TY - RPRT T1 - EFFECTS OF OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN, BEAUFORT AND CHUKCHI SEAS, ALASKA. [Part 2 of 3] T2 - EFFECTS OF OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN, BEAUFORT AND CHUKCHI SEAS, ALASKA. AN - 963637274; 15192-6_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Management alternatives for the authorization of oil and gas exploration activities in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas within the five year period of 2012 through 2017 are proposed. The project area covers 200,331 square miles within the Alaskan portion of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas and includes State of Alaska and outer continental shelf waters adjacent to the North Slope of Alaska, and transit areas of the Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Straits. The statutory responsibilities include the issuance of permits and authorizations by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for seismic surveys and the issuance of incidental take authorizations (ITAs) by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). NMFS issues ITAs for oil and gas exploration activities because it is likely that seismic and exploratory drilling activities result in the disturbance of marine mammals. Key issues include: impacts to marine mammals and habitats; risks of oil spills; climate change; protection of subsistence resources and the Inupiat culture; availability of research and monitoring data for decision-making; monitoring requirements; and mitigation measures. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are evaluated in this draft EIS. The reasonable range and level of activities for which permits and authorizations may be requested are based upon past lease sales, geological and geophysical permits, ancillary activity notices, exploration drilling exploration activities, and requests for ITAs. The activities that are evaluated in this EIS are grouped into three categories: deep penetration geophysical surveys including seismic surveys, gravity and gradiometry surveys, and controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) surveys; shallow hazards surveys using acoustic imagery of the sub-seafloor or using sediment sampling devices; and exploratory drilling. Alternative 2 would authorize Level 1 activity to include: up to four seismic or CSEM surveys in the Beaufort Sea and up to three seismic or CSEM surveys in the Chukchi Sea per year, with up to one of that total number of surveys in each sea including ice breaking if necessary; up to three site clearance and high resolution shallow hazards survey programs in each sea per year; one on-ice seismic survey in the Beaufort Sea per year; and one exploratory drilling program in each sea per year. Alternative 3 would authorize Level 2 exploration activity to include: up to six seismic or CSEM surveys in the Beaufort Sea and up to five seismic or CSEM surveys in the Chukchi Sea per year, with up to one of that total number in each sea including ice breaking; up to five site clearance and high resolution shallow hazards survey programs in each sea per year; one on-ice seismic survey in the Beaufort Sea per year; and up to two exploratory drilling programs in each sea per year. Alternatives 4 and 5 would also authorize Level 2 exploration activity, but with additional required time/area closures and use of alternative technologies, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would facilitate NMFS decision-making through proactive analysis of the effects of multiple exploration activities and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The collection of high-resolution shallow hazards data would help the BOEM ensure safe operations, support environmental impact analyses, protect resources through avoidance measures, and perform other statutory responsibilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seismic and exploratory drilling activities may result in the disturbance of marine mammals through sound, discharge of pollutants, and the physical presence of vessels. Drill sites would impact visual resources. A very large oil spill scenario would cause: sustained degradation of water quality and ecosystems; contamination of essential fish habitat; toxic exposure of marine and terrestrial species; contamination of the shoreline with major disruption of subsistence practices; displacement of recreationists and reduction in tourism; acute disturbance of visual resources; and impacts to public health.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - HURRICANE AND STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT, MID-REACH SEGMENT, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 963637272; 15188-2_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach along 7.8 miles of shoreline known as the Mid-Reach in Brevard County, Florida is proposed. The project area is located on the east coast of Florida just south of Cape Canaveral and contains the municipalities of Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, and Melbourne and portions of unincorporated Brevard County. Beaches are in a state of severe erosion and shoreline recession. The Mid-Reach was previously studied as part of the Brevard County Shore Protection Project, but was removed from the recommended plan in the final EIS of 1996 due to concerns about impact to the nearshore hardbottom. The locally preferred plan (Local Option 6) is also the recommended plan in this final supplemental EIS. Local Option 6 would implement a small-scale dune and beach fill using beach-compatible sand from offshore borrow sources. The plan consists of a 10-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reach 1, a 20-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reaches 2 and 3, a 10-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reaches 4 and 5, and a dune fill with no added advanced nourishment in Reach 6. The approximate volume of sand that would be placed includes an initial design fill of 445,000 cubic yards plus an advanced nourishment fill of 210,000 cubic yards for a total fill of 655,000 cubic yards at initial construction. Fill would be accomplished by rehabilitating the Poseidon dredged material management area (DMMA) at Port Canaveral, dredging material from Canaveral Shoals with placement into the Poseidon DMMA every six years, and hauling by dumptruck to the Mid-Reach for placement on the beach at three year intervals. Total cost of implementing the recommended plan over 50 years is estimated at $164.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce damages caused by erosion and coastal storms, benefit recreational resources, and protect shoreline property. Erosion protection would vary along the length of the Mid-Reach from a 5-year storm level to a 75-year storm level. The project would yield an estimated $12.9 million annually through prevention of storm damage and incidental recreation benefits with a benefit-cost ratio of 3.1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would disturb biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment. It is anticipated that placement of sand would impact 3.0 acres of nearshore rock hardbottom resulting in the loss of a biologically significant marine ecosystem.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would facilitate NMFS decision-making through proactive analysis of the effects of multiple exploration activities and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The collection of high-resolution shallow hazards data would help the BOEM ensure safe operations, support environmental impact analyses, protect resources through avoidance measures, and perform other statutory responsibilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Seismic and exploratory drilling activities may result in the disturbance of marine mammals through sound, discharge of pollutants, and the physical presence of vessels. Drill sites would impact visual resources. A very large oil spill scenario would cause: sustained degradation of water quality and ecosystems; contamination of essential fish habitat; toxic exposure of marine and terrestrial species; contamination of the shoreline with major disruption of subsistence practices; displacement of recreationists and reduction in tourism; acute disturbance of visual resources; and impacts to public health.

AN - 16373662; 15188 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach along 7.8 miles of shoreline known as the Mid-Reach in Brevard County, Florida is proposed. The project area is located on the east coast of Florida just south of Cape Canaveral and contains the municipalities of Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, and Melbourne and portions of unincorporated Brevard County. Beaches are in a state of severe erosion and shoreline recession. The Mid-Reach was previously studied as part of the Brevard County Shore Protection Project, but was removed from the recommended plan in the final EIS of 1996 due to concerns about impact to the nearshore hardbottom. The locally preferred plan (Local Option 6) is also the recommended plan in this final supplemental EIS. Local Option 6 would implement a small-scale dune and beach fill using beach-compatible sand from offshore borrow sources. The plan consists of a 10-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reach 1, a 20-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reaches 2 and 3, a 10-foot extension of the mean high water line plus advanced nourishment to maintain that design fill volume in Reaches 4 and 5, and a dune fill with no added advanced nourishment in Reach 6. The approximate volume of sand that would be placed includes an initial design fill of 445,000 cubic yards plus an advanced nourishment fill of 210,000 cubic yards for a total fill of 655,000 cubic yards at initial construction. Fill would be accomplished by rehabilitating the Poseidon dredged material management area (DMMA) at Port Canaveral, dredging material from Canaveral Shoals with placement into the Poseidon DMMA every six years, and hauling by dumptruck to the Mid-Reach for placement on the beach at three year intervals. Total cost of implementing the recommended plan over 50 years is estimated at $164.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce damages caused by erosion and coastal storms, benefit recreational resources, and protect shoreline property. Erosion protection would vary along the length of the Mid-Reach from a 5-year storm level to a 75-year storm level. The project would yield an estimated $12.9 million annually through prevention of storm damage and incidental recreation benefits with a benefit-cost ratio of 3.1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would disturb biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment. It is anticipated that placement of sand would impact 3.0 acres of nearshore rock hardbottom resulting in the loss of a biologically significant marine ecosystem.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - ILLINOIS COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 963635625; 15180-4_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP), which describes current state coastal legislation and management policies, is proposed. The ICMP is based on a framework and process for linking existing state programs, agencies, and laws into a system that will meet federal requirements under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) for an effective state coastal management program. It provides for the management of all land and water uses having a direct and significant impact on coastal waters. Policies are articulated for: public waters, navigation and the public interest; erosion and flooding; water quality and supply; habitats, wetlands, and wildlife; historic, archaeological and cultural resources; recreation and public access; economic development; and energy facilities and air quality. The ICMP would require the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to monitor all state actions which could affect coastal resources, resolve conflicts between state agency decisions and the provisions of the ICMP, and enhance implementation of core programs such as addressing erosion hazards, economically depressed waterfront areas, and planning for and creating public access. Examples of tasks that would be performed include program administration, federal consistency review, ICMP review and evaluation, networking with state and local agencies, outreach and education, and grant administration. Illinois uses a two-component inland boundary: the Lakeshore Boundary defines the landward limit of the coastal zone inland, and is generally parallel to the Lake Michigan shoreline; the Inland Waterway Boundary consists of a corridor that extends along the near-lake segments of the river systems that historically flowed to Lake Michigan but are now engineered to flow away from the lake. The inland waterway corridors consist of both the waterway, and designated land area to either side of the waterway, and include select segments of the Chicago River system and the Little and Grand Calumet Rivers. Three alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 1, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) would approve the ICMP. Alternative 2 is the No Action Alternative and would deny approval of the ICMP. Under Alternative 3, OCRM could delay approval if any element of the ICMP does not meet requirements and requires some modification. The preliminary determination is that the proposed ICMP is consistent with the objectives and policies of the CZMA and that the award of federal funds will help meet those objectives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the ICMP would qualify Illinois for federal matching of funds for use in administering the program. Implementation would enhance governance of coastal land and water uses and would strengthen local stakeholder capacity to initiate and continue effective coastal management consistent with identified state standards and criteria. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: With or without the ICMP, the intensely developed and populated Illinois coastal region would likely continue to be affected by additional development. Approval of the ICMP would commit funds and personnel to a program which must weigh diverse, often conflicting values, between resource protection and development. The denial or delay of approval of the ICMP would result in the loss of approximately $2 million in federal funds annually to administer the program and of the opportunity to ensure consistency of federal activities in or affecting its coastal areas.

[Part 15 of 18] T2 - SUISUN MARSH HABITAT MANAGEMENT, PRESERVATION, AND RESTORATION PLAN, SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 928982152; 15175-9_0015 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive plan to address conflicts regarding use of resources within Suisun Marsh, Solano County, California is proposed. The Suisun Habitat Management, Preservation, and Restoration Plan is intended to balance the benefits of tidal wetland restoration with other habitat uses by evaluating alternatives that provide an acceptable change in land uses, such as salt marsh harvest mouse habitat, managed wetlands, public use, and upland habitat. Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta estuary ecosystem. It is home to public waterfowl hunting areas and 158 private duck clubs. The Marsh encompasses more than 10 percent of Californias remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 different reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species. Approximately 200 miles of levees in the Marsh contribute to managing salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Large open spaces and proximity to urban areas make the Marsh ideally suited for wildlife viewing, hiking, canoeing, and other recreation opportunities. A group of local, state, and federal agencies with primary responsibility for management are pursuing the Suisun Marsh Plan (SMP), and this final EIS describes three alternative 30-year plans, as well as a No Action Plan. The total amount of existing managed wetlands and uplands that could be affected by SMP activities is 52,112 acres. Under Alternative A, which is the proposed project and preferred alternative, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored to self-sustaining tidal wetland and the remaining 44,000 to 46,000 acres of managed wetlands would be enhanced for levee stability and flood and drain capabilities. Alternative B and Alternative C would restore 2,000 to 4,000 acres and 7,000 to 9,000 acres of tidal wetland, respectively. Land suitable for restoration would be acquired only from willing sellers. Activities would include: breaching or lowering existing levees; upgrading or constructing new levees; grading pond bottoms; installing or replacing pipe, drain pumps, and platforms; replacing riprap and water control structures; installing alternate bank protection; constructing cofferdams; installing new fish screens; repairing or replacing salinity monitoring stations; and dredging from tidal sloughs. Over the 30-year SMP implementation period, it is expected that the exact habitat amount provided by restored areas will depend on the existing elevation of the site, sedimentation rates and accretion, and sea level rise. The amount of subtidal aquatic habitat is expected to decrease gradually as sediment accretes and emergent tidal vegetation is established at each restoration site. As this happens, the site will be restored to a tidal wetland. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of a regional plan would balance implementation of the CALFED Program, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, and other management and restoration programs in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners. Under the preferred plan, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored as tidal wetlands and tidal aquatic habitat would increase by 250 to 1,050 acres. Fish habitat would be improved due to increased oxygen concentrations in tidal channels and shorebird and waterfowl populations would benefit from improved nesting and winter habitat. The potential for catastrophic flooding would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction-related emissions would exceed draft local standards for restoration and management activities; and noise-sensitive land uses would be exposed to noise from portable pump operations. Construction and dredging could damage pipelines and disrupt electrical, gas, or other energy supplies.

AN - 928982133; 15175-9_0013 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive plan to address conflicts regarding use of resources within Suisun Marsh, Solano County, California is proposed. The Suisun Habitat Management, Preservation, and Restoration Plan is intended to balance the benefits of tidal wetland restoration with other habitat uses by evaluating alternatives that provide an acceptable change in land uses, such as salt marsh harvest mouse habitat, managed wetlands, public use, and upland habitat. Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta estuary ecosystem. It is home to public waterfowl hunting areas and 158 private duck clubs. The Marsh encompasses more than 10 percent of Californias remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 different reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species. Approximately 200 miles of levees in the Marsh contribute to managing salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Large open spaces and proximity to urban areas make the Marsh ideally suited for wildlife viewing, hiking, canoeing, and other recreation opportunities. A group of local, state, and federal agencies with primary responsibility for management are pursuing the Suisun Marsh Plan (SMP), and this final EIS describes three alternative 30-year plans, as well as a No Action Plan. The total amount of existing managed wetlands and uplands that could be affected by SMP activities is 52,112 acres. Under Alternative A, which is the proposed project and preferred alternative, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored to self-sustaining tidal wetland and the remaining 44,000 to 46,000 acres of managed wetlands would be enhanced for levee stability and flood and drain capabilities. Alternative B and Alternative C would restore 2,000 to 4,000 acres and 7,000 to 9,000 acres of tidal wetland, respectively. Land suitable for restoration would be acquired only from willing sellers. Activities would include: breaching or lowering existing levees; upgrading or constructing new levees; grading pond bottoms; installing or replacing pipe, drain pumps, and platforms; replacing riprap and water control structures; installing alternate bank protection; constructing cofferdams; installing new fish screens; repairing or replacing salinity monitoring stations; and dredging from tidal sloughs. Over the 30-year SMP implementation period, it is expected that the exact habitat amount provided by restored areas will depend on the existing elevation of the site, sedimentation rates and accretion, and sea level rise. The amount of subtidal aquatic habitat is expected to decrease gradually as sediment accretes and emergent tidal vegetation is established at each restoration site. As this happens, the site will be restored to a tidal wetland. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of a regional plan would balance implementation of the CALFED Program, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, and other management and restoration programs in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners. Under the preferred plan, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored as tidal wetlands and tidal aquatic habitat would increase by 250 to 1,050 acres. Fish habitat would be improved due to increased oxygen concentrations in tidal channels and shorebird and waterfowl populations would benefit from improved nesting and winter habitat. The potential for catastrophic flooding would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction-related emissions would exceed draft local standards for restoration and management activities; and noise-sensitive land uses would be exposed to noise from portable pump operations. Construction and dredging could damage pipelines and disrupt electrical, gas, or other energy supplies.

Under the preferred plan, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored as tidal wetlands and tidal aquatic habitat would increase by 250 to 1,050 acres. Fish habitat would be improved due to increased oxygen concentrations in tidal channels and shorebird and waterfowl populations would benefit from improved nesting and winter habitat. The potential for catastrophic flooding would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction-related emissions would exceed draft local standards for restoration and management activities; and noise-sensitive land uses would be exposed to noise from portable pump operations. Construction and dredging could damage pipelines and disrupt electrical, gas, or other energy supplies.

