TY - JOUR T1 - Integration of NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer seafloor mapping, Little Hercules ROV, and sentry AUV data into ocean exploration operations and public data holdings AN - 1648909333; 2015-010571 AB - Within NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, the Okeanos Explorer Program's main tools for preliminary ocean exploration include a Kongsberg EM 302 multibeam sonar (30 kHz), Kongsberg EK 60 singlebeam sonar (18 kHz), and Knudsen subbottom profiler (3.5 kHz chirp). The program devoted multiple expeditions in the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic Margin during its 2012 Field Season to confirm and further develop the EM 302 multibeam sonar's water column backscatter data capability to detect gaseous seeps and vents. While mapping in the seafloor and water column in the vicinity of the salt domes of the Northern Gulf of Mexico, the EM 302 detected over two hundred distinct seeps in the water column. Several seeps have been explored in more detail using high definition cameras and lighting systems of the remotely operated vehicle Little Hercules and the camera platform Seirios. This included filming bubbles escaping from the seafloor at the locations determined by the EM 302 data to ground truth EM302 observations and deduce other properties of these gas seeps e.g. gas flux, and effect of these seeps on surrounding ecosystem. These seeps are now a major research focus area by scientists at the University of New Hampshire's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping and other academic institutions around the U.S., and the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. While mapping the Blake Ridge and Cape Fear Diapirs, seven distinct seeps were detected, each rising approximately 900 meters from the seafloor in water depths ranging from 2200 to 2500 meters. Several of these seeps were further explored with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's Sentry autonomous underwater vehicle, utilizing its Reson 7125 high resolution multibeam, photo imagery, sidescan, subbottom, and various in-situ sensors to characterize the local environment. It is to be noted that very few of these seeps were previously known. Following the Okeanos Explorer Program's paradigm of "Always Exploring", the mapping team collects data not only during focused mapping operations, but also during all transits. Okeanos Explorer data are collected with regard to the Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping Center's concept to "map once use many times", which aims to encourage and enable the multidisciplinary use of seafloor mapping data, including by the fields of marine archaeology, hydrographic mapping, extended continental shelf, biology, geology, geophysics, biopharmaceutical, ocean energy and resources, marine managed areas, fisheries, corals, oceanography, hazards modeling and assessments, education and outreach. To this end, all mapping, CTD and meteorology data sets collected by the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer are monitored and evaluated in the field for quality control purposes, and are made available through NOAA's public archives within 60 to 90 days of data collection, in useable formats and with associated metadata records. Additionally, all data sets collected by vehicles onboard the ship, including ROVs and AUVs, are made available directly following each cruise via NOAA's public archives.

More recently scientists at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) developed a tsunami forecast model, RIFT, that takes an earthquake's centroid moment tensor solution--either from nearby historic events or rapidly determined by W-phase analysis--and solves the linear shallow water equations in real time with commercial off-the-shelf computer servers and open-source software tools (Wang et al., 2009). RIFT not only rapidly calculates tsunami forecasts in real time, but also generates and archives data grids easily ingested by other software packages to generate maps and animations in a variety of image, video, and geobrowser file formats (e.g., KML). These graphical products aid both operational and outreach efforts as they help PTWC scientists to rapidly ingest and comprehend large, complex data sets, to share these data with emergency managers, and to educate the general public about the behavior of tsunamis. Prior to developing animation capability PTWC used tsunami travel time contour maps to show expected arrival times of the first tsunami waves. Though useful to expert users, such maps can mislead a nonexpert as they do not show amplitude information and give the impression that tsunami waves have constant amplitudes throughout an ocean basin. A tsunami forecast "energy map" improves tsunami hazard communication by showing the variability in maximum wave heights, but does not show the timing of the maximum wave arrivals. A tsunami forecast animation, however, shows both how fast the tsunami will move and the distribution of its amplitudes over time, thus communicating key concepts about tsunami behavior such as reflection and refraction of waves, that the first arriving wave is not necessarily the largest wave, and that tsunami wave oscillations can last for hours or days. Tsunami wave propagation animations are not new, but the speed of the RIFT calculations and modern computer hardware allow PTWC to generate a global-domain animation with 4-arc-minute resolution in less than two hours of real time, fast enough to provide decision support in tsunami warning operations and to share these animations with emergency managers and the public before the tsunami impacts threatened coastlines in the far field.

A systematic water column survey in 2007 found helium isotope ratios indicative of active venting at 6 of the 9 submarine volcanoes surveyed plus the Marsili back-arc spreading center (Lupton et al., 2011). Other plume indicators, such as turbidity and temperature anomalies were weak or not detected. In September 2011, we conducted five ROV Hercules dives at Eolo, Enarete, and Palinuro Volcanoes during an E/V Nautilus expedition. Additionally, two dives explored the Casoni Seamount on the southern flank of Stromboli where a dredge returned apparently warm lava in 2002 (Gamberi, 2006). Four PMEL MAPRs, with temperature, optical backscatter (particles), and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensors, were arrayed along the lowermost 50 m of the Hercules/Argus cable during the dives to assess the relationship between seafloor observations and water column anomalies. Active venting was observed at each of the volcanoes visited. Particle anomalies were weak or absent, consistent with the 2007 CTD surveys, but ORP anomalies were common. Venting at Eolo Volcano was characterized by small, localized patches of yellow-orange bacteria; living tubeworms were observed at one location. ORP anomalies (-1 to -22 mv) were measured at several locations, primarily along the walls of the crescent-shaped collapse area (or possible caldera) east of the Eolo summit. At Enarete Volcano, we found venting fluids with temperatures up to 5 degrees C above ambient as well as small, fragile iron-oxide chimneys. The most intense ORP anomaly (-140 mv) occurred at a depth of about 495 m on the southeast side of the volcano, with smaller anomalies (-10 to -20 mv) more common as the ROV moved upslope to the summit. At Palinuro Volcano, multiple dives located several active sites along the 50-km-long summit. The distribution of ORP anomalies seen during these dives correlates quite well with the locations of anomalous helium samples from 2007. An ORP anomaly of -160 mv was located at the west end of Palinuro where vent fluids up to 54 degrees C were found. Living tubeworms, bacterial mats of various colors and textures, and small chimneys and globular spires coated with iron oxide having bright-green interiors indicative of the iron-rich hydrothermal clay nontronite were found at actively venting areas on Palinuro. ORP anomalies were generally only detected in the near-bottom MAPR mounted on Hercules. In a few locations the MAPRs on Argus (10-30 meters above bottom) and 25 meters above Argus registered anomalies not seen by the MAPR on Hercules indicating active venting nearby, but not observed along the trackline of the ROV. Only the higher temperature vent site at the west end of Palinuro generated a plume that had an appreciable particle anomaly and rise height (seen by the Argus+25m MAPR). No anomalies were measured by the MAPR located 50 meters above Argus.

We develop a real-time method to compute the tsunami propagation energy by inversion of deep-ocean pressure measurements with numerical models (tsunami source functions). The 2011 Japan tsunami was the first, and the largest, tsunami for which deep-ocean tsunameter (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis, DART) data were available in the near and far fields from multiple well-positioned tsunameter stations. It provides sufficiently high quality tsunameter data for a thorough test of the real-time method. Based on the first wave recorded at the two closest tsunameters, our analysis suggests that the March 11, 2011 Tohoku-Oki tsunami generated off Japan originated from a 300-400 km long and 100 km wide area, and the total propagated energy is 3 X 10 (super 15) J. Measurements from 30 tsunameters and 32 coastal tide stations show excellent agreement with the forecasts obtained in real time. The near-field modeling study is also validated by the inundation patterns along the most severely impacted Japanese coast. Our study indicates that the propagated energy and the source location are the most important source characteristics for predicting tsunami impacts. Interactions of tsunami waves with seafloor topography delay and redirect the energy flux, posing hazards from delayed and amplified waves for many hours. Seafloor topography also gives its spectral imprint to tsunami waves. Travel time forecast errors are path-specific and correlated to the major wave scatterers in the Pacific. Numerical dissipation in the propagation modeling highlights the need of high-resolution inundation models for accurate coastal predictions. On the other hand it also can be used to account for physical dissipation to achieve efficiency. Our results provide guidelines for the earliest reliable tsunami forecast, warnings of delayed tsunami waves and enhancement of the experimental tsunami forecast system. Reliable regional forecasts may be achieved from a first wave recorded at a single near-field tsunameter. The first wave recorded at two near-field tsunameters with different directionalities can provide accurate forecasts basin-wide. Adding the third tsunameter has little effect in far-field but it may lead to some improvement in the near-field. We apply the method to quantify the energy from more than 30 tsunamis in the period of 1946-2011, independently from earthquake magnitudes. The small, tsunami to seismic radiation energy ratios, and their variability (0.01%-0.8%), reinforce the importance of using deep-ocean tsunami data, a direct measure of tsunamis, for estimates of tsunami energy and accurate forecasting.

Fe stable isotope ratios (delta 56Fe) are a potentially valuable new tool for studying the marine biological cycling of Fe. In order to effectively use Fe isotopes as a biological tracer, however, it is important to parameterize the isotope effect for biological uptake. We have therefore measured the biological fractionation of Fe isotopes by the marine diatoms Thalassiosira pseudonana, T. oceanica, and Phaeodactylum tricornutum in culture. During biological Fe acquisition, Fe(III) is often first reduced from Fe(III) to Fe(II), either in seawater or at the cell surface. Therefore, we have also measured the isotope effect for Fe(III) reduction by chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical processes. Diatoms were cultured in EDTA or NTA buffered media under varying Fe concentrations from Fe-sufficiency to Fe-limitation. Biological fractionation of Fe isotopes was determined by comparing delta 56Fe of phytoplankton to the media. The use of a cell wash allows us to distinguish between isotopic fractionation during extracellular adsorption and intracellular uptake. The biological fractionation of Fe isotopes is highly dependent on culture conditions with Delta delta 56Fe ranging from +0.6 ppm to -0.5 ppm depending on ligand composition, species, and Fe-limitation status. Isotope effects for chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) span an even larger range. For example, chemical reduction of Fe(III)-EDTA with hydroxylamine hydrochloride has an isotope effect of Delta delta 56Fe = -2.8 ppm. By contrast, photochemical reduction of Fe(III)-EDTA has an isotope effect of Delta delta 56Fe = +0.9 ppm. Isotope effects for electrochemical reduction of Fe(III) using a rotating disc electrode allow for greater control of experimental conditions, such as differentiating between the effects of electric potential (voltage) and mass transport (diffusion). By combining biological and inorganic data, we can better understand the pathways by which phytoplankton acquire Fe. For example, phytoplankton grown under high concentrations of Fe-EDTA are isotopically heavier than the media, while those grown under limited Fe-EDTA are isotopically lighter. This suggests an Fe uptake pathway in which photochemical reduction is important at high [Fe], and a switch to uptake by cell-surface reduction when Fe is limited. In combination with measurements of seawater dissolved delta 56Fe, such data might be used to infer which Fe-uptake pathways are most important in the surface ocean in different regions.

National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program; successes in tsunami preparedness AN - 1648908728; 2015-008778 AB - Formed in 1995 by Congressional Action, the National Tsunami Hazards Mitigation Program (NTHMP) provides the framework for tsunami preparedness activities in the United States. The Program consists of the 28 U.S. coastal states, territories, and commonwealths (STCs), as well as three Federal agencies: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Since its inception, the NTHMP has advanced tsunami preparedness in the United States through accomplishments in many areas of tsunami preparedness: - Coordination and funding of tsunami hazard analysis and preparedness activities in STCs; - Development and execution of a coordinated plan to address education and outreach activities (materials, signage, and guides) within its membership; - Lead the effort to assist communities in meeting National Weather Service (NWS) TsunamiReady guidelines through development of evacuation maps and other planning activities; - Determination of tsunami hazard zones in most highly threatened coastal communities throughout the country by detailed tsunami inundation studies; - Development of a benchmarking procedure for numerical tsunami models to ensure models used in the inundation studies meet consistent, NOAA standards; - Creation of a national tsunami exercise framework to test tsunami warning system response; - Funding community tsunami warning dissemination and reception systems such as sirens and NOAA Weather Radios; and, - Providing guidance to NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers regarding warning dissemination and content. NTHMP activities have advanced the state of preparedness of United States coastal communities, and have helped save lives and property during recent tsunamis. Program successes as well as future plans, including maritime preparedness, are discussed.

On decadal to multidecadal timescales, variability in these records is consistent with the null hypothesis that it arises from multivariate red noise generated from a linear inverse model of tropical ocean-atmosphere dynamics. On centennial and longer timescales, variability in both a last millennium simulation performed using the Community Climate System Model 4 (CCSM4) and in the paleoclimate reconstructions is inconsistent with the null hypothesis. However, the model and the reconstruction do not agree. In the model, variability reflects transient boundary conditions used to force it, whereas in the reconstruction, variability arises from either internal climate processes, forced responses that differ from those in CCSM4, or non-climatic processes that are not yet understood. In the CCSM4 last millennium integration, decadal to centennial timescales of variability are considerably more prominent in the west than they are in the east, meaning that the forced variability in the model expresses itself more strongly in regions that are not dominated by interannual variability. These findings imply that the response of the tropical Pacific to future forcings may be even more uncertain than portrayed by state-of-the-art models because there are potentially important sources of century-scale variability that these models do not simulate.

When to cancel a warning after a damaging tsunami AN - 1648908372; 2015-008788 AB - Following an earthquake a tsunami warning center (TWC) must determine if a coastal evacuation is necessary and must do so fast enough for the warning to be useful to affected coastlines. Once a damaging tsunami has arrived, the TWC must decide when to cancel its warning, a task often more challenging than the initial hazard assessment. Here we demonstrate the difficulties by investigating the impact of the Tohoku tsunami of 11 March 2011 on the State of Hawaii, which relies on the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) for tsunami hazard guidance. PTWC issued a Tsunami Watch for Hawaii at 10 March 1956 HST (10 minutes after the earthquake) and upgraded to a Tsunami Warning at 2131 HST. The tsunami arrived in Hawaii just before 0300 HST the next day, reached a maximum runup of over 5 m, and did roughly $50 million in damage throughout the state. PTWC downgraded the Warning to an Advisory at 0730 HST, and canceled the Advisory at 1140 HST. The timing of the downgrade was appropriate--by then it was safe for coastal residents to re-enter the evacuation zone but not to enter the water--but in retrospect PTWC cancelled its Advisory too early. By late morning tide gauges throughout the state had all registered maximum wave heights of 30 cm or less for a couple of hours, so PTWC cancelled. The Center was unaware, however, of ocean behavior at locations without instruments. At Ma'alaea Harbor on the Island of Maui, for example, sea level oscillations exposed the harbor bottom every 20 minutes for several hours after the cancellation. At Waikiki on Oahu, lifeguards rescued 25 swimmers (who had either ignored or were unaware of the cancellation message's caution about hazardous currents) in the hours after the cancellation and performed CPR on one near-drowning victim. Fortunately, there were no deaths. Because of dangerous surges, ocean safety officials closed Hanauma Bay, a popular snorkeling spot on Oahu, for a full day after the tsunami hit. They reassessed the bay the following morning just as waves reflected from South America started to arrive (36 hours after the earthquake), and prudently chose to keep the bay closed for two further days. The Tohoku tsunami showed that resonances and trapped waves in shallow water can last for many hours and that energy reflected from distant shorelines can rejuvenate them. PTWC's real-time simulation of the tsunami, including animation of its propagation, now helps to identify which reflections will be most troublesome and should permit the Center to specify in advance how long a Warning should remain in effect. The current open-ended warnings, which specify when the tsunami will arrive but not how long the Warning should last, should be replaced with warnings active for a specified time ("until 3 a.m. tomorrow"), with PTWC adjusting the projected cancellation time based on coastal sea-level observations. Such warnings should greatly reduce public misconceptions and state and local government expectations about how long the hazard will last. The National Weather Service, parent agency of the US TWCs, already issues weather Warnings and Advisories active for specific durations, so this message format is already familiar to both the public and emergency managers.

The region is at risk from earthquakes located on- and offshore and from tsunamis generated locally from faults associated with the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) and from distant sources elsewhere in the Pacific. In 1995 the California Geological Survey (CGS) published a scenario for a CSZ earthquake that included both strong ground shaking effects and a tsunami. As a result of the scenario, the Redwood Coast Tsunami Work Group (RCTWG), an organization of government agencies, tribes, service groups, academia and the private sector, was formed to coordinate and promote earthquake and tsunami hazard awareness and mitigation in the three-county region. The RCTWG and its member agencies projects include education/outreach products and programs, tsunami hazard mapping, signage and siren planning. Since 2008, RCTWG has worked with the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) in conducting tsunami warning communications tests on the North Coast. In 2007, RCTWG members helped develop and carry out the first tsunami training exercise at FEMA's Emergency Management Institute in Emmitsburg, MD. The RCTWG has facilitated numerous multi-agency, multi-discipline coordinated exercises, and RCTWG county tsunami response plans have been a model for other regions of the state and country. Eight North Coast communities have been recognized as TsunamiReady by the National Weather Service, including the first National Park the first State Park and only tribe in California to be so recognized. Over 500 tsunami hazard zone signs have been posted in the RCTWG region since 2008. Eight assessment surveys from 1993 to 2010 have tracked preparedness actions and personal awareness of earthquake and tsunami hazards in the county and additional surveys have tracked public awareness and tourist concerns about tsunami hazard signs. Over the seventeen-year period covered by the surveys, the percent with houses secured to foundations has increased from 58 to 84 percent, respondents aware of a local tsunami hazard increased from 51 to 89 percent and knowing what the Cascadia subduction zone is from 16 to 57 percent. In 2009, the RCTWG was recognized by the Western States Seismic Policy Council (WSSPC) with an award for innovation and in 2010, the RCTWG-sponsored class "Living on Shaky Ground" was awarded WSSPC's overall Award in Excellence. The RCTWG works closely with CGS and Cal EMA on a number of projects including tsunami mapping, evacuation zone planning, siren policy, tsunami safety for boaters, and public education messaging. Current projects include working with CGS to develop a "playbook" tsunami mapping product to illustrate the expected effects from a range of tsunami source events and assist local governments in focusing future response actions to reflect the range expected impacts from distant source events. Preparedness efforts paid off on March 11, 2011 when a tsunami warning was issued for the region and significant damage occurred in harbor regions of Del Norte County and Mendocino County. Full-scale evacuations were carried out in a coordinated manner and the majority of the commercial fishing fleet in Crescent City was able to exit the harbor before the tsunami arrived.

This low-lying island faces the Puerto Rico Trench 120 km to the north. The island's north shore, fringed by a coral reef 100-1200 m offshore, displays geological evidence for two levels of overwash. The medieval overwash, dated to AD 1200-1450, was the higher one. It is evidenced by scores of coral boulders scattered hundreds of meters inland. Some of them crossed the area of the modern storm berm at Soldier Wash, continued across a broad limestone rise 3-4 m above sea level, and came to rest on lower ground farther inland. Coral heads in four other areas, also medieval or older, came to rest hundreds of meters inland from beach ridges now 2-4 m above sea level. The later, lower-elevation overwash, dated to AD 1650-1800, laid down a sheet of sand and shell that extends as much as 1.5 km inland. The hypothetical causes for each event, tested by numerical modeling, include (1) category IV and V hurricanes that differ in surge and wave heights; (2) the 1755 Lisbon earthquake or hypothetical medieval predecessor, at M 8.7 and M 9.0; (3) M 8.4 thrust earthquake along the Puerto Rico Trench between Hispaniola and Anegada; (4) M 8.7 thrust along the Puerto Rico Trench between Tortola and Antigua; (5) M 8.0 earthquake from normal faulting on the outer rise north of Anegada. The model output includes extent of onshore flooding, depth and velocity of overland flow, and energy lost by tsunami and hurricane waves as they cross the reef and continue across a shallow subtidal flat to Anegada's north shore. For the medieval overwash, the modeling is most conclusive in testing various explanations for the coral boulders inland of Soldier Wash. The simulated hurricane waves do not wash inland of the storm berm; the height of storm surge level is limited by deep water offshore, and the waves lose energy by breaking on the reef. As for the hypothesized tsunami sources, the Soldier Wash evidence is explained only by the M 8.7 interplate-thrust source along the eastern Puerto Rico Trench (4) or the outer-rise source north of Anegada (5). The M 8.7 interplate-thrust source may be inconsistent with recent GPS measurements [1], in which case the likely source is normal faulting on the outer rise (L = 132 km, W = 45 km, depth = 7.5 km, dip = 60 degrees , strike = 110 degrees , rake = -90 degrees , slip = 7.1 m). The 1755 Lisbon tsunami may explain the sand-and-shell sheet from 1650-1800, with two caveats: (1) the sheet extends farther inland than does the modeled inundation from a Lisbon source smaller than M 9.0; and (2) neither of the Lisbon sources tested corresponds to mapped faults offshore Iberia (the modeled Lisbon sources strike NNW-SSE to account for flooding and damage elsewhere in the Caribbean [2]). In the hurricane models, the reef and the subtidal flats behind it dissipate too much wave energy from the storms to explain even the low-elevation overwash of 1650-1800.

S. West Coast from a plausible M9 earthquake near the Alaska Peninsula AN - 1648908137; 2015-008794 AB - The U. S. Geological Survey's Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) project, in collaboration with the California Geological Survey, the California Emergency Management Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other agencies and institutions are developing a Tsunami Scenario to describe in detail the impacts of a tsunami generated by a hypothetical, but realistic, M9 earthquake near the Alaska Peninsula. The overarching objective of SAFRR and its predecessor, the Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project, is to help communities reduce losses from natural disasters. As requested by emergency managers and other community partners, a primary approach has been comprehensive, scientifically credible scenarios that start with a model of a geologic event and extend through estimates of damage, casualties, and societal consequences. The first product was the ShakeOut scenario, addressing a hypothetical earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, that spawned the successful Great California ShakeOut, an annual event and the nation's largest emergency preparedness exercise. That was followed by the ARkStorm scenario, which addresses California winter storms that surpass hurricanes in their destructive potential. Some of the Tsunami Scenario's goals include developing advanced models of currents and inundation for the event; spurring research related to Alaskan earthquake sources; engaging the port and harbor decision makers; understanding the economic impacts to local, regional and national economy in both the short and long term; understanding the ecological, environmental, and societal impacts of coastal inundation; and creating enhanced communication products for decision-making before, during, and after a tsunami event. The state of California, through CGS and Cal EMA, is using the Tsunami Scenario as an opportunity to evaluate policies regarding tsunami impact. The scenario will serve as a long-lasting resource to teach preparedness and inform decision makers. The SAFRR Tsunami Scenario is organized by a coordinating committee with several working groups, including Earthquake Source, Paleotsunami/Geology Field Work, Tsunami Modeling, Engineering and Physical Impacts, Ecological Impacts, Emergency Management and Education, Social Vulnerability, Economic and Business Impacts, and Policy. In addition, the tsunami scenario process is being assessed and evaluated by researchers from the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The source event, defined by the USGS' Tsunami Source Working Group, is an earthquake similar to the 2011 Tohoku event, but set in the Semidi subduction sector, between Kodiak Island and the Shumagin Islands off the Pacific coast of the Alaska Peninsula. The Semidi sector is probably late in its earthquake cycle and comparisons of the geology and tectonic settings between Tohoku and the Semidi sector suggest that this location is appropriate. Tsunami modeling and inundation results have been generated for many areas along the California coast and elsewhere, including current velocity modeling for the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego, and Ventura Harbor. Work on impacts to Alaska and Hawaii will follow. Note: Costas Synolakis (USC) is also an author of this abstract.

Such a relationship would allow Tsunami Warning Centers (TWCs) to forecast the duration of dangerous activity based on an estimate of the peak amplitude at a particular site. Tidal variations were filtered out of the signal and the duration between the arrival time and the time at which the signals drops and stays below dangerous levels was computed. The processed time series of tsunamis are evaluated and a linear least-squares fit with 95% confidence interval was examined to forecast tsunami durations dependent on maximum tsunami amplitude in the study region. The confidence interval is roughly 45 hours in the range of maximum tsunami amplitudes which we are interested in. This relatively large confidence interval results from variations in local resonance effects, late-arriving reflections, and other effects at certain stations. The results demonstrate that signal duration can be estimated from maximum amplitude, though the range of uncertainty is large. Therefore, the linear correlation between maximum amplitude and signal duration may be valuable as a forecast tool during tsunami warnings where forecast peak amplitude is utilized to estimate the duration of danger for a site.

At the end of 2009, a total of 518 active vent fields was catalogued, with about half (245) visually confirmed and others (273) inferred active at the seafloor. About half (52%) of these vent fields are at mid-ocean ridges (MORs), 25% at volcanic arcs, 21% at back-arc spreading centers (BASCs), and 2% at intra-plate volcanoes and other settings. One third are in high seas, and the nations with the most known active vent fields within EEZs are Tonga, USA, Japan, and New Zealand. The increase in known vent fields reflects a number of factors, including increased national and commercial interests in seafloor hydrothermal deposits as mineral resources. Here, we have comprehensively documented the percentage of strike length at MORs and BASCs that has been systematically explored for hydrothermal activity. As of the end of 2009, almost 30% of the approximately 60,000 km of MORs had been surveyed at least with spaced vertical profiles to detect hydrothermal plumes. A majority of the vents discovered at MORs in the past decade occurred at segments with < 60 mm/yr full spreading rate. Discoveries at ultra-slow MORs in the past decade included the deepest known vent (Beebe at Mid-Cayman Rise) and high-temperature black smoker vents (e.g., Dragon at SWIR and Loki's Castle at Mohns Ridge), and the highest temperature vent was measured at the slow-spreading S MAR (Turtle Pits). Using a previously published equation for the linear relationship between the number of active vent fields per 100 km strike length (F (sub s) ) vs. weighted-average full spreading rate (u (sub s) ), we predicted 676 vent fields remaining to be discovered at MORs. Even accounting for the lower F (sub s) at slower spreading rates, almost half of the vents that are predicted remaining to be discovered at MORs are at ultra-slow to slow spreading rates (< 40 mm/yr) and about 1/3 at intermediate rates (40-80 mm/yr). MOR regions that are little explored tend to be at high latitudes, such as the ultra-slow to slow spreading Arctic MORs (e.g., Kolbeinsey and Mohns Ridges), the ultra-slow American-Antarctic Ridge, and the intermediate spreading Pacific-Antarctic Ridge. Although a greater percentage of the approximately 11,000 km of BASCs has been surveyed for hydrothermal activity, the discoveries at BASCs in the past decade were mainly at segments with intermediate to fast spreading rates. Using the same equation for F (sub s) vs. u (sub s) , we predicted 71 vent fields remaining to be discovered at BASCs, and most are likely to be found at ultra-slow and slow spreading segments (e.g., Andaman Basin, and central to northern Mariana Trough). With 2/3 of our overall predicted total vent fields at spreading ridges remaining to be discovered, we expect that the next decade of exploration will continue to yield new discoveries, leading to new insights into biogeography of vent fauna and the global impacts of fluxes of heat and materials from vents into our oceans.

In the following 18 months four expeditions, NOAA NeMO cruises in July 2011 and Aug 2012, and OOI-RSN cruises in August 2011 and September 2012, conducted water column sampling campaigns at Axial to assess the magnitude and composition of the hydrothermal plumes associated with the known vent fields and newly erupted lavas. The deep water column signal was characterized by profile measurements of temperature, beam attenuation, light backscatter, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP); this data was augmented by discrete water sample measurements of H2, CH4, 3He/4He, microbial abundance (DAPI counts), bacterial counts, and bacterial sequencing of select samples. At three and four months after the eruption no megaplumes were detected, as the plumes were 30-100 meters thick with typical rise heights of 75-150m. However, a water column signal derived from snowblower vents driven by post-eruption enhanced hydrothermal circulation was observed, as were elevated methane concentrations 5-20 meters off bottom, presumably associated with widespread diffuse flow.

Along ridge lengths with near-constant spreading rate, however, the density of venting can vary dramatically depending on the style and timing of melt delivery to the crust. Here we combine a 1996 hydrothermal survey of 10 ridge segments on and around the Amsterdam-St. Paul "hotspot" with new data from cruises in 2007 (China) and 2009 and 2010 (the French GEISEIR project) along 7 adjacent segments to map the spatial variability of hydrothermal plumes along 2500 km of the Southeast Indian Ridge. The full spreading rate in the survey area increases westward from 62 to 68 mm/yr. These data constitute the longest extent of ridge crest with detailed hydrothermal plume observations yet compiled, covering 15 first- or second-order segments equaling approximately 4% of the total length ( approximately 70K km) of the global MOR. In all surveys, plumes were detected using light backscattering and (in 2010) oxidation-reduction-potential sensors on Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorders (MAPR) attached to a rock corer or dredge. Of the 227 successful stations, we found clear plume evidence at 46 and possible evidence at 15 others, for an overall plume density fraction (p (sub h) ) of 0.27. The primary control on the spatial distribution of venting is the ASP hotspot. Forty-four stations along 5 segments within the geochemically defined hotspot region included only a single plume (p (sub h) =0.022). Evidence for such hydrothermal dampening has been documented near the Iceland, Ascension, and Galapagos hotspots, but our data are the first from a ridge section that crosses a hotspot platform and extends well beyond its influence. Along the 10 segments not influenced by the hotspot, a p (sub h) of 0.33 is consistent with the global trend of p (sub h) vs. spreading rate. A secondary control on the spatial distribution of venting is the apparent magmatic budget of individual segments. The intermediate-spreading SEIR displays dramatic contrasts in axial morphology reflecting the recent magma budget. The spatial density of venting on 9 non-hotspot segments is directly correlated (r (super 2) approximately 0.8) with the cross-sectional area within 10 km of the axis. We found no hydrothermal plumes on segments with deep axial valleys or narrow triangular highs, few to occasional plumes on segments with domed axial highs, and abundant plumes on segments with the broadest highs. On at least one segment, dampening of hydrothermal activity appears related to a small section with an unusually high magma supply. The plume distribution was not randomly scattered throughout the survey area. Three-quarters of the plume stations occur in 8 groups of 4 or more stations with a mean station separation <12 km in each group. We infer that each group overlies a magma melt lens, implying a cumulative lens extent of at least 330 km along the non-ASP ridge axis. Comparison of data from all cruises suggests that at least 3 of these groups were active in 1996.

While there is awareness of the threat, tsunamis are infrequent and few communities have a good understanding of vulnerability. The occurrence of several destructive tsunamis in recent years has lead to an increased focus on probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment and evaluation of the tsunami evacuation maps and warning system, which is based on deterministic approach. In this study NOAA's tsunami forecast system, which has successfully modeled the 2011 Tohoku and 2010 Chilean tsunamis, is used for modeling model hypothetical tsunamis from the Pacific Rim with various magnitudes and the return periods of the tsunamis resulting from these events are combined with the wave height exceedance from the numerical results to provide a total probability of exceedance, for ports and harbors in California. The probabilistic approach shows that while the Northern and Central California higher tsunami risk, as they are oriented towards the Alaska Aleutians; Southern California can be impacted with frequent tsunamis generated on Central Southern American Subduction Zone, Tonga and Manu trench, as well as the Alaska Aleutians.

In real tsunami scenarios this evaluation becomes impractical due to the absence of observational data of tsunami flow velocities in shallow water. Consequently the extent of validity of the linear regime in the ocean is unclear. Linearity is the fundamental assumption behind tsunami source inversion processes based on linear combinations of unit propagation runs from a deep water propagation database (Gica et al., 2008). The primary tsunami elevation data for such inversion is usually provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) deep-water tsunami detection systems known as DART. The use of tide gauge data for such inversions is more controversial due to the uncertainty of wave linearity at the depth of the tide gauge site. This study demonstrates the inaccuracies incurred in source estimation using tide gauge data in conjunction with a linear combination procedure for tsunami source estimation.

How a tsunami might inundate is determined by a variety of event-unique factors that are difficult to accurately prepare for; near shore dynamics and local bathymetry guarantee a distinctive experience at every locality. The island of St. Paul, located in the middle of the Bering Sea, measured a significant tsunami during the Japanese event in 2011. Believing that the Aleutian Chain would minimize tsunami energy into the Bering Sea, this was an eye-opening observation. Real science gives us real answers. The only way to accurately understand the effect of a tsunami is to have a tsunami; a completely unpredictable event without a season. Over the last few years, there have been several large events. Assessing impacts from the Chilean tsunami of 2010 and the Japanese tsunami of 2011, as well as other events such as Samoa and Haiti, has offered a fine-tuning to tsunami understanding and modeling. Using observed amplitudes, tsunami history, oral stories, and improved static modeling techniques, the ability to access threat by community is becoming possible. Communities previously ranked on broad generalizations are now assessed more specifically with data and modeling, providing new insights to their threat ranking. The critical though complex task of preparedness for Alaska, the state with the most coast-line and the least road system, is expensive and difficult. Translating the potential effects to emergency managers is a vague undertaking depending on the possible scenarios considered. Our understanding, with fine tuning, is proving to be essential in our approach. The reanalysis of the distance tsunami threat determined by updated tsunami science gives local officials the opportunity to improve community preparedness and allow communities to allocate scarce resources wisely.

Progress in understanding these issues has lead to recent studies which link the lower than modern MMCO tropical SST records to diagenetically altered foraminifera. Second, recent CO2 estimates for the MMCO now approximate above modern CO2 levels ( approximately 400 + or - 50 ppm). With this information, we show using the recently released Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5) from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) with comprehensive pointwise model data comparison that we can match the majority of the terrestrial and SST proxies records at the MMCO at 400 ppm CO2. The CAM5 MMCO modeling simulations exhibit a higher temperature sensitivity to boundary condition changes and CO2 concentrations in comparison to CAM4, leading to reductions in shortwave cloud forcing and high latitude sea ice in CAM5. These changes produce a mean annual temperatures (MAT) of 294.2 K in the CAM5 MMCO simulations compared to 291.5 K in CAM4. Additional high latitude warming, improving the model proxy data comparison, is achieved by imposing a reduced temperature gradient in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP) in the MMCO simulations, backing the hypothesis that MMCO tropical circulation may have induced a flattening of the thermocline in the EEP. Different temperature sensitivities to atmospheric CO2 in the MMCO CAM4 and CAM5 simulations lead us to explore the implications of temperature sensitivity using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Using an ensemble of climate models from the CMIP5 we calculate the CO2 induced temperature change of ten models with lower temperature sensitivity to CO2 compared against an ensemble of ten models with higher sensitivity to CO2. We also propose that future climate change predictions can be improved by isolating models that are able to match past paleoclimate greenhouse periods which have boundary conditions close to modern boundary and use those models to make projections into the future.

If current climate change trends continue, low-lying islands across the globe may become inundated over the next century, placing island biodiversity at risk. Adding to the risk of inundation due to sea level rise is the occurrence of cyclones and tsunamis. This combined trend will affect the low-lying islands of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and it is therefore important to assess its impact since these islands are critical habitats to many endangered endemic species and support the largest tropical seabird rookery in the world. The 11 March 2011 Tohoku (Mw=8.8) earthquake-tsunami affected the habitat of many endangered endemic species in Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge because all three islands (Sand, Eastern and Spit) were inundated by tsunami waves. At present sea level, some tsunamis from certain source regions would not affect Midway Atoll. For example, the previous earthquake-tsunamis such as the 15 November 2006 Kuril (Mw=8.1) and 13 February 2007 Kuril (Mw=7.9) were not significant enough to affect Midway Atoll. But at higher sea levels, tsunamis with similar characteristics could pose a threat to such terrestrial habitats and wildlife. To visualize projected impacts to vegetation composition, wildlife habitat, and wildlife populations, we explored and analyzed inundation vulnerability for a range of possible sea level rise and tsunami scenarios at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Studying the combined threat of tsunamis and sea level rise can provide more accurate and comprehensive assessments of the vulnerability of the unique natural resources on low-lying islands. A passive sea level rise model was used to determine how much inundation will occur at different sea level rise values for the three islands of Midway Atoll and each scenario was coupled with NOAA Center for Tsunami Research's tsunami forecasting tool. The tsunami forecasting tool was used to generate tsunami scenarios from different source regions and served as boundary conditions for inundation models to project the coastal impact at Midway Atoll. Underlying the tsunami forecast tool is a database of pre-computed tsunami propagation runs for discrete sections of the earth's subduction zones that are the principal locus of tsunami-generating activity. The new LiDAR topographic data, which is the first high resolution elevation data for three individual islands of Midway Atoll, was used for both the passive sea level rise model and inundation model for Midway Atoll.

Using a combined CTD/Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorder (MAPR) package we occupied 208 vertical casts and 82 tows along seven segments of the CIR totaling approximately 700 km of ridge length to estimate the frequency of hydrothermal activity on this slow-spreading ridge. Evidence for hydrothermal activity was found on each of the seven segments, with most plumes found between 3000 and 3500 m. Using only stations within the rift valley, the estimated value of plume incidence (ph=0.19) coincides with the global trend between the spatial density of hydrothermal plumes and full-spreading rate (an indicator of magmatic budget). However, there are also indications of possible discharge from hydrothermal activity or serpentinization from the ridge flanks (possible ocean core complexes), as has been observed along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. For example, some sites show methane anomalies unaccompanied by any optical anomaly. Our preliminary results support the increasing role of tectonic control on hydrothermal activity as spreading rates decrease. Further examination of the plume signals, combined with chemical composition of sampled water and geological data, will provide valuable insights into hydrothermal activity on slow spreading ridges.

In 2008 two active submarine volcanic eruptions were discovered during a one week period and subsequent dives with the Jason remotely operated vehicle at one of the sites (West Mata) revealed an active boninite eruption taking place at 1200 m depth. Two dives at the other revealed evidence for recent eruption along the NE Lau Spreading Center. Several more expeditions in 2010-11 discovered additional evidence about the extent and types of hydrothermal activity in this area. Data from CTDO (conductivity, temperature, depth, optical) vertical casts, tow-yos, and towed camera deployments revealed more than 15 hydrothermal sites at water depths from approximately 800 to 2700 m that include sites from the magmatic arc, the "rear arc," and the back arc spreading centers. These sites range from high temperature black smoker sulfide-producing systems to those dominated by magmatic degassing. Dives by remotely operated vehicle (Quest 4000) in September 2012 will explore these sites and return samples for chemical, biological and geologic studies. One of the dives will be a return visit to West Mata volcano, the site of the deepest submarine eruption yet observed (in 2009). Recent multibeam data reveal large changes in West Mata's summit, suggesting that the nature of the eruption and the location of the erupting vents may have changed. In addition to the preliminary results from the science team, we will also discuss our use and experience with continuous live video transmission (through the High Definition video camera on the Quest 4000) back to shore via satellite and through the internet.

Four sites within a 45 km by 25 km rectangle centered at 27 degrees 41'26.92"N, 91 degrees 28'4.26"W in the Green Canyon seafloor leasing area were the initial sites confirmed as seep systems by direct observation using the submersible Johnson SeaLink. Hydrocarbon gas venting at these sites ranged from small volume intermittent flow to continuous bubble plumes. The points of emergence ranged from consolidated sediment in mineral-prone environments to fluid muds and brine. The latter two fluid-prone environments represented an active and a quiescent expulsion features. The NOAA Okeanos Explorer Program 2012 expedition 1203 carried out multibeam mapping of this region 6-8 May using both a Konsberg EM 302 288 beam system and a Simrad EK60 scientific echo sounder. Returns from both systems were processed for water column signals. More than 75 indications of bubble plumes were observed representing one of the highest densities as well as magnitudes of individual plumes found to date in the Gulf of Mexico. The plumes were aggregated on the flanks of salt diapirs, ridges between salt-withdrawal basins and areas of multiple slope failures. Correlation with observations begun in the 1980's is good indicating long-term venting. Previous research on gas mix and isotopic content indicated a regionally complex pattern of biogenic and thermogenic methane sources.

S. Geological Survey (USGS) is one of four primary organizations (along with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and NatureServe) responsible for the development of the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) over the past decade. In June 2012 the Federal Geographic Data Committee approved CMECS as the first-ever comprehensive federal standard for classifying and describing coastal and marine ecosystems. The USGS has pioneered the application of CMECS in Glacier Bay, Alaska as part of its Seafloor Mapping and Benthic Habitat Studies Project. This presentation briefly describes the standard and its application as part of geological survey studies in the Western Arm of Glacier Bay. CMECS offers a simple, standard framework and common terminology for describing natural and human influenced ecosystems from the upper tidal reaches of estuaries to the deepest portions of the ocean. The framework is organized into two settings, biogeographic and aquatic, and four components, water column, geoform, substrate, and biotic. Each describes a separate aspect of the environment and biota. Settings and components can be used in combination or independently to describe ecosystem features. The hierarchical arrangement of units of the settings and components allows users to apply CMECS to the scale and specificity that best suits their needs. Modifiers allow users to customize the classification to meet specific needs. Biotopes can be described when there is a need for more detailed information on the biota and their environment. USGS efforts focused primarily on the substrate and geoform components. Previous research has demonstrated three classes of bottom type that can be derived from multibeam data that in part determine the distribution of benthic organisms: soft, flat bottom, mixed bottom including coarse sediment and low-relief rock with low to moderate rugosity, and rugose, hard bottom. The West Arm of Glacier Bay has all of these habitats, with the greatest abundance being soft, flat bottom. In Glacier Bay, species associated with soft, flat bottom habitats include gastropods, algae, flatfish, Tanner crabs, shrimp, sea pen, and other crustaceans; soft corals and sponge dominate areas of boulder and rock substrate. Video observations in the West Arm suggest that geological-biological associations found in central Glacier Bay to be at least partially analogous to associations in the West Arm. Given that soft, mud substrate is the most prevalent habitat in the West Arm, it is expected that the species associated with a soft bottom in the bay proper are the most abundant types of species within the West Arm. While mud is the dominant substrate throughout the fjord, the upper and lower West Arm are potentially very different environments due to the spatially and temporally heterogeneous influence of glaciation and associated effects on fjord hydrologic and oceanographic conditions. Therefore, we expect variations in the distribution of species and the development of biotopes for Glacier Bay will require data applicable to the full spectrum of CMECS components.

Seafloor seismic activity in this region occurs along the spreading center and transform boundaries between the Juan de Fuca, Pacific and North American plates. During the time span, from 1991 through 2011, nearly 50,000 earthquakes were detected and located. The majority of these events were associated with these tectonic boundaries but sections of several plate boundaries were largely aseismic during the this time span. While most of the earthquakes were associated with geological structures revealed in bathymetric maps of the region, there were also less easily explained intraplate events including a swarm of events within the interior of the southern portion of the Juan de Fuca plate. The location and sequential timing of events on portions of the plate boundaries also suggests ordered patterns of stress release. Among the most scientifically significant outcomes of acoustic monitoring was the discovery that deep seafloor magmatic activity can be accompanied by intense (>1000 events/day) earthquake swarms. The first swarm detected by SOSUS, in 1993, was confirmed to have been associated with an extrusive volcanic eruption which occurred along a segment of the Juan de Fuca spreading center. Notably, this was the first deep spreading center eruption detected, located, and studied while it was active. Subsequently, two more swarms were confirmed to have been associated with volcanic eruptions, one on the Gorda spreading center in 1996 and the other at Axial volcano in 1998. One characteristic of these swarm events is migration of their earthquake locations 10s of km along the ridge axis tracking the movement of magma down-rift. The most rapid magma propagation events have been shown to be associated with seafloor eruptions and dramatic, transient changes in hydrothermal circulation as well as discharges of large volumes of hot water, i.e., megaplumes. Hydroacoustic monitoring using SOSUS, and now augmented with hydrophones deployed on stationary moorings as well as mobile platforms (e.g. gliders), provides a unique means for gaining knowledge concerning a broad diversity of present-day topics of scientific importance including, sources and fate of carbon in the deep ocean, deep ocean micro- and macro-ecosystems, and changes in ocean ambient noise levels.

These data were collected in partnership by an international community and provide a historic opportunity to characterize a tsunami in both space and time. Analyses of bottom pressure recorder time series at more than 30 deep ocean locations indicate a difference in the decay rate of high versus low wave packet frequency components during basin wide propagation of the tsunami. Investigation of tsunami arrival at each deep-ocean site highlights the role filtering techniques may play in masking either a leading trough or peak. More than 350 coastal water level records show regions of signal attenuation and amplification due to refraction, reflection, and bathymetric focusing. The location of a coastal water level station either along an open coast or within a protected harbor is a coarse predictor for these non-linearities.

A key component of this effort is easy access to authoritative data on past tsunamis, a responsibility of the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) and collocated World Service for Geophysics. Archive responsibilities include the global historical tsunami database, coastal tide-gauge data from US/NOAA operated stations, the Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART (super R) ) data, damage photos, as well as other related hazards data. Taken together, this integrated archive supports tsunami forecast, warning, research, mitigation and education efforts of NOAA and the Nation. Understanding the severity and timing of tsunami effects is important for tsunami hazard mitigation and warning. The global historical tsunami database includes the date, time, and location of the source event, magnitude of the source, event validity, maximum wave height, the total number of fatalities and dollar damage. The database contains additional information on run-ups (locations where tsunami waves were observed by eyewitnesses, field reconnaissance surveys, tide gauges, or deep ocean sensors). The run-up table includes arrival times, distance from the source, measurement type, maximum wave height, and the number of fatalities and damage for the specific run-up location. Tide gauge data are required for modeling the interaction of tsunami waves with the coast and for verifying propagation and inundation models. NGDC is the long-term archive for all NOAA coastal tide gauge data and is currently archiving 15-second to 1-minute water level data from the NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) and the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers. DART (sub R) buoys, which are essential components of tsunami warning systems, are now deployed in all oceans, giving coastal communities faster and more accurate tsunami warnings. NOAA's National Data Buoy Center disseminates real-time DART (super R) data and NGDC processes and archives post-event 15-second high-resolution bottom pressure time series data. An event-specific archive of DART (super R) observations recorded during recent significant tsunamis, including the March 2011 Tohoku, Japan event, are now available through new tsunami event pages integrated with the NGDC global historical tsunami database. These pages are developed to deliver comprehensive summaries of each tsunami event, including socio-economic impacts, tsunami travel time maps, raw observations, de-tided residuals, spectra of the tsunami signal compared to the energy of the background noise, and wavelets. These data are invaluable to tsunami researchers and educators as they are essential to providing a more thorough understanding of tsunamis and their propagation in the open ocean and subsequent inundation of coastal communities. NGDC has collected 289 tide gauge observations, 34 Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART (super R) ) and bottom pressure recorder (BPR) station observations, and over 5,000 eyewitness reports and post-tsunami field survey measurements for the 2011 Tohoku event.

In particular, it was clearly recorded at eight US and Canadian tide gauge stations in the Salish Sea, a collective term for the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, Strait of Georgia, and related waters. The Juan de Fuca strait has a shape of a straight channel of a nearly constant (22-23 km) width for most of its length, especially for about its fist 50 km from the ocean. Thus the ocean input is essentially a plane wave propagating in the direction of the channel. There is an NOS tide gauge station in Neah Bay, right at the strait entrance from the ocean. Thus the Salish Sea represents a natural laboratory to test a tsunami model, with a measurable input and multiple observations along 300 km long wave path. Benchmarking/validation of tsunami models is a necessary element of numerical modeling of tsunamis. Laboratory benchmarks allow to test a model against known input and output, but have a disadvantage of being only simplified, greatly down-scaled copies of the real world. Field benchmarks allow to test a model in the real-wold settings, but rarely supply all the necessary data. In particular, the input to the model remains unknown to some extent. In this context, the 2011 East Japan tsunami propagation in the Salish Sea represents a field benchmark with the data quality of a lab one. The tsunami propagation in the Salish Sea, coupled with tide, was simulated with the MOST model. The 2-day-long input into the model was read from the Neah Bay tide gauge. The model results were compared with the observations at the locations. The agreement between the simulations and observations over the entire wave train is better the longer the wavelength, being very good for the tidal component and longer-period tsunami components. Some conclusions were made about patterns of wave penetration into the Salish Sea, for different wavelengths.

Northern California is susceptible to both near- and far-field tsunamis and has a historic record of damaging events. Crescent City Harbor, located approximately 100 km north of Humboldt Bay, suffered US $20 million in damages from strong currents produced by the 2006 Kuril Islands tsunami and an additional US $20 million from the 2011 Japan tsunami. In order to better evaluate these currents in northern California, we deployed a Nortek Aquadopp 600 kHz 2D Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) with a one-minute sampling interval in Humboldt Bay, near the existing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) tide gauge station. The instrument recorded the tsunamis produced by the Mw 8.8 Chile earthquake on February 27, 2010 and the Mw 9.0 Japan earthquake on March 11, 2011. Currents from the 2010 tsunami persisted in Humboldt Bay for at least 30 hours with peak amplitudes of about 0.3 meters per second (m/s). The 2011 tsunami signal lasted for over 86 hours with peak amplitude of 0.95 m/s. Strongest currents corresponded to the maximum change in water level as recorded on the NOAA NOS tide gauge, and occurred 90 minutes after the initial wave arrival. No damage was observed in Humboldt Bay for either event. In Crescent City, currents for the first three and a half hours of the 2011 Japan tsunami were estimated using security camera video footage from the Harbor Master building across from the entrance to the small boat basin, approximately 70 meters away from the NOAA NOS tide gauge station. The largest amplitude tide gauge water-level oscillations and most of the damage occurred within this time window. The currents reached a velocity of approximately 4.5 m/s and six cycles exceeded 3 m/s during this period. Measured current velocities both in Humboldt Bay and in Crescent City were compared to calculated velocities from the Method of Splitting Tsunamis (MOST) numerical model. For Humboldt Bay, the 2010 model tsunami frequencies matched the actual values for the first two hours after the initial arrival however the amplitudes were underestimated by approximately 65%. MOST replicated the first four hours of the 2011 tsunami signal in Humboldt Bay quite well although the peak flood currents were underestimated by about 50%. MOST predicted attenuation of the signal after four hours but the actual signal persisted at a nearly constant level for more than 48 hours. In Crescent City, the model prediction of the 2011 frequency agreed quite well with the observed signal for the first two and a half hours after the initial arrival with a 50% underestimation of the peak amplitude. The results from this project demonstrate that ADCPs can effectively record tsunami currents for small to moderate events and can be used to calibrate and validate models (i.e. MOST) in order to better predict hazardous tsunami conditions and improve planned responses to protect lives and property, especially within harbors. An ADCP will be installed in Crescent City Harbor and four additional ADCPs are being deployed in Humboldt Bay during the fall of 2012.

The initial system has been recently developed into a real-time global hydrological extreme monitoring system called DFL-MaP (Drought-Flood-Landslide Mapping and Prediction System), displayed at http://eos.ou.edu. On the water excess side, the system detects storm-triggered floods and landslides, and on the water deficit side, it maps precipitation-based meteorological drought (SPI), streamflow-based hydrological drought (SRI), and plant-available, soil-moisture-based agricultural drought (Soil Moisture). The DFL-MaP system directly addresses the first objective of Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS): Enabling the use of Earth observations and predictive models for timely disaster decision making to benefit society. Challenges and opportunities will also be discussed in this talk.

AN - 1629945791; 2014-095618 AB - Glaciers significantly modify streamflow both in quantity and timing, even with low percentages of catchment ice cover. Glaciers cover roughly 90,000 km2 in Alaska and have been thinning and retreating during the last decades dramatically, recently at an accelerating rate. These changes will have profound effects on river runoff quantity, seasonality and peak flows in Alaskan drainage basins. Characteristics of glacier discharge include pronounced melt-induced diurnal cyclicity and a concentration of annual runoff during the melt season. Annual runoff from a glacierized basin is a function of glacier mass balance, with years of negative balance producing more runoff than years of positive balance. As climate changes and causes glacier mass balances to become progressively more negative, total glacier runoff will initially increase followed by a reduction in runoff totals as the glaciers retreat. With high percentage of ice cover the initial increase in runoff can be substantial, considerably exceeding the runoff changes to be expected from any other component of the water budget. However in the long term the loss of ice will lead to lower watershed yields of water. Despite their significant glaciers are often only crudely represented in hydrological models. We investigate the effect of future climate change on glacier melt and runoff of several basins in the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. Glacierized areas within these basins range from 6 to 122 km2, Meteorological and discharge data for all four outlet streams are available since 1965, with some records extending back to 1951. A temperature-index model including potential direct solar radiation is calibrated for each glacier based on recent mass balance and discharge data. Discharge is modeled using a linear-reservoir approach. We test various parameterizations to account for glacier retreat in response to volume changes. Future scenario RCP6.0 CCSM4 simulations are downscaled to 5-10 km resolution over the study area with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Results indicate a substantial loss in glacier area and an increase in glacier discharge until 2100, however, results are highly sensitive to the way glacier retreat is parameterized, indicating the importance of modeling accurately glacier retreat and thinning in addition to glacier mass balance.

Its chemistry results in additional indirect climate effects from production of tropospheric O (sub 3) , which also affects air quality, and stratospheric H (sub 2) O. Because methane's atmospheric lifetime is relatively short ( nearly equal 9 yr) and nearly equal 70% of its emissions are anthropogenic, reductions in its emissions provide a potential cost-effective opportunity to slow the rate of increase of radiative forcing. Some fraction of decreased anthropogenic emissions may be canceled by potentially strong feed-backs to natural emissions. Because natural emissions of CH (sub 4) are diffuse, relatively weak, and highly-variable in space and time, quantifying changes for large spatial regions is difficult from small-scale field studies alone. Atmosphere observations at well-chosen sites integrate these emissions over large zonal regions and can be particularly useful for detecting changes in emissions. Paleo-climate studies indicate that CH (sub 4) emissions from Arctic wetlands are sensitive to climate and may provide a strong positive feedback as the Arctic warms. Measurements of atmospheric CH (sub 4) from the NOAA Global Monitoring Division's, Global Cooperative Air Sampling Network began in 1983. These high-precision observations offer key constraints on changes in Arctic CH (sub 4) emissions. During 2007, the CH (sub 4) growth rate increased in the Arctic, but was nearly zero during 2008. Use of the data in a chemical transport model suggest anomalous emissions of about 2 Tg CH (sub 4) during 2007, but returning to long-term average emissions after that. Another potential source affected by climate is emissions from methane clathrates. Measurements of methane's isotopic composition in the Arctic have been useful in showing that CH (sub 4) enhancements in Arctic air result from wetlands, not clathrates. Both potential sources are also constrained by spatial patterns in observed CH (sub 4) , which indicate that, so far, changes in emissions of Arctic CH (sub 4) over the past 2 decades are less than nearly equal 2 Tg CH (sub 4) yr (super -1) .

The main driver of meander migration is the flow field which erodes the outer bank of river bends, scours pools, creates topographic variability on the floodplain and interacts with riparian vegetation. Flows between channels and floodplains are generally thought to be highly three-dimensional due to the presence of secondary circulation cells and helical flow patterns observed in laboratory experiments, yet few field datasets exist to test or validate existing conceptual models. Flow over and through floodplain vegetation has also been difficult to characterize at the field scale. We took advantage of a remarkably long and stable 5-year flood discharge to measure flow fields across the floodplain and in curved reaches of the gravel-bed Merced River In California to document the hydraulic interactions between the channel and floodplain. We then developed, calibrated and validated a quasi-3D hydrodynamic model of the flows in order to expand the interpretation of the results. Due to the spatial variability in both topography and flow resistance, the modeling required detailed mapping of the channel-floodplain surface and vegetation with a terrestrial LiDAR scanner and RTK GPS units. The results highlight several general aspects of the channel-floodplain flow during an overbank flow event: (1) the flow field in the channel was largely two-dimensional with only weak helical flow patterns; (2) the highest channel velocities and boundary shear stresses occurred at the local maxima in bend curvature where lateral migration has been documented via repeat topographic surveys; (3) flow velocities rapidly decelerated as water was decanted from the channel onto the floodplain where the velocity magnitude was roughly 20-30% of the average channel velocity; (4) dense vegetation along the channel margins enhanced channel velocities but reduced them on the floodplain, while floodplain areas with sparser riparian vegetation were subject to higher erosive forces where chutes are beginning to form. The modeling approach used here provides a means of anticipating patterns of flow and vegetation density after floodplain management, and for investigating feedbacks between flow, vegetation and topography during the longer-term development of channel and floodplain complexity.

Scientific research, mitigation, and forecasting rely on visual data for risk analysis, inundation mapping and historic records. Instrumental data only reveal a portion of the whole story; photographs explicitly illustrate the physical and societal impacts from the event. Visual data is rapidly increasing as the availability of portable high resolution cameras and video recorders becomes more attainable. Incorporating these data into archives ensures a more complete historical account of events. Integrating natural hazards data, such as tsunami, earthquake and volcanic eruption events, socio-economic information, and tsunami deposits and runups along with images and photographs enhances event comprehension. Global historic databases at NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) consolidate these data, providing the user with easy access to a network of information. NGDC's Natural Hazards Image Database (ngdc.noaa.gov/hazardimages) was recently improved to provide a more efficient and dynamic user interface. It uses the Google Maps API and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) to provide geographic context to the images and events. Descriptive tags, or keywords, have been applied to each image, enabling easier navigation and discovery. In addition, the Natural Hazards Map Viewer (maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/hazards) provides the ability to search and browse data layers on a Mercator-projection globe with a variety of map backgrounds. This combination of features creates a simple and effective way to enhance our understanding of hazard events and risks using imagery.

Inherent errors and biases in NAVD 88 have been demonstrated through comparison with the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite gravity. In response, NGS launched the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) project in 2008 to replace NAVD88 with a more accurate, gravitationally-based vertical datum by 2022. The goal of the project is to make orthometric heights available to the user community through GNSS measurement that is accurate to 2 cm. GRAV-D's primary thrust involves collecting medium-resolution airborne gravity data over the entire U.S and its territories. Each survey spans approximately a 400 km X 500 km region, large enough for spectral blending with GRACE and GOCE data while the 20 km resolution allows for the evaluation of and spectral blending with surface gravity (terrestrial and marine). Regions are surveyed in the order based upon expected impacts, and the new official datum will be released at the end of the project. Top priorities include Alaska, the Great Lakes, and coastal CONUS. Height changes in these areas may be significant, depending on the application. One major consideration is how changing the datum will affect the diverse fields that use the NSRS. An analysis of one application, floodplain mapping, provided a number of insights into what areas may be more or less affected. The study, The Effects of Modernizing the National Datums on Floodplain Mapping, examined a riverine flood model for a stream in North Carolina and analyzed how products, including the floodplain, would change as a result of the coordinate shift. Data were transformed to proxy datums, which were the most recent available horizontal and vertical datum. The original and transformed data were run through the same processes to evaluate changes. For the floodplain mapping process an automated mapping process was used to remove engineering judgment. The effect of the datum improvement on the floodplain was minimal given that the relative heights were not significantly changed despite a 0.83 meter horizontal and -0.30 meter vertical shift. Areas with high quality data, such as LiDAR, were more significantly affected than were other regions. The improved datum in coastal regions from the GRAV-D project is expected to substantially improve inundation modeling, especially in low-lying areas.

At the same time, such gravimetric geoid models are tested and verified through comparisons with independent data, such as GPS/Leveling [GPSL] data. As part of its efforts to move the United States and its territories to a geoid-based vertical height system by 2020, the National Geodetic Survey will be working with both satellite gravity, and GPSL information, to compute the most accurate gravimetric geoid model from the available data. In this study, we seek to achieve something of a cross-validation between these two complimentary data types. Specifically, we compare various GOCE-/GRACE-based gravity models with latest NGS GPSL data over the Contiguous United States [CONUS]. EGM2008 is included in these comparisons. For meaningful 'degree (n) -wise' analysis over non-global (regional) extent, one approach which has proven useful is to first create a 'hybrid' Earth Gravitational Model [EGM] which is supported solely by the NGS GPSL inside CONUS, and by an average of the GOCE-/GRACE-based gravity models everywhere else. Careful treatment of this hybrid EGM yields, inside CONUS, degree-wise discrepancies between the GPSL and the various gravity models. These degree-wise discrepancies, in turn, provide insight into the regional error spectrum for each of the gravity models tested, thereby informing the final combination of satellite gravity with terrestrial- and airborne- gravimetry to yield an optimal gravimetric geoid model. Early results from this work are presented. Statewide biases and tilts in the NGS GPSL are also considered and discussed.

This paper particularly focuses on developments leading to a new vertical datum to replace the existing North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). This new model will be developed from a combination of satellite, airborne, and terrestrial gravity data to define a gravimetric geoid height model. In particular, the aerogravity data collected as a part o the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) Project are intended to help achieve the goal of a cm-level accurate geoid model to serve as the new vertical datum. The different data sources have been melded into a single gravity field model consistent across the entire spectrum to about 2 km resolution. A previous comparison developed a localized model over just the southern Texas region, where the Geoid Slope Validation Study for 2011 (GSVS 11) demonstrated that it was possible to achieve the desired accuracy. This new model was developed using methodology consistent at regional to national scales following techniques used to make USGG2009 and USGG2012, but now incorporating aerogravity. This new model proves out the basic concepts behind GRAV-D in that the aeorgravity bridge the spectral gap between satellite and terrestrial data and provide the requisite improvements to the derived gravimetric geoid height model - all without artificially targeting a solution to a specific test area. Additional comparisons were made to tidal bench mark data observed by GPS in combination with ocean topography models to validate the behavior of the model in the coastal regions.

By 2020, NGS intends that all orthometric heights in the USA will be determined in the field by using a reliable national geoid model to transform from geodetic heights obtained from GPS. Through their Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum [GRAV-D] program, NGS is updating its terrestrial gravimetry holdings by flying new airborne gravity surveys over a large fraction of the USA and its territories. Also important are the latest satellite-based models from the GRACE and GOCE missions, which are expected to provide much of the long-wavelength structure of the geoid model. In this study, we examine the gravimetry from a 2008 airborne campaign over the region surrounding the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. For the longer (n=2-250) wavelengths, three-way comparisons between satellite gravity models, EGM2008, and the airborne gravimetry, point to likely deficiencies in the EGM2008 geoid in this region. Supporting these analyses, inspection of the discrepancies between the airborne gravimetry and EGM2008 reveals that medium-scale (n=200-720) features defined across adjacent airborne tracks are geographically co-located with gaps in the terrestrial data which supported EGM2008. Lastly, we observe many areas in which the airborne gravimetry is validating much of the 'higher'-resolution information (n=720-1440) in EGM2008, thereby confirming the capability of this data type to contribute to geoid models in this spectral band. This is also the case in areas where EGM2008 is unsupported by terrestrial gravimetry, providing unexpectedly good agreement between the airborne gravimetry and Residual Terrain Models used for EGM2008.

It is featured by the two highest mountains in North America, Mount McKinely (20,320 ft) in Alaska, USA and Mount Logan (19,541 ft) in Yukon, Canada, along with the Alaska trench along the plate boundaries. On the one hand this complex geology gives rise to large horizontal geoid gradients across this area. On the other hand geoid time variation is much stronger than most of the other areas in the world due to tectonic movement, the post glacial rebound and ice melting effects in this region. This type of geology poses great challenges for the determination of North American geoid over this area, which demands proper gravity data coverage in both space and time on both the Alaska and Yukon sides. However, the coverage of the local gravity data is inhomogenous in this area. The terrestrial gravity is sparse in Alaska, and spans a century in time. In contrast, the terrestrial gravity is relatively well-distributed in Yukon but with data gaps. In this paper, various new satellite models along with the newly acquired airborne data will be incorporated to augment the middle-to-long wavelength geoid components. Initial tests show clear geoid improvements at the local GPS benchmarks in the Yukon area after crustal motion is accounted for. Similar approaches will be employed on the Alaska side for a better validation to determine a continuous vertical datum across US and Canada.

Over the past decade, we have been monitoring a variety of ecosystem attributes in the Elwha River basin to establish baseline conditions prior to one of the largest watershed restoration projects in the US. Our study design is tailored to the Elwha's geomorphic template, as different channel types are expected to respond differently to the large amount of sediment that will be released. A primary focus of this effort has been on the 28 km of floodplain channels below the dams (for every 1 km of main stem habitat there is 1.35 km of floodplain channel). Another focus has been on main stem channel features such as pool and riffle habitat, which are critical habitats for salmonids and other biota. How will these floodplain channels and mainstem channel features react to the large amount of sediment that is being released? We have used simple field techniques such as longitudinal profiles of floodplain channels, pebble counts, turbidity measurements, and the amount of sediment accumulation in pools and riffles to document baseline as well as "during dam removal" conditions. Early results indicate increased turbidity downstream of dams throughout deconstruction, suggesting there will be dramatic increases in fine sediment accumulations once dam removal is completed. We plan to continue using inexpensive methods to quantify the geomorphic and ecological change following dam removal in the Elwha River basin. These findings have direct implications for other dam removal projects.

Climate change has been shown to have a global correlation with decreased snow cover in high latitudes. In the current research station and satellite data were used to detect the location of permafrost. Permafrost is dependent on the temperature of the ground surface. Air temperature and snow cover from Integrated Surface Database (ISD) downloaded from National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) were observed for six consecutive years (1999-2004). The research was carried out over the entire globe to study the trend between fluctuating temperature and snow cover. Number of days with temperature below zero (freezing) and above zero (melting) was counted over a 6-year period. It was observed that each year the area of ice cover decreased by 0.3% in the Northern Hemisphere; a 1% increase in air temperature was also observed. Furthermore, the results from station data for snow cover and air temperature were compared with the snow cover and skin temperature from the satellite data. The skin temperature was retrieved from infrared (IR) radiance at International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the snow cover is derived from visible satellite data at The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Both dataset projected that the higher latitudes had the highest number of days with temperature below zero degree Celsius and these locations will be able to house permafrost. In order to improve the data quality as well as for more accurate results, in the future ISD data and satellite skin temperature will be analyzed for longer period of time (1979-2011) and (1983-2007) respectively also, two additional station data will be studied. The two datasets for future studies are Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA) and International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS). The results outputted by these three stations will be further compared with available permafrost datasets.

The coupling of bed texture and sediment transport at relevant scales is a particularly difficult process to represent, as some aspects are driven by grain to grain interactions. Field studies can somewhat address this challenge by mapping event-driven textural conditions to characterize the range of responses under prevailing conditions, thereby capturing the statistical tendencies of the system. We have applied this approach within a small, supply-rich riffle-pool stream over three winter seasons in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. During the investigation discharge was continuously monitored at a semi-permanent gaging station, and bedload and suspended load sediment discharge were measured during every mobilizing storm. Immediately following each sediment mobilizing event we measured the fractional volume of pools filled with fines (V*), mapped riffle texture (sampling frame and template procedure), and measured cross-sectional and longitudinal topography. Thus far we have collected relevant data for eleven different sediment mobilizing events representing a wide range of hydrologic conditions. Preliminary results indicate that bed texture is consistently finer than the subsurface material, yet surprisingly quite varied from storm to storm. Using descriptive statistics we will demonstrate that V* and riffle texture changed with each sediment mobilizing event, and with little apparent similarity in trend for riffle and pool pairs. To explore possible explanations for observed conditions we will compare event-driven riffle and pool texture to the associated flow and sediment regimes, including the fractional volumes of transported bedload. Spatially-oriented comparisons will also be made for riffles using texture maps to estimate apparent levels of bed mobility from event to event. Use of this later approach in conjunction with fractional bedload data may prove illustrative.

SETTING: Anegada is 120 km south of the Puerto Rico Trench and 200 km east-northeast of San Juan. It is fringed on the north and east by a coral reef 100-1200 m offshore; founded on Pleistocene carbonate with a cemented cap; rimmed on much of its perimeter by sandy Holocene beach ridges; and bermed with coral-rubble on a rocky stretch of its north shore. CORAL BOULDERS: Scores of coral heads up to 2 m in diameter were moved across the north shore in medieval time. Some crossed the line of the modern storm berm, continued over a limestone rise 4 m above sea level, and came to rest on lower ground hundreds of meters farther south. Others traversed beach ridges, and two of these boulders are now 1.5 km from the fringing reef. Most of the boulders are Diploria strigosa, an endemic of reef flanks. Some retain enough of their originally rounded, dimpled shape to have been deposited live. The likely time of emplacement of freshly dislodged, still-living heads is AD 1200-1450. This range is based on radiocarbon dating of outer growth bands of 18 heads from 5 separate areas. The youngest of the ages is 890+ or -25 14C yr BP, and the Delta R assumed is 0 to -200 14C yr. CALIBRATION TO A FAR-FIELD TSUNAMI: Deposits dated to 1650-1800 at Anegada represent either the largest known far-field tsunami in the Caribbean (1755 Lisbon) or some other tsunami or unusual storm that surpassed the Lisbon tsunami in its local geologic effects. The water cut or freshened breaches in north-shore beach ridges and poured into a marine pond, where it moved limestone boulders and laid down a sheet of sand and shell that extends as much as 1.5 km inland [refs 1-4]. Many of the limestone boulders were probably inherited from the higher, earlier overwash that created the coral-boulder fields. We had expected the coral boulders to date from 1650-1800, but instead obtained only the pre-Columbus ages cited above. CALIBRATION TO HURRICANES: Hurricanes Donna (1960) and Earl (2010) rank below the 1650-1800 overwash in their Anegada effects. Their coarse deposits are limited to sandy spillover fans that extend a few tens of meters inland from the south shore, where Anegada is most vulnerable to storm surge, and to the coral-rubble berm on the north shore, where the medieval overwash ran hundreds of meters farther inland. Both Donna and Earl approached or attained category 4 as their eyes passed within 35 km of the island. If a larger hurricane managed to produce the inland fields of scattered coral boulders, the coral ages limit this perfect storm to pre-Columbus time. NEARBY TSUNAMI SOURCES. The likely source is a belt of normal faults scarps on the outer rise 200 km to Anegada's north. A giant thrust earthquake on the North America-Caribbean Plate boundary is unlikely according to a GPS-based model of interplate coupling [5]. No submarine slides are apparent in multibeam bathymetry of the submarine slope that descends northward from Anegada's fringing reef to the Puerto Rico Trench floor [6).

Understanding the history of water availability and storminess in western North America is imperative to better anticipate the impacts of future climate change in this water-stressed region. Proxy records and climate models suggest that water availability in this region varied substantially during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. However, the spatial and temporal patterns of this variability as well as the mechanisms behind it remain poorly constrained. Here we present a comparison of speleothem-based paleoclimate proxy records from Moaning Cave, central Sierra Nevada, California with results from a transient simulation of the climate evolution from the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka) to the early Holocene (10 ka) carried out using the coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model, the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3). With realistic time-varying boundary conditions and forcings, the model successfully simulates the deglacial climate evolution of the North Atlantic region, including the collapse of AMOC. Records of stable isotope (delta (super 18) O and delta (super 13) C) and trace element concentration (Mg, Sr) variations in the Moaning Cave speleothem suggest drier and warmer conditions above the cave during past Northern Hemisphere warm periods and wetter and colder conditions during past Northern Hemisphere cold periods between 8.7 and 16.7 ka. Two discrete time slices representing the maximum (during the Bolling, 14.37 ka) and minimum (during the Younger-Dryas, 12.2 ka) stable isotope values observed during this time interval in the Moaning Cave record (and thus potentially the driest and wettest conditions above the cave, respectively) were selected, regridded to a higher resolution (T85; 1.4 degrees atmosphere) and run for short time slices (15-20 years) using the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM), which incorporates sea surface temperature from the low resolution coupled run. Using the tools developed by the MAP Climatology of Mid-latitude Storminess (MCMS) project, sea level pressure data generated by these high-resolution model runs were investigated to identify variations in storm tracks and cyclone density in the North Pacific between the two time periods. Initial results indicate a slight increase in winter storms in central and southern California during the Younger Dryas and a marked increase in winter storms in the Gulf of Alaska during the Bolling. The model also suggests that California saw a significant increase in summer storms during the Younger Dryas, which may have led to a longer growing season above Moaning Cave due to increased soil moisture as well as more continuous calcite precipitation within the cave throughout the year.

This region experiences large fluctuations in precipitation and temperature due to interannual oscillations in the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Chuuk Atoll (7 degrees N, 152 degrees E) is centrally located within the Warm Pool and provides an ideal location for studies of WPWP processes. Massive mounding corals have shown to be one of the best paleoclimate proxies, especially in warm, tropical regions because they have the powerful advantage of recording environmental changes in the seawater in which they are growing in their aragonitic skeletons. In addition, they grow relatively quickly in comparison to other marine calcifiers, providing the opportunity to make high-resolution (monthly or better) measurements. Determining the geochemical properties (delta 18O, delta 13C, Sr/Ca) of the calcium carbonate coral skeletons allows us to reconstruct past oceanic environmental conditions. Using the combination of stable isotope analyses and Sr/Ca measurements of the coral skeletal material, corals greatly contribute to a longer ocean observation record than is available through just the modern instrumental record. Cores from large Porites lobata coral heads were collected from Chuuk Atoll in June 2011 and have undergone stable isotope (delta 18O, delta 13C) and trace element (Sr/Ca) analysis. The KIOST (former KORDI) tropical marine station at Chuuk has been collecting temperature and salinity records for the past several years, making the calibration of geochemical data to temperature or salinity measurements much more accurate than simply using low-resolution model variables. Results covering the last 20 years indicate small annual temperature variations and large deviations in oxygen isotope values corresponding to El Nino years. Results will also be compared to a Porites coral core collected in 2008 (Lee et al.).

For example, the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland resulted in the largest air-traffic shutdown since World War II. More than 100,000 flights were grounded, stranding passengers in Europe and across the globe, and producing a multi-billion dollar economic impact. Because of the high impact on aviation, sophisticated tools are needed to provide real-time alerts, tracking, and forecasting of volcanic clouds. In an attempt address the 5-minute volcanic cloud warning criteria established by the international aviation community, an automated volcanic cloud alert system for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite - R Series (GOES-R) built upon the automated ash cloud alert system for the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is in development. The new system will be capable of identifying ash and SO2 clouds with greater accuracy. One component of GOES-R will be a lightning mapper. To study the temporal, spatial, and physical relationships between ash clouds and lightning, and the utility of lightning detection in a real-time alert system, we analyze data collected by the Lightning Mapping Array, a ground-based lightning detection network, in conjunction with satellite data gathered by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) instrument aboard Meteosat-9 during in the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano. We correlate lightning characteristics, intensity, and distribution with plume location, height, mass loading, and effective particle radius. Lightning mapping in volcanic ash clouds potentially will allow for better characterization of the ash cloud and aid in forecasting the distribution of ash and its effects on aviation.

The models were forced with historical and future projections of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) of radiatively active gases as part of the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. We describe the geographical and vertical extent of ocean acidification in these models, finding approximately 10% more rapid CO2 uptake in the z-coordinate ESM2M than isopycnal ESM2G attributable to differences in their baseline thermocline structure and resulting excess alkalinity. The circulation response to climate forcing, however, is found to be extremely similar between these models as reduction in overturning circulation leads to diminished tropical upwelling and corresponding redistribution of properties. The net effect is a loss of approximately 10 PgC in the IndoPacific, and gain of 10 PgC in the Southern Ocean. Enhanced stratification under climate warming also enhances the efficiency of the biological pump, but the net effect of this on carbon uptake is neutralized by the corresponding reduction in solubility. Modeled calcite and aragonite production is strongly depressed by ocean acidification. These responses provide additional acid neutralizing capacity in the surface ocean, but of less than order 1 PgC a-1. Associated changes in the mineral ballasting of sinking organic material combine with enhanced physical stratification to shoal the remineralization of organic material. We find that acidification also leads to enhanced dissolution of sediment calcite, but also of less than order 1 PgC a-1.

In early and late 2011, the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) conducted two surveys of two segments at 160 degrees E (KR1) and 152.5 degrees E (KR2) using the icebreaker Araon, producing a multi-beam map, 48 rock core samples and a MAPR (Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorder) hydrothermal survey. The full spreading rate of the spreading center in this area is 68 mm/yr. The axial depth of KR1 is relatively shallow ( approximately 2,000 m) and is a first-order segment bounded by two large offset transform faults. The axial morphology of KR1 varies substantially from an axial high plateau (Segment 1) in the west, to a small rift valley (Segment 2), to an axial high with graben (Segment 3), and to a substantial rift valley (Segment 4) in the east. These changes occur in the absence of marked offsets in the ridge, such as overlapping spreading centers. Even so, these segments can be divided still further into shorter scale segments based on small discontinuities in the linearity of the axis and variations in rock chemistry. Small offsets in bathymetry can be associated with large chemical changes, such as between Segments 2 and 3, where incompatible element abundances change by almost a factor of ten. Incompatible trace element ratios for basalts show a regular pattern that is nonetheless not a single gradient. Along Segments 1 and 2, an axial high changes to a modest rift, (La/Sm)N of basalts decreases from 0.9 to 0.5. Then there is an abrupt step in enrichment to (La/Sm)N of 1.5, associated with a shallower depths and the appearance of an off-axis seamount south of the axis. This enrichment persists eastwards and then declines progressively to values of (La/Sm)N of 0.7 in the pronounced rift valley of Segment 4. Plume signals indicating hydrothermal vents were found in the middle of KR1 where the most enriched basalts occur and the magma supply appears robust. The first- order segment KR2 can be divided into two segments -- an axial high western segment, and a rift valley eastern segment. Hydrothermal vent signals were mainly found in the western part of the segment. The KR2 samples are mostly depleted, but KR2 also contains enriched basalts, including an E-MORB with 0.65% K2O in the western segment. Enriched KR2 basalts have different ratios of alkalis to HFSE compared to KR1, suggesting they are not derived from the same enriched component. In general in this region, inflated axial morphology is associated with trace element enrichment, suggesting that magma flux is being influenced by changing mantle composition on the segment scale.

Compressor Stations, processing plants, oil and gas well heads. Separators, condensate tanks, evaporation pond disposal facilities, holding tanks, hydraulic fracturing sites, gas pipelines and more were studied using the van. The mobile measurements provide a powerful tool to get to the source of the emissions and reveal the unique chemical signature of each of the stages and components of oil and gas production as well as the overall basin and background gas concentrations. In addition to a suite of gas analyzers, the van includes a meteorological system (temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction), GPS tracking, flask sampling system and a batter power system.

In particular there has been sustained growth in methane in the Southern Hemisphere. This southern growth anomaly is among the larger excursions in the global methane record so far occurring in the 21st century, yet in contrast to Arctic emission, it has had little attention. The increase in methane began in 2007 and continued through early-2012. In the zonal average from the Equator to 30 degrees S, annual increases reached 7.9 ppb/yr in 2007, remained at 7.0 ppb/yr in 2008, fell to around 2.5 ppb/yr in 2009, then increased to 7.9 ppb/yr in 2010. To consider one specific site, recent data from Ascension Island (which samples South Atlantic air almost exclusively) suggests growth of approximately 11 ppb/yr from July 2010 to July 2011 (winter to winter) falling to 8 ppb/yr over Jan 2011-Jan 2012 (summer to summer). Isotopic data for 2011 show (super 13) C enrichments and depletions that may suggest inputs from tropical/subtropical fire and wetland sources, respectively. Despite the size of the southern anomaly, there has been virtually no discussion of its causes. Several possibilities exist: some or all may have occurred: 1) that methane emission from southern wetland (late wet season) and fire (dry season) sources increased sharply during this period; 2) that the southern OH methane sink has decreased; 3) that changes in atmospheric circulation patterns have increased inter-hemispheric transport. It is possible that a major factor was high La Nina rainfall in key areas draining into wetlands in southern tropical Africa and Latin America. Tropical methane sources emit roughly 200 Tg methane annually to the atmosphere, nearly two-fifths of the global budget. Thus changes in tropical sources, if sustained on this scale, can have global significance. However the observational network generally is so sparse in the tropics that identifying causes of methane growth events is more akin to guesswork than evidence-based science. The Northern Hemisphere growth anomalies are equally interesting. Here a parallel increase has occurred, beginning in the Arctic in 2007, and also marked in the northern mid-latitudes in 2009. The most pronounced increase was in the northern mid-latitudes (around 30 degrees N) in 2009.

There are significant concerns about the impact of natural gas production on the atmosphere, including (1) emissions of methane, which determine the net climate impact of this energy source, (2) emissions of reactive hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, and their contribution to photochemical ozone formation, and (3) emissions of air toxics with direct health effects. The Energy & Environment-Uintah Basin Wintertime Ozone Study (UBWOS) in 2012 was focused on addressing these issues. During UBWOS, measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were made using proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) instruments from a ground site and a mobile laboratory. Measurements at the ground site showed mixing ratios of VOCs related to oil and gas extraction were greatly enhanced in the Uintah basin, including several days long periods of elevated mixing ratios and concentrated short term plumes. Diurnal variations were observed with large mixing ratios during the night caused by low nighttime mixing heights and a shift in wind direction during the day. The mobile laboratory sampled a wide variety of individual parts of the gas production infrastructure including active gas wells and various processing plants. Included in those point sources was a new well that was sampled by the mobile laboratory 11 times within two weeks. This new well was previously hydraulically fractured and had an active flow-back pond. Very high mixing ratios of aromatics were observed close to the flow-back pond. The measurements of the mobile laboratory are used to determine the source composition of the individual point sources and those are compared to the VOC enhancement ratios observed at the ground site. The source composition of most point sources was similar to the typical enhancement ratios observed at the ground site, whereas the new well with the flow-back pond showed a somewhat different composition.

Current climate change models generally treat dust particles as single-phase spheres, core-shell (dual-phase) spheres, or spheres with homogeneously-mixed phases. However, the true optical behavior depends on the three-dimensional arrangements of phases as well as overall particle size and shape. Dust presents a particular complexity due to the inherent heterogeneity of chemical phases, resulting in multiple interior interfaces with nonzero changes in the complex refractive index. Dust may also be mixed with light-absorbing carbon, further altering the particles' scattering and absorption properties. Here, we present calculations of dust optical properties based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. DDA calculations on dust are challenging because a large number of dipoles are required to accommodate the size of the particles. Focused ion-beam milling associated with scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) provides access to the complete structure of real particles with complex geometries. Elemental mapping with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy prior to FIB milling informs composition and assignment of refractive indices to particle phases. Using 3-D reconstructions of heterogeneous particles, we show how incorporating structural and composition data in dust mixed with soot changes the calculated optically properties.

Given that the global warming potential of methane is many times greater than that of carbon dioxide (Forster et al. 2007), the importance of quantifying methane emissions becomes clear. Companion presentations at this meeting describe efforts to quantify the overall methane emissions in two separate gas producing areas in Colorado and Utah during intensive field campaigns undertaken in 2012. A key step in the process of assessing the emissions arising from natural gas production activities is partitioning the observed methane emissions between natural gas fugitive emissions and other sources of methane, such as from landfills or agricultural activities. One method for assessing the contribution of these different sources is stable isotope analysis. In particular, the delta 13CH4 signature of natural gas (-37 permil) is significantly different that the signature of other significant sources of methane, such as landfills or ruminants (-50 to -70 permil). In this paper we present measurements of delta 13CH4 in Colorado in Weld County, a region of intense natural gas production, using a mobile delta 13CH4 analyzer capable of high-precision measurements of the stable isotope ratio of methane at ambient levels. This analyzer was used to make stable isotope measurements at a fixed location near the center of the gas producing region, from which an overall isotope ratio for the regional emissions is determined. In addition, mobile measurements in the nocturnal boundary layer have been made, over a total distance of 150 km throughout Weld County, allowing spatially resolved measurements of this isotope signature. Finally, this analyzer was used to quantify the isotopic signature of those individual sources (natural gas fugitive emissions, concentrated animal feeding operations, and landfills) that constitute the majority of methane emissions in this region, by making measurements of the isotope ratio directly in the downwind plume from each source. These data are combined to establish the fraction of the observed methane emissions that can be attributed to natural gas activities in the region. The results are compared to inventories as well as other measurement techniques, and the uncertainty of the measurement is estimated.

