered TiN films show remarkably low loss (Q(i)>10(7)) and have noise properties similar to resonators made using other materials, while the quasiparticle lifetimes are reasonably long, 10-200 mu s.

AB A recent study by Kim et al. (2009) claim that central Pacific warming (CPW) events in 1969, 1991, 1994, 2002 and 2004 are associated with a greater-than-average frequency of tropical storms and increasing landfall potential along the Gulf of Mexico coast and Central America. Based on an independent data analysis of tropical cyclone activity in the five CPW years, it is shown here that only 1969, 2002 and 2004 were characterized with significantly greater-than-average cyclone activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, whereas 1991 and 1994 were characterized with significantly lower-than-average activity. Coincidently, the Atlantic warm pool (AWP) was significantly larger than average during 1969 and 2004, and significantly smaller than average during 1991 and 1994. By performing multiple sets of ensemble model experiments using the NCAR atmospheric general circulation model, it is shown here that the increased tropical storm frequency in 1969 and 2004 can be readily explained by a large AWP and the associated vertical wind shear reduction and enhanced moist convective instability in the main development region for Atlantic hurricanes, without invoking a remote influence from the tropical Pacific. Therefore, we conclude that it is premature to associate CPW events to an increasing frequency of cyclone activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Citation: Lee, S.-K., C. Wang, and D. B.

AB The solar reflectance bi-spectral (SRBS) and infrared split-window (IRSpW) methods are two of the most popular techniques for passive ice cloud property retrievals from multispectral imagers. Ice clouds are usually assumed to be vertically homogeneous in global operational algorithms based on these methods, although significant vertical variations of ice particle size are typically observed in ice clouds. In this study we investigate uncertainties in retrieved optical thickness, effective particle size, and ice water path introduced by a homogeneous cloud assumption in both the SRBS and IRSpW methods, and focus on whether the assumption can lead to significant discrepancies between the two methods. The study simulates the upwelling spectral radiance associated with vertically structured clouds and passes the results through representative SRBS and IRSpW retrieval algorithms. Cloud optical thickness is limited to values for which IRSpW retrievals are possible (optical thickness less than about 7). When the ice cloud is optically thin and yet has a significant ice particle size vertical variation, it is found that both methods tend to underestimate the effective radius and ice water path. The reason for the underestimation is the nonlinear dependence of ice particle scattering properties (extinction and single scattering albedo) on the effective radius. Because the nonlinearity effect is stronger in the IRSpW than the SRBS method, the IRSpW-based IWP tends to be smaller than the SRBS counterpart. When the ice cloud is moderately optically thick, the IRSpW method is relatively insensitive to cloud vertical structure and effective radius retrieval is weighted toward smaller ice particle size, while the weighting function makes the SRBS method more sensitive to the ice particle size in the upper portion of the cloud. As a result, when ice particle size increases monotonically toward cloud base, the two methods are in qualitative agreement; in the event that ice particle size decreases toward cloud base, the effective radius and ice water path retrievals based on the SRBS method are substantially larger than those from the IRSpW. The main findings of this study suggest that the homogenous cloud assumption can affect the SRBS and IRSpW methods to different extents and, consequently, can lead to significantly different retrievals. Therefore caution should be taken when comparing and combining the ice cloud property retrievals from these two methods.

AB The special and unique techniques of neutron interferometry have been used to observe a number of topological effects. These include the quantum mechanical phase shift of a neutron due to the Earth's rotation (the quantum analog of the Michelson-Gale-Pearson experiment with light), the phase shift of a particle carrying a magnetic moment (a neutron) encircling a line charge (the Aharonov-Casher effect) and the scalar Aharonov-Bohm effect, observed with a pulsed magnetic field solenoid and time-of-flight neutron detection. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Aharonov-Bohm paper, we provide an overview of the neutron interferometry technique and a description of these three historic experiments.

AB The late Eocene through earliest Oligocene (40-32 Ma) spans a major transition from greenhouse to icehouse climate, with net cooling and expansion of Antarctic glaciation shortly after the Eocene/Oligocene (E/O) boundary. We investigated the response of the oceanic biosphere to these changes by reconstructing barite and CaCO(3) accumulation rates in sediments from the equatorial and North Pacific Ocean. These data allow us to evaluate temporal and geographical variability in export production and CaCO(3) preservation. Barite accumulation rates were on average higher in the warmer late Eocene than in the colder early Oligocene, but cool periods within the Eocene were characterized by peaks in both barite and CaCO(3) accumulation in the equatorial region. We infer that climatic changes not only affected deep ocean ventilation and chemistry, but also had profound effects on surface water characteristics influencing export productivity. The ratio of CaCO(3) to barite accumulation rates, representing the ratio of particulate inorganic C accumulation to Corg export, increased dramatically at the E/O boundary. This suggests that long-term drawdown of atmospheric CO(2) due to organic carbon deposition to the seafloor decreased, potentially offsetting decreasing pCO(2) levels and associated cooling. The relatively larger increase in CaCO(3) accumulation compared to export production at the E/O suggests that the permanent deepening of the calcite compensation depth (CCD) at that time stems primarily from changes in deep water chemistry and not from increased carbonate production.