AN - 928982094; 15175-9_0008 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive plan to address conflicts regarding use of resources within Suisun Marsh, Solano County, California is proposed. The Suisun Habitat Management, Preservation, and Restoration Plan is intended to balance the benefits of tidal wetland restoration with other habitat uses by evaluating alternatives that provide an acceptable change in land uses, such as salt marsh harvest mouse habitat, managed wetlands, public use, and upland habitat. Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta estuary ecosystem. It is home to public waterfowl hunting areas and 158 private duck clubs. The Marsh encompasses more than 10 percent of Californias remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 different reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species. Approximately 200 miles of levees in the Marsh contribute to managing salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Large open spaces and proximity to urban areas make the Marsh ideally suited for wildlife viewing, hiking, canoeing, and other recreation opportunities. A group of local, state, and federal agencies with primary responsibility for management are pursuing the Suisun Marsh Plan (SMP), and this final EIS describes three alternative 30-year plans, as well as a No Action Plan. The total amount of existing managed wetlands and uplands that could be affected by SMP activities is 52,112 acres. Under Alternative A, which is the proposed project and preferred alternative, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored to self-sustaining tidal wetland and the remaining 44,000 to 46,000 acres of managed wetlands would be enhanced for levee stability and flood and drain capabilities. Alternative B and Alternative C would restore 2,000 to 4,000 acres and 7,000 to 9,000 acres of tidal wetland, respectively. Land suitable for restoration would be acquired only from willing sellers. Activities would include: breaching or lowering existing levees; upgrading or constructing new levees; grading pond bottoms; installing or replacing pipe, drain pumps, and platforms; replacing riprap and water control structures; installing alternate bank protection; constructing cofferdams; installing new fish screens; repairing or replacing salinity monitoring stations; and dredging from tidal sloughs. Over the 30-year SMP implementation period, it is expected that the exact habitat amount provided by restored areas will depend on the existing elevation of the site, sedimentation rates and accretion, and sea level rise. The amount of subtidal aquatic habitat is expected to decrease gradually as sediment accretes and emergent tidal vegetation is established at each restoration site. As this happens, the site will be restored to a tidal wetland. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of a regional plan would balance implementation of the CALFED Program, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, and other management and restoration programs in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners.

Under Alternative A, which is the proposed project and preferred alternative, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored to self-sustaining tidal wetland and the remaining 44,000 to 46,000 acres of managed wetlands would be enhanced for levee stability and flood and drain capabilities. Alternative B and Alternative C would restore 2,000 to 4,000 acres and 7,000 to 9,000 acres of tidal wetland, respectively. Land suitable for restoration would be acquired only from willing sellers. Activities would include: breaching or lowering existing levees; upgrading or constructing new levees; grading pond bottoms; installing or replacing pipe, drain pumps, and platforms; replacing riprap and water control structures; installing alternate bank protection; constructing cofferdams; installing new fish screens; repairing or replacing salinity monitoring stations; and dredging from tidal sloughs. Over the 30-year SMP implementation period, it is expected that the exact habitat amount provided by restored areas will depend on the existing elevation of the site, sedimentation rates and accretion, and sea level rise. The amount of subtidal aquatic habitat is expected to decrease gradually as sediment accretes and emergent tidal vegetation is established at each restoration site. As this happens, the site will be restored to a tidal wetland. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of a regional plan would balance implementation of the CALFED Program, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, and other management and restoration programs in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners. Under the preferred plan, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored as tidal wetlands and tidal aquatic habitat would increase by 250 to 1,050 acres. Fish habitat would be improved due to increased oxygen concentrations in tidal channels and shorebird and waterfowl populations would benefit from improved nesting and winter habitat. The potential for catastrophic flooding would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction-related emissions would exceed draft local standards for restoration and management activities; and noise-sensitive land uses would be exposed to noise from portable pump operations. Construction and dredging could damage pipelines and disrupt electrical, gas, or other energy supplies.

AN - 928982001; 15175-9_0006 AB - PURPOSE: A comprehensive plan to address conflicts regarding use of resources within Suisun Marsh, Solano County, California is proposed. The Suisun Habitat Management, Preservation, and Restoration Plan is intended to balance the benefits of tidal wetland restoration with other habitat uses by evaluating alternatives that provide an acceptable change in land uses, such as salt marsh harvest mouse habitat, managed wetlands, public use, and upland habitat. Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta estuary ecosystem. It is home to public waterfowl hunting areas and 158 private duck clubs. The Marsh encompasses more than 10 percent of Californias remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 different reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species. Approximately 200 miles of levees in the Marsh contribute to managing salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Large open spaces and proximity to urban areas make the Marsh ideally suited for wildlife viewing, hiking, canoeing, and other recreation opportunities.

The Suisun Habitat Management, Preservation, and Restoration Plan is intended to balance the benefits of tidal wetland restoration with other habitat uses by evaluating alternatives that provide an acceptable change in land uses, such as salt marsh harvest mouse habitat, managed wetlands, public use, and upland habitat. Suisun Marsh is the largest contiguous brackish water marsh remaining on the west coast of North America and is a critical part of the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta estuary ecosystem. It is home to public waterfowl hunting areas and 158 private duck clubs. The Marsh encompasses more than 10 percent of Californias remaining natural wetlands and provides important habitat for more than 221 bird species, 45 mammalian species, 16 different reptile and amphibian species, and more than 40 fish species. Approximately 200 miles of levees in the Marsh contribute to managing salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Large open spaces and proximity to urban areas make the Marsh ideally suited for wildlife viewing, hiking, canoeing, and other recreation opportunities. A group of local, state, and federal agencies with primary responsibility for management are pursuing the Suisun Marsh Plan (SMP), and this final EIS describes three alternative 30-year plans, as well as a No Action Plan. The total amount of existing managed wetlands and uplands that could be affected by SMP activities is 52,112 acres. Under Alternative A, which is the proposed project and preferred alternative, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored to self-sustaining tidal wetland and the remaining 44,000 to 46,000 acres of managed wetlands would be enhanced for levee stability and flood and drain capabilities. Alternative B and Alternative C would restore 2,000 to 4,000 acres and 7,000 to 9,000 acres of tidal wetland, respectively. Land suitable for restoration would be acquired only from willing sellers. Activities would include: breaching or lowering existing levees; upgrading or constructing new levees; grading pond bottoms; installing or replacing pipe, drain pumps, and platforms; replacing riprap and water control structures; installing alternate bank protection; constructing cofferdams; installing new fish screens; repairing or replacing salinity monitoring stations; and dredging from tidal sloughs. Over the 30-year SMP implementation period, it is expected that the exact habitat amount provided by restored areas will depend on the existing elevation of the site, sedimentation rates and accretion, and sea level rise. The amount of subtidal aquatic habitat is expected to decrease gradually as sediment accretes and emergent tidal vegetation is established at each restoration site. As this happens, the site will be restored to a tidal wetland. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of a regional plan would balance implementation of the CALFED Program, the Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement, and other management and restoration programs in a manner responsive to the concerns of stakeholders and based upon voluntary participation by private landowners. Under the preferred plan, 5,000 to 7,000 acres would be restored as tidal wetlands and tidal aquatic habitat would increase by 250 to 1,050 acres. Fish habitat would be improved due to increased oxygen concentrations in tidal channels and shorebird and waterfowl populations would benefit from improved nesting and winter habitat. The potential for catastrophic flooding would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction-related emissions would exceed draft local standards for restoration and management activities; and noise-sensitive land uses would be exposed to noise from portable pump operations. Construction and dredging could damage pipelines and disrupt electrical, gas, or other energy supplies.

Nitrogen (N) stable isotope ratios (15N:14N) in dated sediments from 25 remote Northern Hemisphere lakes show a coherent signal of an isotopically distinct source of N to ecosystems beginning in 1895 plus or minus 10 years ( plus or minus 1 standard deviation). Initial shifts in N isotope composition recorded in lake sediments coincide with anthropogenic CO2 emissions but accelerate with widespread industrial Nr production during the past half century. Although current atmospheric Nr deposition rates in remote regions are relatively low, anthropogenic N has probably influenced watershed N budgets across the Northern Hemisphere for over a century.

The goal of the study was to select the algorithm which provides the highest and the most uniform SST accuracy within the area observed by the geostationary sensor. The previously established algorithms, such as Non-Linear Regression (NLR) and Optimal Estimation (OE) were implemented along with two new algorithms, Incremental Regression (IncR) and Corrected Non-Linear Regression (CNLR), developed within preparations for the GOES-R ABI mission. OE, IncR and CNLR adopt the first guesses for SST and brightness temperatures (BT) and retrieve deviations of SST from the first guess (increments). OE retrieves SST increments with inversion of the radiative transfer model, whereas CNLR and IncR use regression equations. The difference between CNLR and IncR is that CNLR uses NLR coefficients, whereas IncR implies optimization of coefficients specifically for incremental formulation. Accuracy and precision of SST retrievals were evaluated by comparison with drifting buoys. The major observations from this study are as follows: 1) all algorithms adopting first guesses for SST and BTs are capable of improving SST accuracy and precision over NLR; and 2) IncR delivers the highest overall SST precision and the most uniform distributions of regional SST accuracy and precision. This paper also addresses implementation and validation issues such as bias correction in simulated BTs; preserving sensitivity of incremental SST retrievals to true SST variations; and selection of criteria for optimization and validation of incremental algorithms.

We developed and applied a multi-species, individual-based model to examine the long-term effects of increasing number of reefs on fish weight, abundance, and biomass. The model simulated the population dynamics of three fish species for 50 years on a 2-dimensional spatial grid. Growth, mortality, and movement were computed each hour for individuals of red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), a croaker-like species (Micropogonias chromis), and a pinfish-like species (Lagodon rhomboides). We also included individuals of two other species (bluefish -Pomatomus saltatrix and a generic jack-like species), but only simulated their hourly movement and their effects on prey and predation of the focal species. The densities of five prey groups were simulated independently in each cell. Our results showed that increasing the number of reefs generally produced higher biomass, but at the cost of slower growth, and smaller individuals. Abundance was higher under fixed-AR recruitment and maximum refuge treatments. In all treatments there were diminishing returns on abundance and biomass with increasing number of artificial reefs. Experiment 2 showed that model results based on regularly spaced reefs were consistent with a real layout of reefs currently being sampled in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Management strategies for determining the habitat-value of reefs in the Gulf of Mexico should consider the number of reefs and the local spatial layout of the reefs to ensure they are optimally arranged.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 18A TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SNAPPER GROUPER FISHERY OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AN - 928982003; 15170-4_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 snapper grouper 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. Amendment 17B to the FMP established strict accountability measures (AMs) for black sea bass that close the fishery when the commercial and recreational annual catch limits are met or projected to be met. To prevent 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 modify the current rebuilding strategy, reduce participation and effort in the black sea bass pot component of the snapper grouper fishery, and adjust the current system of accountability in the recreational sector. Proposed measures include: the establishment of an endorsement program and other modifications to the commercial black sea bass pot fishery; increasing minimum size limits for both commercial and recreational fisheries; and the establishment of measures to 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 black sea bass 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 that have arisen as a result of a more stringent regulatory regime in the South Atlantic region. Measures to limit participation in black sea bass component of the 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 and trip quality. 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.

In these cases, the vapor and liquid must be physically separated (without change to either), before the individual phases can be collected and analyzed. It is not possible to analyze two-phase flows otherwise. Although the two phases are at equilibrium, it is imperative that no liquid contaminate the vapor, and no vapor be entrained in the liquid at a given temperature and pressure. In this paper, we describe a simple on-line device that can individually separate and collect the vapor and liquid phases of a two-phase flow. The apparatus, which we call P super(2SC, uses an adaptation of the branch point separator, with vapor collection done downstream in a metal bellows. The liquid collection is done in a length of Teflon tube. The separated vapor and liquid phases are then easily transferred into any desired analytical instrument with a syringe, although any sample introduction method, such as a valve, could be used as well. We discuss the application of this device with a stream of thermally stressed rocket kerosene.)

AN - 959102072; 2012-036019 AB - If we reduce fossil fuel emissions and slow the Arctic warming rate, can we delay or even avoid the permafrost carbon tipping point? Permafrost currently contains about 1466 Gt of carbon frozen during or since the last ice age. The permafrost carbon tipping point occurs when the release of carbon from thawing permafrost overpowers enhanced uptake due to warmer temperatures. The tipping point indicates when the Arctic irreversibly changes from a carbon sink to a source relative to the atmosphere and marks the start of the Permafrost Carbon Feedback. The tipping point is irreversible because once the carbon thaws and decays into the atmosphere, there is no way to put the carbon back into the permafrost. Projections based on the A1B IPCC scenario indicate that the PCF tipping point will occur between 2020 and 2030, with a total of 190+ or -64 Gt of carbon released into the atmosphere by 2300. We ran a series of model projections out to 2300 based on the A1B scenario, but capped emissions at various levels, each representing a different overall Arctic warming. We present the area of permafrost lost, the permafrost carbon tipping point, and total permafrost carbon flux as a function of Arctic temperature increase. We show the maximum allowed Arctic temperature increase before initiating the permafrost carbon feedback.

The accuracy of the global marine gravity field is limited by the availability of non-repeat altimeter data. Current models, having accuracies of 3-5 milligals (e.g., S&S V18 and DNSC08), are based on the non-repeat data collected by Geosat (18 mo.) and ERS-1 (12 mo.) which use altimeter technology from the 70's and 80's, respectively. Over the next 3 to 5 years, a wealth of new marine gravity data will be provided by three currently operating satellite altimeters CryoSat, Jason-1, and Envisat. With careful processing of the data, in combination with data from past Geosat and ERS-1/GM altimeter missions, we expect to improve the accuracy of the global marine gravity field by at least a factor of two and in some areas a factor of four. In addition to track coverage, the accuracy of the recovered gravity field depends on the accuracy of the arrival time parameter. We have developed an optimized retracking algorithm for CryoSat in the LRM mode and show that the arrival time estimated from CryoSat is 1.4 times better than Geosat and ERS-1. This is consistent with a 2 times higher pulse repetition frequency for CryoSat. We are currently developing a retracking algorithm for CryoSat in the SAR mode and expect a factor of 2 or more improvement in the accuracy of the arrival time. CryoSat has been collecting ocean data for 1.5 years and the ground track density is now adequate to make significant improvements in the marine gravity field. We will construct an improved global gravity model based on these data and provide an evaluation at the meeting.

The number of Santa Ana days per winter season is approximately 20% fewer in the mid 21st century compared to the late 20th century. Since the only systematic and sustained difference between these two periods is the level of anthropogenic forcing, this effect is anthropogenic in origin. In both time periods, Santa Ana winds are partly katabatically-driven by a temperature difference between the cold wintertime air pooling in the desert against coastal mountains and the adjacent warm air over the ocean. However, this katabatic mechanism is significantly weaker during the mid 21st century time period. This occurs because of the well-documented differential warming associated with transient climate change, with more warming in the desert interior than over the ocean. Thus the mechanism responsible for the decrease in Santa Ana frequency originates from a well-known aspect of the climate response to increasing greenhouse gases, but cannot be understood or simulated without mesoscale atmospheric dynamics. In addition to the change in Santa Ana frequency, we investigate changes during Santa Anas in two other meteorological variables known to be relevant to fire weather conditions-relative humidity and temperature. We find a decrease in the relative humidity and an increase in temperature. Both these changes would favor fire. A fire behavior model accounting for changes in wind, temperature, and relative humidity simultaneously is necessary to draw firm conclusions about future fire risk and growth associated with Santa Ana events. While our results are somewhat limited by a relatively small sample size, they illustrate an observed and explainable regional change in climate due to plausible mesoscale processes.

Effects of a Vibrio sp. Probiotic Candidate Upon Survival of Oyster Larvae (Crassostrea virginica) in Pilot-Scale Trials AN - 954644692; 16386728 AB - Environmentally-friendly methods for controlling microbial pathogenesis in aquaculture with probiotic bacteria are becoming increasingly preferred over the use of chemical means, such as disinfectants or antibiotics. Previous research at the Milford Laboratory has shown that naturally-occurring bacteria isolated from the digestive glands of adult oysters (Crassostrea virginica) show promise as potential probiotic additives in oyster larviculture, based on bench-scale experiments. The previous, bench-scale challenge studies reported in the accompanying article (Lim et al. this volume) indicated that 48-h survival of 2-dayold oyster larvae supplemented with Vibrio sp. strain OY15 improved after challenge with pathogenic Vibrio sp. strain B183 compared with the pathogen alone. This study investigated further the effectiveness of probiotic candidate OY15 to improve survival of oyster larvae to metamorphosis under pilot-scale culture conditions, both with and without pathogen B183 challenge. The effective dosage of probiotic candidate OY15 that significantly improved larval survival was determined to be 103 cfu/mL. The LD50 calculated for pathogen B183 was 9.6 104 cfu/mL. Results from these bioassays indicated that addition of probiotic candidate OY15 significantly improved survival of oyster larvae to metamorphosis when challenged with pathogen B183 in pilot-scale trials. These studies can provide the basis for the development of functional foods for use in shellfish larviculture that incorporate a naturally-occurring, probiotic bacterial strain.