Estimating fugitive methane emissions is a challenge because of the temporal variability of emissions and because of the inaccessibility of the emission plumes using traditional measurement techniques. In June of 2012 we conducted flights over shale gas wells in the Marcellus Formation near Washington, PA using Purdue University's Airborne Laboratory for Atmospheric Research (ALAR) which is equipped with a 0.5 Hz Picarro CO (sub 2) /CH (sub 4) /H (sub 2) O analyzer and a programmable flask package provided by NOAA. We calculated methane fluxes for two wells, here denoted as Well Delta and Well Tau, via the aircraft-based mass balance technique that has been previously described by Mays et al. (2009). Briefly, horizontal transects perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction were flown at different altitudes up to the top of the convective boundary layer downwind of a source. The data were interpolated to create a complete 2-d snapshot of methane concentrations derived from the source. By multiplying the background subtracted concentration by the perpendicular component of the horizontal winds and integrating over the plume dimensions the flux can be obtained. During the experiment elevated background concentrations were observed in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania during the morning shown in Figure 1. We mapped the extent of this elevated methane region and used it to obtain an estimate of the regional enhancement of methane. Here we present our preliminary analysis, and results. Well Delta was sampled in three separate experiments; however, it was close to several other active wells. When the signal was too diffuse to obtain separate well specific fluxes, the flux for the entire area was averaged over the number of wells that may have contributed. Well Tau was sampled during one experiment and a nearby relatively large methane emission source was observed during the experiment. In flight investigation revealed the source of this enhancement to be from a coal mine, for which a flux estimate was made.

Dust events were identified through observation and using air-mass back-trajectories, Saharan Air Layer images, measurements of aerosol optical thickness (AOT), in situ scattering and absorption coefficients, and chemical analyses. We focused on results obtained for intense dust events observed in June 22-24 and July 9, 2011. Those events were characterized by higher concentration of coarse particles, higher concentration of metals associated with mineral dust (e.g., Si 3 mu g/m3 compared to background concentrations of 0.15 mu g/m3), higher scattering and absorption coefficients (up to 100 Mm-1 and 2.5 Mm-1 at 550 and 530 nm, respectively), and AOT (from 0.4 to 0.8) values. The single scattering albedo (SSA) was calculated for the periods of interest for the PM10 and the PM1 mass fractions and plotted against wavelength. For PM10, SSA values ranged from 0.93 to 0.99 and had the same trend reported for dust, with lower SSA values at shorter wavelengths. For PM1, values ranged from 0.85 to 0.98 and more variability was observed in terms of SSA wavelength dependence, likely as species other than dust contribute. Satellite products (e.g., Calipso, Seviri) are used in the attempt to trace these events back to their source region at North Africa.

Emissions from the extensive oil and gas exploration in this region are suspected to be the cause of these ozone episodes; however emission rates and photochemical processes are uncertain. During February 2012 continuous surface measurements and vertical profiling from a tethered balloon platform at the Horsepool site yielded high resolution boundary layer profile data on ozone and ozone precursor compounds, i.e. nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds as well as methane. Findings from this study were: 1. Surface ozone during the study period, which had no snow cover, did not exceed the NAAQS. 2. Nitrogen oxides varied from 1-50 ppbv pointing towards significant emission sources, likely from oil and gas operations. 3. Methane concentrations were elevated, reaching up to approximately 10 times its Northern Hemisphere (NH) atmospheric background. 3. Light non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) constituted the main fraction of volatile organic compounds. NMHC concentrations were highly elevated, exceeding levels seen in urban areas. 4. Ozone, methane, NOx and VOC showed distinct diurnal cycles, with large concentration increases seen at night, except for ozone, which showed the opposite behavior. 5. During nighttime concentrations of NOx, NMHC, and methane built up near the surface to levels that were much higher than their daytime concentrations. 6. Comparing NMHC to methane concentrations indicates a mass flux ratio of approximately 30% for total VOC/methane emissions for the Uintah Basin.

In Pennsylvania, the number of wells drilled to extract natural gas from the Marcellus shale has grown from 195 in 2008 to 1,386 in 2010. The gas extraction process using the fracking technology results in the escape of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas and the principal component of natural gas, into the atmosphere. Emissions of methane from fracking operations remain poorly quantified, leading to a large range of scenarios for the contribution of fracking to climate change. A mobile measurement campaign provided insights on methane leakage rates and an improved understanding of the spatio-temporal variability in active drilling areas in the South West of Pennsylvania. Two towers were then instrumented to monitor fugitive emissions of methane from well pads, pipelines, and other infrastructures in the area. The towers, one within a drilling region and one upwind of active drilling, measured atmospheric CH4 mixing ratios continuously. Isotopic measurements from air flasks were also collected. Data from the initial mobile campaign were used to estimate emission rates from single sites such as wells and compressor stations. Tower data will be used to construct a simple atmospheric inversion for regional methane emissions. Our results show the daily variability in emissions and allow us to estimate leakage rates over a one month period in South West Pennsylvania. We discuss potential deployment strategies in drilling zones to monitor emissions of methane over longer periods of time.

The chemistry driving these ground level ozone episodes, usually considered an urban summertime phenomenon, is currently poorly understood. Emissions of ozone precursor species in the Uintah basin are complex, and thought to be driven largely by extensive oil and gas development and production within the basin. The Uintah Basin Winter Ozone Study (UBWOS) was a major collaborative field study in February-March 2012, with the aim of increasing our understanding of this important air quality issue. Through the use of a comprehensive suite of instrumentation and multiple measurement platforms we have been able to better characterize the sources of important ozone precursors, in particular NOx and VOCs, within the basin. These observations enable an investigation of the unique aspects of local sources and chemistry that lead to winter ozone formation within the Uintah basin.

Isotopic techniques were used to characterise the geological source formation from which the gas came. Initially on 30 March 2012 the leak was in the range 1.6 - 0.7 kg s (super -1) , reducing to less than half that rate by 3 April 2012. Keeling plot analysis of methane in air samples showed that the gas had delta (super 13C) (sub CH4) -43 ppm, implying that the gas source was not the main high-pressure high-temperature Elgin gas field (5.5 km deep, at 190 degrees C) but more probably the overlying Hod Formation. The evidence in the air plume for release of very volatile NMHCs confirmed media reports that the gas leak was on the production platform, above the sea level. This contrasts with the early situation in the BP Deepwater Horizon event, where release was underwater and volatile NMHC species were taken up in the water column. Non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and other volatile organic compounds in the plumes were determined from flask samples by offline analysis. NMHC content was dominated by light alkanes ranging from >20 ppb ethane to <1 ppb benzene and <0.1 ppb higher monoaromatics. The methodology developed in this work is widely applicable to future emissions of environmental concern in circumstances where direct access is difficult or dangerous, and permits unbiased regulatory assessment of potential impact, independent of the emitting party.

This study presents a new top-down approach that spatially constrains the amount of aerosol emissions from satellite (MODIS) observed reflectance with the adjoint of a chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem). We apply this technique with a one-month case study (April 2008) over the East Asia. The bottom-up estimated sulfate-nitrate-ammonium precursors, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), ammonia (NH3), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), all from INTEX-B 2006 inventory, emissions of black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC) from Bond-2007 inventory, and mineral dust simulated from DEAD dust mobilization scheme, are spatially optimized from the GEOS-Chem model and its adjoint constrained by the aerosol optical depth (AOD) that are derived from MODIS reflectance with the GEOS-Chem aerosol single scattering properties. The adjoint inverse modeling for the study period yields notable decreases in anthropogenic aerosol emissions over China: 436 Gg (33.5%) for SO2, 378 Gg (34.5%) for NH3, 319 (18.8%) for NOx, 10 Gg (9.1%) for BC, and 30 Gg (15.0%) for OC. The total amount of the mineral dust emission is reduced by 56.4% from the DEAD mobilization module which simulates dust production of 19020 Gg. Sub-regional adjustments are significant and directions of changes are spatially different. The model simulation with optimized aerosol emissions shows much better agreement with independent observations from sun-spectrophotometer observed AOD from AERONET, MISR (Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer) AOD, OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) NO2 and SO2 columns, and surface aerosol concentrations measured over both anthropogenic pollution and dust source regions. Assuming the used bottom-up anthropogenic emissions are best estimates for their base year, i.e. 2006-2007, the overwhelming reduction in the posterior indicates less emission amount in 2008, especially in the central and eastern parts of China. The technique of this study can be applied to global multi-sensor remote sensing data for constraining aerosol emissions at various temporal and spatial scales, and hence improving the quantification of aerosol effects on climate, air quality, and human health.

Using aircraft-based high-resolution (0.5 Hz) observations of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), along with High-Resolution Doppler Lidar wind observations from a ground site in the basin, we have calculated the basin-wide CH4 flux on several days. Uncertainty estimates are calculated for each day and are generally large for all but one flight day. On one day, February 3, uncertainty on the estimate from a mass balance approach is better than 30% due to ideal meteorological conditions, including a well-mixed boundary layer and low wind variability both in time and altitude, as determined from the Lidar wind observations. This aircraft-based mass balance approach to flux estimates is a critical and valuable tool for estimating CH4 emissions from oil and gas basins.

Specifically, we compare model runs that include the increases in anthropogenic sources of sulfur dioxide near the Asian monsoon and the string of moderate volcanic injections of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere observed from 2000 to 2010. Comparing model results to satellite observations reveals that volcanic eruptions are the primary reason for the observed increases in stratospheric aerosols over the past decade. During this time period, significant anthropogenic influences on stratospheric aerosol were not observed.

To study the chemical and meteorological processes leading to these wintertime ozone pollution events, the State of Utah, EPA region 8 and oil and gas operators pulled together a multi-agency research team, including NOAA ESRL/CIRES scientists. The data gathering took place between January 15 and February 29, 2012.To document the chemical signature of various sources in the Basin, we outfitted a passenger van with in-situ analyzers (Picarro: CH4, CO2, CO, H2O, 13CH4; NOxCaRD: NO, NOx, 2B & NOxCaRD: O3) meteorological sensors, GPS units, discrete flask sampling apparatus, as well as a data logging and "real-time" in-situ data visualization system. The instrumented van, called Mobile Lab, also hosted a KIT Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometer (suite of VOCs in situ measurements) for part of the campaign. For close to a month, the Mobile Lab traveled the roads of the oil and gas field, documenting ambient levels of several tracers. Close to 180 valid air samples were collected in February by the Mobile Lab for future analysis in the NOAA and CU/INSTAAR labs in Boulder. At the same time as the surface effort was going on, an instrumented light aircraft conducted transects over the Basin collecting air samples mostly in the boundary layer and measuring in situ the following species CH4, CO2, NO2, O3. We will present some of the data collected by the Mobile Lab and the aircraft and discuss analysis results.

Recent observations have shattered this expectation with hourly ozone mixing ratios regularly exceeding 100 ppb measured in January, February and March in the states of Wyoming and Utah in the United States. Maximum daily eight hour average ozone mixing ratios have exceeded 100 ppb, far exceeding the U.S. threshold of 75 ppb. Conditions under which this dramatic ozone production takes place include a mix of high levels of ozone precursors (NOx and VOCs), a very stable and shallow boundary layer, snow cover providing enhanced UV radiation, and air confining terrain features. The high levels of precursors have been tied to oil and gas extraction activities in the affected regions. Under the requisite meteorological conditions where high pressure, low winds, and snow-covered ground are present extremely stable and shallow ( approximately 50-200 m) boundary layers persist. The highly reflective snow cover provides enhanced photolysis rates that in February can exceed those in June. For several winters in Utah and Wyoming with large ozone enhancements, the time series of various meteorological (wind, temperature, solar radiation, snow cover) and chemical parameters (ozone and NOx) show a somewhat different progression of high ozone events between the two locations. In the Uintah Basin of Utah high ozone formation conditions are more persistent throughout the winter than in the Pinedale Anticline region of Wyoming. This is likely a function of the differing topography of the two areas. However, for individual events the two sites show a similar progression of rapid ozone formation each day. Sites in both Utah and Wyoming just outside the oil and gas extraction activity areas show little or no enhanced ozone. Winters without the requisite meteorological conditions also do not experience high ozone events.

Eleven annually resolved tree-ring and documentary records from ten European countries/regions were used for the reconstruction and compiled as part of the Euro (sub M) ed working group contribution to the PAGES 2k Regional Network. Records were selected based upon their summer temperature signal, annual resolution, and time-continuous sampling. All tree-ring data were detrended using the Regional Curve Standardization (RCS) method to retain low-frequency variance in the resulting mean chronologies. The calibration time series was the area-weighted JJA temperature computed from the CRUTEM4v dataset over a European land domain (35 degrees -70 degrees N, 10 degrees W-40 degrees E). A nested 'Composite-Plus-Scale' reconstruction was derived using nine nests reflecting the availability of predictors back in time. Each nest was calculated by standardizing the available predictor series over the calibration interval, and subsequently calculating a weighted composite in which each proxy was multiplied by its correlation with the target index. The CPS methodology was implemented using a resampling scheme that uses 104 years for calibration. The initial calibration period extended from 1850-1953 C.E. and was incremented by one year until reaching the final period of 1900-2003 C.E., yielding a total of 51 reconstructions for each nest. Within each calibration step, the 50 years excluded from calibration were used for validation. Validation statistics across all reconstruction ensemble members within each nest indicate skillful reconstructions (RE: 0.42-0.64; CE: 0.26-0.54) and are all above the maximum validation statistics achieved in an ensemble of red noise benchmarking experiments. Warm periods in the derived reconstruction during the 1st, 2nd, and 7th-12th centuries compare to similar warm summer temperatures during the mid 20th century, although the 2003 summer remains the warmest single summer over the duration of the reconstruction. A relative period of cold summer temperatures is also noted from the 14th-19th centuries, consistent with the expected timing of the Little Ice Age. The nested CPS reconstruction is also compared to a 37-member ensemble of millennium-length forced transient simulations from CGCMs, including eleven simulations from the collection of CMIP5/PMIP3 last-millennium experiments. The simulations are separated based on their use of strong or weak scaling of total solar irradiance (TSI) forcing over the last millennium. Although both ensembles of simulated mean European temperatures compare well with the nested CPS reconstruction, there is some evidence that there is better agreement with the ensemble using strong TSI as forcing.

We use geological, morphological, petrological, and geochemical observations of this volcanic field made on five research expeditions since 2008, along with comparisons to well-known terrestrial monogenetic fields to assess whether the Mata volcanic group is best thought of as a submarine mongenetic volcanic field (a term rarely, if ever, applied to submarine settings). The volcanism has constructed a series of 9 small, very closely spaced, hydrothermally-active, elongate volcanic edifices near the east-west portion of the Tonga Trench, which are 1.5 to 7.5 km apart (summit to summit) and are 450 to 1400 m tall. Only one of the volcanoes (West Mata) is currently active, erupting boninite pillow lavas along with explosively-generated volcaniclastic sediments. The ages of the youngest volcanics on the other Mata volcanoes are not yet determined but most are hydrothermally active and are surfaced with relatively young lava flows without significant sediment cover. The volcanoes are all formed predominantly of low effusion rate pillow lavas with variable amounts of pyroclastic deposits mantling the constructional topography, suggesting relatively long-lived volcanism (ca 100-200 yrs) at each center, similar to large lava shields in Iceland (e.g., skjaldbreidur). Detailed stratigraphic observations are as yet only available for one volcano (with more to come during an ROV field campaign in Sept. 2012). Bottom photographs provide no clear evidence for long-lived hiatuses at any of these cones and bathymetric data do not intricate overlapping constructional structures, resurgent construction, or large scale collapse or mass wasting structures, as might be expected for a protracted, many-eruption volcanic history at any single volcano. However, the oldest edifice does show evidence of post-volcanic tectonism and several of the smallest volcanoes appear to be built on a basement of either failed earlier volcanoes or rifted lithosphere. All but one of the cones are built of broadly boninitic volcanic products (the other is meimikite), yet major and trace element compositions are distinct enough (Glancy et al., this volume) to imply that each is fed by separate, poorly mixed, small magma batches, much like the MGVF in central western Mexico. The northern portion of the Lau Basin is the fastest opening backarc on Earth; this rapid extension combined with thin lithosphere, and episodic and dispersed magma supply from the nearby subduction system, appears to promote conditions favoring dispersed monogenetic volcanism over longer lived volcanic edifices or ridges.

On October 17, 1891, a submarine eruption began 4 kilometers northwest of the island of Pantelleria, Sicily. The eruptive vent was located at a depth of 250 meters along the NW-SE trending Sicily Channel Rift Zone. Evidence for the eruption was provided by the occurrence of hot, scoriaceous lava "balloons" floating on the sea surface along a narrow line about 850-1000 meters long trending along the rift. These extremely vesicular fragments were spherical to ellipsoidal in shape and ranged from <50 to 250 cm in diameter. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and existing bathymetric maps have been used to conduct the first detailed investigation of a vent site associated with this unique style of volcanism. In 2011 the ROV Hercules, deployed from the E/V Nautilus, explored the 1891 Foerstner vent using high definition video cameras and produced a high resolution bathymetric map of the area using a BlueView multibeam imaging sonar. Light backscattering and oxidation-reduction potential sensors (MAPRs) were added to Hercules to detect discharge from active venting. ROV video footage has been used in conjunction with the high resolution bathymetric data to construct a geologic map of the vent area based on a variety of facies descriptors, such as abundance of scoria bombs, occurrence of pillow or scoria flow lobes, extent of sediment cover, and presence of spatter-like deposits. Initial results of the mapping have shown that there are two main vents that erupted within the observed area of floating scoria and most likely erupted at the same time as evidenced by similar bulk chemical compositions of recovered samples. Scoria bomb beds and some scoria flow lobes largely cover the suspected main vent, located at a depth of 250 meters. Distinct pillow flow lobes cover the second, previously unknown vent located north of Foerstner volcano at a depth of around 350 meters. Given the close proximity of these two vents, the differences in deposit types may be due to changing eruption style as a function of water depth. The abundant pillow flow lobes observed at the northern vent are most likely the result of more effusive eruptions occurring in deeper water (350 m) whereas the dominantly fragmental nature of material in the main southern vent indicates more vigorous explosive activity at shallower levels (250 m). Based on the nature of deposits found at the vent areas, the basaltic balloons of the 1891 Foerstner eruption are suspected to be a result of both coarse, localized fire fountaining activity and detachment from gas-charged flow lobes. The larger and shallower southern vent area is likely to have been the main source of the basaltic balloons observed on the surface during the 1891 eruption. A review of other historic eruptions that have produced basaltic balloons suggests that this style of activity is likely to be restricted to a rather narrow range of water depths and thus recognition of the distinct deposits produced by this type of activity in ancient deposits could help place important paleodepth constraints on volcaniclastic sequences.

The bathymetry differencing between the December 2010 survey and the November 2011 survey, both made with the EM122 system on the R/V Kilo Moana, reveals some well-defined anomalies. There are two large negative anomalies at the summit and a lesser amplitude but broader area positive anomaly downslope on the eastern flank. The western negative anomaly is basically a deep pit of approximately 70-80 m right where the Hades eruptive vent was located in 2009. The larger, linear negative anomaly to the east appears to be a submarine slide that took off part of the preexisting summit ridge and a portion of the upper flank of the volcano and extends for more than a kilometer to the east. Downslope and east of that is an elongated area positive anomaly extending about kilometer downslope that likely represents the portion of the slide material that is within the resolution of the multibeam difference grids ( approximately 5-10 m). A smaller negative anomaly on the west rift zone is less certain because it's located on a steeper slope where differencing errors are higher. We also recorded water column acoustic scans over the volcano's summit using the ship's EM122 sonar. The water column data did not show obvious bubble plumes rising from the summit or any of the acoustic dropouts recorded during May 2010 multibeam surveys, the latter of which we interpreted as errors in the sound velocity profile induced by temperature/particle anomalies in the rising plume. Because we know that the volcano has cyclic activity and that gas bubbles would be relatively small at this depth (1200 m) and difficult to detect acoustically, our assessment is that the volcano appeared to have a reduced output of heat and gas during the one month observation period relative to the 2009-10 observations. We interpret the December 2010 - November 2011 bathymetric changes on West Mata as evidence of an event or events over a year (there was no significant change between May 2010 and December 2010) that culminated in magma withdrawal at the summit vents that in turn may have induced a major slump that removed part of the summit area. For the most clearly-defined area of change on the summit and eastern flank of the volcano, the amount of measurable negative change is approximately 2.5 times positive change. This "missing" material can be accounted for by some combination of broader dispersal downslope from the slump and/or radial pyroclastic dispersal from the summit and magma withdrawal. The effect of this event on the summit volcanic/hydrothermal system is not clear because we did not conduct any CTD casts in 2011 and the acoustic data from the water column is ambiguous. Part of the answer may lie in the data from the hydrophone near West Mata that was deployed in 2010 and is slated to be recovered in 2012. We will also be conducting a dive to the summit of West Mata with a remotely operated vehicle. These new data and observations will hopefully provide us the exact timeline for the event or events that occurred in 2011 and provide a view of the current state of the volcano.

The EM122 (12 kHz) system collects seafloor bathymetry and backscatter data, as well as acoustic return water column data. Previous expeditions to NW Rota-1 have included seafloor mapping / CTD tow-yo surveys and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2009. Much of the focus has been on the one main eruptive vent, Brimstone, located on the south side of the summit at a depth of approximately 440m, which has been persistently active during all ROV visits. Extensive degassing of CO2 bubbles have been observed by the ROV during frequent eruptive bursts from the vent. Between expeditions in April 2009 and March 2010 a major eruption and landslide occurred at NW Rota-1. ROV dives in 2010 revealed that after the landslide the eruptive vent had been reorganized from a single site to a line of vents. Brimstone vent was still active, but 4 other new eruptive vents had also emerged in a NW/SE line below the summit extending approximately 100 m from the westernmost to easternmost vents. During the ROV dives, the eruptive vents were observed to turn on and off from day to day and hour to hour. Throughout the 2010 expedition numerous passes were made over the volcano summit to image the bubble plumes above the eruptive vents in the water column, in order to capture the variability of the plumes over time and to relate them to the eruptive output of the volcano. The mid-water sonar data set totals >95 hours of observations over a 12-day period. Generally, the ship drove repeatedly over the eruptive vents at a range of ship speeds (0.5-4 knots) and headings. In addition, some mid-water data was collected during three ROV dives when the ship was stationary over the vents. We used the FMMidwater software program (part of QPS Fledermaus) to visualize and analyze the data collected with this new mid-water technology. The data show that during some passes over the vent all 5 eruptive vents were contributing to the plume above the volcano, whereas on other passes only 1 vent was visible. However, it was common that multiple vents were active at any one time. The highest observed rise of a bubble plume in the water column came from the easternmost vent, with the main plume rising 415 meters from the vent to within 175 m of the surface. In some cases, wisps from the main plume rose to heights less than 100 m from the surface. This analysis shows that water column imaging multibeam sonar data can be used as a proxy to determine the level of eruptive activity above submarine volcanoes that have robust CO2 output. We plan to compare this data set to other data sets including hydrophone recordings, ADCP data and ROV visual observations.

These include a series of young seamounts in the northeast of the basin called the Matas, which lay between the transform boundary marking the northern edge of the basin, the Tofua arc to the east, and the northeast Lau spreading center to the west. Sampling so far indicates that all are constructed of boninite pillow lavas except for one seamount which is composed of meimechite; nearly all are high Mg orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene-olivine porphorytic, with somewhat differentiated glass compositions relative to the whole rocks. The Mata volcanoes are geologically young (an eruption was observed at West Mata Volcano in May 2009 (Resing et al., Nat. Geosci, 4, 2011) and several of the northern Mata group have active hydrothermal systems), providing unique opportunities for insights into boninite formation. The Mata seamounts are in a unique setting, very close to the arc, but within the backarc region. The small, possibly monogenetic cones have formed in a small extensional basin along en-echelon fractures trending obliquely away from the subduction trench (Rubin and Embley 2012, AGU meeting). This pattern is in contrast to the arc-parallel lineated northeast Lau spreading center that intersects the E-W arm of the trench within approximately 25 km west of the Mata basin. We test two possible models for formation of the Matas using geochemical signatures within the lavas. In the first model, volcanism is sourced in part by fluids derived from the actively subducting slab, causing geochemical signatures related to the nearby active arc that decrease with distance from the arc. This model predicts that subduction related geochemical signatures would be greatest in the South where the volcanoes are closer to the downgoing slab. In an alternate model, volcanism is fed by extension-driven upwelling of back-arc mantle, which was enhanced by subduction-derived fluids at some time in the geological past. The proximity of the extensional zone to the arc taps a portion of the mantle wedge between the magmatic arc and the backarc spreading center that does not normally produce eruptive products. In this case, extension may have opened conduits for this material to reach the surface. Thus, the subduction-related geochemical signature would not necessarily be a function of the distance to the subducted slab, and no spatial gradient in subduction-related trace element signatures would be predicted. To test the plausibility of the flux melting and decompression melting models, we will present a comparison of geochemical signatures in Mata lavas sampled from throughout the volcano group on four research expeditions in the past three years. Preliminary XRF and ICPMS trace element data suggests that subduction related signatures, such as elevated Ba/La and Ba/Nb, become stronger towards the south of the chain, closer to the arc. Ongoing work will enlarge the data set and refine these trends to better constrain these tectono-magmatic models for boninite petrogenesis.

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are capable of exacerbating existing hazards and those made more severe by climate change (e.g. local sea level rise). In order to properly understand TC impacts in this region, a comprehensive database of TC tracks is required. This work has collated TC best track data from forecast centers around the globe with the aim of producing a unified global best TC track dataset for the historical period. Data from the International Best Tracks for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) project information for the southwest Pacific (135 degrees E-120 degrees W, 5 degrees -25 degrees S) is built on and included in this effort. We document the construction of an enhanced TC database for the southwest Pacific, the quality controls needed to construct the database, and discuss how it has enhanced the chronology of region-wide historical TC activity in light of newly discovered data. We suggest this enhanced dataset can be used in forthcoming climate and weather studies to better characterize the climatology and behavior of TCs in the southwest Pacific.

AN - 1323793778; 15564 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the incidental take of nine federally listed species and two currently unlisted species during timber harvest, forest management, and related activities within a 213,244-acre plan area in western Mendocino County, California is proposed. The Mendocino Redwood Company (MRC) is seeking an 80-year permit for covered activities on commercial timberlands located west of U.S. Route 101 that include portions of the Albion, Big, Garcia, South Fork Eel, Navarro, Noyo, and upper Russian River river watersheds, as well as portions of Cottaneva, Howard, Hardy, Juan, Alder, Elk, Greenwood, and Mallo Pass creek watersheds. The following five listed species are proposed for coverage under a National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) permit: Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast coho salmon; Central California Coast coho salmon; California Coastal chinook salmon; Northern California steelhead; and Central California Coast steelhead. The following four listed species are proposed for coverage under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) permit: California red-legged frog; northern spotted owl; marbled murrelet; and Point Arena mountain beaver. The proposed USFWS permit would also cover two animal species that are not currently listed under the ESA: Northern red-legged frog; and coastal tailed frog. MRC has prepared a draft habitat conservation plan which includes measures and strategies designed to minimize take and maintain or improve habitat conditions for listed and nonlisted covered species. A 1,237-acre Lower Alder Creek Management area would be established at the outset of the proposed plan. The only forest management that would be permitted within this management area would enhance habitat conditions for the marbled murrelet. This draft EIS analyzes five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. Under the proposed plan alternative, MRC would receive an 80-year incidental take permit for 11 species. Under Alternative A, the permit term and species covered would be the same, but there would be additional measures to enhance conservation of key habitats, including larger protective streamside buffers and higher tree retention standards. Under Alternative B, only northern spotted owl and marbled murrelet would be covered, and the minimization and mitigation for the take of covered species would be largely achieved via a system of species-specific no-harvest reserves. Under Alternative C, the permits would be issued for only 40 years and Point Arena mountain beaver, northern red-legged frog, and coastal tailed frog would not be included as covered species. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enable MRC to operate a successful business with regulatory stability while managing its lands using the long-term conservation strategies and sustainable forestry practices. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Forest management and related activities could adversely affect non-covered plant species of concern and vegetation communities of concern.

AN - 1323793757; 15561 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of incidental take permits (ITPs) for federally protected species on 8,180 acres of land owned by Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford) in southern San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County, California is proposed. The permits would be issued for a period of 50 years. Stanford is a private entity and 40 percent of its land has been intensively developed while the other portions are currently undeveloped or have only minor development. The listed species on Stanford's lands include the California red-legged frog, San Francisco garter snake, Central California Coast steelhead, and what is believed to be the last remaining population on the San Francisco Peninsula of California tiger salamander (CTS). The habitat conservation plan (HCP) prepared by Stanford also includes protection measures for the western pond turtle, which is currently not listed under the Endangered Species Act. The proposed HCP would implement take avoidance and minimization measures, monitoring and management of habitat, and permanent preservation of habitat as mitigation for the permanent loss of habitat. Activities covered by the proposed permits would include ongoing maintenance and operation of Stanford, up to 180 acres of future development on Stanford lands, and implementation of the conservation program. The HCP divides the land at and around the university into four zones according to relative habitat value: Zone 1 designates land providing critical resources for one or more covered species; Zones 2 and 3 represent lands providing occasional and limited resources; and Zone 4 consists of urbanized areas that do not provide any habitat value. Land in Zones 1, 2, and 3 is further divided into three basins: the San Francisco/Los Trancos Creek Basin, the Matadero/Deer Creek Basin, and the CTS Basin. The ITPs would authorize the take of covered species in Zone 4, primarily in authorizing relocation of any species that wander into the urbanized areas to an appropriate habitat area in Zone 1. Required minimization measures would apply to activities that occur in Zone 1 and 2, and in some cases, Zone 3. Stanford would manage a minimum of 770 acres of Zone 1 habitat with 360 of those 770 acres permanently conserved within one year of issuance of the ITPs. In addition to the proposed action, which is the preferred alternative, this final EIS analyzes a more limited CTS Only Alternative and a No Action Alternative. Under the CTS Only Alternative, covered activities would be limited to those that occur in the CTS Basin, which includes lands around Lagunita, the golf course, and portions of the foothills south of Junipero Serra Boulevard, in the area designated as the CTS Reserve. An ITP for the tiger salamander would be issued, but other species would be addressed on a project-specific basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The HCP would stabilize and increase the populations of California red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, and steelhead on Stanford lands and enhance and protect their habitat, including riparian vegetation, creeks and grassland and seasonal wetlands. The HCP would also contribute to regional efforts to maintain native diversity, support Stanfords mission as a research and teaching institution and provide a 50-year framework to promote conservation and plan for future land use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future development could have unavoidable adverse traffic effects and would contribute to existing cumulative effects associated with particulate matter emissions in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Various measures of temperature extremes and drought severity serve to put this period into historical perspective (1895 to present) and to assess to what extent the recent anomalies are consistent with observed trends. During spring and summer, anomalously high temperatures can combine with unusually dry conditions to amplify temperature and drought feedbacks. Observational data from 2011 and 2012 are strongly suggestive of such an amplification and reveal a number of significant trends for various measures of high temperatures in the United States.

We developed a decision-support tool to assist siting wave energy facilities, which allows the user to balance the need for profitability of the facilities with the need to minimize conflicts with other ocean uses. Our wave energy model quantifies harvestable wave energy and evaluates the net present value (NPV) of a wave energy facility based on a capital investment analysis. The model has a flexible framework and can be easily applied to wave energy projects at local, regional, and global scales. We applied the model and compatibility analysis on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada to provide information for ongoing marine spatial planning, including potential wave energy projects. In particular, we conducted a spatial overlap analysis with a variety of existing uses and ecological characteristics, and a quantitative compatibility analysis with commercial fisheries data. We found that wave power and harvestable wave energy gradually increase offshore as wave conditions intensify. However, areas with high economic potential for wave energy facilities were closer to cable landing points because of the cost of bringing energy ashore and thus in nearshore areas that support a number of different human uses. We show that the maximum combined economic benefit from wave energy and other uses is likely to be realized if wave energy facilities are sited in areas that maximize wave energy NPV and minimize conflict with existing ocean uses. Our tools will help decision-makers explore alternative locations for wave energy facilities by mapping expected wave energy NPV and helping to identify sites that provide maximal returns yet avoid spatial competition with existing ocean uses.

In both matrices, tHg and MeHg concentrations varied broadly. Significant concentration differences (p<0.05) between the sub-regions of the eastern, central and western Gulf were observed with maximum concentrations (hotspots) found at specific sites all across the Gulf. Compared to the Food and Drug Administration's action level in seafood, maximum mercury values were low. Based on the long-term MWP data, tHg in tissues show fairly static temporal trends along the central and western Gulf coast, while strong decreasing trends were observed in the eastern Gulf. However, the presence of mercury hotspots indicates that mercury is still a concern in the GOM. The results complement existing information to further the understanding of mercury distributions in the GOM.

Construction of 8 mainstem dams on the Snake/Columbia River that fish must pass has greatly altered the connectivity between their freshwater spawning and rearing habitats and the ocean. In addition to direct mortality to smolts passing through turbines, these dams along with over 200 additional dams and storage reservoirs above them affect the volume, timing and turbidity of river flows and the size of the plume entering the ocean. At mainstem dams, improvements to fish ladders have largely eliminated problems for upstream migrants, while construction of screened bypass systems, a spill program, and transport of smolts by barge have greatly improved direct survival of juveniles. However, smolt-to-adult returns have not shown the same improvement and have been highly variable in recent years. While direct survival for juveniles passing 8 dams is now as high or higher than historically when they passed only 4, survival downstream of the last dam has changed in part due to altered timing and condition of smolts upon ocean entry. Recent additions of surface passage structures at dams have reduced travel time through the system to more closely approach historical rates prior to dam construction. However, substantial additional improvement in direct survival of smolts through the hydropower system does not appear achievable with existing knowledge and technology. Restoring conditions in the plume might improve survival but would require increased flow volume.

A mass-balance approach was used to directly determine the flow of super(15)NO sub(3) super(-) to plants, algae, and sediments, with unaccounted for super(15)N assumed to be denitrified. During the summer, plant and algal uptake accounted for 42%, of the added super(15)NO sub(3) super(-) in oxbow 1, less than 1% remained in the water column and 57% was unaccounted for. In oxbow 2 during the summer, plant and algal uptake accounted for 63% of the added super(15)NO sub(3) super(-), with <1% remaining in the water column and 38% unaccounted for. During the early spring, plant and algal uptake were much lower in both oxbows, ranging from 0.05 to 13.3% of the super(15)N added, with 97 and 87% was unaccounted for in oxbow 1 and 2, respectively. The amount of unaccounted for super(15)N was equivalent to estimated areal denitrification rates of 12 and 6 mg N m super(-2) d super(-1) in the summer and 78 and 15 mg N m super(-2) d super(-1) in the spring, in oxbow 1 and oxbow 2, respectively. However, the uncertainty of these estimates is high as it was difficult to detect accumulation of super(15)N in the sediments which could have accounted for a very large percentage of the added super(15)N. Our results suggest that the two relict oxbow wetlands are sinks for NO sub(3) super(-) during both summer and spring but that the pathways of removal vary with plants and algae playing a major role in summer but not in spring.

Benthic foraminifera exhibit high values of H(S), species number, and species equitability from 0-40 degrees N and are associated with low seasonality, while generally lower values are found from 40 to 60 degrees N in areas with high seasonality and phytodetritus deposition. Diversity data are not correlated with mean annual productivity or temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH of the bottom waters. Isopod, gastropod, and bivalve diversity data from Rex et al. (2000) show strong relationships with seasonality, with low biodiversity found in northern latitudes with high seasonality. In addition, a multiple regression of the isopod, bivalve, and gastropod data shows that isopod species number and H are correlated with both dissolved bottom water oxygen and seasonality. Low diversity found in areas experiencing highly seasonal productivity, organic carbon flux and phytodetritus deposition does not support the suggestions that patch dynamics or biological disturbance create high diversity in the deep sea. The meiofaunal and macrofaunal data suggest that annual resource stability, as reflected in seasonal food availability, has a significant effect on benthic biodiversity patterns in the North Atlantic.

A key component of NICE's program model is a commitment to fostering and facilitating a community among our awardees. Recently, we have prioritized the growth of a parallel community of NICE project evaluators. Face-to-face meetings, dedicated webspace for sharing evaluation-related resources, and quarterly webinars allow project evaluators to leverage prior work and incorporate common or useful instruments and tools. We aim to maximize the impact of the funded portfolio through this community of practice, and further through a tri-agency collaboration with sister initiatives at NOAA and NSF. Along with the benefits this community provides to the funded educational and evaluation activities, these efforts also reflect the commitment of NICE and the tri-agency collaboration to government-wide alignment of STEM education activities and evaluations across Federal agencies (e.g., the recommendations of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on STEM Education). Through the formation of a Tri-Agency Common Evaluation Framework working group, these three agencies are involved in coordination of evaluation across the tri-agency portfolio. In April 2012, the working group, comprising representatives of these agencies, the funded projects, and their evaluators, met in Arlington, VA to take early steps in the development of a framework for the common evaluation of this diverse portfolio. The common framework and nascent draft logic model have taken into consideration common evaluation-related needs, the articulation of common goals and desired impacts, and available or needed instruments and/or methodologies in this field. In late October 2012, this framework and the next steps will be discussed in detail by the environmental evaluation community during the American Evaluation Association annual meeting. This talk will describe NICE's efforts to assemble, synthesize, and share climate literacy-focused evaluation instruments, tools, and resources. We'll also report on updates to the efforts of the tri-agency collaboration to establish a common evaluation framework, and on the feedback received from members of the American Evaluation Association.

(http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/studentworkshop/) This week-long event for high school students was started in 1991 by CIMSS scientists who wanted to share the excitement of science and technology with the precollege community. With staffing support from NOAA scientists and facility space provided by the UW-Madison Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department, traditional themes include satellite remote sensing, weather forecasting and climate change. There is also a strong emphasis on the connection between geology and meteorology with a full-day field trip to nearby sites that include exceptional outcrops of Precambrian quartzite, glacial landforms and tectonic features. During the field investigation, students also explore evidence of early Paleozoic tropical storm events preserved in the rock record. This session will provide a visual tour of the week's agenda while highlighting historical milestones, evaluation results, and the decision to segway from being a grant supported event to a more fiscally self-sustaining program. We will also look at a few college and career trajectories that some of the students took following participation in the workshop. Not surprisingly, many of these students are working in earth science professions influenced by this popular and proven pipeline to the scientific community.

Otoliths from each fish were read by three readers. The readings have a positive bias among young fish and a negative bias among older fish. Among otoliths of the same age, some tended to give consistently high or low annulus counts, so that the variance of age readings at each true age was about half due to variance among otoliths and half due to variance among replicate readings of individual otoliths. The statistical distribution of age reading errors is well described by an asymmetrical two-sided geometric distribution with age-varying parameters. For comparison, the error distribution was estimated with naive methods that do not use the known ages and that assume the readings are unbiased. These estimated distributions do not match the actual error distributions very well, but they do a surprisingly good job of predicting the distribution of age readings from a stock assessment model's internal estimate of a true age composition. They also produce estimates of recruitment and biomass close to those obtained with the actual error distributions when used in the present sablefish stock assessment.

The species has determinate growth and reaches maximum shell length before sexual maturation; thereafter the shell grows only in thickness. In this study, queen conch were collected in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas, to evaluate maturity with respect to shell length (SL) (170-255 mm) and shell lip thickness (LT) (2-42 mm). Soft tissue weight and gonad weight increased with SL, but these same variables, along with the gonadosomatic index (gonad weight/soft tissue weight), all had dome-shaped distributions with LT and decreased slightly with LT > 22 mm. This indicates some loss of fecundity with age; however, no loss of reproductive capability was evident in histological data. Gonad maturity lagged substantially behind first formation of the shell lip. Minimum LT for reproductive maturity was 12 mm for females and 9 mm for males, and 50% maturity for the population was achieved at 26 mm LT for females and 24 mm LT for males, higher than previous estimates. A review of fishing regulations indicates that immature queen conch are being harvested legally in most Caribbean nations, providing at least a partial explanation for widespread depletion. While relationships between shell lip thickness, age, and maturity vary geographically, sustainable management of queen conch will require a minimum shell lip thickness for harvest no less than 15 mm, along with other urgently needed management measures.

In order for the citizens of tomorrow to be prepared there is a clear need to support teachers, students, and the public in improving their understanding of the climate system and to enable them to use that understanding to make responsible decisions about the environment. The CLEAN project provides some of that support by enabling access to educational materials that are scientifically accurate, pedagogically effective, and technically robust. CLEAN (http://cleanet.org) is a National Science Digital Library (http://www.nsdl.org) project that stewards a collection of resources for teaching climate and energy science in grades 6-16. The collection contains classroom activities, lab demonstrations, visualizations, simulations, videos, and more. Each resource is reviewed for scientific accuracy, pedagogical effectiveness, and technical quality. Once accepted into the CLEAN collection, a resource is aligned with the Climate Literacy Essential Principles for Climate Science, the AAAS Project 2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy and other national standards. The CLEAN website hosts a growing collection of over 400 resources that represent the leading edge of climate and energy science educational resources. In this presentation we will demonstrate the various avenues of how the CLEAN portal that can help educators improve their own climate and energy literacy, help them determine why and how to effectively integrate the climate and energy principles into their teaching, and facilitate educators successfully using the resources with their students.

Bouldery lag deposits, such as on the submerged segment of the Point Judith moraine, and scour depressions, such as near the passage between Block Island and the mainland, reflect high-energy conditions characterized by sedimentary processes associated with erosion. Environmental energy levels fall as depth increases and tidal flow becomes less constricted. Fields of sand waves and megaripples, such as those near the southwestern entrance to the Sound, reflect sedimentary environments characterized by processes associated with coarse bedload transport. Sand-wave and obstacle-mark asymmetry reveal directions of net sediment transport. Elsewhere, most deeper parts of the study area are characterized by a faintly rippled to undulating, bioturbated seabed composed of Holocene fine-grained, slightly muddy sand, reflecting sedimentary environments dominated by processes associated with sorting and reworking. The sea floor is flatter, muddier, and more heavily bioturbated in the protected area west-northwest of Block Island where sedimentary environments are characterized by processes associated with deposition. Shallow scour depressions, formed and maintained primarily by storm-waves, occur in a variety of shapes and configurations near crests of bathymetric highs and on seaward-facing slopes. Some end abruptly at their deeper extents; a few connect with channel systems that continue downslope. In places, the entire Holocene section has been removed within these depressions, exposing boulders and cobbles on the winnowed relict Pleistocene surface. In other places the depressions are floored by rippled sand and gravelly sediment, but sediments in the depressions are coarser than those on the adjacent sea floor. Our bottom photography shows that the resultant close association of muddy sand- and gravel-dependent communities promotes regional faunal complexity.

This region experiences large fluctuations in precipitation and temperature due to interannual oscillations in the El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Chuuk Atoll (7 degrees N, 152 degrees E) is centrally located within the Warm Pool and provides an ideal location for studies of WPWP processes. Massive mounding corals have shown to be one of the best paleoclimate proxies, especially in warm, tropical regions because they have the powerful advantage of recording environmental changes in the seawater in which they are growing in their aragonitic skeletons. In addition, they grow relatively quickly in comparison to other marine calcifiers, providing the opportunity to make high-resolution (monthly or better) measurements. Determining the geochemical properties (delta (super 18) O, delta (super 13) C, Sr/Ca) of the calcium carbonate coral skeletons allows us to reconstruct past oceanic environmental conditions. Using the combination of stable isotope analyses and Sr/Ca measurements of the coral skeletal material, corals greatly contribute to a longer ocean observation record than is available through just the modern instrumental record. Cores from large Porites lobata coral heads were collected from Chuuk Atoll in June 2011 and have undergone stable isotope (delta (super 18) O, delta (super 13) C) and trace element (Sr/Ca) analysis. The KIOST tropical marine station at Chuuk has been collecting temperature and salinity records for the past several years, making the calibration of geochemical data to temperature or salinity measurements much more accurate than simply using low-resolution model variables. Results covering the last 20 years indicate small annual temperature variations and large deviations in oxygen isotope values corresponding to El Nino years. Results will also be compared to a Porites coral core collected in 2008.

In the extratropics, while the time-mean circulation primarily moves moisture zonally within ocean basins, low-frequency and synoptic anomalies drive much of the mean moisture transport both from ocean to land and toward the poles. In particular, during the cool-season low-frequency variability is the largest contributor to mean moisture transport into southwestern North America, Europe, and Australia. While some low-frequency transport originates in low latitudes, much is of extratropical origin due to large-scale atmospheric anomalies that extract moisture from the northeast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Low-frequency variability is also integral to the Arctic (latitudes > 70 degree N) mean moisture budget, especially during summer, when it drives mean poleward transport from relatively wet high-latitude continental regions. Synoptic variability drives about half of the mean poleward moisture transport in the midlatitudes of both hemispheres, consistent with simple "lateral mixing" arguments. Extratropical atmospheric transport is also particularly focused within "atmospheric rivers" (ARs), relatively narrow poleward-moving moisture plumes associated with frontal dynamics. AR moisture transport, defined by compositing fluxes over those locations and times where column-integrated water vapor and poleward low-level wind anomalies are both positive, represents most of the total extratropical meridional moisture transport. These results suggest that understanding potential anthropogenic changes in the earth 's hydrological cycle may require understanding corresponding changes in atmospheric variability, especially on low-frequency time scales.

The southeast population, P.o. carolinensis, was delisted in 1985, while the west coast population, P.o. californicus, was not delisted until 2009. As fish-eating coastal seabirds, brown pelicans may serve as a biomonitors. Organic contaminants were examined in brown pelican eggs collected from the Gulf of California in 2004 and South Carolina in 2005 using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Contaminants were compared using all individual data as well as statistically pooled samples to provide similar sample sizes with little difference in results. Principal components analysis separated the Gulf of California brown pelican eggs from the South Carolina eggs based on contaminant patterns. The South Carolina population had significantly (P<0.05) higher levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlordanes, dieldrin and mirex, while the Gulf of California eggs had higher levels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs). With the exception of dieldrin and brominated diphenyl ether (BDE) 47, this pattern was observed for mussel and oyster tissues from these regions, indicating the need for further study into the differences between east and west coast brown pelican populations and ecosystem contamination patterns.

Critically endangered leatherback turtles in the eastern Pacific Ocean are excellent candidates for such an assessment because their sensitivity to contemporary climate variability has been substantially studied. If incidental fisheries mortality is eliminated, this population still faces the challenge of recovery in a rapidly changing climate. Here we combined an Earth system model, climate model projections assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and a population dynamics model to estimate a 7% per decade decline in the Costa Rica nesting population over the twenty-first century. Whereas changes in ocean conditions had a small effect on the population, the 2.5 degree C warming of the nesting beach was the primary driver of the decline through reduced hatching success and hatchling emergence rate. Hatchling sex ratio did not substantially change. Adjusting nesting phenology or changing nesting sites may not entirely prevent the decline, but could offset the decline rate. However, if future observations show a long-term decline in hatching success and emergence rate, anthropogenic climate mitigation of nests (for example, shading, irrigation) may be able to preserve the nesting population.

This study examined concentrations of a large suite of POPs in blubber and serum of juvenile and adult HMS from the MHI. Adult females have the lowest blubber levels of most POPs, whereas adult males have highest levels. POPs in serum were significantly different in adult males compared with adult females for chlordanes and summed dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs). Lipid-normalized concentrations of chlordanes, DDTs, polychlorinated biphenyls, and mirex in paired blubber and serum samples were significantly correlated. Contaminant levels from the MHI were at similar or lower levels than those from remote Northwestern Hawaiian Island populations. Determining initial ranges of POPs is an important step towards assessing one of the many potential health threats to this critically endangered species.

In the asymptotic distribution of the sample autocovariance there are three rates of convergence that depend on the interplay between the memory parameter d and α, and which consequently lead to three different limit distributions; for the sample autocorrelation the limit distribution only depends on d. We introduce a self-normalized sample autocovariance statistic, which is computable without knowledge of α or d (or their relationship), and which converges to a non-degenerate distribution. We also treat self-normalization of the autocorrelations. The sampling distributions can then be approximated non-parametrically by subsampling, as the corresponding asymptotic distribution is still parameter‐ ;dependent. The subsampling-based confidence intervals for the process autocovariances and autocorrelations are shown to have satisfactory empirical coverage rates in a simulation study. The impact of subsampling block size on the coverage is assessed. The methodology is further applied to the log-squared returns of Merck stock.

SALSEA North America: a pelagic ecosystem survey targeting Atlantic salmon in the Northwest Atlantic. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 1580-1588.Pelagic ecosystem surveys were conducted in the Labrador Sea during 2008 and 2009 as part of SALSEA North America. In total, 107 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were captured using a pelagic surface trawl and multipanel surface gillnets. Surface trawling provided a broad spatial sampling of the fish and macroinvertebrate communities in the upper 10 m of the water column, but caught few salmon (23). Gillnetting was more effective at capturing post-smolt (60) and adult (24) salmon. Multiple smolt cohorts were captured, indicating that post-smolts and returning adults from different rivers in North America have similar autumnal habitat requirements. Post-smolts were caught at night and in water temperatures exceeding 10 degree C, both novel results. Post-smolts and adults consumed similar and diverse prey species, although Themisto compressa was the most important prey item. Intestinal macroparasite loads were substantial and could be a significant source of mortality. Concurrent planktonic assemblage and oceanographic conditions were also quantified. A full exploration of these data, historical datasets, and parallel data collected during SALSEA Greenland and SALSEA-Merge will further understanding of the ecology of marine-phase Atlantic salmon and inform investigations into stock-specific differences in marine productivity.

Revisiting the marine migration of US Atlantic salmon using historical Carlin tag data. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 1609-1615.The development of a fishery for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the sea at West Greenland in the early 1960s prompted the start of a US tagging programme in 1962. Between 1962 and 1996, more than 1.5 million salmon from New England rivers, primarily hatchery-reared smolts, were tagged and released. Overall, the rate of tag recovery was 0.55%, with 23.2% of the tags recovered from Canada, 26.0% from Greenland, and 50.8% from the United States. A generalized additive model was used to analyse marine survival based on returns of tagged salmon to the Penobscot River. The month and year of release, sea age, smolt age, and environmental variables, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) indices and local sea surface temperatures (SSTs), were assessed to explain the variability in the return rate. The AMO and NAO indices, SST, sea age, and time across years all affected survival assessed in terms of returns to the Penobscot River. The results provide information to support the management of Atlantic salmon stocks on a spatial and temporal scale in US rivers and the fishery at West Greenland.

Pacific ocean perch (POP, Sebastes alutus) have an extended juvenile period where they inhabit rocky nursery habitats. We examined POP nursery areas to link growth potential to recruitment. Juvenile POP were captured from nursery areas in 2004 and 2008, and estimated growth rates ranged from -0.19 to 0.60gday-1 based on differences in size between June and August. Predicted growth rates from a bioenergetics model ranged from 0.05 to 0.49gday-1 and were not significantly different than observed. Substrate preferences and the distribution of their preferred habitats were utilized to predict the extent of juvenile POP nursery habitat in the Gulf of Alaska. Based on densities of fish observed on underwater video transects and the spatial extent of nursery areas, we predicted 278 and 290 million juvenile POP were produced in 2004 and 2008. Growth potential for juvenile POP was reconstructed using the bioenergetics model, spring zooplankton bloom timing and duration and bottom water temperature for 1982-2008. When a single outlying recruitment year in 1986 was removed, growth potential experienced by juvenile POP in nursery areas was significantly correlated to the recruitment time-series from the stock assessment, explaining similar to 30% of the variability. This research highlights the potential to predict recruitment using habitat-based methods and provides a potential mechanism for explaining some of the POP recruitment variability observed for this population.

Implications for Fluxes of Energy and Mass AN - 1113220889; 17257435 AB - Sonic anemometers are capable of measuring the wind speed in all three dimensions at high frequencies (10-50 Hz), and are relied upon to estimate eddy-covariance-based fluxes of mass and energy over a wide variety of surfaces and ecosystems. In this study, wind-velocity measurement errors from a three-dimensional sonic anemometer with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation were estimated for over 100 combinations of angle-of-attack and wind direction using a novel technique to measure the true angle-of-attack and wind speed within the turbulent atmospheric surface layer. Corrections to the vertical wind speed varied from -5 to 37% for all angles-of-attack and wind directions examined. When applied to eddy-covariance data from three NOAA flux sites, the wind-velocity corrections increased the magnitude of CO sub(2) fluxes, sensible heat fluxes, and latent heat fluxes by approximately 11%, with the actual magnitude of flux corrections dependent upon sonic anemometer, surface type, and scalar. A sonic anemometer that uses vertically aligned transducers to measure the vertical wind speed was also tested at four angles-of-attack, and corrections to the vertical wind speed measured using this anemometer were within plus or minus 1% of zero. Sensible heat fluxes over a forest canopy measured using this anemometer were 15% greater than sensible heat fluxes measured using a sonic anemometer with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation. These results indicate that sensors with a non-orthogonal transducer orientation, which includes the majority of the research-grade three-dimensional sonic anemometers currently in use, should be redesigned to minimize sine errors by measuring the vertical wind speed using one pair of vertically aligned transducers.

Various modifications to conventional vessel operations have been recently used to reduce the threat. Some of the modifications have been instituted by coastal states as a result of their adoption by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) - a specialized agency of the United Nations that is the recognized authority for international maritime shipping interests and their safety of navigation at sea. We describe the processes through which coastal states can approach the IMO to seek review and adoption of environmental conservation proposals involving international shipping. We also provide a description of vessel navigation modifications in specific geographic areas where IMO-adopted measures to protect large whales have been implemented - there are only 10 such cases and we describe each. We then address the methods that can and have been used to assess the effectiveness of such measures. As weighed against the goals of the modifications by estimating the ensuing reduced risk to whales, actions taken are generally regarded as being successful in reducing the risk, but to varying degrees. We conclude that the IMO can be a powerful entity in providing solutions to a range of marine environmental and conservation problems. When used in concert with related efforts such as mariner education, the IMO, and the range of navigational measures available to it, is an effective forum through which coastal states can pursue large whale conservation objectives without unduly compromising the activities of shipping interests.

AN - 1033159081; 22622161 AB - Recently, the applications of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) related techniques have extended from ex situ nanoscale characterization of structure and chemistry of products to dynamic measurements of nanostructures during reaction processes. Commercially available modified TEM specimen holders and TEM columns are being routinely employed to follow the structural and chemical changes at elevated temperatures and even under controlled atmosphere. Experiments performed under these rigorous conditions require careful considerations to avoid undesirable effects from the gas impurities or contaminations from TEM grids and/or holders. The reactivity of sample, grid, holder, TEM components, and gaseous environments must be evaluated for each reaction process. This tutorial is aimed to outline some of the important factors that should be considered for experimental set up used for in situ observations to ensure the results are comparable to the ones obtained during ex situ experiments under identical conditions.

17252854 AB - The vertical structure of freely evolving, continuously stratified, quasi-geostrophic flow is investigated. We predict the final state organization, and in particular its vertical structure, using statistical mechanics and these predictions are tested against numerical simulations. The key role played by conservation laws in each layer, including the fine-grained enstrophy, is discussed. In general, the conservation laws, and in particular that enstrophy is conserved layer-wise, prevent complete barotropization, i.e. the tendency to reach the gravest vertical mode. The peculiar role of the beta effect, i.e. of the existence of planetary vorticity gradients, is discussed. In particular, it is shown that increasing beta increases the tendency toward barotropization through turbulent stirring. The effectiveness of barotropization may be partially parameterized using the Rhines scale 2 pi E sub(0) super(1/4) / beta super(1/2). As this parameter decreases ( beta increases) then barotropization can progress further, because the beta term provides enstrophy to each layer. However, if the beta effect is too large then the statistical mechanical predictions fail and wave dynamics prevent complete barotropization.

DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2012.344 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Transmission of acoustic-gravity waves through gas-liquid interfaces AN - 1221137066; 17252851 AB - It was demonstrated recently that gas-liquid interfaces, which are usually almost perfect reflectors of acoustic waves, become anomalously transparent, and the power flux in the wave transmitted into the gas increases dramatically, when a compact sound source in the liquid approaches the interface within a fraction of the wavelength (Godin, Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 97, 2006b, 164301). Powerful underwater explosions and certain natural sources, such as underwater landslides, generate very low-frequency waves in water and air, for which fluid buoyancy and compressibility simultaneously serve as restoring forces. In this paper, analysis of sound transmission through gas-liquid interfaces is extended to acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) and applied to the air-water interface. It is found that, as for sound, the interface becomes anomalously transparent for sufficiently shallow compact sources of AGWs. Depending on the source type, the increase of a wave power flux into gas due to diffraction effects can reach several orders of magnitude. The physical mechanisms responsible for the anomalous transparency are discussed. Excitation of an interface wave by a point source in the liquid is shown to be an important channel of AGW transmission into the gas, which has no counterpart in the case of sound.

AN - 1316369653; 15526 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of runway safety areas (RSAs) for two runways at the Kodiak Island Airport on Kodiak Island, Alaska is proposed. Kodiak Airport is situated along the shoreline of Womens Bay to the southwest and St. Paul Harbor to the northeast, in Chiniak Bay. The Buskin River and its estuary flow into the ocean and are located directly north of the Airport. The U.S. Coast Guard owns the Kodiak Airport lands and facilities and leases these to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. The RSAs at the ends of runways 18/36 and 7/25 do not meet the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standard for the aircraft commonly using these runways. Due to natural physical barriers and runway length requirements, relocation or re-alignment of runways, reduction in runway length, and declared distances were determined to not be reasonable alternatives for improving the RSAs. The proposed project would involve fill into submerged lands that are a part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. Key issues include those related to natural resources and recreation near the Buskin River, cultural/traditional issues and subsistence, socioeconomics, and threatened, endangered, and sensitive species. This draft EIS considers three alternatives for runway 07/25 and seven alternatives for runway 18/36, including No Action alternatives for comparison. The preferred alternative for runway 07/25 (Alternative 2) would improve the RSA on the primary, east-west runway by placing fill into marine waters east of runway end 25. A 600-foot long RSA would be constructed that includes an engineered materials arresting system (EMAS) bed measuring 340 feet long by 170 feet wide. The preferred alternative for runway 18/36 (Alternative 7) would improve the RSAs on both ends of the north-south runway. At the north, runway end 18, no additional disturbance would occur beyond the current airport boundary, but an EMAS bed measuring about 155 feet long by 170 feet wide would be installed on the existing pavement. At the south, runway end 36, the runway would be shifted 240 feet further south, and a 360-foot RSA would be constructed, for a combined 600 linear feet of new fill beyond the existing runway threshold. Construction of the proposed project would occur over approximately two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The safety improvements would meet FAA standards to the extent practicable by the statutory deadline of December 31, 2015. The improvements would make Kodiak Airport safer for all passengers and pilots, and reduce the potential for damage to planes in the event of a runoff overshoot, undershoot, or veeroff. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would result in placement of 339,090 cubic yards of clean fill material in 17.8 acres of intertidal and subtidal waters of the U.S. and 0.11 acre of wetlands. Runway 07/25 Alternative 2 would change the substrate, gradient, and freshwater influence of existing habitats, resulting in major impacts to Buskin River salmonids. Fill placed off of Runway end 36 into St. Paul Harbor would have a direct, adverse effect on marine waters with concurrent direct loss of aquatic habitat and substrate. Five special-status waterbird species, Northern sea otter, and Steller sea lion would be affected. Subsistence resources that are tied to the cultural practices of the local Alaska Native community may be significantly affected in the long-term and the decline in salmonid abundance would reduce the value of the Buskin River State Recreation Site in terms of sport fishing.

The governments of India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Maldives issued tsunami warnings for their coastlines. The United States' Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) issued an Indian Ocean-wide Tsunami Watch Bulletin in its role as an Interim Service Provider for the region. Using an experimental real-time tsunami forecast model (RIFT), PTWC produced a series of tsunami forecasts during the event that were based on rapidly derived earthquake parameters, including initial location and Mwp magnitude estimates and the W-phase centroid moment tensor solutions (W-phase CMTs) obtained at PTWC and at the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). We discuss the real-time forecast methodology and how successive, real-time tsunami forecasts using the latest W-phase CMT solutions improved the accuracy of the forecast.

Drainage modification and agricultural development in southern Florida transport sediments and nutrients from watershed agricultural areas to Lake Okeechobee. As a result of development around Lake Okeechobee and the estuaries that are connected to Lake Okeechobee, estuarine conditions have also been adversely impacted, resulting in salinity and nutrient fluctuations. The measurement of water turbidity in lacustrine and estuarine ecosystems allows researchers to understand important factors such as light limitation and the potential release of nutrients from re-suspended sediments. Based on a strong correlation between water turbidity and normalized water-leaving radiance at the near-infrared (NIR) band (nLw(869)), a new satellite water turbidity algorithm has been developed for Lake Okeechobee. This study has shown important applications with satellite-measured nLw(869) data for water quality monitoring and measurements for turbid inland lakes. MODIS-Aqua-measured water property data are derived using the shortwave infrared (SWIR)-based atmospheric correction algorithm in order to remotely obtain synoptic turbidity data in Lake Okeechobee and normalized water-leaving radiance using the red band (nLw(645)) in the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries. We found varied, but distinct seasonal, spatial, and event driven turbidity trends in Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuary regions. Wind waves and hurricanes have the largest influence on turbidity trends in Lake Okeechobee, while tides, currents, wind waves, and hurricanes influence the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuarine areas.

The conference addressed a broad scope of topics beyond academic science to include challenges of globalization, climate change, and social and economic issues. Participants included researchers and others with expertise in multiple fields: policy and decision making, law, industry, nongovernmental organizations, circumpolar communities, and indigenous peoples. The challenge of translating academic and other forms of knowledge into societal benefits dominated the event.

Site selection was based on a probabilistic approach to determine the spatial extent and magnitude of PBDE concentrations with known confidence intervals. Coastal embayments (including estuaries, marinas, ports, and bays) and the continental shelf out to the lower slope were sampled. Thirteen PBDEs were detected at 92 of the sites, with a geometric mean and maximum of 4.7 and 560 ng/g dry weight (sum of 13 congeners), respectively. The PBDE concentrations were higher in coastal embayments than in offshore locations. Embayments had an area-weighted geometric mean total PBDE concentration of 12 (95% confidence interval, 8.0-17) ng/g dry weight and a total PBDE mass of 110 (77-160) kg. The offshore stratum, which is 99% of the total area, had an area-weighted geometric mean total PBDE concentration of 2.0 (1.6-2.5) ng/g dry weight and a total PBDE mass of 860 (700-1,100) kg. The five highest PBDE concentrations were associated with the mouths of urban rivers, indicating that urban runoff is likely a major input of PBDEs to these coastal marine waters. The outfalls of wastewater treatment plants were not observed to be major sources. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2012; 31:2239-2245.

The response rate was higher to the university survey, but support for the March of Dimes increased survey participation to the same extent in both conditions. As a result of the overrepresentation of supporters of the organization, both surveys showed nonresponse bias for variables linked to support. The bias was greater, however, when the sponsor was identified as the March of Dimes. Thus, the university sponsor brought in not only more of the sample but also a more representative sample on variables related to support for the March of Dimes. Overall, the magnitude of the relationship between support for the organization and nonresponse was not a strong predictor of the magnitude of the nonresponse bias. The results demonstrate that the simple "common cause" model of nonresponse will not always apply, and that the model should be extended to incorporate multiple auxiliary variables.

Even then, only accessible pores can be investigated with these methods. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ultra small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) are increasingly used to characterize the size distribution of all of the pores non-destructively. Here we have used USANS/SANS to examine 24 well-characterized bituminous and subbituminous coals: three from the eastern US, two from Poland, one from New Zealand and the rest from the Sydney and Bowen Basins in Eastern Australia, and determined the relationships of the scattering intensity corresponding to different pore sizes with other coal properties. The range of pore radii examinable with these techniques is 2.5nm to 7mu m. We confirm that there is a wide range of pore sizes in coal. The pore size distribution was found to be strongly affected by both rank and type (expressed as either hydrogen or vitrinite content) in the size range 250nm to 7mu m and 5 to 10nm, but weakly in intermediate regions. The results suggest that different mechanisms control coal porosity on different scales. Contrast-matching USANS and SANS were also used to determine the size distribution of the fraction of the pores in these coals that are inaccessible to deuterated methane, CD (sub 4) , at ambient temperature. In some coals most of the small ( approximately 10nm) pores were found to be inaccessible to CD (sub 4) on the time scale of the measurement ( approximately 30min-16h). This inaccessibility suggests that in these coals a considerable fraction of inherent methane may be trapped for extended periods of time, thus reducing the effectiveness of methane release from (or sorption by) these coals. Although the number of small pores was less in higher rank coals, the fraction of total pores that was inaccessible was not rank dependent. In the Australian coals, at the 10nm to 50nm size scales the pores in inertinites appeared to be completely accessible to CD (sub 4) , whereas the pores in the vitrinite were about 75% inaccessible. Unlike the results for total porosity that showed no regional effects on relationships between porosity and coal properties, clear regional differences in the relationships between fraction of closed porosity and coal properties were found. The 10 to 50nm-sized pores of inertinites of the US and Polish coals examined appeared less accessible to methane than those of the inertinites of Australian coals. This difference in pore accessibility in inertinites may explain why empirical relationships between fluidity and coking properties developed using Carboniferous coals do not apply to Australian coals.

American Community Survey Briefs. ACSBR/11-04 AN - 1312420091; ED537269 AB - Individuals make a variety of choices over the course of their careers that impact their earning potential. These choices include how far to go in school, what to study in school, and what job to take. This brief explores the relationship between how far one goes in school (educational attainment) and how much money one might make over the course of a career (work-life earnings). It goes into further detail for people whose highest degree is a bachelor's by investigating how college major (field of degree) and occupation impact these work-life earnings. The U.S. Census Bureau has developed an estimate of the amount of money a person might expect to make over the course of a career called the Synthetic Work-Life Earnings (SWE) estimate. This estimate is an illustrative example of the magnitude of differences in earnings based on factors such as education and occupation added up over a work life. This brief uses data from the American Community Survey (ACS) to demonstrate that educational attainment, college major, and occupation all affect work-life earnings.

Data on field of bachelor's degree was first collected in the American Community Survey (ACS) in 2009. Respondents who reported that their highest degree completed was a bachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree, or doctorate degree were asked to write in the specific major(s) of their bachelor's degree. Respondents with more than one bachelor's degree, or with more than one major field, were allowed to report multiple fields of degree. This brief examines only the first field of degree reported. Identification of the field of degree was collected only for the bachelor's degree. (Contains 1 figure, 3 tables, and 5 footnotes.)

To address this deficiency, we investigated the estuarine ecology of juvenile salmonids and their associated fish assemblage in open-water habitats of the lower Columbia River estuary during spring of 2007-10. For coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye (O. nerka), chum (O. keta), and yearling (age 1.0) Chinook (O. tshawytscha) salmon, and steelhead (O. mykiss), we observed a consistent seasonal pattern characterized by extremely low abundances in mid-April, maximum abundances in May, and near absence by late June. Subyearling (age 0.0) Chinook salmon were most abundant in late June. Although we observed interannual variation in the presence, abundance, and size of juvenile salmonids, no single year was exceptional across all species-and-age classes. We estimated that >90% of juvenile Chinook and coho salmon and steelhead were of hatchery origin, a rate higher than previously reported. In contrast to juvenile salmonids, the abundance and composition of the greater estuarine fish assemblage, of which juvenile salmon were minor members, were extremely variable and likely responding to dynamic physical conditions in the estuary. Comparisons with studies conducted 3 decades earlier suggest striking changes in the estuarine fish assemblage--changes that have unknown but potentially important consequences for juvenile salmon in the Columbia River estuary.

However, the correlation between spawning biomass and reproductive potential is not always strong, and it likely is weakest in the tropics and subtropics, where species tend to exhibit indeterminate fecundity and release eggs in batches over a protracted spawning season. In such cases, computing annual reproductive output requires estimates of batch fecundity and the annual number of batches--the latter subject to spawning frequency and duration of spawning season. Batch fecundity is commonly measured by age (or size), but these other variables are not. Without the relevant data, the annual number of batches is assumed to be invariant across age. We reviewed the literature and found that this default assumption lacks empirical support because both spawning duration and spawning frequency generally increase with age or size. We demonstrate effects of this assumption on measures of reproductive value and spawning potential ratio, a metric commonly used to gauge stock status. Model applications showed substantial sensitivity to age dependence in the annual number of batches. If the annual number of batches increases with age but is incorrectly assumed to be constant, stock assessment models would tend to overestimate the biological reference points used for setting harvest rates. This study underscores the need to better understand the age-or size-dependent contrast in the annual number of batches, and we conclude that, for species without evidence to support invariance, the default assumption should be replaced with one that accounts for age- or size-dependence.

Because rockfishes are long lived and relatively slow growing, large, short-term shifts in population abundance are not likely. We attribute the variations in biomass estimates to the high variability in the spatial distribution of rockfishes that is not well accounted for by the survey design currently used. We evaluated the performance of an experimental survey design, the Trawl and Acoustic Presence/Absence Survey (TAPAS), to reduce the variability in estimated biomass for Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus). Analysis of archived acoustic backscatter data produced an acoustic threshold for delineating potential areas of high ("patch") and low ("background") catch per unit of effort (CPUE) in real time. In 2009, we conducted a 12-day TAPAS near Yakutat, Alaska. We completed 59 trawls at 19 patch stations and 40 background stations. The design performed well logistically, and Pacific ocean perch (POP) accounted for 55% of the 31 metric tons (t) of the catch from this survey. The resulting estimates of rockfish biomass were slightly less precise than estimates from simple random sampling. This difference in precision was due to the weak relationship of CPUE to mean volume backscattering and the relatively low variability of POP CPUE encountered. When the data were re-analyzed with a higher acoustic threshold than the one used in the field study, performance was slightly better with this revised design than with the original field design. The TAPAS design could be made more effective by establishing a stronger link between acoustic backscatter and CPUE and by deriving an acoustic threshold that allows better identification of backscatter as that from the target species.

Here, we systematically measure how citrate, dextran, 5 and 20 kDa poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) coatings affect AgNP agglomeration, dissolution, and toxicity. In addition, to disentangle the coatings' effects on agglomeration from their other effects, we produce multiple stable agglomerate sizes of several of the coated ~23 nm AgNPs ranging from singly-dispersed to mean agglomerate sizes of several hundred nanometers. These dispersions allow us to independently study the effects of agglomeration and polymer coating on dissolution rate and hemolytic toxicity. We find that both hemolytic toxicity and dissolution rate are highest for the 5 kDa PEG coating, and toxicity and dissolution rate decrease significantly with increasing agglomerate size independent of coating. This correlation between toxicity and dissolution rate suggests that both polymer coating and agglomeration may affect hemolytic toxicity largely through their effects on dissolution. Because both the AgNP dissolution rate and hemolysis decrease only moderately compared to the large increases in agglomerate size, AgNPs' hemolytic toxicity may be caused by their large surface area and consequently high dissolution rate, rather than from other size-specific effects. At the silver concentrations used in this work, silver dissolved from AgNPs is expected to be primarily in the form of AgCl NPs, which are therefore more likely than Ag super(+) ions to be the primary drivers of hemolytic toxicity. In addition, all AgNPs we tested are much more toxic to horse red blood cells than sheep red blood cells, highlighting the complexity of toxic responses and the need to test toxicity in multiple biological systems.

Solid-phase reaction products were analyzed with EXAFS, TEM, and XRD following fermentative reduction of uranium-loaded ferric hydroxide precursors with 0.01 and 0.05 cation mole fraction (CMF) U by cultures of Thermoanaerobacter sp. strain TOR-39. Only minor changes could be distinguished between 3 and 51 months for most slurries. Magnetite, goethite, uraninite, and minor akaganeite were present after 3 months at both U-CMFs. Akaganeite was not detected by XRD after 3 months, but was still observed by TEM after 50 months. Increasing uranium in the starting slurries led to a greater proportion of oxidized iron in the solid-phase products. Euhedral goethite and subhedral to euhedral magnetite were observed at all times. Uraninite was observed in clusters of <10 nm particles without any particular relationship to the iron minerals. HRTEM imaging indicated that even the smallest uraninite particles were well crystallized, with textures that remained consistent throughout the duration of experiments. X-ray absorption spectra after 3 months indicated 100% and 96.4% U(IV) in 0.01 and 0.05 CMF U slurries, respectively. EXAFS spectra were consistent with uraninite at both uranium levels, plus additional non-uraninite U(IV) for 0.05 CMF U. One 0.05 CMF U culture slurry was found to have a lower pH and a more oxidized final iron mineral assemblage; in this case uraninite was not observed by XRD, but large (101 nm average diameter) rounded uraninite grains were observed by TEM. These grains were observed in chains or aggregates often connected by necks, in textures suggestive of biological influence. HRTEM demonstrated each grain was composed of poorly oriented, primary, 2-5 nm uraninite crystallites. Uraninite crystal growth occurred by nanoparticle aggregation, but ripening was not observed even though incubation temperatures were held at 65 degrees C for 20 days. Thus, previous studies of biogenic nanoparticulate uraninite short-term reactivity are likely to be representative of systems aged over a period of years.

Comparing to the previous two generations of NCEP global reanalyses, this is the first time a coupled land-atmosphere data assimilation system is included in a global reanalysis. Global observed precipitation is used as direct forcing to drive the land surface analysis, rather than the typical reanalysis approach of using precipitation assimilating from a background atmospheric model simulation. Global observed snow cover and snow depth fields are used to constrain the simulated snow variables. This paper describes 1) the design and implementation of GLDAS/LIS in CFSR, 2) the forcing of the observed global precipitation and snow fields, and 3) preliminary results of global and regional soil moisture content and land surface energy and water budgets closure. With special attention made during the design of CFSR GLDAS/LIS, all the source and sink terms in the CFSR land surface energy and water budgets can be assessed and the total budgets are balanced. This is one of many aspects indicating improvements in CFSR from the previous NCEP reanalyses.

To fulfill the mandate and address the challenge put forth by the NRC, two GEO-CAPE Science Working Groups (SWGs), representing the atmospheric composition and ocean color disciplines, have developed realistic science objectives using input drawn from several community workshops. The GEO-CAPE mission will take advantage of this revolutionary advance in temporal frequency for both of these disciplines. Multiple observations per day are required to explore the physical, chemical, and dynamical processes that determine tropospheric composition and air quality over spatial scales ranging from urban to continental, and over temporal scales ranging from diurnal to seasonal. Likewise, high-frequency satellite observations are critical to studying and quantifying biological, chemical, and physical processes within the coastal ocean. These observations are to be achieved from a vantage point near 95 degree -100 degree W, providing a complete view of North America as well as the adjacent oceans. The SWGs have also endorsed the concept of phased implementation using commercial satellites to reduce mission risk and cost. GEO-CAPE will join the global constellation of geostationary atmospheric chemistry and coastal ocean color sensors planned to be in orbit in the 2020 time frame.

The projections are from four regional climate models (RCMs) that are part of the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). All four RCMs project 2 degree C or higher increases in T sub(min) and T sub(max) for all seasons. However, there are much greater (>3 degree C) increases in T sub(max) during summer at higher elevations and in T sub(min) during winter at lower elevations. T sub(max) increases during summer are associated with drying conditions. The models simulate large reductions in latent heat fluxes and increases in sensible heat fluxes that are, in part, caused by decreases in precipitation and soil moisture. T sub(min) increases during winter are found to be associated with decreases in surface snow cover, and increases in soil moisture and atmospheric water vapor. The increased moistening of the soil and atmosphere facilitates a greater diurnal retention of the daytime solar energy in the land surface and amplifies the longwave heating of the land surface at night. We hypothesize that the presence of significant surface moisture fluxes can modify the effects of snow-albedo feedback and results in greater wintertime warming at night than during the day.

An Empirical, Multi-Species Approach AN - 1125225054; 17216206 AB - The exchange of individuals among habitat patches (connectivity) has broad relevance for the conservation and management of marine metapopulations. Elemental fingerprinting-based research conducted over the past 12 years along the open coastline and bays of San Diego County in southern California evaluated connectivity patterns for seven species: one native and two invasive mussels, an oyster, a brachyuran crab, and two fishes. The studies spanned different years and seasons but overlapped considerably in space, allowing comparisons of dispersal patterns across species, and assessment of the relative importance of location, circulation, and intra-annual and inter-annual variability. We asked whether the species exhibited commonalities in directional transport, transport distances, sources and sinks, self-recruitment, and bay-ocean exchange. Linked connectivity-demographic analyses conducted for two species of mytilid mussels and two fishes allowed evaluation of the contributions of realized connectivity to metapopulation dynamics relative to other life-history attributes. Common trends across species include average along-shore dispersal distances of 15-35 km and seasonal changes in direction of dispersal that mirrored patterns of along-shore circulation. We observed greater isolation of back-bay populations, significant exchange from front bay to ocean, and high self-recruitment in locations on the northern, open coast, and in the southern bays. Connectivity was rarely the most influential driver of growth and persistence of metapopulations, but influenced the importance of other vital rates. Several locations served consistently as sources of larvae or as nurseries for multiple species, but there were few sites in common that were sinks. For the mussels, reproductive timing guided directional transport. These results imply that local management (e.g., habitat protection, opening of the mouths of lagoons, location of aquaculture farms) may be effective along this coastline. Regional, multi-species assessments of exchange of larvae should move us closer to ecosystem-based management.

We find that factors that cannot be measured using standard cross‐ ;sectional data, including the entry and exit of firms and the sorting of workers across firms, are important sources of changes in earnings distributions over time. Our results also suggest that the dynamics driving changes in earnings inequality are heterogeneous across industries.

In this paper, we describe the temperature dependence of swimming performance and behavioral characteristics of juvenile Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus; 75-125 mm total length). Maximum swimming speeds increased with temperature and body size. Routine swimming speeds of Pacific cod in small groups of similarly sized fish (N = 6) increased with body size and were 34 % faster at 9 degree C than at 2 degree C. The response to temperature was opposite that previously described for juvenile walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), reflecting species-specific differences in behavioral responses. In a separate experiment, we demonstrated the effect of temperature on habitat selection of juvenile Pacific cod: Use of an artificial eelgrass patch in a 5-m-long laboratory tank was significantly greater at 9 degree C than at 2 degree C. These results illustrate that temperature affects a range of behavioral traits that play important roles in determining the frequency and outcomes of predator-prey interactions.

AN - 1113221500; 17217411 AB - The coupling between tropical convection and zonally propagating gravity waves is assessed through Fourier analysis of high-resolution (3-hourly, 0.5 degree ) satellite rainfall data. Results show the familiar enhancement in power along the dispersion curves of equatorially trapped inertia-gravity waves with implied equivalent depths in the range 15-40 m (i.e., pure gravity wave speeds in the range 12-20 m s super(-1)). Here, such wave signals are seen to extend all the way down to zonal wavelengths of around 500 km and periods of around 8 h, suggesting that convection-wave coupling may be important even in the context of mesoscale squall lines. This idea is supported by an objective wave-tracking algorithm, which shows that many previously studied squall lines, in addition to "2-day waves," can be classified as convectively coupled inertia-gravity waves with the dispersion properties of shallow-water gravity waves. Most of these disturbances propagate westward at speeds faster than the background flow. To understand why, the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) Model is used to perform some near-cloud-resolving simulations of convection on an equatorial beta plane. Results indicate that low-level easterly shear of the background zonal flow, as opposed to steering by any mean flow, is essential for explaining the observed westward-propagation bias.

There is also evidence from observational and modeling studies for an elevation-dependent climate response within some mountain regions. Our understanding of climate change in mountains, however, remains challenging owing to inadequacies in observations and models. In fact, it is still uncertain whether mountainous regions generally are warming at a different rate than the rest of the global land surface, or whether elevation-based sensitivities in warming rates are prevalent within mountains. We review studies of four high mountain regions - the Swiss Alps, the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Tibetan Plateau/Himalayas, and the Tropical Andes - to examine questions related to the sensitivity of climate change to surface elevation. We explore processes that could lead to enhanced warming within mountain regions and possible mechanisms that can produce altitudinal gradients in warming rates on different time scales. A conclusive understanding of these responses will continue to elude us in the absence of a more comprehensive network of climate monitoring in mountains.

TT - Efectos Interactuantes de la Translocacion, Propagacion Artificial y Condiciones Ambientales sobre la Supervivencia Marina de Salmon Chinook del Rio Columbia, Washington, E.U.A. AN - 1093461308; 17159228 AB - Abstract:Captive rearing and translocation are often used concurrently for species conservation, yet the effects of these practices can interact and lead to unintended outcomes that may undermine species' recovery efforts. Controls in translocation or artificial-propagation programs are uncommon; thus, there have been few studies on the interacting effects of these actions and environmental conditions on survival. The Columbia River basin, which drains 668,000 km2 of the western United States and Canada, has an extensive network of hydroelectric and other dams, which impede and slow migration of anadromous Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) and can increase mortality rates. To mitigate for hydrosystem-induced mortality during juvenile downriver migration, tens of millions of hatchery fish are released each year and a subset of wild- and hatchery-origin juveniles are translocated downstream beyond the hydropower system. We considered how the results of these practices interact with marine environmental conditions to affect the marine survival of Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha). We analyzed data from more than 1 million individually tagged fish from 1998 through 2006 to evaluate the probability of an individual fish returning as an adult relative to its rearing (hatchery vs. wild) and translocation histories (translocated vs. in-river migrating fish that traveled downriver through the hydropower system) and a suite of environmental variables. Except during select periods of very low river flow, marine survival of wild translocated fish was approximately two-thirds less than survival of wild in-river migrating fish. For hatchery fish, however, survival was roughly two times higher for translocated fish than for in-river migrants. Competition and predator aggregation negatively affected marine survival, and the magnitude of survival depended on rearing and translocation histories and biological and physical conditions encountered during their first few weeks of residence in the ocean. Our results highlight the importance of considering the interacting effects of translocation, artificial propagation, and environmental variables on the long-term viability of species.Original Abstract: Resumen:La reproduccion en cautiverio y la translocacion a menudo son utilizadas concurrentemente para la conservacion de especies, pero los efectos de estas practicas pueden interactuar y llevar a resultados no esperados que pueden socavar los esfuerzos para la recuperacion de especies. Los controles en los programas de translocacion o propagacion artificial no son comunes; por lo tanto, ha habido pocos estudios sobre los efectos interactuantes de estas acciones y las condiciones ambientales sobre la supervivencia. La cuenca del Rio Columbia, que drena 668,000 km2 del oeste de Estados Unidos y Canada, tiene una red extensa de presas hidroelectricas y de otros tipos, que impiden y retrasan la migracion del salmon anadromo (Oncorhynchus spp.) y pueden incrementar las tasas de mortalidad. Para mitigar la mortalidad inducida por el hidrosistema durante la migracion de juveniles rio abajo, cada ano se liberan decenas de millones de peces criados en piscifactorias y un subconjunto de juveniles de origen silvestre y de piscifactoria es translocado rio abajo mas alla del sistema hidroelectrico. Consideramos como los resultados de estas practicas interactuan con las condiciones ambientales marinas para afectar la supervivencia marina del salmon Chinook (O. tshawytscha). Analizamos los datos de mas de un millon de peces marcados individualmente desde 1998 a 2006 para evaluar la probabilidad de que un pez individual regrese como adulto a su sitio de reproduccion (piscifactoria versus silvestre) y las historias de translocacion (translocados versus peces migrantes que viajaron rio abajo a traves del sistema hidroelectrico) y un conjunto de variables ambientales. Excepto durante periodos selectos de flujo muy bajo en el rio, la supervivencia marina de peces silvestres translocados fue aproximadamente dos tercios menos que la supervivencia de peces silvestres migrantes. Sin embargo, para peces de piscifactoria, la supervivencia fue dos veces mayor en peces translocados que en migrantes. La competencia y la agregacion de depredadores afectaron negativamente la supervivencia marina, y la magnitud de la supervivencia dependio de las historias de crianza y translocacion y de condiciones biologicas y fisicas encontradas durante las primeras semanas de residencia en el oceano. Nuestros resultados destacan la importancia de considerar los efectos interactuantes de la translocacion, la propagacion artificial y las condiciones ambientales sobre la viabilidad a largo plazo de especies.