AB Cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry (cluster SIMS) has been proven to be a useful technique for the surface and in-depth characterization of molecular films. In this study, an SF5+ polyatomic primary ion source is utilized for depth profiling in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bulk and thin films (200 nm). The effects of SF5+ ion beam energy are discussed in detail. Both 5 and 8 keV ion beam energies are utilized for depth profiling experiments, where the chemistry of sputtering is investigated using surface analytical tools such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in conjunction with SIMS. Thin film depth profiles acquired with 5 keV SF5+ display evidence of significant damage accumulation at the interface in the form of a highly cross-linked polymer gel. There is very little evidence of similar damage accumulation at the interface for the corresponding 8 keV SF5+ depth profile. AFM and XPS analysis of the sputtered crater bottoms also indicates that very different chemistries and morphologies are present at the interface when employing 5 keV vs 8 keV SF5+. For PMMA bulk samples, greater erosion depths were achieved when employing higher beam energies, similar to what has been observed previously with C-60(n+) depth profiling.(1) These increased erosion depths are attributed to the increased sputter rates of the PMMA at 8 keV SF5+ as compared to 5 keV SF5+, thus allowing for increased amounts of material to be removed prior to the approach of the gel point of the PMMA (dose at which a 3-D cross-linked structure is formed). Despite these increased erosion depths, the 8 keV SF5+ beam imparts greater initial structural damage, as indicated by decreased C=O contents in the C1s XPS spectra and increased amounts of graphitic type peaks in the corresponding SIMS spectra. Overall, the results indicate that, for thicker samples, one should employ higher beam energies for optimum results. However, for thinner films, in which the gel effect does not play a significant role, lower beam energies are preferred.

AB Although there are a variety of methods available for the detection of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in salmon and trout, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is probably the most widely used method. However, ELISA measures bacterial antigen, which does not necessarily reflect the number of cells present. We hypothesized that dual analysis of kidney tissue by ELISA and a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (qPCR) would provide complementary information about antigen level and the number of bacterial genomes. We found that DNA extracted from the insoluble fraction of the ELISA tissue preparation produced the same qPCR result as DNA extracted directly from frozen tissue, permitting true dual analysis of the same tissue sample. We examined kidney tissue in this manner from individual free-ranging juvenile Chinook salmon and antibiotic-treated captive subadult Chinook salmon and observed 3 different patterns of results. Among the majority of fish, there was a strong correlation between the ELISA value and the qPCR value. However, subsets of fish exhibited either low ELISA values with elevated qPCR values or higher ELISA values with very low qPCR values. These observations suggest a conceptual model that allows inferences about the state of infection of individual fish based on dual ELISA/qPCR results. Although this model requires further assessment through experimental infections and treatments, it may have utility in broodstock selection programs that currently apply egg-culling practices based on ELISA alone.

AB We present experimental infrared spectroscopic data on mass-selected, hydrated nitromethane anion clusters with up to four water ligands. The vibrational bands in the OH stretching region encode the solvent structure, while the CH stretching bands contain information on the influence of the hydration shell on the solute ion. We interpret our findings using density functional theory calculations. The first water molecule binds symmetrically to the two oxygen atoms of the nitro group but couples to low-frequency vibrational modes that impart a very complicated structure on the OH stretching region. Competition between water-ion and water-water interaction makes the dihydrate very floppy and precludes unambiguous structural assignment. The tri- and tetrahydrate spectra can be interpreted on the basis of H-bonded ring structures. The excess electron is polarized by hydration, which can clearly be seen by shifting CH stretching frequencies.

AB We report a new strategy that provides stringent control for the size and dispersity of ultrasmall nanoclusters through preparation of gold complex distributions formed from the precursor, AuClPPh(3) (PPh(3) = triphenylphosphine), and the L(6) (L(6) = 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino) hexane) ligand prior to reduction with NaBH(4) in 1:1 methanol/chloroform solutions. Monodisperse nanoclusters of distinct nuclearity are obtained for specific ligand ratios; [L(6)]/[PPh(3)] = 4 yields [Au(8)L(4)(6)](2+), [L(6)]/[PPh(3)] = 0.4 yields [Au(9)L(4)(6)Cl](2+), and [L(6)]/[PPh(3)] = 8 yields ligated Au(10) cores in the form of [Au(10)L(4)(6)](2+) and [Au(10)L(5)(6)](2+). Polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory accounts for the stability of [Au(9)L(4)(6)Cl](2+), which is the smallest closed-shell chlorinated cluster reported. Electrospray mass spectrometry and UV-vis spectra indicate that [Au(9)L(4)(6)Cl](2+) and [Au(10)L(x)(6)](2+) (x = 4, 5) result from reactions involving [Au(8)L(4)(6)](2+). Syntheses of small gold clusters containing chloride ligands open the possibility of constructing larger clusters via ligand exchange.