Isolation and Screening for Bioactivity AN - 954644689; 16386727 AB - Hatchery production of shellfish seed is necessary to supplement natural recruitment, which is constrained by various stresses, including habitat loss, pollutant contamination, overfishing, and climate change. Bacterial diseases are considered to be a major cause of mortality in hatchery shellfish larviculture; however, overuse of antimicrobials can result in development of resistant strains of bacterial pathogens. The use of probiotics for disease prevention and improved nutrition in aquaculture is becoming increasingly popular as the demand for environmentally-friendly aquaculture grows. The objective of this study was to isolate and evaluate the efficacy of new probiotic bacteria that, incorporated into functional foods for use in shellfish hatcheries, may significantly improve larval survival. First, 26 probiotic-candidate bacteria were isolated from oysters, scallops, and a mass culture of green algae. Fifteen of these isolates (8 oyster strains and 7 bay scallop strains) inhibited known scallop-pathogen bacterial strains B183 and B122 in disk-diffusion assays. Similar to control (unchallenged) oyster larvae, survival of oyster larvae exposed to these 15 probiotic candidates for 48 h was more than 90%. The probiotic candidates were then reisolated from challenged larvae and characterized by Gram stain, colony morphology on solid agar, and the Biolog Bacterial Identification System, finding only 7 distinct strains. Using 12-well microplate assays, 5-day challenges were performed to confirm positive effects of these 7 probiotic candidates on larval survival when challenged with pathogen B183. Oyster larvae exposed to probiotic candidate OY15 had the highest survival; furthermore, survival of pathogen-challenged larvae was significantly improved by the presence of OY15 compared with pathogen alone. In addition, probiotic candidate OY15 exhibited no toxic effects on the microalgal feed strain Isochrysis sp. (T-ISO) in the range of 102-104 cfu/mL. Future studies will confirm optimal dosage and positive effects of probiotic candidate OY15 on survival during long-term rearing of oyster larvae.

Here, we disperse gold, silver, cerium oxide, and positively-charged polystyrene nanoparticles in cell culture media, using the timing between mixing steps to control agglomerate size in otherwise identical media. These protein-stabilized dispersions are generally stable for at least two days, with mean agglomerate sizes of similar to 23 nm silver nanoparticles ranging from 43-1400 nm and average relative standard deviations of less than 10%. Mixing rate, timing between mixing steps and nanoparticle concentration are shown to be critical for achieving reproducible dispersions. We characterize the size distributions of agglomerated nanoparticles by further developing dynamic light scattering theory and diffusion limited colloidal aggregation theory. These theories frequently affect the estimated size by a factor of two or more. Finally, we demonstrate the importance of controlling agglomeration by showing that large agglomerates of silver nanoparticles cause significantly less hemolytic toxicity than small agglomerates.

The stock and fishery range from Massachusetts to North Carolina. The assessment and management of the summer flounder fishery has been very contentious since implementation of the joint Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission/Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council Fishery Management Plan (FMP) in 1989, when the poor status of the summer flounder stock was evident to scientists, managers, and fishermen. Management efforts to control fishing mortality in the face of increasing stock abundance and competing demand for fish from both the commercial and recreational sectors continue to evoke the question of "How much fish is enough?" to provide for long-term sustainability. In spite of the numerous controversies, however, by 2010 the fishing mortality on summer flounder had declined to its lowest level in at least 30 years, and summer flounder stock biomass was the highest since the stock assessments began in the 1960s. From a scientific perspective, future assessments need to: (a) better account for the uncertainty resulting from "internal model" retrospective error, (b) better integrate environmental, ecological, and other non-traditional calibration indices into the modeling framework, and (c) better discern summer flounder stock-recruitment dynamics by considering covariates such as environmental factors and predator/prey abundance. Initiatives are underway to acquire improved fishery and biological data to allow the assessments to better reflect the true "state of nature."

We used manual acoustic telemetry coupled with global positioning technology to track the detailed spatially explicit daily movements (24 h) of multiple individuals of two common Caribbean fish species, Haemulon sciurus (bluestriped grunt) and Lutjanus apodus (schoolmaster snapper). Movement pathways and day and night activity spaces were mapped and quantified in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Directional sun-synchronous migrations occurred close to astronomical sunset and sunrise. Site fidelity within day and night activity spaces was high. Nine of twelve individuals exhibited overlap of day and night activity spaces and three fish (L. apodus) exhibited complete spatial segregation. Night activity spaces (H. sciurus: 11,309 plus or minus 3,548 m super(2); L. apodus: 9,950 plus or minus 3,120 m super(2)) were significantly larger than day activity spaces (H. sciurus: 2,778 plus or minus 1,979 m super(2); L. apodus: 1,291 plus or minus 636 m super(2)). The distance between sequential position fixes (step lengths) was significantly greater at night than day, indicative of nocturnal foraging and day resting behavior. Integrating acoustic telemetry, GIS techniques and spatial statistics to study fish movement behavior revealed both individual variability and some broader generality in movement paths and activity spaces suggestive of complex underlying behavioral mechanisms influencing diel movements.

Acoustic telemetry revealed variation in movement among individuals that was related to body size. Larger lingcod tended to leave the release reef sooner than smaller lingcod. Four lingcod left the reefs less than 10 days after release, while three lingcod left between one and 4 months after release. Seven lingcod remained at the release reefs for the entire 5-month study, though they did make apparent short-term (< 24 h duration) excursions away from the reefs. Data suggest that the frequency and duration of excursions increase with age and size in both wild and hatchery lingcod. Movement data from these hatchery lingcod and previously published studies on wild lingcod are compared.

In this study, we compare the CFSR tropospheric analyses to two ensembles of analyses. The first ensemble consists of 12 h analyses from various operational analyses for the year 2007. This ensemble shows how well the CFSR analyses can capture the daily variability. The second ensemble consists of monthly means from the available reanalyses from the years 1979 to 2009 which is used to examine the trends. With the 2007 ensemble, we find that the CFSR captures the daily variability in 2007 better than the older reanalyses and is comparable to the operational analyses. With the ensemble of monthly means, the CFSR is often the outlier. The CFSR shows a strong warming trend in the tropics which is not seen in the observations or other reanalyses.

The oceanic component of CFSR includes many advances: (a) the MOM4 ocean model with an interactive sea-ice, (b) the 6 h coupled model forecast as the first guess, (c) inclusion of the mean climatological river runoff, and (d) high spatial (0.5 degree 0.5 degree ) and temporal (hourly) model outputs. Since the CFSR will be used by many in initializing/validating ocean models and climate research, the primary motivation of the paper is to inform the user community about the saline features in the CFSR ocean component, and how the ocean reanalysis compares with in situ observations and previous reanalysis. The net ocean surface heat flux of the CFSR has smaller biases compared to the sum of the latent and sensible heat fluxes from the objectively analyzed air-sea fluxes (OAFlux) and the shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP-FD) than the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (R1) and NCEP/DOE reanalysis (R2) in both the tropics and extratropics. The ocean surface wind stress of the CFSR has smaller biases and higher correlation with the ERA40 produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts than the R1 and R2, particularly in the tropical Indian and Pacific Ocean. The CFSR also has smaller errors compared to the QuickSCAT climatology for September 1999 to October 2009 than the R1 and R2. However, the trade winds of the CFSR in the central equatorial Pacific are too strong prior to 1999, and become close to observations once the ATOVS radiance data are assimilated in late 1998. A sudden reduction of easterly wind bias is related to the sudden onset of a warm bias in the eastern equatorial Pacific temperature around 1998/1999. The sea surface height and top 300 m heat content (HC300) of the CFSR compare with observations better than the GODAS in the tropical Indian Ocean and extratropics, but much worse in the tropical Atlantic, probably due to discontinuity in the deep ocean temperature and salinity caused by the six data streams of the CFSR. In terms of climate variability, the CFSR provides a good simulation of tropical instability waves and oceanic Kelvin waves in the tropical Pacific, and the dominant modes of HC300 that are associated with El Nino and Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole, Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Understanding the rates of uptake and elimination for microcystins as well as the transfer efficiency into tissues of consumers are important for determining the potential for microcystins to be transferred up the food web and for predicting potential human health impacts. The main objective of this work was to conduct laboratory experiments to investigate the kinetics of toxin accumulation in fish tissue. An oral route of exposure was employed in this study, in which juvenile yellow perch (Perca flavescens) were given a single oral dose of 5 or 20 mu g of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) via food and accumulation in the muscle, liver, and tank water were measured over 24 h. Peak concentrations of the water soluble fraction of microcystin were generally observed 8-10 h after dosing in the liver and after 12-16 h in the muscle, with a rapid decline in both tissues by 24 h. Up to 99% of the total recoverable (i.e., unbound) microcystin was measured in the tank water by 16 h after exposure. The relatively rapid uptake and elimination of the unbound fraction of microcystin in the liver and muscle of juvenile yellow perch within 24 h of exposure indicates that fish consumption may not be a major route of human exposure to microcystin, particularly in the Great Lakes.

The deployments were a component of a joint NOAA-U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research effort to improve definition of the rainfall conditions that trigger debris flows from steep topography within recent wildfire burn areas. A procedure was implemented to blend various dual-polarized estimators of precipitation (for radar observations taken below the freezing level) using threshold values for differential reflectivity and specific differential phase shift that improves the accuracy of the rainfall estimates over a specific burn area sited with terrestrial tipping-bucket rain gauges. The portable radar outperformed local Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) National Weather Service network radars in detecting rainfall capable of initiating post-fire runoff-generated debris flows. The network radars underestimated hourly precipitation totals by about 50%. Consistent with intensity-duration threshold curves determined from past debris-flow events in burned areas in Southern California, the portable radar-derived rainfall rates exceeded the empirical thresholds over a wider range of storm durations with a higher spatial resolution than local National Weather Service operational radars. Moreover, the truck-mounted C-band radar dual-polarimetric-derived estimates of rainfall intensity provided a better guide to the expected severity of debris-flow events, based on criteria derived from previous events using rain gauge data, than traditional radar-derived rainfall approaches using reflectivity-rainfall relationships for either the portable or operational network WSR-88D radars. Part of the reason for the improvement was due to siting the radar closer to the burn zone than the WSR-88Ds, but use of the dual-polarimetric variables improved the rainfall estimation by ~12% over the use of traditional Z-R relationships.

With the new algorithm, the precipitation analysis at a grid box of 8 8 km super(2) is defined in three steps. First, PMW estimates of instantaneous rain rates closest to the target analysis time in both the forward and backward directions are propagated from their observation times to the analysis time using the cloud system advection vectors (CSAVs) computed from the GEO-IR images. The "prediction" of the precipitation analysis is then defined by averaging the forward- and backward-propagated PMW estimates with weights inversely proportional to their error variance. The IR-based precipitation estimates are incorporated if the gap between the two PMW observations is longer than 90 min. Validation tests showed substantial improvements of the KF-based CMORPH against the original version in both the pattern correlation and fidelity of probability density function (PDF) of the precipitation intensity. In general, performance of the original CMORPH degrades sharply with poor pattern correlation and substantially elevated (damped) frequency for light (heavy) precipitation events when PMW precipitation estimates are available from fewer LEO satellites. The KF-based CMORPH is capable of producing high-resolution precipitation analysis with much more stable performance with various levels of availability for the PMW observations.

These methods include the National Mosaic and QPE algorithm package (NMQ), under development at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), and the Multisensor Precipitation Estimator (MPE) and High-Resolution Precipitation Estimator (HPE) suites currently operational at National Weather Service (NWS) field offices. The goal of the study is to determine which combination of algorithm features offers the greatest benefit toward operational hydrologic forecasting. These features include automated radar quality control, automated Z-R selection, brightband identification, bias correction, multiple radar data compositing, and gauge-radar merging, which all differ between NMQ and MPE-HPE. To examine the spatial and temporal characteristics of the precipitation fields produced by each of the QPE methodologies, high-resolution (4 km and hourly) gridded precipitation estimates were derived by each algorithm suite for three major precipitation events between 2003 and 2006 over subcatchments within the Tar-Pamlico River basin of North Carolina. The results indicate that the NMQ radar-only algorithm suite consistently yielded closer agreement with reference rain gauge reports than the corresponding HPE radar-only estimates did. Similarly, the NMQ radar-only QPE input generally yielded hydrologic simulations that were closer to observations at multiple stream gauging points. These findings indicate that the combination of Z-R selection and freezing-level identification algorithms within NMQ, but not incorporated within MPE and HPE, would have an appreciable positive impact on hydrologic simulations. There were relatively small differences between NMQ and HPE gauge-radar estimates in terms of accuracy and impacts on hydrologic simulations, most likely due to the large influence of the input rain gauge information.

Two are located in the Olympic Mountains and the other two in the western Cascades; and each has uniquely different topographic characteristics. The flood analysis is based on the maximum daily flow observed during each water year (WY) at each site [i.e., the annual peak daily flow (APDF)], with an initial emphasis on the 12 most recent water years between WY1998 and 2009, and then focusing on a 30-year interval between WY1980 and 2009. The shorter time period coincides with relatively complete passive microwave satellite coverage of integrated water vapor (IWV) over the Pacific basin. The combination of IWV imagery and streamflow data highlights a close link between landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) and APDFs (i.e., 46 of the 48 APDFs occurred with landfalling ARs). To complement this approach, the three-decade time series of APDFs, which correspond to the availability of the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) dataset, are examined. The APDFs occur most often, and are typically largest in magnitude, from November to January. The NARR is used to assess the composite meteorological conditions associated with the 10 largest APDFs at each site during this 30-year period. Heavy precipitation fell during the top 10 APDFs, and anomalously high composite NARR melting levels averaged ~1.9 km MSL, which is primarily above the four basins of interest. Hence, on average, mostly rain rather than snow fell within these basins, leading to enhanced runoff. The flooding on the four watersheds shared common meteorological attributes, including the presence of landfalling ARs with anomalous warmth, strong low-level water vapor fluxes, and weak static stability. There were also key differences that modulated the orographic control of precipitation. Notably, two watersheds experienced their top 10 APDFs when the low-level flow was southwesterly, while the other two basins had their largest APDFs with west-southwesterly flow. These differences arose because of the region's complex topography, basin orientations, and related rain shadowing.

The Z sub(DR) data were calibrated and corrected for differential attenuation. The results revealed greater variability in D sub(m) for larger spatial scales. Mean values of delta D sub(m) were respectively around 0.32-0.34, 0.28-0.30, and 0.24-0.26 mm at scales of 20, 10, and 4.5 km, which are representative of footprints of various spaceborne sensors. For a given spatial scale, delta D sub(m) decreases when the mean value of D sub(m) increases. At the 20-km scale the decreasing trend exhibits a factor-of-1.7 decrease of delta D sub(m) when the average D sub(m) changes from 1 to 2 mm. Estimation data suggest that this trend diminishes as the spatial scale decreases. Measurement noise and other uncertainties preclude accurate estimations of D sub(m) variability at smaller spatial scales because for many data points estimated variability values are equal to or less than the expected retrieval errors. Even though they are important for retrievals of absolute values of D sub(m), the details of the drop shape-size relation did not significantly affect estimates of size spatial variability. The polarization cross coupling in simultaneous transmission-simultaneous receiving measurement mode presents another limiting factor for accurate estimations of D sub(m). This factor, however, was not too severe in estimations of the size variability. There are indications that tuning the differential attenuation correction scheme might balance off some possible cross-coupling Z sub(DR) bias if differential phase accumulation is less than approximately 40 degree .

Design: Longitudinal data are from waves 1 and 2 of the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcoholism and Related Conditions (NESARC). Setting: The NESARC is a nation-wide, household-based survey. Participants: A total of 34 653 US resident participants who completed both NESARC waves were included in analyses. Measurements: Primary measures were history of NUPM and Axis I psychopathology at wave 1. Wave 1 personality disorder diagnosis and sociodemographic characteristics were used as control variables. Findings: Design-based logistic regression analyses indicated that life-time and past year NUPM at wave 1 increased risk for onset of psychopathology among those with no history of psychopathology at baseline, with particular risk for non-NUPM substance use and bipolar disorders. Life-time and past year NUPM were associated with recurrence of alcohol and non-NUPM substance use disorders among those with these diagnoses at baseline. In contrast, life-time and past year NUPM was associated with the onset of all examined disorders among those with a different diagnosis at baseline. Conclusions: Non-medical use of prescription medications is a consistent risk factor for the onset and recurrence of psychopathology.