D. vexillum can inflict ecological and economic damage through biofouling and habitat modification. Natural and anthropogenic processes that fragment colonies of D. vexillum may be accelerating the spread of this invader. Reattachment success and fragment viability were confirmed in the laboratory after four weeks of suspension in experimental aquaria. The shape of suspended D. vexillum fragments progressed from flattened to globular spheres and then flattened again after reattachment to the substrate. Reproductive activity, confirmed by the presence of eggs and larvae, was observed for fragments suspended up to 3 weeks suggesting that D. vexillum is capable of reproducing while in a fragmented, suspended state. An index of colony health was used to monitor change in D. vexillum health while in suspension. Overall, colony health declined with time in suspension although colonies that appeared dead (black and gray in overall color) still contained a substantial number of healthy live zooids. These results suggest that activities that cause fragmentation can significantly facilitate the spread of D. vexillum. Coastal managers should consider reducing or eliminating, when practical, activities that return fragmented colonies of D. vexillum to the water. In-water cleaning of biofouling and dredging are likely expediting the spread of this invasive species unless biofouling can be contained and removed from the water.

AN - 1041139722; 22825886 AB - Exposure to chemical contaminants is often invoked to explain recruitment failures to populations of sturgeon worldwide, but there is little empirical evidence to support the idea that young sturgeon are sensitive at environmentally relevant concentrations. The authors used shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostum) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) as models to investigate the sensitivities of sturgeon to early-life-stage toxicities from embryonic exposures to graded doses of polychlorinated biphenyl 126 (PCB126) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Survival to hatching of shortnose sturgeon decreased with increasing dose, although the duration of the embryonic period was not significantly altered by exposure in either species. Morphometric features of larvae of both species were affected by dose, including shortening of the body, reduction in head size, reduction in quantity of yolk reserves, and reduction in eye size. Eye development in both species was delayed with increasing dose for both chemicals. The persistence of larvae in a food-free environment decreased inversely with dose in both species, with sharp declines occurring at PCB126 and TCDD doses of ≥1 ppb and ≥0.1 ppb, respectively. Dose-responsive early-life-stage toxicities reported here are among the more sensitive found in fish and occurred at burdens similar to those found in situ in a sympatric bottom-dwelling bony fish in the Hudson River Estuary.

In a number of cases with strong gradients in opposing, partially blocking current, wave heights are significantly overestimated. Ris and Holthuijsen (1996) propose that such overestimations are due to insufficient steepness dissipation of waves on an opposing current gradient. The present paper presents a new formulation for the enhanced breaking dissipation of waves on negative current gradients (accelerating opposing current; decelerating following current). Nonlinear effects are not included in detail for these partial blocking conditions, but handled parametrically. Unlike the expression by Ris and Holthuijsen (1996), the proposed expression isolates the steepening effect of the current gradient on the waves, so that inherently steep young wind sea is not overly dissipated. This expression contains one additional unknown parameter, which was calibrated using laboratory observations. Validation of this enhanced dissipation term for field cases of the Amelander Zeegat tidal inlet (Dutch Wadden Sea) shows an improvement in the tidal channel for both opposing and following current situations with negative gradients. In particular, the results for the young wind sea on the tidal flats are not significantly affected, as desired, unlike with the expression of Ris and Holthuijsen (1996). However, since the remaining dissipation terms in SWAN have been calibrated without this enhanced dissipation term, the addition of the proposed formulation results in some deterioration of the overall statistics.

In turn, engineering models of building evacuation use these variables to predict the performance of egress systems for building design, emergency planning, or event reconstruction. As part of a program to better understand occupant movement and behavior during building emergencies, the Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been collecting stairwell movement data during fire drill evacuations of office buildings. These data collections are intended to provide a better understanding of this principal building egress feature and develop a technical foundation for future codes and standards requirements. To date, NIST has collected fire drill evacuation data in eight office building occupancies ranging from 6 to 62 stories in height that have included a range of stairwell widths and occupant densities. While average movement speeds in the current study of 0.48m/s plus or minus 0.16m/s are observed to be quite similar to the range of literature values, local movement speeds as occupants traverse down the stairwell are seen to vary widely within a given stairwell, ranging from 0.056m/s to 1.7m/s. These data should provide confirmation of the adequacy of existing literature values typically used for occupant movement speeds or provide updated values for future analyses.

This perception changed dramatically with the publication 50 years ago of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1). The book was the start of a debate that continues to this day on the relative benefits and risks of not just pesticides but all synthetic chemicals.

In this work, an analysis of the influence of changes in oxidant levels and sulfur dioxide oxidation pathways was performed to study the underlying pathways for sulfate formation. Sensitivities of this constituent were calculated from a series of photochemical model simulations with varying rates of NO sub(x) and VOC emissions to produce variations in oxidant abundances using a photochemical model (CMAQ) that covers the eastern US for part of the ICARTT 2004 campaign. Three different chemical mechanisms (CBIV, CB05, and SAPRC99) were used to test model responses to changes in NO sub(x) and VOC concentrations. Comparison of modeled results and measurements demonstrates that the simulations with all three chemical mechanisms capture the levels of sulfate reasonably well. However, the three mechanisms are shown to have significantly different responses in sulfate formation when the emissions of NO sub(x) and/or VOC are altered, reflecting different photochemical regimes under which the formation of sulfate occurs. Also, an analysis of the oxidation pathways that contribute to sulfur dioxide conversion to sulfate reveals substantial differences in the importance of the various pathways among the three chemical mechanisms. These findings suggest that estimations of the influence that future changes in primary emissions or other changes which perturb SO sub(2) oxidants have on sulfate abundances, and on its direct and indirect radiative forcing effects, may be dependent on the chemical mechanism employed in the model analysis.

While CO sub(2) enhancements in the basin were similar between the two years, the Delta CO/ Delta CO sub(2) ratio had decreased by about a factor of two. The Delta VOC/ Delta CO emission ratios stayed relatively constant between the two years. This indicates that, relative to CO sub(2), VOCs in the LA basin also decreased by about a factor of two since 2002. These data are compared with the results from various previous field campaigns dating back as early as 1960 and from the extensive air quality monitoring system in the LA basin going back to 1980. The results show that the mixing ratios of VOCs and CO have decreased by almost two orders of magnitude during the past five decades at an average annual rate of about 7.5%. Exceptions to this trend are the small alkanes ethane and propane, which have decreased slower due to the use and production of natural gas. A comparison with trends in London, UK shows that, due to stricter regulations at the time, VOC mixing ratios in LA decreased earlier than in London, albeit at a slower rate, such that typical mixing ratios in both cities in 2008 were at about the same level.

We analyze boundary layer climatology over Europe and the continental U.S. using a measure of boundary layer height based on the bulk Richardson number. Seasonal and diurnal variations during 1981-2005 are estimated from radiosonde observations, a reanalysis that assimilates observations, and two contemporary climate models that do not. Data limitations in vertical profiles introduce height uncertainties that can exceed 50% for shallow boundary layers (<1 km) but are generally <20% for deeper boundary layers. Climatological heights are typically <1 km during daytime and <0.5 km at night over both regions. Seasonal patterns for daytime and nighttime differ; daytime heights are larger in summer than winter, but nighttime heights are larger in winter. The four data sets show similar patterns of spatial and seasonal variability but with biases that vary spatially, seasonally, and diurnally. Compared with radiosonde observations, the reanalysis and the climate models produce deeper layers due to difficulty simulating stable conditions. The higher-time-resolution reanalysis reveals the diurnal cycle in height, with maxima in the afternoon, and with amplitudes that vary seasonally (larger in summer) and regionally (larger over western U.S. and southern Europe). The lower-time-resolution radiosonde data and climate model simulations capture diurnal variations better over Europe than over the U.S., due to differences in local sampling times.

In contrast to previous studies employing one-dimensional analysis of data along profiles, our results cannot be biased by unseen off-track topography. The mean coherence averaged over the 20-160 km waveband, and the shortest wavelength at which coherence is above 0.5, vary with tectonic setting. Seamounts and slow spreading ridges have high (>0.7) mean coherence down to nearly equal 20 km wavelength, other spreading ridges and trenches have intermediate (0.5-0.7) coherence down to nearly equal 20-30 km wavelength, and continental shelves have low (<0.5) coherence at all wavelengths. In the areas with highest mean coherence, the shortest wavelength at which coherence is above 0.5 decreases as mean depth decreases. The filter employed in the bathymetric prediction method of Smith and Sandwell (J Geophys Res 99(B11):21803-21824, 1994) selects the most coherent parts of the bathymetry and gravity spectrum.

This report updates GLERL's 33-winter ice climatology dataset for total ice concentration (Assel 2003, Assel 2005). Data processing and quality control procedures, file structure, format, and naming conventions are described. The data are available as fixed formatted ASCII grids (2.55 km for winter 2006 and 1.275 km for winters 2007-2011) and has been converted to ArcMap feature classes for GIS users. Temporal distribution of the ice charts is summarized in tables. A planned companion report will contain an analysis of these data including spatial patterns of dates of first ice, last ice, ice duration, and ice concentration anomalies [relative to a 30-winter (1973-2002) base period] for each lake by winter season. It will also contain lake averages of total ice cover concentration that portray the seasonal progression of ice cover each winter.

Here we describe a hybrid method that identifies distinct thermal components in a stream's heat budget using only temperature data and an algorithm that employs mutual information to "unmix" signals in the temperature data. Spatial resolution is limited only by the number of temperature-logging sensors, which can be quite high for distributed-temperature sensors. Process resolution is at the level of thermal components, defined as distinct collections of heat flux elements sharing coordinated (nonindependent) dynamics. Inference can be used to relate thermal components to meteorological forcing and structural heterogeneity in the fluvial system and to suggest novel hypotheses for further testing with targeted heat budget studies. Applying the method to a small, arid-land creek produced two novel hypotheses: (1) lateral conduction of heat from adjacent dry land (bed, terraces) appeared to cause a substantial heating of the stream, augmented by off-channel flow paths, and (2) riparian vegetation was associated with a subtraction of heat from the stream at a rate proportionate to solar insolation, exceeding the maximum decoupling effect of shade by at least 2 degree C at midday, and suggesting upwelling heat flux from water to tree canopy proportional to sunlight. The method appears useful for generating new hypotheses, for selecting informative sites for detailed heat budgets, for determining the dimensionality of heat budgets in natural streams, and more broadly for associating thermal components to fluvial structure and processes. Key Points * DTS is a useful tool for ecological assessment of riparian thermal habitats * LDCA and DTS illuminate heating and cooling mechanisms in space and time * The riparian canopy appears to subtract heat from the stream JF - Water Resources Research AU - Boughton, David A AU - Hatch, Christine AU - Mora, Ethan AD - Fisheries Ecology Division, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, Santa Cruz, California, USA., David.Boughton@noaa.gov Y1 - 2012/09// PY - 2012 DA - Sep 2012 SP - [np] PB - American Geophysical Union, 2000 Florida Ave., N.W.

The extent to which the various filters (seasonal, seasonal adjustment, trend, and irregular) contain these unit root factors determines whether the filters reproduce or annihilate (i) polynomial functions of time, and (ii) fixed seasonal effects. This article catalogs which unit root factors are contained by the various filters for the most common approaches to model-based seasonal adjustment, and for X-II seasonal adjustment with or without forecast extension. Both symmetric and asymmetric filters are considered. Adapted from the source document. JF - Journal of Official Statistics AU - Bell, William R AD - U. S. Census Bureau, Washington. DC 20233.

Information theory provides a measure of the quantity of information in a list of classifications which can be used to produce an appropriate index of agreement. A normalized weighted mutual information index improves upon the traditional intercoder agreement index in a number of ways, key being that there is no need to develop a model of error generation before use; comparison across experiments is easier; and that ratings are based on the distribution of agreement across categories, not just an overall agreement level.

By spreading within their historical range, attaining extreme abundances, and exerting severe per-capita effects as a result of predation or competition, native invaders can create an unusual set of challenges for science, management, policy, and society. Identifying when, where, and why species become invaders in their native ranges requires additional scientific inquiry, outside the current focus of invasion biology. Management strategies often mitigate the symptoms rather than address the causes of problematic native species invasions. Convincing stakeholders to comply with management actions aimed at controlling native invaders creates societal challenges and policy makers must prioritize goals from varied and often conflicting human interests. We illustrate these challenges by highlighting native species that adversely affect threatened and endangered Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp).

C., and Pfeiffer, L. 2012. Why economics matters for understanding the effects of climate change on fisheries. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: .Research attempting to predict the effect of climate change on fisheries often neglects to consider how harvesters respond to changing economic, institutional, and environmental conditions, which leads to the overly simplistic prediction of "fisheries follow fish". However, climate effects on fisheries can be complex because they arise through physical, biological, and economic mechanisms that interact or may not be well understood. Although most researchers find it obvious to include physical and biological factors in predicting the effects of climate change on fisheries, the behaviour of fish harvesters also matters for these predictions. A general but succinct conceptual framework for investigating the effects of climate change on fisheries that incorporates the biological and economic factors that determine how fisheries operate is presented. The use of this framework will result in more complete, reliable, and relevant investigations of the effects of climate change on fisheries. The uncertainty surrounding long-term projections, however, is inherent in the complexity of the system.

The second estimate of real GDP growth was revised up 0.2 percentage point from the advance estimate, reflecting a downward revision to imports and upward revisions to consumer spending, to exports, and to state and local government spending that were partly offset by downward revisions to inventory investment and to nonresidential fixed investment. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 2.0%. Consumer spending slowed in the second quarter, adding 1.20 percentage points to real GDP growth after adding 1.72 percentage points in the first quarter. Slowdowns in both durable and nondurable goods were partly offset by a pickup in services. Exports accelerated, contributing 0.82 percentage point to real GDP growth after contributing 0.60 percentage point. A pickup in goods exports was partly offset by a slowdown in services exports.

AABW has warmed globally during that time, contributing roughly 10% of the recent total ocean heat uptake. This warming implies a global-scale contraction of AABW. Rates of change in AABW-related circulation are estimated in most of the world's deep-ocean basins by finding average rates of volume loss or gain below cold, deep potential temperature ([thetas]) surfaces using all available repeated hydrographic sections. The Southern Ocean is losing water below [thetas] = 0 degree C at a rate of -8.2 ( plus or minus 2.6) 10 super(6) m super(3) s super(-1). This bottom water contraction causes a descent of potential isotherms throughout much of the water column until a near-surface recovery, apparently through a southward surge of Circumpolar Deep Water from the north. To the north, smaller losses of bottom waters are seen along three of the four main northward outflow routes of AABW. Volume and heat budgets below deep, cold [thetas] surfaces within the Brazil and Pacific basins are not in steady state. The observed changes in volume and heat of the coldest waters within these basins could be accounted for by small decreases to the volume transport or small increases to [thetas] of their inflows, or fractional increases in deep mixing. The budget calculations and global contraction pattern are consistent with a global-scale slowdown of the bottom, southern limb of the MOC.

We estimated that 460 (4.4%) Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra) chicks on Clipperton Island (10 degree 18' N, 109 degree 13' W) in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean exhibited angel wing during March 2005. Both hatching-year birds and after-hatching-year birds exhibited the condition; the latter included seven flightless birds in adult plumage (i.e., minimum 2 yrs of age) which were still being fed by their presumed parents. The angel wing outbreak coincided in time with high nestling mortality, apparently related to food shortage, and we speculate on causal linkages.

The authors propose a multiplicative inflation algorithm that inflates the posterior ensemble in proportion to the amount that observations reduce the ensemble spread, resulting in more inflation in regions of dense observations. This is justified since the posterior ensemble variance is more affected by sampling errors in these regions. The algorithm is similar to the "relaxation to prior" algorithm proposed by Zhang et al., but it relaxes the posterior ensemble spread back to the prior instead of the posterior ensemble perturbations. The new inflation algorithm is compared to the method of Zhang et al. and simple constant covariance inflation using a two-level primitive equation model in an environment that includes model error. The new method performs somewhat better, although the method of Zhang et al. produces more balanced analyses whose ensemble spread grows faster. Combining the new multiplicative inflation algorithm with additive inflation is found to be superior to either of the methods used separately. Tests with large and small ensembles, with and without model error, suggest that multiplicative inflation is better suited to account for unrepresented observation-network-dependent assimilation errors such as sampling error, while model errors, which do not depend on the observing network, are better treated by additive inflation. A combination of additive and multiplicative inflation can provide a baseline for evaluating more sophisticated stochastic treatments of unrepresented background errors. This is demonstrated by comparing the performance of a stochastic kinetic energy backscatter scheme with additive inflation as a parameterization of model error.

While most of these model research and development activities are focused on predicting hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific domains, there has been much interest in using these models for tropical cyclone prediction in the North Indian Ocean region, particularly for Bay of Bengal storms that are known historically causing severe damage to life and property. In this study, the advanced operational hurricane modeling system developed at NCEP, known as the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast (HWRF) model, is used to simulate two recent Bay of Bengal tropical cyclones-Nargis of November 2007 and Sidr of April 2008. The advanced NCEP operational vortex initialization procedure is adapted for simulating these Bay of Bengal tropical cyclones. Two additional regional models, the NCAR Advanced Research WRF and NCAR/Penn State University Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5) are also used in simulating these storms. Results from these experiments highlight the superior performance of HWRF model over other models in predicting the Bay of Bengal cyclones. These results also suggest the need for a sophisticated vortex initialization procedure in conjunction with a model designed exclusively for tropical cyclone prediction for operational considerations.

The experimental HWRF (HWRFx) is adopted to study the intensity change problem at the highest possible resolutions with the existing computing facility, using moving nests to focus the model resolution in the vicinity of the storms. Although this is at an early stage of development, results from real-time experiments in the 2008 hurricane season show that the HWRFx is generally comparable to the NOAA operational models, in terms of the accuracy of both track and intensity forecasts. The HWRFx, however, has a negative bias in the intensity forecasts as opposed to the positive biases of the NOAA operational models. We present in this article a brief description of the HWRFx and its performance during the 2008 hurricane season in comparison with the NOAA operational models.

In cold environments, developing fish have the additional constraint of maintaining membrane fluidity for metabolic efficiency (homeoviscous adaptation), resulting in further demand on lower melting point FAs like n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). To examine whether marine fish embryos physiologically adapt to changing temperature environments, we incubated Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) eggs at 5 temperatures (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 degree C) in the laboratory and sampled them repeatedly during development to measure changes in lipid/FA composition. Pacific cod embryos increased n-3 PUFA content during the egg stage in all temperature treatments, with the possible exception of 0 degree C, where poor survival and hatch success limited our ability for continued sampling. At the beginning of the hatch cycle, free-swimming embryos shifted from lipogenesis to lipid catabolism. The rates of lipogenesis and catabolism were temperature dependent, and the distinct increase in unsaturated fatty acids at temperatures <8 degree C was consistent with homeoviscous adaptation theory. However, with the possible exception of embryos at 0 degree C, the relative amounts of essential fatty acids (e.g., EPA, DHA, AA) were conserved in a similar manner across incubation temperatures. Collectively, these data suggest Pacific cod are capable of homeoviscous adaptation but cannot tolerate temperatures approaching 0 degree C despite their possible ability to biosynthesize PUFAs from other energetic sources.

The ability to detect hybridization and introgression between the two species would be greatly improved by the development of more diagnostic markers validated across the two species' many phylogenetic lineages. Here, we describe 81 novel genetic markers and associated assays for discriminating the genomes of these sister species. These diagnostic nucleotide polymorphisms were discovered by sequencing of rainbow trout expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in a diverse panel of both cutthroat trout and steelhead/rainbow trout. The resulting markers were validated in a large number of lineages of both species, including all extant subspecies of cutthroat trout and most of the lineages of rainbow trout that are found in natural sympatry with cutthroat trout or used in stocking practices. Most of these markers (79%) distinguish genomic regions for all lineages of the two species, but a small number do not reliably diagnose coastal, westslope and/or other subspecies of cutthroat trout. Surveys of natural populations and hatchery strains of trout and steelhead found rare occurrences of the alternative allele, which may be due to either previous introgression or shared polymorphism. The availability of a large number of genetic markers for distinguishing genomic regions originating in these sister species will allow the detection of both recent and more distant hybridization events, facilitate the study of the evolutionary dynamics of hybridization and provide a powerful set of tools for the conservation and management of both species.

Similar to tropical rainforests and their insects, the majority of reef animal species are small and cryptic, living in the cracks and crevices of structural taxa (trees and corals). Although the cryptofauna make up the majority of a reef's metazoan biodiversity, we know little about their basic ecology. We sampled motile cryptofaunal communities from both live corals and dead carbonate reef framework across a gradient of increasing erosion on a reef in Pacific Panama. A total of 289 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) from six phyla were identified. We used species-accumulation models fitted to individual- and sample-based rarefaction curves, as well as seven nonparametric richness estimators to estimate species richness among the different framework types. All procedures predicted the same trends in species richness across the differing framework types. Estimated species richness was higher in dead framework (261-370 OTUs) than in live coral substrates (112-219 OTUs). Surprisingly, richness increased as framework structure was eroded: coral rubble contained the greatest number of species (227-320 OTUs) and the lowest estimated richness of 47-115 OTUs was found in the zone where the reef framework had the greatest vertical relief. This contradicts the paradigm that abundant live coral indicates the apex of reef diversity.

However, recent declines in the biomass of commercially valuable Hawaiian black corals question whether regulations need to be redefined for sustainable harvesting. Fishery management efforts are complicated by the limited information on the basic life history and reproduction of black corals. To address this knowledge gap, we used histological techniques to investigate sexual reproductive processes within Antipathes griggi, the dominant species targeted by the fishery. Our results indicate that A. griggi is likely gonochoric with a 1:1 sex ratio and has an annual reproductive cycle. Furthermore, the percentage of polyps containing gametes dropped continuously throughout the reproductive season, indicating that spawning occurs in successive events with greatest intensity between November and December. Current fishing regulations prohibit harvesting of colonies <90 cm in height in state waters, and colonies <120 cm in height in federal waters. This study indicates that 80% meeting the state harvesting limit, and 90% of colonies meeting the federal limit, are sexually mature. Therefore, increasing these minimum size harvesting limits would ensure that more colonies can reproduce before being exposed to fishing mortality. Although A. griggi can be found to depths of 100 m, it is rare below the 75 m depth limit at which commercial harvest occurs in Hawai'i. Thus, the supposed depth refuge from harvest does not really exist.

Here those linkages are drawn for the California Current on the US West Coast, by combining a fishery ecosystem model (Atlantis) with an economic model (IO-PAC) that traces how changes in seafood landings impact the broader economy. The potential effects of broad fisheries management options are explored, including status quo management, switching effort from trawl to other gears, and spatial management scenarios. Relative to Status Quo, the other scenarios here involved short-term ex-vessel revenue losses, primarily to the bottom trawl fleet. Other fleets, particularly the fixed gear fleet that uses pots and demersal longlines, gained revenue in some scenarios, though spatial closures of Rockfish Conservation Areas reduced revenue to fixed gear fleets. Processor and wholesaler revenue tracked trends in the bottom trawl fleet, which accounted for 58% of total landings by value. Income impacts (employee compensation and earnings of business owners) on the broader economy mirrored the revenue trends. The long-term forecast (15 years) from the Atlantis ecosystem model predicted substantial stock rebuilding and increases in fleet catch. The 15 year projection of Status Quo suggested an additional ~$27 million in revenue for the fisheries sectors, and an additional $23 million in income and 385 jobs in the broader economy, roughly a 25% increase. Linking the ecological and economic models here has allowed evaluation of fishery management policies using multiple criteria, and comparison of potential economic and conservation trade-offs that stem from management actions.

The Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) closes the area between depth contour based boundaries to commercial trawl fishing. In this analysis, commercial fishing vessels are grouped based on their level of fishing effort within the closed area prior to the closure in order to compare changes in effort levels between groups. The results suggest that the RCA may have had a small effect on the level of fishing effort in the California groundfish trawl fishery. Spatial distribution of fishing effort before and after implementation of the marine reserve is also compared. Some concentration of effort occurred along parts of the closed area boundaries. This pattern suggests the ''fishing the line'' behavior noted in the marine reserve literature, but other possible explanations exist including the effects of coincident changes in other regulations and changing bioeconomic conditions.

Yet, about 1% of all one- and two-family dwelling fires occur in homes protected by sprinklers. It has been argued that measured sprinkler performance has ignored factors confounding the relationship between sprinkler use and performance. In this analysis, sprinkler performance is measured by comparing 'like' structure fires, while conditioning on smoke detection technology and neighborhood housing and socioeconomic conditions, using propensity score matching. Results show that residential fire sprinklers protect occupant and firefighter health and safety, and are comparable to other life-safety technologies.

Among other parameters, natural mortality, M, and the parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated using data poor methods. We assess the difference between those results and the results of applying a more recent set of data poor methods to the same data. We use a Bayesian model with only sheephead length data to estimate asymptotic size; our estimate is similar to previous work using the von Bertalanffy growth equation but includes statements about uncertainty in asymptotic size. We use weight-based methods for calculating age-specific mortality and compare the estimate to the constant of 0.2 used in the sheephead assessment. Finally, since the sheephead is a long-lived fish, we determine the age at which fish must recruit to the fishery in order for a constant M to be appropriate. Our estimate of constant mortality stabilizes if the fish recruit after age two.

Beach water and sand samples were analyzed during summer months for S. aureus, enterococci, and MRSA at three southern California beaches (Avalon, Doheny, Malibu Surfrider). S. aureus frequently was detected in samples of seawater (59%, n = 328) and beach sand (53%, n = 358). MRSA sometimes was detected in seawater (1.6%, n = 366) and sand (2.7%, n = 366) at relatively low concentrations. Site specific differences were observed, with Avalon Beach presenting the highest concentrations of S. aureus and Malibu Surfrider the lowest in both seawater and sand. S. aureus concentrations in seawater and sand were correlated to each other and to a variety of other parameters. Multiple linear regression on the combined beach data indicated that significant explanatory variables for S. aureus in seawater were S. aureus in sand, water temperature, enterococci in seawater, and the number of swimmers. In sand, S. aureus concentrations were related to S. aureus in seawater, water temperature, enterococci in seawater, and inversely to surf height classification. Only the correlation to water temperature held for individually analyzed beaches and for S. aureus concentrations in both seawater and sand. To provide context for these results, the prevalence of S. aureus in sand was compared to published fomite studies, and results suggested that beach prevalence was similar to that in homes.

AN - 1282511860; 15482 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to Interstate 5 (I-5) from La Jolla Village Drive in the City of San Diego to Harbor Boulevard in the City of Oceanside, California are proposed. Located in San Diego Countys north coastal area, the 27-mile I-5 North Coast Corridor connects the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar and San Diego. The corridor is one of the most traveled highways in the nation and there have been minimal improvements to the existing facility since the original construction during the 1960's and 1970's. The draft EIS of June, 2010 assessed four build alternatives that would include one or two high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) managed lanes in each direction, auxiliary lanes where needed, and possibly one general purpose lane in each direction. A locally preferred alternative (LPA) was identified in July, 2011. The LPA is the 8+4 Buffer Alternative, also known as the I-5 Express Lanes, and would consist of two HOV/managed lanes in each direction, separated by a buffer from the existing four general purpose lanes in each direction. The HOV/managed lanes would be available for carpools, vanpools, and buses at no cost, and to single-occupant vehicles for a fee when there is sufficient capacity. Six bridges over lagoons would be redesigned with a minimum width of 194 feet. This draft supplemental EIS summarizes project design features and discusses new information obtained from additional studies conducted at the lagoons and lagoon crossings in the North Coast Corridor. New bridges are now proposed at Agua Hedionda, San Elijo, Batiquitos, and Buena Vista lagoons, with longer bridges proposed at the latter three lagoons. In addition, a number of enhancements have been developed for the project including pedestrian, bicycle, park and ride, gateway, streetscape, and park enhancements. The North Coast Bikeway would complement the Coastal Rail Trail and the El Camino Bicycle Corridor, as well as the California Coastal Trail. The cost for the LPA is estimated at $3.3 billion in 2010 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would maintain or improve future traffic levels of service, provide a facility that is compatible with future bus rapid transit and other modal options, provide consistency with the regional transportation plan, and maintain I-5 as an effective link in the national strategic highway network. Longer bridge lengths would enhance lagoon function. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the LPA would result in 249 acres of new impervious area and require mitigation for impacts to farmland and federal wetlands. A total of 17.6 acres of wetlands and 62.6 acres of sensitive upland habitat would be impacted. Changes to the existing visual environment along the project corridor would make it noticeably more urban.

Water, methane, and hydrogen are transported to the stratosphere through upwelling in tropical regions (3). This upwelling followed by downwelling and horizontal transport in the extratropical stratosphere-the Brewer-Dobson circulation-is widely held to control the water vapor abundance in the stratosphere (see the figure). But could there be a more direct transport of tropospheric air containing water vapor into the stratosphere via convection outside the tropics (4-7)? On page 835 of this issue, Anderson et al. (8) argue that there is evidence for water vapor enhancements in the mid-latitude lower stratosphere. They further argue that increased water vapor levels could enhance ozone depletion caused by human-emitted ozone-depleting substances and thus raise ultraviolet radiation levels at Earth's surface.

UFP have been shown to be associated with adverse health effects such as DNA damage and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the effectiveness of kitchen exhaust hoods in reducing indoor levels of UFP emitted from a gas stove and oven. Measurements in an unoccupied manufactured house monitored size-resolved UFP (2nm to 100nm) concentrations from the gas stove and oven while varying range hood flow rate and burner position. The air change rate in the building was measured continuously based on the decay of a tracer gas (sulfur hexafluoride, SF6). The results show that range hood flow rate and burner position (front vs. rear) can have strong effects on the reduction of indoor levels of UFP released from the stove and oven, subsequently reducing occupant exposure to UFP. Higher range hood flow rates are generally more effective for UFP reduction, though the reduction varies with particle diameter. The influence of the range hood exhaust is larger for the back burner than for the front burner. The number-weighted particle reductions for range hood flow rates varying between 100m3/h and 680m3/h range from 31% to 94% for the front burner, from 54% to 98% for the back burner, and from 39% to 96% for the oven.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of ALEX to simulate the effect of soil-surface leaf litter residue on soil heat conduction (G), sensible heat (H), evapotranspiration (ET) (or latent heat (LE) when expressed as rate of energy loss) and CO2 fluxes in a deciduous forest. The model was evaluated in a deciduous forest in Oak Ridge, Tennessee where about 550gm-2 of dry weight of slow decomposing leaf litter is produced annually during the fall season. Incorporating an explicit formulation of water and energy exchanges within the residue layer in ALEX improved the performance of the model against eddy covariance and G measurements. The discrepancies between model simulations made with and without leaf litter residue were largest during the spring and fall, when soil contributions dominated the energy budget of the forest. During these periods, particularly during the spring, without the inclusion of the residue layer the model overpredicted LE, G, soil temperature and soil moisture, and underpredicted H. The model showed no differences in simulating above-canopy net radiation (RN), with a slight difference in the above-canopy CO2 flux. The largest model improvement for residue effects was in the simulation of G, with the slope of the regression line between predicted and measured values reduced from 2.28 for the model without residue effects to 1.07 when the residue effect was considered.

AN - 1013762322; 22504373 AB - The trophic transfer of sediment-associated pollutants is a growing concern in shellfish harvesting areas. Previous studies have examined the role of phytoplankton in the transport of organic contaminants to bivalve species, but little information on microphytobenthic communities and their role as contaminant vectors exists. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds formed during natural and industrial processes; they are termed "persistent organic pollutants" because they are only slowly degraded by natural processes. This study examined the transfer of PAH compounds (naphthalene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene) by a microphytobenthic diatom to the eastern oyster, a commercially important shellfish species, to determine if dietary accumulation is a route of contaminant exposure capable of inducing physiological responses. PAH compounds were adsorbed to a diatom culture (Nitzschia brevirostris) in a range of concentrations (5, 125, 625, and 1000 μg L(-1)), and eastern oysters were exposed experimentally to the contaminated diatom cultures to assess possible effects upon oyster hemocytes and selected immune-defense functions. A preliminary experiment was designed to identify individual effects of several PAH compounds (naphthalene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene) on hemocyte viability and phagocytic activity. Results from this experiment revealed that the most-toxic compound, benzo(a)pyrene, at the highest concentration, stimulated an increase in agranular hemocyte counts. A follow-up study examined the effects of benzo(a)pyrene on hemocyte viability, adhesion, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These studies showed the ability of this benthic diatom to transport PAHs to the eastern oyster and to cause immunomodulation. Hemocyte responses to dietary PAH exposure included an increase in circulating hemocytes and increased production of reactive oxygen species by these cells. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AN - 1240203131; 15454 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive effort to restore flows and a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery to the San Joaquin River in the Central Valley of California is proposed. The Friant Dam, which was completed in 1944, diverted San Joaquin River water supplies to over one million acres of highly productive farmland along the eastern portion of the San Joaquin Valley. Operation of the dam ceased flow in some portions of the river, and substantially impacted salmon runs upstream from the confluence with the Merced River. In 1988, a coalition of environmental groups filed a lawsuit challenging the renewal of long-term water service contracts between the United States and Central Valley Project (CVP) Friant Division contractors. The San Joaquin River Restoration Program is based on the settlement agreement of Natural Resources Defense Council et al., v. Rodgers, et al. reached on September 13, 2006. The agreement calls for releases of water from Friant Dam (referred to as interim and restoration flows), a combination of channel and structural modifications along the San Joaquin River below Friant Dam, and reintroduction of spring-run and fall-run Chinook salmon. In addition, the settlement agreement calls for recirculation, recapture, reuse, exchange, or transfer of the interim and restoration flows to reduce or avoid impacts to water deliveries to all of the Friant Division long-term contractors. A recovered water account and recovered water program would be established to make water available to all of the contractors who provide water to meet interim or restoration flows. The draft EIS of April 2011 evaluated a No Action Alternative and six action alternatives which differ in the amount of flow that would be routed through Reach 4B1, and the way water would be recaptured. All the action alternatives would modify operation of the Lower San Joaquin River Flood Control Project to convey interim and restoration flows. Modifications would include reoperation of the Chowchilla Bypass Bifurcation Structure, the San Joaquin River Headgate Structure, and the Eastside and Mariposa bypass bifurcation structures. This final EIS includes responses to comments on the draft EIS and identifies Alternative C1 as the preferred alternative. Alternative C1 would convey 475 cubic feet per second and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta using a new pumping plant that would be constructed at a location below the confluence of the Merced River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would foster the restoration of naturally reproducing and self-sustaining populations of salmon and other fish while reducing or avoiding adverse impacts to water deliveries to the Friant Division long-term contractors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Physical and operational actions would affect the San Joaquin River and associated flood bypass system, tributaries to the San Joaquin River, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and water service areas of the CVP and State Water Project, including the Friant Division. Uncertainty exists as to the amount of water supply reduction the Friant Division contractors would experience. Potential impacts include construction-related emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, changes in groundwater and surface water levels, conversion of important farmland, diminishment of agricultural land resource quality, conflicts with adopted land use plans, and reduced water supply.

Here we present a global-scale high-resolution (0.1 degree ) mapping of sources based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue estimates of dust optical depth in conjunction with other data sets including land use. We ascribe dust sources to natural and anthropogenic (primarily agricultural) origins, calculate their respective contributions to emissions, and extensively compare these products against literature. Natural dust sources globally account for 75% of emissions; anthropogenic sources account for 25%. North Africa accounts for 55% of global dust emissions with only 8% being anthropogenic, mostly from the Sahel. Elsewhere, anthropogenic dust emissions can be much higher (75% in Australia). Hydrologic dust sources (e.g., ephemeral water bodies) account for 31% worldwide; 15% of them are natural while 85% are anthropogenic. Globally, 20% of emissions are from vegetated surfaces, primarily desert shrublands and agricultural lands. Since anthropogenic dust sources are associated with land use and ephemeral water bodies, both in turn linked to the hydrological cycle, their emissions are affected by climate variability. Such changes in dust emissions can impact climate, air quality, and human health. Improved dust emission estimates will require a better mapping of threshold wind velocities, vegetation dynamics, and surface conditions (soil moisture and land use) especially in the sensitive regions identified here, as well as improved ability to address small-scale convective processes producing dust via cold pool (haboob) events frequent in monsoon regimes.

However, little has been done to account for hydrologic variability and basin size in these criteria. To account for the previous in this study, an existing applicability criteria for routing methods is linked analytically to a model of peak flow, a simple stochastic representation of rainfall, and relationships of river basin geomorphology. This linkage provides a novel way for understanding and quantifying the interrelationship between basin-scale hydrologic phenomena and routing methods. Using this linkage, the aim of this paper is to explore and assess the applicability of routing methods in strongly coupled systems or headwater basins. To illustrate and assess the linkage, the Illinois River basin is used. From this assessment, the diffusive and dynamic contributions are both found to increase for the general condition of an increasing peak flow and decreasing time to peak at a given basin size. After accounting for scale dependencies, the mean diffusive and dynamic contributions are found to increase with the basin size. The rate of increase seems controlled by the interplay between the slope-area relationship and the scaling of the time to peak, which in turn depends here on both the mean rainfall duration and the time of concentration. In terms of the annual maximum flood series, the dynamic and diffusive contributions show decreasing and increasing trends, respectively, as a function of the basin size for a fixed return period. The latter is found to depend on the scaling of peak floods and the slope-area relationship. For a fixed basin size, both the diffusive and dynamic contributions are found to increase with the return period. The developed framework is able to provide insight at the basin scale into the influence of hydrologic controls arising from climate, runoff, and geomorphology on the applicability of routing methods.

17055791 AB - The use of ethanol as a transportation fuel in the U.S. increased significantly from 2000-2009, and in 2010 nearly all gasoline contained 10% ethanol. In accordance with this increased use, atmospheric measurements of volatile organic compounds in Los Angeles in 2010 were significantly enriched in ethanol compared to measurements in urban outflow in the Northeast U.S. in 2002 and 2004. Mixing ratios of acetaldehyde, an atmospheric oxidation product of ethanol, decreased between 2002 and 2010 in Los Angeles. Previous work has suggested that large-scale use of ethanol may have detrimental effects on air quality. While we see no evidence for this in the U.S., our study indicates that ethanol has become a ubiquitous compound in urban air and that better measurements are required to monitor its increase and effects.

AN - 1237020911; 15448 AB - PURPOSE: A restoration plan to address damage to natural resources, such as fish, shellfish, sediments, and water quality in the Lower Duwamish River (LDR), King County, Washington is proposed. The Elliott Bay Trustee Council is developing the LDR Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) to determine the extent of injuries to natural resources caused by releases of hazardous substances. Concurrently, the Trustees are conducting restoration planning to guide decision-making regarding restoration activities. The Duwamish River, once a meandering river with thousands of mudflats and wetlands, was channelized and narrowed through filling projects by the 1940's. The river flows through a highly industrial area and numerous facilities line its banks, including port facilities, manufacturing plants, chemical and solid waste recycling companies, ship repair yards, numerous combined sewer outfalls, and over 200 storm drains. Contaminants vary throughout the waterway, including polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, metals, phthalates, and dioxins/furans. Cleanup of the highly industrial LDR is being addressed through programs authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in a draft programmatic EIS issued in May 2009. Species-specific restoration (Alternative 2) would consist of planning and implementing individual NRDA restoration efforts to benefit specific species or small groups of species. Under this alternative, there would be more flexibility in locating restoration projects and the possible variety of projects would be greater. Integrated habitat restoration (Alternative 3) is the preferred alternative and would involve actions primarily to restore certain types of habitats that support a range of species. Typical restoration actions under this alternative would include removal of intertidal fill to restore mudflats, marsh, and/or riparian habitats, creation of off-channel areas, removal of creosote pilings and overwater structures that shade habitats, and softening shorelines. This draft supplemental EIS provides more detail about the injury assessment and restoration valuation methodology. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The restoration of key estuarine and riparian habitats would benefit the range of resources injured by releases of hazardous substances in the LDR. Chinook salmon and Puget Sound steelhead would benefit from additional habitat. An improved ecosystem would support both natural resources and human use. The creation of more natural habitat along the river would enhance kayaking and boating recreation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Temporary impacts during construction would include increased dust, noise and exhaust fumes; disturbance of soils and sediments; removal of vegetation for bank regrading; and increased turbidity. Restoration efforts would have uncertainty risks due to the highly-modified nature of the LDR shoreline and the variety of materials that have been used as fill. LEGAL MANDATES: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) and Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.).

Understanding what educators want in terms of data has been equally difficult for scientists. From 2004 to 2009, we conducted annual workshops that brought together scientists, data providers, data analysis tool specialists, educators, and curriculum developers to better understand data use, access, and user-community needs. All users desired more access to data that provide an opportunity to conduct queries, as well as visual/graphical displays on geoscience data without the barriers presented by specialized data formats or software knowledge. Presented here is a framework for examining data access from a workflow perspective, a redefinition of data not as products but as learning opportunities, and finally, results from a Data Use Survey collected during six workshops that indicate a preference for easy-to-obtain data that allow users to graph, map, and recognize patterns using educationally familiar tools (e.g., Excel and Google Earth).

Orient Point-Fishers Island end moraine segment in westernmost Block Island Sound reveal extensive deformation. A rhythmic seismic facies indicates the host outwash deposits are composed of fine-grained glaciolacustrine sediments. The deformation is variably brittle and ductile, but predominantly compressive in nature. Brittle deformation includes reverse faults and thrust faults that strike parallel to the moraine, and thrust sheets that extend from beneath the moraine. Ductile deformation includes folded sediments that overlie undisturbed deposits, showing that they are not drape features. Other seismic evidence for compression along the ice front consists of undisturbed glaciolacustrine strata that dip back toward and underneath the moraine, and angular unconformities on the sea floor where deformed sediments extend above the surrounding undisturbed correlative strata. Together, these ice-marginal glaciotectonic features indicate that the Orient Point-Fishers Island moraine marks a significant readvance of the Laurentide ice sheet, consistent with existing knowledge for neighboring coeval moraines, and not simply a stillstand as previously reported.

Historical events are important for understanding the frequency and intensity of relatively recent tsunamis. Deposit data collected during post-tsunami field surveys provide information on tsunami erosion, sedimentation, flow depths, inundation, and run-up. Deposit data from prehistoric tsunami events extend the record to pre-recorded times, constrain tsunami recurrence intervals, and estimate the minimum magnitude of tsunami inundation. Proxies indicate that an event capable of producing a tsunami occurred, but are not direct evidence of a tsunami. All of these data are used to develop tsunami hazard assessments, provide guidance to warning centers, validate models, inform community preparedness efforts, and educate the public about tsunami risks.

The overwash, after crossing a fringing coral reef and 1.5 km of shallow subtidal flats, cut dozens of breaches through sandy beach ridges, deposited a sheet of sand and shell capped with lime mud, and created inland fields of cobbles and boulders. Most of the breaches extend tens to hundreds of meters perpendicular to a 2-km stretch of Anegada's windward shore. Remnants of the breached ridges stand 3 m above modern sea level, and ridges seaward of the breaches rise 2.2-3.0 m high. The overwash probably exceeded those heights when cutting the breaches by overtopping and incision of the beach ridges. Much of the sand-and-shell sheet contains pink bioclastic sand that resembles, in grain size and composition, the sand of the breached ridges. This sand extends as much as 1.5 km to the south of the breached ridges. It tapers southward from a maximum thickness of 40 cm, decreases in estimated mean grain size from medium sand to very fine sand, and contains mud laminae in the south. The sand-and-shell sheet also contains mollusks-cerithid gastropods and the bivalve Anomalocardia-and angular limestone granules and pebbles. The mollusk shells and the lime-mud cap were probably derived from a marine pond that occupied much of Anegada's interior at the time of overwash. The boulders and cobbles, nearly all composed of limestone, form fields that extend many tens of meters generally southward from limestone outcrops as much as 0.8 km from the nearest shore. Soon after the inferred overwash, the marine pond was replaced by hypersaline ponds that produce microbial mats and evaporite crusts. This environmental change, which has yet to be reversed, required restriction of a former inlet or inlets, the location of which was probably on the island's south (lee) side. The inferred overwash may have caused restriction directly by washing sand into former inlets, or indirectly by reducing the tidal prism or supplying sand to post-overwash currents and waves. The overwash happened after A.D. 1650 if coeval with radiocarbon-dated leaves in the mud cap, and it probably happened before human settlement in the last decades of the 1700s. A prior overwash event is implied by an inland set of breaches. Hypothetically, the overwash in 1650-1800 resulted from the Antilles tsunami of 1690, the transatlantic Lisbon tsunami of 1755, a local tsunami not previously documented, or a storm whose effects exceeded those of Hurricane Donna, which was probably at category 3 as its eye passed 15 km to Anegada's south in 1960.

Value added by affiliates totaled $649.3 billion in 2010, up from a revised $592.5 billion in 2009. Majority-owned US affiliates employed 5.3 million workers in 2010, a decline of 0.4%. The increase in value added by affiliates followed 2 years of declines during the slowdown in the US economy in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, value added by affiliates rose significantly more rapidly than the overall US economy. The more rapid increase was partly due to the concentration of US affiliates in industries that grew substantially in 2010, namely those in finance and in certain manufacturing sectors. In 2010, the diverging directions of affiliate employment and value added mirrored a similar pattern in the US economy as a whole. Adapted from the source document.

However, analysis methods for these data have not developed at a similar pace, largely due to a lack of suitable candidate models, coupled with the technical difficulties of fitting such models to data. To facilitate a general modeling framework, we propose that complex movement paths can be conceived as a series of movement strategies among which animals transition as they are affected by changes in their internal and external environment. We synthesize previously existing and novel methodologies to develop a general suite of mechanistic models based on biased and correlated random walks that allow different behavioral states for directed (e.g., migration), exploratory (e.g., dispersal), area-restricted (e.g., foraging), and other types of movement. Using this "toolbox" of nested model components, multistate movement models may be custom-built for a wide variety of species and applications. As a unified state-space modeling framework, it allows the simultaneous investigation of numerous hypotheses about animal movement from imperfectly observed data, including time allocations to different movement behavior states, transitions between states, the use of memory or navigation, and strengths of attraction (or repulsion) to specific locations. The inclusion of covariate information permits further investigation of specific hypotheses related to factors driving different types of movement behavior. Using reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to facilitate Bayesian model selection and multi-model inference, we apply the proposed methodology to real data by adapting it to the natural history of the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) in the North Sea. Although previous grey seal studies tended to focus on correlated movements, we found overwhelming evidence that bias toward haul-out or foraging locations better explained seal movement than did simple or correlated random walks. Posterior model probabilities also provided evidence that seals transition among directed, area-restricted, and exploratory movements associated with haul-out, foraging, and other behaviors. With this intuitive framework for modeling and interpreting animal movement, we believe that the development and application of custom-made movement models will become more accessible to ecologists and non-statisticians.

In the twentieth-century simulations, most coupled models show very weak AWP variability, represented by an AWP area index, because of the cold SST bias in the AWP. Among the IPCC models, a higher AWP SST index corresponds to increased net downward shortwave radiation and decreased low-level cloud fraction during the AWP peak season. This suggests that the cold SST bias in the AWP region is at least partly caused by an excessive amount of simulated low-level cloud, which blocks shortwave radiation from reaching the sea surface. AWP natural variability is examined in preindustrial simulations. Spectral analysis reveals that only multidecadal band variability of the AWP is significant in observations. All models successfully capture the multidecadal band, but they show that interannual and/or decadal variability is also significant. On the multidecadal time scale, the global SST difference pattern between large AWP years and small AWP years resembles the geographic pattern of the AMO for most coupled models. Observational analysis indicates that both positive ENSO phase and negative NAO phase in winter correspond to reduced trade winds in the AWP region. The westerly anomalies induced by positive ENSO and negative NAO lead to local heating and warm SST from March to May and February to April, respectively. This behavior as a known feature of anomalous AWP growth is well captured by only five models.

The analysis is intended to inform users of the characteristics and skill of the outlooks, and inform the forecast producers of specific biases or weaknesses to help guide development of improved forecast tools and procedures. The forecast assessments include both categorical and probabilistic verification diagnostics and their seasonalities, and encompass both temporal and spatial variations in forecast skill. A reliability analysis assesses the correspondence between the forecast probabilities and their corresponding observed relative frequencies. Attribution of skill to specific physical sources is discussed. ENSO and long-term trends are shown to be the two dominant sources of seasonal forecast skill. Higher average skill is found for temperature than for precipitation, largely because temperature benefits from trends to a much greater extent than precipitation, whose skill is more exclusively ENSO based. Skill over the United States is substantially dependent on season and location. The warming trend is shown to have been reproduced, but considerably underestimated, in the forecasts. Aside from this underestimation, and slight overconfidence in precipitation forecast probabilities, a fairly good correspondence between forecast probabilities and subsequent observed relative frequencies is found. This confirms that the usually weak forecast probability anomalies, while disappointing to some users, are justified by normally modest signal-to-noise ratios.

However, concern that hand-held x-ray units produce higher operator doses than fixed x-ray units has caused regulatory agencies to mandate requirements for use of hand-held units that go beyond those recommended by the manufacturer and can discourage the use of this technology. To assess the need for additional requirements, a hand-held x-ray unit and a pair of manikins were used to measure the dose to a simulated operator under two conditions: exposures made according to the manufacturer's recommendations and exposures made according to manufacturer's recommendation except for the removal of the x-ray unit's protective backscatter shield. Dose to the simulated operator was determined using an array of personal dosimeters and a pair of pressurized ion chambers. The results indicate that the dose to an operator of this equipment will be less than 0.6 mSv y super(-1) if the device is used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This suggests that doses to properly trained operators of well-designed, hand-held dental x-ray units will be below 1.0 mSv y super(-1) (2% of the annual occupational dose limit) even if additional no additional operational requirements are established by regulatory agencies. This level of annual dose is similar to those reported as typical dental personnel using fixed x-ray units and appears to satisfy the ALARA principal for this class of occupational exposures.

This model is established based on the assumption that three major forces (pressure gradient, Reynolds stress gradient, and nonlinear canopy drag) within canopy are in balance for gentle hills under neutral conditions. The momentum governing equation is closed by the velocity-squared law. This new model has many advantages over the model developed by Finnigan and Belcher (Quart J Roy Meteorol Soc 130: 1-29 2004, hereafter referred to as FB04) in predicting canopy wind velocity profiles in forested hills in that: (1) predictions from the new model are more realistic because surface drag effects can be taken into account by boundary conditions, while surface drag effects cannot be accounted for in the algebraic equation used in the lower canopy layer in the FB04 model; (2) the mixing length theory is not necessarily used because it leads to a theoretical inconsistency that a constant mixing length assumption leads to a nonconstant mixing length prediction as in the FB04 model; and (3) the effects of height-dependent leaf area density (a(z)) and drag coefficient (C sub(d)) on wind velocity can be predicted, while both a(z) and C sub(d) must be treated as constants in FB04 model. The nonlinear algebraic equation for momentum transfer in the lower part of canopy used in FB04 model is height independent, actually serving as a bottom boundary condition for the linear differential momentum equation in the upper canopy layer. The predicting ability of the FB04 model is largely restricted by using the height-independent algebraic equation in the bottom canopy layer. This study has demonstrated the success of using the velocity-squared law as a closure scheme for momentum transfer in forested hills in comparison with the mixing length theory used in FB04 model thus enhancing the predicting ability of canopy flows, keeping the theory consistent and simple, and shining a new light into land-surface parameterization schemes in numerical weather and climate models.

These differences have been largely attributed to genotypic variations in toxin production among strains. We hypothesized that nutrient limitation of growth rate is equally or more important in controlling the toxicity of K. brevis, as has been documented for other toxic algae. To test this hypothesis, we measured cellular growth rate, chlorophyll a, cellular carbon and nitrogen, cell volume, and brevetoxins in four strains of K. brevis grown in nutrient-replete and nitrogen (N)-limited semi-continuous cultures. N-limitation resulted in reductions of chlorophyll a, growth rate, volume per cell and nirtogen:carbon (N:C) ratios as well as a two-fold increase (1%-4% to 5%-9%) in the percentage of cellular carbon present as brevetoxins. The increase in cellular brevetoxin concentrations was consistent among genetically distinct strains. Normalizing brevetoxins to cellular volume instead of per cell eliminated much of the commonly reported toxin variability among strains. These results suggest that genetically linked differences in cellular volume may affect the toxin content of K. brevis cells as much or more than innate genotypic differences in cellular toxin content per unit of biomass. Our data suggest at least some of the >4-fold difference in toxicity per cell reported from field studies can be explained by limitation by nitrogen or other nutrients and by differences in cell size. The observed increase in brevetoxins in nitrogen limited cells is consistent with the carbon:nutrient balance hypothesis for increases in toxins and other plant defenses under nutrient limitation.

Age-0 fish collected in the region around Sutwik Island and 375 km farther downstream near the Shumagin Islands most likely originate from the Shelikof Strait spawning aggregation. However, age-0 fish resulting from the same spawning aggregation differ in mean size up to 20 mm between areas by September. We examined the otoliths of the larval and age-0 stages of walleye pollock from these two areas in 2000 and 2001 to determine whether growth rate, hatch date, and/or temperature influenced fish size. Circulation models were used to determine whether transport of larvae from an upstream spawning group into the study areas could have occurred. Mean in situ temperature during sampling periods was not defined as a significant factor in altering growth rates. Overlapping hatch date distributions of the larval and age-0 fish in the Shumagin Island area confirmed that the fish were from the Shelikof Strait spawning group. Comparison of hatch date distributions in the upstream Sutwik Island area revealed larger/older larvae from an upstream spawning group mixed with larvae from the Shelikof Strait spawning group. Our results suggest that the offset of 20 mm SL between the groups of age-0 pollock was the result of a combination of enhanced survivorship of early-hatched larvae in the Sutwik area and the introduction and retention of the progeny of another spawning group originating upstream of Shelikof Strait.

Here we conduct time-series analyses with multivariate autoregressive (MAR) models of marine zooplankton abundance in the Northern California Current from 1996 to 2009 to determine the influence of climate variables on zooplankton community interactions. Autoregressive models showed different community interactions during warm vs. cool ocean climate conditions. Negative ecological interactions among zooplankton groups characterized the major warm phase during the time series, whereas during the major cool phase, ocean transport largely structured zooplankton communities. Local environmental conditions (sea temperature) and large-scale climate indices (El Nino/Southern Oscillation) were associated with changes in zooplankton abundance across the full time series. Secondary environmental correlates of zooplankton abundance varied with ocean climate phase, with most support during the warm phase for upwelling as a covariate, and most support during the cool phase for salinity. Through simultaneous quantitation of community interactions and environmental covariates, we show that marine zooplankton community structure varies with climate, suggesting that predictions about ecosystem responses to future climate scenarios in the Northern California Current should include potential changes to the base of the pelagic food.

The watershed surrounding the bay includes a number of towns, agricultural areas, and the Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). Jobos Bay and the surrounding watershed are part of a Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP), involving the Jobos Bay NERR, the US Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to assess the benefits of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) on the terrestrial and marine environments. As part of the Jobos Bay CEAP, NOAA collected sediment samples in May 2008 to characterize over 130 organic chemical contaminants. This paper presents the results of the organic contaminant analysis. The organic contaminants detected in the sediments included polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls, and the pesticide DDT. PAHs at one site in the inner bay near a boat yard were significantly elevated; however, all organic contaminant classes measured were below NOAA sediment quality guidelines that would have indicated that impacts were likely. The results of this work provide an important baseline assessment of the marine environment that will assist in understanding the benefits of implementing BMPs on water quality in Jobos Bay.

AN - 1020856413; 16792200 AB - Steepness of the stock-recruitment relationship is one of the most uncertain and critical quantities in fishery stock assessment and management. Steepness is defined as the fraction of recruitment from a virgin population obtained when the spawners are at 20% of the virgin level. Steepness directly relates to productivity and yield and is an important element in the calculation of many management reference points. Stock-recruitment relationships have traditionally been estimated from time series of recruitment and spawning biomass, but recently interest has arisen regarding the ability to estimate steepness inside fishery stock assessment models. We evaluated the ability to estimate steepness of the Beverton-Holt stock-recruitment relationship using simulation analyses for twelve US Pacific Coast fish stocks. A high proportion of steepness estimates from the simulated data and the original data occur at the bounds for steepness and the proportion decreased as the true steepness decreased. The simulation results indicate that, in most cases, steepness was estimated with moderate to low precision and moderate to high bias. The poorly estimated steepness indicates that often there is little information in the data about this quantity. However, reliable estimation is attainable with a good contrast of spawning stock biomass for relatively unproductive stocks when the model is correctly specified.

Satellite observations indicate that shallow banks may have substantially elevated chlorophyll concentrations relative to surrounding waters during much of the summer. We use the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and ocean observation data to examine circulation and stratification around Portlock Bank in the Gulf of Alaska, and to explore mechanisms contributing to interannual variability in the supply of iron and nitrate onto the bank in spring and summer. ROMS at 3-km resolution is coupled to a lower trophic level biology model for the Gulf of Alaska; the coupled model is driven by tidal forcing, sub-daily atmospheric forcing, freshwater runoff, and boundary and initial conditions from Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) products. Hydrographic observations were made as part of six surveys undertaken by the GLOBEC/NEP (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics/Northeast Pacific) program. Modeling results suggest that iron supply to the shallow layer around Portlock Bank is controlled by both advection and vertical diffusion processes, while nitrate supply is dominated by tidally-induced vertical diffusion. Overall, higher chlorophyll concentration in summer around Portlock Bank is attributed to strong vertical mixing, which pumps nutrients onto the bank from the flanks on either side, and from the top of the bank into the euphotic zone. Recirculation attributed to tidal effects increases residence time over the bank, further enhancing potential production, but intense mixing atop the bank in early spring can lead to light limitation of phytoplankton production. We used July 2004 cruise data from Portlock Bank to help verify model results.

In this study, we used simulations to evaluate the performance of the Trawl and Acoustic Presence/Absence Survey design (TAPAS) in reducing the variability in estimated biomass. This approach is a double sampling design in which high-density patches observed in a first phase using hydroacoustics are subsequently more intensively sampled (relative to non-patch areas) in a second phase using trawls and area-swept methods. Information on Gulf of Alaska Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus), a patchily distributed rockfish species, was used to parameterize the simulations. The performance of the TAPAS design depends upon the degree to which high acoustic backscatter represents "patch" areas of high density and variability, as the relationship between backscatter and abundance of a given species can be affected by areas unavailable for sampling (i.e., the "dead zone") and the contribution of multiple species to the backscatter intensity. With a strong relationship between backscatter intensity and density, the TAPAS design resulted in improved precision compared to simple random sampling (SRS). Additionally, more intensive sampling of the patches occurred when areas of high backscatter intensity were randomly distributed over space rather than located in spatially correlated clusters. However, with a weak relationship between backscatter intensity and density, the precision of the TAPAS design was not substantially larger than SRS. The potential improvement in precision when a strong relationship exists between backscatter intensity and fish density offers motivation to continue to refine relationships between underlying fish density, acoustic backscatter, and trawl catches.

AN - 1220562908; 15444 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive restoration plan to restore the Lake Borgne ecosystem and the areas affected by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) navigation channel within coastal southeast Louisiana and parts of southwest Mississippi is proposed. The 3.8-million-acre study area includes Louisiana's Pontchartrain Basin, which is comprised of the Upper, Middle, and Lower sub-basins. The Upper Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Maurepas and its adjacent wetlands and swamps. The Middle Pontchartrain sub-basin is comprised of Lake Pontchartrain, its adjacent cities and towns, and surrounding wetlands. The Lower Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Borgne, the MRGO, the Mississippi River, Chandeleur and Breton Sounds, portions of the Gulf of Mexico, and the surrounding wetlands, barrier islands, and communities. In Mississippi, the study area includes the Western Mississippi Sound, its bordering wetlands, and Cat Island. Louisiana parishes in the study area include Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Mississippi counties include portions of Hancock and Harrison. Construction and operation of the MRGO, in combination with other natural and man-made factors, has caused direct, indirect and cumulative land loss, shoreline erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat modification, and impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources throughout the project area. After Hurricane Katrina caused shoaling in the MRGO channel in August 2005, it was officially de-authorized from the confluence with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico as a federal navigation channel. A rock closure structure was constructed across the outlet near the Bayou La Loutre Ridge in St. Bernard Parish in 2009. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative C is the tentatively selected plan and would include restoration of approximately 57,472 acres of habitat, including 14,123 acres of fresh and intermediate marsh; 32,511 acres of brackish marsh; 10,318 acres of cypress swamp; 466 acres of saline marsh; and 54 acres of ridge habitat along Bayou La Loutre. The plan would include 71 miles of shoreline protection in Lake Borgne, along the MRGO, and in the Biloxi Marsh, as well as an adaptively managed freshwater diversion near Violet, Louisiana. The Violet Freshwater Diversion, pulsing 7,000 cubic feet per second from April to May would influence 115,078 acres. Approximately 10,221 acres of the restoration and protection features would be located in the East Orleans Landbridge/Pearl River area and approximately 9,861 acres of restoration features would be located in the Biloxi Marsh area, which have been determined to be critical landscape features with respect to storm surge. Additionally, the cypress swamp and ridge restoration features include forested habitats, having some storm surge damage risk reduction benefits. Recreation features are proposed at Orleans Parish's Bienvenue Triangle, the Violet Freshwater Diversion site in St. Bernard's Parish, and Shell Beach, also in St. Bernard's Parish. Total project construction costs for the tentatively selected plan are estimated at $2.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A comprehensive plan would modify the MRGO and restore the areas affected by the navigation channel, restore natural features of the ecosystem that will reduce or prevent damage from storm surge, and prevent the intrusion of saltwater into the waterway. The Violet Freshwater Diversion would mimic natural processes and enhance the sustainability of the system through the input of freshwater, nutrients, and sediment. Anticipated outputs of the tentatively selected plan would help address the current trend of degradation of the Lake Borgne ecosystem, support nationally significant resources, provide a sustainable and diverse array of fish and wildlife habitats, provide infrastructure protection, and make progress towards a more sustainable ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the diversion channel would result in the loss of 302 acres of prime farmland and 227 acres of wetland. Restoration of the Bayou La Loutre Ridge would result in permanent impacts to 54 acres of brackish marsh. Turbidity as a result of dredging and construction would impact oyster leases temporarily. Sea turtles and Gulf sturgeon may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. The impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and various emergency actions to address oil spills could affect the restoration project.

To examine the issue in the context of operational hydrologic forecasting, we carried out a set of real-world experiments in which streamflow data is assimilated into the gridded Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA) and kinematic-wave routing models of the US National Weather Service (NWS) Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (RDHM) via variational data assimilation (DA). The nine study basins include four in Oklahoma and five in Texas. To assess the sensitivity of the performance of DA to the dimensionality of the control vector, we used nine different spatiotemporal adjustment scales, with which the state variables are adjusted in a lumped, semi-distributed, or distributed fashion and biases in precipitation and PE are adjusted at hourly or 6-hourly scale, or at the scale of the fast response of the basin. For each adjustment scale, three different assimilation scenarios were carried out in which streamflow observations are assumed to be available at basin interior points only, at the basin outlet only, or at all locations. The results for the nine basins show that the optimum spatiotemporal adjustment scale varies from basin to basin and between streamflow analysis and prediction for all three streamflow assimilation scenarios. The most preferred adjustment scale for seven out of the nine basins is found to be distributed and hourly. It was found that basins with highly correlated flows between interior and outlet locations tend to be less sensitive to the adjustment scale and could benefit more from streamflow assimilation. In comparison with outlet flow assimilation, interior flow assimilation produced streamflow predictions whose spatial correlation structure is more consistent with that of observed flow for all adjustment scales. We also describe diagnosing the complexity of the assimilation problem using spatial correlation of streamflow and discuss the effect of timing errors in hydrograph simulation on the performance of the DA procedure.

In addition, we observe how these classifications capture the weekly cycles of ground-level nitrogen oxide (NO sub(x)) and ozone (O sub(3)) at US EPA Air Quality System (AQS) sites. We use the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) land use dominant categories and the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) HCHO/NO sub(2) column density ratios to allocate geographical regions (i.e., "urban", "forest", and "other" regions) and chemical regimes (i.e., "NO sub(x)-saturated", "NO sub(x)-sensitive", and "mixed" regimes). We also show that CMAQ simulations using GOME-2 satellite-adjusted NO sub(x) emissions mitigate the discrepancy between the weekly cycles of NO sub(x) from AQS observations and that from CMAQ simulation results. We found geographical regions and chemical regimes do not show a one-to-one correspondence: the averaged HCHO / NO sub(2) ratios for AVHRR "urban" and "forest" regions are 2.1 and 4.0, which correspond to GOME-2 "mixed" and "NO sub(x)-sensitive" regimes, respectively. Both AQS-observed and CMAQ-simulated weekly cycles of NO sub(x) show high concentrations on weekdays and low concentrations on weekends, but with one- or two-day shifts of weekly high peaks in the simulated results, which eventually introduces the shifts in simulated weekly-low O sub(3) concentration. In addition, whereas the high weekend O sub(3) anomaly is clearly observable at sites over the GOME-2 NO sub(x)-saturated regime in both AQS and CMAQ, the weekend effect is not captured at sites over the AVHRR urban region because of the chemical characteristics of the urban sites ( approximately GOME-2 mixed regime). In addition, the weekend effect from AQS is more clearly discernible at sites above the GOME-2 NO sub(x)-saturated regime than at other sites above the CMAQ NO sub(x)-saturated regime, suggesting that the GOME-2-based chemical regime classification is more accurate than CMAQ-based chemical classification. Furthermore, the CMAQ simulations using the GOME-2-derived NO sub(x) emissions adjustment (decreasing from 462 Gg N to 426 Gg N over the US for August 2009) show large reductions of simulated NO sub(x) concentrations (particularly over the urban, or NO sub(x)-saturated, regime), and mitigates the large discrepancies between the absolute amount and the weekly pattern of NO sub(x) concentrations of the EPA AQS and those of the baseline CMAQ.

AN - 1124734951; 15413 AB - PURPOSE: A restoration plan to compensate for injuries to natural resources in Portland Harbor in the Lower Willamette River including portions of Multnomah, Clackamas and Columbia Counties, Oregon is proposed. Since the 1900s, much of the river has been modified to control flooding and facilitate navigation. The lower floodplain, especially in Portland Harbor, located just above the confluence with the Columbia River, has been modified by filling and development of industrial facilities which have released an array of hazardous substances and oil into the river system. Other activities contributing to contamination in the harbor include erosion of contaminated soils, stormwater runoff from roads and urban areas, recreational boating and marina operations, contamination associated with urban growth, atmospheric deposition of exhaust and emissions, and historical direct waste disposal into the river. In 2000, Portland Harbor was declared a federal Superfund site. In 2002, the Portland Harbor Natural Resource Trustee Council (Trustee Council) was formed to develop and coordinate damage assessment activities and to plan for the restoration of natural resources through the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. The Trustees seek damages from potentially responsible parties (PRPs) to restore, rehabilitate, replace or acquire the equivalent of natural resources and services injured by the release of hazardous substances in Portland Harbor and the NRDA will determine the extent of injuries and associated lost services. The Superfund study area (SSA) is defined for the NRDA process as the area from Willamette River river mile (RM) 0.8 to RM 12.3 and the upper 1.2 miles of Multnomah Channel. Potential injuries being assessed include impacts to fish, wildlife, sediments, and surface water, and the loss of services they provide, such as recreational and subsistence fishing. Concurrent with the damage assessment process, the Trustee Council is conducting restoration planning. Criteria for identifying and evaluating potential ecological restoration sites address habitat features and attributes for several potentially injured species, including salmon, lamprey, sturgeon, bald eagle, osprey, spotted sandpiper, and mink. Three alternative approaches to restoration are evaluated in this draft programmatic EIS: 1) No Action, under which no restoration planning or restoration actions would occur; 2) integrated habitat restoration planning, under which habitat-focused restoration would be developed to benefit, directly or indirectly, a suite of natural resources that were injured; and 3) species-specific restoration planning, under which specific restoration actions designed to benefit individual species would be developed. Integrated habitat restoration is the preferred alternative as it is designed to improve habitats that function in support of multiple fish and wildlife species, as well as the food base for these species. Under this approach, PRPs could: 1) implement a restoration project under trustee oversight; 2) purchase restoration credits in a project constructed by another party, provided that the Trustee Council has agreed to accept those credits; or 3) enter into a cash-based settlement. Restoration-based settlements would include detailed project descriptions with agreed performance goals, monitoring requirements and adaptive management provisions to address performance shortfalls. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A restoration plan would provide guidance to the Trustee Council in its decision-making regarding the selection and implementation of future site-specific restoration actions. The preferred alternative is expected to deliver broad ecosystem benefits concentrated within and around the area where the injuries to natural resources and natural resources services have taken place. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restoration of floodplains, wetlands, riparian areas and upland habitats that are not fully protected under existing environmental regulations could result in minor long-term adverse indirect economic impacts due to the loss or reduction of developable property.

AN - 1124734916; 15419 AB - PURPOSE: Fifteen oil and gas lease sales in six planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and offshore Alaska are proposed. Under the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program: 2012-2017, five area-wide lease sales each would be held in the Central and Western GOM Planning Areas, with one to two lease sales in the extreme western portion of the Eastern GOM Planning Area. The program would schedule one sale with two whaling deferrals (near Barrow and Kaktovik) in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area, one sale with a 25-mile buffer in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area, and one sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area off of South-Central Alaska. An updated oil and gas strategy for the OCS continued a moratorium for areas in the Eastern GOM and eliminated the Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic planning areas from consideration for potential sales and development through the 2017 planning horizon. Oil and gas activities may occur on OCS leases after a lease sale pursuant to the proposed action, and these activities may extend over a period of 40 to 50 years. These activities may include seismic surveys; drilling oil and natural gas exploration and production wells; installation and operation of offshore platforms and pipelines, onshore pipelines, and support facilities; and transporting oil using ships or pipelines. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 8) are considered in this final programmatic EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), a schedule would be established and used as a basis for considering where and when leasing might be appropriate in the six planning areas over the five-year period. Alternatives 2 through 7 each exclude one of the six planning areas included in the proposed action from the program. In addition to evaluating the impacts of routine operations and accidental oil spills, this programmatic EIS also considers how climate change may affect baseline conditions of resources over the 40 to 50 year period during which oil and gas production could occur following lease sales under the program. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A schedule of lease sales would meet national energy needs for the five-year period following its approval by balancing the potential for adverse environmental and societal impacts with the beneficial impacts of the discovery and development of oil and gas. Potential Arctic lease sales would include special mitigation conditions to protect subsistence use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance of the seafloor would impact benthic habitats and invertebrates. Operations could result in localized, short-term impacts to water quality, air quality, and the acoustic environment. Coastal and estuarine habitats could incur minor to moderate impacts from pipeline landfall and construction, maintenance dredging of inlets and channels, and vessel traffic. Potential impacts to marine mammals include noise disturbance from seismic surveys, vessels, helicopters, construction and operation of platforms, and removal of platforms with explosives; potential collision with vessels; and exposures to discharges and wastes. Five species of sea turtles that occur in the three GOM planning areas could be impacted. Accidental oil spills could affect benthic, pelagic, coastal, and estuarine habitat and pose the greatest threat to marine and coastal birds. American crocodile could be affected in the event there is a very large oil spill that reaches the southern Florida coast. Operations could have minor impacts on subsistence, commercial, and recreational fisheries. Any adverse impacts on fish and mammal subsistence resources could have disproportionate impacts on Alaska Native populations.

The primary human-caused threats are entanglement in fishing gear and collisions with vessels. Since 2002, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service has implemented both seasonally and dynamically managed protective zones where right whales occur to reduce these threats; Seasonal Area Management (SAM) and Dynamic Area Management (DAM) for the reduction of right whale entanglements with fishing gear, and Seasonal Management Areas (SMA) and Dynamic Management Areas (DMA) for reduction of vessel collisions. This paper analyzes the presence of frequent concentrations of right whales outside of SAM and SMA zones, represented by the spatial and temporal occurrence of DAMs and DMAs. A grid of 1minx1min squares was geospatially applied to locations of DAMs and DMAs from April 2002 through June 2011 and the number of management areas that intersected each 1min square was populated. DAMs and DMAs were most highly concentrated along the central Gulf of Maine. Of the 131 DAMs and DMAs implemented, ninety-seven (74.0%) intersected this area, and were primarily implemented from October through February. The results of this analysis will aid in consideration of possible modifications to the size and location of SMAs along the northern Atlantic coast of the U.S. and other management actions for the reduction of vessel collisions with right whales.

(Nature 465:334-337, 2010). Segments of 4 years and less are found not to be significantly different from each other or from 0 at the 90% confidence interval. Likewise, short 5- to 7-year segments are not statistically different from each other. Ten-year and longer trends are significant and provide a useful comparison for satellite observations of the radiation imbalance at the top of the atmosphere.

The stability of such CNTs in water with soil or sediment is one critical factor controlling their environmental fate. We conducted a series of experiments to quantitatively assess the association between water dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and three soil minerals (kaolinite, smectite, or shale) in aqueous solution under different sodium concentrations. (super 14) C-labeling was used in these experiments to unambiguously quantify MWCNTs. The results showed that increasing ionic strength strongly promoted the removal of MWCNTs from aqueous phase. The removal tendency is inversely correlated with the soil minerals' surface potential and directly correlated with their hydrophobicity. This removal can be interpreted by the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (EDLVO) theory especially for kaolinite and smectite. Shale, which contains large and insoluble organic materials, sorbed MWCNTs the most strongly. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

However, published models either have insufficient temporal coverage or fail to treat tectonic plates in a self-consistent manner. They usually consider the motions of selected features attached to tectonic plates, such as continents, but generally do not explicitly account for the continuous evolution of plate boundaries through time. In order to explore the coupling between the surface and mantle, plate models are required that extend over at least a few hundred million years and treat plates as dynamic features with dynamically evolving plate boundaries. We have constructed a new type of global plate motion model consisting of a set of continuously-closing topological plate polygons with associated plate boundaries and plate velocities since the break-up of the supercontinent Pangea. Our model is underpinned by plate motions derived from reconstructing the seafloor-spreading history of the ocean basins and motions of the continents and utilizes a hybrid absolute reference frame, based on a moving hotspot model for the last 100 Ma, and a true-polar wander corrected paleomagnetic model for 200 to 100 Ma. Detailed regional geological and geophysical observations constrain plate boundary inception or cessation, and time-dependent geometry. Although our plate model is primarily designed as a reference model for a new generation of geodynamic studies by providing the surface boundary conditions for the deep earth, it is also useful for studies in disparate fields when a framework is needed for analyzing and interpreting spatio-temporal data.

Optimally, this material should have a reproducible and tight ABC value for the expression of a known clinical reference biomarker. In this study, we characterized commercially available cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and two lyophilized PBMC preparations, Cyto-Trol and PBMC-National Institute for Biological Standard and Control (NIBSC) relative to freshly prepared PBMC and whole blood samples. It was found that the ABC values for CD4 expression on cryopreserved PBMC were consistent with those of freshly obtained PBMC and whole blood samples. By comparison, the ABC value for CD4 expression on Cyto-Trol is lower and the value on PBMC-NIBSC is much lower than those of freshly prepared cell samples using both conventional flow cytometry and CyTOF(TM) mass cytometry. By performing simultaneous surface and intracellular staining measurements on these two cell samples, we found that both cell membranes are mostly intact. Moreover, CD4 super(+) cell diameters from both lyophilized cell preparations are smaller than those of PBMC and whole blood. This could result in steric interference in antibody binding to the lyophilized cells. Further investigation of the fixation effect on the detected CD4 expression suggests that the very low ABC value obtained for CD4 super(+) cells from lyophilized PBMC-NIBSC is largely due to paraformaldehyde fixation; this significantly decreases available antibody binding sites. This study provides confirmation that the results obtained from the newly developed mass cytometry are directly comparable to the results from conventional flow cytometry when both methods are standardized using the same ABC approach.

These processes entail ocean and atmosphere circulation and tidal attraction, global climate change, and the hydrological cycle, all having a broad range of spatiotemporal scales. The largest atmospheric mass variations occur mostly at synoptic wavelengths and at seasonal time scales. The longest wavelength component of surface mass transport, the spherical harmonic degree-1, involves the exchange of mass between the northern and southern hemispheres. These degree-1 mass loads deform the solid Earth, including its surface, and induce geocenter motion between the center-of-mass of the total Earth system (CM) and the center-of-figure (CF) of the solid Earth surface. Because geocenter motion also depends on the mechanical properties of the solid Earth, monitoring geocenter motion thus provides an additional opportunity to probe deep into Earth's interior. Most modern geodetic measurement systems rely on tracking data between ground stations and satellites that orbit around CM. Consequently, geocenter motion is intimately related to the realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) origin, and, in various ways, affects many of our measurement objectives for global change monitoring. In the last 15 years, there have been vast improvements in geophysical fluid modeling and in the global coverage, densification, and accuracy of geodetic observations. As a result of these developments, tremendous progress has been made in the study of geocenter motion over the same period.

Because the rocky, high-relief substrate that rockfishes often inhabit is inaccessible to standard survey trawls, population abundance assessments for many rockfish species are difficult. As part of a large study to classify substrate and compare complementary sampling tools, we investigated the feasibility of using an acoustic survey in conjunction with a lowered stereo-video camera, a remotely operated vehicle, and a modified bottom trawl to estimate rockfish biomass in untrawlable habitat. The Snake-head Bank south of Kodiak Island, Alaska, was surveyed repeatedly over 4 days and nights. Dusky rockfish (S. variabilis), northern rockfish (S. polyspinis), and harlequin rockfish (S. variegatus) were the most abundant species observed on the bank. Backscatter attributed to rockfish were collected primarily near the seafloor at a mean height off the bottom of 1.5 m. Total rockfish backscatter and the height of backscatter off the bottom did not differ among survey passes or between night and day. Biomass estimates for the 41 square nautical-mile area surveyed on this small, predominantly untrawlable bank were 2350 metric tons (t) of dusky rockfish, 331 t of northern rockfish, and 137 t of harlequin rockfish. These biomass estimates are 5-60 times the density estimated for these rockfish species by a regularly conducted bottom trawl survey covering the bank and the surrounding shelf. This finding shows that bottom trawl surveys can underestimate the abundance of rockfishes in untrawlable areas and, therefore, may underestimate overall population abundance for these species.

However, this requires long-term studies of definable populations of distinct individuals, which can be particularly challenging when studying mobile cetaceans in the marine environment. We collected photo-identification data from 19 years (1992-2010) to assess the dynamics of a population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) restricted to the shallow (<7 m) waters of Little Bahama Bank, northern Bahamas. This population was known to range beyond our study area, so we adopted a Bayesian mixture modeling approach to mark-recapture to identify clusters of individuals that used the area to different extents, and we specifically estimated trends in survival, recruitment, and abundance of a "resident" population with high probabilities of identification. There was a high probability (p = 0.97) of a long-term decrease in the size of this resident population from a maximum of 47 dolphins (95% highest posterior density intervals, HPDI = 29-61) in 1996 to a minimum of just 24 dolphins (95% HPDI = 14-37) in 2009, a decline of 49% (95% HPDI = -5% to -75%). This was driven by low per capita recruitment (average similar to 0.02) that could not compensate for relatively low apparent survival rates (average similar to 0.94). Notably, there was a significant increase in apparent mortality ( similar to 5 apparent mortalities vs. similar to 2 on average) in 1999 when two intense hurricanes passed over the study area, with a high probability (p = 0.83) of a drop below the average survival probability ( similar to 0.91 in 1999; similar to 0.94, on average). As such, our mark-recapture approach enabled us to make useful inference about local dynamics within an open population of bottlenose dolphins; this should be applicable to other studies challenged by sampling highly mobile individuals with heterogeneous space use.