AB Since its inception in 2001, the science and technology of epitaxial graphene on hexagonal silicon carbide has matured into a major international effort and is poised to become the first carbon electronics platform. A historical perspective is presented and the unique electronic properties of single and multilayered epitaxial graphenes on electronics grade silicon carbide are reviewed. Early results on transport and the field effect in Si-face grown graphene monolayers provided proof-of-principle demonstrations. Besides monolayer epitaxial graphene, attention is given to C-face grown multilayer graphene, which consists of electronically decoupled graphene sheets. Production, structure and electronic structure are reviewed. The electronic properties, interrogated using a wide variety of surface, electrical and optical probes, are discussed. An overview is given of recent developments of several device prototypes including resistance standards based on epitaxial graphene quantum Hall devices and new ultrahigh frequency analogue epitaxial graphene amplifiers.

compound UMn2Al20
SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B
LA English

ID PR3TL; RESISTIVITY
AB Magnetic-susceptibility results for single crystals of the new cubic compounds UT2Al20 (T = Mn, V, and Mo) are reported. Magnetization, specific-heat, resistivity, and neutron-diffraction results for a single crystal and neutron diffraction and inelastic spectra for a powder sample are reported for UMn2Al20. For T = V and Mo, temperature-independent Pauli paramagnetism is observed. For UMn2Al20, a ferromagnetic transition is observed in the magnetic susceptibility at T-c = 20 K. The specific-heat anomaly at T-c is very weak while no anomaly in the resistivity is seen at T-c. We discuss two possible origins for this behavior of UMn2Al20: moderately small moment itinerant ferromagnetism or induced local-moment ferromagnetism.

AB On the basis of stable isotope analysis, we estimated the marine diet of the most abundant anadromous salmonid species in Patagonian Atlantic basins. The results were coupled with bioenergetic and population models to estimate the consumption of food by salmonids and was compared with that by seabirds, the most abundant top predators in the area. Amphipods were the main salmonid prey, followed by sprat, silversides, squid, and euphausiids. The total consumption, even assuming large anadromous salmonid populations, represented < 5% of the total consumption by seabirds. We also identified the particular seabird colonies and artisanal fisheries with which salmonid trophic interactions at a more local scale could be significant.

AB A versatile method for measurement of in-plane stiffness of micro-elements was developed and its usefulness has been demonstrated. The in-plane stiffness of a NIST nanopositioner has been measured directly using a colloidal probe in an AFM without any fixture. Using this method it was possible to measure the in-plane stiffness at different locations of the same micro-element. The in-plane stiffness ratio of a microlever system was also measured and a good agreement was found between the calculated and measured values. Further, when the minimum width of flexures is 4 mu m, the measured in-plane stiffnesses showed a close agreement with the calculated value. Published by Elsevier B.V.

calorimetry; retardation; sustainability
AB While high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete mixtures are attractive from a sustainability viewpoint, they are sometimes plagued by long delays in finishing, producing a performance that is unacceptable to contractors. In this paper, isothermal calorimetry studies are conducted to examine excessive retardation in HVFA mixtures based on both Class C and Class F fly ash. In addition to quantifying the retardation, the calorimetric curves are also used to evaluate the performance of mitigation strategies based on various powder additions. Powder additions examined in the present study include an aluminum trihydroxide, calcium hydroxide, cement kiln dust, condensed silica fume, limestone, and a rapid-set cement. The addition of either 5% calcium hydroxide or 10% of the rapid-set cement by mass of total solids (powders) is observed to provide a significant reduction in the retardation measured in mixtures based on either class of fly ash for the material combinations examined in this study. Thus, these two powder additions may provide viable solutions to mitigating excessive retardation, extending the use of HVFA mixtures in practice.

AB We report a method for tuning the distribution of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by the anodic arc production method via the application of nonuniform magnetic fields to the gap region during synthesis. Raman, ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared absorbance and near-infrared fluorescence spectroscopies were used to characterize samples together with scanning electron microscopy. Application of the nonuniform magnetic field 0.2-2 kG results in a broadening of the diameter range of SWCNTs produced toward decreased diameters, with substantial fractions of produced SWCNTs being of small diameter, less than similar to 1.3 nm, at the highest field. The ability to tune production of the arc production method may allow for improvement in achievable SWCNT properties.