The model was evaluated for its applicability to simulate spatial and temporal variability of runoff generation areas observed on a pasture hillslope in the Sand Mountain region of North Alabama, United States. Three rainfall events of varying intensity and duration were simulated for a highly instrumented pasture hillslope to study the dynamics of runoff generation and runon areas. Calibration and cross validation were performed on all three rainfall events. Performance of the Hortonian Infiltration and Runoff/On-simulated hydrographs was evaluated using root mean squared error, coefficient of determination and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency. The calibrated model for the first event resulted in a root mean squared error of 1.18 m (super 3) (41.7 ft (super 3) ) for runoff volume; the next two events resulted in root mean squared errors of less than 1 m (super 3) (35.3 ft (super 3) ). Similarly, the coefficient of determination and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency values for all three events were greater than 0.70 for the calibrated model. Results from cross validation showed that the Hortonian Infiltration and Runoff/On model-simulated runoffs were in agreement with the observed data. In addition, the model simulated spatial and temporal variations in runoff generation, and runon areas were in agreement with observed variations. Model results helped explain the interactions among hydrologic and climatic characteristics, such as topography, soil parameters, and rainfall variations, and their connections to surface runoff-generation processes. Although the model does not simulate subsurface lateral flow, it shows promise for identifying runoff generation and runon areas for controlling nonpoint source pollution from pasture hillslopes in this and similar regions.

The environment of preservation was the overwhelming determinant of taphonomic state at SSETI sites. Species mix played a subsidiary role. A few consistent trends were observed: for example, Arctica islandica, Strombus luhuanus, Mytilus edulis, and Mercenaria mercenaria tended to be more highly dissolved than others. Mytilus edulis consistently was fragmented more than other species. Otherwise, most species behaved uniquely over a range of EOPs: significant species by EOP interactions were the norm. A taphofacies model is developed to examine further the role of species on the degradational state of the assemblage. Two metrics are described: a taphonomic degradation score describes the overall degradational state of the assemblage from pristine to highly degraded; and a taphonomic signature describes the relative importance of a suite of taphonomic processes. Model simulations show that the impact of species on degradational state is low initially because all shells are in relatively pristine condition shortly after death. The impact is high at intermediate degradational states because factors inherent to the species modulate the time course of taphonomic decay. The impact is low again at highly degraded assemblages, as the taphonomic process brings shell condition to a common denominator of relatively intense degradation regardless of species. Fossil assemblages almost certainly express this continuum in some degree. The consequence is that better preserved assemblages are ones in which species can affect taphofacies character and so similar EOPs may be judged distinctive due to differential dominance by one species or another. Teasing out characteristics that might forewarn the observer in this instance is an important goal. Simulations show that low evenness is an important warning sign.

SSETI retrieved shells from these EOPs after 2, 8, and 13 years. The degree of shell degradation was significantly influenced by species, elapsed time-since-deployment, and EOP. A suite of 'physical' taphonomic processes, such as dissolution, abrasion, discoloration, and edge alteration, increased in severity over the 13 years; fragmentation occurred in some species. Dissolution proceeded apace; however the incidence of chalkiness declined from high levels observed after a few years while the more extreme levels of dissolution, such as the development of a soft or deeply-dissolved surface, rose significantly in frequency. The incidence of original color declined, while fading of original color increased. Brown-to-red and green discoloration rose rapidly in the first eight years and then declined, leaving a faded shell surface. Between-habitat differences in degradation rate were significant for most taphonomic attributes. Between-species differences were minor in comparison. Thus, taphofacies, the product of the independent actions of a suite of taphonomic processes, originate from and provide information on environmental conditions. Species composition has a lesser inherent influence on the outcome. Not uncommonly, the rates of change in shell condition differed significantly between EOPs although the direction of change was coincident. This was particularly true of the summary indices such as maximum discoloration or the average degree of dissolution. The taphonomic process is nonlinear in time. Nonlinearity is EOP-dependent, becoming a defining attribute leading to disparate taphofacies types. Some taphonomic processes cannot proceed expeditiously without prior alteration of the shell through other taphonomic means. Some taphonomic conditions such as chalkiness can be intermediate states. The presumption that similar taphonomic characteristics between EOPs indicate similar environmental processes operating at similar rates is falsified by SSETI sites in which similar taphonomic indices at Year 13 accrued from different time-varying degradational rates during the preceding years.

Transitions in the US household income distribution AN - 911912408; 4255989 AB - In the five decades since Kuznets (1955) published his hypothesis on income inequality, a large and significant portion of the work on income distribution and inequality has involved using cross-sectional data for developmental comparisons at the intra- and international levels. Using cross-sectional data, these studies have tracked inequality trends that were deemed the consequence of growth and technical progress due to fiscal manipulations, such as levying taxes and granting subsidies to satisfy some welfare target. While this prior work provided valuable insight at the macroeconomic level on the interrelationship of development, economic growth, and income inequality, only over the last few decades has the research emphasis shifted from an understanding of the implications of income inequality at the aggregate level to that at the individual level. Using cross-sectional data it is possible to track income groups over time, but not the composition nor the characteristics of these groups, which are likely to change over time and affect their position in the income distribution. On the other hand, with the availability of longitudinal, micro-level data it has become possible to investigate in more detail underlying facets of income distribution, such as income mobility, and the lack of it, among households. Using three panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) (1993, 1996, and 2001) and building upon the methodological suggestions of Jarvis and Jenkins (1998) and Jenkins (2000), this paper looks at a household's economic and demographic characteristics relative to their position in the income distribution. For example, results indicate that between 1996-1999, 13 million households experienced changes in their annual income that resulted in their moving up or down two or more quintiles in the income distribution. On the other hand, 39 percent of households (38.5 million) remained in the same quintile between 1996-1999 with the majority of these households experiencing intra-quintile movements. Of notable interest is that of those households remaining in the fourth and top quintiles between 1996-1999; 70 percent and 65 percent, respectively, experienced positive intra-quintile gains in income ranging, on average, from $3,550 to $10,812 annually.

We used an analytical approach termed productivity-susceptibility analysis (PSA) to analyze the vulnerability of federally managed Alaska groundfish stocks to overfishing. The focus of the effort was non-target stocks that have limited data available for determining stock status and vulnerability. The PSA approach was originally created to assess risks to bycatch in Australian trawl fisheries and compares productivity attributes (e.g. life-history traits) to factors that determine a stock's susceptibility to fishing impacts, producing a combined score indicative of a stock's relative vulnerability to overfishing. We used a form of the PSA developed by a working group from the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service specifically for use in assessing vulnerability in federally managed fisheries. Alaska groundfish displayed a wide range of vulnerability scores, and this result was mainly due to variability in productivity scores. Susceptibility scores varied less than productivity scores and were centered on an intermediate value. The inclusion of target stocks in the PSA was valuable for assessing the relative vulnerability of the non-target stocks. Sensitivity analyses indicated that PSAs respond differently to changes in attribute scores depending on their initial conditions, and managers should be careful in interpreting changes in PSA results when stocks are re-evaluated.

Scientists have already paid much attention to the first three objectives and to the development of their indicators. Although there have been some efforts to develop socioeconomic indicators, relatively less attention has been paid to socioeconomic status and the development of its indicators. In addition, the socioeconomic indicators developed to date are not firmly based on economic theory. We (i) discuss the problems with previous approaches to developing socioeconomic indicators; (ii) present theoretical foundations of a multi-attribute utility function (MAUF) approach in developing socioeconomic indicators; (iii) discuss the issues associated with implementing the MAUF approach for fisheries in Alaska; (iv) present, as an example, several socioeconomic indicators developed using the MAUF approach for a fishery off Alaska; and (v) present results from some sensitivity analyses for the form of utility functions and weights. Future directions are also discussed.

The model is forced by large-scale vertical velocity, zonal wind, horizontal advection, and sea surface temperature observed and derived from TOGA COARE. In cloud budget, rainfall is associated with cloud microphysical processes denoted by the net condensation and dynamical processes denoted by hydrometeor change/convergence. Thus, three rainfall types are separated in this scheme. Time-mean analysis shows that the rainfall type associated with hydrometeor loss/convergence only accounts for 27% of total rainfall, which corresponds to downward motions and downward water vapor and hydrometeor mass flux in the mid and lower troposphere. The two other rainfall types associated with the net condensation contribute equally to total rainfall (36%), which are generally related to upward motions and upward water vapor and hydrometeor mass flux throughout the troposphere.

We assessed relationships between human use patterns and debris type. Wave effects on marine debris density were examined using a GIS-based forecasting tool. We assessed the influence of site wave exposure, period, and height on debris quantity. Presence and abundance of debris were related to wave exposure, vegetation type and proximity of the strata to human population and human use patterns. Plastic pieces accounted for the majority of all debris. Small debris (0-5cm) was primarily composed of foam pieces and was frequently affiliated with natural wrack. Large debris (>100cm) was encountered in all marsh habitat types surveyed and was primarily composed of anthropogenic wood and derelict fishing gear. Marsh cleanup efforts should be targeted to specific habitat types or debris types to minimize further damage to sensitive habitats.

Climatologies for free tropospheric aerosol radiative properties in cloud-free air, including light scattering, light absorption, light extinction, single scattering albedo, Aangstrom exponent, hemispheric backscatter fraction and radiative forcing efficiency, from twelve high altitude (2.2-5.1km) measurement platforms are presented at low relative humidity and at standard temperature and pressure. These climatologies utilize data from ten mountaintop observatories in the 20-50 super(o)N latitude band: Mauna Loa, USA; Lulin Mountain, Taiwan; Nepal Climate Observatory - Pyramid; Izana, Spain; Mount Waliguan, China; Beo Moussala, Bulgaria; Mount Bachelor, USA; Monte Cimone, Italy; Jungfraujoch, Switzerland; Whistler Mountain, Canada. Results are also included from two multi-year, in-situ aerosol vertical profiling programs: Southern Great Plains, USA and Bondville, USA. The amount of light absorption and scattering observed at these high altitude sites either peaks in the spring or it has a broad spring to summer enhancement. The seasonal variation of the aerosol single scattering albedo, backscatter fraction and Aangstrom exponent changes from site to site but the timing can be related to aerosol sources and transport processes known to impact the individual sites. The seasonal variation of in-situ aerosol light extinction from these high altitude measurements is in excellent agreement with extinction values derived from CALIPSO lidar measurements. Analysis of the systematic variability among in-situ aerosol properties shows that these relationships can be used to infer aerosol types. In particular, the relationship between single scattering albedo and Aangstrom exponent can indicate the presence of dust aerosol. Radiative forcing efficiency (RFE=aerosol forcing/aerosol optical depth) is used to assess the importance of single scattering albedo and backscatter fraction on aerosol forcing by eliminating aerosol amount (i.e., aerosol optical depth) from the calculation. Variability in monthly cycles of RFE corresponds with changes in single scattering albedo and hemispheric backscatter fraction. Utilizing site-specific, climatological values of single scattering albedo and backscatter fraction to calculate RFE results in departures from the monthly median values of RFE typically in the range 10-30%. The greatest discrepancy occurs for months with low aerosol loading where the observed variability of single scattering albedo and backscatter fraction is the greatest. At most sites the radiative forcing efficiency at low aerosol loading (light scattering<10Mm-1) is slightly less negative (more warming) than at higher aerosol loading.

The model used is the gridded Sacramento (SAC) and kinematic-wave routing models of the National Weather Service (NWS) Hydrology Laboratory's Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (HL-RDHM) operating at an hourly time step. The data assimilation (DA) technique used is variational assimilation (VAR). Assimilating streamflow and soil moisture data into distributed hydrologic models is new and particularly challenging due to the large degrees of freedom associated with the inverse problem. This paper reports findings from the first phase of the research in which we assume, among others, perfectly known hydrometeorological forcing. The motivation for the simplification is to reduce the complexity of the problem in favour of improved understanding and easier interpretation even if it may compromise the goodness of the results. To assess the potential, two types of experiments, synthetic and real-world, were carried out for Eldon (ELDO2), a 795-km2 headwater catchment located near the Oklahoma (OK) and Arkansas (AR) border in the U.S. The synthetic experiment assesses the upper bound of the performance of the assimilation procedure under the idealized conditions of no structural or parametric errors in the models, a full dynamic range and no microscale variability in the in situ observations of soil moisture, and perfectly known univariate statistics of the observational errors. The results show that assimilating in situ soil moisture data in addition to streamflow data significantly improves analysis and prediction of soil moisture and streamflow, and that assimilating streamflow observations at interior locations in addition to those at the outlet improves analysis and prediction of soil moisture within the drainage areas of the interior stream gauges and of streamflow at downstream cells along the channel network. To assess performance under more realistic conditions, but still under the assumption of perfectly known hydrometeorological forcing to allow comparisons with the synthetic experiment, an exploratory real-world experiment was carried out in which all other assumptions were lifted. The results show that, expectedly, assimilating interior flows in addition to outlet flow improves analysis as well as prediction of streamflow at stream gauge locations, but that assimilating in situ soil moisture data in addition to streamflow data provides little improvement in streamflow analysis and prediction though it reduces systematic biases in soil moisture simulation.

Injuries sustained by S. alterniflora and subsequent recovery, varied considerably between debris types. Differences were likely due to dissimilarities in the structure and composition of debris. Tires caused an immediate (within 3weeks) and long-term impact to S. alterniflora; tire footprints remained devoid of vegetation 14months post-removal. Conversely, crab pot impacts were not as abrupt and recovery was short-term (<10months). We suggest that removal programs specifically target habitats that are susceptible to negative impacts (e.g., salt marsh) and prone to debris accumulation. Management would benefit from the inclusion of habitat information in removal databases.

The first algorithm is based on the co-polar correlation coefficient, rho , and the scattering matrix decomposition parameters, Cloud entropy (H), mean scattering angle ( alpha ) and anisotropy (A). While each of these parameters has oil spill signature in it, we find that combining these parameters into a new parameter, F, is a more effective way for oil slick detection. The second algorithm uses the total power of four polarimetric channels image (SPAN) to find the optimal representation of the oil spill signature. Otsu image segmentation method can then be applied to the F and SPAN images to extract the oil slick features. Using the L-band fully polarimetric Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle - synthetic aperture radar (UAVSAR) data acquired during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster event in the Gulf of Mexico, we are able to successfully extract the oil slick information in the contaminated ocean area.

Alteration of the shoreline, either through the replacement of marshes with anthropogenic structures, such as riprap and bulkheads, or through the replacement of the native marsh grass Spartina sp. (Spartina) with the invasive Phragmites australis (Phragmites), may affect the value of this habitat as a nursery. In this study, we compared the effects of four common shoreline types, bulkheads, riprap, Phragmites marshes, and Spartina marshes, on food availability, feeding, growth, and survival of juvenile blue crabs in adjacent subtidal areas, as well as on the abundance and size of predators in the South River, Maryland. Sites with each shoreline type were randomly selected. We used benthic cores to sample macrobenthic prey and performed gut content analysis on caged crabs to examine food availability and feeding. Growth was estimated using caged crabs. Survival was assayed with a tethering experiment and predators were sampled with a seine net. Riprap had a lower abundance of macrofaunal prey, and the macrofaunal community differed from both marsh types in that it had it had smaller an more opportunistic species such as nematodes and small polychaetes compared to more bivalves and larger polychaetes at the marsh sites; however, gut contents and growth did not vary among shoreline types. Predation pressure on juvenile blue crabs was highest at bulkhead sites and lowest at riprap. Predator abundance did not vary among the shoreline types, though piscine predators were smaller in size near Spartina marshes compared to the other shorelines. We conclude that shoreline hardening substantially reduced the value of shoreline habitats for juvenile blue crabs, but that Spartina and Phragmites are functionally equivalent.

We tested whether juvenile Greenland cod (Gadus ogac Richardson), Atlantic cod (G. morhua L.), and white hake (Urophycis tenuis Mitchill) have higher feeding and growth rates in structurally complex eelgrass habitat compared to barren seafloor or the water column. We conducted five single species field experiments from September 2002-October 2003, to test whether juvenile Greenland cod, Atlantic cod, and white hake had higher feeding and growth rates in structurally complex eelgrass habitat compared to barren seafloor or the water column. In two experiments with G. ogac, growth rates did not differ among habitats in autumn 2002, but in autumn 2003 fish grew fastest in the water column (0.449+/-0.055%.d-1) compared to barren (0.372+/-0.028%.d-1) or eelgrass habitats (0.254+/-0.013%.d-1). In two experiments with G. morhua, growth rates over the winter (2002-2003) did not differ among habitats, but in spring of 2003 growth was significantly greater in eelgrass (0.366+/-0.026%.d-1) compared to barren (0.327+/-0.035%.d-1) or water column habitats (0.065+/-0.013%.d-1). In one experiment with U. tenuis, growth was faster in eelgrass (0.713+/-0.062%.d-1) than barren (0.483+/-0.055%.d-1) or water column habitats (0.271+/-0.040%.d-1). Zooplankton abundance was consistently highest among seafloor habitats (i.e., eelgrass and barren substrate) and lowest in the water column. More food (by weight) was consumed by U. tenuis and G. ogac in eelgrass than other habitats, while G. morhua consumed the most food over barren substrate. Results are generally consistent with predictions of higher growth rates and food rations among seafloor habitats for white hake and Atlantic cod. Greenland cod did not grow as predicted indicating that potential trade-offs in habitat selection may vary with season and the response to habitat is not uniform among species.