Near Puget Sound, resident and overwintering populations of Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus (L., 1766)) have expanded in recent decades. We modeled the potential impact of Bald Eagles on marine food-web structure. Bald Eagles caused trophic cascade dynamics through mid-level predators (seabirds) to lower trophic levels (fishes, benthic invertebrates), particularly when seabirds were more abundant in eagle diets. Resident Bald Eagles affected food-web structure more than overwintering eagles, despite the latters' greater abundance. Predator avoidance behavior by nearshore diving birds and herbivorous birds exacerbated trophic cascade effects, but only in a narrow range of species. Variability in the number of overwintering Bald Eagles, which come to the area to feed on salmon carcasses (primarily chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta (Walbaum in Artedi, 1792)), had little effect on the food web. Our results indicate that Bald Eagles are important to marine food-web structure, owing to their high consumption rates and the high consumption rates of their seabird prey, but uncertainty about eagle diets limits our full understanding of their impact. In systems where Bald Eagles affect large seabird breeding colonies, their role in food-web structure is likely greater.Original Abstract: La conservation de predateurs presente des defis dans les cas ou ces predateurs ont une incidence sur des populations de proies qui assurent des services ecosystemiques. Les populations residentes et hivernantes de pygargues a tete blanche (Haliaeetus leucocephalus (L., 1766)) de la region du Puget Sound ont augmente au cours des dernieres decennies. Nous avons modelise l'impact potentiel des pygargues a tete blanche sur la structure du reseau trophique marin. Les pygargues a tete blanche ont cause une dynamique de cascade trophique parmi les predateurs de niveaux intermediaires (oiseaux marins) a inferieurs (poissons, invertebres benthiques), plus particulierement dans les cas ou les oiseaux marins constituaient une proportion relativement elevee du regime alimentaire des pygargues. Les pygargues residants exercaient une plus grande influence sur la structure trophique que les pygargues hivernants et ce, malgre le fait que ces derniers etaient plus abondants. Des comportements d'evitement des predateurs par les oiseaux plongeurs et les oiseaux herbivores infralittoraux exacerbaient les effets de cascade trophique, mais seulement dans une gamme limitee d'especes. Les variations du nombre de pygargues a tete blanche hivernants, qui viennent dans la region pour se nourrir de carcasses de saumon (principalement des saumons keta, Oncorhynchus keta (Walbaum in Artedi, 1792)), n'avaient que peu d'effet sur le reseau trophique. Nous resultats indiquent que les pygargues a tete blanche constituent un element important de la structure trophique marine en raison de leurs taux de consommation eleves et des taux de consommation eleves des oiseaux de mer dont ils se nourrissent. Une comprehension approfondie de cette incidence est toutefois limitee par l'incertitude concernant le regime alimentaire des pygargues. Dans les systemes ou les pygargues a tete blanche ont une incidence sur de grandes colonies de nidification d'oiseaux de mer, il est probable qu'ils jouent un role encore plus important dans la structure trophique.

The new flow regime was designed to mimic the seasonal timing of natural increases and decreases in stream flow. We monitored fish assemblages annually at six sample sites distributed over similar to 30 km of stream for eight years before and nine years after the new flow regime was implemented. Our purpose was to determine whether more natural stream flow patterns would reestablish native fishes and reduce the abundances of alien (nonnative) fishes. At the onset of our study, native fishes were constrained to habitat immediately (<1 km) below the diversion dam, and alien species were numerically dominant at all downstream sample sites. Following implementation of the new flow regime, native fishes regained dominance across more than 20 km of lower Putah Creek. We propose that the expansion of native fishes was facilitated by creation of favorable spawning and rearing conditions (e.g., elevated springtime flows), cooler water temperatures, maintenance of lotic (flowing) conditions over the length of the creek, and displacement of alien species by naturally occurring high-discharge events. Importantly, restoration of native fishes was achieved by manipulating stream flows at biologically important times of the year and only required a small increase in the total volume of water delivered downstream (i.e., water that was not diverted for other uses) during most water years. Our results validate that natural flow regimes can be used to effectively manipulate and manage fish assemblages in regulated rivers.

Binary centroid images are created by employing a k-means-based custom algorithm. Centroid images are compared to grayscale SIMS images using a newly developed correlation method that assigns the SIMS images to classes that have similar spatial (rather than spectral) patterns. Image features of both large and small spatial extent are identified without the need for image pre-processing, such as normalization or fixed-range mass-binning. A subsequent classification step tracks the class assignment of SIMS images over multiple iterations of increasing nclasses per iteration, providing information about groups of images that have similar chemistry. Details are discussed while presenting data acquired with ToF-SIMS on a model sample of laser-printed inks. This approach can lead to the identification of distinct ion-specific chemistries for mass spectral imaging by ToF-SIMS, as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), and desorption electrospray ionization (DESI).

The -$1,556.7 billion change in the US net international investment position from yearend 2010 to yearend 2011 was mainly attributable to net price changes of -$802.1 billion and net financial flows of -$556.3 billion. The impact of changes in US and foreign asset prices of -$802.1 billion accounted for over half of the -$1.6 trillion change in the US net international investment position. In 2011, increases in the prices of Treasury bonds and other US debt raised the value of foreign investment in the US, and declines in foreign stock prices lowered the value of investment abroad. US stock prices were virtually unchanged. Adapted from the source document.

The deficit increased to 3.6% of current-dollar gross domestic product, up from 3.1% in the fourth quarter and 2.9% in the third quarter. Most of the increase in the current-account deficit was accounted for by a decrease in the surplus on income and an increase in the deficit on goods. Net unilateral current transfers from the US also increased. These changes were partly offset by a small increase in the surplus on services. The statistical discrepancy -- the amount that balances the sum of the recorded credits and debits across all the accounts in the international transactions accounts -- was -$19.4 billion in the first quarter, compared with $55.3 billion in the fourth quarter.

Evidence of epibenthic feeding was based on mud visible on the dorsal surface of whales, resulting from feeding near the seafloor. Other cues used to assess feeding were an open mouth or the presence of feces in photographs. Over 3,600 photographs were analyzed including photos from surveys in spring and late summer and in both the western and eastern Beaufort Sea. Of all the photographs analyzed, 64% were scored as definitively muddy. In spring, ratios ranged from a low of 27% in 2003 to a high of 76% in 2004. When all May sample sets off Barrow were combined (1985, 1986, 2003, 2004), there was a significant difference (t-test, P < 0.004) between the proportion of muddy juveniles to the proportion of muddy adults, with muddy adults being more common. The Barrow area was a commonly used feeding ground during migrations in both the spring (61% of the sample were feeding; 55% epibenthically) and autumn (99% of the sample; 97% epibenthically). Bowheads both migrate and feed through areas where petroleum extraction is underway and anticipated; hence, exposure to oil after a spill is of considerable concern to Native communities and management agencies.

Model parameters were updated using recent literature, and data from surveys of the seal population and its bottom-associated prey. Together they produced a static mass balance model for 1998 when the prey surveys began. The Ecopath-estimated monk seal biomass was 0.0045 t/km2, which was in close agreement with the biomass calculated from monk seal field beach counts (0.0046 t/km2). Model simulations through time were done in Ecosim using the Ecopath balanced model and included fisheries data time series from 1998 to 2008. Monk seal biomass declined concurrently with decreases in benthic bottomfish biomass, which were influenced by large-scale changes in the environment of the North Pacific. This model scenario was extended from 2010, when the last permitted fishery in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands was closed, through to 2040, assuming a constant environmental signal. Model results for this time period did not show a recovery of monk seals that exceeded the initial 1998 model biomass levels, highlighting the importance of including environmental variability in estimates of monk seals recovery at FFS.

We compared the use of different risk assessment methods for three different classes of pesticide, the herbicide diuron, the fungicide chlorothalonil, and the insecticide permethrin for marine and estuarine species. Permethrin was the most toxic pesticide to marine and estuarine crustaceans. Diuron was the most toxic pesticide to algae, and chlorothalonil was most toxic to early life stages of molluscs and other invertebrates. Toxicity data (96h LC50/EC50 values) were analyzed using a probability distribution on the ranked toxicity values and 10th centile values were calculated based on different groups of species and for all species combined. Our results indicate that an assessment of risk based on smaller taxonomic groups can be informative, especially for pesticides of less specific modes of action such as chlorothalonil.

Cannibalism in crab species can be an important determinant of recruitment success, and this might be especially important in king crab because year-0 and year-1 crab occupy the same habitat types in the wild. In this study we used laboratory experiments to determine the predator functional response, or the effect of prey density on predation rates of year-1 crab preying on year-0 crab in three different habitat types: Sand, which was unstructured soft sediment, Whole Shell, which was whole clam valves, and Shell Hash, which was smaller pieces of crushed shell. We also examined how predator density (one or two predators) affects the functional response. The data was fit to Type I, or density independent, Type II, or inversely density dependent, and Type III, or density dependent, functional response models and the best fit model was chosen using Akaike's information criterion. The functional response was a Type II in all habitat types; however, the predation rate was lower at all prey densities in the Whole Shell habitat than in Shell Hash and Sand. The functional response was a Type II at both predator densities as well. The presence of a second predator decreased both the attack rate and the handling time, resulting in slightly lower predation rates at low prey densities, and slightly higher predation rates at high prey densities when compared to the single predator treatment. This indicates a low level of predator interference. This work has implications for potential stock enhancement activities, as year-1 crab could inhibit enhancement success though cannibalism of introduced year-0 crab, especially given the destabilizing nature of the Type II functional response. A potential solution would be to enhance a given area only every other year to give previous cohorts a chance to start podding in less complex habitats. Future work should examine whether the presence of alternative prey changes the functional response to a Type III, as this would give year-0 crabs a low-density refuge from predation.

Quantitative heat release rate measurements of full-scale fires up to 2.7MW were conducted using the principle of oxygen-consumption calorimetry. A remotely-operated natural gas burner provided a reproducible heat source and near-square-wave inputs to the system. The calorimeter was capable of resolving the actual peak heat release rate value for fire transient events having a full width at half height of 15s or greater. However, if the full width at half height measured by the calorimeter was less than 11s, the measured peak value underestimated the actual peak heat release rate by 15% or more. Even if the peak heat release rate could not be fully resolved, the calorimeter was able to provide an estimate of the total heat released to within about 5%, demonstrating conservation of energy by the system.

Model ozone using the assimilated meteorological fields with improved wind fields shows better agreement with the observation compared to the forecasting results. In the post-frontal conditions, important factors for ozone modeling in terms of wind patterns are the weak easterlies in the morning for bringing in industrial emissions to the city and the subsequent clockwise turning of the wind direction induced by the Coriolis force superimposing the sea breeze, which keeps pollutants in the urban area. Objective analysis and nudging employed in the retrospective simulation minimize the wind bias but are not able to compensate for the general flow pattern biases inherited from large scale inputs. By using an alternative analyses data for initializing the meteorological simulation, the model can re-produce the flow pattern and generate the ozone peak location closer to the reality. The inaccurate simulation of precipitation and cloudiness cause over-prediction of ozone occasionally. Since there are limitations in the meteorological model to simulate precipitation and cloudiness in the fine scale domain (less than 4-km grid), the satellite-based cloud is an alternative way to provide necessary inputs for the retrospective study of air quality.

This important role in the radiation budget played by cirrus clouds indicates that aerosol effects on cirrus clouds can have a substantial impact on the variation of global radiative forcing if the ice-water path (IWP) changes. This study examines the aerosol indirect effect (AIE) through changes in the IWP for cirrus cloud cases. This study also examines the dependence of aerosol-cloud interactions in cirrus clouds on the large-scale vertical motion. We use a cloud-system resolving model (CSRM) coupled with a double-moment representation of cloud microphysics. Intensified interactions among the cloud ice number concentration (CINC), deposition and dynamics play a critical role in the IWP increases due to aerosol increases from the preindustrial (PI) level to the present-day (PD) level with a low large-scale vertical velocity. Increased aerosols lead to an increased CINC, providing an increased surface area for water vapor deposition. The increased surface area leads to increased deposition despite decreased supersaturation with increasing aerosols. The increased deposition causes an increased depositional heating which produces stronger updrafts, and these stronger updrafts lead to the increased IWP. However, with a high large-scale vertical velocity, the effect of increased CINC on deposition was not able to offset the effect of decreasing supersaturation with increasing aerosols. The effect of decreasing supersaturation on deposition dominant over that of increasing CINC leads to smaller deposition and IWP at high aerosol with the PD aerosol than at low aerosol with the PI aerosol. The conversion of ice crystals to aggregates through autoconversion and accretion plays a negligible role in the IWP responses to aerosols, as does the sedimentation of aggregates. The sedimentation of ice crystals plays a more important role in the IWP response to aerosol increases than the sedimentation of aggregates, but, not more important than the interactions among the CINC, supersaturation, deposition and dynamics. These interactions not only determine the effect of aerosols on IWP but also control how this effect varies with varying large-scale vertical velocities.

Results show that the accuracy of the 24-h and 48-h forecasts for precipitation is closely related to the complex topography of the mountain areas. To understand the impacts of the initial condition uncertainties on accuracy of the dynamical downscaling, a series of data assimilation experiments has been performed. The Advanced Television and Infrared Observation Satellite Operational Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) radiance observations and a data assimilation system named the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI), developed by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), were used in this study. The results show that the satellite data provides beneficial information for improving the initial conditions for the dynamical model system and the "forecast" errors are reduced for most locations within the 24-h hindcasts.

AN - 1017978397; 16730356 AB - Mercury concentration ([Hg]), delta super(1)52N, and delta super(13)C values were measured in eggs from common murres (Uria aalge), thick-billed murres (U. lomvia), glaucous gulls (Larus hyperboreus), and glaucous-winged gulls (L. glaucescens) collected in Alaska from 1999 to 2005. [Hg] was normalized to a common trophic level using egg delta super(15)N values and published Hg trophic magnification factors. Egg [Hg] was higher in murres from Gulf of Alaska, Cook Inlet, and Norton Sound regions compared to Bering Sea and Bering Strait regions, independent of trophic level. We believe the Yukon River outflow and terrestrial Hg sources on the southern Seward Peninsula are responsible for the elevated [Hg] in Norton Sound eggs. Normalizing for trophic level generally diminished or eliminated differences in [Hg] among taxa, but temporal variability was unrelated to trophic level. Normalizing murre egg [Hg] by trophic level improves the confidence in regional comparisons of Hg sources and biogeochemical cycling in Alaska.

The snow mask algorithm for MODIS on Aqua has been adapted to use the 2.1 mu m band 7, since some of Aqua's MODIS detectors are nonfunctional. We have previously introduced an algorithm for quantitative image restoration (QIR) that can restore missing pixels or scan lines, using multilinear regression with input from a spatial-spectral window in other bands. In this letter, we argue that the use of MODIS Aqua band 6 data restored with the QIR technique in the snow algorithm results in a higher accuracy snow product as compared to the current MODIS Aqua snow product based on band 7 data. We show this by comparing a QIR-restored band 6 based product to the band 7 based product, applied to MODIS Terra, where we have simulated the Aqua-like damage to band 6. We demonstrate improved performance on representative granules covering different surface land-type conditions.

An ecological model was used to predict system-wide secondary production for two trophic groups of benthic organisms in response to different freshwater inflow regimes that result from the climatic ecotone along the Texas coast. The bioenergetic model was calibrated using an 11-year dataset (from 1988 to 1999) and validated with a 20-year data (from 1988 to 2008) from four estuaries in South Texas: Lavaca-Colorado (LC), Guadalupe (GE), Nueces (NE) and Laguna Madre Estuaries (LM). The estuaries lie in a climatic gradient where LC and GE receive more rainfall than NE, and NE receives more rainfall than LM. Consequently inflow and nutrient loading decreases and salinity increases along the gradient. In addition there is year-to-year variation in rain and inflow that results in wet and dry years. Therefore, this combination of the climatic gradient and temporal variability can be used to identify the effects of inflow variability on estuarine secondary production. Among Texas estuaries, increased salinity (and thus decreased inflow) benefited deposit feeders, while suspension feeders were reduced; thus there is a decrease in functional diversity when salinity is increased because of loss of a trophic guild. Within estuaries, the upstream benthic community is reduced by reduced inflow, whereas, the downstream community increases with reduced inflow and higher salinities. This is because lower salinity regimes are required to support food production for suspension feeders, and polyhaline deposit feeding species increase during marine conditions. This study demonstrates that freshwater inflow is important to maintain secondary productivity and functional diversity in estuaries, which is required to maintain estuarine health and sustainability.

AN - 1080605701; 15392 AB - PURPOSE: A new management plan for Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary (FBNMS) in American Samoa is proposed. The sanctuary was designated in 1986 to protect and preserve an example of a pristine tropical marine habitat and coral reef terrace ecosystem of exceptional biological productivity. Fagatele Bay is located along the southwestern coast of Tutuila Island and is the smallest and most remote of the national marine sanctuaries as well as the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. FBNMS encompasses 0.25 square miles of reef flat, shallow reef, and steep slopes plunging down to 600 feet within a naturally protected bay surrounded by steep cliffs. The bays coral reefs provide habitat for at least 271 species of fishes, 168 species of coral and at least 1,400 species of algae and invertebrates. Marine mammals and sea turtles may also be found in or near the sanctuary. This final EIS analyzes a No Action Alternative and four action alternatives. The No Action Alternative would continue current management under the original 1984 plan. Under Alternative 1, an updated management plan would include new goals and the addition of a management permit. Alternative 2 would expand FBNMS to two sanctuary units, while Alternatives 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B would expand the sanctuary to five or six sanctuary units with a suite of habitat protection, fishery, and other regulations. Alternative 3B is the preferred alternative and would incorporate five additional units: the Larsen Bay unit (Fagalua cove and Fogamaa cove) located along the southern coast of Tutuila; Aunuu Island located just off the southeastern shore of Tutuila; Tau Island; Rose Atoll (Muliava); and Swains Island. The Fagatele Bay unit would retain the same boundaries, but the entire unit would be designated no-take. The Muliava unit would encompass the marine portions of the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument, with an extension of the northwestern boundary to include 59.8 square miles of waters surrounding the Vailuluu Seamount. The unit would not overlay the Rose Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. All of the other units would occur completely within territorial waters, encompassing both shallow reef and deep waters, and extend to the mean high water line of the coast. The proposed action would increase the overall size of the sanctuary from 0.25 square miles to 13,568.5 square miles. Ninety-nine percent of this expansion would be from the designation of the marine areas of the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. As a result of the proposed incorporation of five additional units across the archipelago, the sanctuary name would be changed to the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new plan would chart the course for the sanctuary over the next five to 10 years and provide more protection for marine and cultural resources as well as new opportunities for research. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some adverse impacts to fisheries would result from use restrictions within the sanctuary units. Land-based operations including agricultural activities, utility discharge, and construction may experience impacts if they cause pollutants to enter sanctuary waters in violation of the discharge prohibition. The loss of revenue due to fishery restrictions is expected to be small due to the diminishing level of nearshore fisheries and the small amount of reef area that is closed to all fishing.

AN - 1080605693; 15390 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a multi-species habitat conservation plan (HCP) and the issuance of incidental take permits (ITPs) to cover continued timber harvest and other timber management activities in Siskiyou County, California are proposed. The Fruit Growers Supply Company is seeking authorization so that activities associated with the HCP would comply with the Endangered Species Act while providing protection for five species that are either listed or could become listed during the proposed 50-year permit term. The applicant manages its forestlands for timber production and the plan area includes the applicant's 152,178-acre Hilt/Siskiyou ownership in Northern California. The ITPs requested of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would allow for the take of three species of anadromous salmonids: the threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California Coasts coho salmon; and two currently unlisted species, the Klamath and Trinity Rivers Chinook salmon and the Klamath Mountains Province steelhead. ITPs requested of the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) would allow for the take of the threatened northern spotted owl. The multi-species habitat conservation plan would also address conservation measures for the endangered Yreka phlox plant. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, which is the preferred alternative, ITPs would be issued with a 50-year term and the applicant would continue to conduct timber harvest and related operations. The applicant would also implement its proposed HCP with habitat-based components focused on maintaining aquatic and terrestrial habitats used by the covered species. Alternative A would be similar to the proposed action but would differ in the manner in which conservation support areas for northern spotted owl are selected and in the level of protection to aquatic species provided by riparian buffers. Under Alternative B, the FWS would issue an ITP covering northern spotted owl, but the NMFS would not issue an ITP for the three species of anadromous salmonids. Alternative B would also take a different approach to northern spotted owl conservation by providing moderate quality foraging and dispersal habitat as mitigation for incidental take. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Authorization of the proposed action would enable the applicant to continue to economically operate its commercial timberlands for the long-term while providing broad protection and conservation for listed and unlisted species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all alternatives, timber operations and road maintenance on privately owned commercial timber lands would continue to impact riparian areas and influence the availability and quality of wildlife habitat.

AN - 1074616148; 15388 AB - PURPOSE: Alternatives for the 2013-2014 biennial harvest specifications and management measures for fisheries covered by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California are proposed. In addition, Amendment 21-2 to the FMP is proposed in order to reinstate a provision that was inadvertently deleted in a previous amendment. The proposed action would establish the overfishing limit, allowable biological catch, and annual catch limit (ACL) for management units (stocks, stock complexes, and geographic subdivisions of stocks). For overfished species the ACL is based on the rebuilding plan, intended to rebuild the stock in as short a time as possible taking into account the status and biology, the needs of fishing communities, and the interaction of the overfished stock with the marine ecosystem. Accountability measures (AMs) are proposed to prevent catch from exceeding the annual limits set for management units. Fisheries subject to AMs include at-sea fisheries targeting Pacific whiting, the shoreside individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery, limited entry fixed gear (pot and longline) fisheries, and a variety of other fisheries catching groundfish, either as target species or incidentally. Seven Pacific Coast groundfish species have been declared overfished and are managed under rebuilding plans: bocaccio rockfish, canary rockfish, cowcod, darkblotched rockfish, Pacific ocean perch (POP), petrale sole, and yelloweye rockfish. For five of the seven overfished species new information confirms that the harvest rate in the current rebuilding plan will result in the stock being rebuilt by the target year and no changes in their rebuilding plans are proposed. For two overfished species, canary rockfish and POP, the most recent information reveals that it is unlikely that they can rebuild by the current target year even if all catch of these stocks was prohibited beginning in 2013. This draft EIS evaluates nine integrated alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives incorporate the best available scientific information from current stock assessments to estimate stock status and harvestable yield projections, while the No Action Alternative represents specifications and management measures for 2012. The integrated alternatives include the following elements: setting harvest specifications for 32 groundfish management units; applying deductions to the ACLs to account for activities not directly managed through this action; allocating fishing opportunity to different groundfish fisheries based on the fishery harvest guidelines; and identifying AMs used to prevent harvest from exceeding the ACLs adopted for each stock. Only the ACLs for canary rockfish and POP vary both between the No Action and the action alternatives and among the action alternatives. For these two stocks the harvest rate in the rebuilding plan would be maintained, resulting in a revision in the target rebuilding year. Applying the rebuilding plan harvest rate, canary rockfish is projected to rebuild in 2030 rather than the rebuilding plan target year of 2027, while POP is projected to rebuild by 2051 rather than the current rebuilding plan target year of 2020. The preliminary preferred alternative of the Pacific Fishery Management Council is Alternative 1. Measures would include: modifications to the boundaries defining rockfish conservation areas; allowing unused amounts of the ACL set aside to be allocated to commercial fisheries; a technical correction for catch accounting between limited entry and open access portions of the fishery; removing the lingcod length limit in the shorebased IFQ fishery; allowing recreational shelf rockfish retention in the cowcod conservation area; removing the California recreational bocaccio size limit; and a correction to regulations for vessels switching from the primary sablefish fishery to the daily trip limit fishery. Compared to the No Action Alternative, the ACL for canary rockfish would be increased by nine metric tons while the POP ACL would be reduced by 30 metric tons. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The specifications and management measures would conserve and manage Pacific Coast groundfish fishery resources to prevent overfishing, to rebuild overfished stocks, to facilitate long-term protection of essential fish habitats, and to realize the full potential of the fishery resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All fishery sectors would lose ex-vessel revenues under the action alternatives. Limited entry fixed gear sector ex-vessel revenue would decline by an estimated $3.8 million, mainly due to the lower ACL for sablefish, which is the most valuable species coastwide. Under the preferred alternative, nearshore open access fixed gear ex-vessel revenue would decline by $539,000 to $733,000. Non-nearshore open access fixed gear revenue would decline by an estimated $539,000 and tribal fisheries revenue would decline by an estimated $1 million. Across all groundfish fishery sectors the preferred alternative would result in a revenue decline of between $8.9 and $9.2 million.

AN - 1074615816; 15382 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of annual quotas to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) for a subsistence hunt of bowhead whales by Alaska Natives for the years 2013 through 2017/2018 is proposed. Under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) approves overall five-year or six-year subsistence catch limits for the Western Arctic stock of bowhead whales based upon the needs of Native hunters in Alaskan villages and in Russian villages along the Chukotka Peninsula. The AEWC allocates the International Whaling Commission quota among the eleven Alaska Eskimo communities that hunt whales: Gambell, Savoonga, Wales, Little Diomede, Kivalina, Point Hope, Point Lay, Wainwright, Barrow, Nuiqsut and Kaktovik. The Western Arctic stock of bowhead whales, which remains listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, occurs in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. All four action alternatives would grant the AEWC an annual strike quota of 67 bowhead whales. Alternative 2A would limit the take to a total of 255 landed whales over the five years 2013 through 2017. Alternative 2B would limit the take to a total of 306 landed whales over the six years 2013 through 2018. Alternative 3A would limit the take to a total of 255 landed whales over five years and allow up to 15 previously unused strikes from the previous year to be added to the annual strike quota. Alternative 3B is the preliminary preferred alternative and would grant the AEWC an annual strike quota of 67 bowhead whales, not to exceed a total of 306 landed whales over the six years 2013 through 2018, with no more than 15 previously unused strikes from the previous year added to the annual strike quota. The preferred alternative would authorize a maximum harvest of 82 bowheads in a single year, if the authorized carry-over of 15 unused strikes were to occur, and would maintain the status quo for six years with respect to management of the hunt. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Permitting would fulfill the federal governments trust responsibility to recognize the cultural and subsistence needs of Alaska Natives while managing the conservation of the Western Arctic stock of bowhead whales. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative selected, the magnitude, geographic extent, and duration of the whale mortality resulting from issuance and use of the quota would be negligible. The overall effects of human activities associated with subsistence whaling under Alternative 3B would result in a minor impact on the Western Arctic bowhead whale stock.

In our study, we examined whether this association is influenced by differences among predator species in foraging modes (travel cost, surface feeder or diver) or whether the predator species is a central place forager or not. We examined distributions of two seabird species during their nesting period, the surface-feeding black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) and the pursuit-diving thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia), and two baleen whale species, the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), in relation to two key prey, age-1 walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and euphausiids (Euphausiidae). Prey surveys were conducted once each year during 2004 and 2006-2010. Concurrent predator surveys were conducted in 2006-2010 (seabirds) and 2008 and 2010 (whales). We compared the seabird and whale foraging locations to where age-1 pollock and euphausiids were concentrated and considered the persistence of these concentrations, where the time-scale of persistence is year (i.e., a comparison among surveys that are conducted once each year). Euphausiids were widespread and concentrations often were reliably found within specific 37km37km blocks ('persistent hot spots of prey'). In contrast, age-1 pollock were more concentrated and their hot spots were persistent only on coarser scales (>37km). Both seabird species, regardless of foraging mode, were associated with age-1 pollock but not with euphausiids, even though age-1 pollock were less persistent than euphausiids. The higher travel cost central place foragers, thick-billed murres, foraged at prey concentrations nearer their island colonies than black-legged kittiwakes, which were more widespread foragers. Humpback whales were not tied to a central place and mostly were located only where euphausiids were concentrated, and further, often in locations where these concentrations were persistent. Fin whales were associated with locations where age-1 pollock were more likely, similar to black-legged kittiwakes and thick-billed murres, but their association with euphausiids was unclear. Our results suggest that a predator's foraging mode and their restrictions during breeding affect their response to prey persistence.

From 1972-2000, there was high interannual variability of areal extent of sea ice during spring (March-April). In 2000, this shifted to a 5-year (2001-2005) period of low ice extent during spring, which transitioned to a 4-year (2007-2010) period of extensive sea ice. High (low) areal extent of sea ice in spring was associated with cold (warm) water column temperatures for the following 6-7 months. The ocean currents also differed between warm and cold years. During cold years, the monthly-mean currents over the shelf were largely westward, while in warm years the direction of currents was more variable, with northward flow during December-February and relatively weak flow during the remainder of the year. The types and abundance of zooplankton differed sharply between warm and cold years. This was especially true during the prolonged warm period (2001-2005) and cold period (2007-2010), and was less evident during the years of high interannual variability. During the warm period, there was a lack of large copepods and euphausiids over the shelf; however, their populations rebounded during cold period. Small crustacean zooplankton taxa did not appear to vary between and warm and cold years. For both walleye pollock and Pacific cod, year-class strength (recruitment) was low during the prolonged warm period, but improved during the following cold period. Year-class strength did not appear to vary as a function of warm and cold years during the period of high year-to-year variability. Also, recruitment of arrowtooth flounder (a predator of pollock and cod) did not appear influenced by the warm or cold years. Finally, the distribution and relative abundance of fin whales appeared to differ in warm and cold years, with fewer whales on the southeastern, middle shelf during warm years.

Many of the predicted ecosystem changes will result from alterations in the timing and extent of sea ice. It is predicted that the sea ice in the northern Bering Sea will be less common in May, but will continue to be extensive through April. In contrast, the southern shelf will have, on average, much less sea ice than currently observed, but with large interannual and multiyear variability until at least 2050. Thus, even under current climate warming scenarios, bottom temperatures on the northern shelf will remain cold. Based on biophysical measurements, the southern and northern ecosystems were divided by a North-South Transition at similar to 60 degree N. The northern middle shelf was characterized by a freshwater lens at the surface, cold bottom temperatures, and a thicker pycnocline than found on the southern shelf. Subsurface phytoplankton blooms were common. In contrast, the southern shelf stratification was largely determined by temperature alone; the pycnocline was thin (often<3m) and subsurface blooms were uncommon. Biological responses to climate warming could include greater north-south differences in zooplankton community structure, the transport of large Outer Shelf Domain crustacean zooplankton to the middle shelf, and the disappearance of two principal prey taxa (Calanus spp. and Thysanoessa spp.) of planktivorous fish, seabirds and whales. The response of commercially and ecologically important fish species is predicted to vary. Some species of fish (e.g., juvenile sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka) may expand their summer range into the northern Bering Sea; some (e.g., pink salmon, O. gorbuscha) may increase in abundance while still other species (e.g., walleye pollock and arrowtooth flounder; Theragra chalcogramma and Atheresthes stomias, respectively) are unlikely to become common in the north. The projected warming of the southern shelf will limit the distribution of arctic species (e.g., snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio) to the northern shelf and will likely permit expansion of subarctic species into the southern Bering Sea. The distribution and abundance of baleen whales will respond to shifts in prey availability; for instance, if prey are advected northward from the southeastern Bering Sea, an extension of range and an increase in seasonally migratory baleen whale numbers is anticipated. Thus, alteration of this ecosystem in response to climate change is expected to result in something other than a simple northward shift in the distribution of all species.

Projections from these models for the 21st century are the basis for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Here, we use simulations from this set of climate models developed for the IPCC AR4 to provide a regional assessment of sea ice extent, sea surface temperature (SST), and surface air temperature (SAT) critical to future marine ecosystems in the Bering Sea and the Chukchi Sea. To reduce uncertainties associated with the model projections, a two-step model culling technique is applied based on comparison to 20th century observations. For the Chukchi Sea, data and model projections show major September sea ice extent reduction compared to the 20th century beginning now, with nearly sea ice free conditions before mid-century. Earlier sea ice loss continues throughout fall with major loss in December before the end of the 21st century. By 2050, for the eastern Bering Sea, spring sea ice extent (average of March to May) would be 58% of its recent values (1980-1999 mean). December will become increasingly sea ice free over the next 40 years. The Bering Sea will continue to show major interannual variability in sea ice extent and SST. The majority of models had no systematic bias in their 20th century simulated regional SAT, an indication that the models may provide considerable credibility for the Bering and the Chukchi Sea ecosystem projections. Largest air temperature increases are in fall (November to December) for both the Chukchi and the Bering Sea, with increases by 2050 of 3 degree C for the Bering Sea and increases in excess of 5 degree C for the Chukchi Sea.

We put these recent events into the context of the 95-year air temperature record from St. Paul Island and with concurrent spatial meteorological fields. For March 2000-2005 the mean air temperature anomaly at St. Paul was 2.1 degree C above the long-term mean, and for March 2007-2010 the mean temperature anomaly at St. Paul was 4.7 degree C below the long-term mean. The only multi-year temperature deviations comparable to the first decade of the 2000s are a cold event from 1971 to 1976 followed by a warm event from 1978 to 1983. There was also a short warm event 1935-1937. The temperature transition between warm and cold events in the 1970s and 2000s took two years. While there are theoretical arguments for some physical memory processes in the North Pacific climate system, we cannot rule out that the recent warm and cold events are of a random nature: they are rare in the St. Paul temperature record, they are dominated by North Pacific-wide sea level pressure events rather than local Bering Sea processes, and they are consistent with a red noise model of climate variability. The 1970s transition appears to have an ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) influence, while the recent events are likely connected to Arctic-wide warming. Evidence provided by the 95-year St. Paul meteorological record reinforces the idea that a red-noise model of climate variability is appropriate for the North Pacific and southeastern Bering Sea. We stress the importance of relatively rare sub-decadal events and shifts, rather than multi-decadal variability associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Thus, in the future we can expect large positive and negative excursions in the region that can last for multiple years, but there is as yet little predictability for their timing and duration.

On the Eastern Bering Sea shelf, in the absence of strong wind mixing, stratification can be initiated by the melting of seasonal sea ice or by springtime warming of the surface. Temperature and salinity both influence the stratification of the Eastern Bering Sea shelf with their relative importance varying spatially and temporally. In the northern middle shelf domain (north of similar to 60 degree N), salinity stratification is often as important as temperature stratification. On the southern middle shelf, while the influence of temperature on stratification dominates during summer, the influence of salinity stratification plays a role in the interannual variability. Mooring 2 (M2; 56.9 degree N, 164.1 degree W) has been deployed at similar to 70m depth in the southern middle shelf domain since 1995. Data from this mooring show that stratification typically begins to set up in May and to break down in September/October, but these dates can vary by >30d. While no trend is found in the timing of the spring setup, the fall stratification breakdown exhibited a trend toward later breakdown ( similar to 2d later per year from 1996 to 2009). Results suggest that it may be difficult to forecast stratification on the Eastern Bering Sea shelf from climate models as simple indices of wind mixing or heat fluxes are not correlated with stratification. Contrary to intuition, the strength of summer stratification is not correlated with depth averaged temperature. Warm years such as 2000 and 2001 can have low stratification and cold years such as 2007 can have very high stratification. This decoupling of stratification and temperature has implications for forecasting the ecosystem in the face of climate change, as we cannot assume that projections of a warmer climate simply imply higher stratification in the future.

Here, we combine multifrequency acoustic survey methods, physics-based models of euphausiid backscatter, and net sampling to provide a means of monitoring the status and trends of euphausiid standing stock biomass on the Bering Sea shelf. Observations made using this approach during six summers (2004 and 2006-2010) indicate that standing stocks of euphausiids and pollock were inversely correlated over time as well as in space across the continental shelf. First-order calculations show that when pollock abundance was at its peak during these years, the pollock stock could have consumed 10-87% of the euphausiid standing stock between May and September. We hypothesize that predation by pollock is a significant top-down control on euphausiid standing stock in this system.

However, trends in relative abundance and other shifts in community structure with latitude, which can be more sensitive to environmental shifts such as climate change, have received less attention. Here we investigate latitudinal trends in the seafloor community of the eastern Bering Sea using catches of fishes and epibenthic invertebrates in bottom trawl surveys conducted from 1982 to 2010. Our results indicate that the overall biomass of the epibenthic community declines with increasing latitude in the eastern Bering Sea. This latitudinal trend is primarily driven by declining fish catches in the northern Bering Sea, which in turn reflects changes in the structure of the fish community. The fish fauna in northern latitudes is increasingly dominated by gadids, though the species composition of the gadid fauna also changes with latitude, with smaller species becoming more common in the north. The biomass of the invertebrate megafauna remains relatively consistent throughout the eastern Bering Sea, but invertebrates make up a larger proportion of the catch in bottom trawls conducted at higher latitudes. The epibenthic invertebrate megafauna in the eastern Bering Sea is composed primarily of sea stars (Asteriidae) and oregoniid crabs (Chionoecetes and Hyas), though no clear latitudinal trends in the invertebrate community are evident. Limited trawl data from the eastern Chukchi Sea indicate that the fish community farther north is even more heavily dominated by gadids, and the epibenthic invertebrate community is dominated by asteriid sea stars. Temperature data from bottom trawl surveys in the southeastern Bering Sea over the past decade indicate that there was a distinct temperature shift around 2005, and the relatively warm years of 2001-2005 were followed by five relatively cold years. This shift in the summer temperature regime of the Bering Sea has resulted in lower fish catches, particularly in the "cold pool" region (58-61 degree N), and a higher proportion of epibenthic invertebrates in the bottom trawl catches of the past 5 years.

Transect survey effort ranged from 1188km in 1999 to 3761km in 2002. Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) were the most common large whale in all years except 2004 when humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) were more abundant. Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) were the most common small cetacean in all years. Abundance estimates were calculated by year for each oceanographic domain: coastal, middle, and outer/slope. The middle and outer/slope domains were divided into two strata ("north" and "south") because of variable survey effort. The distribution and abundance of baleen whales changed between the earlier (colder) and later (warmer) survey years. Fin whales consistently occupied the outer shelf and secondarily the middle shelf, and their abundance was an order of magnitude greater in cold compared to warm years. Humpback whales "lived on the margin" of the northern Alaska Peninsula, eastern Aleutian Islands and Bristol Bay; their preferred habitat is possibly associated with areas of high prey availability due to nutrient upwelling and aggregation mechanisms. Minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) occur shoreward of fin whales in the outer and middle shelf and in coastal habitats along the Alaska Peninsula. The highest abundance for this species was observed in a cold (1999) year. No clear relationship emerged for odontocetes with regard to warm and cold years. Dall's porpoise occupied both outer and middle domains and harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) were more common in middle and coastal domains. This study provided a unique, broad-scale assessment of cetacean distribution and abundance on the eastern Bering Sea shelf and a baseline for future comparisons.

This contamination arises from the diverse population of volatile organics and inorganics in the atmosphere. Such surface contamination can affect the uncertainties in determination of thickness, roughness and density of thin-film structures by x-ray reflectometry (XRR). Here we study the effect of a 0.5 nm carbon surface contamination layer on thickness determination for a 20 nm titanium nitride thin film on silicon. Uncertainties calculated using Markov-chain Monte Carlo Bayesian statistical methods from simulated data of clean and contaminated TiN thin films are compared at varying degrees of data quality to study (1) whether synchrotron sources cope better with contamination than laboratory sources and (2) whether cleaning off the surface of thin films prior to XRR measurement is necessary. We show that, surprisingly, contributions to uncertainty from surface contamination can dominate uncertainty estimates, leading to minimal advantages in using synchrotron-over laboratory-intensity data. Further, even prior knowledge of the exact nature of the surface contamination does not significantly reduce the contamination's contribution to the uncertainty in the TiN layer thickness. We conclude, then, that effective and standardized cleaning protocols are necessary to achieve high levels of accuracy in XRR measurement.

AN - 1039879649; 15374 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the U.S. Navy's Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar for detection of submarines is proposed. The system would be used in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea. Under the proposed plan, the Navy would operate up to four SURTASS LFA sonar systems worldwide. A set of low frequency acoustic transmitting source elements, known as projectors, hang by cable beneath a ship and produce the active sonar signal or "ping". The passive, or listening, component of the system is SURTASS, which detects running echoes from submerged objects through the use of hydrophones on a receiving array that is towed behind the ship. The use of the system would include routine testing, training, and operations. The final overseas EIS of January 2001 considered a No Action Alternative, an alternative providing for geographic restrictions and monitoring to prevent injury to potentially affected marine species, and an alternative providing for unrestricted operation of the system. A 2007 final supplement addressed deficiencies in the final EIS identified by the Ninth District Court in 2003, and provided additional information related to the proposed action. A preferred alternative was identified which would exclude areas in order to prevent 180-decibel (dB) sound pressure level or greater within a specific geographic range of land and in nine offshore biologically important areas (OBIAs) during biologically important seasons, and to prevent greater than 145-dB sound pressure level at known recreational and commercial dive sites. This second final supplemental overseas EIS addresses concerns identified in the February 6, 2008 opinion of the District Court for the Northern District of California relative to compliance with the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Information is also provided to support the proposed issuance of MMPA incidental take permits. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered. Under Alternative 1, which is the same as the preferred alternative identified in the previous supplement, the system would be operated such that coverage prevented exposure to 180-dB sound levels within 12 nautical miles of land. Under Alternative 2, which is the new preferred alternative, SURTASS LFA sonar would not be used within 21 designated marine mammal OBIAs. The coastal standoff range would also be observed. In addition, transmissions would be suspended whenever visual, passive acoustic, and active acoustic monitoring detects the presence of marine mammals and sea turtles. The analysis presented in this EIS does not apply to the use of the system in armed conflict or direct combat support operations, nor does it apply to system use during periods of heightened threat conditions as determined by the National Command Authority. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the SURTASS system would respond to the need to detect increasingly quiet enemy submarines, eliminating a threat to the Navy's antisubmarine warfare mission and, hence, to the nation's security. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During employment of the system, acoustic signals would be introduced into the water column that could affect the marine environment, including marine mammals which depend upon sound as a means of communicating and identifying objects. With mitigation measures, any effects are expected to be minimal.

AN - 1039879647; 15372 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge which carries US 50 across Sinepuxent Bay in Worcester County, Maryland is proposed. The bridge marks the eastern extent of US 50, entering the Town of Ocean City aligned with Caroline Street. The study corridor encompasses the portions of Ocean City from Maryland Highway (MD) 611 to MD 378 (Baltimore Avenue) in the east-west direction, and the areas between 5th Street and Somerset Street in the north-south direction. The 69-year-old bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to its narrow curb-to-curb roadway width, which is substandard for the traffic volumes that it accommodates, particularly during summer months. This final EIS discusses the five alternatives detailed in the draft EIS of April 2008, as well as two additional alternatives that were developed based on comments from local elected officials and the Ocean City Town Manager. Alternative 5A is the preferred alternative and would include a new parallel bridge just north of US 50, tying back into Division Street. The bridge would have a 30-foot high draw span and carry inbound and outbound traffic on four lanes. The typical section includes a 7-foot shoulder and 5-foot 8-inch sidewalk along both sides of the roadway with a 6-foot median. St. Louis Avenue would need to be relocated underneath US 50 to continue the north/south connection. The preferred alternative also incorporates removal of the current bridges bascule span. Future studies would determine whether to retain any portion of the existing bridge for use by pedestrians or as a recreational facility (fishing pier). The cost of the preferred alternative is estimated in the range of $310 to $325 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new bridge would provide a safe and efficient crossing of the bay and access to and from the commercial center of Ocean City. It would correct deficiencies for one of three emergency evacuation routes from the barrier peninsula and the higher draw span would reduce the number of required bridge openings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Three acres of new right-of-way would displace six residences and two businesses. Construction would also result in the partial loss of a small tidal wetland along the north side of US 50 at the western edge of the bay. The project would encroach upon 2.2 acres of 100-year floodplain and create 5.3 acres of new impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff into the bay. Dredging and other construction activities would disturb bay bottom sediments and cause fish and marine turtles to avoid the area temporarily. The removal of the bascule span from the existing bridge would destroy a primary element of an historic property.

There is extensive literature on the computation and analysis of response rates for demographic surveys, which are generally characterized by multi-stage designs with heterogeneous populations within selected clusters. In contrast, business surveys are characterized by single-stage designs with highly skewed populations. Consequently, business surveys in the Economic Directorate of the U.S. Census Bureau compute two "flavors" of response rates: the unit response rate (URR), defined as the rate of the total unweighted number of "responding" units to the total number of sampled units eligible for tabulation; and a total quantity response rate (TQRR), which is the weighted proportion of a key estimate reported by responding units or obtained from equivalent quality sources (Lineback and Thompson 2010). Thus, for each statistical period, a survey produces one unit response rate and several total quantity response rates -- one per key item. In this article, we describe how these two rates are computed, then introduce a statistical process control analysis perspective for monitoring them. We illustrate this approach with examples from ongoing economic programs conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Adapted from the source document.

Six management lessons learned are presented: (1) the exchange and integration of information is key; (2) decision makers must stay abreast of information and be ready to make quick decisions, even if based on incomplete information; (3) formal program management processes proved valuable but to get full value they must be in place early; (4) care, consistency, and accountability in applying existing project management and systems engineering best practices must be taken in managing contracts; (5) there is a need for integration of technology with business and operational needs focusing on the insertion, acquisition, testing, and deployment of technology; and (6) the U.S. Census Bureau should carefully determine where its expertise lies and focus its resources there.

We conducted a comparative study of extant primates to examine whether their teeth also adapt to foods through variation in the mechanical properties of the enamel. Nanoindentation techniques were used to map profiles of elastic modulus and hardness across tooth sections from the enamel-dentin junction to the outer enamel surface in a broad sample of primates including apes, Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, and lemurs. The measured data profiles feature considerable overlap among species, indicating a high degree of commonality in mechanical properties. These results suggest that differences in the load-bearing capacity of primate molar teeth are more a function of morphology - particularly tooth size and enamel thickness - than of underlying mechanical properties.

We evaluated whether this method offers a simple and quick way to sample cells from live marine turtles in the wild when it is not feasible to obtain blood or skin. Good-quality DNA was obtained for genetic analyses from both buccal and cloacal swabs. Although we recommend blood and skin sampling whenever possible to collect the highest quality DNA, buccal and cloacal swabs do represent a useful alternative for genetic sampling when these preferred methods are not feasible.

Due to years of intense harvesting for its meat, D. mawii has been virtually eliminated from much of its former range in southern Mexico, while its status in Guatemala remains unclear. During April and May 2010, we conducted a countrywide survey in Belize to assess the current conservation status of D. mawii in what is believed to be its last stronghold. We surveyed approximately 30 localities from deep southern to extreme northern Belize, including 17 areas previously surveyed during the early 1980s and 1990s. Results indicate D. mawii is heavily depleted in most of Belize, but healthy populations remain in a few remote areas (including multiple, previously unsurveyed localities in southern Belize), especially those receiving some level of protection. While this mirrors the trend observed in previous surveys, the current findings are of particular concern because the number of localities where turtles were observed and the number of turtles observed at these localities were both much reduced compared to earlier surveys. Large turtles (reproductive adults) continue to be targeted during harvests, significantly reducing the most demographically important segment of the population. Further, interviews with fishermen and hunters indicate that laws and regulations enacted for the protection of D. mawii are largely ignored by locals, as broad-scale enforcement is difficult or impossible to achieve. In this paper, we discuss survey results in the context of previous investigations, describe levels and sources of exploitation, and provide conservation recommendations.

We present a set of preparation and measurement methods to be used as the foundation for studying the surface chemical memory of engineered NP aggregates. We attempt to bridge the gap between controlled lab studies and real-world NP samples, specifically TiO sub(2), by using well-characterized and consistently synthesized NPs, controllably producing NP aggregates with precision drop-on-demand inkjet printing for subsequent chemical measurements, monitoring the physical morphology of the NP aggregate depositions with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), acquiring "surface-to-bulk" mass spectra of the NP aggregate surfaces with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), and developing a data analysis scheme to interpret chemical signatures more accurately from thousands of data files. We present differences in mass spectral peak ratios for bare TiO sub(2) NPs compared to NPs mixed separately with natural organic matter (NOM) or pond water. The results suggest that subtle changes in the local environment can alter the surface chemistry of TiO sub(2) NPs, as monitored by Ti super(+)/TiO super(+) and Ti super(+)/C sub(3)H sub(5) super(+) peak ratios. The subtle changes in the absolute surface chemistry of NP aggregates vs.that of the subsurface are explored. It is envisioned that the methods developed herein can be adapted for monitoring the surface chemistries of a variety of engineered NPs obtained from diverse natural environments.

The total discharged activity of (super 137) Cs is estimated to be 2 to 15 petabequerels. A weak southward current along the Fukushima coast was responsible for the initial transport direction, while mesoscale eddy-like structures and surface-current systems contributed to dispersion in areas beyond the continental shelf. Most of the discrepancies among the models in April are caused by differences in how the mesoscale current structures off the Ibaraki coast are represented.

This long-term data set was used to examine (1) the persistence and stability of the Martis Creek fish assemblage in the face of environmental stochasticity; (2) whether native and alien fishes responded differently to a natural hydrologic regime (e.g., timing and magnitude of high and low flows); and (3) the importance of various hydrologic and physical habitat variables in explaining the abundances of native and alien fish species through time. Our results showed that fish assemblages were persistent at all sample sites, but individual species exhibited marked interannual variability in density, biomass, and relative abundance. The density and biomass of native fishes generally declined over the period of study, whereas most alien species showed no significant long-term trends. Only alien rainbow trout increased in both density and biomass at all sites over time. Redundancy analysis identified three hydrologic variables (annual 7-day minimum discharge, maximum winter discharge, and number of distinct winter floods) and two habitat variables (percentage of pool habitat and percentage of gravel substrate) that each explained a significant portion of the annual variation in fish assemblage structure. For alien taxa, their proportional contribution to the total fish assemblage was inversely related to mean annual streamflow, one-day maximum discharge in both winter and spring, and the frequency of springtime floods. Results of this study highlight the need for continuous annual monitoring of streams with highly variable flow regimes to evaluate shifts in fish community structure. Apparent successes or failures in stream management may appear differently depending on the time series of available data.

Depending upon the host species, associated protistan prevalences could be as low as 5% or approach 100%. It has generally been assumed that reported prevalences translated directly into significant mortalities that could impact the distribution and abundance of affected populations. However, this assumption may be incorrect especially when the dynamics of host-pathogen-environment interactions are not entirely understood. We will discuss the presumed impact of several protistan pathogens on temperate and cold water commercial crab species. By using selected examples such as a ciliate in the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) and Hematodinium sp. infections in North Pacific crabs, we will attempt to contrast differences between prevalence and mortality, acute and chronic infections/mortalities, age or size selectivity of affected population, and geographically restricted and widespread epizootics. We will also briefly discuss the potential impact of environmental changes such as climate change and ocean acidification on both host and protistan pathogen.

Updrafts and vertical wind shear can maintain this otherwise transient size sorting, resulting in prolonged regions of ongoing particle sorting in storms. This study quantifies the impact of size sorting on the S-band polarimetric radar variables (radar reflectivity factor at horizontal polarization Z sub(H), differential reflectivity Z sub(DR), specific differential phase K sub(DP), and the copolar cross-correlation coefficient rho sub(hv)). These variables are calculated from output of two idealized bin models: a one-dimensional model of pure raindrop fallout and a two-dimensional rain shaft encountering vertical wind shear. Additionally, errors in the radar variables as simulated by single-, double-, and triple-moment bulk microphysics parameterizations are quantified for the same size sorting scenarios. Size sorting produces regions of sparsely concentrated large drops with a lack of smaller drops, causing Z sub(DR) enhancements as large as 1 dB in areas of decreased Z sub(H), often along a Z sub(H) gradient. Such areas of enhanced Z sub(DR) are offset from those of high Z sub(H) and K sub(DP). Illustrative examples of polarimetric radar observations in a variety of precipitation regimes demonstrate the widespread occurrence of size sorting and are consistent with the bin model simulations. Single-moment schemes are incapable of size sorting, leading to large underestimations in Z sub(DR) (>2 dB) compared to the bin model solution. Double-moment schemes with a fixed spectral shape parameter produce excessive size sorting by incorrectly increasing the number of large raindrops, overestimating Z sub(DR) by 2-3 dB. Three-moment schemes with variable shape parameters better capture the narrowing drop size distribution resulting from size sorting but can underestimate Z sub(DR) and overestimate K sub(DP) by as much as 20%. Implications for polarimetric radar data assimilation into storm-scale numerical weather prediction models are discussed.

An aerosol-perturbed domain of size 120 km is prescribed in the middle of the larger-scale domain of size 1100 km. Aerosol perturbations in the mesoscale domain result in an intensification of convection in a mesoscale convective system (MCS). This leads to an intensification of the larger-scale circulations, which in turn leads to an intensification of the larger-scale subsidence. While the invigorated convection enhances precipitation in the MCS, the intensified larger-scale subsidence acts to increase the larger-scale stability and thus to suppress convection and precipitation in the larger-scale domain. The suppression of precipitation in the larger-scale domain outweighs the enhancement of precipitation in the mesoscale domain, leading to suppressed precipitation over the entire domain. The ramifications of aerosol perturbations therefore need to be considered on scales much larger than the scale of the perturbation.

In the literature, ad hoc approaches are found to determine maximum gap size beyond which not to perform Fourier decomposition. The goal of the present study is to provide a more objective and systematic method to choose the maximum gap size allowed to perform a Fourier analysis on observational data. A Monte Carlo-type experiment is conducted where signals of various wavenumber configurations are generated with gaps of varying size, then a simple interpolation scheme is applied and Fourier decomposition is performed. The wavenumber decomposition is evaluated in a way that requires retrieval of at least 80% of the original amplitude with less than 20 degree phase shift. Maximum allowable gap size is then retrieved for wavenumbers 0-2. When prior assessment of signal configuration is available, the authors believe that the present study can provide valuable guidance for gap size beyond which Fourier decomposition is not advisable.

An analysis of collocated NOAA-18/AVHRR and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO)/Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) observations was used to automatically and globally derive the Bayesian classifiers. The resulting algorithm used six Bayesian classifiers computed separately for seven surface types. Relative to CALIPSO, the final results show a probability of correct detection of roughly 90% over water, deserts, and snow-free land; 82% over the Arctic; and below 80% over the Antarctic. This technique is applied within the NOAA Pathfinder Atmosphere's Extended (PATMOS-x) climate dataset and the Clouds from AVHRR Extended (CLAVR-x) real-time product generation system. Comparisons of the PATMOS-x results with those from International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) indicate close agreement with zonal mean differences in cloud amount being less than 5% over most zones. Most areas of difference coincided with regions where the Bayesian cloud mask reported elevated uncertainties. The ability to report uncertainties is a critical component of this approach.

Empirical relationships exist for converting microwave backscatter retrieved from precipitation particles (represented by an equivalent reflectivity factor Z sub(e)) to precipitation intensity. The reflectivity-snow-rate relationship has the form Z sub(e) = alpha S super( beta ), where S is a liquid-equivalent snow rate and alpha and beta are fitted coefficients. Substantial uncertainty exists in radar-derived values of snow rate because the reflectivity and intensity associated with snow tend to be smaller than those for rain and because of snow-particle drift between radar and surface detection. Uncertainty in radar-derived snow rate is especially evident at the few available high-altitude sites for which a relationship between reflectivity and snow rate has been developed. Using a new type of precipitation sensor and a National Weather Service radar, this work investigates the Z sub(e)-S relationship at a high-altitude site (Cheyenne, Wyoming). The S measurements were made 25 km northwest of the radar on the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains; vertical separation between the radar range gate and the ground was less than 700 m. A meteorological feature of the snowstorms was northeasterly upslope flow of humid air at low levels. The Z sub(e)-S data pairs were fitted with beta = 2. The finding of this study for Cheyenne, alpha = 110 mm super(4) h super(2) m super(-3), is bounded by previous determinations made at other high-altitude National Weather Service sites. Also investigated was the temperature dependence of alpha .

The SSMIS data were preprocessed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) using its Unified Preprocessor Package (UPP) and then distributed to the numerical weather prediction centers by the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC). This dataset was assimilated into the Global Forecast System (GFS) using gridpoint statistical interpolation (GSI). The initial assimilation of the SSMIS data into the GFS did not improve the medium-range (5-7 days) forecast skill. The SSMIS bias (O-B) still changes with location and time after the GSI bias-correction scheme is implemented. This bias characteristic is related to residual calibration errors in the correction of the SSMIS antenna emission and warm target contamination. The large O-B standard deviation is probably due to the large instrument noise in the SSMIS UPP data. The large O-B and its standard deviation for several surface sensitive channels are also caused by uncertainty in surface emissivity. In this study, a new scheme is developed to remove regionally dependent bias using a weekly composite O-B. The SSMIS noise is reduced through a Gaussian function filter. A new emissivity database for snow and sea ice is developed for the SSMIS surface sensitive channels. After applying these algorithms, the quality of the SSMIS low-atmospheric sounding (LAS) data is improved; the surface-sensitive channels can be effectively assimilated, and the impacts of SSMIS LAS data on the medium-range forecast in the GFS are positive and similar to those from Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) data.

Despite their protective properties, CPAs can cause damage as a result of osmotically-driven cell volume changes, as well as chemical toxicity. In this study, we have used previously published data to determine a toxicity cost function, a quantity that represents the cumulative damage caused by toxicity. We then used this cost function to define and numerically solve the optimal control problem for CPA equilibration, using human oocytes as representative cell type with high clinical relevance. The resulting toxicity-optimal procedures are predicted to yield significantly less toxicity than conventional stepwise procedures. In particular, our results show that toxicity is minimized during CPA addition by inducing the cell to swell to its maximum tolerable volume and then loading it with CPA while in the swollen state. This counterintuitive result is considerably different from the conventional stepwise strategy, which involves exposure to successively higher CPA concentrations in order to avoid excessive shrinkage. The procedures identified in the present study have the potential to significantly reduce damage due to toxicity and warrant further investigation.

AN - 1020050789; 22354569 AB - Glycosylation, the enzymatic addition of carbohydrates to a protein, is one of the most abundant post-translational modifications found in nature. There is variability in the number, location, and identity of glycans attached. As a result, a glycoprotein consists of a number of glycoforms with different combinations of glycans, potentially resulting in different stability, toxicity, and activity. This is especially important in the biopharmaceutical industry where product consistency and safety are vital. Glycoprotein analysis involves numerous mass spectrometry based techniques, each of which provides various aspects of characterization. The current paper describes two commonly used analytical techniques for glycoprotein characterization. In one experiment, nonspecific proteolysis is combined with a two-tiered mass spectrometry approach (MALDI-TOF and LC-MS/MS) to gain glycosylation site and glycan identity. In a second approach, glycans were enzymatically released, labeled with a fluorescent dye, and analyzed using LC-Fluorescence-MS/MS to give glycan identification and relative quantification. The type and degree of information yielded by each method is assessed in an effort to identify desired reference material characteristics for improving biopharmaceutical glycoanalysis.

Although numerous culprits are recognized, their relative contributions to the decline are poorly quantified, making it difficult to prioritize effective conservation measures. In 2004, a demographic monitoring program was implemented in the Florida Keys (USA), aimed at determining the relative importance of various stressors affecting A. palmata. A subset of randomly selected A. palmata colonies within 15 fore-reef plots was tagged and surveyed three to four times per year over 7 years. Colony size, live tissue, prevalence of disease, snail (Coralliophila abbreviata) predation, physical damage and other conditions were assessed at each survey. The estimated effect of each condition causing recent mortality was ranked, and together, these parameters were used to attribute the population-level tissue loss associated with each condition. In addition, all new colonies in the study plots were counted and assessed annually in order to track trends in total colony count and live tissue abundance. Between 2004 and 2010, the study population has shown more than 50% decline in live area from three main conditions: fragmentation, disease and snail predation. Approximately half of this decline occurred during the catastrophic 2005 hurricane season from which recovery has been minimal. Meanwhile, colony abundance has shown gradual decline throughout the study. Snail predation was the most prevalent condition. However, it ranked third in attributed tissue loss, behind breakage that occurred during the 2005 hurricane season, and disease. Thermal bleaching of A. palmata was not observed during this study. Because mortality continues to outpace recruitment and growth, intervention to ameliorate losses to the more manageable threats including predation and breakage could result in substantial conservation of live tissue, buying time for the abatement of less tractable threats to A. palmata recovery such as climate change and disease.

AN - 1015098162; 22447337 AB - The authors compared blood plasma concentrations of 13 perfluoroalkyl contaminants (PFCs) in five sea turtle species with differing trophic levels. Wild sea turtles were blood sampled from the southeastern region of the United States, and plasma was analyzed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Mean concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), the predominant PFC, increased with trophic level from herbivorous greens (2.41 ng/g), jellyfish-eating leatherbacks (3.95 ng/g), omnivorous loggerheads (6.47 ng/g), to crab-eating Kemp's ridleys (15.7 ng/g). However, spongivorous hawksbills had surprisingly high concentrations of PFOS (11.9 ng/g) and other PFCs based on their trophic level. These baseline concentrations of biomagnifying PFCs demonstrate interesting species and geographical differences. The measured PFOS concentrations were compared with concentrations known to cause toxic effects in laboratory animals, and estimated margins of safety (EMOS) were calculated. Small EMOS (<100), suggestive of potential risk of adverse health effects, were observed for all five sea turtle species for immunosuppression. Estimated margins of safety less than 100 were also observed for liver, thyroid, and neurobehavorial effects for the more highly exposed species. These baseline concentrations and the preliminary EMOS exercise provide a better understanding of the potential health risks of PFCs for conservation managers to protect these threatened and endangered species.

A southern Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of eulachon - that occurs in the California Current and is composed of numerous subpopulations that spawn in rivers from northern California to northern British Columbia - was identified on the basis of ecological and environmental characteristics, and to a lesser extent, genetic and life history variation. Although the northern terrestrial boundary of this DPS remains uncertain, our consensus opinion was that this northern boundary occurs south of the Nass River and that the DPS was discrete from more northern eulachon, as well as significant to the biological species as a whole and thus is a 'species' under the ESA. Eulachon have been nearly absent in northern California for over two decades, have declined in the Fraser River by over 97% in the past 10years, and are at historically low levels in other British Columbia rivers in the DPS, and nearly so in the Columbia River. Major threats to southern eulachon include climate change impacts on ocean and freshwater habitat, by-catch in offshore shrimp trawl fisheries, changes in downstream flow timing and intensity owing to dams and water diversions, and predation. These threats, together with large declines in abundance, indicate that the southern DPS of eulachon is at moderate risk of extinction throughout all of its range. The southern DPS was listed as threatened under the ESA in May 2010 - the first marine forage fish to be afforded these statutory protections, which apply only to waters under U.S. jurisdiction.

AN - 1038038682; 15360 AB - PURPOSE: Demolition, soil stabilization, and seismic improvements within portions of the 2.5-acre property currently occupied by the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) Laboratory in La Jolla, California are proposed. In April 2009, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prepared a final EIS and issued a Record of Decision for its proposed action to replace its SWFSC facilities. The laboratory has been in a precarious position on the edge of a 180-foot eroding high coastal bluff since the El Nino winter of 1997-1998. A new 124,000-square-foot laboratory is under construction across La Jolla Shores Drive from its predecessor at the northern end of the campus of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), on a 3.3-acre undeveloped parcel leased from the University of California at San Diego. The facility will contain seawater aquaria, laboratories, specimen archives, plus a library, conference rooms and office space for the 283 scientists and support staff working at the existing SWFSC, and up to 17 additional staff. Since completion of the final EIS, substantial changes to the proposed action are being considered in light of additional geotechnical information and design recommendations. This final supplemental EIS analyzes additional demolition activities, substantial excavation and grading, installation of a geohazard soil stabilization system, structural upgrade to remaining structures, and other site alterations. In addition to the demolition of Buildings B and C that was analyzed in the final EIS, the proposed action would include the demolition of a majority of Building A, with the retention of only its mechanical equipment room on the basement level. Following demolition activities, on-site excavation would be implemented for the purpose of soil stabilization for Building D, which is to be turned over to SIO for possible future occupancy. After trenches are backfilled using compacted material stored on-site, open areas would be graded for proposed parking areas, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, and landscaping. In addition to the geotechnical stabilization, Building D would undergo a seismic safety upgrade. Major on-site demolition activities would begin in August 2012. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The demolition of Building A and soil stabilization at Building D would better serve the safe and effective longterm reuse of the existing SWFSC property. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Demolition would generate noise and vibrations at nearby academic buildings and residences and could require temporary restrictions on use of local roads. Conversion of some building area to parking and other concrete paving would increase the pollution-generating impervious area by 13,460 square feet.

AN - 1034648016; 15351 AB - PURPOSE: Alternative regulations are proposed to reduce incidental bycatch and mortality of sea turtles in the southeastern U.S. shrimp fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic. The proposed rule would require all vessels using skimmer trawls, pusher-head trawls, and wing nets (butterfly trawls) to use turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in their nets. These gear types are currently authorized to fish without TEDs if they operate under alternative tow time restrictions. The exemption was granted under the assumption that the trawl bags were typically retrieved at intervals that would not be fatal to any sea turtles that were captured in the net. Skimmer trawls are used in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina. Florida is the only state that currently requires TED use by skimmer trawlers working in state waters and, therefore, would not be impacted by a new TED requirement for this gear type. Louisiana hosts the vast majority of skimmer boats, with 2,248 skimmer and butterfly trawlers reporting landings in 2008. In the same year, Mississippi had approximately 62 active skimmer, butterfly, and pusher-head boats, Alabama had 60 active skimmer boats, and North Carolina had 97 skimmer vessels. The National Marine Fisheries Service has documented elevated sea turtle strandings in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, particularly throughout the Mississippi Sound area. In the first three weeks of June 2010, over 120 sea turtle strandings were reported from Mississippi and Alabama waters, none of which exhibited any signs of external oiling to indicate effects associated with the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill event. A total of 644 sea turtle strandings were reported in 2010 from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama waters, 561 of which were Kemps ridley sea turtles. A total of 525 sea turtle strandings were reported in 2011 from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama waters, with the majority occurring from March through July. Necropsy results indicate a significant number of stranded turtles from both the 2010 and 2011 events likely perished due to forced submergence, which is commonly associated with fishery interactions. Eight alternatives, including the proposed rule and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Two other management alternatives would require TED use in lieu of tow time restrictions based on vessel length, or limit TED use either to vessels 30 feet and longer, or to those 20 feet and longer. The remaining four alternatives would close the shrimp fisheries from either the Texas-Louisiana or Louisiana- Mississippi state borders through the Alabama-Florida state border, or by duration, either March 1 through May 31 or April 1 through May 15. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed rule would aid in the protection and recovery of listed sea turtle populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The TED requirement would impose an additional burden on shrimp fisheries which have been impacted by increased fuel prices, increased foreign imports, the DWH oil spill event, and the lingering effects on infrastructure stemming from previous hurricane seasons. First-year costs of meeting the requirements of the proposed rule are estimated at 9.4 percent of average annual shrimp revenue for affected entities in Louisiana, 9.6 percent in Alabama, and 42.4 percent in North Carolina.

Our estimates are based on historical data not previously available, additional modern data, and bathythermograph data corrected for instrumental biases. We have also used Argo data corrected by the Argo DAC if available and used uncorrected Argo data if no corrections were available at the time we downloaded the Argo data. The heat content of the World Ocean for the 0-2000 m layer increased by 24.0 plus or minus 1.9 x 10 super(22) J ( plus or minus 2S.E.) corresponding to a rate of 0.39 W m super(-2) (per unit area of the World Ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.09 degree C. This warming corresponds to a rate of 0.27 W m super(-2) per unit area of earth's surface. The heat content of the World Ocean for the 0-700 m layer increased by 16.7 plus or minus 1.6 x 10 super(22) J corresponding to a rate of 0.27 W m super(-2) (per unit area of the World Ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.18 degree C. The World Ocean accounts for approximately 93% of the warming of the earth system that has occurred since 1955. The 700-2000 m ocean layer accounted for approximately one-third of the warming of the 0-2000 m layer of the World Ocean. The thermosteric component of sea level trend was 0.54 plus or minus .05 mm yr super(-1) for the 0-2000 m layer and 0.41 plus or minus .04 mm yr super(-1) for the 0-700 m layer of the World Ocean for 1955-2010.

AN - 1032882595; 15341 AB - PURPOSE: Expanded naval at-sea training and testing activities, including the use of active sonar and explosives, in the air and sea space around the Hawaiian Islands and off the coast of Southern California are proposed. The U.S. Navys Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing (HSTT) study area consists of established operating and warning areas across the north-central Pacific Ocean, from Southern California west to Hawaii and the International Date Line. The study area combines the at-sea portions of the Hawaii Range Complex, the Southern California Range Complex, the Silver Strand Training Complex, a transit corridor on the high seas where training and sonar testing may occur during transit between the range complexes, and Navy pierside locations in San Diego Bay and Pearl Harbor where sonar maintenance and testing activities occur. The Navy is preparing the HSTT overseas EIS to re-evaluate impacts from historically conducted activities and to update activities based on evolving training and testing requirements. This draft overseas EIS consolidates three previous environmental analyses: the Hawaii Range Complex EIS, completed with public input in 2008; the Southern California Range Complex EIS, completed with public input in 2008; and the Silver Strand Training Complex EIS, currently in progress. The reassessment will support reauthorization of permits under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. Three alternatives for HSTT are evaluated. Under the No Action Alternative, the Navy would continue current training and testing activities as defined by existing environmental planning documents. Alternative 1 would include the baseline activities of the No Action Alternative, plus adjustments to the study area boundaries and the location, type and level of training and testing activities as necessary to support current and planned requirements through 2019. Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative and would include new range capabilities, as well as modifications of existing capabilities, adjustments to type and tempo of training and testing, and the establishment of additional locations to conduct activities between the range complexes. Elements would include: new infrastructure requirements for the testing of autonomous vehicles near San Clemente Island; introduction of surface ships outfitted with railgun capability, and the testing of, and training with this new weapon system; introduction of broad area maritime surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles and their use during maritime patrol aircraft anti-submarine warfare testing and training events; a 10 percent increase in testing events, such as an increased number of unmanned/autonomous vehicle activities; increased/accelerated delivery of surface ships necessitating increased number of ship trials and other post-delivery test and trial events; and hydrophone modification, upgrade, and replacement at underwater tracking ranges at the Pacific Missile Range Facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Conducting realistic training and testing activities within the study area would ensure the Navy accomplishes its mission to maintain, train and equip combat-ready military forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. Expanded activities would accommodate changes in force structure requirements, the introduction of weapons and platforms, and the training and testing required for proficiency with these systems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action could result in local changes in sediments and water quality as well as minor local emissions of air pollutants. Active sonar, explosions and other acoustic sources, physical disturbances and vessel strikes may affect and are likely to adversely affect individual marine mammals and sea turtles, but are not likely to adversely affect populations. In addition, sonar and other acoustic and energy sources may affect individual California steelhead trout, seabirds, and abalone.

AN - 1032882581; 15340 AB - PURPOSE: Military training and testing activities which may include the use of active sonar and explosives, primarily within existing range complexes and testing ranges, along the east coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico are proposed. The U.S. Navys Atlantic Fleet Training and Testing (AFTT) study area covers approximately 2.6 million square nautical miles of ocean area, and includes designated operating areas and special use airspace. The following testing ranges and range complexes fall within the study area: Northeast Range Complexes; Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport Testing Range; Virginia Capes Range Complex; Navy Cherry Point Range Complex; Jacksonville Range Complex; South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility Testing Range; Undersea Warfare Training Range; Key West Range Complex; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division Testing Range; and Gulf of Mexico Range Complex. Navy pierside locations and port transit channels where sonar maintenance and testing occur, and bays and civilian ports where training occurs are also included in the study area. This draft overseas EIS consolidates previous environmental analyses and assesses three alternatives for AFTT. The assessment will support reauthorization of incidental takes of marine mammals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and incidental takes of threatened and endangered marine species through consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. The No Action Alternative would continue current and historic levels of activity based on previously completed Navy analysis. Alternative 1 reflects the adjustment to the baseline necessary to support all current and proposed Navy at-sea training and testing activities through 2019 and would expand the study area and adjust the types and levels of training and testing activities. Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative and would establish new range capabilities, modify existing capabilities, and further adjust the type and levels of training and testing. Elements would include: additional surface-to-air, surface-to-surface, and anti-submarine warfare activities; increased air combat maneuver events in the Key West Range Complex; training with surface ships outfitted with kinetic energy weapon capability; additional training with unmanned vehicles in support of mine warfare and of civilian port defense missions; new ship construction to include more sea trials for aircraft carriers, joint high speed vessels, and amphibious assault ships; more littoral combat ship mission package test events; increased post-homeporting testing; and more test events on each of the Naval Sea Systems Commands ranges and contingency for increased mine countermeasure testing at South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility Testing Range. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Military readiness training and testing activities would ensure that the Navy meets its mission, which is to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action could impact marine habitats by localized disturbance of the seafloor, cratering of soft bottom sediments, and structural damage to hard bottom habitats. Acoustic and explosive stressors would impact individual marine mammals, but marine mammal populations would not be adversely affected. Explosive detonations and vessel strikes could disturb, injure, or kill marine mammals and sea turtles. Submerged prehistoric sites on the continental shelves in the Gulf of Mexico could be adversely affected.

AN - 1012208505; 22494191 AB - Test platforms for the ideal strength of materials are provided by almost defect-free nanostructures (nanowires, nanotubes, nanoparticles, for example). In this work, the ultimate bending strengths of Si nanowires with radii in the 20-60 nm range were investigated by using a new bending protocol. Nanowires simply held by adhesion on flat substrates were bent through sequential atomic force microscopy manipulations. The bending states prior to failure were analyzed in great detail to measure the bending dynamics and the ultimate fracture strength of the investigated nanowires. An increase in the fracture strengths from 12 to 18 GPa was observed as the radius of nanowires was decreased from 60 to 20 nm. The large values of the fracture strength of these nanowires, although comparable with the ideal strength of Si, are explained in terms of the surface morphology of the nanowires.

During this interval of global warming, the decay of ice sheets caused global mean sea level to rise by approximately 80 m; terrestrial and marine ecosystems experienced large disturbances and range shifts; perturbations to the carbon cycle resulted in a net release of the greenhouse gases CO (sub 2) and CH (sub 4) to the atmosphere; and changes in atmosphere and ocean circulation affected the global distribution and fluxes of water and heat. Here we summarize a major effort by the paleoclimate research community to characterize these changes through the development of well-dated, high-resolution records of the deep and intermediate ocean as well as surface climate. Our synthesis indicates that the super-position of two modes explains much of the variability in regional and global climate during the last deglaciation, with a strong association between the first mode and variations in greenhouse gases, and between the second mode and variations in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

AN - 1030201675; 15326 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to implement reasonable and prudent measures (RPMs) to protect threatened corals in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico is proposed. A 2009 Endangered Species Act (ESA) biological opinion prescribed non-discretionary RPMs to help minimize the impacts of takes to ESA-listed species by the trap component of the spiny lobster commercial sector. Specific terms and conditions required to implement the prescribed RPMs included creating new or expanding existing closed areas to protect coral and implementing lobster trap line-marking requirements. Actions and alternatives to address these measures were included in Amendment 10 to the Spiny Lobster FMP, but action was deferred to allow more time for stakeholder input. Approximately 90 to 95 percent of commercial spiny lobster is landed in the Florida Keys annually, and the trap fishery has been established in the communities since at least the 1950s. This final supplemental EIS considers three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for each of the two actions under consideration in Amendment 11. For Action 1, the preferred Alternative 3 would establish 60 new closed areas encompassing 5.9 square miles in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Florida Keys with identified staghorn and elkhorn colonies inside straight-line boundaries. Approximately 500 feet of buffer around the colonies would be included in the closed areas. The preferred option would prohibit spiny lobster trapping within these new closed areas. Action 2 involves a requirement for some type of marking on trap lines which could resolve any future problems with identification of trap lines interacting with protected species. The fishery management councils' preferred alternative is the No Action Alternative which would avoid imposing an excessive financial and labor burden on fishermen with little assurance that spiny lobster trap line could be distinguished from other trap lines when entangling protected species. The councils intend to revisit this issue when the results of a Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission study are available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closed areas would reduce the likelihood of commercial spiny lobster traps coming into contact with threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals. The preferred alternative would provide a reasonable buffer around colonies without closing large areas of bottom suitable for lobster trapping. Protection of the corals is expected to contribute to an overall healthy ecosystem and would also contribute to a healthy spiny lobster stock. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Area closures could have negative effects on fishermen through reduced harvests. Under the preferred alternative, commercial landings would be reduced by as much as 18,292 pounds and trip gross revenue would be reduced by as much as $107,780 (0.2 to 0.9 percent of the vessel gross). Requirements for new maps, outreach and education, and greater enforcement would increase the administrative burden for the fishery.

Although previous work has suggested that Nuri formed within the protective recirculating "pouch" region of a westward propagating wave-like disturbance and implicated rotating deep convective clouds in driving the inflow to spin up the tangential circulation of the system-scale flow, the nature of the thermodynamic environment that supported the genesis remains a topic of debate. During the genesis phase, vertical profiles of virtual potential temperature show little variability between soundings on a particular day and the system-average soundings likewise show a negligible change. There is a tendency also for the lower and middle troposphere to moisten. However, the data show that, on the scale of the recirculating region of the disturbance, there was no noticeable reduction of virtual temperature in the lower troposphere, but a small warming (less than 1 K) in the upper troposphere. Vertical profiles of pseudo-equivalent potential temperature, [thetas] sub(e), during the genesis show a modestly decreasing deficit of [thetas] sub(e) in the vertical between the surface and the height of minimum [thetas] sub(e) (between 3 and 4 km), from 17.5 K to 15.2 K. The findings reported here are consistent with those found for developing disturbances observed in the Pre-Depression Investigation of Cloud Systems in the Tropics (PREDICT) experiment in 2010. Some implications of the findings are discussed.

Fuel sulfur content (F sub(S)) limits and an efficiency design index for future ships are examples of such IMO actions. The impacts of black carbon (BC) emissions from shipping are now under review by the IMO, with a particular focus on the potential impacts of future Arctic shipping. Recognizing that associating impacts with BC emissions requires both ambient and onboard observations, we provide recommendations for the measurement of BC. We also evaluate current insights regarding the effect of ship speed (engine load), fuel quality and exhaust gas scrubbing on BC emissions from ships. Observations demonstrate that BC emission factors (EF sub(BC)) increases 3 to 6 times at very low engine loads (<25% compared to EF sub(BC) at 85-100% load); absolute BC emissions (per nautical mile of travel) also increase up to 100% depending on engine load, even with reduced load fuel savings. If fleets were required to operate at lower maximum engine loads, presumably associated with reduced speeds, then engines could be re-tuned, which would reduce BC emissions. Ships operating in the Arctic are likely running at highly variable engine loads (25-100%) depending on ice conditions and ice breaking requirements. The ships operating at low load may be emitting up to 50% more BC than they would at their rated load. Such variable load conditions make it difficult to assess the likely emissions rate of BC. Current fuel sulfur regulations have the effect of reducing EF sub(BC) by an average of 30% and potentially up to 80% regardless of engine load; a removal rate similar to that of scrubbers. Uncertainties among current observations demonstrate there is a need for more information on a) the impact of fuel quality on EF sub(BC) using robust measurement methods and b) the efficacy of scrubbers for the removal of particulate matter by size and composition.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Novel Antibody-Based Biomarker for Chronic Algal Toxin Exposure and Sub-Acute Neurotoxicity AN - 1017977515; 16725857 AB - The neurotoxic amino acid, domoic acid (DA), is naturally produced by marine phytoplankton and presents a significant threat to the health of marine mammals, seabirds and humans via transfer of the toxin through the foodweb. In humans, acute exposure causes a neurotoxic illness known as amnesic shellfish poisoning characterized by seizures, memory loss, coma and death. Regular monitoring for high DA levels in edible shellfish tissues has been effective in protecting human consumers from acute DA exposure. However, chronic low-level DA exposure remains a concern, particularly in coastal and tribal communities that subsistence harvest shellfish known to contain low levels of the toxin. Domoic acid exposure via consumption of planktivorous fish also has a profound health impact on California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) affecting hundreds of animals yearly. Due to increasing algal toxin exposure threats globally, there is a critical need for reliable diagnostic tests for assessing chronic DA exposure in humans and wildlife. Here we report the discovery of a novel DA-specific antibody response that is a signature of chronic low-level exposure identified initially in a zebrafish exposure model and confirmed in naturally exposed wild sea lions. Additionally, we found that chronic exposure in zebrafish caused increased neurologic sensitivity to DA, revealing that repetitive exposure to DA well below the threshold for acute behavioral toxicity has underlying neurotoxic consequences. The discovery that chronic exposure to low levels of a small, water-soluble single amino acid triggers a detectable antibody response is surprising and has profound implications for the development of diagnostic tests for exposure to other pervasive environmental toxins.

In light of these known influences on human health, many governments around the world have instituted air quality forecasting systems to provide their citizens with advance warning of impending poor air quality so that they can take actions to limit exposure. In an effort to improve the performance of air quality forecasting systems and provide a forum for the exchange of the latest research in air quality modeling, the International Workshop on Air Quality Forecasting Research (IWAQFR) was established in 2009 and is cosponsored by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Environment Canada (EC), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The steering committee for IWAQFR's establishment was composed of Veronique Bouchet, Mike Howe, and Craig Stoud (EC); Greg Carmichael (University of Iowa); Paula Davidson and Jim Meagher (NOAA); and Liisa Jalkanen (WMO). The most recent workshop took place in Maryland.

Guidance exists for the calculation of the time until conditions become untenable in areas of the structure (known as the available safe egress time) during fire situations. This article presents a method for determining the amount of time required for building occupants to reach a defined point of safety (known as the required safe egress time) for a particular building design or scenario. The method requires the engineer to identify real-world factors from the building conditions/situations that influence human performance (e.g. evacuation), understand the nature of their impact on human performance and then represent this impact in terms that can be employed within evacuation model calculations. An example is also presented to demonstrate the method described here.

This Neogene basin trend extends from central New Mexico, through far-western Texas, and into northeastern Chihuahua, Mexico, with the Rio Grande forming the International Boundary. Basins are primarily half-graben complexes, and the Santa Fe Group (SFG) comprises the bulk of the basin fill. Ancestral-Rio Grande facies in upper and middle SFG hydrostratigraphic units form the major aquifers, with higher flanking mountain and plateau uplands and the Rio Grande providing the only significant recharge sources in this arid to semiarid region. The central TB (White Sands and pluvial-Lake Otero) area is a typical bolson landform, with topographic closure and an undrained shallow groundwater-flow regime; and most of the HB is a topographically open semi-bolson, with subsurface drainage to the Rio Grande (Lower El Paso) Valley aquifer system. There is, however, a broad zone of topographic and hydrogeologic transition between the two basins that heretofore has not been well defined, particularly in terms of potential for interbasin groundwater flow. It is located 15-20 km north of the NM/TX Stateline (Lat. 32 degrees N) and is here informally named the "Tularosa-Hueco transition zone" (THTZ). Results of recent work by the NM Water Resources Research Institute-GIS section on digital characterization of the THTZ hydrogeologic framework are presented here. The area is of special interest because of 1) proximity to the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez metropolitan area (population about 2 million) and the Fort Bliss/White Sands Missile Range defense complex, and 2) the great potential for brackish-water production as well as groundwater storage and recovery operations. Hydrogeologic framework is defined in terms of 1) major lithofacies-assemblages grouped as informal SFG hydrostratigraphic units, and 2) basin-boundary and intra-basin structural controls. The GIS products (ESRI ArcGIS (super R) and Adobe Illustrator (super R) ), including a map (1:100,000) of surficial features and three cross-sections (msl base), integrate surface and subsurface information that will be used in groundwater-flow and hydrochemical modeling.

Previous literature has considered only univariate or stationary models. However, in current practice and research, econometricians, macroeconomists, and policymakers often combine related series -- that may have stochastic trends -- to attain more informed assessments of basic signals like underlying inflation and business cycle components.

Increasing population pressure, declining fish stocks, and the attractiveness of natural amenities have all led to demographic shifts and economic transformations for many coastal communities dependent on fishing. This impact of "gentrification" on the commercial fishing industry often precipitates a move toward non-marine based economies that can displace local residents and their dependence on fishing as a way of life with resulting impacts to local economies and cultures. Drawing on the United States Census, National Marine Fisheries Service, and other secondary data sources, social indicators were developed for 2,948 coastal communities in the Eastern United States and Gulf Coast and were used to evaluate gentrification pressure in select communities highly engaged in fishing. We anticipate this methodology, when groundtruthed and then combined with time-series assessments, will lead to improvements in the assessment of fishing community vulnerability and resilience for the conduct of fisheries social impact assessments.