AB The mechanical stability of polymeric nanostructures is critical to the processing, assembly, and performance of numerous existing and emerging technologies. A key predictor of mechanical stability is the elastic modulus. However, a significant reduction in modulus has been reported for thin films and nanostructures when the thickness or size of the polymer material decreases below a critical length scale. Routes to mitigate or even eliminate this reduction in modulus, and thus enhancing the mechanically stability of polymeric nanostructures, would be extremely valuable. Here, two routes to modulate the mechanical properties of polymers at the nanoscale are described. Exposure to ultraviolet light and ozone (UVO) cross-links the near surface region of high molecular mass PS films, rendering the elastic modulus independent of thickness. However, UVO cannot eliminate the decrease in modulus of low molecular mass PS or PMMA due to limited reaction depth and photodegradation, respectively. Alternatively, the thickness dependence of the elastic modulus of both PS and PMMA can be eliminated by addition of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) at 5% by mass. Furthermore, an increase in modulus is observed for films with thicknesses less than 30 nm with 5% DOP by mass in comparison to neat PS. Although DOP acts as a plasticizer for both PS and PMMA in the bulk, evidence indicates that DOP acts as an antiplasticizer at the nanoscale. By maintaining or even increasing the elastic modulus of polymers at the nanoscale, these methods could lead to improved stability of polymeric nanostructures and devices.

AB A model of hydride formation and dissolution has been proposed for a single spherical particle and for a collection of such particles with a given size distribution. The phase transformation strain gives rise to an elastic barrier to the transformation, which scales with the volume of the particle and produces a hysteresis effect known experimentally. Experimentally observed finite slopes of hydrogen pressure vs. chemical composition plots (instead of expected plateaus) are explained by the model for both the hydrogenization and dehydrogenization processes. These finite slopes and the amount of the pressure hysteresis depend on elastic properties of the hydride and metal phases, the transformation strain, and on the particle-size distribution in the powder.

AB Nanostructured polycrystalline LaB6 ceramics were prepared by the reactive spark plasma sintering method, using boron nanopowders and LaH2 powders with a particle size of about 30 nm synthesized by hydrogen dc arc plasma. The reaction mechanism of sintering, crystal structure, microstructure, grain orientations and properties of the materials were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Neutron powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction. It is shown that nanostructured dense LaB6 with a fibrous texture can be fabricated by SPS at a pressure of 80 MPa and temperature of 1300 degrees C for 5 min. Compared with the coarse polycrystalline LaB6 prepared by traditional methods, the nanostructured LaB6 bulk possesses both higher mechanical and higher thermionic emission properties. The Vickers hardness was 22.3 GPa, the flexural strength was 271.2 MPa and the maximum emission current density was 56.81 A cm(-2) at a cathode temperature of 1600 degrees C.

AB This paper explores the mechanisms of hillock and whisker growth in stressed polycrystalline films by molecular dynamics simulations. The initial geometry consists of three grains with a triple line aligned perpendicular to a free surface, plus a fourth pyramidal-shaped grain implanted between the triple line and the surface. This simulated grain geometry corresponds to that observed in experiments during hillock and whisker growth, with the fourth grain serving as a seed for hillock growth. The simulations, performed under an applied in-plane biaxial compression, reveal an upward motion and growth of the seed grain. The growth occurs by stress-driven grain boundary diffusion from below the seed grain onto some of its internal faces. Accretion of atoms to those faces pushes the seed grain upwards and sideways. The different diffusion and accretion rates at different boundaries also give rise to internal stresses, which can be partially accommodated by grain boundary motion coupled to shear deformation. The hillock growth is countered by surface diffusion, which can slow the growth or even suppress it completely. Other mechanisms involved in hillock growth are also discussed.

AB In the satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the Bohai Sea and Huanghai Sea, the authors observe sea surface imprints of wave-like patterns with an average wavelength of 3.8 km. Comparing SAR observations with sea surface wind fields and surface weather maps, the authors find that the occurrence of the wave-like phenomena is associated with the passing of atmospheric front. The authors define the waves as atmospheric frontal gravity waves. The dynamical parameters of the wave packets are derived from statistics of 9 satellite SAR images obtained from 2002 to 2008. A two-dimensional linear physical wave model is used to analyze the generation mechanism of the waves. The atmospheric frontal wave induced wind variation across the frontal wave packet is compared with wind retrievals from the SAR, images. The CMOD-5 (C-band scatterometer ocean geophysical model function) is used for SA 13, wind retrievals VV (transmitted vertical and received vertical) for ENVISAT and HH (transmitted horizontally and received horizontally) for RADARSAT-1. A reasonable agreement between the analytical solution and the SAR, observation is reached. This new SAR frontal wave observation adds to the school of SAR. observations of sea surface imprints of AGWs including island lee waves, coastal lee waves, and upstream Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGW).