AN - 907030821; 21988187 AB - Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are currently incorporated into various consumer products, and numerous new applications and products containing CNTs are expected in the future. The potential for negative effects caused by CNT release into the environment is a prominent concern and numerous research projects have investigated possible environmental release pathways, fate, and toxicity. However, this expanding body of literature has not yet been systematically reviewed. Our objective is to critically review this literature to identify emerging trends as well as persistent knowledge gaps on these topics. Specifically, we examine the release of CNTs from polymeric products, removal in wastewater treatment systems, transport through surface and subsurface media, aggregation behaviors, interactions with soil and sediment particles, potential transformations and degradation, and their potential ecotoxicity in soil, sediment, and aquatic ecosystems. One major limitation in the current literature is quantifying CNT masses in relevant media (polymers, tissues, soils, and sediments). Important new directions include developing mechanistic models for CNT release from composites and understanding CNT transport in more complex and environmentally realistic systems such as heteroaggregation with natural colloids and transport of nanoparticles in a range of soils.

AN - 905676867; 21964300 AB - Petroleum-derived compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), commonly occur as complex mixtures in the environment. Recent studies using the zebrafish experimental model have shown that PAHs are toxic to the embryonic cardiovascular system, and that the severity and nature of this developmental cardiotoxicity varies by individual PAH. In the present study we characterize the toxicity of the relatively higher molecular weight 5-ring PAHs benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), benzo[e]pyrene (BeP), and benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF). While all three compounds target the cardiovascular system, the underlying role of the ligand-activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR2) and the tissue-specific induction of the cytochrome p450 metabolic pathway (CYP1A) were distinct for each. BaP exposure (40μM) produced AHR2-dependent bradycardia, pericardial edema, and myocardial CYP1A immunofluorescence. By contrast, BkF exposure (4-40μM) caused more severe pericardial edema, looping defects, and erythrocyte regurgitation through the atrioventricular valve that were AHR2-independent (i.e., absent myocardial or endocardial CYP1A induction). Lastly, exposure to BeP (40μM) yielded a low level of CYP1A+ signal in the vascular endothelium of the head and trunk, without evident toxic effects on cardiac function or morphogenesis. Combined with earlier work on 3- and 4-ring PAHs, our findings provide a more complete picture of how individual PAHs may drive the cardiotoxicity of mixtures in which they predominate. This will improve toxic injury assessments and risk assessments for wild fish populations that spawn in habitats altered by overlapping petroleum-related human impacts such as oil spills, urban stormwater runoff, or sediments contaminated by legacy industrial activities.

Microarray screening revealed that each type of scaffold structure induced a unique gene expression signature in primary human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs). Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that treatments sorted by scaffold structure and not by polymer chemistry suggesting that scaffold structure was more influential than scaffold composition. Further, the effects of scaffold structure on hBMSC function were mediated by cell shape. Of all the scaffolds tested, only scaffolds with a nanofibrous morphology were able to drive the hBMSCs down an osteogenic lineage in the absence of osteogenic supplements. Nanofiber scaffolds forced the hBMSCs to assume an elongated, highly branched morphology. This same morphology was seen in osteogenic controls where hBMSCs were cultured on flat polymer films in the presence of osteogenic supplements (OS). In contrast, hBMSCs cultured on flat polymer films in the absence of OS assumed a more rounded and less-branched morphology. These results indicate that cells are more sensitive to scaffold structure than previously appreciated and suggest that scaffold efficacy can be optimized by tailoring the scaffold structure to force cells into morphologies that direct them to differentiate down the desired lineage.

AN - 902331778; 21073401 AB - Studies designed to investigate the environmental or biological interactions of nanoscale materials frequently rely on the use of ultrasound (sonication) to prepare test suspensions. However, the inconsistent application of ultrasonic treatment across laboratories, and the lack of process standardization can lead to significant variability in suspension characteristics. At present, there is widespread recognition that sonication must be applied judiciously and reported in a consistent manner that is quantifiable and reproducible; current reporting practices generally lack these attributes. The objectives of the present work were to: (i) Survey potential sonication effects that can alter the physicochemical or biological properties of dispersed nanomaterials (within the context of toxicity testing) and discuss methods to mitigate these effects, (ii) propose a method for standardizing the measurement of sonication power, and (iii) offer a set of reporting guidelines to facilitate the reproducibility of studies involving engineered nanoparticle suspensions obtained via sonication.

The strongest signal reached delta (super 3H) e = 43% at approximately 1750 m depth at station TEW-39 (15 degrees S, 173.1 degrees W). By examining additional profiles, Lupton et al. [2003] found that this is a regional plume which extends for over 1000 km to the northwest but is absent at 170 degrees W only 300 km to the east. The magnitude and depth of the plume implies that it is not the distal plume from the East Pacific Rise, which is weaker (delta (super 3) He = 28%) and lies at 2500 m depth in this area of the south Pacific. During the past decade, we have used ships of opportunity to collect additional helium profiles in an attempt to define the extent of this plume and identify its source. We re-occupied the 1987 TEW-39 station location in 2004 and 2008, and found the plume to still be present with a similar delta (super 3) He signal (38% and 36% respectively) at the same 1750 m depth. Other recent profiles showed that the plume is present all along the northern margin of the Lau Basin over the Tonga Trench between 173 degrees W and 175.5 degrees W with little variation in signal strength. This plume has no detectable signal in temperature, suspended particles, or other hydrothermal properties other than helium. The plume overlies a location so deep (>4000 m) and so distant from active volcanoes that it must be the "far-field" plume from a strong and persistent source. Possible sources include hydrothermal activity in the northern Lau Basin, Machias Seamount, or activity on the flanks of one of the Samoan Islands. While its source remains elusive, it is clear that this helium plume is a major oceanographic feature of the south Pacific which merits further study.

Tarawera in the rhyolitic Okataina Volcanic Centre of the central North Island, New Zealand, erupted in spectacular fashion. Basaltic eruptions at Tarawera produced tall eruption columns, while hydrothermal and phreatomagmatic eruptions at Rotomahana excavated the pre-1886 Lake Rotomahana site, which later filled to form a new lake up to 125 m deep and approximately 5 X larger than its predecessor. The Pink and White Terraces, which were the world's largest silica aprons and buttresses, had formed as a result of discharging thermal waters and deposition of silica on the margins of the pre-1886 lake, and were believed destroyed during the 1886 eruption. The post-eruption landscape was scarred by eruption craters with the largest marking the foci of the phreatomagmatic eruption, which blanketed the area with 10s of m of mud. A combined approximately 250 line km survey of Lake Rotomahana was conducted using two REMUS 100 AUVs simultaneously mapping with multibeam and sidescan sonar. Also fitted were a magnetometer, minature plume recorders (LSS, Eh, temperature, depth) and pH sensors. Surface vessels conducted magnetic surveys (110 line km), CO (sub 2) flux measurements (420 sites), deployed a CTD and Niksin bottles for water properties and sampling (14 stations), and a camera over sites (12) of known venting and/or where the sidescan showed evidence for the terraces. New bathymetric data clearly shows the en-echelon rift of 1886 in the center of the lake and identifies some pre-1886 shoreline. When combined with sidescan sonar images, several of the basal layers of the Pink Terraces were found very near their original, pre-eruption locations. Underwater photographs reveal buttresses of several tiers. Magnetic data show a pronounced positive anomaly in the southern part of the lake, associated with older lavas, and a distinct negative anomaly associated with the Pink Terraces, marking the boundaries of the pre-1886 geothermal field. Bubble plumes recorded during the magnetic survey and also seen on sidescan sonar images show modern hydrothermal activity occurs within the Pink Terraces area, to a lesser degree the White Terraces area, and in two new (post-1886) locations, namely; along the southern boundary of the newly formed rift and an area further eastwards. CTD casts and water column measurements made by the AUVs confirm these areas as primary discharge zones, establishing continuation of hydrothermal activity in the Terraces area and corroborating the existence of a new geothermal system in the southern part of the lake. Maximum helium concentrations show the main discharge source is at a depth of approximately 40 m and when combined with CO (sub 2) flux for the lake, suggests degassing of a sub-lake floor magmatic system.

This is necessary in order to rapidly warn coastal residents in the near field of the rupture and sea floor deformation. Mwp has been used to issue Tsunami Warnings within 5 to 10 minutes of origin time, by both US Tsunami Warning Centers since about 2000. Because Mwp [Tsuboi et. al., 1995] is based on the far-field approximation to the P-wave displacement due to a double couple point source, we should very carefully apply Mwp to data obtained at distances of only about a fault length from the source. However, in the case of a huge earthquake, which occurs just offshore of populated area, like the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, it was reported that seismographs located at close epicentral distances were clipped by large surface waves arrivals. This causes problems when determining earthquake magnitude based on the amplitude of surface waves. Mwp could be useful even for these station located close to the epicenter, because we do not expect the P-waves will clip. We examine broadband STS-1 seismograms around the Japanese Islands, to determine if Mwp can usefully estimate magnitude of great earthquakes using the unclipped portion of broadband seismograms obtained close to the epicenter. Specifically in case of Tohoku, since the duration is less than 200 sec, if the time window to estimate Mwp is around 120-150 sec, there should be a good chance to get reliable Mwp value for epicentral distance 9 to 10 degree stations. Our observations indicate that Mwp gives reliable results as close as 8.3 degrees from the source. At 8.3-9.5 degrees, Mwp gives reliable results of Mw 8.9-9.1 for the Mw9.1 Off East Coat of Tohuku event of March 11, 2011, 4-5 minutes after origin time. We also have examined for the Mw8.8 Chile earthquake of February 27, 2010, and obtained Mwp8.8 at 8.9 degrees from the source, at 4 minutes after origin time. These results demonstrate that Mwp should be applicable to estimate earthquake magnitude promptly using seismographs located close to the epicenter even for magnitude 9 class events. We use broadband seismograms recorded by F-net broadband network operated by NIED in Tsukuba, Japan.

Arctic permafrost currently contains 1466 Gt of carbon frozen since the last ice age, roughly double the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. We estimate 190+ or -64 Gt of this carbon will thaw out, decay, and end up in the atmosphere by 2300, potentially increasing atmospheric CO (sub 2) concentrations by 87+ or -29 ppm. A carbon release of this magnitude is equal to 15% of the total allowed emissions to hit a target CO (sub 2) concentration of 700 ppm. Global targets for fossil fuel emissions must be reduced an additional 15% to account for the release of carbon from thawing permafrost. Current treaty negotiations do not include a 15% allocation for permafrost carbon emissions. We present the scientific basis for our results and summarize our successes and failures in trying to influence international treaty negotiations to reduce fossil fuel emissions.

By 2018, NGS intends that all orthometric heights in the USA will be determined in the field by using a reliable national geoid model to transform geodetic heights obtained from GPS. Towards this end, NGS is updating its terrestrial gravimetry holdings by flying new airborne gravity surveys over a large fraction of the USA and it territories. Such data has already been collected for several areas, including Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, and elsewhere. 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 contrast and compare the latest airborne- and satellite-derived gravity products where sufficient data is available, thereby seeking to determine the extent to which each can currently be expected to contribute to an improved geoid model. Results of validation through independent geodetic data sets and other gravity-based products are also presented and considered.

However, systems employing erbium-doped fiber lasers operating at 1550 nm are becoming increasingly prevalent. An advantage of this wavelength is enhanced eye safety, as greater water absorption in the ocular components at wavelengths above approximately 1400 nm prevents radiation from reaching the retina. However, for related reasons, 1550 nm lidar systems may be subject to a greater decrease in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when the ground surface is wet. When operating near the upper limits of the system's operational altitude range--as is often done in order to maximize acquisition efficiency and minimize costs--this reduced SNR can lead to drop-outs and data gaps. The U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS), a program office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), uses lidar for coastal mapping applications. One of the primary goals is to extract tide-datum based shoreline, which is used in updating nautical charts, defining legal boundaries, and in a variety of coastal science and geomorphology studies. Mapping a tidally-referenced shoreline from topographic lidar data typically involves acquiring the data over exposed areas of the intertidal zone at low tide. Even when not submerged, these areas are frequently wet from the receding tide, wave runup, etc. If not compensated for through appropriate flight planning, the additional decrease in SNR with 1550 nm systems, due to the surface being wet, can lead to sparse, noisy data or even data voids, affecting the ability to extract a tidally-referenced shoreline. This study focuses on a theoretical and empirical investigation of 1550 nm lidar systems for coastal mapping. Lidar data were acquired over Assateague Island, Maryland with a new, dual Riegl LMS-Q680i system at a variety of flying heights. Additionally, reflectance spectra were acquired with a field spectrometer for various East Coast shorelines under differing moisture conditions, including dry, wet, and snow or ice covered. These data were used to quantify the effects on received signal strength and output data, and in determining how to best compensate for reduced SNR through proper selection of flying height and other mission parameters. We conclude with recommendations for effective and efficient operational use of 1550 nm systems for coastal applications.

Enormous progress made in North America over the last 5 decades provides a template for other megacities of the world, especially in developing countries, attempting to achieve rapid economic growth without compromising air quality. While the progress to date has been impressive, many challenges remain including the need to improve air quality while simultaneously mitigating climate change. The impact of pollutant emissions from megacities is felt long distances away from the local sources but no policy mechanisms currently exist to mitigate air quality impacts resulting from such pollution transport.

Recent studies are used that directly compared online and offline simulations to discuss possible shortcomings for both air quality and weather forecasting. The disadvantages of offline approaches are easy to show for air quality forecasting. On the other hand, a positive impact on short to medium range weather forecasts that is significant enough to justify an implementation at operational weather forecasting centers is more difficult to prove, and may initially only come through an improvement of the meteorological data assimilation. Eventually though, a migration to an integrated modeling system will provide new opportunities for weather prediction modelers as well. The simulation of chemical species will allow identification of shortcomings in currently used forecast models as well as lead to better use of meteorological data assimilation.

The ocean biogeochemical component of ESM2M includes representations of pelagic calcite cycling as a function of supersaturation and small phytoplankton grazing, pelagic aragonite cycling as a function of supersaturation and large phytoplankton grazing, and sediment calcite cycling based on a box model representation of bottom water saturation state and the incoming fluxes of calcitic, organic and lithogenic material. The model was forced with historical and future projections of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) of radiatively active gases as part of the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. Consistent with observations, the ESM2M ocean takes up 2.1 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 20th century. Under the highest emissions scenario of an 8.5 W m (super -2) targeted radiative forcing with CO2 concentrations of 936 ppm by 2100 (RCP8.5), ESM2M takes up 6.1 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 21st century. We describe the geographical and vertical extent of ocean acidification and depression of aragonite and calcite saturation states that result in this model. In global comparison with preindustrial conditions, ESM2M suggests severe ecological consequences of acidification under the RCP8.5 scenario with aragonite production being depressed by 17% at the end of the 20th century and 72% at the end of the 21st Century and calcite production being depressed by 16% at the end of the 20th century and 67% at the end of the 21st Century. These results are consistent with previous studies that have similarly assumed linear dependence of aragonite and calcite production with the degree of supersaturation. In terms of acidification mitigation feedbacks, these responses combine to provide additional acid neutralizing capacity in the surface ocean of 0.23 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 20th century and 0.98 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 21st Century. However, through changes in the mineral ballasting of sinking organic material, this reduction in aragonite and calcite cycling is also projected to reduce ballasting and shoal the remineralization of organic material with consequences for both dissolved organic carbon and alkalinity cycling. Finally, we also explore the nature of the sediment calcite mitigation feedback on ocean acidification. Our model of sediment calcite cycling gives an estimate of the role of acidification on the exchange of alkalinity with the sediments wherein acidification supplies an additional acid neutralizing capacity of 0.11 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 20th century, and 0.76 PgC a (super -1) at the end of the 21st Century, 0.14 PgC a (super -1) of which is due to direct reduction in calcite supply to the sea floor. While this flux has been ignored in most ESM efforts to date, this sediment feedback is of similar magnitude to the surface production feedback over the first centuries of acidification and is expected to become increasingly critical to long term mitigation of ocean acidification as the acidification reaches ever deeper into the ocean over time.