Studies, however, have not adequately quantified the variability of spring season temperatures on multidecadal time scales. This study examines the spatio-temporal variability of spring season minimum temperatures in the western United States as a function of multidecadal Pacific climate variability for the period from 1925 to 1994. Spatio-temporal variations in minimum temperature patterns, as determined by a principal-components-based regionalization analysis, indicate a significant statistical relationship between March and April minimum temperatures and multidecadal Pacific climate variability, measured diagnostically using an index of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Anomalous temperature patterns associated with cool phases of the PDO are evident in the Pacific Northwest region during March, whereas warm phases are evident in the Southern Coast region during April, suggesting a possible association with canonical interannual El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts. These results, suggesting a strong and thus far uncharacterized relationship between spring temperature minima in the West and the PDO, have implications for an improved understanding of multidecadal climate dynamics, including the detection and attribution of recent temperature trends, as well as climate-driven environmental impacts such as growing season length and intensity.

IMS response for several common high explosives ranging from 0.1 ng to 100 ng was measured over a thermal desorber temperature range from 60 degree C to 280 degree C. Most of the explosives examined demonstrated a well-defined maximum IMS signal response at a temperature slightly below the melting point. Optimal temperatures, giving the highest IMS peak intensity, were 80 degree C for trinitrotoluene (TNT), 100 degree C for pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), 160 degree C for cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and 200 degree C for cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX). By modifying the desorber temperature, we were able to increase cumulative IMS signal by a factor of 5 for TNT and HMX, and by a factor of 10 for RDX and PETN. Similar signal enhancements were observed for the same compounds formulated as plastic-bonded explosives (Composition 4 (C-4), Detasheet, and Semtex). In addition, mixtures of the explosives exhibited similar enhancements in analyte peak intensities. The increases in sensitivity were obtained at the expense of increased analysis times of up to 20 seconds. A slow sample heating rate as well as slower vapor-phase analyte introduction rate caused by low-temperature desorption enhanced the analytical sensitivity of individual explosives, plastic-bonded explosives, and explosives mixtures by IMS. Several possible mechanisms that can affect IMS signal response were investigated such as thermal degradation of the analytes, ionization efficiency, competitive ionization from background, and aerosol emission.

To compete effectively for funding, science institutions of all sizes need to be able to clearly and succinctly demonstrate the value of their research. Scientific research is traditionally evaluated by means of external peer review, but with its substantial costs and limited scope, research institutions are increasingly turning to bibliometrics to supplement this process. Despite some significant limitations of this approach, bibliometric analysis can supplement the peer review process to demonstrate the value of scientific research. By extracting the relationship among publications, bibliometric mapping offers a method of quickly summarizing and then visualizing the structure inherent to a set of publications. The resulting visualizations, or maps, can be used not only to examine an institution's past scientific research, but also identify potential and future research directions and collaboration opportunities.

However, published formulations require that the application must be deterministically implemented point-by-point individually. Recently, and thanks to GPS technology, scientists have made available thousands of determinations of the coordinates (x,y,z) at a single point perhaps characterized by different observational circumstances such as date, length of occupation time, distance and geometric distribution of reference stations, etc. In this paper a least squares (LS) solution is introduced to determine a unique set of geodetic coordinates, with accompanying accuracy predictions all based on the given sets of individual (x,y,z) GPS-obtained values and their variance-covariance matrices. The (x,y,z) coordinates are used as pseudo-observations with their attached stochastic information in the LS process to simultaneously compute a unique set of (lambda ,phi ,h) curvilinear geodetic coordinates from different observing scenarios.

Cambrian rifting resulted in the concealed faults of the Reelfoot rift, currently the active component of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, lying immediately northwest of the city. Memphis also sits within the Mississippi Embayment. Subsidence of the embayment brought about deposition of the thick Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic sedimentary sequence underlying the city. This sequence provides one of the finest groundwater aquifers in the world, the Memphis Sand. Pliocene ancestral Ohio River alluvium (Upland Complex) is an excellent source of sand and gravel for the region. Plio-Pleistocene fluvial degradation by the Mississippi River and its tributaries, in addition to deposition of Pleistocene loess sheets, have produced the subtle topography of Memphis and Shelby County. Memphis geology makes geotechnical engineering design challenging because loess is highly sensitive to disturbance. Exploratory sampling techniques tend to cause disturbance to loess during sampling and sample extraction. Thus, conventional sampling techniques yield variable engineering property test results (e.g., strength and compressibility). The city of Memphis and Shelby County have together become a major commodities distribution center for the United States, North America, and the global economy. The principal natural hazards are the frequent severe weather and the prospect of a repeat of the >7M 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes. These unavoidable exposures to severe weather, urban and riverine flooding, and earthquakes combined with social conditions tend to amplify the consequences of hazard events.

The results show that the interannual temperature variability increased from the troposphere to stratosphere, and the maximum occurs around 50 hPa. The CMIP3 climate models have the largest discrepancy in the stratosphere. The intra-group correlations at 500 hPa generally show high similarity within each data group while the inter-group correlations between reanalyses and the CMIP3 climate model simulations indicate lesser similarity. In contrast, the inter-group correlation at 50 hPa is improved except with the Japanese 25-year Reanalysis Project (JRA-25) dataset, and the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) reanalysis shows a weak cross correlation. The global temperature trends are highly dependent on the individual data sources. Compared to the radiosondes, the reanalyses show a large ensemble spread of trends in the stratosphere, and the CMIP3 climate model simulations have a large ensemble spread in the height of the crossover point where tropospheric warming changes into stratospheric cooling. The largest ensemble spread among the reanalyses in the stratosphere is mainly from the large discrepancy in the JRA-25 reanalysis after 1998 and a relatively weak anomaly in the 20CR before 1986. The largest ensemble spread among the CMIP3 climate models in the troposphere is related to the influence of both volcanic eruptions and El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation events. The strong anomalies corresponding to the volcanic eruptions of El Chichon in 1982 and Mt Pinatubo in 1991 are clearly identified in the stratosphere. These volcanic eruptions reduced the warming in the troposphere and strengthened the cooling in the stratosphere during the most recent 30 years.

Several factors affect competition among juvenile salmonids including: (1) whether competition is intra- or interspecific, (2) duration of freshwater cohabitation of hatchery and wild fish, (3) relative body size, (4) prior residence, (5) environmentally induced developmental differences, and (6) fish density. Intraspecific competition is expected to be greater than interspecific because of greater niche overlap between conspecific hatchery and wild fish. Competition is expected to increase with prolonged freshwater cohabitation. Hatchery smolts are often larger than wild, and larger fish are usually superior competitors. However, wild fish have the advantage of prior residence when defending territories and resources in natural streams. Hatchery-induced developmental differences are variable and can favor both hatchery and wild fish. Although all these factors influence competitive interactions, fish density of the composite population (wild + hatchery fish) in relation to habitat carrying capacity likely exerts the greatest influence. The extent of competition and relative competitive ability of wild and hatchery fish can be determined by additive and substitutive experimental designs, respectively, and the limited body of substitutive experiments suggests that the relative competitive ability of hatchery and wild fish is approximately equal when measured as growth. Conducting substitutive experiments becomes difficult as the spatial and temporal scales increase. Large-scale experiments comparing supplemented and control reaches or streams hold some promise for quantifying the effects of released hatchery fish on wild fish behavior, growth and survival.

In 2004 and 2005, outmigrating juvenile chum salmon were sampled in nearshore habitats of the inlet (spring) and in epipelagic habitat at Icy Strait (summer) as they approached the Gulf of Alaska. Fish were frozen for energy density determination or preserved for diet analyses, and hatchery stocks were identified from the presence of thermal marks on otoliths. We compared feeding intensity, diets, energy density, and size relationships of wild and hatchery stocks (n=3123) across locations and weeks. Only hatchery fish feeding intensity was negatively correlated with fish abundance. In both years, hatchery chum salmon were initially larger and had greater energy density than wild fish, but lost condition in early weeks after release as they adapted to feeding on wild prey assemblages. Diets differed between the stocks at all inlet locations, but did not differ for hatchery salmon between littoral and neritic habitats in the outer inlet, where the stocks overlapped most. Both diets and energy density converged by late June. Therefore, if density-dependent interactions affect wild chum salmon, these effects must be very rapid because survivors in Icy Strait showed few differences. Our study also demonstrates that hatchery release strategies used near Taku Inlet successfully promote early spatial segregation and prey partitioning, which reduce the probability of competition between wild and hatchery chum salmon stocks.

Enhancement programs were designed to help rehabilitate depressed fisheries and to protect wild salmon stocks through detailed planning and permitting processes that included focused policies on genetics, pathology, and management. Hatcheries were located away from significant wild stocks, local sources were used to develop hatchery broodstocks, and juveniles are marked so management can target fisheries on hatchery fish. Initially conceived as a state-run system, the Southeast Alaska (SEAK) program has evolved into a private, non-profit concept centered around regional aquaculture associations run by fishermen and other stakeholders that pay for hatchery operations through landing fees and sale of fish. Today there are 15 production hatcheries and 2 research hatcheries in SEAK that between 2005 and 2009 released from 474 to 580 million (average 517 million) juvenile salmon per year. During this same period commercial harvest of salmon in the region ranged from 28 to 71 million salmon per year (average 49 million). Contributions of hatchery-origin fish to this harvest respectively averaged 2%, 9%, 19%, 20%, and 78% for pink, sockeye, Chinook, coho, and chum salmon. Both hatchery and wild salmon stocks throughout much of Alaska have experienced high marine survivals since the 1980s and 1990s resulting in record harvests over the past two decades. Although some interactions between hatchery salmon and wild salmon are unavoidable including increasing concerns over straying of hatchery fish into wild salmon streams, obvious adverse impacts from hatcheries on production of wild salmon populations in this region are not readily evident.

The review included 14 studies from the Pacific Northwest and California. In most instances, predation by hatchery yearling salmonids on wild subyearling salmonids occurred at low levels. However, when multiple factors contributing to the incidence of predation were met, localized areas of heavy predation were noted. Total prey consumed ranged from 456 to 111 000 subyearlings for the few studies in which enough information was gathered to make the estimate. We examined two of these studies in more detail: one detecting relatively low predation in four western Washington rivers and one detecting relatively high predation in the Trinity River in northern California. In the case of the rivers in western Washington, over 70% of wild subyearlings had migrated by the time hatchery steelhead were planted and those remaining had grown large enough to reduce their vulnerability to predation. In the case of the Trinity River, less than 20% of wild subyearlings had migrated by the time hatchery steelhead were planted and most were small enough to remain highly vulnerable to predation. We found that managers can effectively minimize the predation rate of hatchery yearling salmonids by reducing the spatial or temporal overlap of predator and prey. Unknown is the extent to which low predation rates, which likely occur in most places hatchery yearlings are released, might still negatively impact prey populations that are at low abundance because of other anthropogenic factors.

Their large size at release coupled with life history pathways that include both male and female maturation in freshwater present ecological risks different from those posed by hatchery populations of Pacific salmon. Yearling hatchery reared steelhead that fail to attain minimum thresholds for smoltification or exceed thresholds for male maturation tend to 'residualize' (i.e., remain in freshwater). Residuals pose ecological risks including size-biased interference competition and predation on juvenile salmon and trout. Three hatchery populations of steelhead in Hood Canal, WA were reared under growth regimes designed to produce a more natural age at smoltification (age-2) to aid in rebuilding their respective natural populations. Mean smolt sizes and size variability at age-2 were within the range of wild smolts for two of the three populations. The third population reared at a different facility under similar temperatures exhibited high growth rate variability and high male maturation rates (20% of all released fish). Experimentally comparing age-1 and age-2 smolt programs will help identify optimal rearing strategies to reduce the genetic risk of domestication selection and reduce residualism rates and associated negative ecological effects on natural populations. Investigations of Winthrop National Fish Hatchery summer-run steelhead will measure a) selection on correlated behavioral traits ('behavioral syndromes'), b) degree of smoltification, c) changes in hormones that regulate gonad growth at key developmental stages, and d) conduct extensive post-release monitoring of fish reared under each growth regime.

The robustness of observed global climate connection is established from the model simulations. Lastly, variations of atmosphere and ocean conditions in the recent decades, and their possible connection with the frequency increase of the WP El Nino are discussed. Consistent with previous results, our individual case study and composite results suggest that stronger (weaker) and more eastward extended (westward confined) westerly wind along the equatorial Pacific in early months of a year is associated with active (suppressed) air-sea interaction over the cold tongue/the Intertropical Convergence Zone complex, as well as more (less) intensive oceanic thermocline feedback, favoring the CT (WP) El Nino development. The preceding westerly wind signal and air-sea interaction differences may be responsible for the predication skill difference with higher (lower) overall hindcast skill for the CT (WP) El Nino in the Climate Forecast System of National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Our model experiments show that, in addition to the tropics, the eastern Pacific, North America and North Atlantic are the major regions having robust climate differences between the CT and WP El Ninos. Nevertheless, the climate contrasts seem not robust over the Eurasian continent. Also, the frequency increase of the WP El Nino in the recent decades may not be directly connected with the linear trend of the tropical climate.

However, despite its importance in understanding energy flow between these habitats, seasonality of reciprocal subsidies has been examined only in a single temperate system in Japan. We measured input of terrestrial invertebrates and emergence of adult aquatic insects for 14 months in two adjacent streams in a coastal Mediterranean basin in California to assess seasonal patterns, annual fluxes, and local variation. Fluxes of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates fluctuated seasonally and were relatively synchronous, although in the fall of 2004, terrestrial inputs peaked 1-2 months earlier than emergence. Terrestrial inputs were similar in the two streams with annual flux of 7.9-8.6 g dry mass m super(-2) year super(-1). Emergence differed between the streams: annual emergence was 7.8 g m super(-2) ye ar super(-1) (similar to terrestrial flux) in one reach but 5.3 g m super(-2) ye ar super(-1) from the other. The presence of streambed travertine in the reach with lower emergence was the primary difference in habitat between the streams, suggesting that travertine may reduce emergence and alter net reciprocal flux. Comparison of our results with those from Japan suggests that seasonality and net annual flux of reciprocal stream-riparian subsidies vary among biomes due to differences in climate, vegetation, and geography. Our results also indicate that local factors, such as travertine, may cause reciprocal fluxes to vary at finer spatial scales.

Pseudo-nitzschia spp. was present from North Carolina to Florida, and was most common in North and South Carolina. Across the majority of the Atlantic southeast US, the highest rates of occurrence were observed in late summer, early fall, with most areas experiencing the lowest rate of occurrence in the spring. The Outer Banks of North Carolina, however, experienced a peak of occurrence in late winter to early spring in addition to a late summer, early fall peak. Pseudo-nitzschia was found in temperatures ranging from less than 5 degree C to 35 degree C and salinities from 5 to 37. Six unique bloom events were documented during this period of nine years, three of which contained detectable levels of domoic acid. The majority of these bloom events and all of the toxic events occurred in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Given the extent and intensity of coverage afforded by the NOAA PMN, this program provides the optimal approach to not only assess past trends but to monitor environmental changes and emerging trends in the dynamics of this toxigenic species. Understanding the dynamics of this species allows resource managers to better predict the threats associated with domoic acid.

Migration is modeled as a costly movement from an aid-recipient developing country with low income and no welfare state, towards a rich donor, developed country with a well-developed welfare state. Within this model, it is found, among other things, that the best response of the developed donor country is to increase aid as the co-financing rate by the recipient country increases. When the immigration cost decreases, e.g. as a result of greater economic integration between the two countries, it is beneficial for the donor country to increase aid and the recipient country to increase the co-financing rate.

Results of the simulations with the new parameterization are compared with those of the classical parameterizations. Comparison with previous results indicates on average an increase of 70% in the drop number concentration and a 15% decrease in rain intensity for the equilibrium drop size distribution (DSD). Furthermore, the drop bounce process is parameterized as a function of drop size based on laboratory experiments for the first time in a microphysical model. Numerical results indicate that drop bounce has a strong influence on the equilibrium DSD, in particular for very small drops (<0.5 mm), leading to an increase of up to 150% in the small drop number concentration (left-hand side of the DSD) when compared to previous modeling results without accounting for bounce effects.

Study Design We studied ovarian suppression among normal-weight and obese women during the use of levonorgestrel (LNG)-containing combination OCs. Participants underwent twice weekly phlebotomy during the study cycle and received up to $360 for participation. Along with other study assays, we analyzed 903 specimens from 181 women to measure LNG to assess OC compliance. Consistently undetectable LNG levels indicated noncompliance. To evaluate predictors of OC noncompliance during this study, we compared the characteristics of compliant and noncompliant participants using multivariable logistic regression. We assigned each participant to a relative poverty level based on US census data; all other individual characteristics came directly from participant responses during the baseline interview. Results: One hundred eighty-one women completed the study; 31 were noncompliant (17%). In multivariable analyses, poverty level was the strongest predictor of noncompliance. Compared with those women in the quartile with the lowest level of residential poverty, other women were far more likely to be noncompliant, especially women in the quartile with the greatest prevalence of poverty (adjusted odds ratio, 8.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-46.1). Additional factors associated with noncompliance were education level less than a bachelor's degree and Hispanic ethnicity. Other demographic and psychometric measures were not associated with compliance. Conclusions: We found that noncompliance was strongly associated with residential poverty level, an indirect measure of individual income. In the United States, poverty is associated with female obesity, Hispanic ethnicity and low education, which were also associated here with noncompliance. Study compensation may motivate poor individuals to participate in clinical trials for income. Noncompliance in clinical trials, particularly differential noncompliance, jeopardizes study validity.

Phytoplankton accounted for a large fraction of total biomass, total throughput, and caused considerable bottom-up effects in most functional groups in a dynamic simulation fit to time series data from 1981 to 2000. Top-down control was most apparent in the case of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which exhibited keystone tendencies and appeared capable of causing trophic cascades. Increasing top-down control in several predator-prey relationships improved model fits to time series data from 1981 to 2000, but not as much as introducing non-equilibrium dynamics (biomass accumulation terms) to several key vertebrates. Fishing had little effect on system dynamics. Our model appears well-suited for addressing strategic, scenario-based questions of how the community as a whole will respond to management actions.

We mapped shoreline armoring along the Duwamish River estuary (Washington State, USA) and evaluated differences in temperature, invertebrates, and juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) diet between armored and unarmored intertidal habitats. Mean substrate temperatures were significantly warmer at armored sites, but water temperature similar to unarmored habitats. Epibenthic invertebrate densities were over tenfold greater on unarmored shorelines and taxa richness double that of armored locations. Taxa richness of neuston invertebrates was also higher at unarmored sites, but abundance similar. We did not detect differences in Chinook (O. tshawytscha) diet, but observed a higher proportion of benthic prey for chum (O. keta) from unarmored sites. Given that over 66% of the Duwamish shoreline is armored-similar to much of south and central Puget Sound-our results underscore the need for further ecological study to address the impacts of estuary armoring.

AN - 1024347903; 15304 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish (MSB) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to implement effective monitoring and to reduce incidental catch of river herrings and shads in ocean intercept fisheries in the New England-Middle Atlantic area is proposed. Stock assessments have identified that many populations of river herring along the Atlantic coast are in decline or are at depressed but stable levels; and blueback herring and alewife are both now considered candidate species under the Endangered Species Act. The 2007 American shad stock assessment found that stocks were at all-time lows and did not appear to be recovering to acceptable levels. It identified the primary causes for the continued stock declines as a combination of excessive total mortality, habitat loss and degradation, and migration and habitat access impediments. The incidental catch of blueback herring, alewife, American shad, and hickory shad in the MSB fisheries may be negatively impacting populations. While current levels of monitoring, especially at-sea observer coverage, document that river herrings and shads are caught in the mackerel and longfin squid fisheries, the current relatively low monitoring levels do not allow for management to precisely understand how much river herring and shad different fisheries are catching. Key issues include the cost of conservation measures, concern about the impacts of large scale trawling on river herring and shad populations, and the lack of firm science about either the coast-wide populations of river herring and shad or about the impact on those populations from at-sea trawling versus other sources of mortality. Nine sets of alternatives, each including a No Action Alternative, are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternatives related to implementation of effective catch monitoring include: additional vessel reporting measures (Set 1); additional dealer reporting measures (Set 2); additional at-sea observation optimization measures (Set 3); port-side and other sampling/monitoring measures (Set 4); and at-sea observer coverage requirements (Set 5). Alternatives related to reducing river herring and shad bycatch and/or catch include: mortality caps (Set 6); restrictions in areas of high river herring and shad catch (Set 7); and hotspot restrictions (Set 8). Finally, Alternative Set 9 considers the addition of river herrings and shads as managed stocks in the MSB FMP so as to improve overall conservation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All of the action alternatives are expected to have some low incremental managed-resource benefits. To the extent that more frequent reporting and better data lead to more sustainable fisheries, implementation could allow additional landings and revenues. Alternatives that increase observer coverage are expected to have positive impacts for non-target species due to incidental catch and discarding concerns that would be alleviated by higher coverage rates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial fishing interests would incur relatively low costs related to most of the alternatives being considered. Costs related to paying for vessel monitoring systems and observer coverage would be higher. Commercial dealers could incur moderate-to-higher additional costs if they needed to buy high volume scales to meet the weigh-all-fish requirements under consideration. Slippage restrictions could cause trip terminations resulting in lost revenue or potential safety issues if vessels bring catch aboard in dangerous conditions. Uncertainty about how the productivity of river herrings and shads is impacted by current incidental catch levels makes it difficult to quantity the benefits of the proposed measures.

AN - 1024347901; 15302 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive catch monitoring program and other management measures for the limited access Atlantic herring fishery are proposed. The Atlantic herring fishery occurs over the Mid-Atlantic shelf from Cape Hatteras to Maine, including an active fishery in the inshore Gulf of Maine and seasonally on Georges Bank. The New England Fishery Management Council developed Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to address issues related to the long-term health of the herring resource, how the resource is harvested, how catch/bycatch in the fishery are accounted for, and the important role of herring as a forage fish in the Northeast region. The management alternatives/options under consideration in this draft EIS can be grouped into four major categories: 1) proposed adjustments to the FMP; 2) measures to address catch monitoring at-sea; 3) management measures to address river herring bycatch; and 4) management measures to address midwater trawl access to groundfish closed areas. General adjustments to the FMP would include: permitting provisions, dealer and vessel reporting requirements, measures to address carrier vessels and transfers of Atlantic herring at sea, and requirements for vessel monitoring systems and trip notifications. Catch monitoring measures would include the allocation of approved observers for at-sea sampling on vessels, provisions to enhance observers ability to maximize sampling at-sea, and provisions to address/minimize net slippage by limited access herring vessels. Monitoring, avoidance, and protection alternatives to address river herring bycatch were developed in response to the fact that both alewife and blueback herring are species of concern and are under review for listing under the Endangered Species Act. The management measures to address midwater trawl access to the year-round groundfish closed areas would either increase observer coverage in some areas or close areas to midwater trawl vessels. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed management modifications would: improve the collection of real-time, accurate catch information; enhance monitoring and sampling of herring catch at-sea; and address bycatch issues through responsible management. Better catch data for stock assessments may reduce scientific uncertainty over the long-term and lead to more effective long-term management of the herring resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some operational adjustments required to comply with new provisions to improve/maximize sampling at-sea would impose a cost on vessel operators. Proposed measures may reduce opportunities for some vessels to participate in the fishery by limiting their ability to transfer herring at sea. Because of the high cost of fuel, the requirement to return to port in order to land their catch could negatively impact herring-related businesses that have permits that would fall under a transfer restriction. River herring protection measures are expected to have a negative impact on fishery-related businesses and communities due to the costs associated with increased monitoring and/or area closures.

AN - 1024347900; 15301 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing deep-draft navigation project at Savannah Harbor in Chatham County, Georgia and Jasper County, South Carolina is proposed. Savannah Harbor includes an inner harbor that comprises the last 21.3 miles of the Savannah River and an entrance channel that extends 11.4 miles into the Atlantic Ocean. The harbor is the second largest container port on the U.S. east coast and the fourth largest container port in the nation. However, it also currently has the shallowest controlling depth for a major container port. Savannah National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) lies adjacent to, and upstream of, the Savannah Harbor project and consists of 29,175 acres of palustrine forested wetlands, palustrine and estuarine emergent wetlands, palustrine scrub-shrub wetlands, riverine wetlands, diked waterfowl impoundments and uplands. The refuge encompasses much of the high value fish and wildlife habitat that has been or is likely to be impacted by harbor development. This Tier II final EIS accompanies a General Re-evaluation Report and evaluates a No Action Alternative and five alternatives for deepening the navigation channel in increments from the existing depth of 42 feet mean low water (MLW) to up to 48 feet MLW. The selected plan is the 47-foot depth alternative and would include dredging most of the navigation channel and the Kings Island turning basin five feet deeper, deepening eight container vessel berths at the Garden City Terminal, constructing three bend wideners, constructing two meeting areas, and constructing a 7.1-mile-long extension to the existing ocean bar channel. The existing two-feet of allowable overdepth and up to six-feet advance maintenance would be retained. Hydraulic pipeline, hopper dredge, mechanical dredge, or similar equipment would be used to excavate 13 million cubic yards of new work sediment from the inner harbor and 10.6 million cubic yards of new work sediment for the entrance channel. Inner harbor sediment would be disposed of in existing upland confined disposal facilities (CDFs) and entrance channel sediment would be placed in the approved ocean dredged material disposal site or existing CDFs. The total project cost is estimated at $709 million and the benefit-to-cost ratio is estimated at 5.5. Subject to the availability of funds, the construction would likely occur over a three to four year period. The authorized depths would be maintained by periodic dredging over the 50-year period of analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would address inefficiencies and problems associated with turning capabilities and overall maneuverability in certain reaches of the inner harbor. Deepening the harbor to the proposed depth would allow vessels to transport the same amount of commodities in fewer trips using greater operating drafts or larger vessels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Sediment removal and dredging would directly impact habitat for striped bass and the endangered shortnose sturgeon, tidal freshwater wetlands, and fringe brackish marshes. Additional impacts to these resources would also occur through increased salinity and changes in dissolved oxygen levels. The project would also periodically increase chloride levels at the City of Savannahs water intake in Abercorn Creek. Mitigation is proposed for the conversion of tidal freshwater marsh within the Savannah NWR, dissolved oxygen levels within the inner harbor, impacts to recreational boaters, and loss of habitat. Conversion of 740 acres of salt marsh to brackish marsh would occur as a result of mitigation features to protect freshwater marshes.

AN - 1021255498; 15299 AB - PURPOSE: The Bayou Casotte Harbor Improvement Project is proposed to widen the Pascagoula Lower Sound and Bayou Casotte navigation channels from Horn Island Pass to the turning basin in Bayou Casotte, Jackson County, Mississippi. The Pascagoula River Harbor (West) and the Bayou Casotte Harbor (East) comprise the Port of Pascagoula which is the largest seaport in the state of Mississippi, moving over 35 million tons of cargo on an annual basis. The Pascagoula Navigation Project enters the Mississippi Sound from the Gulf of Mexico, passes between Horn Island and Petit Bois Island, crosses the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and then branches into two channel segments that provide access to the Bayou Casotte and Pascagoula River harbors. The existing federally authorized channel dimensions are restrictive. Deep-draft vessels are restricted to one-way traffic, and vessels greater than 700 feet in length overall or greater than 36 feet in draft are confined to daylight travel. Additionally, wind and current conditions impose restrictions on travel in the existing channel. Under the proposed project, the existing Pascagoula Lower Sound/Bayou Casotte federal channel segment of Pascagoula Harbor would be widened by 100 feet and excavated as necessary to a depth consistent with the existing channel, and the northern portion of the Horn Island Pass Channel would be widened as necessary to ease the transition between the two channel segments. This draft EIS evaluates two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. Alternative 1 is the Jackson County Port Authoritys preferred alternative and would involve dredging 38,200 feet (7.2 miles) adjacent to the existing Pascagoula Lower Sound/Bayou Casotte federal channel segments to widen the channel 100 feet on the west side, parallel to the existing channel centerline, to the existing depth of 42 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW). Dredged material management would include the placement of 125,000 cubic yards (cy) of material in the designated littoral zone area (LZA) located east and south of Horn Island and placement of the remaining 3.3 million cy of material in the Pascagoula offshore dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) south of Horn Island. Alternative 2 would involve dredging the length of the existing channel segments to widen the channel by 50 feet on each side, parallel to the existing channel centerline, to the existing depth of 42 feet below MLLW. Under Alternative 2, dredged material management would include beneficial use placement of 315,000 cy of the dredged material in the designated LZA and placement of the remaining 3.0 million cy of material in the Pascagoula ODMDS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would reduce existing channel and harbor restrictions, thereby improving operating conditions and efficiency in the channel and harbor. Placement of dredged sediments in the LZA may have a positive effect by placing more sand into the littoral drift along Horn Island, thus slightly reducing erosion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging operations would temporarily increase turbidity levels, with impacts on primary productivity, benthic and other aquatic organisms, such as birds and marine mammals. The project would permanently convert 87.6 acres of shallow, primarily silt and clay soft-bottom habitats to a deeper, less productive hypoxic habitat, reducing the amount of food available for aquatic organisms. However, this alteration represents a very small percentage of the Mississippi Sound bottom. Twenty-three to 28 aids-to-navigation would require relocation and a spare 12-inch-diameter pipeline that crosses Pascagoula Lower Sound Channel might have to be removed. Anticipated impacts to cultural and archeological resources would require mitigation.

AN - 1020954774; 15292 AB - PURPOSE: Geological and geophysical (G&G) activities associated with oil and gas exploration and production, renewable energy, and marine minerals on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) are proposed. The 330,032-square-mile area of interest (AOI) includes U.S. Atlantic waters from the mouth of Delaware Bay to just south of Cape Canaveral, Florida, and from the shoreline to 350 nautical miles from shore. The AOI includes the Mid- and South-Atlantic Planning Areas, as well as adjacent State waters outside of estuaries. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has received nine permit requests for seismic airgun surveys in support of oil and gas exploration, and industry has expressed interest in expanding activities into Atlantic offshore waters. The following types of G&G activities projected to occur between 2012 and 2020 are included in this programmatic EIS: various types of deep penetration seismic airgun surveys used almost exclusively for oil and gas exploration and development; other types of surveys and sampling activities used only in support of oil and gas exploration and development, including electromagnetic surveys, deep stratigraphic and shallow test drilling, and various remote sensing methods; high-resolution geophysical (HRG) surveys used to detect geohazards, archaeological resources, and certain types of benthic communities; and geological and geotechnical bottom sampling used to assess the suitability of seafloor sediments for supporting structures (e.g., platforms, pipelines, cables, wind turbines) or to evaluate the quantity and quality of sand for beach nourishment projects. Key issues include the effects of active acoustic sound sources, vessel and equipment noise, vessel traffic, aircraft traffic and noise, trash and debris, and accidental fuel spills. Three alternatives are analyzed in this draft EIS. Alternative A is the proposed action and would authorize G&G activities in support of all BOEM program areas throughout the entire AOI. Mitigation measures would include: a seismic airgun survey protocol; an HRG survey protocol; guidance for vessel strike avoidance; guidance for marine debris awareness; avoidance and reporting requirements for historic and prehistoric sites; avoidance of sensitive benthic communities; guidance for activities in or near National Marine Sanctuaries; and guidance for military and National Aeronautics and Space Administration coordination. Alternative B is identical to Alternative A with respect to the G&G activities that could be conducted and the expected activity levels. However, mitigation measures would: expand the time-area closure for North Atlantic right whales that was developed for Alternative A; add a time-area closure offshore Brevard County, Florida, to protect nesting sea turtles; require a 25-mile separation distance between concurrent seismic airgun surveys; and require the use of passive acoustic monitoring as part of the seismic airgun survey protocol. Under Alternative C (No Action Alternative), no G&G activities associated with oil and gas exploration would occur in the AOI. However, permitting and postlease G&G activities for renewable energy development and marine minerals use would continue to occur on a case-by-case basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed activities would provide information about the location and extent of oil and gas reserves, seafloor conditions for oil and gas or renewable energy installations, and marine minerals deposits off the U.S. Atlantic Coast. State-of-the-practice G&G data and information would also be used to ensure the proper use and conservation of OCS energy resources and the receipt of fair market value for the leasing of public lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seismic airgun surveys could result in harassment of endangered marine species including North Atlantic right whale, blue whale, fin whale, sei whale, humpback whale, and sperm whale. No mortalities would be expected because there has been no observation of direct physical injury or death to marine mammals from airguns. Offshore surveys could temporarily displace breeding and nesting adult turtles during the nesting season, particularly on the beaches of southeast Florida and within the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge which support a high level of sea turtle nesting. Accidental fuel spills in offshore waters could impact listed bird species such as piping plover, roseate tern, red knot, and Bermuda petrel.

Preparation date: April 6, 2012 N1 - Last updated - 2012-06-19 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Primary and secondary sources of formaldehyde in urban atmospheres: Houston Texas region AN - 1014110067; 16598132 AB - We evaluate the rates of secondary production and primary emission of formaldehyde (CH sub(2)O) from petrochemical industrial facilities and on-road vehicles in the Houston Texas region. This evaluation is based upon ambient measurements collected during field studies in 2000, 2006 and 2009. The predominant CH sub(2)O source (92 +/- 4% of total) is secondary production formed during the atmospheric oxidation of highly reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOCs) emitted from the petrochemical facilities. Smaller contributions are primary emissions from these facilities (4 +/- 2%), and secondary production ( similar to 3%) and primary emissions ( similar to 1%) from vehicles. The primary emissions from both sectors are well quantified by current emission inventories. Since secondary production dominates, control efforts directed at primary CH sub(2)O emissions cannot address the large majority of CH sub(2)O sources in the Houston area, although there may still be a role for such efforts. Ongoing efforts to control alkene emissions from the petrochemical facilities, as well as volatile organic compound emissions from the motor vehicle fleet, will effectively reduce the CH sub(2)O concentrations in the Houston region. We do not address other emission sectors, such as off-road mobile sources or secondary formation from biogenic hydrocarbons. Previous analyses based on correlations between ambient concentrations of CH sub(2)O and various marker species have suggested much larger primary emissions of CH sub(2)O, but those results neglect confounding effects of dilution and loss processes, and do not demonstrate the causes of the observed correlations. Similar problems must be suspected in any source apportionment analysis of secondary species based upon correlations of ambient concentrations of pollutants.

Consequently the two species have been managed together as a species complex using the length- and age-at-maturity derived from Gulf of Alaska arrowtooth flounder, which had been the only available maturity estimates. However, there could be serious management consequences if the two species matured at significantly different ages and fork lengths. Therefore, this study was conducted during 2007 and 2008 to determine if there were significant differences in maturation between the two species. Significant differences in size and age of female maturation and growth were found. The age and length of 50% maturity (A50,L50, respectively) for arrowtooth flounder females is 7.6years of age and 480mm in body length. In comparison, A50,L50 of Kamchatka flounder females is 10.1years of age and 550mm, meaning that Kamchatka flounder has a significantly lower reproductive potential than arrowtooth flounder. The large difference in reproductive potential indicates that managing the two species together as a species complex using the reproductive characteristics of arrowtooth flounder, was not conservative for Kamchatka flounder. This study also determined that arrowtooth flounder maturation was consistent between the Gulf of Alaska and eastern Bering Sea populations.

In particular, there are very few data on sex ratios of juvenile and nonanadromous (resident) fish to help assess sex composition of various life stages and life-history types. We used a recently developed Y-chromosome genetic marker to assess sex ratio of stream-dwelling (i.e., juvenile and nonanadromous) O. mykiss in a small coastal basin in central California, USA. We analysed 384 samples collected from three contiguous study reaches over 3years. Sex ratio was 1:1 among juvenile-sized O. mykiss (<150mm) but highly male-skewed (83%) among nonanadromous-sized individuals ( greater than or equal to 150mm), and this sex ratiosize pattern did not differ among years or study reaches. Our results suggest that the rate of anadromy differs between males and females in this basin. Our study also demonstrates the application of new genetic markers to determine sex composition of immature and nonanadromous salmonids, which will help assess sex-specific life-history behaviour in partially migratory populations of O. mykiss and other species.

This relationship emerged from analyses of broad-scale measures of ocean surface thermal habitat, which show that expansion of the area bounding 4-8 degree C is associated with greater growth. To further elucidate the effect of the environment on salmon growth, time series of sea surface temperature (SST), sea ice coverage, chlorophyll concentration, net primary production and zooplankton abundance were examined temporally and spatially in relation to changes in the weight of salmon. SST and zooplankton data were extracted from in situ analyses, whereas sea ice and chlorophyll-based measures of productivity were collected with satellite sensors. Salmon growth was found to be unrelated to productivity at the base of the food chain but highly associated with thermal regime during winter and spring. Warming conditions during specific segments of the salmon life cycle have been associated with poor adult recruitment; yet, warming during others is beneficial to salmon growth and is assumed to increase reproductive output of spawning fish. Despite these positive influences, climate change will continue to erode the viability of salmon populations while the negative effects of warming on survivorship outweigh the benefits of any increase in reproductive output related to growth.

High reliability detection is based on the supposition that it is possible to utilize a small number of sensors to ascertain unequivocally that there is a growing threat either to people or to a building and provide an estimation of the seriousness of the threat. The current generation of fire detection systems is designed to respond to smoke, heat, gaseous emission or electromagnetic radiation generated during smoldering and flaming combustion. This paper will demonstrate that these same low level signals can be utilized to achieve the goal of producing earlier detection, while improving reliability. This allows us to reduce the time to detection at the same time reducing the error rate for both false alarms as well as missing fires. Large commercial fire panels are beginning to implement such advanced algorithms for reliable fast detection; however, the focus of this work is to achieve such detection in a way that can be implemented in a lost cost, low power, EPROM which will be suitable for residential systems.

Additionally, the new code provision allows for occupant evacuation elevators (OEE) to be used as an alternative to the third stair, provided the passenger elevator be protected in such a way to facilitate safe building evacuation. In this study, we evaluate the life-cycle costs of these alternative means of egress, using two prototypical building designs. Building '42F' is a 42 floor, 504 ft (154 m) high building with a total floorspace of 1.68 million ft super(2) (0.16 million m super(2)). Building '75F' is a 75 floor, 900 ft (274 m) high building with a total floorspace of 3.38 million ft super(2) (0.31 million m super(2)), including an 8403 ft super(2) (781 m super(2)) sky lobby. The life-cycle cost of the OEE is compared to two exit stair designs, differentiated by width: 44 in. (112 cm) and 66 in. (168 cm). The wider exit stair conforms with another change to the IBC that requires the increase in width of exit stairs by 50% in new sprinklered buildings. The results of the economic analysis demonstrate that: (1) an additional exit stair is a cost-effective alternative to the installation of OEE on a first-cost basis; and (2) OEE are a cost-effective alternative to the installation of an additional exit stair on a life-cycle cost basis when rental rates are moderate to high and when discount rates are moderate to low.

The study was designed as a fractional factorial experiment involving 177 bottles distributed between four industrial laboratories and was used to assess the impact of six electron donors, bioaugmentation, addition of supplemental nutrients, and two TCE levels (0.57 and 1.90 mM or 75 and 250 mg/L in the aqueous phase) on TCE dechlorination. Performance was assessed based on the concentration changes of TCE and reductive dechlorination degradation products. The chemical data was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and survival analysis techniques to determine both main effects and important interactions for all the experimental variables during the 203-day study. The statistically based design and analysis provided powerful tools that aided decision-making for field application of this technology. The analysis showed that emulsified vegetable oil (EVO), lactate, and methanol were the most effective electron donors, promoting rapid and complete dechlorination of TCE to ethene. Bioaugmentation and nutrient addition also had a statistically significant positive impact on TCE dechlorination. In addition, the microbial community was measured using phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA) for quantification of total biomass and characterization of the community structure and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for enumeration of Dehalococcoides organisms (Dhc) and the vinyl chloride reductase (vcrA) gene. The highest increase in levels of total biomass and Dhc was observed in the EVO microcosms, which correlated well with the dechlorination results. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

To address this need, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reference material (RM) 8323 yeast protein extract is introduced as a proteomics quality control material for benchmarking the preanalytical and analytical performance of proteomics-based experimental workflows. RM 8323 yeast protein extract is based upon the well-characterized eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae and can be utilized in the design and optimization of proteomics-based methodologies from sample preparation to data analysis. To demonstrate its utility as a proteomics quality control material, we coupled LC-MS/MS measurements of RM 8323 with the NIST MS Quality Control (MSQC) performance metrics to quantitatively assess the LC-MS/MS instrumentation parameters that influence measurement accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Due to the complexity of the yeast proteome, we also demonstrate how NIST RM 8323, along with the NIST MSQC performance metrics, can be used in the evaluation and optimization of proteomics-based sample preparation methods.

The evolution of signal- [defined as the standard deviation (STDV) of ensemble mean anomalies] to-noise (defined as STDV of departures of individual members from their corresponding ensemble means) ratio (SNR) is examined. It is shown that SNR is sensitive to the amplitude of external forcing, and the sensitivity is variable and geographical location dependent. The time evolution of the SNR is largely due to the changes in the mean while little influence on the internal variability is found. Surface air temperature (TS) and geopotential height at 200 hPa (H200) responses are largely linear with an increase in GHG and aerosol concentrations and can be well reconstructed using linear trends. The spatial patterns and temporal evolution statistics of the leading modes of internal variability of seasonal mean TS, H200, and precipitation are similar between the A1B and control runs, suggesting that the leading modes are less affected by the increase in GHG and aerosol concentrations. However, the similarity of these spatial patterns between the two runs slightly depends on the variable and season. In the tropical Pacific Ocean, superimposed on a warming trend, amplitude of internal variability in the El Nino-Southern Oscillation regions is slightly suppressed in the A1B runs.

The distribution theory generalizes the short memory results of Kiefer and Vogelsang (2005, Econometric Theory 21, 1130-1164). In particular, our results highlight the dependence on the kernel (we include flat-top kernels), whether or not the kernel is nonzero at the boundary, and, most important, whether or not the process is short memory. Simulation studies support the importance of accounting for memory in the construction of confidence intervals for the mean. Reprinted by permission of Cambridge University Press.

Statistical tools such as model selection and Bayesian decision analysis can guide decision-making by estimating probabilities of outcomes under alternative management scenarios, but these tools have seldom been applied in invasion ecology. We illustrate the use of model selection and Bayesian methods in a case study of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) invading Willapa Bay, Washington. To address uncertainty in model structure, we quantified the weight of evidence for two previously proposed hypotheses, that S. alterniflora recruitment varies with climatic conditions (represented by sea surface temperature) and that recruitment is subject to an Allee effect due to pollen limitation. By fitting models to time series data, we found strong support for climate effects, with higher per capita seedling production in warmer years, but no evidence for an Allee effect based on either the total area invaded or the mean distance between neighboring clones. We used the best-supported model to compare alternative control strategies, incorporating uncertainty in parameter estimates and population dynamics. For a fixed annual removal effort, the probability of eradication in 10 years was highest, and final invaded area lowest, if removals targeted the smallest clones rather than the largest or randomly selected clones. The relationship between removal effort and probability of eradication was highly nonlinear, with a sharp threshold separating similar to 0% and similar to 100% probability of success, and this threshold was 95% lower in simulations beginning early rather than late in the invasion. This advantage of a rapid response strategy is due to density-dependent population growth, which produces alternative stable equilibria depending on the initial invasion size when control begins. Our approach could be applied to a wide range of invasive species management problems where appropriate data are available.

Despite being simply a regrouping of terms in the feedback analysis, this alternative perspective has the benefit of removing most of the pervasive cancellation between water and lapse-rate feedbacks seen in models. As a consequence, the individual feedbacks have less scatter than in the traditional formulation. The role of cloud feedbacks in controlling climate sensitivity is also reflected more clearly in the new formulation.

The GFDL CM2.5 has an atmospheric resolution of approximately 50 km in the horizontal, with 32 vertical levels. The horizontal resolution in the ocean ranges from 28 km in the tropics to 8 km at high latitudes, with 50 vertical levels. This resolution allows the explicit simulation of some mesoscale eddies in the ocean, particularly at lower latitudes. Analyses are presented based on the output of a 280-yr control simulation; also presented are results based on a 140-yr simulation in which atmospheric CO sub(2) increases at 1% yr super(-1) until doubling after 70 yr. Results are compared to GFDL CM2.1, which has somewhat similar physics but a coarser resolution. The simulated climate in CM2.5 shows marked improvement over many regions, especially the tropics, including a reduction in the double ITCZ and an improved simulation of ENSO. Regional precipitation features are much improved. The Indian monsoon and Amazonian rainfall are also substantially more realistic in CM2.5. The response of CM2.5 to a doubling of atmospheric CO sub(2) has many features in common with CM2.1, with some notable differences. For example, rainfall changes over the Mediterranean appear to be tightly linked to topography in CM2.5, in contrast to CM2.1 where the response is more spatially homogeneous. In addition, in CM2.5 the near-surface ocean warms substantially in the high latitudes of the Southern Ocean, in contrast to simulations using CM2.1.

Results are presented for SST anomalies averaged over 18 models as well as from 8 individual models. For each basin, there exists large intermodel spread in the magnitude and even the sign of the frequency response among the different SST projections. These sizable variations in response are explored to understand features of SST distributions that are important for the basin-wide hurricane responses. In the North Atlantic, the eastern Pacific, and the southern Indian basins, most (72%-86%) of the intermodel variance in storm frequency response can be explained by a simple relative SST index defined as a basin's storm development region SST minus the tropical mean SST. The explained variance is significantly lower in the South Pacific (48%) and much lower in the western Pacific basin (27%). Several atmospheric parameters are utilized to probe changes in tropical atmospheric circulation and thermodynamical properties relevant to storm genesis in the model. While all present strong correlation to storm response in some basins, a parameter-measuring tropospheric convective mass flux stands out as skillful in explaining the simulated differences for all basins. Globally, in addition to a modest reduction of total storm frequency, the simulations exhibit a small, but robust eastward and poleward migration of genesis frequency in both the North Pacific and the North Atlantic Oceans. This eastward migration of storms can also be explained by changes in convection.

Fish reared in the laboratory for 27 days were fed, fasted, or fasted and then refed. Growth rates and proximate body composition (protein, fat, water) were measured in each fish to evaluate nutritional status and condition. Growth rates of fish responded rapidly to the absence or reintroduction of food, whereas body composition (% wet weight) remained relatively stable owing to isometric growth in fed fish and little loss of body constituents in fasted fish, resulting in nonsignificant differences in body composition among feeding treatments. The utility of BIA and Fulton's K as condition indices requires differences in body composition. In our study, BIA measures were not significantly different among the three feeding treatments, and only on the final day of sampling was K of fasted vs. fed fish significantly different. BIA measures were correlated with body composition content; however, wet weight was a better predictor of body composition on both a content and concentration (% wet weight) basis. Because fish were growing isometrically, neither BIA nor K was well correlated with growth rate. For immature fish, where growth rate, rather than energy reserves, is a more important indicator of fish condition, a nonlethal index that reflects short-term changes in growth rate or the potential for growth would be more suitable as a condition index than either BIA measures or Fulton's K.

A mass stranding of three Melon-headed Whales (2 males, 1 female) was recorded on 11 January 2008 along the Horry County coast in the cities of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Three additional Melon-headed Whales (1 male, 1 female, and 1 unknown sex) stranded as single individuals over the next two months at locations along the South Carolina coast. Lengths of the animals ranged from 161 to 250 cm, and the ages ranged from 1 to 24 years. On 4 May 2008, a single 263cm, 17-year-old, male Atlantic White-sided Dolphin stranded in Horry County. The most striking commonalities observed during the Melon-headed Whale and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin necropsies were severe pulmonary distress and reactive lymphadenopathy. The strandings reported herein are the first records of Melon-headed Whales and Atlantic White-sided Dolphins in South Carolina.

Pesticides add to and interact with other stressors of ecosystem processes, including surface-water diversions, losses of spawning and rearing habitats, nonnative species, and harmful algal blooms. Assessing the cumulative effects of pesticides on species or ecological functions has been difficult for historical, legal, conceptual, and practical reasons. To explore these challenges, we examine current-use (modern) pesticides and their potential connections to the abundances of fishes in the San Francisco Estuary (California). Declines in delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and other species have triggered mandatory and expensive management actions in the urbanizing estuary and agriculturally productive Central Valley. Our inferences are transferable to other situations in which toxics may drive changes in ecological status and trends.

While the status of commercially important species is available, abundance trend information for other coastal shark species in the north-west Atlantic Ocean are unavailable. Using a generalized linear modelling (GLM) approach, a relative abundance index was derived from 1994 to 2009 using observer data collected in a commercial bottom longline fishery. Trends in abundance and average size were estimated for bull shark Carcharhinus leucas, spinner shark Carcharhinus brevipinna, tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier and lemon shark Negaprion brevirostris. Increases in relative abundance for all shark species ranged from 14% for C. brevipinna, 12% for C. leucas, 6% for N. brevirostris and 3% for G. cuvier. There was no significant change in the size at capture over the time period considered for all species. While the status of shark populations should not be based exclusively on abundance trend information, but ultimately on stock assessment models, results from this study provide some cause for optimism on the status of these coastal shark species.

Composites are constructed for each of the eight phases of the Wheeler-Hendon MJO index over 12 overlapping three-month seasons. To ensure that the MJO signal is distinguished from other patterns of climate variability, several steps are taken: (a) only days classified as "MJO events" are used in the composites, (b) statistical significance of associated composites is assessed using a Monte Carlo procedure, and (c) intraseasonal frequencies are matched to the unfiltered data. Composites of other fields are also shown in order to examine how the SAT and precipitation anomalies are associated with large-scale circulations providing a link between the tropics and extratropics. The strongest and most significant MJO effects on SAT are found during the northern winter seasons. When enhanced convection is located over the equatorial Indian Ocean, below-average SAT tends to occur in New England and the Great Lakes region. As enhanced tropical convection shifts over the Maritime continent, above-average SAT appears in the eastern states of the US from Maine to Florida. The MJO influence on precipitation is also significant during northern winter seasons. When enhanced convection is located over the Maritime continent, more precipitation is observed in the central plains of the US. Enhanced precipitation also occurs over the west coast of the US when convective activity is stronger over the Indian Ocean.

Ecological information on the entire catch (all animals removed, whether retained or discarded) of both species targeted by the fishery and nontarget species (i.e., bycatch) is required. We used data from the well-documented purse-seine fishery for tunas (Thunnus albacares, T. obesus, and Katsuwonus pelamis) in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean to examine the fishery's ecological effects. Purse-seine fishing in the eastern tropical Pacific is conducted in 3 ways that differ in the amount and composition of target species and bycatch. The choice of method depends on whether the tunas are swimming alone (unassociated sets), associated with dolphins (dolphin sets), or associated with floating objects (floating-object sets). Among the fishing methods, we compared catch on the basis of weight, number of individuals, trophic level, replacement time, and diversity. Floating-object sets removed 2-3 times as much biomass as the other 2 methods, depending on how removal was measured. Results of previous studies suggest the ecological effects of floating-object sets are thousands of times greater than the effects of other methods, but these results were derived from only numbers of discarded animals. Management of the fishery has been driven to a substantial extent by a focus on reducing bycatch, although discards are currently 4.8% of total catch by weight, compared with global averages of 7.5% for tuna longline fishing and 30.0% for midwater trawling. An ecosystem approach to fisheries management requires that ecological effects of fishing on all animals removed by a fishery, not just bycatch or discarded catch, be measured with a variety of metrics.Original Abstract: Resumen:Un enfoque ecosistemico en el manejo de pesquerias es una meta ampliamente reconocida, pero describir y medir los efectos de una pesqueria sobre un ecosistema es dificil. Se requiere informacion ecologica de toda la captura (todos los animales extraidos, ya sea retenidos o descartados) tanto de especies objetivo de la pesqueria como de especies no objetivo (captura incidental). Utilizamos datos de la pesqueria de atunes (Thunnus albacares, T. obesus y Katsuwonus pelamis) con red de cerco en el Oceano Pacefico oriental tropical, bien documentada, para examinar los efectos ecologicos de la pesqueria. La pesca con red de cerco en el Pacifico oriental tropical se lleva a cabo de tres formas, con distintas cantidades y composiciones de las especies objetivo y de la captura incidental. La seleccion del metodo depende de si los atunes se encuentran nadando solos (lances no asociados), asociados con delfines (lances sobre delfines) o asociados con objetos flotantes (lances sobre objetos flotantes). Entre los metodos de pesca, comparamos la captura con base en el peso, numero de individuos, nivel trofico, tiempo de reemplazo, y diversidad. Los lances sobre objetos flotantes extrajeron dos a tres veces mas biomasa que los otros metodos, dependiendo de como se midio la extraccion. Los resultados de estudios previos sugieren que los efectos ecologicos de los lances sobre objetos flotantes son miles de veces mayores que los efectos de otros metodos, pero estos resultados fueron derivados del numero de animales descartados solamente. El manejo de la pesqueria ha sido impulsado en grado sustancial por una concentracion en la reduccion de la captura incidental, aunque los descartes actualmente forman el 4.8% de la captura total en peso, comparado con los promedios globales de 7.5% para la pesca atunera con palangre y 30.0% para la captura con red de arrastre a media agua. Un enfoque ecosistemico al manejo de las pesquerias requiere que los efectos ecoligicos de la pesca sobre todos los animales extraidos por una pesqueria, no solo la captura incidental o captura descartada, sean cuantificados con una variedad de metricas.

Statistical analyses identified four major genetic assemblages of sockeye salmon in the 1924 samples. Two of these putative historical groupings were found to be genetically similar to extant evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) in the Okanogan and Wenatchee Rivers (pairwise FST=0.004 and 0.002, respectively), and assignment tests were able to allocate 77% of the fish in these two historical groupings to the contemporary Okanogan River and Lake Wenatchee ESUs. A third historical genetic grouping was most closely aligned with contemporary sockeye salmon in Redfish Lake, Idaho, although the association was less robust (pairwise FST=0.060). However, a fourth genetic grouping did not appear to be related to any contemporary sockeye salmon or kokanee population, assigned poorly to the O. nerka baseline, and had distinctive early return migration timing, suggesting that this group represents a historical ESU originating in headwater lakes in British Columbia that was probably extirpated sometime after 1924. The lack of a contemporary O. nerka population possessing the genetic legacy of this extinct ESU indicates that efforts to reestablish early-migrating sockeye salmon to the headwater lakes region of the Columbia River will be difficult.

We used 20 years of trawl survey data and 1 year of acoustic telemetry data to evaluate the vertical and horizontal movement patterns of spotted ratfish Hydrolagus colliei in Puget Sound, WA, USA. Densities of large ratfish ( greater than or equal to 30 cm) were higher at the deepest depths trawled (70 m) during daylight hours, whereas densities were similar across depth zones (to 10 m) at night. Acoustic tracking of ratfish showed distinct diel patterns of movement and activity level; ratfish moved into shallow, nearshore habitats at night from deeper, offshore habitats during the day and made ~3 times more moves at night than day in shallow habitats. Broader spatial patterns depended on where ratfish were tagged: one tag group remained in one general location with few excursions, whereas a second tag group moved within a 20-km band with some individuals moving >90 km. These data will help inform food web models' abilities to quantify interspecific interactions between ratfish and other components of their community.

Despite a hypothesized high biomass and numerous trophic roles, they remain uncharacterized relative to exposed reef communities. Motile cryptofauna were sampled from live coral colonies and dead frameworks typifying four successive levels of degradation on an eastern Pacific pocilloporid reef. Abundances and biomass were higher on live versus dead corals habitats. The density of cryptofauna per volume substrate was highest on dead coral frameworks of intermediate degradation, where complex eroded substrates provide abundant shelters. These data have important and far-reaching ramifications for how the diverse multispecies assemblages that are reef ecosystems will respond to anthropogenic stressors such as those associated with climate change. Extreme levels of coral mortality, bioerosion, and habitat destruction will lead to impairment and eventually loss of ecosystem functions.

AN - 1027033002; 15283-5_0030 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a second explosives handling wharf (EHW-2) at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK Bangor) in Silverdale, Kitsap County, Washington are proposed. NBK Bangor is located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle and provides berthing and support services to TRIDENT submarines. The entirety of NBK Bangor, including the land areas and adjacent waters in Hood Canal, is restricted from general public use. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

AN - 1027032951; 15283-5_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a second explosives handling wharf (EHW-2) at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK Bangor) in Silverdale, Kitsap County, Washington are proposed. NBK Bangor is located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle and provides berthing and support services to TRIDENT submarines. The entirety of NBK Bangor, including the land areas and adjacent waters in Hood Canal, is restricted from general public use. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

AN - 1027032696; 15283-5_0015 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a second explosives handling wharf (EHW-2) at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK Bangor) in Silverdale, Kitsap County, Washington are proposed. NBK Bangor is located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle and provides berthing and support services to TRIDENT submarines. The entirety of NBK Bangor, including the land areas and adjacent waters in Hood Canal, is restricted from general public use. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

AN - 1027032486; 15283-5_0019 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a second explosives handling wharf (EHW-2) at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK Bangor) in Silverdale, Kitsap County, Washington are proposed. NBK Bangor is located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle and provides berthing and support services to TRIDENT submarines. The entirety of NBK Bangor, including the land areas and adjacent waters in Hood Canal, is restricted from general public use. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

AN - 1027032481; 15283-5_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a second explosives handling wharf (EHW-2) at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK Bangor) in Silverdale, Kitsap County, Washington are proposed. NBK Bangor is located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle and provides berthing and support services to TRIDENT submarines. The entirety of NBK Bangor, including the land areas and adjacent waters in Hood Canal, is restricted from general public use. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of the wharf proper and access trestles. This final EIS evaluates a No Action Alternative and five action alternatives consisting of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). The Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1) is the preferred alternative. The project would also include construction of an upland road, an abutment where the trestles connect to the shore, and an upland construction staging area. Approximately 20 existing facilities and/or structures in proximity to the proposed structure would be modified or demolished to comply with safety and security activity requirements. The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over four years. In-water work would be subject to timing and seasonal restrictions to avoid and minimize impacts. Construction would typically occur six days per week, but could occur seven days per week. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new wharf would support future program requirements for the eight submarines homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Implementation would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of an estimated 4,370 direct jobs and 1,970 indirect and induced jobs. Total economic output to the region would be in excess of $722 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Upland construction would disturb vegetation and displace 0.20 acre of wetland, which would be mitigated. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutants. Long term impacts would include loss and shading of marine habitat including eelgrass, macroalgae and benthic community, and interference with migration of juvenile salmon. All action alternatives would have the potential to adversely affect fish, birds, and marine mammals. Species that may be adversely affected include Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, bull trout, bocaccio, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, Steller sea lion, and marbled murrelet.

Here, the metal-organic framework Fe (sub 2) (dobdc) (dobdc (super 4-) :2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) is demonstrated to exhibit excellent performance characteristics for separation of ethylene/ethane and propylene/propane mixtures at 318 kelvin. Breakthrough data obtained for these mixtures provide experimental validation of simulations, which in turn predict high selectivities and capacities of this material for the fractionation of methane/ethane/ethylene/acetylene mixtures, removal of acetylene impurities from ethylene, and membrane-based olefin/paraffin separations. Neutron powder diffraction data confirm a side-on coordination of acetylene, ethylene, and propylene at the iron(II) centers, while also providing solid-state structural characterization of the much weaker interactions of ethane and propane with the metal.

AN - 926643294; 22306965 AB - Domoic acid (DA) is a potent neurotoxin that has both marine wildlife and human health impacts, including developmental effects during prenatal exposure in rodent models. However, little is known regarding DA toxicokinetics in the fetal unit during maternal-fetal transfer. Tissue distribution and toxicokinetics of DA were investigated in pregnant rats and their pups just prior to birth at gestational day 20. Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were given an intravenous dose of 1.0 mg DA/kg and samples of maternal plasma, fetal plasma, placenta, amniotic fluid and fetal brain were taken at intervals over 24 h. Toxicokinetic parameters were determined using WinNonLin software analysis. Maternal plasma DA log concentration-time curves fit a two compartment pharmacokinetic profile, with alpha and beta half-lives of elimination of 26.9 and 297 min, respectively. Placenta had a C(max) of 752 ng/mL and a terminal half-life of 577 min. Maternal-fetal transfer between the plasma compartments was 31% with a fetal plasma C(max) of 86 ng/mL at 60 min and terminal half-life of 553 min. Amniotic fluid and fetal brain had overall averages of 27±12 ng/mL and 8.12 ng/g, respectively, and did not show evidence of elimination over 24 h. The longer fetal retention of DA, particularly in amniotic fluid, indicates that the fetus may be continually re-exposed during gestation, which could potentially lead to a disease state even at small exposure dose. This has implications for the California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), which exhibit an epilepsy-like disease that arises months after DA producing blooms. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Temporal consistency of this error characteristic of precipitation data is as important as accuracy itself for reliable streamflow prediction with a hydrologic model. The main goal of this paper is to illustrate the detection and adverse effect of inconsistent precipitation data on distributed hydrologic model simulations over a mountainous basin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. We used 1-h 4 km gridded precipitation time series intended for the second phase of the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project (DMIP-2), sponsored by the US National Weather Service (NWS). We present various analyses to investigate the consistency of an hourly gridded precipitation time series from October 1988 through September 2006. First, hourly gridded precipitation data were aggregated into monthly mean areal precipitation totals over the basin and compared with basin average totals derived from the Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) monthly values. Second, double mass analysis was preformed on several discrete locations within the basin using both the DMIP-2 gridded precipitation and PRISM data. In addition, we performed a statistical consistency test on the DMIP-2 time series. Both analyses lead to the conclusion that over the entire analysis time period a clear change in bias in the DMIP-2 data occurred in the beginning of 2003. Moreover, it was found that the PRISM data also exhibit some inconsistency. The inconsistency of two elevation zone mean area precipitation (MAP) time series computed from the DMIP-2 gridded precipitation fields was corrected by adjusting hourly values based on the result from double mass analysis. Model simulations using the adjusted MAP data are improved compared to simulations with the inconsistent MAP input data.

Arctic sea ice area shows large interannual variability due to the numerous factors, but on longer time scales the total sea ice area is approximately linearly related to Arctic surface air temperature in models and observations. Overall, models however strongly underestimate the recent sea ice decline. Here we show that this can be explained with two interlinked biases. Most climate models simulate a smaller sea ice area reduction per degree local surface warming. Arctic polar amplification, the ratio between Arctic and global temperature, is also underestimated but a number of models are within the uncertainty estimated from natural variability. A recalibration of an ensemble of global climate models using observations over 28 years provides a scenario independent relationship and yields about 2 degree C change in annual mean global surface temperature above present as the most likely global temperature threshold for September sea ice to disappear, but with substantial associated uncertainty. Natural variability in the Arctic is large and needs to be considered both for such recalibrations as well as for model evaluation, in particular when observed trends are relatively short.

AN - 1017751931; 15268 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new two-lane road from Interstate 395 (I-395) to Route 9 to the east of East Eddington in southern Penobscot County, Maine is proposed. The 54-square-mile study area is located east of Bangor and I-95, and includes the city of Brewer and the towns of Holden and Eddington. Small portions of the town of Clifton and the town of Dedham in Hancock County are also in the study area. The greater Bangor area is the economic and employment center for the north-central Maine region and a center for goods movement because of its proximity to the Interstate system and Canadian markets. Poor roadway geometry in the study area combined with an increase in local and regional commercial and passenger traffic has resulted in poor system linkage, safety concerns, and traffic congestion. Transportation system alternatives are proposed to improve safety along Routes 1A and 46, and to improve the current and future flow of traffic and the shipment of goods to the Interstate system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and three build alternatives. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2B-2) would involve construction of a two-lane controlled-access highway within a 200-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW). The alignment would proceed north from the I-395 interchange with Route 1A, roughly paralleling the Brewer/Holden town line, and connect with Route 9 west of Chemo Pond Road. Route 9 would not be widened to four lanes. The existing I-395/Route 1A interchange would be expanded to become a semidirectional interchange. The new roadway would bridge over Felts Brook in two locations at the I-395 interchange and would pass underneath Eastern Avenue between Woodridge Road and Brian Drive. The alignment would bridge over Eaton Brook, bridge over Lambert Road, pass underneath Mann Hill Road, and bridge over Levenseller Road connecting to Route 9 at a T intersection. Route 9 eastbound would be controlled with a stop sign. Under Alternative 5A2B-2, the alignment would start at I-395 and proceed for one mile along the southern side of Route 1A in the town of Holden before turning northward, crossing over Route 1A and paralleling the Bangor Hydro-Electric Company utility easement to connect with Route 9. Alternative 5A2B-2 would connect to Route 1A with a new modified-diamond interchange. Under Alternative 5B2B-2, the alignment would start at the I-395 interchange with Route 1A and follow a more westerly route before turning east and connecting with Route 9 west of Chemo Pond Road. Costs are estimated in 2011 dollars in the range of $61 million to $81 million. A plan to protect the selected corridor from further development would include development of zoning and local ordinances and selective acquisition of properties as they become available. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would improve regional system linkage and improve safety along Routes 1A and 46. Removal of a substantial portion of heavy-truck traffic and other through-traffic along Route 1A and a portion of Route 9 in Brewer and Eddington would improve access safety and reduce traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would impact 26 to 31 acres of wetlands and two to 11 acres of floodplains. Six to nine stream crossings would impact aquatic habitats and fisheries. Six to 15 residences would be displaced and the preferred alternative would displace 20 percent of Eastern Maine Healthcares parking lot. Snowmobile trails maintained by the Eastern Maine Snowmobile Association would be crossed in three to six locations. Future development along Route 9 in the study area could impact future traffic flow and the overall benefits of the project.

Full meteorological and chemistry simulations are carried out for the United States for August-September 2006. Predicted organic aerosol (OA) concentrations are compared against surface measurements made by several networks and aircraft data from the TexAQS-2006 field campaign. Elemental carbon simulations are also evaluated in order to evaluate the model's ability to capture their emissions, transport, and removal. Certain measurement limitations, such as daily averaged OA concentrations, impose some difficulties on the model evaluation, and hourly averaged OA measurements provide more informative constraints compared to daily concentrations. The updated model demonstrates a significant improvement in simulating the OA concentrations compared to the standard WRF-CHEM, which predicts very little SOA. The improvement in organic carbon (OC) predictions is noticeable in correlations and model bias. The correlations of OC exceed that of the persistence forecasts for hourly concentrations in the southeast United States during daytime. The updated traditional SOA yields still lead to an underestimation of observed OA, while addition of the multigenerational volatile organic compound (VOC) oxidation drastically improves model performance. However, several key uncertainties remain in SOA formation and loss mechanisms, which are characterized through several perturbation simulations. Dry deposition of VOC oxidation products is an important factor in the atmospheric SOA budget. The combination of the biogenic VOC emissions, updated SOA yields, and aging mechanism result in biogenic SOA being the dominant OA component for much of the nonurban United States.

AN - 1015457711; 15266 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a ballast water discharge standard (BWDS) to prevent or reduce the number of nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced into U.S. waters is proposed. Ballast water discharge (BWD) is a major pathway for NIS introduction from vessels operating in or entering U.S. waters and studies show that the rate of NIS introductions is increasing. NIS have been cited as the second largest threat to endangered species after habitat loss. On September 26, 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) announced its proposed action to establish a BWDS that is effective in preventing the introduction and spread of NIS via discharged ballast water. This programmatic EIS has been prepared because a BWDS would impact vessels entering and/or operating in a large geographic area and a wide variety of ecosystems and meets the definition of a broad federal program. Five alternatives are analyzed in this draft programmatic EIS. Alternative 1, the No Action Alternative, would continue the existing Ballast Water Management program, established in 2004, which directs ships to conduct mid-ocean exchange, retain ballast water onboard, or use an environmentally sound management method approved by the USCG. Under Alternatives 2, 3, and 4, maximum discharge concentrations for living organisms would be established. Each of these alternatives is stated in terms of two different organism size classes, and the number of living organisms per volume discharge for each size class. A third class, microorganisms, is specified in terms of indicator bacteria and the number of colony forming unit per 100 milliliters. The standard becomes progressively more stringent from Alternative 2 to Alternative 4 (Alternatives 3 and 4 are 10 times and 100 times more stringent than Alternative 2, respectively). Alternative 5 would require the removal or inactivation of all living membrane-bound organisms larger than 0.1 micron and essentially amounts to sterilization. Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative. Over a 10-year period, the projected total installation and operating cost for systems capable of meeting the Alternative 2 standards is estimated at $1.18 to $1.35 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed BWDS would address the threat from NIS to aquatic and marine ecosystems and biodiversity, commercial and recreational fisheries, infrastructure, human health, and economic interests. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some NIS introductions would continue with each of the alternatives, including sterilization. NIS would also continue to be introduced by BWD not subject to the standard and from other vectors including ships' hulls, anchor systems, sea chests, internal seawater piping systems, and bilges.

In this work, a new and direct method for testing the fracture strength of substrate-supported nanowires is introduced. The ultimate fracture strengths of Si nanowires with radii in the 20 nm to 60 nm range were measured through a sequential atomic force microscopy manipulation-scanning protocol. Using crystallographic structure analysis provided by transmission electron microscopy, the fracture strength of the measured Si nanowires was assessed in terms of microstructure and surface effects. On one hand, the internal twinstructure of the nanowires can account to some extent for the large average values of the measured fracture strengths. On the other hand, the radius dependence of the fracture strength can be rationalized as a surface effect determining the number of stress-concentrating surface flaws.

We have used extensive density functional theory simulations to investigate the deformation of [110]-gold nanowires in the presence of light atomic or molecular impurities for several different tensile axes and effective strain rates. Substantial differences in both the wire evolution and the calculated conductance traces are found, with respect to the uncontaminated case. Different contamination mechanisms are investigated by changing the stage of deformation at which the impurity is added to the system. Lastly, the likelihood of an impurity being incorporated into a single-atom-chain is also examined.

CALPHADbased multicomponent databases are developed by combining binary and ternary mobility descriptions. However, when the binary descriptions considered do not use the same reference mobilities, the descriptions cannot be combined to assemble a large multicomponent database. Efforts based at NIST to develop a reference diffusion mobility database will be presented, including an initial set of recommendations for many of the commonly used elements. Using these initial recommendations a diffusion mobility database is developed for processing of the -CuInSe2 photovoltaic absorber material. The development of this database highlights the challenges of constructing databases with limited data and the importance of understanding the dominate diffusion mechanism when describing the sublattice models for complex phases.

This method employs slopes between mixing ratio enhancements of a given pollutant (CO2, for instance) with other co-emitted tracers in conjunction with the emission inventories of those tracers (CO, NOy, and SO2 are used in this example). The current application of this method employed in situ measurements onboard the NOAA WP-3 research aircraft during the 2006 Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS 2006). We used 3 different transport models to estimate the uncertainties introduced by the transport models in the inversion. We demonstrated the validity of the new inversion method by calculating a 4 4 km2 emission inventory of anthropogenic CO2 in the Houston area in Texas, and comparing it to the 10 10 km2 Vulcan emission inventory for the same region. The calculated anthropogenic CO2 inventory for the Houston Ship Channel, home to numerous major industrial and port emission sources, showed excellent agreement with Vulcan. The daytime CO2 average flux from the Ship Channel is the largest urban CO2 flux reported in the literature. Compared to Vulcan, the daytime urban area CO2 emissions were higher by 37% +/- 6%. Those differences can be explained by uncertainties in emission factors in Vulcan and by increased emissions from point sources and on-road emitters between 2002, the reference year in Vulcan, and 2006, the year that the TexAQS observations were made.

Simulations are divided into smaller time segments and each segment is continued as an independent calculation using a unit source emission. Multiple computational species are tracked at the same time to represent different classes of radionuclides, each with different dry and wet deposition characteristics. When quantitative air concentration results are required, the unit source calculations are multiplied by the appropriate temporally varying emission rates and decay factors for the radionuclide species involved. Air concentrations for multiple emission scenarios can easily be created in a few minutes and used to optimize model results as more measurement data become available. The procedure was evaluated for the Fukushima accident using publically available emission estimates and some I-131 and Cs-137 monitoring data. The model performance was evaluated at four sampling locations (Dutch Harbor, Alaska; Seattle, Washington; Dublin, Ireland; and Huelva, Spain) at various distances from Japan. The model results showed a very high correlation for the I-131 particulate predictions (0.94) and a moderate correlation for the Cs-137 predictions (0.40). The cesium predictions at Seattle showed five distinct time periods of concentration over-predictions associated with two peak emission periods. Adjusting these emission rates downward to correspond more closely with the time-adjacent rates eliminated the over-prediction but resulted in total emissions of Cs-137 (3 PBq) that were much less than estimated by other researchers (36 PBq).

Efforts to document accompanying precipitation changes in observations have met with limited success, and have been primarily focussed on large-scale regions in order to reduce the relative impact of the natural variability of precipitation as compared to any potential forced change. Studies have not been able to identify statistically significant changes in observed precipitation on small spatial scales. General circulation climate models offer the possibility to extend the analysis of precipitation changes into the future, to determine when simulated changes may emerge from the simulated variability locally as well as regionally. Here we estimate the global temperature increase needed for the precipitation "signal" to emerge from the "noise" of interannual variability within various climatic regions during their wet season. The climatic regions are defined based on cluster analysis. The dry season is not included due to poor model performance as compared to measurements during the observational period. We find that at least a 1.4 degree C warmer climate compared with the early 20th century is needed for precipitation changes to become statistically significant in any of the analysed climate regions. By the end of this century, it is likely that many land regions will experience statistically significant mean precipitation changes during wet season relative to the early 20th century based on an A1B scenario.

Marine mammals rely on sound as a primary sensory modality, and the noise associated with increasing human activities offshore can interfere with vital life functions. Many coastal communities rely on marine mammals for food and cultural identity, and subsistence hunters have expressed strong concerns that underwater sound from human activities negatively affects both the animals and hunting success. Federal regulations require scientists and oil and gas operators to acquire incidental harassment authorizations for activities that may disturb marine mammals. Currently, authorization requests are focused on the impacts of sound from activities considered in isolation of one another, and this precludes any possibility of a meaningful analysis of the cumulative impacts from multiple sources. We propose a new assessment framework that is based on the acoustic habitats that constitute the aggregate sound field from multiple sources, compiled at spatial and temporal scales consistent with the ecology of Arctic marine mammals.

Data-limited management reference points to avoid collapse of stocks dependent on learned migration behaviour. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 267-270.Risk of stock collapse associated with the loss of a stock's migrational knowledge may be underestimated by conventional reference points. In this paper, I describe three different approaches: a data-poor precautionary approach is to ensure that individuals spawn at least twice; a data-intermediate approach is to calculate a repeat spawning potential ratio (rSPR), which is analogous to the conventional SPR; and for data-rich cases, age-structured population simulations are recommended.

We examined gut contents from 964 individuals of 39 seabird species collected 5 to 60 km off the coast of North Carolina for evidence of Sargassum use. Sargassum pieces or Sargassum-associated prey were found in nine of 10 Procellariiformes species and less frequently among Charadriiformes (12 of 25 species). No Sargassum-associated prey was found in Pelecaniformes examined, but observational data indicated that Atlantic tropicbirds (Phaethon lepturus and P. aethereus) and Masked Boobies (Sula dactylatra) commonly foraged over Sargassum. Four species were considered Sargassum specialists, having frequencies of occurrence >25%% and high volumes of Sargassum-associated prey: Audubon's Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri), Royal Tern (Thalasseus maximus), Bridled Tern (Onychoprion anaethetus), and Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus). Seven species fed in Sargassum to a lesser extent, and nine species had ingested Sargassum pieces, but contained no Sargassum-associated prey. It is likely that other seabird species forage regularly over Sargassum, as our conclusions are based on relatively small sample sizes taken during random sampling in the open ocean. Our conservative analysis and extensive observational data indicate the Sargassum community is critical for feeding for some western North Atlantic seabirds. Degradation of Sargassum habitats by oil development, harvest, and/or ocean acidification would undoubtedly have negative effects on fitness of these birds.

Distributional patterns of 0-group Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the eastern Bering Sea under variable recruitment and thermal conditions. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 163-174.Despite the importance of Pacific cod in Bering Sea fisheries and foodwebs, little is known about the habitat use and the distribution of early life stages. We analysed 6 years of catch data for 0-group Pacific cod in fishery-independent surveys of the Bering Sea shelf. Juvenile cod were most commonly captured on the middle shelf over depths of 50-80 m and were rarely captured north of 58 degree N. Consistently high catches were observed east of the Pribilof Islands and north of Port Moller along the Alaska Peninsula. There was evidence of density-dependent habitat selection at the local scale as the frequency of occurrence increased with regional catch per unit effort. At the basin scale, the southerly distribution of the weak 2009 cohort suggested the possibility of a range contraction for small cohorts. There was no consistent shift in the distribution of juvenile Pacific cod in response to interannual climate variability. These results for Pacific cod contrast with those observed for walleye pollock, which appears to exhibit greater variance in distribution, but are similar to patterns observed for juvenile Atlantic cod. Future work should focus on distribution in nearshore habitats and examine the patterns of dispersal and the connectivity of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska populations.

A new forward operator for radar reflectivity is developed that uses a background temperature field provided by a numerical weather prediction model for automatic hydrometeor classification. Three types of experiments are performed on both the idealized and real data cases. The first experiment uses radial velocity data only, the second experiment uses both radial velocity and reflectivity data without hydrometeor classification, and the final experiment uses both radial velocity and reflectivity data with hydrometeor classification. All experiments advance the analysis state to the next observation time using a numerical model prediction, which is then used as the background for the next analysis. Results from both the idealized and real data cases show that, assimilating only radial velocity data, the model can reconstruct the supercell thunderstorm after several cycles, but the development of precipitation is delayed because of the well-known spinup problem. The spinup problem is reduced dramatically when assimilating reflectivity without hydrometeor classification. The analyses are further improved using the new reflectivity formulation with hydrometeor classification. This study represents a successful first effort in variational convective-scale data assimilation to partition hydrometeors using a background temperature field from a numerical weather prediction model.

F., Hanselman, D. H., and Quinn II, T. J. 2012. Determining effective sample size in integrated age-structured assessment models. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69:281-292.Effective sample size (ESS) is a quantity that allows for overdispersion of variance and is used commonly in integrated age-structured fishery assessment models to fit age-and-length-composition datasets. Owing to the sources of measurement, observation, process, and model-specification errors, the ESS is smaller than the actual sample size. In this study, methods to set a priori or to estimate the ESS when confronted with datasets that include these sources of error were investigated. In general, a number of methods previously proposed to incorporate the ESS resulted in accurate estimation of population quantities and parameters when different sources of error were included in the data on age and length compositions. Three objective methods to incorporate the ESS resulted in unbiased population quantities: (i) using sampling theory to derive the ESS from actual age and length compositions, (ii) iteratively estimating the ESS with the age-structured assessment model, and (iii) estimating the ESS as a parameter with the Dirichlet distribution.

These habitat types were defined by combinations of structure (cover type) and location (distance from shore) as: Spartina edge ( less than or equal to 1 m from shore), Spartina (3 m from shore); Juncus edge ( less than or equal to 1 m from shore); seagrass located 3, 5, and 20 m from shore; and shallow non-vegetated bottom at various distances from shore. Although seagrass and Spartina edge sites differed little in environmental characteristics, the density and biomass of most abundant taxa, including pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum), were higher in seagrass. Most species within seagrass and Spartina did not differ in abundance or biomass with distance from shore. Our study revealed a shift in peak habitat use in the northeastern GoM to seagrass beds from the pattern observed to the west where nekton is concentrated within shoreline emergent vegetation.

A single-basket approach, which controls aggregate emissions, was adopted by the Kyoto Protocol. Such an approach allows emissions reductions of one gas to be traded with those of other gases in the "basket", with the trade "price" determined by some weighting metric like the Global Warming Potential. To reduce stratospheric ozone depletion, the Montreal Protocol also dealt with controlling many compounds, but did so employing an alternative, multi-basket scheme. Trading was allowed within each basket, but not among baskets. While the Montreal Protocol has been highly successful using this approach, we show that if a single-basket approach had been adopted the short-term success could have been at risk due to the non-unique relationship between controls and environmental impacts when using a single basket. Using climate policy as an example, and without considering technological and economic constraints, we further show that the magnitude of the ambiguities in impacts associated with a single-basket approach depends on the rapidity of the emission phaseout. Fast phaseouts lead to less ambiguity than do slow ones. These results suggest that for each set of greenhouse gas control policies considered, the benefit of additional flexibility associated with a single-basket approach should be weighed against the associated increased uncertainties in the impacts to ascertain whether a single- or a multi-basket approach has the greater chance of successfully mitigating climate change.

We examined geographic variability in marsh access by measuring tidal flooding characteristics in 15 Spartina alterniflora marshes in the southeastern US between South Texas and lower Chesapeake Bay. Flooding duration and flooding frequency were correlated with the elevation of the marsh edge in relation to mean low water and with the tidal range. Mean annual flooding duration over the years 2006-2008 was highest in Texas (91.5% in Aransas Bay) and North Carolina (89.3% in Pamlico Sound) and lowest in Timbalier Bay, LA (54%) and the lower Carolinas and Georgia (55-57%). We used published data on densities of blue crabs and penaeid shrimps as a measure of habitat selection, and there was a positive relationship between marsh selection and flooding duration.

Total sedimentary selenium increased with depth, with approximately 50% of the sedimentary selenium as elemental selenium and 35% as organic selenide. Porewater total dissolved selenium increased with depth in the estuary and Delta, and fluxes out of the sediments were calculated at 0.01 and 0.06 nmol cm super(-2) year super(-1) for the estuary and Delta, respectively. Present-day sediment-water exchange of dissolved selenium and internal transformations cannot explain the observed increase in total sedimentary selenium with depth. However, mass balance calculations demonstrate that the increase in total selenium with depth may be linked to higher dissolved selenium concentrations in the water column in the 1980s, suggesting that the sediments could be used as historical recorders of selenium in the estuary.

Methods and Results: Multiple batches of V. coralliilyticus were grown under normal conditions. Four samples in one batch were subjected to extreme conditions via a freeze-thaw cycle during lyophilization. Polar metabolites were extracted using a combination of methanol, water and heat. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic profiles indicated significant differences between the normal and stressed samples. Three compounds identified in the stressed metabolome were maltose, ethanolamine, and the bioplastic-type compound (BTC) 2-butenoic acid, 2-carboxy-1-methylethyl ester. This is the first report of the production of this BTC by V. coralliilyticus. Conclusions: The presence of maltose and ethanolamine indicates a state of acute nutrient limitation; therefore, we hypothesize that the cell's metabolism turned to its own cell wall, or perhaps neighbouring cells, for sources of carbon and nitrogen. The presence of the BTC also supports the acute nutrient limitation idea because of the parallels with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production in other gram-negative bacteria, including other Vibrio species. Significance and Impact of the Study: Recent metabolomics research on the temperature-dependent coral pathogen V. coralliilyticus has led to the discovery of several compounds produced by the organism as a response to high density, low nutrient conditions. The three metabolites, along with 1H NMR metabolic fingerprints of the nutrient limited samples, are proposed to serve as metabolic markers for extremely stressful conditions of V. coralliilyticus.