Following solvent extraction, three independent methods were utilized in the quantification of these compounds. The first method involved reversed-phase liquid chromatography with ultraviolet absorbance detection at 210 nm and isotope dilution mass spectrometry. The second method utilized ion chromatography with conductivity detection. Finally, gas chromatography with isotope dilution mass spectrometry detection was used following derivatization with N-methyl-N-trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA). The combined data from these methods was used for the assignment of organic acid levels in the seven candidate SRMs.

AB Many of the current investigations on the environmental and human health risks of engineered nanomaterials focus on their short-term acute toxicity. However, the long-term chronic effects of nanomaterials on living systems, and in particular, on the genetic components of living systems, also warrant attention. An increasing number of nanomaterial safety studies include an assessment of genotoxicity as part of the overall risk evaluation. The potential of nanomaterials to directly or indirectly promote the formation of reactive oxygen species is one of the primary steps in their genotoxic repertoire. The subsequent modification of genomic DNA by reactive oxygen species could lead to the development of mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, or other age-related diseases if the DNA damage is not repaired. This review focuses on the interactions of nanomaterials with DNA and specifically on the capacity of some nanomaterials to induce oxidative damage to DNA. A critical assessment of the analytical methodology and the potential biochemical mechanisms involved in nanomaterial induction of oxidative damage to DNA is presented, results obtained for the various studies with each nanomaterial are compared, and recommendations for future research are discussed. Researchers should consider, among other experimental recommendations, (1) the application of more chromatography-based and mass-spectrometry-based analytical techniques to the assessment of oxidative damage to DNA to facilitate an enhanced understanding of DNA damage mechanisms and (2) the verification of cellular viability before conducting genotoxicity assays to reduce the impact of fragmented DNA, formed as a consequence of cell death, on DNA damage measurements.

ID COMPOSITION C-4; SAMPLES; SIMS
AB The application of surface analytical techniques such as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is explored as a means of differentiating between composition C4 plastic explosives (C-4). Three different C-4 samples including U.S. military grade C-4, commercial C-4 (also from the United States), and C-4 from England (PE-4) were obtained and analyzed using both ToF-SIMS and XPS. ToF-SIMS was able to successfully discriminate between different C-4 samples with the aid of principal component analysis, a multivariate statistical analysis approach often used to reduce the dimensionality of complex data. ToF-SIMS imaging was also used to obtain information about the spatial distribution of the various additives contained within the samples. The results indicated that the samples could potentially be characterized by their 2-D chemical and morphological structure, which varied from sample to sample. XPS analysis also showed significant variation between samples, with changes in the atomic concentrations, as well as changes in the shapes of the high-resolution C 1s and O 1s spectra. These results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing both ToF-SIMS and XPS as tools for the direct characterization and differentiation of C-4 samples for forensic applications.

AB Animals often produce sounds that are focused in a particular direction relative to the caller's orientation. Although many studies have suggested ways in which directional signal design might have behavioural significance among vocally interacting individuals, there are few direct tests using experimental approaches. During the breeding season and while fasting on land, male northern elephant seals produce airborne threat calls during dyadic interactions when competing for mating opportunities. In this study, we investigated the directional cues of these calls and tested hypotheses regarding directional signalling with respect to the behaviour of receivers during vocally mediated male agonistic interactions. We then determined effects of vocal directionality on receiver responses using an acoustic playback approach. We found that male calls had substantial directionality, particularly at higher frequencies (> 1000 Hz). Subordinate males responded more strongly by retreating when the caller faced the receiver compared to when the caller was at a right angle or faced away. We also found a significant difference in responses to playback sequences with different call directivity patterns. Males displayed significantly more negative phonotaxis (i.e. moved away) in response to playbacks that simulated a caller oriented towards them compared to when playbacks simulated a caller oriented away from them. These results suggest that the directionality of threat calls provides important information about the auditory scene and spatial orientation of conspecifics and that this trait, along with the receiver's ability to extract this information, may have evolved as a consequence of its effect on the breeding success and fitness of the individual.