Most surveyed areas released CO (sub 2) to the atmosphere. The mean CO (sub 2) flux of surveyed waters was 1.6 mmol m (super -2) d (super -1) . In contrast, the Mississippi River plume in the GOM and the Merrimack River plume in the Gulf of Maine (GoME) were strong biologically-driven CO (sub 2) sinks. The mean aragonite saturation state (Omega A) decreased latitudinally more than two fold (4.1 to 1.8) from northern GOM shelf waters to waters in the GoME. This change was accompanied by a 0.4-unit decrease in mean shelf-water pH (at 25 degrees C). The influence of biologically mediated processes on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), nutrients, and O (sub 2) in Gulf Stream Water (GSW) varied substantially with location. In the GOM, the GSW receives approximately 1.4-1.6X10 (super 11) gC d (super -1) of DIC exported from the shelf. Biologically induced chemical changes in GSW along the southeastern U.S. coast were dominated by physical mixing from North Atlantic sub-tropical recirculation. Southward, along-shore transport of the Labrador Coastal Current in the Mid-Atlantic Bight creates a mid-salinity end-member on the shelf. Mixing of the slope and shelf waters with this coastal current accounts for 47% of the total north-south gradient in the mean salinity-normalized DIC, while biological processes account for about 14%. Northeastern U.S. coastal water is vulnerable to ocean acidification due to its low Omega A and low buffer capacity.

The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) maintains and archives a comprehensive collection of natural hazards data. The NGDC global historic event database includes all tsunami events, regardless of intensity, as well as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that caused fatalities, moderate damage, or generated a tsunami. Examining the past record provides clues to what might happen in the future. NGDC also archives tide gauge data from stations operated by the NOAA/NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services and the NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers. In addition to the tide gauge data, NGDC preserves deep-ocean water-level, 15-second sampled data as collected by the Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) buoys. Water-level data provide evidence of sea-level fluctuation and possible inundation events. NGDC houses an extensive collection of geologic hazards photographs available online as digital images. Visual media provide invaluable pre- and post-event data for natural hazards. Images can be used to illustrate inundation and possible damage or effects. These images are organized by event or hazard type (earthquake, volcano, tsunami, landslide, etc.), along with description and location. They may be viewed via interactive online maps and are integrated with historic event details. The planning required to achieve collection and dissemination of hazard event data is extensive. After a damaging or fatal event, NGDC begins to collect and integrate data and information from many people and organizations into the hazards databases. Sources of data include the U.S. NOAA Tsunami Warning Centers, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. NOAA National Data Buoy Center, the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program, news organizations, etc.. NGDC then works to promptly distribute data and information for the appropriate audience. For example, when a major tsunami occurs, all of the related tsunami data are combined into one timely resource. NGDC posts a publicly accessible online report which includes: 1) event summary; 2) eyewitness and instrumental recordings from preliminary field surveys; 3) regional historical observations including similar past events and effects; 4) observed water heights and calculated tsunami travel times; and 5) near-field effects. This report is regularly updated to incorporate the most recent news and observations. Providing timely access to authoritative data and information ultimately benefits researchers, state officials, the media and the public.

Conceived in the dawn of the digital age by representatives from U.S. academic and government marine core repositories and the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) at a 1977 meeting convened by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Index is based on core concepts of community oversight, common vocabularies, consistent metadata and a shared interface. Form and content of underlying vocabularies and metadata continue to evolve according to the needs of the community, as do supporting technologies and access methodologies. The Curators Consortium, now international in scope, meets at partner institutions biennially to share ideas and discuss best practices. NGDC serves the group by providing database access and maintenance, a list server, digitizing support and long-term archival of sample metadata, data and imagery. Over three decades, participating curators have performed the herculean task of creating and contributing metadata for over 195,000 sea floor and lakebed cores, grabs, and dredges archived in their collections. Some partners use the Index for primary web access to their collections while others use it to increase exposure of more in-depth institutional systems. The Index is currently a geospatially-enabled relational database, publicly accessible via Web Feature and Web Map Services, and text- and ArcGIS map-based web interfaces. To provide as much knowledge as possible about each sample, the Index includes curatorial contact information and links to related data, information and images; 1) at participating institutions, 2) in the NGDC archive, and 3) at sites such as the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) and the System for Earth Sample Registration (SESAR). Over 34,000 International GeoSample Numbers (IGSNs) linking to SESAR are included in anticipation of opportunities for interconnectivity with Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA) systems. To promote interoperability and broaden exposure via the semantic web, NGDC is publishing lithologic classification schemes and terminology used in the Index as Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) vocabularies, coordinating with R2R and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership for consistency. Availability in SKOS form will also facilitate use of the vocabularies in International Standards Organization (ISO) 19115-2 compliant metadata records. NGDC provides stewardship for the Index on behalf of U.S. repositories as the NSF designated "appropriate National Data Center" for data and metadata pertaining to sea floor samples as specified in the 2011 Division of Ocean Sciences Sample and Data Policy, and on behalf of international partners via a collocated World Data Center. NGDC operates on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model.

The availability of data (for example, that at some locations one knows only that the mass fraction of titanium is below a particular threshold) also influences the uncertainty of the results. Statistical methods are illustrated that can be used to assess and propagate these two sources of uncertainty, with applications to an aerial survey of greenhouse gases, and to geochemical mapping.

In theory, the increased magma supply to the rift should create an abundance of active hydrothermal vent sites, and yet previous surveys found that high-temperature vents were more scarce than predicted. The mission goals of GALREX 2011 were to explore the diverse habitats and geological settings of the deep Galapagos region primarily to search for hydrothermal venting, but also to explore other areas of interest. In June 2011, the first multibeam bathymetric map of the Galapagos Rift axis from 101 degrees 18' W to 98 degrees W was made with the EM302 sonar, and an along-axis "tow-yo" CTD-LSS-ORP hydrocast was conducted for hydrothermal plume signals along with additional EM302 mapping from 89 degrees 18' W to 85 degrees 21' W. In July 2011, the ROV Lil' Hercules explored new sites of hydrothermal venting along the eastern arm of the Rift, the Rosebud hydrothermal vent field, hydrothermal mounds 20 km south of the Rift, one of the Paramount Seamounts for a macrofaunal survey, and a volcano on the Ecuador Rift. Data and ROV video feeds were transmitted by broad-band satellite in real time from the ship to a team of scientists in Seattle, WA; Newport, OR; and Woods Hole, MA. The team evaluated the transmitted data and helped direct seafloor ROV operations in real-time. In total, nearly 4,000 km of seafloor were mapped by EM302, 11 CTD tows covered the entire eastern arm of the Rift, and 12 ROV dives collected > 5 TB of high-definition digital video of the seafloor. The hydrocast survey along the eastern Rift identified two regions with abundant optical and ORP signals directly over the spreading axis. The largest of these was nearly 50 km long between 88 degrees 5' W and 88 degrees 33' W. Five ROV dives near 88 degrees 18' W found recently erupted lobate lava flows and several regions of active diffuse hydrothermal venting. The site had the appearance of a relatively recent eruption as the diffuse venting at the site led to extensive white particles of putative sulfur, presumably of bacterial origin, on the rocks and suspended in the lower water column (hence the high optical signal) and there were only mobile rather than sessile fauna at these vents. Extinct hydrothermal sulfide chimneys over 30 m tall were found within 2 km of the active vents suggesting that the region had previously experienced a period of intense heat loss. Three ROV dives at another plume site near 86 degrees W showed reinvigorated diffuse venting in a once massive clam bed now actively colonized by tubeworms, mussels, and microbial mats and ringed with abundant dandelions. The lack of biota and vitreous, unsedimented lobate flows at the Rosebud diffuse vent field (86 degrees 12' W) suggests that it was paved over by an eruption since 2005. The eastern Galapagos Rift appears to have experienced a series of recent dike injections producing new lava flows and extensive diffuse venting, possibly within the past 5 years. Active, focused high-temperature hydrothermal flow has yet to be found on the eastern Rift, though extinct sulfide chimneys attest that it has occurred.

Light backscattering (Delta NTU) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensors measured the relative concentration of suspended particles and reduced hydrothermal chemicals, respectively. GALREX was designed to complement a similar survey in 2005/2006 that surveyed the central Galapagos Rift from 94.9 degrees to 89.6 degrees W. That survey found only two active high-temperature vent fields, plus robust plume evidence for at least six smaller fields. The spatial density of hydrothermal plumes (p (sub h) ) along the rift was only 0.11 (based on Delta NTU anomalies), significantly less than expected for intermediate-rate (50-60 mm/yr) spreading but similar to other hotspot-affected ridges (e.g., near the Iceland, Ascension, and St. Paul-Amsterdam hotspots). This low p (sub h) value was hypothesized to be an expression of (1) reduced hydrothermal discharge on ridge sections with hotspot-thickened crust, (2), widespread low-temperature discharge undetectable by large-scale surveys, or (3) episodic venting. GALREX found a distinctly different hydrothermal environment on the eastern third of the rift. Overall, p (sub h) = 0.19, about twice that of the central Galapagos Rift. Strong venting was concentrated in two areas. Most remarkable was a 50-km-long section (88.56 degrees -88.09 degrees W) where continuous plumes with high (>0.2) Delta NTU values rose as high as 250 m above the seafloor. This area is low amplitude valley and ridge topography, centered on a relatively recent lava flow at 88.33 degrees W. The second area included the historical vent fields Rose Garden and Rosebud, and ranged from 86.25 degrees to 85.87 degrees W. In this area Delta NTU was lower ( approximately 0.1) and plumes were patchy. ORP anomalies occasionally occurred in the absence of Delta NTU anomalies, suggesting low-temperature, particle-poor vent sources. No anomalies were detected over the Rose Garden/Rosebud sites. The entire GALREX survey detected approximately 20 discrete ORP anomalies, with along-axis separations ranging from 2 to 110 km (median=14 km). Because ORP anomalies are very short lived, and thus do not advect far from their seafloor source, at least approximately 20 distinct vent "fields" must be active, a higher spatial frequency than found along the central Galapagos Rift. The eastern rift section is also notable for supporting two areas of extensive venting, each >40 km along axis, and each paved by apparently young ( approximately 10 yr) lavas. Each of these areas is approximately 3x longer than the longest hydrothermal area on the central rift section.

Here, we compare the fluxes and the plume dispersal at three high temperature sites located in very diverse settings at comparable depths ( approximately 3000m): The recently discovered sites Turtle Pits, and Nibelungen on the southern MAR, and the Logatchev field in the North Atlantic. Plume mapping for these sites on cruises between 2004 and 2009 consisted of CTD Towyo-, Yoyo,- and station work, including velocity profiling, as well as water sampling for analysis of trace gases (CH (sub 4) , H (sub 2) , (super 3) He/ (super 4) He) and metals; temperature measurements and fluid sampling at the vent sites were carried out with an ROV. The aim of this work is to gain a better understanding of how the setting of a vent site affects the dispersal of the particle plume, and what means can be used to infer possible locations of vent sites based on the hydrographic properties and plume observations, using high resolution bathymetric mapping and hydrographic information. The ultramafic-hosted Nibelungen site (8 degrees 18'S) consists of a single active smoking crater, along with several extinct smokers, which is located off-axis south of a non-transform offset. The setting is characterized by rugged topography, favorable for the generation of internal tides, internal wave breaking, and vertical mixing. Elevated mixing with turbulent diffusivities K (sub rho ) up to 0.1 m (super 2) s (super -1) , 3 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than open ocean values, was observed close to the vent site. The mixing as well as the flow field exhibited a strong tidal cycle; the plume dispersal is thus dominated by the fast and intermittent vertical exchange and characterized by small scale spatial and temporal variability. The Turtle Pits vent fields (4 degrees 48'S) are located on a sill in a north-south orientated rift valley. The site consists of three (known) high temperature fields: Turtle Pits, Comfortless Cove, and Red Lion. The particle plume is confined to the rift valley since the depth of the valley exceeds the rise height of the plume. Velocities observed with a Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP), and the gradient of the stratification across the sill show a hydraulic control of the background flow over the sill, resulting in a northward advection of plume material. Downstream, the particle plume is modified by a dominant across-valley tide, and strong vertical mixing in the wake of the hydraulic jump. The Logatchev hydrothermal field (14 degrees 45'N) consists of seven vent sites, mostly smoking craters, located up on the eastern flank of the axial graben. The current field as observed with LADCP is irregular, but follows to some extent the topography in the range of the particle plume. This plume is sheared in the vertical, indicating the influence of the local tides.

The August swarm lasted for approximately 4 days. Seventy-five earthquakes were reported by the Canadian National Seismograph Nework (CNSN), with the largest having a magnitude of 5.9. The U.S. Navy's Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) hydrophones reported 148 earthquakes. Over 250 earthquakes were recorded on the Central Oregon Locked Zone Array (COLZA), a temporary array of 15 ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) and hydrophones. The October swarm lasted about 2 days with only one reported CNSN magnitude 4.4 earthquake. This event was also observed with the COLZA network. SOSUS reported 119 earthquakes over the course of two days. In this poster, we use the COLZA T-phase data to better understand the tectonic significance of these swarms. T-phases are generated by earthquakes and converted to acoustic energy at the seafloor. We used the ANSS magnitudes to calibrate an empirical magnitude scale for maximum amplitudes handpicked from the COLZA T-phase observations. This enabled us to lower the magnitude threshold to 2.8. A b-value of 0.78 was obtained for the August swarm suggesting that it may be a tectonic event rather then a magmatic one. Focal mechanisms reported by the Harvard CMT catalog for 3 of the largest events also support strike-slip motion. The reported SOSUS hypocenter locations indicate a linear NE/SW trend west of and parallel to the Explorer Ridge while the ANSS locations are very scattered but suggest a northwest/southeast trend in line with but east of the Dellwood-Revere transform fault. To obtain better-constrained locations, we plan to relocate the events and COLZA T-phase data using cross-correlation techniques developed to locate seismic tremor. We expect the COLZA data will allow us to determine whether activity was primarily focused along the Explorer Ridge axis, along the Dellwood-Revere transform, or within the plate. This investigation could provide us with new insight into the evolution and possible fragmentation of the Explorer Plate.

Baylis. These surveys were conducted between Ft. Bragg, CA and Shelter Cove, CA in an effort to study the offshore section of the Northern San Andreas Fault (NSAF). We have combined multibeam data collected during this cruise with data collected by the California Seafloor Mapping Program to compile high resolution imagery of the entire offshore section of the NSAF. Seismic profiles were collected perpendicular to the fault at 1 km intervals. Two full length profiles were collected parallel to the NSAF. These data have allowed us to map, with high precision, the upper crustal features of the NSAF, and other features in the area. We have also used recently released industry collected multi-channel seismic reflection profiles, contributed by WesternGeco, available through the USGS. These profiles were collected at 10 km spacing and reach subsurface depths of approximately 5km, allowing for investigation of deep structural features. We observed, using bathymetric and seismic data, that the NSAF moves offshore at approximately 340 degrees at Point Arena. At the head of Noyo Canyon, near Ft. Bragg, the NSAF takes a approximately 6 degrees bend to the east, creating an extensional basin. The NSAF passes through Noyo Canyon which has been offset and captured by the main trace of the fault. As the NSAF bends at Noyo Canyon and moves north it is observed bending back approximately 10 degrees to the west near Tolo Bank. Tolo Bank is likely an uplifted block due to the left bend in the right lateral fault. North of Tolo Bank the NSAF comes ashore at Shelter Cove with no other major strike slip features observed to the west. Other interesting features observed are compressional folding and thrust faults striking northwest from, and terminating at, the NSAF. It appears that these are active structures but the amount of slip that is partitioned to these smaller faults is yet unclear. The principal stress axis of the folding/faulting west of the NSAF is consistent with deformation and uplift observed southwest of the Mendocino triple junction Geophysical data collection, 20 days of multibeam and seismic survey, were conducted using the R/V Baylis, a 65' sailing research vessel owned by Sealife Conservation Society, Santa Cruz, CA. In addition, the R/V Pacific Storm, an 86' converted fishing vessel, was used for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) dives to gather video imagery of the NSAF. It was not only our goal to study the offshore portion of the NSAF but it was an opportunity to conduct research in an efficient manner. During the entire cruise, mobilization, data collection and demobilization, fuel consumption was recorded. The Baylis averaged 1.6 gallons of fuel per hour (g/hr) while the Pacific Storm consumed 12.9 g/hr. Total fuel consumption for the entire cruise was approximately 4900 gallons (Baylis, 681 gal, Pacific Storm, 3096 gal). For comparison, a similar cruise conducted on an intermediate class ship, i.e. OSU's Wecoma, would consume 30,000-40,000 gallons of fuel.

So you ask yourself, what would you be doing in all of these places? What you would be doing is what hundreds of educators from around the world have done for over 20 years, participating in field-based Teacher Research Experience (TRE) programs. Teacher Research Experiences involve educators from varying grade levels and backgrounds in hands-on research as a member of a scientific research team. The teacher works side by side with actual research scientists, often on tasks similar to a field assistant or graduate student. As an important member of the research team teachers learn more about science content and the process of science. Subsequently, the educators play a key role in digesting and communicating the science to their students and the general public. TRE programs vary in many ways. Programs take place in a variety of settings--from laboratories to field camps, and from university campuses to aircraft or ships. The primary commonality of the TRE programs in this presentation--PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating), ANDRILL (ANtarctic geological DRILLing) Research Immersion for Science Educators (ARISE); Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) School of Rock (SOR); and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Teacher at Sea (TAS) program--is that these programs provide an authentic field-based research experience for teachers outside of a laboratory setting, frequently in harsh, remote, or unusual settings. In addition, each of these programs is federally funded, possess dedicated program management staff, leverage existing scientific and programmatic resources, and are usually national, and sometimes international, in scope. Sharing their unique lessons learned and program results, authors will describe how TRE's improve and enrich interdisciplinary science education by connecting teachers, researchers, students, and the public around the globe for involvement in scientific research and global issues.