Here, we propose a new analytical model that can simulate mean wind profiles within sparse canopies under neutral conditions. The model adopts a linearized canopy-drag parametrization and a first-order turbulence closure scheme taking into account the effects of both the ground and canopy elements on turbulent mixing. The resulting wind profile within a sparser canopy appears to be more like a logarithmic form, with the no-slip condition at the ground being satisfied. The analytical solution converges exactly to the standard surface-layer logarithmic wind profile in the case of zero canopy density (i.e., no-canopy scenario) and tends to be an exponential wind profile for a dense canopy; this feature is unique compared with existing analytical models for canopy wind profiles. Results from the new model are in good agreement with those from laboratory experiments and numerical simulations.

AN - 921424417; 22325718 AB - The toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, forms dense blooms in the Gulf of Mexico that persist for many months in coastal waters, where they can cause extensive marine animal mortalities and human health impacts. The mechanisms that enable cell survival in high density, low growth blooms, and the mechanisms leading to often rapid bloom demise are not well understood. To gain an understanding of processes that underlie chronological aging in this dinoflagellate, a microarray study was carried out to identify changes in the global transcriptome that accompany the entry and maintenance of stationary phase up to the onset of cell death. The transcriptome of K. brevis was assayed using a custom 10,263 feature oligonucleotide microarray from mid-logarithmic growth to the onset of culture demise. A total of 2958 (29%) features were differentially expressed, with the mid-stationary phase timepoint demonstrating peak changes in expression. Gene ontology enrichment analyses identified a significant shift in transcripts involved in energy acquisition, ribosome biogenesis, gene expression, stress adaptation, calcium signaling, and putative brevetoxin biosynthesis. The extensive remodeling of the transcriptome observed in the transition into a quiescent non-dividing phase appears to be indicative of a global shift in the metabolic and signaling requirements and provides the basis from which to understand the process of chronological aging in a dinoflagellate.

A few key requirements are that the technology be in situ, non-invasive, and provide temporal and spatial information. In this work, we demonstrate that optical coherence microscopy (OCM) can be used to assess cell viability without the addition of exogenous probes in three-dimensional (3D) tissue scaffolds maintained under standard culture conditions. This is done by collecting time-lapse images of speckle generated by sub-cellular features. Image cross-correlation is used to calculate the number of features the final image has in common with the initial image. If the cells are live, the number of common features is low. The number of common features approaches 100% if the cells are dead. In control experiments, cell viability is verified by the addition of a two-photon fluorescence channel to the OCM. Green fluorescent protein transfected human bone marrow stromal cells cultured in a transparent poly(ethylene glycol) tetramethacrylate hydrogel scaffold is used as the control system. Then, the utility of this approach is demonstrated by determining L929 fibroblast cell viability in a more challenging matrix, collagen, an optical scatterer. These results demonstrate a new technique for in situ mapping of single cell viability without any exogenous probes that is capable of providing continuous monitoring of construct health.

In order to obtain quantitative data, the mass or (number) of particles detected by the AMS relative to the mass (or number) of particles sampled by the AMS, i.e., the AMS collection efficiency (CE) must be known. Previous studies have proposed and used parameterizations of the AMS CE based on the aerosol composition and sampling line relative humidity. Here, we evaluate these parameterizations by comparing AMS mass concentrations with independent measurements of fine particle volume or particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) ion chromatography measurements for 3 field campaigns with different dominant aerosol mixtures: (1) acidic sulfate particles, (2) aerosol containing a high mass fraction of ammonium nitrate, and (3) aerosol composed of primarily biomass burning emissions. The use of the default CE of 0.5 for all campaigns resulted in 81-90% of the AMS speciated and total mass concentrations comparing well with fine particle volume or PILS measurements within experimental uncertainties, with positive biases compared with a random error curve. By using composition-dependent CE values (sometimes as a function of size) which increased the CE for the above aerosol types, the fraction of data points within the measurement uncertainties increased to more than 92% and the mass concentrations decreased by similar to 5-15% on an average. The CE did not appear to be significantly dependent on changes in organic mass fraction although it was substantial in the 3 campaigns (47, 30, and 55%).

Thousands of bald eagles overwinter near Puget Sound, primarily to feed on chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) carcasses. We used modeling techniques to examine how anticipated climate changes will affect energetic demands of overwintering bald eagles. We applied a regional downscaling method to two global climate change models to obtain hourly temperature, precipitation, wind, and longwave radiation estimates at the mouths of three Puget Sound tributaries (the Skagit, Hamma Hamma, and Nisqually rivers) in two decades, the 1970s and the 2050s. Climate data were used to drive bald eagle bioenergetics models from December to February for each river, year, and decade. Bald eagle bioenergetics were insensitive to climate change: despite warmer winters in the 2050s, particularly near the Nisqually River, bald eagle food requirements declined only slightly (<1%). However, the warming climate caused salmon carcasses to decompose more rapidly, resulting in 11% to 14% less annual carcass biomass available to eagles in the 2050s. That estimate is likely conservative, as it does not account for decreased availability of carcasses due to anticipated increases in winter stream flow. Future climate-driven declines in winter food availability, coupled with a growing bald eagle population, may force eagles to seek alternate prey in the Puget Sound area or in more remote ecosystems. We modeled the bioenergetics of bald eagles overwintering near Puget Sound, USA under climate conditions from the 1970s and projected for the 2050s. Climate change did not substantially change bald eagle daily energy consumption. However, climate change will likely affect supply of eagles' main food source, salmon carcasses.

We obtain largely increased surface areas up to nearly 1900 m super(2) g super(-1) for GODC samples from 10 m super(2) g super(-1) of precursor graphene oxide (GO). Our GODCs reveal favourable gas adsorption capacities compared to other high surface area carbons. We show that producing high surface area carbons from GO precursor is a viable method, and the porosity parameters are easily tuneable for their potential gas adsorption applications.

We obtained this U/Ne spectrum simultaneously with a laser-frequency comb spectrum, which we used to provide a first-order calibration to the U/Ne spectrum. We then calibrated the U/Ne spectrum using the recently published uranium line list of Redman et al., which is derived from high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer measurements. These two independent calibrations allowed us to easily identify emission lines in the hollow-cathode lamp that do not correspond to known (classified) lines of either uranium or neon, and to compare the achievable precision of each source. Our frequency comb precision was limited by modal noise and detector effects, while the U/Ne precision was limited primarily by the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the observed emission lines and our ability to model blended lines. The standard deviation in the dispersion solution residuals from the S/N-limited U/Ne hollow-cathode lamp was 50% larger than the standard deviation of the dispersion solution residuals from the modal-noise-limited laser-frequency comb. We advocate the use of U/Ne lamps for precision calibration of near-infrared spectrographs, and this H-band atlas makes these lamps significantly easier to use for wavelength calibration.

These methods normally require information on error variances of both the analysis and the observations, which are sometimes difficult to obtain for transport and dispersion problems. Here, the variational problem is set up as a minimization problem that directly minimizes the root mean squared error of the difference between the observations and the prediction. In the context of atmospheric transport and dispersion, the solution of this optimization problem requires a robust technique. A genetic algorithm (GA) is used here for that solution, forming the GA-Variational (GA-Var) technique. The philosophy and formulation of the technique is described here. An advantage of the technique includes that it does not require observation or analysis error covariances nor information about any variables that are not directly assimilated. It can be employed in the context of either a forward assimilation problem or used to retrieve unknown source or meteorological information by solving the inverse problem. The details of the method are reviewed. As an example application, GA-Var is demonstrated for predicting the plume from a volcanic eruption. First the technique is employed to retrieve the unknown emission rate and the steering winds of the volcanic plume. Then that information is assimilated into a forward prediction of its transport and dispersion. Concentration data are derived from satellite data to determine the observed ash concentrations. A case study is made of the March 2009 eruption of Mount Redoubt in Alaska. The GA-Var technique is able to determine a wind speed and direction that matches the observations well and a reasonable emission rate.

The importance of nanoscale structure to the power conversion efficiency and stability of these devices has been recognized, but robust correlations have yet to emerge despite a significant community-wide research investment. Our perspective is that more uniform selection, execution, and interpretation of nanoscale structure measurements will accelerate this endeavor. We will discuss organic bulk heterojunction structural measurements of contemporary interest and importance including vertical stratification, molecular orientation and order, and nanoscale morphology. Specific recommendations are made regarding the technical implementation of some popular techniques, with an eye toward the elimination of artifacts, ambiguous data, and misinterpretation. When possible, topics are highlighted where there is a community consensus on the results of nanoscale structure measurements and how they may relate to organic photovoltaic device performance.

Annual landings varied little during the 1980's and early 1990's, and landings of the bait shrimp fishery exceeded those of the food shrimp fishery. The number of trips and landings in both fisheries increased from the late 1990's through 2002 and food shrimp landings exceeded landings of bait shrimp; landings in both fisheries decreased sharply in 2003. Landings in both fisheries increased in 2004 and 2005, but the increase in food shrimp landings was stronger. Annual catch per trip was much lower in the bait fishery than the food fishery. Each fishery exploited shrimp of a different size. The bait fishery targeted shrimp less than 19 mm carapace length (CL), whereas the food fishery caught shrimp greater than 19 mm CL. We compared monthly bait shrimp catch per unit of effort (CPUE) from the fishery to an estimate of shrimp density from a fishery-independent sampling effort over a 3-yr period and found a strong statistical relationship with the density estimate lagged by 3 mo. The relationship supported the use of bait shrimp fishery CPUE as an index of abundance in upcoming assessments of the effect of a massive water-management-based ecosystem restoration project on pink shrimp in Biscayne Bay. Project implementation will affect freshwater inflows to the bay and salinity patterns. An abundance index with a lengthy pre-implementation history that can be carried into the operational phase of the restoration project will be invaluable in assessing project effects and protecting an important fishery resource of Biscayne Bay. The bait shrimp fishery can provide a continuing index of shrimp abundance from late 1986 forward.

The recently released National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) U.S. National Bycatch Report provides information on bycatch in U.S. commercial fisheries by fishery and species. The report also provides national statistics in the form of national bycatch ratio and a national bycatch estimate. We describe the methods used to develop these statistics and compare them to similar studies. We conclude that the national bycatch ratio and national bycatch estimates developed by NMFS represent the best available information on bycatch in U.S. fisheries. However, given changes in bycatch management over time, as well as inter-annual variability in bycatch levels and a high percentage of fisheries for which data on bycatch are not currently available, we recommend that NMFS continue to support bycatch data collection and reporting efforts to improve the quality and quantity of bycatch data and estimates available to fisheries managers and scientists over time. This will enable NMFS to meet its requirements for bycatch reporting under the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA), as well as requirements for bycatch minimization under the MSA, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and Endangered Species Act.

This study focuses on the effect of organophosphate stabilizers on nanoparticle characteristics, including particle size distribution and zeta potential, when the stabilizer is present during nanoparticle synthesis. Particle size distributions from DLS were obtained as a function of stabilizer type and iron precursor (FeSO sub(4).7H sub(2)O or FeCl sub(3)), and nanoparticles from 2 to 200 nm were produced. Three different organophosphate stabilizer compounds were compared in their ability to control nanoparticle size, and the size distributions obtained for particle volume demonstrated differences caused by the three stabilizers. A range of stabilizer-to-iron (0.05-0.9) and borohydride-to-iron (0.5-8) molar ratios were tested to determine the effect of concentration on nanoparticle size distribution and zeta potential. The combination of ferrous sulfate and ATMP or DTPMP phosphonate stabilizer produced stabilized nanoparticle suspensions, and the stabilizers tested resulted in varying particle size distributions. In general, higher stabilizer concentrations resulted in smaller nanoparticles, and excess borohydride did not decrease nanoparticle size. Zeta potential measurements were largely consistent with particle size distribution data and indicated the stability of the suspensions. Probe sonication, as a nanoparticle resuspension method, was minimally successful in several different organic solvents.

Methylmercury is a known neurotoxin that can affect human health through fish consumption; inorganic mercury (Hg (super II) ) is converted into MeHg mainly in sediments by sulfate reducing bacteria. Methylation has been shown to be affected by physical and biogeochemical factors. The work presented here has the goal to investigate mercury methylation through a gradient of contamination from Wells Maine to Hackensack New Jersey. Methylation and demethylation rates were measured by injecting stable isotopes ( (super 200) Hg, (super 201) Hg and Me (super 199) Hg) into intact cores and incubating for 2 to 7 hours, and cores were then sectioned in 2 cm intervals and flash frozen. THg concentrations span over three orders of magnitude with the lowest concentrations (0.02+ or -0.00 nmol g (super -1) ) found in the pristine sites of Wells ME and the highest concentrations (7.54 + or - 1.82 nmol g (super -1) ) in Hackensack NJ (located downstream of Ventron/Velsicol superfund site where 30-400 tons of mercury compounds were released from 1929 to 1974). Here we show that the methylation potential (nmol Hg L (super -1) day (super -1) ), defined as the sediment's capacity to convert Hg (super II) into MeHg, is dependent on the interplay between sediments binding capacity and input of mercury, hence both pristine and heavily contaminated sites show the same proficiency to methylate Hg. However, despite a high methylation potential, contaminated sites still show significantly lower %MeHg (about 0.2% in Hackensack NJ and up to 3% in Wells ME) as MeHg production does not compensate for high "legacy" THg content.

During 2008, NOAA survey H11996 collected multibeam-echosounder data in a 65-square-kilometer area in central Rhode Island Sound, southeast of Point Judith, Rhode Island. During 2010, the USGS collected bottom photographs and sediment samples from 25 stations in this study area and used these data to interpret distributions of sea-floor features including scour depressions, sand waves, trawl marks, and dredge spoils. Scour depressions, which have steep sides, relatively flat floors, and a variety of shapes spanning 10s to 100s of meters (m) wide and about 0.5 m deep, cover the bathymetric highs in much of the study area. Sediments on the floors of the scour depressions tend to be coarser grained than those on the surrounding sea floor. Sand waves, having east-west oriented crests and wavelengths up to about 40 m, are located mostly in the southwest. Trawl marks are concentrated on the flanks of bathymetric highs across the northern part of the study area. Dredge spoils from the Providence River and Harbor are located at disposal site 69b in a bathymetric low in the western end of the study area. Sediments at most stations are sand or silty sand, but sediments at eight of the stations are boulders, gravel, or gravelly sediment. Coarser sediments are generally located on top of bathymetric highs where higher energy sedimentary environments are prevalent and bottom photographs show boulders and cobbles are commonly overgrown with hydrozoans and anemones. The bathymetric high in the northwestern part of the study area has a bouldery, hummocky appearance suggesting it is a submerged part of the Point Judith moraine, a segment of the 18,000-year-old Harbor Hill-Roanoke Point-Charlestown-Buzzards Bay moraine line. Finer grained sediments dominate in bathymetric lows and on the flanks of bathymetric highs where lower energy sedimentary environments prevail; burrows, accumulations of shells and shell debris, amphipod communities, and worm tubes are common in these areas.

Patchworks of scour depressions control much of the benthic diversity on seaward-facing slopes and adjacent bathymetric highs in eastern Rhode Island Sound. These depressions average about 0.5 m deep, have relatively steep well-defined sides and gravel floors, and occur in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations. Some are elongate and narrow; others are broad and rounded. In places, individual scour depressions have expanded to combine with adjacent depressions, forming larger eroded areas that commonly contain outliers of the original sandy sea-floor sediments. Cobbles and scattered boulders on the depression floors indicate that the finer grained Holocene sediments have been removed, exposing winnowed relict Pleistocene deposits. Relatively weak tidal currents and the lack of asymmetrical scour features suggest that storm-generated currents are more important than bi-directional tidal currents in forming these features, and the presence and morphology of the depressions in the study area suggest they are in equilibrium with the present hydrodynamic regime. These depressions are apparently formed, expanded, and maintained under high-energy shelf conditions owing to hydraulic forces imposed by storm-driven waves and down-welling currents. Because sessile fauna (e.g. hydrozoans, anemones) dominate on gravel floors of the depressions and infauna (e.g. amphipods, polychaetes) are prevalent in the sandy Holocene deposits, we conclude that the resultant close juxtaposition of sand- and gravel-dependent communities promotes regional faunal complexity.

The Analytical Perspectives volume of this budget includes a presentation of federal government transactions on a national income and product accounts (NIPAs) basis for fiscal years 2002 through 2013. These estimates are prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and are consistent with the projected and proposed receipts and outlays defined in the budget for the current fiscal year of 2012 and for the budget year of 2013, as translated into the framework of the NIPAs. They are included in the federal budget to assist readers in gauging the impact of the budget on aggregate economic activity. This article presents NIPA estimates for 2011, 2012, and 2013 that are more detailed than the estimates shown in the budget. Differences between the NIPA estimates presented in this article and those presented in the budget are the result of further analysis and the incorporation of data that have become available since the publication of the budget. Projected quarterly NIPA estimates for 2012 and 2013 are also presented. These projections will be used by BEA in the development of quarterly NIPA estimates of federal government transactions, including estimates of the federal government component of gross domestic product (GDP). The projections prepared for the budget year also assist data users in making more detailed analyses of the macroeconomic effects of the budget and provide economic forecasters with source data for their models.

A change in wintertime Mediterranean precipitation toward drier conditions has likely occurred over 1902-2010 whose magnitude cannot be reconciled with internal variability alone. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas and aerosol forcing are key attributable factors for this increased drying, though the external signal explains only half of the drying magnitude. Furthermore, sea surface temperature (SST) forcing during 1902-2010 likely played an important role in the observed Mediterranean drying, and the externally forced drying signal likely also occurs through an SST change signal. The observed wintertime Mediterranean drying over the last century can be understood in a simple framework of the region's sensitivity to a uniform global ocean warming and to modest changes in the ocean's zonal and meridional SST gradients. Climate models subjected to a uniform +0.5 degree C warming of the world oceans induce eastern Mediterranean drying but fail to generate the observed widespread Mediterranean drying pattern. For a +0.5 degree C SST warming confined to tropical latitudes only, a dry signal spanning the entire Mediterranean region occurs. The simulated Mediterranean drying intensifies further when the Indian Ocean is warmed +0.5 degree C more than the remaining tropical oceans, an enhanced drying signal attributable to a distinctive atmospheric circulation response resembling the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The extent to which these mechanisms and the region's overall drying since 1902 reflect similar mechanisms operating in association with external radiative forcing are discussed.

Part I: Observations AN - 1017957729; 16574614 AB - The ocean mixed layer response to a tropical cyclone within and immediately adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current is examined. In the first of a two-part study, a comprehensive set of temperature, salinity, and current profiles acquired from aircraft-deployed expendable probes is utilized to analyze the three-dimensional oceanic energy evolution in response to Hurricane Lili's (2002) passage. Mixed layer temperature analyses show that the Loop Current cooled <1 degree C in response to the storm, in contrast to typically observed larger decreases of 3 degree -5 degree C. Correspondingly, vertical current shear associated with mixed layer currents, which is responsible for entrainment mixing of cooler water, was found to be up to 50% weaker, on average, than observed in previous studies within the directly forced region. The Loop Current, which separates the warmer, lighter Caribbean Subtropical Water from the cooler, heavier Gulf Common Water, was found to decrease in intensity by -0.18 +/- 0.25 m s super(-1) over an approximately 10-day period within the mixed layer. Contrary to previous ocean response studies, which have assumed approximately horizontally homogeneous ocean structure prior to storm passage, a kinetic energy loss of 5.8 +/- 6.4 kJ m super(-2), or approximately -1 wind stress-scaled energy unit, was observed. By examining near-surface currents derived from satellite altimetry data, the Loop Current is found to vary similarly in magnitude over such time scales, suggesting storm-generated energy is rapidly removed by the preexisting Loop Current. In a future study, the simulated mixed layer evolution to a Hurricane Lili-like storm within an idealized preexisting baroclinic current is analyzed to help understand the complex air-sea interaction and resulting energetic response.

Understanding and predicting changes in the ocean carbon sink are critical to assessments of future climate change. Surface water CO (sub 2) measurements suggest large year-to-year variations in oceanic CO (sub 2) uptake for several regions [Doney et al., 2009]. However, there is much debate on whether these changes are cyclical or indicative of long-term trends. Sustained, globally coordinated observations of the surface ocean carbon cycle and systematic handling of such data are essential for assessing variation and trends in regional and global ocean carbon uptake, information necessary for accurate estimates of global and national carbon budgets.

The results suggest a relatively warm period during the earlier part of the record ( approximately 1200-1500 CE) followed by a cooler Little Ice Age ( approximately 1500-1900) and a subsequent warming to modern conditions. The reconstructed modern summer mean temperature is in good agreement with observations, and the decades of the 1930s to 1950s appear to be the warmest such period in the proxy record (through 1974). Analyses of circulation features associated with the warmest summers in the recent climate record suggest a prevalence of continental ridging accompanied by generally dry conditions during these warm summers in the Midwest. Drought reconstruction using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and tree-ring records as predictors also yield relatively dry conditions in medieval times for the central US. As reported in a number of recent studies, possible forcing mechanisms include La Nina-like conditions in the equatorial Pacific and warmer than average waters in the tropical Indo-western Pacific Ocean possibly coupled to a positive mode of the AMO/NAO North Atlantic circulation pattern.

We collected data on Antarctic fur seals from 1987/1988 to 1994/1995 at Seal Island, Antarctica. The BHM allowed us to link together predators and prey into a model that uses all the data efficiently and accounts for major sources of uncertainty. Based on the literature, we made hypotheses about the relationships in the model, which we compared with the model outcome after fitting the BHM. For each BHM parameter, we calculated the mean of the posterior density and the 95% credible interval. Our model confirmed others' findings that increased sea ice was related to increased krill density. Higher krill density led to reduced dive intensity of maternal fur seals, as measured by dive depth and duration, and to less time spent foraging by maternal fur seals. Heavier maternal fur seals and lower maternal foraging effort resulted in heavier pups at 22 d. No relationship was found between krill density and maternal mass, or between maternal mass and foraging effort on pup growth rates between 22 and 85 days of age. Maternal mass may have reflected environmental conditions prior to the pup provisioning season, rather than summer prey densities. Maternal mass and foraging effort were not related to pup growth rates between 22 and 85 d, possibly indicating that food was not limiting, food sources other than krill were being used, or differences occurred before pups reached age 22 d.

It remains unclear how ancient periods of climate change have shaped Antarctic biodiversity. The origin of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) in Antarctic notothenioid fi shes has become a classic example of how the evolution of a key innovation in response to climate change can drive adaptive radiation. By using a time-calibrated molecular phylogeny of notothenioids and reconstructed paleoclimate, we demonstrate that the origin of AFGP occurred between 42 and 22 Ma, which includes a period of global cooling approximately 35 Ma. However, the most species-rich lineages diversified and evolved significant ecological differences at least 10 million years after the origin of AFGPs, during a second cooling event in the Late Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma). This pattern indicates that AFGP was not the sole trigger of the notothenioid adaptive radiation. Instead, the bulk of the species richness and ecological diversity originated during the Late Miocene and into the Early Pliocene, a time coincident with the origin of polar conditions and increased ice activity in the Southern Ocean. Our results challenge the current understanding of the evolution of Antarctic notothenioids suggesting that the ecological opportunity that underlies this adaptive radiation is not linked to a single trait, but rather to a combination of freeze avoidance offered by AFGPs and subsequent exploitation of new habitats and open niches created by increased glacial and ice sheet activity.

AN - 916695693; 22244169 AB - We previously reported a solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for determination of the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA) in both seawater and phytoplankton by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with the purpose of sample desalting without DA pre-concentration. In the present study, we optimized the SPE procedure with seawater and phytoplankton samples directly acidified with aqueous formic acid without addition of organic solvents, which allowed sample desalting and also 20-fold pre-concentration of DA in seawater and phytoplankton samples. In order to reduce MS contamination, a diverter valve was installed between LC and MS to send the LC eluant to waste, except for the 6-min elution window bracketing the DA retention time, which was sent to the MS. Reduction of the MS turbo gas temperature also helped to maintain the long-term stability of MS signal. Recoveries exceeded 90% for the DA-negative seawater and the DA-positive cultured phytoplankton samples spiked with DA. The SPE method for DA extraction and sample clean-up in seawater was extended to mammalian fluids and tissues with modification in order to accommodate the fluid samples with limited available volumes and the tissue extracts in aqueous methanol. Recoveries of DA from DA-exposed laboratory mammalian samples (amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, placenta, and brain) were above 85%. Recoveries of DA from samples (urine, feces, intestinal contents, and gastric contents) collected from field stranded marine mammals showed large variations and were affected by the sample status. The optimized SPE-LC-MS method allows determination of DA at trace levels (low pg mL(-1)) in seawater with/without the presence of phytoplankton. The application of SPE clean-up to mammalian fluids and tissue extracts greatly reduced the LC column degradation and MS contamination, which allowed routine screening of marine mammalian samples for confirmation of DA exposure and determination of fluid and tissue DA concentrations in experimental laboratory animals.

[Part 11 of 15] T2 - AMENDMENT 18A TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SNAPPER GROUPER FISHERY OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AN - 1020046600; 15230-2_0011 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment 18A to the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone is proposed to limit participation and effort in the black sea bass fishery. Recent amendments to the Snapper Grouper FMP have imposed more restrictive harvest limitations on fishermen and a greater number of fishermen may be targeting black sea bass. A combination of a rebuilding stock and effort shifts into the fishery for black sea bass have caused the commercial quota to be met earlier and earlier each fishing season. To prevent accountability measures (AMs) from being triggered early each fishing season, and associated negative social and economic impacts, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council has determined action should be taken to reduce participation and effort in the black sea bass pot component of the snapper-grouper fishery and to adjust the current system of accountability in the recreational sector. Proposed measures in Amendment 18A would: modify the rebuilding strategy, acceptable biological catch, annual catch limit, and annual catch target for black sea bass; establish an endorsement program whereby a vessel with an unlimited snapper-grouper permit may harvest black sea bass using pot gear only if the vessel also has a black sea bass pot endorsement; establish an appeals process for fishermen excluded from the endorsement program; allow transferability of endorsements; implement measures to reduce black sea bass bycatch; modify AMs for black sea bass; establish a spawning season closure for black sea bass; establish a commercial trip limit for black sea bass; modify the current commercial and/or recreational size limits; and improve data reporting in the commercial and for-hire sectors of the snapper grouper fishery. Preferred alternatives would: define a rebuilding strategy for black sea bass that maintains a constant fishing mortality rate throughout the remaining years of the rebuilding timeframe; limit endorsement to entities with a valid unlimited snapper-grouper permit whose average annual landings over a 12-year period using black sea bass pot gear were at least 2,500 pounds; establish a 90-day period to accept appeals to the endorsement program; require that each black sea bass pot have an attached valid identification tag; limit the black sea bass pot tags to 35 per vessel each permit year; require that black sea bass pots be brought back to shore at the conclusion of each trip; increase the recreational size limit from 12 inches to 13 inches total length and the commercial size limit from 10 inches to 11 inches total length; establish a 1,000 pounds gross weight commercial trip limit; and provide the option for fishermen to submit their logbook entries electronically. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed amendment would address issues which have resulted in a race to fish in the South Atlantic region. Measures to limit participation in the black sea bass component of the snapper grouper fishery and slow the rate of harvest would prevent the progressive shortening of the commercial and recreational fishing seasons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fishermen who do not qualify to receive a black sea bass pot endorsement would be limited to black sea bass using hook-and-line gear only and would incur a reduction in net revenue. Profits may also be lost as a result of the implementation of a commercial trip limit, a reduced bag limit, and increased size limits due to likely decreases in per-trip yield. The requirement to return black sea bass pots to shore may force vessels to stay longer at sea. A significant amount of administrative time and resources would be spent on developing the endorsement, processing initial endorsement issuances, and maintaining the program throughout its duration.

A combination of a rebuilding stock and effort shifts into the fishery for black sea bass have caused the commercial quota to be met earlier and earlier each fishing season. To prevent accountability measures (AMs) from being triggered early each fishing season, and associated negative social and economic impacts, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council has determined action should be taken to reduce participation and effort in the black sea bass pot component of the snapper-grouper fishery and to adjust the current system of accountability in the recreational sector. Proposed measures in Amendment 18A would: modify the rebuilding strategy, acceptable biological catch, annual catch limit, and annual catch target for black sea bass; establish an endorsement program whereby a vessel with an unlimited snapper-grouper permit may harvest black sea bass using pot gear only if the vessel also has a black sea bass pot endorsement; establish an appeals process for fishermen excluded from the endorsement program; allow transferability of endorsements; implement measures to reduce black sea bass bycatch; modify AMs for black sea bass; establish a spawning season closure for black sea bass; establish a commercial trip limit for black sea bass; modify the current commercial and/or recreational size limits; and improve data reporting in the commercial and for-hire sectors of the snapper grouper fishery. Preferred alternatives would: define a rebuilding strategy for black sea bass that maintains a constant fishing mortality rate throughout the remaining years of the rebuilding timeframe; limit endorsement to entities with a valid unlimited snapper-grouper permit whose average annual landings over a 12-year period using black sea bass pot gear were at least 2,500 pounds; establish a 90-day period to accept appeals to the endorsement program; require that each black sea bass pot have an attached valid identification tag; limit the black sea bass pot tags to 35 per vessel each permit year; require that black sea bass pots be brought back to shore at the conclusion of each trip; increase the recreational size limit from 12 inches to 13 inches total length and the commercial size limit from 10 inches to 11 inches total length; establish a 1,000 pounds gross weight commercial trip limit; and provide the option for fishermen to submit their logbook entries electronically. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed amendment would address issues which have resulted in a race to fish in the South Atlantic region. Measures to limit participation in the black sea bass component of the snapper grouper fishery and slow the rate of harvest would prevent the progressive shortening of the commercial and recreational fishing seasons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fishermen who do not qualify to receive a black sea bass pot endorsement would be limited to black sea bass using hook-and-line gear only and would incur a reduction in net revenue. Profits may also be lost as a result of the implementation of a commercial trip limit, a reduced bag limit, and increased size limits due to likely decreases in per-trip yield. The requirement to return black sea bass pots to shore may force vessels to stay longer at sea. A significant amount of administrative time and resources would be spent on developing the endorsement, processing initial endorsement issuances, and maintaining the program throughout its duration.

[Part 1 of 15] T2 - AMENDMENT 18A TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SNAPPER GROUPER FISHERY OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AN - 1020046529; 15230-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment 18A to the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone is proposed to limit participation and effort in the black sea bass fishery. Recent amendments to the Snapper Grouper FMP have imposed more restrictive harvest limitations on fishermen and a greater number of fishermen may be targeting black sea bass. A combination of a rebuilding stock and effort shifts into the fishery for black sea bass have caused the commercial quota to be met earlier and earlier each fishing season. To prevent accountability measures (AMs) from being triggered early each fishing season, and associated negative social and economic impacts, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council has determined action should be taken to reduce participation and effort in the black sea bass pot component of the snapper-grouper fishery and to adjust the current system of accountability in the recreational sector. Proposed measures in Amendment 18A would: modify the rebuilding strategy, acceptable biological catch, annual catch limit, and annual catch target for black sea bass; establish an endorsement program whereby a vessel with an unlimited snapper-grouper permit may harvest black sea bass using pot gear only if the vessel also has a black sea bass pot endorsement; establish an appeals process for fishermen excluded from the endorsement program; allow transferability of endorsements; implement measures to reduce black sea bass bycatch; modify AMs for black sea bass; establish a spawning season closure for black sea bass; establish a commercial trip limit for black sea bass; modify the current commercial and/or recreational size limits; and improve data reporting in the commercial and for-hire sectors of the snapper grouper fishery. Preferred alternatives would: define a rebuilding strategy for black sea bass that maintains a constant fishing mortality rate throughout the remaining years of the rebuilding timeframe; limit endorsement to entities with a valid unlimited snapper-grouper permit whose average annual landings over a 12-year period using black sea bass pot gear were at least 2,500 pounds; establish a 90-day period to accept appeals to the endorsement program; require that each black sea bass pot have an attached valid identification tag; limit the black sea bass pot tags to 35 per vessel each permit year; require that black sea bass pots be brought back to shore at the conclusion of each trip; increase the recreational size limit from 12 inches to 13 inches total length and the commercial size limit from 10 inches to 11 inches total length; establish a 1,000 pounds gross weight commercial trip limit; and provide the option for fishermen to submit their logbook entries electronically. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed amendment would address issues which have resulted in a race to fish in the South Atlantic region. Measures to limit participation in the black sea bass component of the snapper grouper fishery and slow the rate of harvest would prevent the progressive shortening of the commercial and recreational fishing seasons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fishermen who do not qualify to receive a black sea bass pot endorsement would be limited to black sea bass using hook-and-line gear only and would incur a reduction in net revenue. Profits may also be lost as a result of the implementation of a commercial trip limit, a reduced bag limit, and increased size limits due to likely decreases in per-trip yield. The requirement to return black sea bass pots to shore may force vessels to stay longer at sea. A significant amount of administrative time and resources would be spent on developing the endorsement, processing initial endorsement issuances, and maintaining the program throughout its duration.

The expanded uncertainty of the density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity measurements at the 95% confidence level with a coverage factor of k=2 is estimated to be 0.15-0.30%, 0.05%, 0.02K, and 1.5-2.0% (depending on temperature and pressure ranges), respectively. Tait-type equation of state (EOS) for pure MEG, DEG, and TEG has been developed using the measured (p, rho , T) data.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 11 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SPINY LOBSTER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTH ATLANTIC REGIONS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 2011). AN - 1012743966; 15224-6_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to implement reasonable and prudent measures (RPMs) to protect threatened corals in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico is proposed. On August 27, 2009, an Endangered Species Act (ESA) biological opinion was completed that evaluated the impacts of the continued authorization of the trap component of the spiny lobster commercial sector on ESA-listed species. The opinion prescribed non-discretionary reasonable and prudent measures (RPMs) to help minimize the impacts of takes to ESA-listed species by the trap component of the spiny lobster commercial sector. Specific terms and conditions required to implement the prescribed RPMs included creating new or expanding existing closed areas to protect coral and implementing lobster trap line-marking requirements. Actions and alternatives to address these measures were included in Amendment 10 to the Spiny Lobster FMP, but action was deferred to allow more time for stakeholder input. Approximately 90 to 95 percent of commercial spiny lobster is landed in the Florida Keys annually, and the trap fishery has been established in the communities since at least the 1950s. Two actions are being considered in Amendment 11: 1) closing areas to either all spiny lobster fishing or lobster trap fishing to protect threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals; and 2) requiring markings for spiny lobster trap lines to allow identification of trap lines entangling protected species. This draft supplemental EIS considers three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, for each RPM under consideration. For Action 1, Alternative 2 would prohibit spiny lobster trapping (Option a) or all spiny lobster fishing (Option b) on all hardbottom areas in the Florida Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) south of US 1, from Key Biscayne to Key West, that support staghorn and elkhorn corals. The preferred Alternative 3 would establish straight-line boxes around identified staghorn and elkhorn colonies or groups of colonies that encompass approximately 500 feet of buffer; and the preferred option would prohibit spiny lobster trapping in the new closed areas. For Action 2, Alternative 2 would require all spiny lobster trap lines in the EEZ off Florida to have a white marking along its entire length. Alternative 3 would require trap lines to have a white marking at least four-inches wide spaced at least every 15 feet along the trap line, or at the midpoint if the line is less than 15 feet. The preferred alternative for Action 2 is the No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Creating closed areas would reduce the likelihood of commercial spiny lobster traps coming into contact with threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals. The preferred alternative would provide a reasonable buffer around colonies without closing large areas of bottom suitable for lobster trapping. Protection of the corals is expected to contribute to an overall healthy ecosystem and would also contribute to a healthy spiny lobster stock. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Area closures could have negative effects on fishermen through reduced harvests. Under the preferred alternative, commercial landings would be reduced by as much as 18,292 pounds and trip gross revenue would be reduced by as much as $107,780 (0.2 to 0.9 percent of the vessel gross). Alternatives that create new closed areas will increase the administrative burden over the current level due to changes in maps, outreach and education, and greater enforcement needs.

Validation of model-simulated streamflow AN - 1008834154; 16334459 AB - This is the second part of a study on continental-scale water and energy flux analysis and validation conducted in phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System project (NLDAS-2). The first part concentrates on a model-by-model comparison of mean annual and monthly water fluxes, energy fluxes and state variables. In this second part, the focus is on the validation of simulated streamflow from four land surface models (Noah, Mosaic, Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA), and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) models) and their ensemble mean. Comparisons are made against 28-years (1 October 1979-30 September 2007) of United States Geological Survey observed streamflow for 961 small basins and 8 major basins over the conterminous United States (CONUS). Relative bias, anomaly correlation and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) statistics at daily to annual time scales are used to assess model-simulated streamflow. The Noah (the Mosaic) model overestimates (underestimates) mean annual runoff and underestimates (overestimates) mean annual evapotranspiration. The SAC-SMA and VIC models simulate the mean annual runoff and evapotranspiration well when compared with the observations. The ensemble mean is closer to the mean annual observed streamflow for both the 961 small basins and the 8 major basins than is the mean from any individual model. All of the models, as well as the ensemble mean, have large daily, weekly, monthly, and annual streamflow anomaly correlations for most basins over the CONUS, implying strong simulation skill. However, the daily, weekly, and monthly NSE analysis results are not necessarily encouraging, in particular for daily streamflow. The Noah and Mosaic models are useful (NSE > 0.4) only for about 10% of the 961 small basins, the SAC-SMA and VIC models are useful for about 30% of the 961 small basins, and the ensemble mean is useful for about 42% of the 961 small basins. As the time scale increases, the NSE increases as expected. However, even for monthly streamflow, the ensemble mean is useful for only 75% of the 961 small basins.

Intercomparison and application of model products AN - 1008834135; 16334458 AB - Results are presented from the second phase of the multiinstitution North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) research partnership. In NLDAS, the Noah, Variable Infiltration Capacity, Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting, and Mosaic land surface models (LSMs) are executed over the conterminous U.S. (CONUS) in realtime and retrospective modes. These runs support the drought analysis, monitoring and forecasting activities of the National Integrated Drought Information System, as well as efforts to monitor large-scale floods. NLDAS-2 builds upon the framework of the first phase of NLDAS (NLDAS-1) by increasing the accuracy and consistency of the surface forcing data, upgrading the land surface model code and parameters, and extending the study from a 3-year (1997-1999) to a 30-year (1979-2008) time window. As the first of two parts, this paper details the configuration of NLDAS-2, describes the upgrades to the forcing, parameters, and code of the four LSMs, and explores overall model-to-model comparisons of land surface water and energy flux and state variables over the CONUS. Focusing on model output rather than on observations, this study seeks to highlight the similarities and differences between models, and to assess changes in output from that seen in NLDAS-1. The second part of the two-part article focuses on the validation of model-simulated streamflow and evaporation against observations. The results depict a higher level of agreement among the four models over much of the CONUS than was found in the first phase of NLDAS. This is due, in part, to recent improvements in the parameters, code, and forcing of the NLDAS-2 LSMs that were initiated following NLDAS-1. However, large inter-model differences still exist in the northeast, Lake Superior, and western mountainous regions of the CONUS, which are associated with cold season processes. In addition, variations in the representation of sub-surface hydrology in the four LSMs lead to large differences in modeled evaporation and subsurface runoff. These issues are important targets for future research by the land surface modeling community. Finally, improvement from NLDAS-1 to NLDAS-2 is summarized by comparing the streamflow measured from U.S. Geological Survey stream gauges with that simulated by four NLDAS models over 961 small basins.

It is envisioned that results from this study will be used 1) to establish benchmark performance of existing operational flash-flood prediction tools and 2) to provide information to NWS forecasters that reveals how the existing tools can be readily optimized. Sources used to evaluate the products include official reports of flash floods from the NWS Storm Data database, discharge measurements on small basins available from the U.S. Geological Survey, and witness reports of flash flooding collected during the Severe Hazards Analysis and Verification Experiment. Results indicated that the operational guidance values, with no calibration, were marginally skillful, with the highest critical success index of 0.20 occurring with 3-h GFFG. The false-alarm rates fell and the skill improved to 0.34 when the rainfall was first spatially averaged within basins and then reached 50% of FFG for 1-h accumulation and exceeded 3-h FFG. Although the skill of the GFFG values was generally lower than that of their FFG counterparts, GFFG was capable of detecting the spatial variability of reported flash flooding better than FFG was for a case study in an urban setting.

However, following a record high level of water behind the dam in January 2009 and the discovery of elevated seepage through the dam's abutment, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers declared the dam "unsafe." NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and National Weather Service (NWS) worked together to respond rapidly to this crisis for the 2009/10 winter season, drawing from innovations developed in NWS offices and in NOAA's Hydrometeorology Test-bed (HMT). New data telemetry was added to 14 existing surface rain gauges, allowing the gauge data to be ingested into the NWS rainfall database. The NWS Seattle Weather Forecast Office produced customized daily forecasts, including longer-lead-time hydrologic outlooks and new decision support services tailored for emergency managers and the public, new capabilities enabled by specialized products from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and from HMT. The NOAA Physical Sciences Division (PSD) deployed a group of specialized instruments on the Washington coast and near the HHD that constituted two atmospheric river (AR) observatories (AROs) and conducted special HMT numerical model forecast runs. Atmospheric rivers are narrow corridors of enhanced water vapor transport in extratropical oceanic storms that can produce heavy orographic precipitation and anomalously high snow levels, and thus can trigger flooding. The AROs gave forecasters detailed vertical profile observations of AR conditions aloft, including monitoring of real-time water vapor transport and comparison with model runs.

Analyses show that over the central United States, a statistically significant redistribution in the spectra of intense precipitation days/events during the past decades has occurred. Moderately heavy precipitation events (within a 12.7-25.4 mm day super(-1) range) became less frequent compared to days and events with precipitation totals above 25.4 mm. During the past 31 yr (compared to the 1948-78 period), significant increases occurred in the frequency of "very heavy" (the daily rain events above 76.2 mm) and extreme precipitation events (defined as daily and multiday rain events with totals above 154.9 mm or 6 in.), with up to 40% increases in the frequency of days and multiday extreme rain events. Tropical cyclones associated with extreme precipitation do not significantly contribute to the changes reported in this study. With time, the internal precipitation structure (e.g., mean and maximum hourly precipitation rates within each preselected range of daily or multiday event totals) did not noticeably change. Several possible causes of observed changes in intense precipitation over the central United States are discussed and/or tested.

Storms having high hydrological impact often result from landfalls of "atmospheric rivers" ("ARs"), which are the narrow elongated regions of water vapor transport from the tropics. CloudSat measurements are used for retrievals of rain rate R and cloud ice water path (IWP) along the satellite ground track over ocean and land. These retrievals present quasi-instantaneous vertical cross sections of precipitating systems with high-resolution information about hydrometeors. This information is valuable in coastal areas with complex terrain where observations with existing instrumentation, including ground-based radars, are limited. CloudSat reflectivity enhancements [i.e., bright band (BB)] present a way to estimate freezing levels, indicating transitions between rainfall and snowfall. CloudSat estimates of these levels were validated using data from radiosonde soundings and compared to model and microwave sounder data. Comparisons of CloudSat retrievals of rain rates with estimates from ground-based radars in the areas where measurements from these radars were available indicated an agreement within retrieval uncertainties, which were around 50%. The utility of CloudSat was illustrated for case studies of pronounced AR events at landfall and over ocean. Initial analysis of CloudSat crossings of ARs during the 2006/07 season were used for rainfall regime prevalence assessment. It indicated that stratiform rain, which often had BB features, warm rain, and mixed rain were observed with about 26%, 24%, and 50% frequency. Stratiform regions generally had higher rain rates. Significant correlation (~0.72) between mean values of IWP and rain rate was observed for stratiform rainfall.

Population Characteristics. Current Population Reports. P20-566 AN - 968113004; ED529755 AB - This report provides a portrait of educational attainment in the United States based on data collected in the 2009 American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2005-2009 ACS 5-year estimates. It also uses data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) to the Current Population Survey (CPS) collected in 2009 and earlier, as well as monthly data from the CPS. Prior to 2007, U.S. Census Bureau reports on educational attainment were based on data primarily from the CPS. The ACS is now used as the main source of educational attainment data because it has a larger sample and provides more reliable statistics for small levels of geography. The report also provides estimates of educational attainment in the United States, including comparisons by demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Information about educational attainment among the native-born and foreign-born populations is included. This report also presents a geographic picture of educational attainment with estimates by region and state. Workers' median earnings by educational attainment are also addressed, including differences by sex, race, and Hispanic origin, as well as unemployment rates by educational attainment. Historical data are included to present some general trends over time. Highlights of this report include: (1) In 2009, more than 4 out of 5 (85 percent) adults aged 25 and over reported having at least a high school diploma or its equivalent, while over 1 in 4 (28 percent) reported a bachelor's degree or higher. This reflects more than a three-fold increase in high school attainment and more than a five-fold increase in college attainment since the Census Bureau first collected educational attainment data in 1940; (2) A larger proportion of women than men had completed high school or more education. A larger proportion of men had received at least a bachelor's degree. However, because women 25 years old and over outnumber men aged 25 and over, the number of women with bachelor's degrees is larger than the number of men with these degrees. Among people aged 25 to 34, the percentage of women with a bachelor's degree or higher was 35 percent compared with 27 percent of men; (3) Differences in educational attainment by race and Hispanic origin existed. Attainment for non-Hispanic Whites and Asians was higher than attainment for Blacks and Hispanics; (4) Educational attainment varied by nativity. About 89 percent of the native-born population had completed at least high school, compared with 68 percent of the foreign-born population. More native-born than foreign-born adults reported completing at least a bachelor's degree (28 percent and 27 percent, respectively); (5) Educational attainment of foreign-born Hispanics was lower than all other groups. The percentage of foreign-born Hispanics who had completed at least high school was 48 percent; (6) The Midwest had the highest percentage of adults reporting that they completed high school or more education, and the Northeast had the highest percentage with a bachelor's degree or more education; (7) Among all workers, those with a bachelor's degree on average earned about $20,000 more per year than workers with a high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED) certificate. Non-Hispanic Whites earned more than other race groups and more than Hispanics at the high school level, while earnings at the bachelor's and advanced degree level were highest for Asians. Black and Hispanic workers earned less at nearly all attainment levels; and (8) Men earned more than women at each level of educational attainment. (Contains 5 figures, 3 tables and 27 footnotes.)

American Community Survey Reports. ACS-18 AN - 968107990; ED529757 AB - This report provides information on fields of bachelor's degrees in the United States using data from the 2009 American Community Survey (ACS). It includes estimates of fields of bachelor's degree by demographic characteristics including age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, nativity, and educational attainment. This report also looks at geographic and earnings differences across fields of degree. The ACS provided data on field of bachelor's degree for the first time in 2009. Respondents who held a bachelor's degree or above were asked to write in the specific field(s) of any bachelor's degrees earned (Figure 1). The U.S. Census Bureau coded these responses into 188 majors. These 188 majors were then collapsed into two overlapping sets of fields: one broad set containing five distinct fields and one detailed set with fifteen distinct fields. The broad set of fields includes: science and engineering; science- and engineering-related; business; education; and arts, humanities, and other. The detailed set of fields retains three of the five broad sets of fields: science- and engineering-related, business, and education. The detailed set of fields also breaks down the two broad fields of science and engineering and arts, humanities, and other into smaller fields. The organization of the detailed fields of degree relative to the broad fields of degree can be seen in the chart titled "Organization of Field of Degree Groups." This chart also includes examples of common majors within these fields. A full list of the 188 individual majors and their grouping into fields can be found in Appendix A. Highlights of the report include: (1) Of the 56 million people aged 25 and over with a bachelor's degree, nearly 20 million of them held a degree in a science and engineering field; (2) Men held 87 percent of the degrees in engineering fields, while women held 76 percent of the degrees in education fields; (3) Sex distribution within fields varied by age. Fields with large proportions of men in the 65 years and over age group had smaller proportions of men in the 25 to 39 years age group; (4) Science and engineering was the most popular field of degree for each race and Hispanic origin group. Education fields were the least common among Asian college graduates, while science- and engineering-related fields were the least common among all other race and Hispanic origin groups. The foreign-born population was much more likely to have a degree in a broad science and engineering field or in a science- and engineering-related field than the native-born population; (5) The proportion of bachelor's degrees in a given field varied by geography. The proportion of science and engineering degrees was highest in coastal states, while science- and engineering-related degrees had the largest proportions in the South and Midwest. The highest proportions of degrees in business were in the South, while education degrees were the most common in the Midwest. People in the New England states had the highest proportion of degrees in the arts, humanities, and other fields; (6) People with an undergraduate degree in a physical and related sciences field were the most likely to hold an advanced degree. People with an undergraduate degree in a communications field were the least likely to do so; and (7) Degrees in the field of science and engineering were associated with the highest median earnings; degrees in an education field were associated with the lowest median earnings. Appended are: (1) Grouping of Majors Into Broad and Detailed Fields; and (2) Percent of Bachelor's Degrees in Each Detailed Field of Degree, by State: 2009.

SEHSD Working Paper Number 2012-3 AN - 968107624; ED529756 AB - The Census Bureau has historically grouped high school diploma holders along with those who hold "high school equivalent" credentials. Among these is the credential earned through successfully passing the General Education Development (GED) test. Interest in identifying those with GEDs has recently increased, in part from debate within the academic and federal statistical communities about the inclusion of high school equivalency degrees in the calculations of high school graduation, and because of the increasing concern that equivalency degrees are not truly equivalent in terms of labor market value and as a basis for future educational attainment (Heckman and LaFontaine, 2010; Murnane, Willett, and Tyler, 2000; Clark and Jaeger, 2006; Michel and Roy, 2006; Boesel, Alsalam, and Smith, 1998; Cameron and Heckman, 1993). This paper outlines the ways that the Census Bureau captures persons with alternative high school credentials, provides estimates of prevalence based on these different methods, compares these estimates to administrative records, and reviews the Census Bureau studies on the relative reliability of survey items on high school credentials.

Four popular algorithms are evaluated based on their cell segmentation performance. Because segmentation involves the classification of pixels belonging to regions within the cell or belonging to background, these algorithms are evaluated based on their total misclassification error. Misclassification error is particularly relevant in the analysis of quantitative descriptors of cell morphology involving pixel counts, such as projected area, aspect ratio and diameter. Since the cumulative distribution function captures completely the stochastic properties of a population of misclassification errors it is used to compare segmentation performance.

The development of offshore wind energy requires accurate information on wind speeds above the surface at least at the levels occupied by turbine blades. Few measured data are available at these heights, and the temporal and spatial behavior of near-surface winds is often unrepresentative of that at the required heights. As a consequence, numerical model data, another potential source of information, are essentially unverified at these levels of the atmosphere. In this paper, a motion-compensated, high-resolution Doppler lidar-based wind measurement system that is capable of providing needed information on offshore winds at several heights is described. The system has been evaluated and verified in several ways. A sampling of data from the 2004 New England Air Quality Study shows the kind of analyses and information available. Examples include time-height cross sections, time series, profiles, and distributions of quantities such as winds and shear. These analyses show that there is strong spatial and temporal variability associated with the wind field in the marine boundary layer. Winds near the coast show diurnal variations, and frequent occurrences of low-level jets are evident, especially during nocturnal periods. Persistent patterns of spatial variability in the flow field that are due to coastal irregularities should be of particular concern for wind-energy planning, because they affect the representativeness of fixed-location measurements and imply that some areas would be favored for wind-energy production whereas others would not.

Several prey-capture (attack distance, mean attack velocity, capture time, and gape cycle duration) and anti-predator (reaction distance, response distance, mean velocity, and maximum velocity) performance variables were quantified using high-speed video for juvenile red drum (25-30 mm standard length, L sub(S)) reared with and without predators (pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides). Univariate contrasts of prey-capture events demonstrated that attack distance (mean plus or minus s.e.) was significantly greater in red drum reared with (1.20 plus or minus 0.16 mm) versus without (0.65 plus or minus 0.09 mm) pinfish predators. During anti-predator events, red drum reared with predators had approximately 300% greater reaction distance and 20%-30% greater response distance, mean velocity and maximum velocity versus fish reared without predators; however, these differences were not statistically significant. Following video assessments, a series of mortality experiments were conducted using free-ranging pinfish predators. Mortality rates (Z) ranged from 0.047 to 0.060 (Z/hr/predator) and did not differ significantly among treatments.

In this study, we monitored PAH exposure in outmigrant juvenile Chinook salmon from the Lower Columbia River to evaluate the risk that these contaminants might pose to the health and recovery of threatened and endangered salmonids. Juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were collected by beach seine from five sites in the Lower Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to the mouth of the estuary (Warrendale, the Willamette-Columbia Confluence, Columbia City, Beaver Army Terminal, and Point Adams) and from a site in the Lower Willamette near downtown Portland (Morrison Street Bridge). Sediment samples were also collected at the same sites. Concentrations of PAHs in sediment samples were relatively low at all sites with average total PAH concentrations 10,000 ng/g wet wt. Metabolites of low and high molecular-weight PAHs were also detected in bile of salmon from all sites; for metabolites fluorescing at phenanthrene (PHN) wavelengths, concentrations ranged from 1.1 to 6.0 mu g/mg bile protein. Levels of PAHs in stomach contents and PAH metabolites in bile were highest in salmon from the Morrison Street Bridge site in Portland and the Willamette-Columbia Confluence, Columbia City, and Beaver Army Terminal sites. Mean PAH concentrations measured in some stomach content samples from the Columbia City, Beaver Army Terminal, and Morrison Street Bridge sites were near the threshold concentration (approximately 7200-7600 ng/g wet wt.) associated with variability and immune dysfunction in juvenile salmonids (Meador et al., Can J Fish Aquat Sci 63:2364-2376, 2006; Bravo et al., Environ Toxicol Chem 30:704-714, 2011). Mean levels of biliary fluorescent aromatic compounds (FACs)-PHN in juvenile Chinook collected at the Morrison Street Bridge site in Portland, at the Confluence and Columbia City sites, and at the Beaver Army Terminal site were at or above a threshold effect concentration of 2 mu g/mg protein for FACs-PHN linked to growth impairment, altered energetics, and reproductive effects (Meador et al., Environ Toxicol Chem 27(4):845-853, 2008). These findings suggest that PAHs in the food chain are a potential source of injury to juvenile salmon in the Lower Columbia and Lower Willamette rivers.

On the synoptic scale, heavy rainfall was supported by a persistent corridor of strong water vapor transport rooted in the tropics that was manifested as an atmospheric river (AR). This AR developed as water vapor was extracted from the eastern tropical Pacific and the Caribbean Sea and transported into the central Mississippi Valley by a strong southerly low-level jet (LLJ) positioned between a stationary lee trough along the eastern Mexico coast and a broad, stationary subtropical ridge positioned over the southeastern United States and the subtropical Atlantic. The AR, associated with substantial water vapor content and moderate convective available potential energy, supported the successive development of two quasi-stationary mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) on 1 and 2 May, respectively. These MCSs were both linearly organized and exhibited back-building and echo-training, processes that afforded the repeated movement of convective cells over the same area of western and central Tennessee and Kentucky, resulting in a narrow band of rainfall totals of 200-400 mm. Mesoscale analyses reveal that the MCSs developed on the warm side of a slow-moving cold front and that the interaction between the southerly LLJ and convectively generated outflow boundaries was fundamental for generating convection.

This reassessment of the main archive for tropical cyclones of the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico was necessary to correct systematic biases and random errors in the data as well as to search for previously unrecognized systems. The methodology for the reanalysis process for revising the track and intensity of tropical cyclone data has been detailed in a previous paper on the reanalysis. The 1921-30 dataset now includes several new tropical cyclones, excludes one system previously considered a tropical storm, makes generally large alterations in the intensity estimates of most tropical cyclones (both toward stronger and weaker intensities), and typically adjusts existing tracks with minor corrections. Average uncertainty in intensity and track values is estimated for both open-ocean conditions as well as landfalling systems. Highlights are given for changes to the more significant hurricanes to impact the United States, Central America, and the Caribbean for this decade.

This hypothesis was tested for Gulf of Maine (GOM) stocks by examining wind pseudostress and the distribution of piscivorous predator fields potentially affecting post-smolts. Marine survival has declined over recent decades with a change in the direction of spring winds, which is likely extending the migration of post-smolts by favouring routes using the western GOM. In addition to changes in spring wind patterns, higher spring sea surface temperatures have been associated with shifting distributions of a range of fish species. The abundance of several pelagic piscivores, which based on their feeding habits may predate on salmon post-smolts, has increased in the areas that serve as migration corridors for post-smolts. In particular, populations of silver hake, Merluccius bilinearis (Mitchell), red hake, Urophycis chuss (Walbaum), and spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias L., increased in size in the portion of the GOM used by post-smolts. Climate variation and shifting predator distributions in the GOM are consistent with the predator hypothesis of recruitment control suggested for the stock complex.

During the last two decades annual U.S. hake catches have averaged approximately 300,000 tonnes with the dominant share coming from the coastal Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) stock. Pacific hake occurs over the continental shelf with a number of localized sub populations found in coastal inland waters of Washington State and the Province of British Columbia. In the northwest Atlantic two sympatric species occur, the commercially sought coastal silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) and the offshore hake (Merluccius albidus), which is generally distributed in deeper waters. As with many of the 12 world-wide species of hakes in the genus Merluccius, the U.S. hake species share common attributes in their biology, ecology and population dynamics which may be dictated by the production cycles and circulation patterns characteristic of northerly ecosystems. For instance, both species exhibit a migration pattern centered on spawning in one region followed by feeding in another, both are fast swimming ambush predators that take advantage of high euphausid production as young but transition to a piscivorous diet with age, and both are known to exhibit highly variable, density-dependent related life history characteristics as population regulatory mechanisms. However, these species can be contrasted in many different ways related to specific adaptations within the unique ecosystems in which they live, the diverse and changing fisheries targeting them, and the complexity of stock assessment tools and management structures that have emerged in an attempt to provide a sound scientific basis for setting catch limits. This paper takes a retrospective and contemporary look at these two species, comparing and contrasting our current state of knowledge, highlighting uncertainties and identifying the complex challenges facing assessment and management.

From an ecological perspective, studying cannibalism in the northwest Atlantic fish community usually results in examining silver hake Merluccius bilinearis population dynamics. From a population dynamics (and hence fisheries assessment) perspective, silver hake pose some unique challenges and have defied easy, standardized approaches for evaluation of stock dynamics. Thus, here we propose to examine one facet of silver hake dynamics in light of their known cannibalistic propensity. We show for the two U.S. northwest Atlantic stocks that the percent diet composition of silver hake in silver hake is quite high and has been quite consistent over time. We also explore the size composition of cannibalized individuals as well, noting that the 0-10cm grouping is largely cannibalized by the 20-40cm group, which is itself cannibalized by 40-60cm group. From this, we fit stock-recruitment models (both Ricker and Beverton-Holt) that were typical and excluded cannibalism, that included cannibalism as an additional factor, and that changed the definition of the spawning stock biomass (SSB) from 20+ to those fish that are >40cm. This latter shift resulted from the observed offset of recruitment production versus copious cannibalism as seen in the middle size group. Our results show that either the inclusion of cannibalism directly, or accounting for cannibalism indirectly by using a larger cutoff for the definition of SSB, are better model fits for both stocks than ignoring cannibalism for this species. We discuss the broader implications of including cannibalism for this species, for other cannibalistic species, for changes in how we consider recruitment-particularly those species managed with recruitment-based reference points- and for how these might alter perceptions of stock dynamics.

This paper provides a general synopsis of the data acquired during the National Marine Fisheries Service bottom trawl surveys between 1963 and 2008 for offshore hake in the northeast United States and is limited to those fish found in the northwestern Atlantic. Offshore hake are commonly distributed from southern Georges Bank through the Mid-Atlantic Bight, at depths of 160-550m and temperatures ranging between 11 and 13 degree C. They are known to co-occur with silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) on the outer continental slopes of the Atlantic Ocean and are easily confused with silver hake because of their strong morphological resemblance. Spawning generally occurs between April and July. Maximum observed size was approximately 43cm for males and 56cm for females, and fish greater than 40cm consist mainly of females, suggesting that they are sexually dimorphic. Length at 50% maturity (L50) also differed significantly between sexes with females maturing at larger sizes (28cm) relative to males (23cm). This basic life history information is critical to conserving the offshore hake population and managing sustainable fisheries.

We first produce a monthly climatology for each site over all available years, defined as the slope of the best-fit line (mO3-T) between monthly average values of maximum daily 8-hour average (MDA8) O3 and monthly average values of daily maximum surface temperature (Tmax). Applying two distinct statistical approaches to aggregate the site-specific measurements to the regional scale, we find that summer time mO3-T is 3-6ppbK-1 (r=0.5-0.8) over the Northeast, 3-4ppbK-1 (r=0.5-0.9) over the Great Lakes, and 3-6ppbK-1 (r=0.2-0.8) over the Mid-Atlantic. The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Atmospheric Model version 3 (AM3) global chemistry-climate model generally captures the seasonal variations in correlation coefficients and mO3-T despite biases in both monthly mean summertime MDA8 O3 (up to +10 to +30ppb) and daily Tmax (up to +5K) over the eastern US. During summer, GFDL AM3 reproduces mO3-T over the Northeast (mO3-T=2-6ppbK-1; r=0.6-0.9), but underestimates mO3-T by 4ppbK-1 over the Mid-Atlantic, in part due to excessively warm temperatures above which O3 production saturates in the model. Combining Tmax biases in GFDL AM3 with an observation-based mO3-T estimate of 3ppbK-1implies that temperature biases could explain up to 5-15ppb of the MDA8 O3 bias in August and September though correcting for excessively cool temperatures would worsen the O3 bias in June. We underscore the need for long-term, coincident measurements of air pollution and meteorological variables to develop process-level constraints for evaluating chemistry-climate models used to project air quality responses to climate change.

Systems such as the Real-time Coastal Observation Network (ReCON) require controlling power to sensors and components with currents of up to 2 amps and voltages up to 48 volts. Though there are some off-the-shelf solutions available, these systems either consume unnecessary power, or are limited in the amount of current and voltage that they can handle. The design of the System Power Controller board provides eight channels of semiconductor-switched power that can handle the current and voltage requirements while consuming a low amount of quiescent power. Each power channel provides high-side switching of up to 60 volts and currents of up to 2 amps. A low-power microprocessor using an RS-232 serial interface allows programming of the channels, including time delayed events. Three analog input channels allow measuring system voltages, such as solar panel, battery, and system bus voltages. The controller includes a watchdog timer with relay output which allows a full power reboot of the data collection system. The system can be operated with any voltage from 7 to 60 volts, and the entire controller only consumes 0.14 watts of power when powered at 12 volts. The controller board conforms to the PC/104 standard form factor so that it can be mounted on the top of a standard PC/104 stack. The system has proven reliable in several years of field use and has been incorporated as an integral component of the ReCON data collection network.

The Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) level-II radar data from the Dodge City, Kansas (KDDC), Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) are assimilated into the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) Collaborative Model for Multiscale Atmospheric Simulation (COMMAS). The initially horizontally homogeneous environments are initialized from one of three reconstructed soundings representative of the early tornadic phase of the storm, when a low-level jet (LLJ) was intensifying. To isolate the impact of the low-level wind profile, 0-3.5-km AGL wind profiles from Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma (KVNX), WSR-88D velocity-azimuth display (VAD) analyses at 0130, 0200, and 0230 UTC are used. A sophisticated, double-moment bulk ice microphysics scheme is employed. For each of the three soundings, ensemble forecast experiments are initiated from EnKF analyses at various times prior to and shortly after the genesis of the Greensburg tornado (0200 UTC). Probabilistic forecasts of the mesocyclone-scale circulation(s) are generated and compared to the observed Greensburg tornado track. Probabilistic measures of significant rotation and observation-space diagnostic statistics are also calculated. It is shown that, in general, the track of the Greensburg tornado is well predicted, and forecasts improve as forecast lead time decreases. Significant variability is also seen across the experiments using different VAD wind profiles. Implications of these results regarding the choice of initial mesoscale environment, as well as for the "Warn-on-Forecast" paradigm for probabilistic numerical prediction of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, are discussed.

When precipitation is used as a proxy for near-cloud-base mass fluxes, the preliminary results indicate that surface divergence is fairly well correlated with the precipitation and that the surface divergence lags the precipitation. These results suggest that it is possible to use the proposed method to infer the near-cloud-base mass fluxes. Two CRM simulations of convective systems were also used to evaluate the method. The results show there is a good correlation between the inferred and true near-cloud-base mass fluxes except for some differences in timing and at peak values. An alternative to the original near-cloud-base mass flux method using the surface divergence statistics is to use the surface precipitation. Key Points * Near-cloud-base convective mass fluxes can be estimated from mesonet wind data * Mesonet divergence statistics are correlated with the convective rainfall rate JF - Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems AU - Sun, Ruiyu AU - Krueger, Steven K AD - UCAR, EMC, NCEP, NWS, NOAA,Camp Springs, Maryland USA.

An area with commercial fishing and a nearby comparison area where commercial fishing was prohibited were surveyed before and during the fishery. Acoustic data were used to assess changes in the abundance, geographical and vertical distributions, and small-scale spatial patterns of walleye pollock, which may have occurred after the fishery commenced. A decrease in biomass after fishing began was detected only in 2004. No changes were detected in geographical or vertical distributions that could be attributed to the fishery in any year. Adults did not appear to aggregate or disperse in response to the fishery. Juvenile aggregations did differ between the prefishery and fishery surveys in 1 of the 2 years when juveniles were present. These data suggest that changes in walleye pollock abundance and distribution caused by the fishery are likely quite small compared with natural fluctuations.Original Abstract: Des inventaires acoustiques repetes en double realises pres de l'ile de Kodiak, Alaska, E.-U., durant les etes 2001, 2004 et 2006, ont montre que l'effet a court terme des activites de peche commerciale sur la goberge de l'Alaska (Theragra chalcogramma) durant cette periode est faible, dans la plupart des cas sous le seuil de detection. Nous avons inventorie une zone de peche commerciale et une zone avoisinante de comparaison dans laquelle la peche commerciale etait interdite avant et durant la peche. Les donnees acoustiques ont servi a evaluer les changements dans l'abondance, les repartitions geographiques et verticales et les patrons spatiaux a petite echelle qui ont pu se produire chez la goberge apres le debut de la peche. Nous avons decele une reduction de la biomasse apres le debut de la peche seulement en 2004. Aucun changement n'a ete observe dans les repartitions geographiques ou verticales qui aurait pu etre attribue a la peche durant ces trois annees. Les adultes ne semblent pas se rassembler ou se disperser en reaction a la peche. Les rassemblements de jeunes differaient dans les inventaires avant et durant la peche lors de l'une des deux annees pendant laquelle les jeunes etaient presents. Nos donnees laissent croire que les changements causes par la peche dans l'abondance et la repartition de la goberge sont vraisemblablement petits par comparaison aux fluctuations naturelles.

The underlying assumption is that DTT is smaller and much more reactive toward gold compared with most ligands of interest, and as a result will reactively displace the ligands from surface sites thereby enabling their quantification. In this study, we use complementary dimensional and spectroscopic methods to characterize the efficiency of DTT displacement. Thiolated methoxypolyethylene glycol (SH-PEG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were chosen as representative ligands. Results clearly show that (1) DTT does not completely displace bound SH-PEG or BSA from AuNPs, and (2) the displacement efficiency is dependent on the binding affinity between the ligands and the AuNP surface. Additionally, the displacement efficiency for conjugated SH-PEG is moderately dependent on the molecular mass (yielding efficiencies ranging from 60 to 80% measured by ATR-FTIR and 90 % by ES-DMA), indicating that the displacement efficiency for SH-PEG is predominantly determined by the S-Au bond. BSA is particularly difficult to displace with DTT (i.e., the displacement efficiency is nearly zero) when it is in the so-called normal form. The displacement efficiency for BSA improves to 80 % when it undergoes a conformational change to the expanded form through a process of pH change or treatment with a surfactant. An analysis of the three-component system (SH-PEG+BSA+AuNP) indicates that the presence of SH-PEG decreases the displacement efficiency for BSA, whereas the displacement efficiency for SH-PEG is less impacted by the presence of BSA.

We exploit exogenous variation in immigrant shares stemming from a nationwide program placing refugees in municipalities throughout Sweden during 1985-94 and match data on refugee placement to panel survey data on inhabitants of the receiving municipalities. We find significant, negative effects of increased immigration on the support for redistribution. The effect is especially pronounced among high-income earners. We also establish that estimates from earlier studies failing to identify causal effects are likely to be positively biased (i.e., less negative). Adapted from the source document.

The region is in the southern Rio Grande rift (RGr) tectonic province and includes a long segment of the binational Rio Grande Valley and the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez metropolitan complex (population about 2 million). Major advances have recently been made in development of digital hydrogeologic models and related GIS datasets that incorporate large amounts of information on RGr basin-fill (Santa Fe Group) and river-valley aquifer systems, particularly in western Hueco and southern Mesilla Bolson areas connected by El Paso del Norte narrows. The GIS format (e.g. ESRI ArcGIS (super (R)) ) allows integration of surface and subsurface information that can be used in ongoing groundwater-flow and geochemical modeling. Aquifer hydrogeology is defined in terms of 1) major lithofacies-assemblages (LFAs) that are grouped as informal hydrostratigraphic units (HSUs), and 2) basin-boundary and intra-basin structural controls. Hydrogeologic maps and cross-sections (msl base) completed to date include maps of surficial-features and bedrock topography (structure-contour), and 20 sections. Tectonic controls on both basin-fill composition, and groundwater flow and chemistry in the study region include half-graben basins and flanking ranges that are linked across zones of structural accommodation. Major aquifer systems are formed by basin-floor LFAs deposited by Late Neogene ancestral fluvial-deltaic distributaries, and Late Quaternary Rio Grande Valley fill. These poorly consolidated sediments are grouped into middle and upper Santa Fe Gp and river-valley HSUs, with horizontal hydraulic conductivities in the 3-30 m/day range. Saturated basin-fill fluvial sequences are as much as 300 m thick and 30 km wide, while river-valley fill is less that 30 m thick and 9 km wide. Water quality is fresh to moderately brackish. Except for eolian-sand facies, subjacent lower to middle Santa Fe Gp basin-floor LFAs (Miocene) and intertonguing piedmont-slope deposits have much lower aquifer potential because of finer matrix, and greater consolidation and cementation.

In the Saemangeum area on the west coast of Korea, construction of a huge tidal dyke for land reclamation has strongly influenced the coastal environment. This study used remotely sensed data to analyze the SS changes in coastal waters caused by the dyke construction. Landsat and MODIS satellite images were used for the spatial analysis of finer patterns and for the detailed temporal analysis, respectively. Forty Landsat scenes and 105 monthly composite MODIS images observed during 1985-2010 were employed, and four field campaigns (from 2005 to 2006) were performed to verify the image-derived SS. The results of the satellite data analyses showed that the seawater was clear before the dyke construction, with SS values lower than 20 g/m (super 3) . These values increased continuously as the dyke construction progressed. The maximum SS values appeared just before completion of the fourth dyke. Values decreased to below 5 g/m (super 3) after dyke construction. These changes indicated tidal current modification. Some eddies and plumes were observed in the images generated from Landsat data. Landsat and MODIS can reveal that coastal water turbidity was greatly reduced after completion of the construction. Abstract Copyright (2012) Elsevier, B.V.

GDP is an expenditure-based measure and is estimated based on spending on final goods and services. GDI is an income-based measure and is estimated based on income generated in the production of goods and services. Before the recession that began in the fourth quarter of 2007 and ended in the second quarter of 2009, GDI growth was generally lower than GDP growth, which has generated discussion about whether the source data and adjustments that underlie GDP reflect enough economic cyclicality. This article explores an alternative: whether the source data and adjustments that underlie GDI reflect too much economic cyclicality and whether this effect may explain a significant share of the difference between GDP and GDI during the downturn.

In the third quarter, real GDP increased 1.8 percent. For the year 2011, real GDP increased 1.7 percent after increasing 3.0 percent in 2010 (see page 6). The acceleration in real GDP in the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily reflected an upturn in inventory investment and accelerations in consumer spending and in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a deceleration in nonresidential fixed investment, a downturn in federal government spending, an acceleration in imports, and a larger decrease in state and local government spending.

Global climate models have too coarse resolution to simulate hailstorms explicitly; thus it is unclear if a warmer climate will change hailstorm frequency and intensity, and if so, whether such events will become more likely through intensified thunderstorms or less likely owing to overall warmer conditions. Here we investigate hail generation and maintenance for warm-season extreme precipitation events in Colorado, USA, for both present-day and projected future climates using high-resolution model simulations capable of resolving hailstorms. Most simulations indicate a near-elimination of hail at the surface in future simulations for this region, despite more intense future storms and significantly larger amounts of hail generated in-cloud. An increase in the height of the environmental melting level due to climate warming is found to be the primary reason for the disappearance of surface hail, as the warmer atmosphere increases the melting of frozen precipitation. A decrease in future surface hail at high-elevation locations may imply potential changes in both hail damage and flood risk.

These payoffs are lessened if immigrants choose to live and work in ethnic enclaves where the necessity to communicate in English is weak. Ethnic enclaves are widespread and persistent in the U.S. This study uses data from the 2010 American Community Survey to examine the impact of residential and occupational segregation on immigrants' ability to speak English. We allow for heterogeneity in the relationship between segregation and English language proficiency across ethnic groups and focus specifically on Mexican and Chinese immigrants. Our results show that immigrants in the U.S. who live and work among high concentrations of their countrymen are less likely to be proficient in English than those who are less residentially and occupationally segregated. The magnitude of the effect of segregation on language proficiency varies across immigrants' birthplaces and other salient characteristics defining the immigration context. Tables, References.

Analysis of rainfall and runoff data at the event scale revealed a seasonal switching pattern of runoff coefficients. Event runoff coefficients in the moderately wet and wet periods (October-April) are consistently higher than those in the dry period (May-September). The switching pattern can be attributed to the higher potential evaporation in the summer season (relative to precipitation), which contributes to a reduction of soil moisture and thus higher initial losses during storm events. This is partly confirmed by the simulation results with the use of the THREW model. However, the results also show that soil drying alone cannot fully explain the sharp drop of the estimated runoff coefficients between spring and summer. This may be indicative that additional abstraction processes may be operative. Three additional abstraction processes are hypothesized as potential explanations, namely, surface depressions, canopy interception and soil cracking. Each of these processes is introduced into the THREW model sequentially, and evaluated in terms of their ability to reproduce various signatures of intra-annual runoff variability, including the switching behavior of event runoff coefficients. Finally, we present simulation results, where all three abstraction processes are included in the THREW model, and the model are recalibrated against the observed data, resulting in improved reproduction of observed streamflows over the baseline results.

When a river reach receives significant lateral inflows, flood inundation modelling requires the joint application of a hydrological model to calculate lateral inflows and a hydraulic model to calculate water levels along the river reach. In this study, we compared different strategies to couple the GR4J lumped rainfall-runoff model and the linearised diffusive wave propagation model. These strategies introduced variations in the nature of the connections between the two models using combinations of point and uniformly distributed lateral inflows. The coupled model was then applied to the Illinois River case study for which 10 years of hourly data were made available within the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project, now in phase 2. The simulations were assessed at the downstream end of the reach and at two interior points considered to be ungauged during the calibration process. The results first show that including uniformly distributed inflows made the coupled model more robust and stable compared to only using point flow input. A similar level of performance was reached with models using point inflows only, but at the cost of more uncertain parameters and less stable model performance when changing test periods. Second, identifying the optimal number of tributaries to be modelled individually by the hydrological model was easier when a combination of uniformly distributed and point inflows was used. In this case, model performance was less sensitive to the number of tributaries used and the inclusion of two or three tributaries appeared sufficient to obtain satisfactory performance for the simulations on the main channel. Last, the results on the main channel differed from those obtained on tributaries: overall performance was better on the main channel and required a lower degree of lateral inflow resolution, which suggests that upstream flow measurements provide valuable information for flow simulation on ungauged points.

Vflo(TM) is a gridded distributed hydrologic model that predicts runoff and continuously updates soil moisture. As a participating model in the second Distributed Model Intercomparison Project (DMIP2), Vflo(TM) is applied to the Illinois and Blue River basins in Oklahoma. Model parameters are derived from geospatial data for initial setup, and then adjusted to reproduce the observed flow under continuous time-series simulations and on an event basis. Simulation results demonstrate that certain runoff events are governed by saturation excess processes, while in others, infiltration-rate excess processes dominate. Streamflow prediction accuracy is enhanced when multi-sensor precipitation estimates (MPE) are bias corrected through re-analysis of the MPE provided in the DMIP2 experiment, resulting in gauge-corrected precipitation estimates (GCPE). Model calibration identified a set of parameters that minimized objective functions for errors in runoff volume and instantaneous discharge. Simulated streamflow for the Blue and Illinois River basins, have Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients between 0.61 and 0.68, respectively, for the 1996-2002 period using GCPE. The streamflow prediction accuracy improves by 74% in terms of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency when GCPE is used during the calibration period. Without model calibration, excellent agreement between hourly simulated and observed discharge is obtained for the Illinois, whereas in the Blue River, adjustment of parameters affecting both saturation and infiltration-rate excess processes were necessary. During the 1996-2002 period, GCPE input was more important than model calibration for the Blue River, while model calibration proved more important for the Illinois River. During the verification period (2002-2006), calibration was more important than GCPE input for the Illinois River, but both calibration and GCPE input improved prediction accuracy within the Blue River.

This study involves analysis of signatures of spatio-temporal runoff variability, extracted from both observed rainfall-runoff data and from predictions of a distributed, physically based rainfall-runoff model. Analysis of observed data in both basins indicates that event runoff coefficients are systematically higher in the wet season than in the dry season. Model predictions indicate that the transition from high to low runoff coefficients in the Blue River basin is linked to variations of water table depth and surface soil moisture, contributing to a seasonal switching of surface runoff generation mechanisms, from saturation excess to infiltration excess. In the Illinois River basin, however, due to more permeable soils, infiltration excess runoff occurs rarely. The differences in intra-annual patterns of runoff coefficients and runoff generation mechanisms can be partly explained by the seasonality of climate forcing and water table position. Despite the significant differences of runoff generation mechanisms between the two basins, spatial analysis of the model results reveals that in both watersheds, but especially so in the more humid Illinois River basin, saturation excess runoff and subsurface stormflow coexist in competition throughout the year. This competition is quantitatively shown to be controlled by the relative magnitudes of the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soils and the topographic slope. In addition, the spatial variabilities of runoff generation processes also impact the spatial scaling behavior of runoff ratios, indicating the existence of a threshold watershed size beyond which the variability is averaged out.

The model implementation is based on 30-m spatial resolution and 1h time-step for all basins and interior watersheds involved in the DMIP study. Rainfall inputs are derived from Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD). The distributed model parameters are based on an extensive database of watershed characteristics available for the region, including digital maps of topography, soil type, and land use. The model is calibrated and validated on part of the river flow records for each basin and applied to the smaller interior watersheds not used in calibration to assess the model performance in ungaged basins. The statistics improve significantly with calibration of the global model parameters but even for uncalibrated simulations, the WetSpa model reproduces flow rates of acceptable accuracy for most cases. To evaluate the model performance during calibration and validation periods, an Aggregated Measure (AM) is introduced that measures different aspects of the simulated hydrograph such as shape, size and volume. The statistics for the five calibration basins show that the model produces very good to excellent results for the calibration period. With the exception of Blue River basin, the overall model performance for the validation period remains good to very good, indicating that the model is able to simulate the relevant hydrologic processes in the basins accurately. The performance of the uncalibrated model for the subcatchments is more variable, but the hourly flow rates generally reproduced with reasonable accuracy indicating an encouraging performance of the model.

This paper addresses a DMIP 2 study that focuses on the advantages of using a semi-distributed modeling structure. We first present a revised semi-distributed structure of the NWS SACramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA) model that separates the routing of fast and slow response runoff components, and thus explicitly accounts for the differences between the two components. We then test four different calibration strategies that take advantage of the strengths of existing optimization algorithms (SCE-UA) and schemes (MACS). These strategies include: (1) lumped parameters and basin averaged precipitation, (2) semi-lumped parameters and distributed precipitation forcing, (3) semi-distributed parameters and distributed precipitation forcing and (4) lumped parameters and basin averaged precipitation, modified using a priori parameters of the SAC-SMA model. Finally, we explore the value of using discharge observations at interior points in model calibration by assessing gains/losses in hydrograph simulations at the basin outlet. Our investigation focuses on two key DMIP 2 science questions. Specifically, we investigate (a) the ability of the semi-distributed model structure to improve stream flow simulations at the basin outlet and (b) to provide reasonably good simulations at interior points. The semi-distributed model is calibrated for the Illinois River Basin at Siloam Springs, Arkansas using streamflow observations at the basin outlet only. The results indicate that lumped to distributed calibration strategies (1 and 4) both improve simulation at the outlet and provide meaningful streamflow predictions at interior points. In addition, the results of the complementary study, which uses interior points during the model calibration, suggest that model performance at the outlet can be further improved by using a semi-distributed structure calibrated at both interior points and the outlet, even when only a few years of historical record are available.

The study was performed in the context of Phase 2 of the DMIP project organized by the Hydrology Lab of the NWS. To deal with the problem of ill conditioning, we employ a regularization approach that constrains the search space using information contained in a priori estimates of the spatially distributed parameter fields developed from soils and other geo-spatial datasets. Unlike the commonly used spatial-multiplier method, our more general approach allows the parameters to depart non-uniformly (to some degree) from the a priori spatial pattern. The approach reduces the number of unknowns to be estimated using historical input-output data from 860 to 35. Two commonly used summary statistics of the model residuals, MSE and MSEL, are used to optimize fitting of the model to both the peaks and the recession periods of the time series data. A signature measure approach is used to select parameter sets that are close to Pareto-optimal in terms of MSE and MSEL, but which provide more consistent representation of the hydrologic behavior of the watershed as summarized by measures derived from the flow duration curve. While the results support the methods used in this analysis and show considerable improvement over the a priori parameter estimates, we find that the basin has some peculiar behaviors (including time non-stationarity) that the HL-DHM model as implemented is not set up to reproduce.