AB The Chesapeake Bay (CB) is the largest estuary in North America and has been listed as unpaired under the Clean Water Act since 1998 Deteriorating water conditions are largely due to contaminants carried into the Bay by the many tributaries in the CB watershed The Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center of the University of Maryland at College Park is developing a Chesapeake Bay Forecast System (CBI'S) to provide regional Earth System predictions for the Chesapeake Bay watershed SWAT is utilized as the land module of CBFS to simulate the hydrology and water quality of the prominent tributaries in the CB watershed This aticle reports the model configuration as well as calibration and validation results for Rappahannock, one of the major CB river basins The complete configuration of the model involved the following steps watershed delineation and the establishment of hydrologic response units, sensitivity analysis, balancing water budget, adjusting crop yields, balancing flow partition, manual and auto-calibration, and validation The simulated quantities include daily average streamflow and daily loadings of sediment, nitrate, and phosphate The calibration NSE for the four variables were, respectively, 0 73, 0 63, 0 52, and 0 50 which met a set of stringent evaluation criteria set forth by Moriast et al (2007) as being good or satisfactory simulations NSE measures how well the plot of observed versus simulated data fits the 1 1 line and a value of 1 indicates a perfect simulation The calibration results also satisfied the other evaluation criteria used in this study with the exception of large uncertainty in phosphate load Validation of streamflow and nitrate load also met all the evaluation criteria including NSE being 0 70 and 0 61, respectively The validation results for sediment and phosphate loads were considered unsatisfactory with NSE being 0 25 and 0 19 The model statistics were compared to those of the Chesapeake Bay Program Watershed Model and showed strength in the simulations of Rappahannock River streamflow, sediment load, and nitrate load The Rappahannock SWAT model currently produces routine 14-day ensemble forecasts of daily flow and loadings of sediment, nitrate and phosphate in an automated system Four thresholds were used to compute the ETS skill score of the Rappahannock streamflow forecast 0 5, 1 0, 1 5, and 2 0 tunes of the average daily flow The ETS skill scores of the first day forecast were 0 75, 0 56, 0 52, and 0 41, respectively, for the four thresholds They remain around or above 0 4 up to 14, 8, 7, and 5 days lead time in the four cases The ETS scores reveal that the model has good forecast skill for base flow and noticeable skill for event flow The forecast skill remains visible for at least 2 weeks for base flow and at least 5 days for the event flow thresholds used in this study

AB Cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy (CE-DFCS) has demonstrated powerful potential for trace-gas detection based on its unique combination of high bandwidth, rapid data acquisition, high sensitivity, and high resolution, which is unavailable with conventional systems. However, previous demonstrations have been limited to proof-of-principle experiments or studies of fundamental laboratory science. Here, we present the development of CE-DFCS towards an industrial application-measuring impurities in arsine, an important process gas used in III-V semiconductor compound manufacturing. A strongly absorbing background gas with an extremely complex, congested, and broadband spectrum renders trace detection exceptionally difficult, but the capabilities of CE-DFCS overcome this challenge and make it possible to identify and quantify multiple spectral lines associated with water impurities. Further, frequency combs allow easy access to new spectral regions via efficient nonlinear optical processes. Here, we demonstrate detection of multiple potential impurities across 1.75-1.95 mu m (5710-5130 cm(-1)), with a single-channel detection sensitivity (simultaneously over 2000 channels) of similar to 4x10(-8) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2) in nitrogen and, specifically, an absorption sensitivity of similar to 4x10(-7) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2) for trace water doped in arsine.