With the January 1998 eruption and the April 2011 eruption discovered during Jason ROV operations in late July this year, that goal has now been accomplished. Based on observations and fluid temperature/chemistry measurements before and after both eruptions, there are common features leading up to and following the eruptions. Both eruptions at Axial originated in the SE corner of the caldera associated with the S Rift Zone. Isolated snowblower vents were found on new lava following both eruptions. Centimeter-thick orange hydrothermal mats formed rapidly on the new lava flows. There is some evidence that the fluids from ASHES vent field, located near the SW caldera wall, were hottest before the 1998 eruption. A second high-temperature vent field is located in the SE caldera just east of the recent lava flows. Lava flows came close to both high-temperature fields in 2011, but did not flow over any known chimneys. Recorded time series for several high-temperature vents show increasing temperatures from 2001 through 2010. Vent fluid chlorinity decreased at ASHES for 0.5 to 2 years following the 1998 eruption. As of 3.5 months after the 2011 eruption, ASHES fluid chlorinity did not change significantly. High gas contents reflect magma degassing throughout the entire history of fluid sampling at Axial. Spatial and temporal patterns of vent fluid chemistry will be presented.

Following retreat of the continental ice sheet ( approximately 14,000 ybp), the Skagit River incised several hundred meters into valley-filling glacial sediments, creating a series of terraces bounding a wide floodplain with a rich diversity of salmon habitats. By contrast, much of the Columbia River basin was not glaciated, and glacial outburst floods from Lake Missoula scoured the Columbia plateau and left deep silt deposits in several tributary basins, creating wide floodplains and groundwater-fed salmon habitats. These glacial histories constrain riverine habitat potential and genetic diversity of salmon in both basins, and also predispose each landscape to specific patterns of resource use. Since the mid-1800s, diking and ditching of floodplain and delta streams of the Skagit basin has obliterated more than 50% of salmon rearing habitat, but the arid Columbia basin has been most altered by construction of 18 large dams that produce hydropower and irrigate more than 2700 km (super 2) of former sagebrush steppe. We illustrate how intensive river management in both basins has shifted the riverscape away from diverse habitats maintained by natural disturbance regimes to simplified habitats and dampened disturbance regimes.

We present an integrated hydrologic-economic model that optimizes agricultural groundwater use next to streams with flow standards. Policies to meet instream flow standards should aim to minimize the welfare losses to irrigated agriculture due to reduced pumping. Previous economic studies have proposed spatially targeted water allocations between groundwater irrigators and instream demands. However, these studies focused on meeting aggregate instream flow goals on a seasonal or yearly basis rather than meeting them on a continuous basis. Temporally aggregated goals ignore important intra-seasonal hydrologic effects and may not provide sufficient habitat quality for species of concern. We present an optimization model that solves for groundwater pumping allocations across space in a stream-aquifer system with instream flow goals that must be met on a daily basis. We combine an analytical model of stream depletion with a farm profit maximization model that includes cumulative crop yield damages from water stress. The objective is the minimization of agricultural losses from reduced groundwater use while minimum instream flow requirements for ecological needs are met on a daily basis. As a case study, we apply our model to the Scott River basin in northern California. This is a region where stream depletion resulting from extensive irrigation has degraded habitat for Coho salmon, a species protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Our results indicate the importance of considering the lag between the time at which pumping occurs and the time at which stream depletion related to that pumping occurs. In general, we find that wells located farther from the stream should be allocated more water in most hydrologic scenarios. However, we also find that the spatial and temporal distribution of optimal groundwater pumping can differ dramatically depending on the level of streamflow and instream flow targets. In particular, we find that in drought years wells located closer to the stream might be allocated more water than wells farther from the stream. This counterintuitive result is driven by spatial variability in the time lag associated with the stream depletion externality following pumping. Any period of time during the year with extreme water scarcity requires a cessation of pumping in advance of that period so that stream depletion impacts can adequately dissipate before the start of the period. Wells that are farther away from the stream cause higher stream depletion impacts following the cessation of pumping, so they may need to cease pumping earlier in advance of the period of extreme water scarcity. The analysis also suggests that in our case study area, the Scott River basin, policies that are spatially and temporally targeted may lead to welfare costs that are 30 percent less than welfare losses under uniform pumping restrictions. The relative welfare gains of the targeted policy over the uniform reduction policy increase as the scarcity of the instream water supply increases.

Daon is a small reararc seamount 25 km SW of Pagan (17 degrees 58'N). We visited the submarine portions of the two volcanoes in 2010 (NT10-12), using ROV Hyper-Dolphin and RV Natsushima. Rocks were collected from the northeastern and southwestern flanks of the Pagan volcano at 1,500-2,000 m b.s.l. (dive HPD1147) and at 2,020-2,330 m b.s.l. (HPD1148), respectively, and from the southern flank of Daon at 2,360-2,580 m b.s.l. (HPD1149). Fresh pillow lavas dominate in all three dives, but the rocks recovered from HPD1147 seem to be the youngest based on very light sediment cover and no Mn coating. Sediment cover is considerably more extensive at HPD1148, and all rocks from Daon (HPD1149) had 0-10 mm thick Mn coating. Submarine Pagan lavas show major element compositions typical of subaerial Pagan basalts (Marske et al., 2011; Elliott et al., 1997; Woodhead, 1989), although the least fractionated compositions recovered from HPD1147 extend to much higher MgO (7-11 wt%) and Mg# (60-70), than the subaerial lavas. We recognize two types of primitive basalts from Pagan and Daon. Daon has plagioclase-olivine basalt (POB) and clinopyroxene-olivine basalt (COB), petrographic types that are similar to those reported from NW Rota-1 volcano (Tamura et al., 2011). Pagan has two types of COB, both having 10-11 wt% MgO; COB-1 has higher Ba/Zr and Sr/Zr and lower Zr/Y than COB-2 at the same MgO content, indicating that COB-1 has a greater subduction component and formed from higher degrees of mantle melting than COB-2. Similar distinct primitive magmas like those recognized from NW Rota-1 also coexist at Pagan and Daon. References: Bloomer, S. H. et al. (1989). Bull Volcanol 51, 210-224. Elliott, T. et al. (1997).

The hypothesized cause of this event is the drainage of freshwater from proglacial Lake Agassiz through the Hudson Bay into the Labrador Sea, which may have slowed the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and affected climate. The climate system before the 8.2 ka event was generally similar to that of today with a few exceptions, including lower greenhouse gas concentrations, increased seasonality of insolation due to orbital forcing, a remnant of the Laurentide Ice Sheet near Hudson Bay and enhanced ice melt runoff down the St. Lawrence River. The catastrophic release of Lake Agassiz was followed by the melting and disintegration of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, adding a continued flux of freshwater to the North Atlantic over decadal to century time scale. Using realistic 8.5 ka boundary conditions in the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3), we have performed several freshwater forcing (FWF) experiments to simulate the 8.2 ka event. Freshwater was added over one year across the Labrador Sea and North Atlantic to simulate the lake drainage. Following the forcing, the system was allowed to recover uninterrupted. Experiments were also performed using estimates of the total freshwater flux (lake drainage plus ice melt) around 8.2 ka into the Labrador Sea to simulate the drainage of Lake Agassiz and subsequent collapse and disintegration of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Results indicate a model response from the Lake Agassiz flood only that is shorter-lived and weaker than previously indicated by proxy records. The lake plus ice melt experiments show a response more consistent with proxy records. We, therefore, conclude that freshwater forcing in the form of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet following the drainage of Lake Agassiz is more important than the Lake Agassiz flood itself in causing a response in the CCSM3 that is comparable to paleo-proxy records of the 8.2 ka event in magnitude and duration.

In general, experiments show a consistently negative impact of acidification on coral calcification, leading to predictions of mass coral reef extinctions by dissolution as natural rates of carbonate erosion exceed the rates at which corals and other reef calcifiers can replace it. The tropical oceans provide a natural laboratory within which to test hypotheses about the longer term impact and adaptive potential of corals to acidification of the reef environment. Here we report results of a study in which 3-D CT scan and imaging techniques were used to quantify annual rates of calcification by conspecifics at 12 reefs sites spanning a natural gradient in ocean acidification. In situ Omega ar calculated from alkalinity and DIC measurements of reef seawater ranged from less than 2.7 on an eastern Pacific Reef to greater than 4.0 in the central Red Sea. No correlation between Omega ar and calcification was observed across this range. Corals living on low Omega ar reefs appear to be calcifying as fast, sometimes faster than conspecifics living on high Omega ar reefs. We used total lipid and tissue thickness to index the energetic status of colonies collected at each of our study sites. Our results support the hypothesis that energetics plays a key role in the coral calcification response to ocean acidification. Indeed, the true impact of acidification on coral reefs will likely be felt as temperatures rise and the ocean becomes more stratified, depleting coral energetic reserves through bleaching and reduced nutrient delivery to oceanic reefs.

The surface water temperature, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO (sub 2sw) ), and aragonite saturation state (Omega (sub arag) ) of barrier reef waters were similar to those in the southern bay lagoon on seasonal and annual time scales. The pCO (sub 2sw) in Kaneohe Bay was higher in the summer than winter because temperature was also higher in summer. However, temperature and pCO (sub 2sw) have opposing effects on Omega (sub arag) which resulted in a lack of seasonality in Omega (sub arag) . Deeper southern bay lagoon waters had attenuated diel cycles compared to the shallow and biogeochemically active barrier reef. Photosynthesis and respiration controlled the diel cycles of Omega (sub arag) and pCO (sub 2sw) and resulted in large changes in both parameters on hourly time scales. The Omega (sub arag) levels in Kaneohe Bay were depressed, and pCO (sub 2sw) levels elevated, compared to levels in the open ocean and in other coral reef systems because of high net ecosystem calcification (NEC) rates. NEC produced enough CO (sub 2) to maintain high pCO (sub 2sw) levels while daily net photosynthesis consumed some CO (sub 2) . As demonstrated for Kaneohe Bay, the biogeochemical cycles occurring in coral reef ecosystems strongly alter the Omega (sub arag) and pCO (sub 2sw) of their open-ocean source waters. Taking into account the CO (sub 2) cycling within coral reef ecosystems may help determine which reefs will be negatively affected by ocean acidification in the near future.

The Tohoku, Japan tsunami of March 11, 2011 was an extreme event that continued to disturb the Pacific Ocean for many days following its initiation. Historically Japan was considered a source of low tsunami wave energy for the US West Coast. However, damage in California from the last great Japan tsunami was second to that suffered during the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Computer animations of the catastrophic Japan tsunami and other recent significant tsunamis combined with seismological techniques help to identify multiple paths of tsunami waves refracted and reflected by complex bathymetry across the Pacific Ocean basin. Using recent large tsunamigenic earthquakes we demonstrate that the long duration and damage noticed during the last great Japan tsunami in the farfield is a result of several factors. Waveguides acting as tsunami lenses and mirrors, including continental margins, direct the tsunami wave energy to diverse locations around the ocean basin; directionality affected by islands and seamounts, large reflections off of South America, bathymetric features far and near the area of impact and shelf geometry may delay and further amplify the main tsunami energy. This has direct implications on the prediction of tsunami impacts since the US West Coast appears to receive maximum waves much later than first wave arrivals.

This real-time estimation allowed NOAA Center for Tsunami Research (NCTR) to accurately provide experimental forecast of the tsunami impact for U.S. coastline in real time during the Japanese tsunami. It also led to quick, yet accurate, modeling of the tsunami inundation in Japanese coastline within hours after the event. The flooding limits computed with 11 inundation models that cover the entire east coastline of Japan agree well with observations. The computed tsunami runup height is up to 40 m, and the tsunami-height distribution along Japanese coastline is consistent with post-tsunami survey. These computational results will be compared with tsunami measurements and post-tsunami measurements, in light of a real-time tsunami source determined directly from deep-ocean tsunami measurements independent of any seismic data. Use of the forecast source scenario as input for tsunami inundation models for local coastlines shows promise for improved local tsunami forecast and warnings. The examples of the 2011 Japanese, as well as the 2010 Chilean, tsunamis will be used to illustrate the approaches to reducing the latency period for near-field tsunami forecasting. The catastrophic Japanese tsunami raised deep concerns about the tsunami impact in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW), where a giant earthquake has been estimated to strike in the Cascadia within the next 50 years with a possibility of 10% to 15%. The similarity of tectonic settings and coastal environments between PNW and Sanriku, Japan may potentially result in comparable, or worse, disasters at PNW with what happened in Japan. To illustrate the similarity, we study the tsunami inundation impact along the coastline of PNW caused by a 500-year scenario on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ).

Comprehensive post-tsunami surveys and the availability of hundreds of videos within harbors and marinas allow for detailed documentation of these two events by the State of California Tsunami Program. Although neither event caused significant inundation of dry land in California because peak arrival occurred during low tide, damage to docks, harbor infrastructure, and boats was noteworthy. The 2010 Chile tsunami caused approximately $3-million in damage to a dozen harbors, primarily in central and southern California locations like Santa Cruz Harbor, Ventura Harbor and San Diego Bay. The 2011 Japan tsunami caused over $50-million in damage to more than two dozen harbors along the entire coast of California, most extensively to harbors/marinas in Crescent City, Noyo River, and Santa Cruz. During both events, strong tsunami currents, with some observed estimates greater than 15 knots, were generated at harbor entrances and along inside bends and narrows within harbors. Preliminary evaluations of harbor infrastructure and the interaction of boats indicate that drag along the base of large ships exacerbated the damage to docks to which the ships were tied. Evaluation of tsunami currents and damage will help in the validation/calibration of numerical tsunami model currents with the ultimate goal of developing tsunami current hazard maps for harbors statewide. These hazard maps will improve emergency response and infrastructure planning within harbors.

The revised Guide addresses the developments in the tsunami field since 1998, the need to accommodate vastly increased amounts of data, and to incorporate disciplines that were not covered in the original guide. The Guide also advocates a systems-approach to assessing tsunami impacts that examines the full range of physical, environmental, and socio-economic effects and their interrelationship, bringing tsunami research efforts into a closer alignment with the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR). This Field Guide is intended to provide a flexible framework to facilitate the acquisition of critical data in the immediate aftermath of significant tsunamis and to balance the needs of international researchers with those of communities and agencies involved with response and recovery. It will be of use to a variety of people and organizations who may either participate in, assist in coordination, or host post-tsunami field surveys. It is hoped that this Guide will promote pre-event planning in countries at risk of tsunamis to reduce the stresses of developing organizational logistics in the post-emergency response phase and make the process of conducting an ITST easier and more productive for both participating researchers and host country organizations. A complete draft of the Guide will be presented at the meeting and members of the tsunami community invited to comment.

These data sets were optimally combined through a truncated Stokes's kernel function (Li and Wang 2011). The final geoid model was obtained by harmonic downward continuation (Wang et al 2011). Overall, this leads to an 11.9 cm (rms) accuracy improvement over EGM2008 (Pavlis et al. 2008) at the local GPS-Leveling benchmarks (GPSBMs). For the next U.S. gravimetric geoid, USGG2012, the Alaskan geoid will also incorporate the new marine gravity model (DTU10, Andersen et al.) and gravity models from GOCE (GOCO02S, GOCO consortium). Residual terrain models (Forsberg 1984) for the high-frequency (5' to 3") geoid component, will also be included, both in Alaska and elsewhere.