The overall purpose of DMIP 2 was to test many distributed models with operational quality data with a view towards meeting NWS operational forecasting needs. At the same time, DMIP 2 was formulated as an experiment that could be leveraged by the broader scientific community as a platform for testing, evaluating, and improving the science of spatially distributed models. This paper presents the key results of the DMIP 2 experiments conducted for the Oklahoma region, which included comparison of lumped and distributed model simulations generated with uncalibrated and calibrated parameters, water balance tests, routing and soil moisture tests, and simulations at interior locations. Simulations from 14 independent groups and 16 models are analyzed. As in DMIP 1, the participant simulations were evaluated against observed hourly streamflow data and compared with simulations generated by the NWS operational lumped model. A wide range of statistical measures are used to evaluate model performance on both run-period and event basis. A noteworthy improvement in DMIP 2 was the combined use of two lumped models to form the benchmark for event improvement statistics, where improvement was measured in terms of runoff volume, peak flow, and peak timing for between 20 and 40 events in each basin. Results indicate that in general, those spatially distributed models that are calibrated to perform well for basin outlet simulations also, in general, perform well at interior points whose drainage areas cover a wide range of scales. Two of the models were able to provide reasonable estimates of soil moisture versus depth over a wide geographic domain and through a period containing two severe droughts. In several parent and interior basins, a few uncalibrated spatially distributed models were able to achieve better goodness-of-fit statistics than other calibrated distributed models, highlighting the strength of those model structures combined with their a priori parameters. In general, calibration solely at basin outlets alone was not able to greatly improve relative model performance beyond that established by using uncalibrated a priori parameters. Further, results from the experiment for returning DMIP 1 participants reinforce the need for stationary data for model calibration: in some cases, the improvements gained by distributed models compared to lumped were not realized when the models were calibrated using inconsistent precipitation data from DMIP 1. Event-average improvement of distributed models over the combined lumped benchmark was measured in terms of runoff volume, peak flow, and peak timing for between 20 and 40 events. The percentage of model-basin pairs having positive distributed model improvement at basin outlets and interior points was 18%, 24%, and 28% respectively, for these quantities. These values correspond to 14%, 33%, and 22% respectively, in DMIP 1. While there may not seem to be much gain compared to DMIP 1 results, the DMIP 2 values were based on more precipitation-runoff events, more model-basin combinations (148 versus 51), more interior ungauged points (9 versus 3), and a benchmark comprised of two lumped model simulations. In addition, we propose a set of statistical measures that can be used to guide the calibration of distributed and lumped models for operational forecasting.

After DMIP 1, the NWS recognized the need for additional science experiments to guide its research-to-operations path towards advanced hydrologic models for river and water resources forecasting. This was accentuated by the need to develop a broader spectrum of water resources forecasting products (such as soil moisture) in addition to the more traditional river, flash flood, and water supply forecasts. As it did for DMIP 1, the NWS sought the input and contributions from the hydrologic research community. DMIP 1 showed that using operational precipitation data, some distributed models could indeed perform as well as lumped models in several basins and better than lumped models for one basin. However, in general, the improvements were more limited than anticipated by the scientific community. Models combining so-called conceptual rainfall-runoff mechanisms with physically-based routing schemes achieved the best overall performance. Clear gains were achieved through calibration of model parameters, with the average performance of calibrated models being better than uncalibrated models. DMIP 1 experiments were hampered by temporally-inconsistent precipitation data and few runoff events in the verification period for some basins. Greater uncertainty in modeling small basins was noted, pointing to the need for additional tests of nested basins of various sizes. DMIP 2 experiments in the Oklahoma (OK) region were more comprehensive than in DMIP 1, and were designed to improve our understanding beyond what was learned in DMIP 1. Many more stream gauges were located, allowing for more rigorous testing of simulations at interior points. These included two new gauged interior basins that had drainage areas smaller than the smallest in DMIP 1. Soil moisture and routing experiments were added to further assess if distributed models could accurately model basin-interior processes. A longer period of higher quality precipitation data was available, and facilitated a test to note the impacts of data quality on model calibration. Moreover, the DMIP 2 calibration and verification periods contained more runoff events for analysis. Two lumped models were used to define a robust benchmark for evaluating the improvement of distributed models compared to lumped models. Fourteen groups participated in DMIP 2 using a total of sixteen models. Ten of these models were not in DMIP 1. This paper presents the motivation for DMIP 2 Oklahoma experiments, discusses the major project elements, and describes the data and models used. In addition, the paper introduces the findings, which are covered in a companion results paper (Smith et al., this issue). Lastly, the paper summarizes the DMIP 1 and 2 experiments with commentary from the NWS perspective. Future papers will cover the DMIP 2 experiments in the western USA mountainous basins.

Accurate a priori parameters can reduce the manual calibration effort and/or speed up the automatic calibration process, reduce calibration uncertainty, and provide valuable information at ungauged locations. Underpinned by reasonable parameter data sets, distributed hydrologic modeling can help improve water resource and flood and flash flood forecasting capabilities. Initial efforts at the National Weather Service Office of Hydrologic Development (NWS OHD) to derive a priori gridded Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA) model parameters for the conterminous United States (CONUS) were based on a relatively coarse resolution soils property database, the State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO) (Soil Survey Staff, 2011) and on the assumption of uniform land use and land cover. In an effort to improve the parameters, subsequent work was performed to fully incorporate spatially variable land cover information into the parameter derivation process. Following that, finer-scale soils data (the county-level Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) (Soil Survey Staff, 2011a,b), together with the use of variable land cover data, were used to derive a third set of CONUS, a priori gridded parameters. It is anticipated that the second and third parameter sets, which incorporate more physical data, will be more realistic and consistent. Here, we evaluate whether this is actually the case by intercomparing these three sets of a priori parameters along with their associated hydrologic simulations which were generated by applying the National Weather Service Hydrology Laboratory's Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (HL-RDHM) (Koren et al., 2004) in a continuous fashion with an hourly time step. This model adopts a well-tested conceptual water balance model, SAC-SMA, applied on a regular spatial grid, and links to physically-based kinematic hillslope and channel routing models. Discharge and soil moisture simulated using the different set of parameters are presented to show how the parameters affect the results and under what conditions one set of parameters works better than another. In total, 63 basins ranging in size from 30 km (super 2) to 5224 km (super 2) were selected for this study. Sixteen of them were used to study the effects of different a priori parameters on simulated flow. Simulated hourly flow time series from three cases were compared to hourly observed data to compute statistics. Although the overall statistics are similar for the three different sets of parameters, improvements in simulated flow are observed for small basins when SSURGO-based parameters are used. Fifty-seven basins covering different climate regimes were used to analyze differences in the modeled soil moisture. Results again showed that the use of SSURGO-based parameters generate better soil moisture results when compared to STATSGO-based results, especially for the upper soil layer of smaller basins and wet basins.

AN - 964164632; 15215 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046395; 15215-7_0053 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system.

[Part 45 of 57] T2 - TAPPAN ZEE HUDSON RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 1020046377; 15215-7_0045 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046335; 15215-7_0044 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location.

[Part 12 of 57] T2 - TAPPAN ZEE HUDSON RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 1020046323; 15215-7_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046304; 15215-7_0037 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza.

[Part 33 of 57] T2 - TAPPAN ZEE HUDSON RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 1020046282; 15215-7_0033 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046257; 15215-7_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years.

The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

[Part 18 of 57] T2 - TAPPAN ZEE HUDSON RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 1020046058; 15215-7_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046049; 15215-7_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location.

[Part 21 of 57] T2 - TAPPAN ZEE HUDSON RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 1020046045; 15215-7_0021 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza. The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

The modifications to the Westchester landing would require reconstruction of the toll plaza, the westbound on-ramp from Route 9, and the existing New York State Thruway maintenance facility at Route 9. The short span and long span options differ in terms of the type of structure as well as the number of and distance between bridge piers. Both approach span options would include eight travel lanes with inside and outside shoulders on both structures. The north structure of each approach span option would also include a shared-use path to serve cyclists and pedestrians. Depending on the outcome of the design build process, project construction could take up to 5.5 years. Dredging would occur in three phases over a four-year period, and construction of the main span would take 3.5 years. Completion of the short span and long span approaches would take 3.5 to 4 years and 2.5 to 3 years, respectively. Demolition of the existing bridge is expected to take approximately one year. Construction cost is estimated in the range of $3.5 to $5 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge and would maintain a vital link in the regional and national transportation network. The bridge design will provide the flexibility to potentially allow for both bus rapid transit and commuter rail transit, should a viable plan be developed and implemented in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Replacement Bridge Alternative could affect groundwater and surface water resources, floodplains, and river bottom sediments. Full or partial acquisition of, or temporary easements on, 12 properties would result in the displacement of nine households in South Nyack. In Westchester County, the project would result in a permanent easement on a small portion of land in Tarrytown. The project would have direct effects on three historic properties (Tappan Zee Bridge, Elizabeth Place Park, and the South Nyack Historic District) and create limited adverse noise and visual impacts.

AN - 1020046040; 15215-7_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between the Village of South Nyack on the west and the Village of Tarrytown on the east, Rockland and Westchester counties, New York is proposed. The bridge carries Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway) and Interstate 287. The Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project is being advanced specifically to address the immediate structural and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge and is also based on an assessment of limited project funding opportunities for the foreseeable future. The Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 as part of the New York State Thruway extension between Suffern and Yonkers. Despite numerous improvements to the bridge and its highway connections, congestion has grown steadily over the years and the aging bridge structure has reached the point where major reconstruction and extensive measures are needed to sustain this vital link in the transportation system. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative and a Replacement Bridge Alternative with two options for approach spans. The No Build Alternative would involve the continued operation of the existing seven-lane bridge with ongoing maintenance and measures necessary to keep the bridge in a state of good repair. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge with two new structures (one each for eastbound and westbound traffic) to the north of its existing location. New structures and modifications to Interstate 87/287 (I-87/287) between Interchange 10 (Route 9W) in Nyack and Interchange 9 (Route 9) in Tarrytown would be required. Reconfiguration of the Rockland landing would require reconstruction of the South Broadway Bridge slightly east of its existing location. The reconfigured highway would also require that new eastbound and westbound maintenance ramps be constructed from I-87/287 to River Road. In Westchester County, the new alignment would extend 100 feet to the north and 100 feet to the south of the existing bridge and I-87/287 would be widened to carry 10 lanes through the Westchester County toll plaza.

15746013 AB - Domoic acid (DA), a naturally occurring environmental toxin, has been observed to induce status epilepticus in humans, sea lions and pelicans. In a recent Sprague Dawley rat model, domoic acid dosing induced a state of status epilepticus which, after a symptom-free latent period without further dosing, progressed to recurrent spontaneous seizures, a hallmark of epilepsy. Certain individuals in this study also developed unusual behavioral changes, in particular an atypical aggression towards conspecifics. In this report we characterized the progression of aggressive behaviors after DA-induced status epilepticus and explored the relationship between aggressive behavior and recurrent spontaneous seizures. Experimental studies in this laboratory rat model are particularly relevant to California sea lions (Zapholus californianus), which show a spectrum of both epileptic and unusual behaviors, including aggression towards conspecifics in rehabilitation facilities, weeks to months after suspected exposure to domoic acid in the wild.

This approach is motivated by recent developments of spatial multi-proxy Bayesian hierarchical models (BHM), which allow synthesizing local reconstructions from different proxies for a spatially complete picture of past climate. In order to enhance the pollen realism in these models we try to bridge the gap between spatial statistics and paleoclimatology and show how far classical pollen-climate transfer concepts such as regression methods, mutual climatic range, modern analogues, plant functional types, and biomes can be understood in novel ways by refining the data models used in BHMs. As a case study, we discuss modeling of uncertainty by introducing a new probabilistic pollen ratio model, which is a simplified variation of the modern analogue technique (MAT) including the concept of response surfaces and designed for later inclusion in a spatial multiproxy BHM. Applications to fossil pollen data from varved sediments in three nearby lakes in west-central Wisconsin, USA and for a Holocene fossil pollen record from southern California, USA provide local climate reconstructions of summer temperature for the past millennium and the Holocene respectively. The performance of the probabilistic model is generally similar in comparison to MAT-derived reconstructions using the same data. Furthermore, the combination of co-location and precise dating for the three fossil sites in Wisconsin allows us to study the issue of site-specific uncertainty and to test the assumption of ergodicity in a real-world example. A multivariate ensemble kernel dressing approach derived from the post-processing of climate simulations reveals that the overall interpretation based on the individual reconstructions remains essentially unchanged, but the single-site reconstructions underestimate the overall uncertainty.

The accident oiled shoreline near spawning habitats for the largest population of Pacific herring on the west coast of the continental United States. We assessed the health and viability of herring embryos from oiled and unoiled locations that were either deposited by natural spawning or incubated in subtidal cages. Three months after the spill, caged embryos at oiled sites showed sublethal cardiac toxicity, as expected from exposure to oil-derived polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). By contrast, embryos from the adjacent and shallower intertidal zone showed unexpectedly high rates of tissue necrosis and lethality unrelated to cardiotoxicity. No toxicity was observed in embryos from unoiled sites. Patterns of PACs at oiled sites were consistent with oil exposure against a background of urban sources, although tissue concentrations were lower than expected to cause lethality. Embryos sampled 2 y later from oiled sites showed modest sublethal cardiotoxicity but no elevated necrosis or mortality. Bunker oil contains the chemically uncharacterized remains of crude oil refinement, and one or more of these unidentified chemicals likely interacted with natural sunlight in the intertidal zone to kill herring embryos. This reveals an important discrepancy between the resolving power of current forensic analytical chemistry and biological responses of keystone ecological species in oiled habitats. Nevertheless, we successfully delineated the biological impacts of an oil spill in an urbanized coastal estuary with an overlapping backdrop of atmospheric, vessel, and land-based sources of PAC pollution.

Owing to their bioaccumulative nature, PCBs are still found in high concentrations in marine mammals, particularly those that occupy upper trophic positions. While PCB-related health effects have been well-documented in some mammals, studies among dolphins and whales are limited. We conducted health evaluations of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) near a site on the Georgia, United States coast heavily contaminated by Aroclor 1268, an uncommon PCB mixture primarily comprised of octa- through deca-chlorobiphenyl congeners. A high proportion (26%) of sampled dolphins suffered anaemia, a finding previously reported from primate laboratory studies using high doses of a more common PCB mixture, Aroclor 1254. In addition, the dolphins showed reduced thyroid hormone levels and total thyroxine, free thyroxine and triiodothyronine negatively correlated with PCB concentration measured in blubber (p = 0.039, < 0.001, 0.009, respectively). Similarly, T-lymphocyte proliferation and indices of innate immunity decreased with blubber PCB concentration, suggesting an increased susceptibility to infectious disease. Other persistent contaminants such as DDT which could potentially confound results were similar in the Georgia dolphins when compared with previously sampled reference sites, and therefore probably did not contribute to the observed correlations. Our results clearly demonstrate that dolphins are vulnerable to PCB-related toxic effects, at least partially mediated through the endocrine system. The severity of the effects suggests that the PCB mixture to which the Georgia dolphins were exposed has substantial toxic potential and further studies are warranted to elucidate mechanisms and potential impacts on other top-level predators, including humans, who regularly consume fish from the same marine waters.

16070492 AB - High volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete mixtures are being considered more frequently due to their cost and sustainability advantages. While the long term performance of these HVFA concretes typically meets or exceeds that of conventional concretes, their early age performance is often characterized by excessive retardation of the hydration reactions, delayed setting times, and low strengths. Extending an HVFA mixture to a ternary blend that incorporates a fine limestone powder may provide a viable solution to these deficiencies, particularly the hydration retardation and setting issues. In this paper, a nano-limestone powder and two other limestone fillers of increasing median particle size (4.4 mu m and 16.4 mu m) are investigated for their propensity to accelerate early age reactions and reduce setting times in a Class C fly ash/cement blend. The fineness of the limestone has measurable effects on its efficacy in accelerating hydration and decreasing setting times. Companion specimens prepared with a fine silica powder suggest that the fine limestone may act favorably through both a physical and a chemical mechanism. Isothermal calorimetry and Vicat needle penetration measurements on pastes are accompanied by strength measurements on mortars, to verify that the limestone powder substitutions are not negatively impacting strength development. A linear relationship with a reasonable correlation is found to exist between 1 d and 7 d compressive strengths of mortars and their accompanying cumulative heat release values as determined using isothermal calorimetry.

The accumulation of urban contaminants in stormwater ponds can lead to water-quality problems including nutrient enrichment, chemical contamination, and bacterial contamination. This study presents 5 years of monitoring data assessing water quality of a residential subdivision pond and adjacent tidal creek in coastal South Carolina, USA. The stormwater pond is eutrophic, as described by elevated concentrations of chlorophyll and phosphorus, and experiences periodic cyanobacterial blooms. A maximum monthly average chlorophyll concentration of 318.75 mu g/L was measured in the stormwater pond and 227.63 mu g/L in the tidal creek. Fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) levels were measured in both the pond and the tidal creek that exceeded health and safety standards for safe recreational use. A maximum monthly average FCB level of 1,247 CFU/100 mL was measured in the stormwater pond and 12,850 CFU/100 mL in the tidal creek. In addition, the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria and pathogenic bacteria were detected. Low concentrations of herbicides (atrazine and 2,4-D), a fungicide (chlorothalonil), and insecticides (pyrethroids and imidacloprid) were measured. Seasonal trends were identified, with the winter months having the lowest concentrations of chlorophyll and FCB. Statistical differences between the stormwater pond and the tidal creek were also noted within seasons. The tidal creek had higher FCB levels than the stormwater pond in the spring and summer, whereas the stormwater pond had higher chlorophyll levels than the tidal creek in the summer and fall seasons. Chlorophyll and FCB levels in the stormwater pond were significantly correlated with monthly average temperature and total rainfall. Pesticide concentrations were also significantly correlated with temperature and rainfall. Pesticide concentrations in the stormwater pond were significantly correlated with pesticide concentrations in the adjacent tidal creek. Chlorophyll and FCB levels in the tidal creek, however, were not significantly correlated with levels in the pond. While stormwater ponds are beneficial in controlling flooding, they may pose environmental and human health risks due to biological and chemical contamination. Management to reduce residential runoff may improve water quality in coastal stormwater ponds and their adjacent estuarine ecosystems.

Fifteen major and trace metals (Ag, Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, and Zn) were measured along with total organic carbon and grain size in surficial sediments. For most metals, maximum concentrations were seen in the eastern bay; however, values were still within concentration ranges found in other estuarine systems. In contrast, silver was higher in the western region. In general, metal distribution in the bay was positively correlated with grain size. Additionally, correlations between Al and other metals suggest natural sources for metals. The data presented here suggest that, although the Jobos Bay watershed contains both urban centers along with industrial and agricultural developments, anthropogenic inputs of metals may be negligible.

In this paper, we introduce a Chesapeake Bay community implementation of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ChesROMS) and use it to investigate the interannual variability of salinity in Chesapeake Bay. The ChesROMS implementation was evaluated by quantitatively comparing the model solutions with the observed variations in the Bay for a 15-year period (1991 to 2005). Temperature fields were most consistently well predicted, with a correlation of 0.99 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.5 degree C for the period, with modeled salinity following closely with a correlation of 0.94 and RMSE of 2.5. Variability of salinity anomalies from climatology based on modeled salinity was examined using empirical orthogonal function analysis, which indicates the salinity distribution in the Bay is principally driven by river forcing. Wind forcing and tidal mixing were also important factors in determining the salinity stratification in the water column, especially during low flow conditions. The fairly strong correlation between river discharge anomaly in this region and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation suggests that the long-term salinity variability in the Bay is affected by large-scale climate patterns. The detailed analyses of the role and importance of different forcing, including river runoff, atmospheric fluxes, and open ocean boundary conditions, are discussed in the context of the observed and modeled interannual variability.

Whale sexes were determined genetically. The delta super(13)C and delta super(15)N values from squid muscle were used from the GC, and from inshore and offshore sites in the GoM. We documented contrastingly lower delta super(13)C and delta super(15)N from whales and squid of the GoM compared with those from the GC. While this difference may be associated with variation in trophic position, geographic variation in biochemical cycling influenced significantly the contrasting isotope values between gulfs. Within the northern GoM, the highly distinct delta super(15)N values of neritic squid versus mesopelagic squid provide further evidence of habitat specificity in delta super(15)N.

Part I: Weather Noise Forcing and Coupled Response AN - 923199011; 16291982 AB - The mechanisms responsible for the decadal variability of the tripole mode of North Atlantic SST during the latter half of the twentieth century are diagnosed using a new technique. The SST and associated ocean variability are reconstructed by forcing an interactive ensemble coupled GCM by the surface fluxes resulting from weather noise. The weather noise surface fluxes are obtained from the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis by removing the simulated atmospheric feedback to the observed SST evolution. Simulations are performed to reconstruct and estimate the contributions of the local weather noise heat flux and wind stress to the observed evolution of the tripole pattern. The results indicate that the North Atlantic tripole pattern is forced primarily by the local weather noise surface heat flux. The roles of several types of ocean circulation variability, including gyres forced by the wind stress weather noise, the wind stress feedback to the SST, and the meridional overturning circulation, are also examined. Conclusions from this approach are expected to be model dependent. Further analysis, in the context of a simple model, of the mechanisms producing the tripole variability is presented in Part II.

This study uses an isopycnal climatology constructed from Argo conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profile data to define the current state of the AAIW salinity minimum (its core) and thence compute anomalies of AAIW core pressure, potential temperature, salinity, and potential density since the mid-1970s from ship-based CTD profiles. The results are used to calculate maps of temporal property trends at the AAIW core, where statistically significant strong circumpolar shoaling (30-50 dbar decade super(-1)), warming (0.05 degree -0.15 degree C decade super(-1)), and density reductions [up to -0.03 (kg m super(-3)) decade super(-1)] are found. These trends are strongest just north of the ACC in the southeast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and decrease equatorward. Salinity trends are generally small, with their sign varying regionally. Bottle data are used to extend the AAIW core potential temperature anomaly analysis back to 1925 in the Atlantic and to 1960 elsewhere. The modern warm AAIW core conditions appear largely unprecedented in the historical record: biennially and zonally binned median AAIW core potential temperatures within each ocean basin are, with the notable exception of the subtropical South Atlantic in the 1950s-70s, 0.2-1 degree C colder than modern values. Zonally averaged sea surface temperature anomalies around the AAIW formation latitudes in each ocean and sectoral southern annular mode indices are used to put the AAIW core property trends and variations into context.

One sample can provide data on genetics, prey preferences, foraging ecology, contaminant loads, and physiological processes. The limited data available suggest that biopsy wounds heal quickly and that there are usually no discernable adverse health effects. Published accounts on factors contributing to the success of collecting biopsy samples and the behavioral impacts to cetaceans following biopsy sampling were standardized to permit statistical analysis. Several factors contribute to the success of acquiring samples; however, sampling rates do not differ significantly between delivery devices. Behavioral responses to biopsy sampling vary by species and other factors. The most predominant response for odontocetes is low, while low and moderate responses are equally prevalent for mysticetes. The use of retrieval lines may increase the occurrence of moderate and strong responses by mysticetes. These findings suggest that biopsy sampling is relatively benign, causing only minor and short-lived responses. However, most researchers do not report sufficient data to assess short- and long-term physiological and behavioral impacts. Finally, limited data suggest that biopsy sampling does not impact cetacean habitat use or distribution patterns. Yet these impacts are rarely investigated, so additional data are needed.

The model exhibited acceptable fit, as indicated by the area under a receiver-operating-characteristic curve of 0.80 but was inconsistent with the zero catches that occurred frequently in the 2000s. Two types of spawners overlapped spatially within the survey area: those that exhibited peak spawning during April in the SCB at about 15.5 degree C and a smaller group that exhibited peak spawning in August near Punta Eugenia, Mexico, at 20 degree C or greater. The SCB generally had greater zoo-plankton than Mexican waters but less appropriate (lower) geostrophic flows. Mexican waters generally exhibited greater predicted habitat quality than the SCB in cold years. Predicted quality of the habitat in the SCB was greater from the 1980s to 2008 than in the earlier years of the survey primarily because temperatures and geostrophic flows were more appropriate for larvae. However, stock size the previous year had a larger effect on predictions than any environmental variable, indicating that larval Pacific mackerel did not fully occupy the suitable habitat during most years.

From approximately 1900 to 1940, the abundance of sardine reached 3.6 million metric tons and the "northern stock" migrated from offshore of California in the spring to the coastal areas near Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island in the summer. In the 1940s, the sardine stock collapsed and the few remaining sardine schools concentrated in the coastal region off southern California, year-round, for the next 50 years. The stock gradually recovered in the late 1980s and resumed its seasonal migration between regions off southern California and Canada. Recently, a model was developed which predicts the potential habitat for the northern stock of Pacific sardine and its seasonal dynamics. The habitat predictions were successfully validated using data from sardine surveys using the daily egg production method; scientific trawl surveys off the Columbia River mouth; and commercial sardine landings off Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island. Here, the predictions of the potential habitat and seasonal migration of the northern stock of sardine are validated using data from "acoustic-trawl" surveys of the entire west coast of the United States during the spring and summer of 2008. The estimates of sardine biomass and lengths from the two surveys are not significantly different between spring and summer, indicating that they are representative of the entire stock. The results also confirm that the model of potential sardine habitat can be used to optimally apply survey effort and thus minimize random and systematic sampling error in the biomass estimates. Furthermore, the acoustic-trawl survey data are useful to estimate concurrently the distributions and abundances of other pelagic fishes.

Rockfish are viviparous and the oil globule size of larvae at parturition has been shown to have direct effects on time until starvation and growth rate. We sampled embryos and preparturition larvae opportunistically from 89 gravid quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) in Southeast Alaska. Because the developmental stage and sampling period were correlated with oil globule size, they were treated as covariates in an analysis of maternal age, length, and weight effects on oil globule size. Maternal factors were related to developmental timing for almost all sampling periods, indicating that older, longer, and heavier females develop embryos earlier than younger, shorter, or lighter ones. Oil globule diameter and maternal length and weight were statistically linked, but the relationships may not be biologically significant. Weight-specific fecundity did not increase with maternal size or age, suggesting that reproductive output does not increase more quickly as fish age and grow. Age or size truncation of a rockfish population, in which timing of parturition is related to age and size, could result in a shorter parturition season. This shortening of the parturition season could make the population vulnerable to fluctuating environmental conditions.

Grouper larvae were collected from a transect across the Straits of Florida in 2003 and 2004 and during the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program spring and fall surveys from 1982 through 2005. Analysis of these larval data provided information on location and timing of spawning, larval distribution patterns, and interannual occurrence for a group of species not easily studied as adults. Our analyses indicated that shelf-edge habitat is important for spawning of many species of grouper--some species for which data were not previously available. Spawning for some species may occur year-round, but two peak seasons are evident: late winter and late summer through early fall. Interannual variability in the use of three important subregions by species or groups of species was partially explained by environmental factors (surface temperature, surface salinity, and water depth). A shift in species dominance over the last three decades from spring-spawned species (most of the commercial species) to fall-spawned species also was documented. The results of these analyses expand our understanding of the basic distribution and spawning patterns of northwest Atlantic grouper species and indicate a need for further examination of the changing population structure of individual species and species dominance in the region.

Initial studies by authors of this paper suggested that fish are behaviorally impacted by domoic acid in the same way that birds and mammals are impacted during toxic Pseudo-nitzschia blooms. However, subsequent research and field observations have contradicted that hypothesis and provide evidence that fish are more tolerant to domoic acid under ecologically relevant exposure conditions than their piscivorous predators. This is an important distinction as more attention has been drawn to domoic acid producing algal blooms and the potential for domoic acid to cause fish kills. Currently available data indicate that domoic acid producing algal blooms do not cause fish kills or neuroexcitotoxic behaviors in fish. Neuroexcitatory behavioral effects have been documented in fish in laboratory studies when fish were intraceolomically (IC) injected with domoic acid. In fact, with IC injection as the mode of exposure all fish, bird, and mammal species tested to date show a similar neurologic sensitivity to domoic acid in terms of behavioral excitotoxicity as quantified by a 50% effective concentration (EC50) metric. However, IC injection is not an ecologically relevant mode of exposure. Dietary consumption during toxic blooms is the route of exposure for fish. Results from oral exposure experiments and observations from multiple highly toxic bloom events have provided strong evidence that fish are not behaviorally affected by domoic acid during natural bloom conditions, even though fish regularly contain high levels of the toxin and act as vectors to seabirds and marine mammals. Collectively, the data presented in this review suggest that fish are not significantly impacted by domoic acid during typical toxigenic Pseudo-nitzschia blooms.

Due to the declining trend in the Pribilof Islands population of fur seals, it is important to understand how prey resources are partitioned among the population. Fur seals exhibit a high degree of sexual dimorphism resulting in energetic differences among age and sex classes. Therefore, we hypothesized that subadult male and adult female fur seals would differ in the type and size of prey consumed. We examined the diets of subadult male (age 2-8; mean mass 28-176 kg) and adult female (age greater than or equal to 3 yr; mean mass 13-50 kg) seals on St. Paul Island from 1992 to 2000. Prey remains found in fecal samples were compared using niche overlap indices. There was nearly complete dietary niche overlap between subadult male and adult female fur seals. Walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), Pacific herring (Clupeia pallasi), and cephalopods were common prey items found in the diets of both groups. We found differences in the size of pollock consumed and that geographic location of sample collection may be important in determining diet differences. Our results indicate high levels of dietary overlap among subadult male and adult female fur seals.

During 3 of 6 yr, researchers intentionally drove all adult and juvenile sea lions off at least part of the beach in order to permanently mark and measure sea lion pups. The research disturbance occurred after the majority of females had bred and when most pups were 1 mo old. We used generalized linear models to determine the relationship between research disturbance and sea lion behavior or abundance. Research disturbance was related to changes in the proportion of sea lions exhibiting two to three of nine behavior metrics: agonistic and resting females and active males at Marmot, and active and resting males and females at Ugamak. Model results indicated that changes lasted between 3 and 20 d depending on the sex, behavior, and rookery. Inclusion of research disturbance into Marmot abundance models did not improve the fit to the data, if variability between years was permitted. Optimally timed, low-frequency research disturbance did not appear to have long-term effects on sea lion behavior or abundance and was largely associated with changes that were similar to natural variation.

AN - 919956979; 22214215 AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are an important class of flame-retardants that are environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative. Toxicity of these compounds has become a concern because detectable levels of PBDEs are present in humans and wildlife and they are structurally similar to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This study examined the effects of the commercial penta-BDE mixture, DE-71, in adult female B(6)C(3)F(1) mice on hematology, serum clinical chemistry, thyroid hormones, tissue histology, and several immunotoxicity end-points (lymphocyte proliferation, NK cell activity, splenic immunophenotypes, and SRBC-specific-IgM production). Mice were exposed via oral gavage for 28 days to achieve total administered doses (TAD) of 0, 0.5, 5, 50, or 100 mg/kg. No changes in histology, clinical chemistry, body or organ weights were observed. Serum total T3 and T4 levels were not altered by any of the DE-71 treatments. Peripheral blood monocyte numbers were decreased by the 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg treatments, but not by the 100 mg/kg TAD concentration. Compared to controls, mitogen-stimulated T- and B-cell proliferation was increased by the 100 mg/kg TAD concentration (ED(50) = 60 mg/kg TAD [2.14 mg/kg/day] and 58 mg/kg TAD [2.57 mg/kg/day], respectively). NK cell activity was decreased compared to controls by the 100 mg/kg TAD concentration (ED(50) = 20 mg/kg TAD [0.7 mg/kg/day]). No alterations were noted in thymic T-cell populations or in SRBC-specific-IgM production. Numbers of CD19(+)CD21(-), CD19(+)CD21(+), CD4(+)CD8(-), CD4(-)CD8(+), CD4(-)CD8(-), and MHC-II(+) cells in the spleen were not affected. However, the numbers of splenic CD4(+)CD8(+) cells were decreased compared to the controls by 0.5, 5, and 100 mg/kg TAD. This study provides an assessment of the systemic toxicity and immunotoxicity of DE-71, and indicates that immune parameters are modulated at exposure concentrations lower than previously reported.

AN - 918578408; 22018895 AB - The western North Atlantic population of right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) is one of the most critically endangered of any whale population in the world. Among the factors considered to have potentially adverse effects on the health and reproduction of E. glacialis are biotoxins produced by certain microalgae responsible for causing harmful algal blooms. The worldwide incidence of these events has continued to increase dramatically over the past several decades and is expected to remain problematic under predicted climate change scenarios. Previous investigations have demonstrated that N. Atlantic right whales are being exposed to at least two classes of algal-produced environmental neurotoxins-paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and domoic acid (DA). Our primary aims during this six-year study (2001-2006) were to assess whether the whales' exposure to these algal biotoxins occurred annually over multiple years, and to what extent individual whales were exposed repeatedly and/or concurrently to one or both toxin classes. Approximately 140 right whale fecal samples obtained across multiple habitats in the western N. Atlantic were analyzed for PSTs and DA. About 40% of these samples were attributed to individual whales in the North Atlantic Right Whale Catalog, permitting analysis of biotoxin exposure according to sex, age class, and reproductive status/history. Our findings demonstrate clearly that right whales are being exposed to both of these algal biotoxins on virtually an annual basis in multiple habitats for periods of up to six months (April through September), with similar exposure rates for females and males (PSTs: ∼70-80%; DA: ∼25-30%). Notably, only one of 14 lactating females sampled did not contain either PSTs or DA, suggesting the potential for maternal toxin transfer and possible effects on neonatal animals. Moreover, 22% of the fecal samples tested for PSTs and DA showed concurrent exposure to both neurotoxins, leading to questions of interactive effects. Targeted studies employing both in vivo and in vitro model systems represent the next logical step in assessing how and to what extent these algal biotoxins might compromise the health and reproduction of this endangered population.

Highest capital sigma PFCs concentrations occurred in CHS juvenile dolphins (2340ng/g w.w.); significantly higher than found in adults (1570ng/g w.w. males; 1330ng/g w.w. females). capital sigma PFCAs were much greater in CHS dolphins ( approximately 21%) compared to IRL dolphins ( approximately 7%); capital sigma PFSAs were 79% in CHS dolphins versus 93% in IRL dolphins. PFOS, the dominant compound, averaged 72% and 84%, respectively, in CHS and IRL dolphins. Decreasing PFC levels occurred with age on the bioaccumulation of PFCs in both sites. These observations suggest PFC accumulation in these two dolphin populations are influenced by site-specific exposures with significantly higher levels in CHS dolphins.

We measured sediment denitrification potential (DEA), net nitrification, methanogenesis, and a suite of ancillary microbial variables in geomorphic stream features (organic debris dams, pools, riffles, and sloughs) in forested, urban degraded and urban restored streams in the Baltimore, MD, USA metropolitan area, between June 2005 and November 2006. DEA was higher in organic debris dams (2783+/-1405ngNg-1h-1, mean+/-standard error) than in pools (505+/-144), riffles (360+/-78), and sloughs (270+/-106), and was higher in forest (1439+/-613) than in urban degraded (442+/-98) and restored sites (391+/-116), but the differences were not statistically significant. DEA was positively related to microbial biomass N (MBN) (p<0.0001) and percent sediment organic matter (SOM) (p=0.006). DEA and MBN were significantly higher in June 2005 and August 2006 than in November 2006, a temporal pattern that may have been driven by changes in microbial biomass. Methanogenesis was active in all stream geomorphic features across all study sites. Reach scale estimates of nitrification ranged from 157 to 344mgNm-2d-1and were similar to reach scale DEA rates (97-230mgNm-2d-1 ), with no significant differences between restored and unrestored reaches. These results suggest that in-stream geomorphic features in urban restored and degraded sites have the potential to function as N sinks by maintaining anaerobic conditions and microbial biomass and activity that stimulate denitrification.

To develop a new more powerful model system, we have pursued methods to establish and expand cultures of primary lung cell types and reconstituted tissues from marine mammals. What little is known about the physiology of the deep-sea diving pygmy sperm whale (PSW), Kogia breviceps, comes primarily from stranding events that occur along the coast of the southeastern United States. Thus, development of a method for preserving live tissues and retrieving live cells from deceased stranded individuals was initiated. This report documents successful cryopreservation of PSW lung tissue. We established in vitro cultures of primary lung cell types from tissue fragments that had been cryopreserved several months earlier at the stranding event. Dissociation of cryopreserved lung tissues readily provides a variety of primary cell types that, to varying degrees, can be expanded and further studied/manipulated in cell culture. In addition, PSW-specific molecular markers have been developed that permitted the monitoring of fibroblast, alveolar type II, and vascular endothelial cell types. Reconstitution of 3-D cultures of lung tissues with these cell types is now underway. This novel system may facilitate the development of rare or disease-specific lung tissue models (e.g., to test causes of PSW stranding events and lead to improved treatments for pulmonary hypertension or reperfusion injury in humans). Also, the establishment of a "living" tissue bank biorepository for rare/endangered species could serve multiple purposes as surrogates for freshly isolated samples.

AN - 911929417; 21994158 AB - The recent emergence of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) that are released into the environment and lead to exposure in organisms has accelerated the need to determine NP toxicity. Techniques for measuring the toxicity of NPs (nanotoxicology) in ecological receptors (nanoecotoxicology) are in their infancy, however, and establishing standardized ecotoxicity tests for NPs are presently limited by several factors. These factors include the extent of NP characterization necessary (or possible) before, during, and after toxicity tests such that toxic effects can be related to physicochemical characteristics of NPs; determining uptake and distribution of NPs within exposed organisms (does uptake occur or are effects exerted at organism surfaces?); and determining the appropriate types of controls to incorporate into ecotoxicity tests with NPs. In this review, the authors focus on the important elements of measuring the ecotoxicity of carbon NPs (CNPs) and make recommendations for ecotoxicology testing that should enable more rigorous interpretations of collected data and interlaboratory comparisons. This review is intended to serve as a next step toward developing standardized tests that can be incorporated into a regulatory framework for CNPs. Copyright © 2011 SETAC.

This review will also focus on the validation approaches used and available datasets. In addition, the present NOS forecast model construction process is outlined in terms of grid development considering two separate grid regions: 1) San Francisco Bay and the near shelf, and 2) offshore region to include the National Marine Sanctuaries. The specification of the offshore boundary conditions (to enable future couplings to a NOS West Coast shelf model) is discussed along with the development of initial conditions for hindcast validation. Initially, two-month simulation validation plans are presented utilizing the restored joint NOS and USGS 1979-1980 historical circulation survey datasets to calibrate the model for astronomical forcings. Next, extended hindcast plans are discussed to further validate the model for astronomical and complete meteorological forcings. The transition of SFBOFS to formal operations is outlined with plans for additional validation efforts and ongoing skill assessment.

The main goal of the paper is to test kernel modification methods used in geoid computations. Our tests found that Vanicek/Kleusberg's and Featherstone's methods fit the GPS/leveling data the best in the relative sense at various cap sizes. At the same time, we also pointed out that their methods are unstable and the mean values change from dm to meters by just changing the cap size. By contrast, the modification of the Wong and Gore type (including the spectral combination, method of Heck and Gruninger) is stable and insensitive to the truncation degree and cap size. This feature is especially useful when we know the accuracy of the gravity field at different frequency bands. For instance, it is advisable to truncate Stokes' kernel at a degree to which the satellite model is believed to be more accurate than surface data. The method of the Wong and Goretype does this job quite well. In contrast, the low degrees of Stokes' kernel are modified by Molodensky's coefficients t (sub n) in Vanicek/Kleusberg's and Featherstone's methods (cf. Eq. (6) in Li and Wang (2011)). It implies that the low degree gravity field of the reference model will be altered by less accurate surface data in the final geoid. This is also the cause of the larger variation in mean values of the geoid.

Here, we review the Integrated Ocean Observing System/Southeastern Universities Research Association (IOOS)/SURA Test Bed for the evaluation of hypoxia and coastal inundation models as a supplement to the Joint Hurricane Test Bed used to further advance hurricane track and intensity forecasting. The review will focus on present approaches toward forecast model skill assessment and improvement. Recently, the concept of a model evaluation environment has been explored within NOS's Coast Survey Development Laboratory and has been initially implemented in the Delaware River and Bay (Patchen, 2008). The restoration of NOS historical circulation survey datasets was used to provide dense spatial coverage of current, conductivity-temperature and conductivity-temperature-depth datasets for model evaluation. A set of common skill metrics was employed to compare multiple hydrodynamic models under common forcing conditions. We review these skill metrics and suggest some additional ones to further aid in the comparisons. The efforts to restore additional NOS historical circulation survey datasets are discussed in the context of the development of additional model evaluation environments in other coastal and estuarine regions. In conclusion, plans for further development of model test beds and evaluation environments are presented in the context of the IOOS goal to quantitatively assess model forecast improvements.

NOAA collected multibeam-echosounder data during hydrographic survey H11995 in a 63-square-kilometer area in central Rhode Island Sound, south of Sakonnet Point, Rhode Island. The USGS collected sediment samples, bottom video, and still photographs from 27 stations in this study area to verify an interpretation of the bathymetric data. Collected data are used to map areas of scour depressions and erosional outliers, megaripples, boulders, and relatively undisturbed modern marine sediments. In general, much of the eastern part of the study area, a submerged segment of the Harbor Hill-Roanoke Point-Charlestown-Buzzards Bay moraine, is bouldery. Bottom photography shows boulders are generally encrusted with hydrozoans, algae, and anemone. Scour depressions, presumably formed by long-period storm waves, and erosional outliers of Holocene sediments dominate the western part of the study area and several large areas in the east. The scour depressions tend to have coarser grained sediment than intervening erosional outliers. The coarseness likely creates turbulence in the water over these areas, which prevents fine-grained sediment deposition. Several small areas of megaripples are visible in the bathymetry data in the west. Other sandy areas are typically rippled, with burrows, worm tubes, and starfish present. JF - Open-File Report - U.

In this study, we first introduce satellite observations for surface solar irradiance and wind, and then discuss using the data for prediction and assessment of energy distribution. Using the current NCEP global forecast model (GFS), the global mean and standard deviation of solar power at the surface for the 5-d forecast are about 212 and 124 W/m (super 2) , respectively. For a 24-h forecast of a 3-h mean, the relative error is about 30%, and for a prediction of the daily mean, it is about 15%. The relative error of wind power forecasts for a 24-h forecast of a 3-h mean and a daily mean is 70% and 35%, respectively. The reanalysis results based on satellite observations and numerical weather prediction model are also used to study the distribution of solar and wind energy and the variation of the distribution related to climate change. No significant trend in downward solar radiation is found at the surface in the reanalysis data sets. Surface wind power however exhibits a significant positive trend as the global temperature is warming up. A comparison of a decadal mean wind energy between two decades (from 1949 to 1958 vs. from 1999 to 2008) shows that most of Asia had experienced a decrease in surface wind energy. Therefore, decisions about renewable energy developments need to consider such climate change scenarios.

Models of trace gas transport in polar firn are used to relate firn air and ice core records of trace gases to their atmospheric history. We propose a new model based on the following contributions. First, the firn air transport model is revised in a poromechanics framework with emphasis on the non-homogeneous properties and the treatment of gravitational settling. We then derive a nonlinear least square multi-gas optimisation scheme to calculate the effective firn diffusivity (automatic diffusivity tuning). The improvements gained by the multi-gas approach are investigated (up to ten gases for a single site are included in the optimisation process). We apply the model to four Arctic (Devon Island, NEEM, North GRIP, Summit) and seven Antarctic (DE08, Berkner Island, Siple Dome, Dronning Maud Land, South Pole, Dome C, Vostok) sites and calculate their respective depth-dependent diffusivity profiles. Among these different sites, a relationship is inferred between the snow accumulation rate and an increasing thickness of the lock-in zone defined from the isotopic composition of molecular nitrogen in firn air (denoted delta (super 15) N). It is associated with a reduced diffusivity value and an increased ratio of advective to diffusive flux in deep firn, which is particularly important at high accumulation rate sites. This has implications for the understanding of delta (super 15) N of N (sub 2) records in ice cores, in relation with past variations of the snow accumulation rate. As the snow accumulation rate is clearly a primary control on the thickness of the lock-in zone, our new approach that allows for the estimation of the lock-in zone width as a function of accumulation may lead to a better constraint on the age difference between the ice and entrapped gases.

We found similarities in their spatial distributions, in particular their hot spots are often collocated over croplands and to a lesser extent pastures. Globally, we found 22% of dust burden collocated with NH (sub 3) , with only 1% difference between land-use databases. This confirms the importance of anthropogenic dust from agriculture. Regionally, the Indian subcontinent has the highest amount of dust mixed with NH (sub 3) (26%), mostly over cropland and during the pre-monsoon season. North Africa represents 50% of total dust burden but accounts for only 4% of mixed dust, which is found over croplands and pastures in Sahel and the coastal region of the Mediterranean. In order to evaluate the radiative effect of this mixing on dust optical properties, we derive the mass extinction efficiency for various mixtures of dust and NH (sub 3) , using AERONET sunphotometers data. We found that for dusty days the coarse mode mass extinction efficiency decreases from 0.62 to 0.48 m (super 2) g (super -1) as NH (sub 3) burden increases from 0 to 40 mg m (super -2) . The fine mode extinction efficiency, ranging from 4 to 16 m (super 2) g (super -1) , does not appear to depend on NH (sub 3) concentration or relative humidity but rather on mineralogical composition and mixing with other aerosols. Our results imply that a significant amount of dust is already mixed with ammonium salt before its long range transport. This in turn will affect dust lifetime, and its interactions with radiation and cloud properties.

We use an ensemble of ten reference tracers of known atmospheric history to characterise the transport properties of the site. By analysing uncertainties in both data and the reference gas atmospheric histories, we can objectively assign weights to each of the gases used for the depth-diffusivity reconstruction. We define an objective root mean square criterion that is minimised in the model tuning procedure. Each tracer constrains the firn profile differently through its unique atmospheric history and free air diffusivity, making our multiple-tracer characterisation method a clear improvement over the commonly used single-tracer tuning. Six firn air transport models are tuned to the NEEM site; all models successfully reproduce the data within a 1sigma Gaussian distribution. A comparison between two replicate boreholes drilled 64 m apart shows differences in measured mixing ratio profiles that exceed the experimental error. We find evidence that diffusivity does not vanish completely in the lock-in zone, as is commonly assumed. The ice age- gas age difference (Delta age) at the firn-ice transition is calculated to be 182 (super +3) (sub -9) yr. We further present the first intercomparison study of firn air models, where we introduce diagnostic scenarios designed to probe specific aspects of the model physics. Our results show that there are major differences in the way the models handle advective transport. Furthermore, diffusive fractionation of isotopes in the firn is poorly constrained by the models, which has consequences for attempts to reconstruct the isotopic composition of trace gases back in time using firn air and ice core records.

It is an online model in which the dust aerosol dynamics and physics are solved at each model time step. The companion paper (Perez et al., 2011) develops the dust model parameterizations and provides daily to annual evaluations of the model for its global and regional configurations. Modeled aerosol optical depth (AOD) was evaluated against AERONET Sun photometers over Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe with correlations around 0.6-0.7 on average without dust data assimilation. In this paper we analyze in detail the behavior of the model using data from the Saharan Mineral dUst experiment (SAMUM-1) in 2006 and the Bodele Dust Experiment (BoDEx) in 2005. AOD from satellites and Sun photometers, vertically resolved extinction coefficients from lidars and particle size distributions at the ground and in the troposphere are used, complemented by wind profile data and surface meteorological measurements. All simulations were performed at the regional scale for the Northern African domain at the expected operational horizontal resolution of 25 km. Model results for SAMUM-1 generally show good agreement with satellite data over the most active Saharan dust sources. The model reproduces the AOD from Sun photometers close to sources and after long-range transport, and the dust size spectra at different height levels. At this resolution, the model is not able to reproduce a large haboob that occurred during the campaign. Some deficiencies are found concerning the vertical dust distribution related to the representation of the mixing height in the atmospheric part of the model. For the BoDEx episode, we found the diurnal temperature cycle to be strongly dependant on the soil moisture, which is underestimated in the NCEP analysis used for model initialization. The low level jet (LLJ) and the dust AOD over the Bodele are well reproduced. The remaining negative AOD bias (due to underestimated surface wind speeds) can be substantially reduced by decreasing the threshold friction velocity in the model.

Often, these compounds are not successfully degraded or removed by current water treatment processes. There is an increasing interest in developing new water treatment technologies based on catalytic nanoparticles to take advantage of enhanced particle reactivity at the nanoscale. Our current research focuses on the development and characterization of zero valent iron (ZVI) nanoparticles to improve nanoparticle design and enhance particle reactivity. The focus of this study was to evaluate two different iron salts as starting materials and to evaluate three different carboxymethyl cellulose stabilizers. The stabilizers were evaluated for their ability to stabilize ZVI nanoparticles during synthesis and to produce dispersed nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Nanoparticles with a modal particle diameter of less than 50 nm were obtained. Particles were characterized using electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, and zeta potential.

Tamura et al. (2011) demonstrate the existence of near-primitive, phenocryst-poor lavas at NW Rota-1 Volcano in the Mariana Arc, which is located about 40 km west of the volcanic front. These magnesian basalts are petrographically distinct cpx-olivine basalt (COB) and plagioclase-olivine basalts (POB). The active Pagan Volcano has erupted near-primitive lavas on its submarine flanks. The least fractionated compositions recovered from the NE flank (HPD1147) extend to higher MgO (7-11 wt %) and Mg# (60-70), than have ever been sampled from Pagan island lavas. The Fo contents of olivine (up to Fo (sub 94) ) and Cr-number of spinels (up to 0.8) suggest that these magmas formed from high degrees of mantle melting. There are three geochemical groups of cpx-olivine basalt (COB1, COB2 and COB3). TiO (sub 2) , Na (sub 2) O, K (sub 2) O, Rb, Nb are lowest in COB1 and highest in COB3. COB3 have steeper LREE-enriched patterns but the REE patterns of COB1 show contrasting LREE-depleted patterns, suggesting that COB1 formed from higher degrees of mantle melting. On the other hand, COB1 have the highest Ba/Th ratios and COB3 have the lowest, suggesting that a shallow subduction component is more important for COB1 than COB3, with COB2 intermediate. COB1, COB2 and COB3 show a negative trend on the Ba/Nb-Nb/Yb diagram (Fig. 1), suggesting that greater subduction components resulted in larger degrees of melting.

The Bergthorsson-Cressman-Doos-Glahn (BCDG) objective analysis technique used for g ridding MOS forecasts has been tailored to analyze surface observations. MDL is making the analyses to assess the spatial and temporal accuracy of gridded MOS and LAMP forecasts and to provide gridded LAMP nowcasts. The analyses are now available in the National Digital Guidance Database (NDGD); the grid is the same as that used in the National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD), a 2.5-km grid on a Lambert Conformal map projection covering the conterminous United States. This paper describes the intensive effort needed to assure the metadata are correct for each station, to develop necessary quality control procedures, and to reduce spatial and temporal discontinuities in the analyses. One of the capabilities of the analysis package is to use an observation from the previous hour if the station did not report at the analysis hour. An adjustment is made to the previous hour's observation in order to account for typical diurnal changes from the previous hour to the analysis hour. In addition, the radius of influence computed on an individual station basis is incorporated to handle a heterogeneous distribution of the observations. This paper focuses on the analyses of temperature and dewpoint over the conterminous United States on the NDFD grid. The analysis product suite will be extended and modified to include most observed weather elements, including ceiling height, visibility, sky cover, and wind speed and direction.

Long-term dust climatology is important for quantifying the effects of atmospheric aerosols on regional and global climate. Although many routine aerosol monitoring networks exist, it is often difficult to obtain dust records from these networks, because these monitors are either deployed far away from dust active regions (most likely collocated with dense population) or contaminated by anthropogenic sources and other natural sources, such as wildfires and vegetation detritus. Here we propose an approach to identify local dust events relying solely on aerosol mass and composition from general-purpose aerosol measurements. Through analyzing the chemical and physical characteristics of aerosol observations during satellite-detected dust episodes, we select five indicators to be used to identify local dust records: (1) high PM (sub 10) concentrations; (2) low PM (sub 2.5) /PM (sub 10) ratio; (3) higher concentrations and percentage of crustal elements; (4) lower percentage of anthropogenic pollutants; and (5) low enrichment factors of anthropogenic elements. After establishing these identification criteria, we conduct hierarchical cluster analysis for all validated aerosol measurement data over 68 IMPROVE sites in the western United States. A total of 182 local dust events were identified over 30 of the 68 locations from 2000 to 2007. These locations are either close to the four US Deserts, namely the Great Basin Desert, the Mojave Desert, the Sonoran Desert, and the Chihuahuan Desert, or in the high wind power region (Colorado). During the eight-year study period, the total number of dust events displays an interesting four-year activity cycle (one in 2000-2003 and the other in 2004-2007). The years of 2003, 2002 and 2007 are the three most active dust periods, with 46, 31 and 24 recorded dust events, respectively, while the years of 2000, 2004 and 2005 are the calmest periods, all with single digit dust records. Among these deserts, the Chihuahuan Desert (59 cases) and the Sonoran Desert (62 cases) are by far the most active source regions. In general, the Chihuahuan Desert dominates dust activities in the first half of the eight-year period while the Sonoran Desert in the second half. The monthly frequency of dust events shows a peak from March to July and a second peak in autumn from September to November. The large quantity of dust events occurring in summertime also suggests the prevailing impact of windblown dust across the year. This seasonal variation is consistent with previous model simulations over the United States.

However, the mechanism of how ZnO nanoparticles influence the photo degradation of polymersis is not well understood. This study has investigated the role of ZnO nanoparticles in the long-term performance of a polyurethane (PU) nanocomposite subject to UV radiation. PU samples containing different levels of ZnO nanoparticles were exposed to the NIST Simulated Photodegradation via High Energy Radiant Exposure (SPHERE) UV chamber under both dry (0% RH) and moist (75% RH) conditions at 45 degree C. Chemical and physical properties with exposure times were characterised using multiple spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The results indicated that the studied ZnO nanoparticles acted as a catalyst and accelerated the photodegradation of PU. The photo-catalytic effect was dependent on ZnO concentration and RH. It is suggested that systematical long-term performance study under different exposure environments is important for correctly evaluating the role of nanoparticles on durability and sustainability of polymer nanocomposites.

This review examines the capabilities of nanocalorimeters including specific applications to nanomedicine such as measurements of nanomaterial stability, protein crystallization, ligand-protein binding, phase transitions, phase separations, interfacial reactions, and sorption-desorption phenomena. Widespread adoption of nanotechnology into clinical medicine will require a more complete understanding of the basic properties of nanomaterials, the relationship between nanomaterial processing, and physical properties and a deeper understanding of how nanomaterial physical properties control biological interactions. Nanocalorimetry is suitable where high sensitivity and high-rate thermal and thermodynamic measurements are needed. Because of their small size and rapid measurement speed, nanocalorimeters can be used for single measurements or with high throughput automation.

The most rapid losses are being observed in the Subarctic Pacific, a basin in which oxygen transport into its pycnocline ( approximately 100-500 m depth) occurs in localized regions undergoing changes in ice cover (Okhotsk Sea) or upper ocean stratification (Russian coast). Circulation of these waters brings them into contact with the atmosphere every few decades, then isolates them below a fresh surface layer where remineralization processes remove oxygen and regenerate nutrients. Within the pycnocline, time-series measurements record nutrient increases matching oxygen losses. The enrichment of these waters immediately below the winter mixed layer appears to be counteracting an increasing buoyancy of surface waters, keeping nutrient supply stable over the past several decades. This trend has yet to be realized in models attempting to estimate impacts of global warming on ocean productivity. Denitrification is a common sink for nitrate along continental margins throughout the North Pacific. As oxygen levels decline, an expansion of oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) is predicted to increase rates of nitrate loss and nitrous oxide production. In addition, warming oceans could release methane stored in frozen hydrates, placing new demands on oxygen. Primary productivity in the SAP has not been impacted by increased upper ocean stratification. Our initial understanding of processes allowing the pelagic community to adapt to change suggests a successful future adaptation to climate changes. However, increased storage of nutrients in the upper ocean comes at a cost. Presently, we can only suggest a reduced export either to the subtropics or deep ocean is occurring. Satellite chlorophyll indicates an expansion of the low chlorophyll biome northward, an expected outcome of changing wind patterns. Also, expanding OMZs are predicted to compress habitat, making some species more vulnerable to predation. In coastal waters of the SAP, oxygen levels sharply define habitat for complex assemblages, placing pressure on fish communities including those presently harvested. Habitat loss will compound stresses on these fish and their habitat. Realistic projections of oxygen losses in coastal waters are needed to provide sensible management options.

The comparison assembled 22 participants coming from 16 countries and four different continents. The comparison was divided into two parts: a key comparison that included six National Metrology Institutes or Designated Institutes, and a pilot study including all participants. The global result given by the pilot study confirms that all instruments are absolutely coherent with each other. The results obtained in the key comparison confirm a good agreement between the NMI instruments. Finally, a link to http://iopscience.iop.org/0026-1394/49/1A/07011/ ICAG-2009 shows also that the NMI gravimeters are stable in time. Main text.

N1 - Date revised - 2014-01-01 N1 - Last updated - 2014-07-17 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Mercury stable isotope time trends in cryogenically archived ringed seal livers from the Alaskan Arctic AN - 1520105579; 2014-027753 AB - Because of its long residence time in the atmosphere, gaseous mercury (Hg) emitted from distant anthropogenic sources reaches high latitude regions carried by air flow. Springtime atmospheric Hg depletion events (AMDEs) were early on recognized as a potential key control on Hg entering the Arctic ecosystem. Even if a large amount of AMDE Hg deposited is immediately re-emitted to the atmosphere, the remainder is mobilized by meltwater and transformed by bacteria into methyl-Hg. This neurotoxic form is able to bio-accumulate along the trophic chain and high concentrations are observed in top predators. Global emission Hg trends and AMDEs alone are however unable to explain observed temporal trends in biota Hg in Western and Eastern Arctic sectors. Marine mammal's exposure to MeHg therefore needs additional consideration of physiological, ecological and climate change factors such as feeding behavior, habitat utilization, and sea-ice disappearance. Recent work on arctic seabird eggs has shown a possible link between sea-ice cover and biota Hg isotope signatures. It was inferred that by blocking UV radiation the sea-ice diminishes photochemical breakdown of bioavailable surface ocean MeHg. Here we further explore the potential influence of climate change on Arctic Hg biogeochemistry. We focus on ringed seals, a sea-ice dependent species considered as appropriate Hg biomonitors in the Arctic region. Indeed, their high degree of site fidelity allows spatio-temporal analysis of biomarkers. Hg speciation (inorganic Hg, MMHg) and stable isotopic composition (C, N, Hg) measurements were made on 53 ringed seal liver samples archived at the US Marine Environmental Specimen Bank. Sampling covers a period of 14 years (1988-2002), allowing an accurate time trend analysis. The isotopic signature Delta (super 199) Hg, which is a tracer for inorganic or methyl Hg photochemistry in surface waters, varied from 0.05 to 1.04 ppm. This variation was not related to in-vivo metabolic effects or ecological effects such as feeding habitat (delta (super 13) C) and trophic level (delta (super 15) N). Delta (super 199) Hg shift from +0.37+ or -0.08ppm (SE, n=5) in 1988 to +0.59+ or -0.07ppm (SE, n=7) in 2002, and show a significant increase of 4.8% yearly (R (super 2) =0.70, p*<0.05) in this period. We suggest that this reflect the progressive decrease in sea-ice cover between 1988 and 2002. This is coherent with our previous study.

Although based on a small data set, averaged values of these parameters over a 12 day period with concurrent measurements for the two regions indicated that relative dispersion and diffusivity of drifter pairs were 182 and 52 times greater, respectively, along the reef matrix than found in the lagoon. Relative diffusivities in the southern GBR were anisotropic and varied largely in space and time within the spatial scales of 1-100 km and temporal scales of hours to 16-20 days; they were considerably enhanced by high-frequency tidal processes. Submesoscale processes (<20 km) were important in the southern GBR, particularly in areas with complex topography where secondary circulations around the reefs and regions of steep bathymetry caused abrupt increase in dispersion. Although the dispersion was much higher along the reef matrix, the presence of ring circulations around the islands and wake eddies in the lee of islands can act as trapping mechanisms to keep particles within the reef matrix, retarding the loss to open water areas. This provides an efficient physical mechanism for both enhancing larval connectivity between reefs and, at the same time, trapping larvae when in the vicinity of reefs.

Here we report on oxygen decreases and variability within the eastern equatorial Pacific OMZ. We construct time series from historical and profiling float oxygen data and analyze data from repeat hydrographic sections at 110 degrees W and 85 degrees 50'W. Historical data are quite sparse for constructing oxygen time series, but floats with oxygen sensors prove to be good tools to fill measurement gaps in later parts of these time series. In the region just south of the equator a time series over the last 34 years reveals that oxygen decreases from 200 to 700 m at a rate between 0.50 and 0.83 mu mol kg (super -1) yr (super -1) . This strong decrease seems to be related to changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Oscillations on shorter time scales (e.g., an El Nino signal in the upper 350 m) are superimposed upon this trend. In the section data, a general trend of decreasing oxygen is present below the surface layer. While velocity differences appear related to oxygen differences in the equatorial channel, there is less correlation elsewhere. Contrasting with long-term trend computations, the trends derived from two repeat sections are obscured by the influence of seasonal and longer-term variability. Multidecadal variability (e.g., PDO) has the strongest influence on long-term trends, while El Nino, isopycnal heave, current variability, seasonal cycles, and temperature changes are less important.

Although many study methods can be used interchangeably in these systems (e.g., seepage meters), those that rely on salinity contrasts to distinguish surface water from groundwater (e.g., electrical resistivity profiling) cannot. A schematic spatial framework that was recently developed for dividing submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) phenomena [1] can also be applied to large lakes with some modifications. Some natural radioisotopic tracers of SGD developed in marine systems can be used in freshwater settings [2]. Conversely, a regional approach to examining groundwater occurrence and flow in a watershed containing large lakes, as has been undertaken for the Great Lakes [3], might be productively applied to a coastal ocean region. In addition to the salinity contrasts, one major geochemical difference between discharge of groundwater to fresh or saline surface water is the influence on eutrophication. Because nitrogen is typically the limiting nutrient in marine systems, whereas phosphorus limits productivity in most freshwater systems [4], SGD plays a much larger role in eutrophication of marine systems than in freshwater systems. Dissolved nitrogen species tend to be concentrated in coastal groundwater, but phosphorus is particle reactive and unlikely to be delivered to surface water in large quantities from groundwater in most lakes. Most phosphorus comes from runoff and sediment recycling in freshwater systems. Unusual groundwater vent features have been documented in both marine and lake settings, especially along carbonate-dominated coasts. Among the most spectacular are brackish sinkhole springs in Florida and Lake Huron, the latter of which include extensive purple cyanobacterial mat communities [5]. Significant opportunities exist for advancing understanding of elemental cycling and other features of groundwater/surface water interaction in large water bodies with more exchange of methods and results among scientists that work in marine and freshwater settings.

It is also the primary biological molecule responsible for the organization of mineralized tissue. Bone and teeth are surprisingly complex organic/inorganic hybrid structures mainly composed of type I collagen and the calcium phosphate mineral - hydroxyapatite (HA). These tissues are hierarchically organized from the nanometer to the meter length scales. Traditionally, collagen mineralization was thought to occur by calcium phosphate nucleation and growth processes from dissolved ions. Recently, these ideas have been challenged and the new concept of "non-classical" mineralization has emerged. In biological tissues it is now proposed that the mineralization process starts with the formation of small amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) clusters, which infiltrate collagen, and then transform to form intrafibular HA. We begin to test this new "non-classical" understanding of collagen mineralization by studying the interaction between collagen matrices and colloidally stable/non-reactive gold nanoparticles as models for ACP. We measure in situ changes in collagen matrix mechanical properties after introduction of gold nanoparticles using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The QCM-D data show a particle size dependent interaction, where 2 nm particles strongly interact with the collagen matrix and cause stiffening in the bulk. Larger particles (3 nm - 40 nm) only interact to the surface of the collagen matrix and don't penetrate into the bulk. We observe the same interaction dynamics with both positively and negatively charged nanoparticles. These results have been confirmed through imaging by AFM and FIB/STEM. However, 2 nm particles, which are comparable in dimension to ACP clusters may not fully infiltrate into collagen fibrils. Therefore size alone likely does not fully explain the ability of ACP clusters penetrate into collagen and form mineralized structures. Continuing work focuses on using QCM-D to investigate stabilized calcium phosphate nanoparticles and their interactions with collagen matrices.

However, the data indicate that during glacial times, a water mass low in (super 13) C/ (super 12) C and (super 14) C/C occupied the deep Atlantic, apparently at the expense of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). This water is commonly referred to as "southern-sourced" because of its apparent entry into the Atlantic basin from the South, prompting the inference that it was ventilated at the Southern Ocean surface. Here, we propose that this deep Atlantic water mass actually included a large fraction of North Atlantic-ventilated water, the chemical characteristics of which were altered by recirculation in the deep Southern and Indo-Pacific oceans. In an ocean model sensitivity experiment that reduces Antarctic Bottom Water formation and weakens its overturning circulation, we find that a much greater fraction of NADW is transported into the Southern Ocean without contacting the surface and is entrained and mixed into the southern-sourced deep water that spreads into the global abyssal ocean. Thus, North Atlantic ventilation takes over more of the ocean interior, lowering atmospheric CO (sub 2) , and yet the abyssal Atlantic is filled from the South with old water low in (super 13) C/ (super 12) C and (super 14) C/C, consistent with glacial data.

Spectral analysis shows the presence of a distinct multicentennial timescale of temperature variability. The associated spatial pattern is broad, covering the entire Northern Hemisphere extratropics, but with enhanced amplitude in the Atlantic and Arctic sectors. This variability appears to be driven by interhemispheric fluctuations in oceanic heat transport associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC variability is associated with century-scale propagation of salinity anomalies from the Southern Ocean to the subpolar North Atlantic, with out of phase transport variations between the upper ocean and deeper layers of the Atlantic. When positive (negative) upper ocean salinity anomalies reach the subpolar North Atlantic they strengthen (weaken) the AMOC by modulating upper ocean density and vertical stratification. The large-scale warming also appears to be enhanced by reductions in surface albedo associated with reduced sea-ice and low-level cloudiness, thereby increasing the absorption of shortwave radiation and amplifying the warming from AMOC changes. We speculate that such multicentennial variations in the AMOC could contribute to long-time scale climate fluctuations in the observed paleo record. This could arise purely as internal variability of the climate system, or through radiatively-induced changes to atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the NAO, that would in turn influence the AMOC.

The wave propagation is first simulated with a weakly nonlinear and dispersive Boussinesq model and a non-dispersive shallow-water-equations model. Comparison of the numerical results between these models indicates that tsunami propagation is significantly affected by the frequency dispersion east of Tonga Trench. Neglecting dispersive effects results in larger wave heights and speeds. The strong frequency dispersion is primarily attributed to the dramatic variation of water surface elevations generated by the earthquake doublet, and enhanced by the uneven bathymetry in Tonga Trench. Tsunami propagation is also simulated with MOST ("Method of Splitting Tsunamis"), which is based on the shallow water equations but uses numerical dispersion to mimic physical frequency dispersion at operational resolutions. A good agreement is observed between MOST and the Boussinesq model, as well as the field measurements in the leading wave. In the shorter trailing waves, agreement becomes poorer due to the mismatch between numerical and physical dispersions.

AN - 1473587069; 2013-003565 AB - The 2011 Tohoku tsunami devastated Japan and affected coastal populations all around the Pacific Ocean. Accurate early warning of an impending tsunami requires the detection of the tsunami in the open ocean. While the lead-time was not sufficient for use in warning coastal populations in Japan, satellite altimetry observations of the tsunami could have been used to improve predictions and warnings for other affected areas. By comparing to both model results and historical satellite altimeter data, we use near-real-time satellite altimeter measurements to demonstrate the potential for detecting the 2011 Tohoku tsunami within a few hours of the tsunami being generated. We show how satellite altimeter data could be used to both directly detect tsunamis in the open ocean and also improve predictions made by models.

The upward migrations of the aragonite and calcite saturation horizons, averaging about 1 to 2 m yr (super -1) , are the direct result of the uptake of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) by the oceans and regional changes in circulation and biogeochemical processes. The shoaling of the saturation horizon is regionally variable, with more rapid shoaling in the South Pacific where there is a larger uptake of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) . In some locations, particularly in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre and in the California Current, the decadal changes in circulation can be the dominant factor in controlling the migration of the saturation horizon. If CO (sub 2) emissions continue as projected over the rest of this century, the resulting changes in the marine carbonate system would mean that many coral reef systems in the Pacific would no longer be able to sustain a sufficiently high rate of calcification to maintain the viability of these ecosystems as a whole, and these changes perhaps could seriously impact the thousands of marine species that depend on them for survival.

We present a dataset of delta (super 30) Si values along 103 degrees W in the eastern South Pacific Ocean, ranging from the Antarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean (62 degrees S) to the equatorial Pacific (12 degrees S). At high southern latitudes, the uptake and associated isotope fractionation of Si by diatoms results in highly elevated delta (super 30) Si values (up to +3.2 per mil) in the summer mixed layer. High delta (super 30) Si values (+2 per mil) are also preserved in the high-latitude fossil winter mixed layer, documenting the efficient export of diatom opal beyond the maximum depth of winter convection. This elevated winter mixed layer delta (super 30) Si signature is introduced into the ocean interior by the subduction of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), whose northward spreading results in a strong isopycnal control on lower-thermocline and intermediate delta (super 30) Si values in the well-ventilated eastern South Pacific. Values of delta (super 30) Si are strongly conserved along SAMW and AAIW density levels as far north as 26 degrees S, documenting the importance of the export of preformed Si from the surface Southern Ocean to lower latitudes. In contrast, in the equatorial Pacific, depressed delta (super 30) Si values in the mesopelagic ocean are observed, most likely documenting the combined influence of a North Pacific Si source as well as the accumulation of remineralized Si within the eastern equatorial Pacific shadow zone. At depth, delta (super 30) Si values in the South Pacific remain indistinguishable from deep Southern Ocean values of +1.25 per mil, even within Si-rich and oxygen-poor deep waters returning from the North Pacific. This homogeneity implies that the dissolution of opal plays a negligible role in altering the delta (super 30) Si value of deep waters as they traverse the deep Pacific Ocean.

The resulting bloom products, termed CHL (sub rel) and FLH (sub rel) , respectively, describe the onset and advection of algal blooms as a function of the percent relative change observed in standard 8 day CHL or FLH imagery over time. Bloom product performance was optimized to consider local time scales of biological variability (days) and cloud cover. Comparison of CHL (sub rel) and FLH (sub rel) retrievals to in situ mooring data collected off the central Oregon coast from summer 2009 through winter 2010 shows that the products are a robust means to detect bloom events during the summer upwelling season. Evaluation of winter performance was inconclusive due to persistent cloud cover and limited in situ chl-a records. Pairing the products with coincident in situ physical proxies provides a tool to elucidate the conditions that induce bloom onset and identify the physical mechanisms that affect bloom advection, persistence, and decay. These products offer an excellent foundation for remote bloom detection and monitoring in this region, and the methods developed herein are applicable to any region with sufficient CHL and FLH coverage.

Additionally, ACSPO provides the corresponding BTs simulated with Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM), using Reynolds daily Level 4 (L4) optimum interpolation SST (OISST) and NCEP-GFS profiles as inputs. Accuracy of simulated BTs is critical for ACSPO functionalities, including detecting clouds, retrieving physical SSTs, monitoring sensor performance, and validating CRTM. This paper tests 11 gap-free gridded L4 SSTs for their potential use as first-guess fields in ACSPO to improve accuracy of simulated BTs. As a first step toward the objective, this study checks for consistency between various L4 products and ACSPO L2 SSTs. This SST consistency was shown earlier to be representative of, and equivalent to, the consistency between measured and simulated BTs, thus avoiding expensive CRTM calculations. The metrics employed in L4 comparisons include the global spatial L4-L2 SST biases and variances and their temporal stability. Also, the effect of L4 fields on the corresponding satellite-to-satellite consistency (calculated as L2-L2 double differences) is examined. Several L4 products, including the GHRSST Multi-Product Ensemble and Canadian Meteorological Centre analysis (CMC-0.2 degrees ), show better consistency with ACSPO L2 SST and will be explored in the future versions of ACSPO.

The physical model is the unstructured grid, Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM). The biological model is a NPZD model, including phosphorus as the nutrient, which is the limiting element in Lake Michigan, phytoplankton, zooplankton and detritus. The models are driven by observed hourly meteorological forcing in 1998 and the model results are calibrated by satellite and in situ data. The main physical and ecological phenomena in the spring of 1998 are captured. During March to May, a circle-like phytoplankton bloom appears in southern Lake Michigan, which looks like a 'doughnut'. The formation mechanisms of the prolonged spring bloom are investigated. It is confirmed that the phytoplankton bloom is forced by rapidly increasing temperature and light intensity in spring. The thermal front that develops in spring inhibits the transport of nutrients and phytoplankton from the nearshore to the deeper water. The wind-driven gyre circulation in southern Lake Michigan induces significant offshore transport, which contributes to the establishment of the circular bloom.

We conducted water column surveys and sampling in 2007 and 2009 to search for hydrothermal plumes over a segment of the Carlsberg Ridge. Here we report evidence for two separate vent fields, one near 3 degrees 42'N, 63 degrees 40'E and another near 3 degrees 41.5'N, 63 degrees 50'E, on a segment that is apparently sparsely magmatic. Both sites appear to be located on off-axis highs at the top of the southern axial valley wall, at depths of approximately 3600 m or shallower ( approximately 1000 m above the valley floor). At the 63 degrees 40'E site, plume sampling found local maxima in light scattering, temperature anomaly, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved Mn, and (super 3) He. No water samples are available from the 63 degrees 50'E site, but it showed robust light-scattering and ORP anomalies at multiple depths, implying multiple sources. ORP anomalies are very short-lived, so the strong signals at both sites suggest that fluid sources lie within a few kilometers or less from the plume sampling locations. Although ultramafic rocks have been recovered near these sites, the light-scattering and dissolved Mn anomalies imply that the plumes do not arise from a system driven solely by exothermic serpentinization (e.g., Lost City). Instead, the source fluids may be a product of both ultramafic and basaltic/gabbroic fluid-rock interaction, similar to the Rainbow and Logatchev fields on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Continuous monitoring of gas flux has been achieved in only a few instances at subaerial volcanoes, but never for submarine volcanoes. Here we use the first sustained (yearlong) hydroacoustic monitoring of an erupting submarine volcano (NW Rota-1, Mariana arc) to make calculations of explosive gas flux from a volcano into the ocean. Bursts of Strombolian explosive degassing at the volcano summit (520 m deep) occurred at 1-2 min intervals during the entire 12-month hydrophone record and commonly exhibited cyclic step-function changes between high and low intensity. Total gas flux calculated from the hydroacoustic record is 5.4 + or - 0.6 Tg a (super -1) , where the magmatic gases driving eruptions at NW Rota-1 are primarily H (sub 2) O, SO (sub 2) , and CO (sub 2) . Instantaneous fluxes varied by a factor of approximately 100 over the deployment. Using melt inclusion information to estimate the concentration of CO (sub 2) in the explosive gases as 6.9 + or - 0.7 wt %, we calculate an annual CO (sub 2) eruption flux of 0.4 + or - 0.1 Tg a (super -1) . This result is within the range of measured CO (sub 2) fluxes at continuously erupting subaerial volcanoes, and represents approximately 0.2-0.6% of the annual estimated output of CO (sub 2) from all subaerial arc volcanoes, and approximately 0.4-0.6% of the mid-ocean ridge flux. The multiyear eruptive history of NW Rota-1 demonstrates that submarine volcanoes can be significant and sustained sources of CO (sub 2) to the shallow ocean.

This OIB-type helium signature does not appear in any other part of the Lau Basin. Water column plume surveys conducted in 2008 and 2010 identified several sites of active hydrothermal discharge along the NWLSC-RR and showed that the incidence of hydrothermal activity is high, consistent with the high spreading rate of approximately 100 mm/year. Hydrocasts into the Central Caldera and Southern Caldera of the NWLSC detected elevated (super 3) He/ (super 4) He (delta (super 3) He = 55% and 100%, respectively), trace metals (TMn, TFe), and suspended particles, indicating localized hydrothermal venting at these two sites. Hydrocasts along the northern rift zone of the NWLSC also had excess delta (super 3) He, TMn, and suspended particles suggesting additional sites of hydrothermal activity. The RR are dominated by Lobster Caldera, a large volcano with four radiating rift zones. Hydrocasts into Lobster Caldera in 2008 detected high delta (super 3) He (up to 239%) and suspended particle and TMn signals, indicating active venting within the caldera. A repeat survey of Lobster in 2010 confirmed the site was still active two years later. Plumes at Lobster Caldera and Central Caldera have end-member (super 3) He/ (super 4) He ratios of 19 Ra and 11 Ra, respectively, confirming that hot spot-type helium is also present in the hydrothermal fluids.

In this work we evaluate a historical and future climate simulation over the Colorado River Basin using a 35 km continuous 111 year simulation (1969-2079) of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate model with boundary forcing from the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research/Met Office's HadCM3 model with A2 emission scenario. The focus of this work is to (1) evaluate the simulated spatiotemporal variability of snowfall in the historical period when compared to observations and (2) project changes in snowfall and the fraction of precipitation that falls as snow during the 21st century. We find that the spatial variability in modeled snowfall in the historical period (1981-2005) is realistically represented when compared to observations. The trends of modeled snowfall are similar to the observed trends except at higher elevations. Examining the continuous 111 year simulation, we find the future projections show statistically significant increases in temperature with larger increases in the northern part of the basin. There are statistically insignificant increases in precipitation, while snowfall shows a statistically significant decrease throughout the period in all but the highest elevations and latitudes. The fraction of total precipitation falling as snow shows statistically significant declines in all regions. The strongest decrease in snowfall is seen at high elevations in the southern part of the basin and low elevations in the northern part of the basin. The regions of most intense decreases in snow experience a decline of approximately 50% in snowfall throughout the 111 year simulation period. The regions of strongest declines in snowfall roughly correspond to the region of migration of the zero degree Celsius line and emphasize snowfall dependence on both altitude and latitude.

Urine is the preferred matrix for assessment of human exposure to perchlorate. Although the measurement technique for perchlorate in urine was developed in 2005, the calibration and quality assurance aspects of the metrology infrastructure for perchlorate are still lacking in that there is no certified reference material (CRM) traceable to the International System of Units. To meet the quality assurance needs in biomonitoring measurements of perchlorate and the related anions that affect thyroid health, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), developed Standard Reference Material (SRM) 3668 Mercury, Perchlorate, and Iodide in Frozen Human Urine. SRM 3668 consists of perchlorate, nitrate, thiocyanate, iodine, and mercury in urine at two levels that represent the 50th and 95th percentiles, respectively, of the concentrations (with some adjustments) in the US population. It is the first CRM being certified for perchlorate. Measurements leading to the certification of perchlorate were made collaboratively at NIST and CDC using three methods based on liquid or ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Potential sources of bias were analyzed, and results were compared for the three methods. Perchlorate in SRM 3668 Level I urine was certified to be 2.70 plus or minus 0.21 mu g L(-1) and for SRM 3668 Level II urine, the certified value is 13.47 plus or minus 0.96 mu g L(-1).

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a wide range of SRMs that have mass fraction values assigned for legacy pollutants. These SRMs can also serve as test materials for method development, method validation, and measurement for contaminants of emerging concern. Because inter-laboratory comparison studies have revealed substantial variability of measurements of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), future analytical measurements will benefit from determination of consensus values for PFAAs in SRMs to provide a means to demonstrate method-specific performance. To that end, NIST, in collaboration with other groups, has been measuring concentrations of PFAAs in a variety of SRMs. Here we report levels of PFAAs and perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA) determined in four biological SRMs: fish tissue (SRM 1946 Lake Superior Fish Tissue, SRM 1947 Lake Michigan Fish Tissue), bovine liver (SRM 1577c), and mussel tissue (SRM 2974a). We also report concentrations for three in-house quality-control materials: beluga whale liver, pygmy sperm whale liver, and white-sided dolphin liver. Measurements in SRMs show an array of PFAAs, with perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS).

The hydroacoustic signals provide a unique data set documenting numerous low-magnitude earthquakes along the section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) located in a ridge-hot spot interaction context. During the experiment, 1696 events were detected along the MAR axis between 40 degrees N and 51 degrees N, with a magnitude of completeness level of mb nearly equal 2.4. Inside the array, location errors are in the order of 2 km, and errors in the origin time are less than 1 s. From this catalog, 15 clusters were detected. The distribution of source level (SL) versus time within each cluster is used to discriminate clusters occurring in a tectonic context from those attributed to non-tectonic (i.e. volcanic or hydrothermal) processes. The location of tectonic and non-tectonic sequences correlates well with regions with positive and negative Mantle Bouguer Anomalies (MBAs), indicating the presence of thinner/colder and thicker/warmer crust respectively. At the scale of the entire array, both the complete and declustered catalogs derived from the hydroacoustic signals show an increase of the seismicity rate from the Azores up to 43 degrees 30'N suggesting a diminishing influence of the Azores hot spot on the ridge-axis temperature, and well correlated with a similar increase in the along-axis MBAs. The comparison of the MAR seismicity with the Residual MBA (RMBA) at different scales leads us to think that the low-magnitude seismicity rates are directly related to along-axis variations in lithosphere rheology and temperatures.

TEM, SEM, and other instruments can be used to image size ranges and connectivity of pores in shale, but samples must be dry, and in situ shales are commonly brine-wet. In a pilot study of the accessibility of methane in wet shale, we have studied the penetrability of methane, water, and brine solution into Mississippian Barnett Shale samples using small-angle neutron scattering diffractometers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA, that, combined, can determine pore size distribution over the range 1-10,000 nm. The fraction of pores that were inaccessible to water, brine, and methane was determined using a zero contrast technique. Results show that most of the pores are accessible to both methane and water over a wide size range (10 mu m-10 nm) and that water appears to access more of the <30 nm pores than methane. Most of the pores are associated with a material with a scattering length density of about 3.7-3.8 X 10-6 Aa-2 which is consistent with the pores being located in illite or hydrogen-poor organic material, most likely inertinite. Examination of the samples with high resolution SEM shows that the pores almost exclusively occur in organic material.

A critical dimension of this debate has been the role the government should play in achieving desired growth rates. Nowhere has this struggle been more pronounced than in the debate over rationales for government support for the domestic manufacturing sector. The optimal government role depends on the underlying economics. Adapted from the source document.

Confidence in such estimates is limited by difficulties in calibrating the proxies and systematic differences between proxy reconstructions and model simulations. As the difference between the estimates extends into the relatively recent period of the early nineteenth century it is possible to compare them with a reliable instrumental estimate of the temperature change over that period, provided that enough early thermometer observations, covering a wide enough expanse of the world, can be collected. One organisation which systematically made observations and collected the results was the English East India Company (EEIC), and their archives have been preserved in the British Library. Inspection of those archives revealed 900 log-books of EEIC ships containing daily instrumental measurements of temperature and pressure, and subjective estimates of wind speed and direction, from voyages across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans between 1789 and 1834. Those records have been extracted and digitised, providing 273 000 new weather records offering an unprecedentedly detailed view of the weather and climate of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The new thermometer observations demonstrate that the large-scale temperature response to the Tambora eruption and the 1809 eruption was modest (perhaps 0.5 degrees C). This provides an out-of-sample validation for the proxy reconstructions--supporting their use for longer-term climate reconstructions. However, some of the climate model simulations in the CMIP5 ensemble show much larger volcanic effects than this--such simulations are unlikely to be accurate in this respect.