TI Characteristics of oxygen flow through fine bubble diffusers used in the
aquaculture hauling applications
SO AQUACULTURAL ENGINEERING
LA English
DT Article
DE Fine bubble diffuser; Pure oxygen aeration; Gas flow
ID TRANSPORTATION; QUALITY
AB The oxygen flow rate was studied for carbon stone and ceramic plate diffusers, two types of diffusers that are commonly used in hauling applications. New diffusers were used in all experiments. It was found that oxygen flow was largest for dry diffusers operated in air and reduced for diffusers started in air and then placed in water and further reduced for diffusers soaked in water prior to use. The coefficient of variation for the two types of diffusers ranged from 7 to 18% for new units. If individual flow adjustment is not provided for each diffuser in a manifold distribution system (one oxygen source, several diffusers), small differences in pressure losses between diffusers can result in significant differences in oxygen flows. The initial oxygen flow during the loading of fish may be depressed until accumulated water in the hose and diffuser is expelled. Under some conditions, the oxygen flow rate can increase by 2-4 times over a 6-8 h period. Decreases in oxygen flow due to prior history may make it difficult to achieve the needed operating flows in a timely manner without exceeding the diffuser's pressure rating. This problem is likely to become more important due to aging and clogging of the diffusers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The impact of ice microphysical processes on the life span of a US Midwest supercell thunderstorm is studied using a cloud resolving model equipped with explicit cloud microphysical processes. The 2 August 1981 CCOPE supercell is chosen as the model storm to be tested. Three different runs are performed: a control run FPR with full physics (including ice physics), a normal liquid-only run NLR with all ice processes suppressed, and another liquid-only run ELR with artificially enhanced latent heat release to test the impact of thermodynamics versus ice microphysics on the storm's life cycle. The results show that the FPR storm evolves into a quasi-steady supercell whereas both NLR and ELR storms dissipate after similar to 100 min. The ELR storm dissipates even earlier than the NLR storm, demonstrating that the enhanced latent heat release does not help lengthening the storm's life span. Analysis confirms our previous finding that the presence of lower density ice particles enables the storm to develop a circulation that can sustain the quasi-steady storm structure. Implications of the findings are discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB Concentration variability in the fast-response tracer dataset for continuous, near-surface, point source releases in the urban core from the Joint Urban 2003 field study is analyzed. Concentration variability for conditionally and unconditionally sampled time series is characterized by probability densities, concentration fluctuation intensity, skewness, and kurtosis. Significant day-night differences in plume dispersion are observed. Relative to daytime, nighttime plumes were more likely to have reduced concentration fluctuation intensities, higher normalized surface concentrations, suppressed vertical mixing, and a greater prevalence of Gaussian-like distributions rather than log-normal or mixed mode distributions. This was in spite of the similar stability and turbulence conditions in the urban core for day and night. The potential roles of flow meander and thermal stability in explaining these differences are examined. Probability densities of concentration are found to be a strong function of fluctuation intensity. There are few differences in probability densities between day and night when classified by fluctuation intensity. There are no appreciable differences between conditional and unconditional probability densities and only small differences between conditional and unconditional sampling statistics relative to the larger differences usually observed in more homogeneous settings. Fluctuation intensity, skewness, and kurtosis are higher for the daytime experiments, and closer to the source, but show little difference between conditional and unconditional results over most of their range of values. The log-normal distribution provides a better overall fit to a broader range of the dataset than the exponential or clipped-normal distributions.

AB Conservation hatcheries, which supplement natural populations by removing adults or embryos from the natural environment and rearing and releasing parr, smolts, or adults back into their natal or ancestral streams, are increasingly being used to avoid extinction of localized populations of Pacific salmonids. We collected data before and during a steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) supplementation program to investigate the effect that the program has had on the population's genetic diversity and effective population size and any changes to an important life history trait (residency or anadromy). We found that supplementation did not cause substantial changes in the genetic diversity or effective size of the population, most likely because a large proportion of all of the steelhead redds in the river each year were sampled to create the supplementation broodstock. Our data also showed that the captively reared fish released as adults successfully produced parr. Furthermore, we found that during supplementation, there was an increase in the proportion of O. mykiss with anadromous ancestry vs. resident ancestry.

AB We evaluated the feasibility of identifying major acoustic scatters in North Pacific ecosystems based on empirical measurements of relative frequency response. Acoustic measurements in areas where trawl catches were dominated by single taxa indicated that it might be possible to discern among key groups of scatterers such as fish with gas-filled swimbladders, euphausiids, myctophids, and jellyfish. To establish if walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), a key species in the ecosystem, can be separated reliably from other groups under prevailing conditions, we developed a method based on the normal deviate (or Z score) to identify backscatter consistent with the pollock relative frequency response. We evaluated the performance of the method by comparing it with the traditional method of species identification (i.e., directed trawl catches and subjective interpretation of echograms) during five large-scale acoustic surveys of the eastern Bering Sea. Pollock abundance estimates employing the multifrequency method were highly correlated with those using the traditional method, which indicates that the multifrequency method performs well in this situation. In this environment, multifrequency methods will allow more inferences to be drawn when direct sampling of organisms is limited and will also complement existing abundance surveys by improving species classification and providing information about key nontarget species.

ID WALLEYE POLLOCK; LIFE-HISTORY; ECOPATH; ECOSIM; GROWTH; FISH
AB Examining food web relationships for commercially important species enhances fisheries management by identifying sources of variability in mortality and production that are not included in standard single-species stock assessments. We use a static mass-balance model to evaluate relationships between species in a large marine ecosystem, the coastal Gulf of Alaska, USA. We focus on food web relationships for four case-study species: Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus steno-lepis), longnose skate (Raja rhina), walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), and squids (order Teuthoidea). For each, we present the species' position within the food web, evaluate fishing mortality relative to predation mortality, and evaluate diet compositions. We find that high trophic level (TL) species, whether commercially valuable (halibut) or incidentally caught (skates), have mortality patterns consistent with single-species assessment assumptions, where fishing mortality dominates natural mortality. However, assessments for commercially valuable (pollock) or incidentally caught (squids) mid-TL species can be enhanced by including food web derived predation information because fishing mortality is small compared with high and variable predation mortality. Finally, we outline food web relationships that suggest how production of species may change with diet composition or prey availability.

AB The authors describe a Fortran subroutine that rotates the coefficients of a given spherical-harmonic model (in particular the geopotential). It is based on a paper by T. Risbo, working with the d-functions fundamental to axis rotations in Quantum Mechanics, his approach being equally applicable to the inclination functions of satellite geodesy (which we obtain as an option in the procedure). The subroutine applies Risbo's approach to evaluate, for a given inclination, stably and accurately, the necessary d-functions up to a specified degree, whilst at the same time 'rotating' (for each degree in turn) the values of the harmonic coefficients. We follow Risbo's helpful example by including a listing of the new subroutine.

AB Two single source precursors for vanadium oxide (vanadium oxytripropoxide, VO(OC(3)H(7))(3) and vanadium oxytrinitrate, VO(NO(3))(3)) are used to prepare selective chemical sensors. Sensors demonstrate reduced sensitivity to compounds formed during their preparation. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies suggest that this selectivity is likely due to preferred orientation resulting from differences in the molecular structures of the single source precursors used for preparing the vanadium oxide.

AB E-Business applications are often required to use different, incompatible, message sets to implement message interfaces for a business-to-business (B2B) communication. This makes communication with every new partner a new interoperability problem. In this article, we present a semantic-mediation architecture that provides for interoperable B2B data exchange. The mediation process is based on an Ontological Metamodel of message schemas and messages, and uses existing reference business ontologies. An approach for message schema semantic reconciliation and annotation is devised to support the mediation. We demonstrate the approach on a scenario that involves two incompatible message interfaces, one UN/EDIFACT based and another OAGIS XML based.

AB Interpopulation variation in dynamics can buffer species against environmental change. We compared population synchrony in a group of threatened Chinook salmon in the highly impacted Snake River basin (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) to that in the sockeye salmon stock complex of less impact Bristol Bay (Alaska). Over the last 40 years, > 90% of populations in the Snake River basin became more synchronized with one another. However, over that period, sockeye populations from Alaska did not exhibit systemic changes in synchrony. Coincident with increasing Snake River population synchrony, there was an increase in hatchery propagation and the number of large dams, potentially homogenizing habitats and populations. A simulation using economic portfolio theory revealed that synchronization of Snake River salmon decreased risk-adjusted portfolio performance (the ratio of portfolio productivity to variance) and decreased benefits of population richness. Improving portfolio performance for exploited species, especially given future environmental change, requires protecting a diverse range of populations and the varied habitats upon which they depend.

AB The rapid growth of scleractinian corals is responsible for the persistence of coral reefs through time. Coral growth rates have declined over the past 30 years in the western Pacific, Indian, and North Atlantic Oceans. The spatial scale of this decline has led researchers to suggest that a global phenomenon like ocean acidification may be responsible. A multi-species inventory of coral growth from Pacific Panama confirms that declines have occurred in some, but not all species. Linear extension declined significantly in the most important reef builder of the eastern tropical Pacific, Pocillopora damicornis, by nearly one-third from 1974 to 2006. The rate of decline in skeletal extension for P. damicornis from Pacific Panama (0.9% year(-1)) was nearly identical to massive Porites in the Indo-Pacific over the past 20-30 years (0.89-1.23% year(-1)). The branching pocilloporid corals have shown an increased tolerance to recurrent thermal stress events in Panama, but appear to be susceptible to acidification. In contrast, the massive pavonid corals have shown less tolerance to thermal stress, but may be less sensitive to acidification. These differing sensitivities will be a fundamental determinant of eastern tropical Pacific coral reef community structure with accelerating climate change that has implications for the future of reef communities worldwide.

AB High yield syntheses of size-confined Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 nanocrystals and nanoflakes, and their alloys, were carried out by a facile glycol-mediated solvothermal process. Phase purity and good crystalline quality were achieved for all alloy compositions by this synthesis process. The isotropically and anisotropically shaped nanocrystals were obtained without using any capping molecule, template, or ligand. Plausible growth mechanisms have been proposed. Densification via spark plasma sintering allowed for dense bulk polycrystalline specimens with nonagglomerated nanograins. This work is of interest in the context of research toward enhancing the thermoelectric properties of these materials. The synthesis process may be modified and extended to design nanostructures of thermoelectric materials with related crystal structures.

AB Spatially resolved details of the interactions of cells with a fibronectin modified surface were examined using surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI). SPRI is a label-free technique that is based on the spatial measurement of interfacial refractive index. SPRI is sensitive to short range interactions between cells and their substratum. The high contrast in SPR signal between cell edges and substratum facilitates identification of cell edges and segmentation of cell areas. With this novel technique, we demonstrate visualization of cell-substratum interactions, and how cell-substratum interactions change over time as cells spread, migrate, and undergo membrane ruffling.