The region's combination of hydrogeology and nearly century-long use of groundwater has resulted in one of the largest areas of subsidence in the United States; by 1979, as much as 3 meters (m) of subsidence had occurred, and approximately 8,300 square kilometers of land had subsided more than 0.3 m. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District, used interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data obtained for four overlapping scenes from European remote sensing satellites ERS-1 and ERS-2 to analyze land subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region of Texas. The InSAR data were processed into 27 interferograms that delineate and quantify land-subsidence patterns and magnitudes. Contemporaneous data from the Global Positioning System (GPS) were reprocessed by the National Geodetic Survey and analyzed to support, verify, and provide temporal resolution to the InSAR investigation. The interferograms show that the area of historical subsidence in downtown Houston along the Houston Ship Channel has stabilized and that recent subsidence occurs farther west and north of Galveston Bay. Three areas of recent subsidence were delineated along a broad arcuate (bowshaped) feature from Spring, Tex., southwest to Cypress, Tex., and south to Sugar Land, Tex., with subsidence rates ranging from 15 millimeters per year (mm/yr) to greater than 60 mm/yr. Multiyear interferograms near Seabrook, Tex., within the historical subsidence area and nearby Galveston Bay, show several fringes of subsidence (approximately 85 millimeters from January 1996 to December 1997) in the area; however it is difficult to determine the subsidence magnitude near Seabrook because many of the InSAR fringes were truncated or ill-defined. Horizontal and vertical GPS data throughout the area support the InSAR measured subsidence rates and extent. The subsidence rates for a few GPS stations northwest of Houston began to decrease in 2007, which may indicate that subsidence may be decreasing in these areas.

After generating millions of potential ecosystems with randomly selected functional response parameters, we assigned groups of these randomly parameterized systems to one of five increasingly intense ecosystem-wide fishing treatments. For each fishing treatment, we counted and compared resulting ecosystems with no extinctions. Surprisingly, the model GOA ecosystems were robust to a wide range of functional response parameters. However, we found an abrupt threshold effect between moderate and heavy exploitation rates, beyond which a much lower proportion of model ecosystems persisted. Beyond this fishing threshold, extinction was more likely, and system attributes differed greatly from moderately fished model ecosystems.Original Abstract: Nous avons explore l'incertitude associee aux parametres de reponse fonctionnelle et ses effets sur les resultats de simulations de peche a l'aide d'un modele dynamique des reseaux trophiques du golfe de l'Alaska (GOA) incluant 14 flottilles de peche, 104 groupes de consommateurs, quatre groupes de producteurs primaires et cinq reservoirs de detritus. Apres avoir genere des millions d'ecosystemes potentiels caracterises par des parametres de reponse fonctionnelle choisis aleatoirement, nous avons affecte des groupes de ces systemes aleatoirement parametres a l'un ou l'autre de cinq traitements de peche d'intensite croissante a l'echelle des ecosystemes. Pour chaque traitement de peche, nous avons compte et compare les ecosystemes sans extinction en decoulant. Fait surprenant, les ecosystemes modeles du GOA etaient robustes pour une grande fourchette de parametres de reponse fonctionnelle.

The two main polarimetric signatures indicated for this diagnosis include an arc of Z sub(DR) along the right inflow edge of the thunderstorm near or collocated with a large gradient in horizontal reflectivity, Z sub(H), (indicative of regions of preferentially large raindrops) and a region of enhanced K sub(DP) located deeper into the forward flank precipitation s hield than the Z sub(DR) arc (indicating that the smaller drops are preferentially adverted farther from the updraft core by the low-level winds). Three severe weather events in North Alabama were examined to assess the utility of these Z sub(DR) and K sub(DP) signatures in determining the potential for tomadic activity. The cases were: 26 October 2010, when many storms indicated tomadic potential from a standard reflectivity and velocity analysis, but very few storms actually produced tornadoes; 28 February2011, a broken line event that transitioned from a tomadic to high wind threat; and 27 April 2011, when multiple rounds of tomadic storms, associated with quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) and supercells, thrashed the Tennessee Valley. All three cases displayed strong evidence of Z sub(DR) arcs and horizontal separation of K sub(DP) and Z sub(DR) during tomadic periods. In addition, non-tomadic storms showed consistent signatures of overlapping dual-pol fields. While some variations remain between supercell, broken line, and QLCS tornadoes, common signatures among all storm types indicate a potentially broad application of this type of signature recognition.

The degree to which relative humidity and wind speed exceed these local thresholds, however, is not quantified routinely via current warning products. This study will introduce a Red Rag Threat Index (RFTI) to express the severity of observed or forecast fire weather conditions. This Index, patterned after the widely-used Haines Index, incorporates forecast and/or observed 2-m relative humidity and 6-m wind speed and is derived bya summation of numerical terms for these commonly used variables in fire weather prediction. The value of these terms is determined from quartile rankings of nearly 2,300 critical fire weather observations across west Texas. With scores that range from 0 ("Non-Critical") to 10 ("Historically Critical"), the RFTI is intended to increase situatjonal awareness for fire weather forecasters and to convey risk levels to fire managers and decision makers while providing an important tool in assessing the severity of critical fire weather relative to climatology. Utility of the RFTI is demonstrated through an analysis of its correlation to a pre-existing database of meteorological proximity observations for significant wildfire starts. This index is well suited for use in operational forecast environments and adaptable to any location or climate regime, especially those vulnerable to wind-driven fires in fine fuels.

However, high-resolution hail databases are essential for meaningful hail studies utilizing radar base products and for the development and refinement of hail algorithms. Today, many broadcast and print media outlets provide supplemental social media forums where the public, aimed with a wide array of digital cameras and mobile devices with photo and application software capabilities, can submit reports of severe weather. These technologies and social media web sites have the potential to serve as a substantial resource for additional meteorological observations. To illustrate the utility of reports from social media and post-storm ground surveys, hail information was gathered and analyzed from a notable hail event that occurred across the Wichita, Kansas, metropolitan area on 15 September 2010. A total of 464 hail size data points were obtained within a similar to 648 km 2 (250 mi2) area, with 94% of the reports originating from social media and the hail survey. Additionally, social media and the post-storm ground survey identified eight hailstones that exceeded the diameter of the previous state record, with the largest diameter measured at 197 mm (7.75 in.). The has the additional benefit of photographic documentation for approximately 93% of the hail data points in the study.

Seasonal climatology, pre-event synoptic conditions and a thorough diagnosis of ongoing processes in the hours leading up to the event all suggested dense fog formation was likely. Mesoscale model forecasts of outgoing longwave radiation between 200-300 W m-2 and eventual sensible cloud heights <150 m yielded initial clues as to when the dense fog may form and how it maybe distributed. Subsequent temporal resolution observational confirmation regarding the development timing and location of the fog and an ability to adjust the forecast based on the latest available fog product. Although polar orbiting satellite data are received relatively infrequently, it is shown how utilizing these during an evolving fog situation may either grant or dissuade a forecaster's confidence regarding the outcome.

Signal Detection Theory is used to evaluate these methods in order to identify the method that best discriminates between severe and non-severe hail producing thunderstorms. The altitude of the 50-dBZ reflectivity echo relative to the melting level is identified as the most effective hail detection method of those methods tested in this study. Signal Detection Theory is then applied to this method to determine which warning decision threshold will maximize Probability of Detection while minimizing false alarms.

This event was partly responsible for setting a monthly record rainfall total at Miami Beach. What was unique about the thunderstorm activity was its long duration and nearly stationary motion. It also exhibited high precipitation efficiency, with rainfall rates in excess of 101.6 mm (4 in.) per hour. In this paper, we identify ways in which this relatively rare event may have been anticipated based upon available upper-air data, identification of heavy rainfall ingredients involved, consideration of supercell motion, and the use of very high resolution atmospheric models. The background synoptic environment is also addressed, which featured a surface front near the storm, and an onshore component of the low-level flow. Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations are used to illustrate the role that mesoscale convergence zones may have played in exacerbating the event. Finally, two other similar cases are considered for purposes of comparison. This paper ultimately seeks to aid in the short-term anticipation of potential flash floods in association with non-tropical, deep-moist convection in south Florida.

The Educational Path of Our Nation AN - 1312418824; ED537268 AB - Education plays a fundamental role in American society. This paper takes a look at school enrollment, costs and educational outcomes. How does school enrollment today compare with 1970, when the baby boom generation was in its prime years of school attendance (age 6 to 24) and made up 90 percent of all students enrolled in school? What do people earn with a college degree? How much does one spend on schools? The American Community and other Census Bureau surveys provide information to answer these and other valuable questions. Education statistics are vital to communities in determining funding allocations and guiding program planning.

These sustainability benefits are often tempered by practical constructability limitations that may exist for HVFA concretes: retardation and diminution of the early-age reaction, delay in setting (and finishing operations), and lower early-age strength. This paper explores the alleviation of these deficiencies in HVFA mixtures by the incorporation of fine limestone powders into ternary blends. Isothermal calorimetry and Vicat needle penetration measurements are employed to assess reaction rates and setting times, respectively. A systematic variation of the content and fineness of the limestone powder in mixtures containing either a Class C or a Class F fly ash indicates that setting times are linearly correlated with the surface area supplied by the limestone. Comparison of a limestone system to a system containing an inert titanium dioxide of similar particle size indicates that the acceleration and amplification effects of the limestone can be attributed to both physical (nucleation) and chemical (additional calcium ions) processes. The results indicate that ternary blends with 40% of the cement by volume replaced by 30% to 35% fly ash and 5% to 10% limestone at a constant water volume fraction can be achieved without significant delay in setting.

The simulated volume transport by the Loop Current (LC) is reduced considerably by 20-25% during the 21st century, consistent with a similar rate of reduction in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The effect of the LC in the present climate is to warm the GoM, therefore the reduced LC and the associated weakening of the warm LC eddy have a cooling impact in the GoM, particularly in the northern basin. Due to this cooling influence, the northern GoM is characterized as the region of minimal warming. Low-resolution models, such as the IPCC-AR4 models, underestimate the reduction of the LC and its cooling effect, thus fail to simulate the reduced warming feature in the northern GoM. The potential implications of the reduced warming in the northern GoM on pelagic fish species and their spawning patterns are also discussed.

Historical inorganic carbon measurements are scarce, so the progression of OA in the CCS is unknown. We used a multiple linear regression approach to generate empirical models using oxygen (O (sub 2) ), temperature (T), salinity (S), and sigma theta (sigma (sub theta ) ) as proxy variables to reconstruct pH, carbonate saturation states, carbonate ion concentration ([CO (sub 3) (super 2-) ]), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration, and total alkalinity (TA) in the southern CCS. The calibration data included high-quality measurements of carbon, oxygen, and other hydrographic variables, collected during a cruise from British Columbia to Baja California in May-June 2007. All resulting empirical relationships were robust, with r (super 2) values >0.92 and low root mean square errors. Estimated and measured carbon chemistry matched very well for independent data sets from the CalCOFI and IMECOCAL programs. Reconstructed CCS pH and saturation states for 2005-2011 reveal a pronounced seasonal cycle and inter-annual variability in the upper water column. Deeper in the water column, conditions are stable throughout the annual cycle, with perennially low pH and saturation states. Over sub-decadal time scales, these empirical models provide a valuable tool for reconstructing carbonate chemistry related to ocean acidification where direct observations are limited. However, progressive increases in anthropogenic CO (sub 2) content of southern CCS water masses must be carefully addressed to apply the models over longer time scales.

The balance of these gradients determines the temperature versus salinity control at the mixed layer depth (MLD). We define the MLD as the shallowest of the isothermal, isohaline, and isopycnal layer depths (ITLD, IHLD, and IPLD), each with a shared dependence on a 0.2 degrees C temperature offset. Data are gridded monthly using a variational technique that minimizes the squared analysis slope and data misfit. Surface layers of vertically uniform temperature, salinity, and density have substantially different characteristics. By examining differences between IPLD, ITLD, and IHLD, we determine the annual evolution of temperature or salinity or both temperature and salinity vertical gradients responsible for the observed MLD. We find ITLD determines MLD for 63% and IHLD for 14% of the global ocean. The remaining 23% of the ocean has both ITLD and IHLD nearly identical. It is found that temperature tends to control MLD where surface heat fluxes are large and precipitation is small. Conversely, salinity controls MLD where precipitation is large and surface heat fluxes are small. In the tropical ocean, salinity controls MLD where surface heat fluxes can be moderate but precipitation is very large and dominant.

Ship observations from three Gas Exchange (GasEx) experiments conducted in 1998 (GasEx-98), 2001 (GasEx-01), and 2008 (SO GasEx) were used to validate the satellite estimates. Satellite retrievals of near-surface temperature, humidity, and wind speed along with observations of sea surface temperature, longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes at the surface were used to execute the gas transfer model. These satellite products exhibited good agreement with collocated in situ measurements even in higher-latitude environments where the retrieval techniques had not yet been extensively validated. Transfer velocities computed with COAREG using both the satellite- and ship-derived inputs further showed good agreement with an overall bias of -1.01 cm/h and a root mean square (RMS) difference of 7.43 cm/h. These results imply that COAREG can be applied with satellite inputs with accuracy comparable to that achieved with ship-based observations. COAREG transfer velocities were found to have a bias of 6.32 cm/h and RMS difference of 14.02 cm/h when compared with covariance-derived transfer velocities. Comparison of satellite-derived COAREG transfer velocities with empirical-derived wind-only models shows generally higher transfer velocities for wind speeds exceeding 7 m/s. However, these higher transfer velocities show good agreement with covariance-derived observations from both GasEx-98 and SO GasEx.

Injections of SF (sub 6) defined two water masses (patches) that were followed for up to 2 weeks. In the first patch, dissolved O (sub 2) /Ar was supersaturated, indicating net biological production of organic carbon. In the second patch, rapidly decreasing O (sub 2) /Ar could only be reasonably explained if the mixed layer was experiencing a period of net heterotrophy. The observations rule out dominant contributions from vertical mixing, lateral dilution, or respiration in the ship's underway seawater supply lines. We also compare nine different estimates of net community, new, primary, or gross production made during the experiment. Net community and new production estimates agreed well in the first patch but disagreed in the second patch, both during an initial net heterotrophic period but also during the apparently autotrophic period at the end of the observations. Rapidly changing productivity during the second patch complicated the comparison of methods that integrate over daily and several week timescales. Primary productivity values from on-deck 24 h (super 14) C incubations and gross carbon production values from photosynthesis-irradiance experiments were nearly identical even during highly dynamic periods of net heterotrophy, while gross oxygen production measurements were 3.5-4.2 times higher but with uncertainties in that ratio near + or -2. These comparisons show that the photosynthesis-irradiance experiments based on 1-2 h (super 14) C incubations underestimated gross carbon production.

Primary productivity estimated from (super 14) C incubations ranged from 26.7 to 47.2 mmol C m (super -2) d (super -1) in the first experiment (Patch 1) and 13.7 to 39.4 mmol C m (super -2) d (super -1) in the second experiment (Patch 2). Nitrate-based productivity estimated from (super 15) NO (sub 3) incubations ranged from 5.8 to 13.1 mmol C m (super -2) d (super -1) in Patch 1 and 1.9 to 7.1 mmol C m (super -2) d (super -1) in Patch 2. The average ratio of nitrate-based productivity to primary productivity (approximating the f ratio) was 0.24 in Patch 1 and 0.15 in Patch 2. Chlorophyll concentrations for both patches were less than 1 mg m (super -3) . Photochemical efficiency (F (sub v) /F (sub m) ) was low ( approximately 0.3) in Patch 1 and moderate ( approximately 0.45) in Patch 2. Si(OH) (sub 4) concentrations were potentially limiting (<1 mmol m (super -3) for Patch 1 and approximately 3 mmol m (super -3) for Patch 2), while NH (sub 4) (super +) concentrations were elevated ( approximately 1 mmol m (super -3) for Patch 1 and approximately 2.2 mmol m (super -3) for Patch 2) compared with typical open ocean Antarctic Zone water. We hypothesize that Patch 1 productivity was regulated by the availability of Si(OH) (sub 4) , while Patch 2 productivity was regulated by grazers. Primary production and nitrate-based production (as a proxy for C export) determined here provide components for a mixed layer carbon budget from which the air-sea flux of CO (sub 2) will be quantified.

Augmentation sediment pulses rely on flow releases to move the material downstream and create conditions conducive to salmon spawning and rearing. Yet how sediment pulses respond to flow releases is often unknown. Here we explore how three types of dam releases (constant flow, small hydrograph, and large hydrograph) impact sediment transport and pulse behavior (translation and dispersion) in a channel with forced bar-pool morphology. We use the term sediment "pulse" generically to refer to the sediment introduced to the channel, the zone of pronounced bed material transport that it causes, and the sediment wave that may form in the channel from the additional sediment supply, which can include input sediment and bed material. In our experiments, we held the volume of water released constant, which is equivalent to holding the cost of purchasing a water volume constant in a stream restoration project. The sediment pulses had the same grain size as the bed material in the channel. We found that a constant flow 60% greater than the discharge required to initiate sediment motion caused a mixture of translation and dispersion of the sediment pulse. A broad crested hydrograph with a peak flow 2.5 times the discharge required for entrainment caused pulse dispersion, while a more peaked hydrograph >3 times the entrainment threshold discharge caused pulse dispersion with some translation. The hydrographs produced a well-defined clockwise hysteresis effecting sediment transport, as is often observed for fine-sediment transport and transport-limited gravel bed rivers. The results imply a rational basis for design of water releases associated with gravel augmentation that is directly linked to the desired sediment behavior.

Observed GOP and NCP in the subtropical (89+ or -9 and 8.3+ or -1.3 mmol O (sub 2) m (super -2) d (super -1) , respectively) and subarctic (193+ or -16 and 16.3+ or -3.8 mmol O (sub 2) m (super -2) d (super -1) ) were in agreement with rates previously determined at time series stations in each region, validating the regional representativeness of these sites. At the transition zone chlorophyll front (TZCF), which migrates seasonally from 32 degrees N in spring to 40 degrees N in summer, GOP and NCP were elevated by 2-4X compared to adjacent areas. Coincident with the TZCF, increases in surface nitrate concentration and extensive changes in phytoplankton community composition were observed. HPLC pigment data indicated substantial increases in a prymnesiophyte (e.g., coccolithophore) biomarker at the TZCF on a spring and summer cruise, and a diatom biomarker on the spring cruise. Increases in remotely sensed surface particulate inorganic carbon concentration were also observed at the TZCF on all four cruises, indicating that coccolithophore production may contribute to increased productivity at the TZCF. Meridional trends in observed air-sea CO (sub 2) flux on each cruise resembled those of the biologically induced CO (sub 2) flux (NCP), but with an overprinting of the response of air-sea CO (sub 2) exchange to summer warming. A simple carbon budget based on regional CO (sub 2) flux climatology demonstrates the importance of NCP for net annual air-sea CO (sub 2) uptake, although slow air-sea equilibration and seasonal solubility effects obscure this term.

The use of volcanic ash transport and dispersion models allows analysts to determine the future location of ash clouds. In April-May 2010, Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland erupted explosively. Presented here is an evaluation of the volcanic application of the weather research and forecasting in-line chemistry model (WRF-Chem) applied to Eyjafjallajokull. The analysis focuses on the first few days of the explosive events, April 14-19. The model simulations are presented along with multiple satellite and ground based tools to compare and validate the results. The WRF-Chem results showed the ash cloud dispersing toward mainland Europe, with concentrations crossing Europe between 0.5-2.0 mg/m (super 3) , centered at 5 km ASL, +/-1 km. Comparisons with satellite volcanic ash retrievals showed a good agreement and ground-based Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data compared well to the model simulations. The analysis in this manuscript has illustrated the use of WRF-Chem for volcanic eruptions, with the coupled numerical weather simulation and ash forecasting important to understand the local atmospheric conditions as well as the ash cloud distribution. We show that to fully forecast ash concentrations, to the level of mg's per m (super 3) , there is a need for accurate knowledge of the plume height; mass eruption rate; particle size distribution and duration along with a fusion of all data. Then accurate hazard assessments can be performed to limit the impact that dispersing clouds have on the aviation community and population.

Despite the extreme simplicity of the model, which includes just the two gravest baroclinic mode Kelvin waves and first meridional mode Rossby waves, simulated surface zonal velocity and sea surface height compare very well with observations. Both observations and model are characterized by a red shift in the velocity spectrum relative to the wind forcing spectrum, which is attributable to a combination of factors, including (1) the near resonant excitation of Kelvin waves by eastward propagating winds, (2) constructive interference between wind-forced waves and Rossby waves reflected from the eastern boundary, and (3) the favored excitation of low-frequency waves whose zonal wavelengths are long compared to the zonal fetch of the wind. We decomposed variability in two broad period bands, namely, 30-70 days and 70-110 days, for detailed analysis. At periods of 30-70 days, zonal velocity tends to be stationary in the directly forced region along the equator owing to the competing contributions of Kelvin and Rossby waves. In contrast, at 70-110 day periods, zonal velocity propagates westward despite eastward propagation of zonal wind stress because of the combined influence of eastern boundary generated and wind-forced Rossby waves. Kelvin waves reflected from the western boundary are negligibly small, indicating that basin mode resonances are not prominent as has been previously suggested.

Previous efforts explored overall uncertainties in the buoy measurements, but did not quantify differences in the performance of different buoy types. Here, drifting and moored buoys stratified into open-ocean and coastal, were evaluated by manufacturer (drifters) and buoy program (moorings) to identify significant deviations in their suitability for satellite validation. Biases and standard deviations were computed for differences between the buoy SST measurements and two satellite references: the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer SST product from Remote Sensing Systems and the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office K10 analysis. No significant differences were found among the various drifting and tropical moored buoys, regardless of the manufacturer/program. The largest deviations were observed for the non-tropical moored buoys possibly in part due to calibration differences. In general, coastal buoys exhibited greater standard deviations associated with increased physical variability within the coastal regions. Tropical moored buoys showed smaller standard deviations than for the drifters resulting from better quality measurements or reduced variability in the tropics. Large deviations between the coastal moorings and the SST references appeared linked to coastal currents with upwelling, rather than buoy performance. Coastal moorings provided sampling of small-scale coastal variability, not resolved in satellite products, offering the potential for improving poorly parameterized coastal SSTs. Differences due to diurnal warming were largely eliminated by constraining collocations between the satellite and the buoy to + or -1 h. Overall, most buoy types appear suitable for satellite SST validation.

The experiment was conducted along the Indiana coast of southern Lake Michigan, with temperature and velocity moorings arranged in a cross-shelf transect that extended to approximately 20 km from shore (40 m depth). The field site is noteworthy because of its location at the end of a major axis of an elliptical Great Lake, the relatively mild bathymetric slope, and local shoreline orientation that is perpendicular relative to the dominant summer winds. Measurements demonstrate that the location of the thermocline-bottom intersection is highly variable, causing a wide zone of extreme thermal variability in the nearshore region with time scales of variability ranging from hours to months. Near-inertial internal Poincare waves are shown to cause large thermocline excursions but primarily only during periods of elevated activity. Several full upwelling events were observed, but in general, they were brief, lasting only 1-2 days, and had very limited spatial extent (2.5 km or less). Nonetheless, the offshore extent of the upwelling front was shown to be reasonably estimated with a simple estimate of the cross-shelf transport caused by alongshore wind events. A persistent feature that determined the zone of elevated thermal variability (the thermocline-shelf intersection point) was the strongly tilted thermocline, which resulted in the thermocline being located very close to shore.

Our study confirms that a mantle hotspot signature is present in the neon isotopes of both the Rochambeau Rifts and the Northwest Lau Spreading Center (NWLSC), just as it is in the helium isotopes. Furthermore, the Ne isotope signature in the Rochambeau Rifts lava having the highest (super 3) He/ (super 4) He ratio (28 R (sub a) ) most closely resembles that observed previously in the highest (super 3) He/ (super 4) He lavas from Samoa. The coupled He-Ne isotope systematics are further evidence for incursion into this region of material derived from the Samoan mantle plume.

The skill of both reconstruction methods is determined using proxy data targeting the western region of North America. The results are compared to those targeting the same region, but derived from non-informative predictors comprising red-noise time series reflecting the full temporal autoregressive structure of the proxy network. All experiments are performed as probabilistic ensembles, providing estimated Monte Carlo distributions of reconstruction skill. Results demonstrate that the CFR skill distributions from proxy data are statistically distinct from and outperform the corresponding skill distributions generated from non-informative predictors; similar relative performance is demonstrated for the index reconstructions. In comparison to the CFR results using proxy information, the index reconstructions exhibit similar skill in calibration, but somewhat less skill in validation and a tendency to underestimate the amplitude of the validation period mean.

We sampled the front with an unusually extensive array of instrumentation, including the Continuous Underway Fish Egg Sampler (CUFES), the undulating In Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System (ISIIS) (fitted with temperature, salinity, oxygen, and fluorescence sensors), multifrequency acoustics, a surface pelagic trawl, a bongo net, and a neuston net. We found higher fluorescence and greater cladoceran, decapod, and euphausiid densities in the front, indicating increased primary and secondary production. Mesopelagic fish were most abundant in oceanic waters to the west of the front, market squid were abundant in the front associated with higher krill and decapod densities, and jack mackerel were most common in the front and on the shoreward side of the front. Egg densities peaked to either side of the front, consistent with both offshore (for oceanic squid and mesopelagic fish) and shelf origins (for white croaker and California halibut). We discovered unusually high concentrations of predatory narcomedusae in the surface layer of the frontal zone. Potential ichthyoplankton predators were more abundant either in the front (decapods, euphausiids, and squid) or shoreward of the front (medusae, chaetognaths, and jack mackerel). For pelagic fish like sardine, which can thrive in less productive waters, the safest place to spawn would be offshore because there are fewer potential predators.

Temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo Program allow construction and analysis of a global, monthly, mixed layer climatology. Temperature changes dominate the seasonal cycle of mixed layer density in most regions, but salinity changes are dominant in the tropical warm pools, Arctic, and Antarctic. Under the Intertropical Convergence Zone, temperature and salinity work in concert to increase seasonal stratification, but the seasonal density changes there are weak because the temperature and salinity changes are small. In the eastern subtropics, seasonal salinity changes partly compensate those in temperature and reduce seasonal mixed layer density changes. Besides a hemispheric seasonal reversal, the times of maximum and minimum mixed layer density exhibit regional variations. For instance, the equatorial region is more closely aligned with Southern Hemisphere timing, and much of the North Indian Ocean has a minimum density in May and June. Outside of the tropics, the maximum mixed layer density occurs later in the winter toward the poles, and the minimum earlier in the summer. Finally, at the times of maximum mixed layer density, some of the ocean has horizontal temperature and salinity gradients that work against each other to reduce the horizontal density gradient. However, on the equatorial sides of the subtropical salinity maxima, temperature and salinity gradients reinforce each other, increasing the density gradients there. Density gradients are generally stronger where either salinity or temperature gradients are dominant influences.

The first mode of a complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) decomposition of zonal geostrophic velocity in the NECC region reveals pronounced latitudinal displacements in addition to variations in current strength. While north-south migrations of the NECC are mainly captured by the real pattern, the imaginary pattern accounts for variations in its strength. Associated with these spatial patterns is prevailing propagation toward the northwest that is most pronounced northward of the mean NECC position ( approximately 6 degrees N). There is evidence that the zonal propagation characteristics are consistent with long Rossby waves forced in the northeastern tropical Atlantic. The relationship between interannual NECC variations and the tropical Atlantic climate modes is investigated through regression and composite analyses. Sea surface temperature and wind stress patterns resembling the meridional and zonal modes are found for the CEOF regression. Composite analysis further shows consistent patterns for warm phases of the meridional mode and cold phases of the zonal mode; the response of the NECC to a positive meridional and negative zonal mode event may be viewed as a northward shift of its core and a current strengthening, respectively. These results support a link between the two dominant tropical Atlantic climate modes and show that the relation between interannual NECC variability and the meridional and zonal modes can primarily be regarded as a response to changes in the wind field.

The upper ocean stratification, defined here as the density difference between 200 m and the surface, is larger everywhere during the second half of the 21st century, indicative of an increasing degree of decoupling between the surface and the deeper oceans, with important consequences for many biogeochemical processes. The areas characterized by the largest stratification changes include the Arctic, the tropics, the North Atlantic, and the northeast Pacific. The increase in stratification is primarily due to the increase in surface temperature, whose influence upon density is largest in the tropical regions, and decreases with increasing latitude. The influence of salinity upon the stratification changes, while not as spatially extensive as that of temperature, is very large in the Arctic, North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific. Salinity also significantly contributes to the density decrease near the surface in the western tropical Pacific, but counteracts the negative influence of temperature upon density in the tropical Atlantic.

To further understand the relationship between invsrted-V soundings and severe weather over New York and Pennsylvania, a study of severe weather events in this area was conducted. The goals of the study were: (1) to examine a group of major severe weather events associated with upstream, observed inverted-V sounding profiles; (2) to develop insight on the characteristics of the environments associated with these events; and (3) to examine the utility of observed, upstream soundings for anticipating these events. During the period of study, it was found that just less than 40 percent of major, severe weather events occurred with a subjectively determined, upstream inverted-V profile, based on data from the 12 UTC Buffalo and or Pittsburgh sounding sites. Additional analysis from a set of objectively determined events indicated that the majority of these cases occurred during the warm season and were associated with a disproportionately large number of damaging wind reports. Linear convective events within this group were especially dominated by damaging wind reports, while non-linear convection was associated with a more even distribution of damaging winds and other types of severe weather. The majority of these outbreaks were associated with progressive surface cold fronts or surface troughs. Examination of the observed soundings from these cases indicated that they were mostly associated with small amounts of CAPE, moderately large downdraft CAPE (DCAPE), and a wide range of forecast CAPE (FCST CAPE). A wide range of 0-3 and 0-6 km mean wind speeds was found, with values less than 50 kt. Observed storm motions were mostly faster than the mean wind. Composites and corresponding anomalies of the synoptic-scale patterns associated with these events indicated mid-tropospheric troughs over the northern Great Lakes and ridges over the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic region, strong mid-tropospheric zonal wind flow over the lower Great Lakes, large, positive lower-tropospheric temperature anomalies over the northern mid-Atlantic region, and corresponding large, negative lower-tropospheric relative humidity anomalies. Finally, a subset of major events characterized by little to no FCST CAPE was identified. It was found that the characteristics of the major events listed above were particularly pronounced for these events. Two case studies of convective events associated with upstream, observed inverted-V soundings are examined. The cases are shown to illustrate conditions associated with a major event and to compare and contrast those conditions with an event that produced little severe weather. The similarity in some of the fields associated with these two events demonstrates that it can sometimes be difficult to discriminate between major and minor events a priori in an operational setting. However, it is shown that diagnostics associated with the strength of the meso-scale and synoptic scale forcing associated with these cases maybe useful to discriminate between a major and minor event.

Design/methodology/approach : Panel data from television stations in the USA is used to investigate the impact of a group of market-specific and firm-specific factors on the level of barter advertisement. Findings : The results from the random effects regressions show that general economic conditions in the national market, such as unemployment and inflation, profitability of the station, and events such as the Olympics and election cycles affect the level of barter among television stations. Originality/value : This paper contributes to filling a significant void in the empirical microeconomic analysis of barter transaction by providing an example from the broadcasting industry.

When coupled to light scattering (both multiangle static and quasi-elastic), viscometric, and refractometric detectors, HDC can determine the molar mass, size, shape, and structure of colloidal analytes continuously and as a function of one another, all in a single analysis. In so doing, it exposes the analytes to less shear force (and, hence, less potential for flow-induced degradation) than in, for instance, size-exclusion chromatography. In this review, we discuss the fundamental chromatographic underpinnings of this technique in terms of retention, band broadening, and resolution, and we describe the power of multidetector HDC with examples from the recent literature.

We used nonlinear time series analysis to determine (1) the presence of nonlinear dynamics in fish populations on Georges Bank, (2) the minimum number of dimensions required to effectively describe system dynamics, (3) the strength of patterns of co-predictability among all possible pairs of fish species, and (4) identification of groups of species characterized by similar dynamics. Here, nonlinear behavior refers to non-equilibrium dynamics, including chaos. The population trajectories of all 26 species exhibited strong density-dependent feedback as indicated by a Partial Rate Correlation Function analysis. Significant evidence of complex dynamical behavior was found for approximately 1 in 5 species. Low dimensionality for many of the individual series was identified, suggesting that for a given level of predictability, this system can be represented by a relatively small number of critically important ecological variables. Further, we found high levels of co-predictability among pairwise combinations of individual species. We identified 4 major species groups sharing similar dynamic features on the basis of patterns of co-predictability, and explored potential mechanisms for interpreting the groupings in terms of trophic interactions and life history characteristics.

It reaches its southern limit of distribution in the western Gulf of Maine (GOM), where temperature is thought to play an important role in its stock dynamics. We examined recruitment dynamics of northern shrimp P. borealis in the GOM from 1968 to 2011 and before and after 1999, when a shift to warmer temperatures occurred (Friedland & Hare 2007). Recruitment was related to temperature during all 3 time periods and was related to the reproductive output of the population from 1968 to 2011 and 1968 to 1999 but not in the most recent period (2000 to 2011). Colder temperatures during the pelagic larval stage were associated with higher recruitment. Recruitment variability increased coincident with the 1999 temperature shift; other changes in the physical environment and lower trophic levels of the GOM have been seen as well. Whether the increase in recruitment variability signals a regime shift in the GOM is not yet clear. Increasing the reproductive potential of GOM northern shrimp through conservation measures could help compensate for increasingly unfavorable environmental conditions (warming) and increase the chances of preserving this population and its ecological role in the GOM.

Despite the curtailment of subsistence hunting in 1999, the abundance of Cook Inlet belugas has remained low (<400 whales), with no obvious signs of recovery. As habitat is a critical component of population viability, our goal was to identify habitat selected by beluga whales. We developed predictive habitat models from the distribution and group size of beluga whales observed between 1994 and 2008. We fit a 2-part hurdle model to describe the physical and anthropogenic factors that influence (1) beluga presence (mixed model logistic regression) and (2) beluga count data (mixed model Poisson regression). Beluga presence was negatively associated with sources of anthropogenic disturbance and positively associated with fish availability and access to tidal flats and sandy substrate. Beluga group size was positively associated with tidal flats and proxies for seasonally available fish. We produced habitat maps for beluga presence, group size, and the expected number of belugas in each 1 km super(2) cell of Cook Inlet. These maps distinguish suitable habitat which could prove integral to the sustainability and recovery of the Cook Inlet beluga whale population.

In the USA, Environmental Assessments or Environmental Impact Statements evaluating potential impacts are required, and these must include information on the expected number of cetaceans in specific areas where activities will occur. Typically, however, such information is only available for broad geographic regions, e.g. the entire West Coast of the United States. We present species-habitat models that estimate finer scale cetacean densities within the eastern Pacific Ocean. The models were developed and validated for 22 species or species groups, based on 15 large-scale shipboard cetacean and ecosystem assessment surveys conducted in the temperate and tropical eastern Pacific during the period from 1986 to 2006. Model development included consideration of different modeling frameworks, spatial and temporal resolutions of input variables, and spatial interpolation techniques. For the final models, expected group encounter rate and group size were modeled separately, using generalized additive models, as functions of environmental predictors, including bathymetry, distance to shore or isobaths, sea surface temperature (SST), variance in SST, salinity, chlorophyll, and mixed-layer depth. Model selection was performed using cross-validation on novel data. Smoothed maps of species density (and variance therein) were created from the final models for the California Current Ecosystem and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. Model results were integrated into a web-interface that allows end-users to estimate densities for specified areas and provides fine-scale information for marine mammal assessments, monitoring, and mitigation.

English sole are risk prone, adopting behavior that renders them more vulnerable to predation, while northern rock sole are more risk averse. Pacific halibut are risk sensitive and modulate behavior to match perceived threats. We hypothesized that risk-taking behavior and intrinsic growth rate would be positively correlated in these species. We examined the willingness of each species to feed, both in the presence and absence of risk, and in separate experiments we measured their intrinsic growth rates under a range of temperatures. As predicted, risky behavior in English sole was accompanied by high intrinsic growth, while risk aversion in rock sole was accompanied by low growth. Pacific halibut confounded predictions, combining moderate risk-taking behavior with high growth. Lastly, we examined the depth distribution of each species. We expected English sole would be restricted to the shallows (<5 m), where predators are less common, while rock sole would have a deeper distribution, being better able to co-exist with predators. Halibut were expected to present an intermediate depth distribution. Again, English sole and rock sole conformed to predictions, while Pacific halibut confounded them by having a deeper depth distribution, comparable to that of rock sole. We suspect that the behavioral plasticity of Pacific halibut, combined with refuging behavior and well-developed escape capabilities, may allow them to have both high intrinsic growth as well as the ability to coexist with the predators. Thus, our results provide only partial support for our hypothesis that behavior and growth are co-evolved traits that together control the distribution of juvenile flatfishes across predation gradients.

In the summer of 2009, a severe Alexandrium bloom in New England coastal waters co-occurred with a shortnose sturgeon Acipenser brevirostrum mortality event in Sagadahoc Bay, Maine, USA. Thirteen individuals of this endangered fish species were found dead on 10 July 2009, and this die-off was associated with extremely high Alexandrium cell densities, record-breaking toxin burdens (>80000 ng g super(-1)) in shellfish, and closures of shellfish beds affecting nearly the entire Maine coastline. STX-like activity was detected in sturgeon (n = 3) stomach contents and liver and gill tissues via neuroblastoma assay and receptor-binding assay at concentrations ranging between 37 and 2300 ng STX-eq. g super(-1) (STX equivalents per gram sample). Stomach content analyses of the 3 necropsied sturgeon carcasses showed a large number of amethyst gem clams Gemma gemma. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of STX and related congeners in sturgeon stomach contents, at concentrations between 311 and 743 ng g super(-1). The present study marks the first reported detection of STXs in shortnose sturgeon, and provides evidence of trophic transfer of Alexandrium toxins as a potential cause of mortality in this event, as well as a threat to the health of this endangered population of fish.

Here we used acoustic telemetry to obtain detailed behavioral data on 2 scyphozoans, lion's mane jellyfish Cyanea capillata and fried-egg jellyfish Phacellophora camtschatica, in Hood Canal, Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Individual variation was high in both the short-term (hours) and long-term (days) data, although several patterns of behavior emerged. Lion's mane jellyfish performed diel vertical migrations over the longer time period, but their depth did not vary with tidal stage. Additionally, horizontal swimming speeds varied with diel period and tidal stage for both lion's mane and fried-egg jellyfish. Lion's mane jellyfish swam faster during the night than day, whereas fried-egg jellyfish swam faster during the day. Both species had the highest swimming rates during flood tides. Jellyfish clearly exhibited active swimming behaviors and were not passively planktonic. Net and cumulative distances traveled suggest that Hood Canal may be a sink for jellyfish, potentially exacerbating effects of population blooms on the ecosystem. Our findings provide mixed support for previous studies reporting diel vertical migrations in other jellyfish species, and provide evidence that jellyfish are capable of more advanced swimming behaviors than often thought.

We used 19 yr (1991 to 2009) of data on breeding chronology and reproductive success of Adelie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae and gentoo penguins P. papua at King George Island, Antarctica to compare clutch initiation dates (CIDs), hatch rates, and creche rates at population and individual levels. The CIDs of both species occurred earlier with warmer October temperatures, but gentoo penguins adjusted CIDs twice as much per degree C of temperature as Adelie penguins. Gentoo penguins also exhibited lower variances in hatch and creche rates than Adelie penguins, suggesting that greater ability to respond to ambient conditions can buffer reproductive success. Mixed-effects models revealed that individual- and year-specific random effects on the overall population mean best accounted for observed variation in CIDs, with some individuals routinely breeding earlier than others. However, individual differences in the relative timing of breeding provided no advantage for long-term reproductive success. The results suggest that, among gentoo and Adelie penguins, plasticity in CIDs with respect to environmental conditions is primarily a population-level rather than an individual-level response. Energetic constraints of contrasting migratory and fasting behaviors likely contribute to the different abilities to respond to warming spring temperatures. Overall, larger responses of gentoo penguin CIDs to October temperature and lower variability in reproductive success, despite reduced reproductive success with delayed breeding, suggests that gentoo penguins are better equipped than Adelie penguins to adjust to rapid warming in the Antarctic Peninsula ecosystem.

Despite their protected status, it is known that the USSR illegally killed both species in the NP and Okhotsk Sea (OS). Here, we provide revised Soviet catch totals, as well as other new information on the distribution and other details of these catches. Right whale catches were made from 1962 to 1968 in the eastern NP and in 1967 and 1968 in the OS. Our best estimate of total right whale catches is 661, consisting of 529 for the eastern NP (compared to the previously published figure of 372) and 152 for the OS (cf. a previous figure of 136). Catches were distributed in the Bering Sea (BS, 115), eastern Aleutian Islands (28), Gulf of Alaska (GOA, 366), OS (132), and other areas (20). Detailed information on catches of 112 right whales taken in May/June 1963 shows a broad distribution in offshore waters of the GOA, consistent with 19th century historical whaling records. Other major areas in which right whales were caught include south of Kodiak Island, western Bristol Bay (southeastern BS), and the central OS off eastern Sakhalin Island. The best estimate of bowhead whale catches in the OS in 1967 and 1968 is 145 animals, although this is contingent upon certain assumptions regarding species identity. Of these, 79 were killed in the Shantar Islands region and 66 in Shelikhov Bay. The catches of both species primarily involved large mature animals, thus greatly inhibiting recovery of the populations concerned.

A vast body of literature identifies 3 main processes that regulate the production dynamics of fisheries: biophysical, exploitative, and trophodynamic. Here, we synthesize results from international workshops in which surplus production models were applied to 13 northern hemisphere ecosystems that support notable fisheries. The results are compared across systems, levels of species aggregation, and drivers. By applying surplus production models at single-species (SS), multi-species (MS), aggregated group, and full-system levels across ecosystems, we find that the different levels of aggregation provide distinct, but complementary, information. Further, it is clear that the triad of drivers contributes to fisheries productivity in each ecosystem, but the key drivers are system-specific. Our results also confirm that full-system yield is less than the sum of SS yields and that some MS and aggregate yields may lead to overharvest of some stocks if species groups are constructed without considering common productivity, inter-species, and environmental interactions. Several fundamental features emerge from this Theme Section including sigmoidal biomass accumulation curves across trophic levels, improvement of model fits by inclusion of environmental or ecological covariates, the inequality of system maximum sustainable yield (MSY) versus aggregated sums and SS sums of MSY, a 1 to 5 t km super(-2) fishery yield rule of thumb, and the finding that tradeoffs among ocean use objectives may not be as harsh as originally thought. These emergent features have the potential to alter our understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics and improve how we manage fisheries production.

Therefore, biological reference points (BRPs) for aggregated groups are required, which optimize yields while preventing overexploitation of individual species. We evaluate the tradeoffs between yield and biodiversity objectives for a wide range of aggregation strategies using multispecies surplus production models and comparing 2 simulated fish communities. We simulated population trajectories with an operating model detailing predation and competitive interactions for all individual species within each community, and with additional stochastic environmental variability for one community. Species trajectories were then aggregated by functional feeding guild, taxonomy, habitat association, size class, and at the entire community level. We estimated production parameters and BRPs (e.g. maximum sustainable yield, MSY) using a simple assessment model applied to each aggregated time series, then we applied the MSY fishing rates to each simulated community as alternative fishing strategies and compared equilibrium biomass and yield under each strategy. We were able to define multi-species reference points to meet both yield and biodiversity objectives across full system, taxonomic, habitat, feeding, and size-based aggregations. Species complexes were best able to meet both objectives when species with broadly similar productivity, environmental sensitivity and species interactions were aggregated into the complex. The impacts of simulated environmental variability on BRPs were substantial for certain species and aggregates, so including the combined impacts of environmental variation and species interactions in precautionary reference points appears critical to EBFM.

Human development of coastlines is increasing, but the effects of urban development of foraging grounds on green turtles are poorly understood. We used acoustic telemetry to determine home ranges of green turtles during 2009 to 2011 in San Diego Bay, California, USA, which is a highly urbanized temperate foraging area. Adult and juvenile turtles (n = 25, straight carapace length = 54.9 to 102.5 cm) were tracked for up to 370 d. Based on the fixed kernel densities of 15 turtles, we found individual home range areas (95% utilization distribution) were 2.09 to 8.70 km super(2) (mean +/- SE = 5.51 +/- 0.57 km super(2)), where each turtle used 1 or 2 core activity areas (50% utilization distribution). The home ranges of all turtles were exclusively in the southern portion of San Diego Bay, where eelgrass Zostera marina is abundant and where human activity is the lowest within the bay. Core activity areas coincided with eelgrass distribution or occurred adjacent to the warm water-effluent outfall of a power plant. Results from our study suggest that south San Diego Bay serves as important turtle habitat within the bay. Future monitoring is required to document the potential effects of changing environmental conditions, including closure of the power plant, on green turtles residing in San Diego Bay.

We used trophically transmitted parasite communities of pelagic fishes in the northern California Current to examine effects of physical oceanographic features on pelagic ecosystem structure. We tested the hypotheses that (1) oceanographic features associated with a coastal promontory, Cape Blanco, Oregon (USA), produced a faunal break resulting in different pelagic ecosystems north and south of the cape, and that (2) the use of biological hotspots in the area by pelagic nekton is reflected in the trophic interactions of mid- and upper trophic level fishes. We recovered 19 taxa of trophically transmitted parasites from 10 common pelagic fish species caught between Newport, Oregon, and Crescent City, California. Non-metric multidimensional scaling of parasite communities reflected a trophic structure among these fish species; results were similar to published diet studies. We found no evidence in the trophically transmitted parasites of spatial differences between the pelagic ecosystems north or south of Cape Blanco, or within versus outside of the biological hotspots. However, we found significant cross shelf differences in parasite communities. Therefore, Cape Blanco does not seem to be a strong faunal boundary, rather the strongest influence is cross-shelf transport associated with coastal upwelling.

Generalized additive models (GAMs) of abundance (count) and presence-absence data were applied separately for each species to examine the influence of selected factors (depth, bottom temperature, substrate type and location) on distribution and abundance. The final models indicated strong predictive relationships, suggesting habitat partitioning between species. Ontogenetic distributions were observed as larger individuals of each species tended to be associated with deeper depths and lower latitudes. Analysis of stomach contents indicated that these species consume a wide variety of prey and that the diet composition also shifted ontogenetically. Multivariate analyses of the mean percent weight (%W) of 23 diet categories indicated that the diets differed among and within species. The diet of M. jaok consisted primarily of mysids, shrimps, and flatfish, with larger sculpins feeding on a greater amount of flatfish prey and less benthic infauna. Both M. polyacanthocephalus and M. scorpius fed considerably on commercially important Chionoecetes crabs, particularly C. opilio; however, similar-sized M. polyacanthocephalus consumed larger Chionoecetes prey than M. scorpius. Diets were more variable among smaller sculpins of these 2 species, and piscivory was more common among M. polyacanthocephalus. Habitat and diet partitioning were evident among species within this genus, as each species exhibited distinct spatial boundaries and diets, possibly avoiding inter- and intraspecific competition in this environment.

To date, these data have not been analyzed in terms of assemblage structure or variability, despite representing a highly valuable resource for examining decadal-scale change. In this study, multivariate statistical techniques were used to characterize temporal and spatial changes in abundances of the larvae of 20 common fish families from the early 1980s through to the late 2000s. The larvae of some pelagic and mesopelagic families showed marked increases in abundance over the survey time period, while the abundances of some benthic families decreased. Changes in assemblage structure were partially explained by changes in the Gulf of Mexico environment with respect to sea surface temperature and changes in shrimp trawling effort. Outflow from the Mississippi River was also influential on the interannual assemblage variability. However, the strong directional trends apparent in many family groups remained unexplained, and further research is required to discern the drivers of these patterns.

Methods were developed to measure late-larval stage abundance and sizes at-sea and to use such data in a near real-time model to forecast recruitment about 4 yr in advance. Larval abundances were weighted for size- and temperature-dependent mortality to project the number attaining a critical size of 15 mm; this weighting reflects the greater survival value of larger larvae to the population. The method was applied to catches in the 2007 and 2008 larval surveys to show the feasibility of attaining near real-time estimates. The accuracy of the method to forecast recruitment was evaluated from historical data. Adjusting larval abundance for size- and temperature-dependent mortality improved the trend with recruitment, but the relationship was not significant over the entire time series (1979 to 2007) because of an increasing trend in predators of juvenile stages, decoupling the parameters. A threshold-based generalized additive recruitment forecast model was developed to account for autocorrelative structure caused by inter-cohort interactions and mortality-related factors occurring after the larval period. The model closely tracks past recruitment trends. Based on low larval abundances and high numbers of predators, low to moderate abundances of age-4 recruits were predicted for 2007 to 2011, which matched observed levels reasonably well.

Three pairs of large and small individuals were identified in the field; genotype analysis indicated that 2 of these could represent mother-offspring pairs; for the third small individual, no sampled female genetically qualified as a potential mother. In aggregate, the population appears to have lost some genetic diversity, though not to the degree of North Atlantic right whales E. glacialis, and males outnumber females 2:1. A comparison of the eastern Pacific samples to a single Russian sample suggested that the 2 populations are isolated to some degree. The effective population size for the eastern North Pacific was calculated to be 11.6 (95% CI: 2.9-75.0), based on the estimated linkage disequilibrium. These results further indicate that this population is at immediate risk of extirpation.

Previous studies have revealed geographic clines in northern shrimp population parameters (growth, maturity, longevity) which co-vary with environmental temperature, and laboratory studies have confirmed temperature effects. In this study, field data were used to investigate reproductive phenology of northern shrimp in the Gulf of Maine during 1980 to 2011 in relation to ocean temperatures. Timing of the annual shrimp hatch was estimated by sampling commercial catches during the brooding and hatching period. Hatch timing metrics were regressed against composite environmental variables derived from principal component analysis of sea surface temperature and bottom temperature anomalies. Shrimp population indices (spawner abundance and mean size) were included as covariates. Shifts have occurred in timing of hatch initiation (earlier) and completion (later), with the overall result of a longer hatch period in recent years. The midpoint of the hatch period has varied without trend. All hatch timing metrics were significantly related to temperature variables, several of which have warmed significantly during the study period. In the short term, phenological shifts in hatch timing of northern shrimp may be beneficial because they effectively increase the window of opportunity for larvae to encounter good survival conditions. The continued warming predicted for the Gulf of Maine will likely produce further changes, some of which may be in unexpected directions.

Apparent mutualism results when multiple prey species reduce predation risk for each other by altering a predator's functional response. Short-term apparent competition occurs when multiple prey species increase predation risks for each other through the numerical response, i.e. increasing the predator's birth rate, or aggregative response, i.e. attracting a higher density of predators. Our objectives in this study were to determine the aggregative response and 2-prey functional response of a predator and to examine indirect effects over a range of prey densities. We used the clam Macoma balthica and juvenile blue crabs Callinectes sapidus as prey for adult blue crabs. In laboratory experiments, we determined the single-prey functional responses of the crabs to each prey species and the 2-prey functional response. We combined the 2-prey functional response with the known blue crab aggregative response to clams to estimate field predation rates. Our model predicts that at low prey densities, clams and juvenile blue crabs exhibit apparent mutualism, whereas at high clam densities, this relation switches to short-term apparent competition. These unexpected results highlight the need to incorporate multiple aspects of predation at multiple scales when considering indirect effects.

We present a simple operating model, AGG-PROD, that takes into account these drivers. AGG-PROD aggregates species into functional groups and applies exploitation rates to these groups, while accounting for the interactions between these groups and the environment. We loosely modeled the Northeast US Large Marine Ecosystem fish community, exploring a range of harvest, ecological interactions (competition and predation), and climate effects scenarios. We examined the independent effects of each of the triad of drivers at their base levels on the 3 main functional groups. We then explored the effects of targeted harvest on specific functional groups as well as different levels of total system harvest, both with and without climate effects. Our results indicate that the triad of drivers can lead to unanticipated, indirect effects on groups of species, and that all 3 should be taken into account by an operating model in a Management Strategy Evaluation context. Harvest tends to affect groups with a slower overall growth rate the most, while groups affected by strong ecological interactions often exhibit strong competitive or predatory release when other groups are reduced in biomass. Climate effects reduce primarily the biomass of groundfishes in our model, indicating the need for more conservative exploitation under future climate projections.

Summed single-species production model reference points were higher than estimates from the aggregate surplus production model. The equilibrium yield (maximum sustainable yield, MSY) and biomass at MSY (B sub(MSY)) levels for the summed single-species production model reference points exceeded the aggregate model results by 28.0 and 27.5%, respectively. Biological interactions such as predation and competition are potential reasons for differences between the aggregate and summed results. Not accounting for biological interactions may result in overly optimistic predictions of long-term sustainable yield and unrealistically high estimates of B sub(MSY). We found high concordance between single-species production model reference points and results from a range of other estimation methods employed in assessment of these species, suggesting that the results from the aggregate production model analyses are not artifacts related to model type. Tests for the effect of environmental variables, including the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) index, the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, and the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) series suggested possible effects of the NAO at a lag of 0 and the ERSST at a lag of 2 yr based on cross-correlation analyses. However, further tests proved inconclusive when the covariates were introduced into an extended surplus production model. Given the potential shifts in productivity that can accompany climate change, this issue should be periodically re-evaluated, and, where appropriate, a more dynamic approach to setting reference points should be pursued.

For all 4 species, we fit a hierarchy of nested surplus production models with terms for trophodynamic and biophysical covariates; models were then compared using an information-theoretic framework. Across ecosystems, models including terms for biophysical covariates exhibited stronger fits to the data and were often included in the top set of selected models. However, the numerical effects of covariates differed among systems and species. For example, surplus production in several ecosystems was significantly affected by sea surface temperature, but to differing degrees (i.e. direction and magnitude of effect). Similarly, surplus production of cod was positively associated with herring biomass in 4 of the ecosystems examined, whereas negative trophodynamic interactions alluded to complex cultivation-depensation food-web dynamics in 5 other systems. Importantly, no single covariate emerged as the most important predictor of surplus production nor were biological reference points from models with covariates always more conservative than those without covariates. This suggests that inclusion of trophodynamic and biophysical covariates in simple production models has the potential to increase model fit, but the relative benefit will be stronger for systems and species where trophodynamic and biophysical processes are tightly coupled to species productivity.

This precludes complex ecosystem models in favor of simpler models such as surplus production models. Surplus production models for individual species can provide estimates of common biological reference points such as maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and the corresponding stock biomass level (B sub(MSY)). For ecosystem approaches, summing multiple single-species surplus production models to estimate the ecosystem MSY ignores potential biological and fishery interactions among species. Improved estimates of ecosystem-level MSY can be obtained by aggregating species, thereby accounting for known interactions among species. Here, we fit surplus production models to 3 different types of aggregations for 12 northern hemisphere marine ecosystems. Aggregations were based on habitat (benthic/pelagic), foraging guild (planktivore/zoopivore/benthivore/piscivore) and size class (small/medium/large). The objectives of this work were to explore, compare and contrast model outputs across the various types of aggregations and among ecosystems. We found that regardless of the type of aggregation, aggregate production never exceeded 6 t km super(-2) and was generally less than 3 t km super(-2). Patterns of production varied among ecosystems with no particular pattern with respect to ocean basin, latitude or component species. Aggregated surplus production models can provide biological reference points that are familiar to fishery managers and can be used to set overall removals with respect to aggregate group as long as less productive stocks are protected.

Dr. Megrey was well known for comparative studies of ecosystems, but his contributions to science were far broader. His pioneering of comparative marine ecosystem studies began long before they achieved a high profile in the field. He played a leading role in a number of international projects comparing marine ecosystems in northern hemisphere countries, and championed the use of simple but robust models for this purpose. He was central in organizing a successful trilateral workshop that modeled stock production in the USA, Canada and Norway. This was followed up by the Surplus Production Modelling Workshop in Woods Hole in 2011, which encompassed a broader range of modeling approaches, as well as additional countries and their associated marine ecosystems. The resulting manuscripts are presented in this Theme Section. Dr. Megrey's flair for bringing together scientists with diverse perspectives led to a cohesiveness among such disparate scientists, resulting in the successful completion of this and related workshops and ultimately the works in this Theme Section.

AN - 1113217645; 17248779 AB - This paper introduces the MEPS Theme Section (TS) 'Comparative Analysis of Marine Fisheries Production'. The unifying theme of the studies in the TS is the relative influence of a 'triad of drivers'-fishing, trophodynamic, and environmental-on fisheries production. The studies were developed during 2 international workshops held in 2010 and 2011, which assembled a database of fisheries, trophodynamic, and environmental time series from 13 northern hemisphere marine ecosystems, and applied a common production-modeling approach to this data. The studies encompass empirical examinations of the datasets, production models fitted to the data at multiple levels of organization from single species to full ecosystems, and simulation studies examining the impacts of climate effects and alternative management strategies on fisheries production. The body of work presented in the TS demonstrates that using both production modeling and the comparative approach together makes rapid progress towards ecosystem-based fishery management, whether the aim is a better understanding of the ecosystem or the provision of operational management advice.

On the US West Coast, previous groundfish assemblage analyses have focused either on particular species groups (i.e. Sebastes) or limited time frames and/or geographic regions within the groundfish fishery. The present study expands on previous work to identify groundfish assemblages across the full spatial extent of the West Coast groundfish fishery from 1977-2009, by using 2 fishery-independent trawl surveys. Species assemblages were identified using 2 clustering methods (partitioning analysis and hierarchical analysis) and 2 realizations of the data (presence-absence and log+1 transformed catch-per-unit-effort, CPUE). The analysis using presence-absence data provides information on species that co-occur while the CPUE data provides information on species that occur at similar magnitudes. Temporally and spatially persistent assemblages were detected by both clustering methods through most years. Assemblages identified using CPUE were often subsets of those identified using presence-absence, indicating that the members of an assemblage may occur together, but not necessarily at the same magnitude, a result that should be considered when choosing the clustering metric. Identification of species assemblages is applicable to bycatch models and informative when evaluating the implementation of spatial management measures, and thus germane to current challenges faced by marine resource managers.

As part of a long-term study on whales off Sakhalin Island, Russia, photo-catalog comparisons of gray whales in the western and eastern North Pacific (ENP) were undertaken to assess population mixing. These comparisons involved 2 approaches: (1) a systematic comparison of the WNP 'Sakhalin Catalog' to an ENP 'Pacific Northwest Catalog' that consisted of images from the northwest coast of North America and (2) a non-systematic comparison of the WNP 'Sakhalin Catalog' to an ENP 'Laguna San Ignacio Catalog' that consisted of images from central Baja California, Mexico. The Sakhalin to Pacific Northwest comparison consisted of 181 and 1064 whales, respectively, and resulted in 6 matches (3 males, 2 females, and 1 whale of unknown sex). All sightings of 'Sakhalin whales' in the Pacific Northwest occurred off southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The Sakhalin to Laguna San Ignacio comparison consisted of 181 and 2514 whales, respectively, and resulted in 4 matches (2 males and 2 females). As the Pacific Northwest and Laguna San Ignacio catalogs represent only a small fraction of the total estimated number of individuals in the ENP population ( similar to 19000), it is likely that more WNP/ENP exchange has occurred than was detected by these photo-catalog comparisons. Although these matches provide new records of movements between the WNP and ENP, recent observations of gray whales off Japan and China suggest that not all gray whales identified in the WNP share a common wintering ground.

Cetacean-habitat models can provide a finer spatial resolution than traditional abundance estimates, but model predictions are generally based on past observations rather than current or projected ocean conditions. We present and evaluate methods for near real-time and forecast models of cetacean distribution based on remotely sensed and modeled oceanographic data. Recent advancements in processing satellite-derived data (e.g. microwave/infrared blended sea surface temperature [SST] products) have virtually eliminated data gaps due to cloud cover, allowing short-term forecasts based on single-day snapshots of oceanic conditions. Ocean circulation models (e.g. the Regional Ocean Modeling System [ROMS]) allow medium-range forecast predictions of oceanic variables, including SST, chlorophyll and salinity. We developed habitat models for striped dolphin, fin whale and Dall's porpoise using line-transect data collected from July to November 1991-2005 in the California Current Ecosystem. We incorporated daily blended SST data and monthly ROMS SST forecasts as input variables to predict relative species density in 2008. Forecast ability was assessed by the models' ranked predictions across 8 geographic strata, and by visual inspection of predicted and observed distributions. For all 3 species, there was a significant correlation between model predictions using daily blended SSTs and actual survey observations (p < 0.05). Longer-term (3-4 mo) predictions also showed good concordance with observed sighting locations. Cetacean-habitat models that allow weekly to monthly forecasting of cetacean abundance can greatly enhance short-term decision-making and advanced mitigation planning.

In total, 434 dead, stranded green turtles Chelonia mydas were evaluated through necropsy and skeletochronological analysis to characterize morphology, sex, body condition, disease status, age structure, and growth patterns. Standard straightline carapace lengths ranged from 18.1 to 78.5 cm (mean +/- SD = 36.3 +/- 10.4 cm) and did not significantly differ from those of stranded green turtles that survived this event. Prevalence of fibropapilloma (FP) was low, at 6%, and sex ratio was significantly biased toward females (2.45F:1M). Age estimates ranged from 2 to 22 yr (mean +/- SD = 9 +/- 4 yr) and female age distribution was significantly greater than that of males. Mean stage durations, as calculated through summation of size class-specific growth rates and fitting smoothing spline models to length-at-age data, were similar and ranged from 17 to 20 yr. Generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models were used to assess the potential influence of discrete and continuous covariates on growth rates. Somatic growth was significantly influenced by size, age, and calendar year; however, no effect of sex, FP status, or body condition was found. Increased understanding of population parameters will improve population models for the species and can also serve as a reference for assessing potential effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Past studies have focused largely on terrestrial species with biotic pollination modes, but precise causes and consequences of pollen limitation remain unknown. Here, sex ratio, seed production, seed recruitment, and viability were examined in intertidal populations of a dioecious, abiotically pollinated marine angiosperm, Phyllospadix torreyi (Torrey's surfgrass). Using field surveys and a common garden experiment, this study was conducted near Santa Barbara, California, USA, from 2007 to 2008. Reproduction and recruitment of P. torreyi primarily occur near the parental source (tens of meters) because female reproductive success ratio (RSR, measured as the ratio of fertilized ovules to total ovules) increased with local pollen production (RSR range: 0.02-0.71), and seed recruitment was predicted by local (site) seed production and elevation zone within the intertidal. Low RSR at sites with extreme male rarity (<0.3 male flowering shoots m super(-2)) suggests that pollen limitation is occurring within this system. Seed recruitment was predicted by local (site) seed production and elevation zone (area of potential seed recruitment within the intertidal). The occurrence of seed production and recruitment at sites with extreme male rarity suggests some dispersal of seeds and pollen extending beyond the immediate vicinity of the site. Pollen or seed dispersal over longer distances, although rare, may reduce habitat fragmentation by facilitating colonization of newly available habitat. Localized pollen availability affected seed quantity but not quality; seed germination and growth were uniform among sites.

The tags transmitted data from 1 degree S to 44 degree N latitude and from 206 to 249 degree E longitude. Five tags were recovered, providing a full archival record that showed that when swordfish did not engage in daytime basking behavior, they remained within a narrow range of light level during both day and night, suggesting swordfish stay within a sound-scattering layer (SSL) to feed during both day and night. Daytime mean depth of non-basking swordfish ranged from 32 to 760 m. Seventy-seven percent of the daytime mean depth could be explained with a generalized additive model that used 3 environmental indices: satellite-derived surface chlorophyll as a proxy for light at depth, oxygen at 400 m obtained from the World Ocean Atlas, and temperature at 400 m inferred from the tag data. This model, when used in a predictive mode, generated a basin-wide map of swordfish daytime mean depth that showed depths exceeding 600 m to the north of Hawaii, shoaling to 300 m off the coast of California. This information could improve daytime swordfish catch by longliners and potentially allow them to switch from shallow night sets that result in interactions with sea turtles. This approach in effect defines the habitat of swordfish prey, giving us insight into the vertical behavior of those mid-trophic level organisms inhabiting the SSL. Our model could be easily applied to other deep-foraging species.

Abdominal tissues were collected and analyzed from both species at Necker Island and Maro Reef from 2006 to 2008. Protein and lipid levels did not differ significantly between locations in either species. Bulk tissue super(15)N of both species was significantly negatively correlated with growth for both species; however, the analysis assumed constant isotopic composition of autotrophs across this region. CSIA, which accounts for super(15)N variability at the base of the food web, indicated that spiny lobsters at both locations occupied the same trophic position whereas the slower-growing Maro Reef slipper lobsters fed at a lower trophic position relative to Necker Island slipper lobsters. Spatial variability in the abundance or diversity of preferred prey items appears to be responsible for the spatial variability in growth and the specific morphology and behavior of these species dictated how they coped with dietary restraints. These findings increase the understanding of NWHI coral reef ecosystem processes as well as highlight dangers of using consumer bulk tissue isotopic data without considering variation in the nitrogen isotopic composition at the base of the food web.

As operations occurred continuously throughout the diel cycle, time-at-capture data were used as a proxy for natural feeding behavior to examine the diel feeding chronology of blacknose Carcharhinus acronotus, spinner C. brevipinna, bull C. leucas, blacktip C. limbatus, sandbar C. plumbeus, and Atlantic sharpnose Rhizoprionodon terraenovae sharks. All 6 species were collected during all hours of the diel cycle; however, application of circular statistics revealed that spinner, bull, blacktip and sandbar sharks increased their feeding activity during nocturnal hours. Atlantic sharpnose and blacknose sharks exhibited no significant directedness in time-of-capture, indicating that these 2 species lack distinct feeding patterns. The species-specific differences in feeding chronologies of the sharks examined demonstrate that broad generalizations concerning the feeding behavior of sharks are not appropriate.

The goal of the present study was to assess mariner response to a voluntary program to reduce the threat of vessel collisions with the endangered North Atlantic right whale Eubalaena glacialis. The program involves the creation of temporary zones, dynamic management areas (DMAs), in which vessel operators are requested, but not required, to either navigate around the area or travel through at speeds of 10 knots or less. Using remotely sensed automatic identification system data, we analyzed 3324 transits made by 1100 individual vessels, the majority of which belong to the international commercial shipping industry utilizing east coast ports of the USA. In general, we observed very little change in vessel operations in response to the DMAs. The mean transit speeds for cargo, tanker, and passenger vessels within the DMAs exceeded the requested maximum of 10 knots and differed little from speeds used outside DMAs. In addition, few transits appeared to involve efforts to navigate around the DMAs. Therefore, we conclude that the program likely had only a modest consequence in reducing vessel collisions with whales, at least as measured by vessel operations. These results may have application to other settings where voluntary programs are contemplated or implemented.

Tag data provide a unique view on individual movement patterns, at different scales than shipboard surveys, and have been used to discover new habitat areas, characterize oceanographic features, and delineate stock structures, among other purposes. Due to the necessity for small tag-to-body size ratio, tags have largely been deployed on adult animals, resulting in a relative paucity of data on earlier life history stages. In this study, we reviewed tagging efforts on multiple life history stages for seabirds, marine mammals, marine turtles, and fish and enumerated studies focusing on each guild that targeted larvae, juveniles or hatchlings. We found that turtles and fish had higher proportion of studies focusing on juveniles (>20%) than seabirds and marine mammals (<10%). On both juveniles and adults, tags were used in a targeted manner with passive and transmitting tags as the main tools for population demography and connectivity studies, while GPS and archival tags were used more frequently for habitat analyses and foraging ecology. These findings identify the need to focus on novel approaches in tagging multiple life history stages both to study marine predator ecology and to effectively manage marine populations.

Dispersal and habitat use of young oceanic sea turtles are largely inferred. Historically, available tracking technology and tag attachment methods were limited by small body sizes and rapid growth of neonate sea turtles. We tested methods in the laboratory for attaching small solar-powered satellite tags to neonate loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta, including harnesses, hard epoxy and neoprene-silicone mounts. Non-harness attachments were tested on turtles with clean carapaces and carapaces treated with an acrylic base-coat. Turtle growth and condition were measured among treatment and control groups. We tested surrogate solar cells, coated with clear silicone antifoulant for biofouling and performance, and field tested the performance of 7 solar-powered satellite tags on neonate loggerheads released off southeastern Florida (USA). Attachments with acrylic base-coats remained affixed 4- to 8-fold longer than on untreated carapaces. Harness attachments resulted in long-term tag retention (>60 d). However, harness and hard epoxy attachments did not adjust for turtle growth; we do not recommend these methods for rapidly growing neonate turtles. The method with longest retention was a neoprene-silicone attachment on an acrylic base-coat. Growth and condition were comparable among treated and control turtles using this flexible neoprene-silicone-acrylic attachment. Field-tested tags transmitted for 38 to 172 d. There were significant differences in charge rates of tags treated with an antifoulant and untreated tags; however, all tags charged optimally and transmitted high-quality locations. Our data suggest that small solar-powered tags are viable tools for monitoring the in-water behavior of oceanic sea turtles.

Here, we test this hypothesis by linking variation in prey resources during the initial phase at sea with measurements of central California Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha diet, condition, and later adult abundance. Specifically, we investigate linkages between the distribution and abundance of krill and other prey with juvenile Chinook salmon diet and body condition. Hydrographic features of the Gulf of the Farallones during May and June were related to the abundance and spatial organization of Chinook salmon prey. When upwelling was reduced, there were fewer krill on the inner Gulf of the Farallones shelf, thereby less available to outgoing juvenile Chinook salmon smolts. Notably, we found a 1 yr lag in the relationship between the abundance of adult Thysanoessa spinifera and the volume of krill in the diet of juvenile Chinook salmon. Body condition of juvenile Chinook salmon was positively related to the abundance of adult krill the year before and specifically to the proportion of T. spinifera in the diet. In turn, the condition of juvenile Chinook salmon was correlated to the abundance of mature Chinook salmon returning from the same cohort the next year. This information may be useful for fisheries management by improving sibling-based forecasting models as well as informing escapement goals.

I quantified spatial variation in resilience by calculating recovery rates and trajectories in the rocky intertidal ecosystem across biogeographic regions along the coast of California in 4 intertidal assemblages dominated by taxa with contrasting dispersal distances, lifespans, and trophic positions. Here I have shown that resilience itself can vary dramatically across taxa and biogeographic regions and that this variation may be understood in the context of the life history characteristics, the ecology of the disturbed taxa, and the pathway by which recovery occurs. Overall, the barnacle and turf algal assemblages displayed the fastest recovery rates, while the mussel and rockweed assemblages showed recovery rates that were the slowest and most variable. Significant variation in both recovery rates and trajectories across regions in the invertebrate-dominated assemblages indicated that regional differences in the delivery of propagules were potential drivers in differences in recovery rates for these taxa. By contrast, regionally varying recovery trajectories, but not recovery rates, in the algal-dominated assemblages suggested difference in timing of key events driving the recovery process. The effect of disturbance magnitude on recovery rates was consistent across regions for the mussel and rockweed assemblages, but in the barnacle and turf algal assemblages, the effect of disturbance size differed across regions, indicating variability in processes that drive edge effects. In all 4 assemblages, geographic differences in recovery trajectories outweighed differences across disturbance sizes.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are POPs of particular concern because they can induce immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive impairment. Killer whales Orcinus orca can accumulate high concentrations of POPs because they are long-lived apex predators. Southern resident killer whales (SRKWs) are an endangered fish-eating population that consists of 3 pods (J, K, and L) with a geographic range from central California, USA, to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada. An individual-based modeling approach was used to predict the accumulation of sum PBDEs ( capital sigma PBDEs) and sum PCBs ( capital sigma PCBs) in specific individuals in the SRKW population. Model predictions for the current concentrations corresponded closely to the concentrations measured in biopsies collected from known individuals. The predicted capital sigma PBDE concentrations over the life-span of individual killer whales were consistent with a doubling time of similar to 3 to 4 yr, highlighting the rapid emergence of PBDEs as a priority concern in these animals. J pod individuals had the highest predicted capital sigma PBDE and capital sigma PCB concentrations, likely due to their increased residence time near industrial centers. Modeled historical capital sigma PCB concentrations did not increase substantially over time or with age in males born after 1970, whereas the capital sigma PBDE concentrations increased over time and with age. In general, modeled future projections indicated that the average male and female had similar capital sigma PBDE trends with age, time, and diet scenario. Future capital sigma PCBs are predicted to slowly decline; however, SRKWs will continue to be exposed for several generations.

I argue that declining trade costs are an important explanation for these facts. I present a three stage vertical specialization trade model, with raw materials, manufactured parts and final goods sectors. In the simulated model, falling trade costs explain much of the observed growth in overall and VS trade. Manufacturing trade grows twice as fast as overall trade. Raw materials trade was more important in the 1960s when trade costs were high, since their production is more strongly linked to endowments than manufacturing. Therefore, materials will be traded even when trade costs are high. Trade costs have fallen more for manufactured goods over the last 40years, leading to a rapid expansion of manufactured parts trade relative to materials.

Feral horses are an increasing problem in many countries and are popular with the public, making management difficult. Aims . To develop a scheme useful in planning management strategies. Methods . A model is developed and applied to four different feral horse herds, three of which have been quite accurately counted over the years. Key Results . The selected model has been tested on a variety of data sets, with emphasis on the four sets of feral horse data. An alternative, nonparametric model is used to check the selected parametric approach. Conclusions . A density-dependent response was observed in all 4 herds, even though only 8 observations were available in each case. Consistency in the model fits suggests that small starting herds can be used to test various management techniques. Implications . Management methods can be tested on actual, confined populations.

The joint asymptotic distribution for the sample mean and sample variance under the extended model is derived; the associated convergence rates are found to depend crucially on the tail thickness and long memory parameter. A self-normalized sample mean that concurrently captures the tail and memory behaviour, is defined. Its asymptotic distribution is approximated by subsampling without the knowledge of tail or/and memory parameters; a result of independent interest regarding subsampling consistency for certain long-range dependent processes is provided. The subsampling-based confidence intervals for the process mean are shown to have good empirical coverage rates in a simulation study. The influence of block size on the coverage and the performance of a data-driven rule for block size selection are assessed. The methodology is further applied to the series of packet-counts from ethernet traffic traces.

The abundance of salmon in available habitats were largely controlled by extrinsic factors such as an initially large source population, high intrinsic growth rates linked to favorable climate-driven conditions, a constant supply of dispersers, and large amounts of newly available habitat. Temporal variation in flows at Hell's Gate also affected recolonization success. Self-sustaining populations were developed within years of barrier removal and have continued to help expand the overall population of Fraser River pink salmon. However, pink salmon were considerably more abundant in the early 1900s than in the 1980s ( similar to 48 million vs. similar to 2.7 million), and the majority of spawning shifted from the historic areas above Hell's Gate prior to the rockslide to below Hell's Gate in the lower Fraser River after the long-term blockage was reduced, so the system has not returned to the former abundance and distribution patterns.Original Abstract: Les nombres de saumons roses (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) adultes recenses de 1947 a 1987 dans 66 cours d'eau du reseau du fleuve Fraser (Colombie-Britannique, Canada) ont ete utilises pour determiner a quel moment les populations colonisatrices de saumons roses deviennent autosuffisantes apres la reduction d'un obstacle de longue duree a la migration a Hell's Gate (kilometre fluvial 209). L'abondance des saumons dans les habitats disponibles etait en bonne partie dictee par des facteurs extrinseques tels qu'une importante population source initiale, de forts taux de croissance intrinseque associes a des conditions favorables decoulant du climat, un apport constant d'individus se dispersant et l'abondance d'habitats nouvellement disponibles. Les variations temporelles des debits a Hell's Gate influaient egalement sur le succes de recolonisation. Des populations autosuffisantes s'etaient etablies apres quelques annees suivant le retrait des barrieres et ont continue de contribuer a l'augmentation de la population globale de saumons roses du fleuve Fraser. Cela dit, ces derniers etaient beaucoup plus abondants au debut du 20e siecle que dans les annees 1980 ( similar to 48 millions contre similar to 2,7 millions) et la majeure partie de l'activite de fraie s'est deplacee des frayeres historiques situees en amont de Hell's Gate avant le glissement de terrain vers des frayeres en aval de Hell's Gate, dans le bas Fraser, apres la reduction de l'obstacle de longue duree, de sorte que l'abondance et la repartition anterieures des saumons dans le systeme n'ont pas ete retablies.

People learn to use subtle sequence regularities to respond more accurately and quickly to predictable versus non-predictable events. Although previous studies have shown experts' enhanced processing speed and perception, this is the first to demonstrate that people who regularly play video games or a musical instrument showed greater implicit sequence learning, suggesting that experience playing games or music may improve the efficiency with which people learn sequential regularities in the environment.

An IFQ is a management method in which individual fishers and corporations are allocated the right to harvest a percentage of a fishery's total allowable catch, thus specifying how much of a particular species each fisher can harvest. This study makes use of a mail out survey to document the perceptions of fishers, seafood wholesalers, fisheries managers, and academics with an interest in the (northern) Gulf of Mexico grouper and tilefish IFQ program. While fishers, seafood dealers, fisheries managers, and academics all acknowledge that the IFQ program will create some problems, commercial fishers and dealers were far more skeptical of the alleged benefits of IFQs. Moreover, larger commercial operators were more inclined to agree with managers and academics that the IFQ program will produce several benefits for their operations and the fisheries. Some smaller operators believe that they will be driven to ignore the new rules or be forced out of business. In the future, the Gulf Council might do two things: put a bit more effort into making fishers aware of the potential benefits of IFQs, and develop alternatives with more flexibility perhaps working more closely with communities of fishers, who prize their independent way of life above all else.

I used this information to compare marine distribution patterns of hatchery coho O. kisutch and Chinook O. tshawytscha salmon, based on recoveries of an estimated 1.99 million tagged salmon in coastal areas from southern California to the Bering Sea. Both species show distinct region-specific distribution patterns. Within these release regions, coho and Chinook salmon marine distributions were often similar, with fish distributed largely in local waters. In other regions, Chinook salmon were distributed father north than coho salmon originating from the same region. Only in two regions did the two species have fundamentally different marine distributions, with coho south of, and Chinook salmon north of, the natal stream. The analysis also revealed several "hot spots" of salmon diversity, identified by numerically few recoveries that represented many of the hatcheries used in the analysis. These hotspots may serve as important reservoirs for the continued existence of populations that are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to their restricted marine distributions. Although CWT technology is primitive by modern standards, the enormous amount of data collected in a consistent fashion over decades and contained in an online database provides a unique and underutilized opportunity to address many elusive questions about Pacific salmon.

We installed two such systems in Valley Creek near its confluence with the Salmon River in summer 2002. In the summers of 2003-2005 we collected and PIT tagged wild spring/summer Chinook salmon parr Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in natal rearing areas upstream from the monitors. Although subsequent detection numbers between fall 2003 and spring 2006 were low and variable, they were sufficient to determine timing and estimate survival. We defined migrational groups by period of detection: late summer and fall (August-October), winter (November-February), and the following spring (March-June). Combining 3 years of data, the mean proportions of fish detected during these three respective detection periods were 60.6, 27.7, and 11.7%. Mean probability estimates of survival from Valley Creek to Lower Granite or Little Goose Dams were 9.2, 23.4, and 40.8% for the respective late summer and fall, winter, and spring periods. Estimated overall mean probabilities of survival were 46.6% from tagging as parr to movement into the mouth of Valley Creek and 17.3% from Valley Creek to Lower Granite Dam. The overall mean parr-to-smolt survival estimate from tagging to arrival at Lower Granite Dam was 9.0%. The unexpectedly high proportion of fish migrating in winter has important implications for fish monitoring studies that use rotary screw or scoop traps: these traps are generally inoperable during winter near most natal rearing areas and thus may result in biased estimates of fish population status and migration timing.

Since 2000, approximately 550,000 hatchery smolts are annually released into the river, of which 32% of these (175,000) were marked with visual implant elastomer (VIE) tags indicating release time and location. Our study found that tag colors of adult returns were often misread due to confusion between green and yellow marks and between red and pink marks. Using data collected on mark readings in a controlled hatchery environment, we corrected for tag identification errors made in the field, thereby allowing adjustments to be made in the marked returns to accurately assess the number of returns from multiple stocking groups. When adult returns from multiple stocking groups were compared, significant differences were detected between stocking groups, including a threefold difference between two of the stocking groups. Hence, a simple change in smolt stocking locations and times may be of value in the recovery of the Penobscot River salmon population.

Methods Field data analysis used both air sounding and surface flux measurements collected during the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study field campaigns in central Canada. Model study applied a non-local transilient turbulence theory (TTT) to simulate the impact of the heterogeneous boundary conditions together with initial conditions on the BL development at the Candle Lake and Thompson release sites over boreal forests. Boundary conditions were characterized by the integrated surface flux measurements from different forest stands. The lake effect was included in constructing the surface fluxes at Candle Lake release site. Important Findings Analyses of serial upper air sounding data and tower flux data indicate strong linear impacts of surface sensible heat forcing on the diurnal BL development above boreal forests. The regression slopes on the relationship between the BL development and the surface fluxes reflect the influences of initial boundary conditions to the BL developments. Both the modeled and the measured diurnal BLs show that lakes reduce sensible heat flux, leading to a shallower boundary in Candle Lake than in Thompson. Comparison of the model results and field measurements on the BL profiles indicates that the TTT model has the capability to simulate the BL development above boreal forests for sunny, rainfall or cloudy days. This study demonstrates the importance of lake on surface fluxes and BL development. The modeling effort shows the potential to couple the transilient theory with a land surface process model to study land surface and atmosphere interaction in boreal forest.

The bocaccio rockfish Sebastes paucispinis is a high gene-flow marine species off the west coast of North America that experienced strong population decline over the past 3 decades. We used 18 anonymous and 13 gene-associated simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci (expressed sequence tag [EST]-SSRs) to characterize range-wide population structure with temporal replicates. No F sub(ST)-outliers were detected using the LOSITAN program, suggesting that neither balancing nor divergent selection affected the loci surveyed. Consistent hierarchical structuring of populations by geography or year class was not detected regardless of marker class. The EST-SSRs were less variable than the anonymous SSRs, but no correlation between F sub(ST) and variation or marker class was observed. General linear model analysis showed that low EST-SSR variation was attributable to low mean repeat number. Comparative genomic analysis with Gasterosteus aculeatus, Takifugu rubripes, and Oryzias latipes showed consistently lower repeat number in EST-SSRs than SSR loci that were not in ESTs. Purifying selection likely imposed functional constraints on EST-SSRs resulting in low repeat numbers that affected diversity estimates but did not affect the observed pattern of population structure.