Information critical to these decisions is needed for recently burned areas in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. A compilation of information on the hydrologic response to winter storms from recently burned areas in southern California steeplands is used to develop a system for classifying magnitudes of hydrologic response in this setting. The four-class system describes combinations of reported volumes of individual debris flows, consequences of debris flows and floods in an urban setting, and spatial extents of the hydrologic response. Magnitude 0 events show a negligible response, while Magnitude I events are characterized by small (10,000 m3) event. Several culverts or storm drains may be blocked or fail, several streets may be flooded or completely blocked by water and debris, and buildings, streets, and bridges may be damaged or destroyed. Magnitude III events consist of widespread and abundant debris flows of volumes >10,000 m3 and high discharge flooding causing significant impact to the built environment. Many streets, storm drains, and streets may be completely blocked by debris, making many streets unsafe for travel. Several large buildings, sections of infrastructure corridors and bridges may be damaged or destroyed. The range of rainfall conditions associated with different magnitude classes are defined by correlating local rainfall data with the response magnitude information. Magnitude 0 events can be expected when within-storm rainfall accumulations (A) of given durations (D) fall below the threshold A=0.4D0.5. Magnitude I events can be expected when storm rainfall conditions are above the threshold A=0.4D0.5 and below A=0.5D0.6 for durations greater than 1 hour. Magnitude II events will be generated in response to rainfall accumulations and durations between A=0.4D0.5 and A=0.9D0.5 for durations less than one hour, and between A=0.5D0.6 and A=0.9D0.5 for durations greater than one hour. Magnitude III events can be expected in response to rainfall conditions above the threshold A=0.9D 0.5. Rainfall threshold-magnitude relations are linked with potential emergency-response actions as an emergency-response decision chart, which leads a user through steps to determine potential event magnitudes and identify possible evacuation and resource-deployment levels. Use of this information in the planning and response decision-making process could result in increased safety for both the public and emergency responders.

The database includes all tsunami events, regardless of intensity, as well as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that caused fatalities, moderate damage, or generated a tsunami. Event date, time, location, magnitude of the phenomenon, and socio-economic information are included in the database. Analysis of the NGDC event database reveals that the 21st century began with earthquakes in Gujarat, India (magnitude 7.7, 2001) and Bam, Iran (magnitude 6.6, 2003) that killed over 20,000 and 31,000 people, respectively. These numbers were dwarfed by the numbers of earthquake deaths in Pakistan (magnitude 7.6, 2005--86,000 deaths), Wenchuan, China (magnitude 7.9, 2008--87,652 deaths), and Haiti (magnitude 7.0, 2010--222,000 deaths). The Haiti event also ranks among the top ten most fatal earthquakes. The 21st century has observed the most fatal tsunami in recorded history--the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami that caused over 227,000 deaths and $10 billion damage in 14 countries. Six years later, the 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake and tsunami, although not the most fatal (15,000 deaths and 5,000 missing), could cost Japan's government in excess of $300 billion--the most expensive tsunami in history. Volcanic eruptions can cause disruptions and economic impact to the airline industry, but due to their remote locations, fatalities and direct economic effects are uncommon. Despite this fact, the second most expensive eruption in recorded history occurred in the 21st century--the 2010 Merapi, Indonesia volcanic eruption that resulted in 324 deaths, 427 injuries, and $600 million in damage. NGDC integrates all natural hazard event datasets into one search interface. Users can find fatal tsunamis generated by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. The user can then link to information about the related runup observations (e.g. maximum wave height) and the source earthquake or volcano. If available, damage photographs and plots of water level data can also be viewed. The data are accessible online via tables, reports, and a new state-of-the-art interactive map viewer. These data and access capabilities help coastal communities assess their risks, identify hazards, and promote public awareness of tsunamis and earthquakes.

After a destructive tsunami, international, national, and local tsunami scientists need to gather information, much of which is perishable or degrades significantly with time. An influx of researchers can put stress on countries already overwhelmed by humanitarian response to the disaster and by the demands of emergency management and other support agencies. In the United States, in addition to university research scientists, government agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS), and state/territorial emergency management agencies and geological surveys endeavor to collect physical and social science data to better understand the physics of tsunamis and the impact they have on coastal communities and ecosystems. After a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Joint Field Office works with state/territory emergency management agencies to coordinate response to disasters. In the short-term, the collection and immediate sharing of data enable decision-making that better organizes and deploys often-limited resources to the areas most critically in need of response; and in the long-term, improves recovery planning that will mitigate the losses from the next tsunami. Recent tsunamis have emphasized the need for improved coordination of data collection among scientists and federal, state, and local emergency managers. Improved coordination will ensure data collection efforts are carried out in a safe, secure, efficient, and timely manner. To improve coordination of activities that will better integrate the scientific investigations with government response, the US National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program and Pacific Risk Management 'Ohana (PRiMO) are working together to develop a consistent framework for a tsunami technical clearinghouse (TTC). The goals of the TTC, which would include at a minimum an electronic information server but could also include a physical location, are to: 1) assist in the response to, damage assessment of, and early recovery from the natural disaster; 2) facilitate researcher access to the affected areas; and 3) contribute to the capture of valuable and perishable data. The Working Group, composed of representatives from NOAA, USGS, FEMA, and state and local emergency managers and geoscientists, will engage with other stakeholders and the science community to review existing national standard operating procedures for post-tsunami scientific field surveys and data collection, as well as make recommendations for domestic application. The outcomes are intended to propose a national structure that can be consistently implemented within each state and territory.

The system relies on a numerical simulating code, MOST ("Method of Splitting Tsunami"), which is based on the theory of non-dispersive shallow water waves (SW). Studies indicate that due to the numerical dispersion inherent in its finite difference scheme, MOST may also be applied to the propagation of tsunamis with considerable frequency dispersive effects. In this study, we conduct a case study on the 2009 Samoa Tsunami to investigate the dispersive effects on tsunami oceanic propagation, and the application of MOST in simulating dispersive waves. Besides MOST, this event is also simulated with a weakly dispersive Boussinesq model, and an SW-type model solved through high-order finite difference scheme. This study shows significant dispersive effects in this event. The Boussinesq model has a good agreement with field measurements, while the high-order SW-type model predicts higher wave heights and earlier arrival times in most areas. By employing an optimized grid resolution, MOST provides accurate prediction at far less computational expense.

One of three NOAA data centers, NGDC hosts the long-term archive and management of tsunami data for research and mitigation of tsunami hazards under collaborative development between the National Weather Service, the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, and the National Data Buoy Center. Archive responsibilities include the global historic tsunami event and run-up database, the Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART(Registered)) event and native bottom pressure and temperature observations, coastal tide-gauge data from US/NOAA operated stations, historic marigrams, and other hazards-related data and information. In terms of tsunami observations, NGDC currently process and archives all recovered native or 15 seconds high-resolution DART(Registered) bottom pressure observation time series. Tsunami signal-to-noise ratios in the deep-ocean are such that de-tiding based on a combination of tidal harmonic predictions and carefully constructed filters are necessary to obtain clean tsunami records. The processing includes removing tides using a customized version of the IOS tidal package of Mike Foreman. Additional processing is applied for parts of the records with registered tsunami events where the noise from the intra-gravity waves and components representing larger scale oceanic processes are removed by band-pass Kaiser-Bessel filters. The NGDC tsunami archive contains processed full record high-resolution observations for the period 2002-2010. An event-specific archive of real-time and native high-resolution observations recorded during recent significant tsunamis, including the March 2011 Japan Tohoku event are now available through new event pages that have been integrated with the NOAA Global Historical Tsunami Event Database. Event 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. All tsunami data are accessible at http://ngdc.noaa.gov/hazard/recenttsunamis.shtml. Details of filtering and tide removal techniques applied during the processing of all tsunami time series are discussed and spatial distribution and density of the observations along with general statistics are presented. Results obtained from analysis of all recently recovered 15-second high-resolution DART observations for the 11 March 2011 Japan Tohoku tsunami after application of the described processing techniques are presented and show the historic nature of this event; the largest deep-ocean tsunami amplitude in recorded history.

The OFCM working group for volcanic ash (WG/VA) has produced a national framework document entitled National Volcanic Ash Operations Plan for Aviation (NVOPA) in support of the International Airways Volcano Watch, August 2007. This document provides a high level look at the federal agency roles and responsibilities, products and services pertaining to volcanic ash. There are several regional plans that sit under the "national" plan framework specifically, Alaska Interagency Operating Plan for Volcanic Ash Episodes, July 2011; Interagency Operating Plan for Volcanic Ash Hazards to Aviation in the Pacific Region of the Northern Marianas Islands (draft framework), June 2009; Pacific Northwest (Washington/Oregon) Interagency Operating Plan for Volcanic Ash Events, May 2011. In addition to the plans listed above, there is a Hawaii volcano hazards and a California volcanic ash plan under development. Work on a Puerto Rico/Eastern Caribbean plan will commence in 2011. The purpose of these regional plans is to dovetail off of the NVOPA and provide more granularity with respect to agency roles and responsibilities. These regional plans often times will include agency call down lists and volcano specific information for the area of concern. The intent of these plans is not to act as an agency/office SOP but rather provide a more regional perspective. A side benefit to these plans is that they act as a focus around the development of table top exercises between the agencies. Areas in the continental U.S. that have relatively low frequency of volcanic events must practice through table top and communications exercises to remain proficient and ensure the messaging is communicated and appropriate action is taken in a timely fashion.

This area is susceptible to both near- and far-field tsunamis and has a historic record of damaging events. Crescent City Harbor, located about 100km north of Humboldt Bay, suffered $20 million in damages from strong currents produced by the 2006 Kuril Islands tsunami and an additional $16 million from the 2011 Tohoku-oki (Japan) tsunami. We deployed a Nortek Aquadopp 600kHz 2D Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) with a one-minute sampling interval in Humboldt Bay, near the NOAA tide gauge site. The instrument recorded the tsunami produced by the Mw 8.8 Chilean earthquake on February 27, 2010 as well as the Mw 9.0 Japanese earthquake on March 11, 2011. Currents from the 2010 tsunami persisted in Humboldt Bay for at least 30 hrs with a peak current amplitude of 0.3m/s. The 2011 tsunami signal lasted for over 86 hrs with a peak amplitude of 1.2m/s. Strongest currents corresponded to the maximum change in water level as recorded on the NOAA tide gauge, about 90 min after the initial wave arrival. Tsunami currents associated with ebb tides (tidal currents flowing out of the bay) were about 25% larger than currents associated with flood tides. No damage was observed in Humboldt Bay for either event; the 2011 tsunami pulled one boat away from its moorings at the marina about six kilometers away from the instrument site. Although we have no instrument in Crescent City, we were able to estimate currents for the first three and a half hours of the Japan tsunami using security camera video footage from the Harbor Master building across from the entrance to the boat basin, about 70m away from the NOAA tide gauge site. Most of the damage occurred within this time window. The strongest currents reached 4.5m/s and six cycles exceeded 4m/s in the three and a half hours of data. We used the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunamis) model to compare measured currents to numerical predictions. MOST does a reasonably good job of predicting peak amplitudes for the 2010 and 2011 events in Humboldt Bay and the 2011 tsunami in Crescent City. For Humboldt Bay, the model does a good job of replicating the first four hours of the signal although the ebb currents are slightly underestimated. The model predictions break down for the later part of the signal. This project shows that ADCPs can effectively record tsunami currents for small to moderate events. Data from this project will be used to validate and/or calibrate MOST so that realistic tsunami current hazard maps can be generated for California for use by harbor managers.

Such a model would provide a common vertical reference system of orthometric heights accessed using GNSS technology. Canada and the U.S.A. already have plans to implement this for new national datums in 2013 (Canada) and 2022 (U.S.A.). The resulting geopotential values would also serve as the basis for determining dynamic heights as a part of the International Great Lakes Datum due to be updated around 2015. A critical aspect of this process then is the determining the most optimal geopotential value (W (sub 0) ) for these datum definitions. A number of different data sets were compared in this analysis including various geoid height models, GNSS-determined ellipsoidal coordinates on tidal bench marks (TBM's), models of mean ocean dynamic topography (MODT) determined from physical oceanography, and altimeter-derived mean sea surface heights (MSSH). The expectation of this analysis is that the geoid and MODT heights should equal the heights observed either at TBM's or in the MSSH models. The requirement that the MODT models be based on physical oceanography reduces potential correlation with the MSSH in the results. The aim of this study then was to evaluate independent data sets to determine uncorrelated and unambiguous results. Any biases would potentially indicate an incorrect choice of W (sub 0) . Current models of the U.S.A. and Canada use a W (sub 0) value of 62636856.88 m (super 2) /s (super 2) . The result of the comparisons show that this number is near optimal though some small change may be required depending pending refinement of the results along the eastern coast of the U.S.A., where the effects of the Gulf Stream complicate this analysis.

A Tsunami Warning is issued if the earthquake's magnitude exceeds a specific threshold level, and the epicenter is located within a region that could potentially generate a tsunami. Once a Warning has been disseminated, scientists at the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WCATWC) begin to monitor tide gauges and DART buoys. This sea level information is then used to calibrate forecast models that compute the probable tsunami wave amplitudes at various locations along the coast. The observed sea level data, along with arrival time and coastal amplitude forecasts, are distributed to the appropriate government agencies. During a major event, the WCATWC will issue Warning or Advisory messages at frequency of 1 to 2 per hour. In addition, conference calls are conducted with State Emergency Managers every 1-2 hours to provide emergency managers more detailed information and an estimate of the time that the Warning or Advisory will remain in effect Estimating the length of time the Warning and Advisory would stay in effect proved difficult during the 2011 Japan Tsunami Warning. To address the problem, WCATWC developed a technique to estimate the time when the tsunami levels will fall below the Warning or Advisory thresholds. In many harbors along Alaska and the West Coast of North America the tsunami envelope will decay exponentially after the arrival of the maximum value. To estimate the time it will take before wave heights drop below Advisory levels the real time data is first filtered to remove the effects of tidal variations. A series of peaks occurring past the tsunami envelope peak are used to obtain a least squares fit to an exponential function. This method yields a decay constant which may be used to calculate the time that the wave height will fall below the advisory threshold of 0.3 meters. For example when this technique was applied to the Tohoku tsunami at Adak, Alaska, an accurate estimate of the time to the cancellation could be made 9.0 hours before the actual cancellation. Unfortunately, not all harbors demonstrate a uniform exponential decay. For these cases a series of exponential decay curves beginning at the envelope peak are superimposed on the real time tide data. An analyst can then monitor the sea level data and, with aid of the decay curves, obtain an estimated cancellation time for the event. This information may then be given to emergency managers during subsequent conference calls to assist with long range planning.

To date, tsunami risk reduction activities have been almost exclusively hazard mapping and evacuation planning. Reducing deaths in locations where evacuation to high ground is impossible in the short time between ground shaking and arrival of tsunamis requires measures such as vertical evacuation facilities or engineered pathways to safe ground. Yet, very few, if any, such tsunami mitigation projects have been done. In contrast, many tornado safe room and earthquake mitigation projects driven entirely or in largely by life safety have been done with costs in the billions of dollars. The absence of tsunami mitigation measures results from the belief that tsunamis are too infrequent and the costs too high to justify life safety mitigation measures. A simple analysis based on return periods, death rates, and the geographic distribution of high risk areas for these hazards demonstrates that this belief is incorrect: well-engineered tsunami mitigation projects are more cost-effective with higher benefit-cost ratios than almost all tornado or earthquake mitigation projects. Goldfinger's paleoseismic studies of CSZ turbidites indicate return periods for major CSZ tsunamis of about 250-500 years (USGS Prof. Paper 1661-F in press). Tsunami return periods are comparable to those for major earthquakes at a given location in high seismic areas and are much shorter than those for tornados at any location which range from >4,000 to >16,000 years for >EF2 and >EF4 tornadoes, respectively. The average earthquake death rate in the US over the past 100 years is about 1/year, or about 30/year including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The average death rate for tornadoes is about 90/year. For CSZ tsunamis, the estimated average death rate ranges from about 20/year (10,000 every 500 years) to 80/year (20,000 every 250 years). Thus, the long term deaths rates from tsunamis, earthquakes and tornadoes are comparable. High hazard areas for tornadoes and earthquakes cover approximately 40% and approximately 15% of the contiguous US, approximately 1,250,000 and approximately 500,000 square miles, respectively. In marked contrast, tsunami life safety risk is concentrated in communities with significant populations in areas where evacuation to high ground is impossible: probably <4,000 square miles or <0.1% of the US. The geographic distribution of life safety risk profoundly affects the economics of tsunami life safety mitigation projects. Consider a tsunami life safety project which saves an average of one life per year (500 lives per 500 years). Using FEMA's value of human life ($5.8 million), 7% discount rate and a 50-year project useful lifetime, the net present value of avoided deaths is $80 million. Thus, the benefit-cost ratio would be about 16 or about 80 for tsunami mitigation projects which cost $5 million or $1 million, respectively. These rough calculations indicate that tsunami mitigation projects in high risk locations are economically justified. More importantly, these results indicate that national and local priorities for natural hazard mitigation should be reconsidered, with tsunami mitigation given a very high priority.

At Axial Seamount, an active deep-sea volcano located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, sulfide concentrations have been measured as high as 5770 mu M, and sulfide oxidation is quantitatively the most important chemical energy source for microbial metabolism. In addition, studies of microbial population structure indicate that diffuse fluids at Axial are dominated by putative sulfur- and sulfide-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the Epsilonproteobacteria. To further study this important microbial process, we surveyed diffuse vent samples from Axial over a range of temperature, pH, and sulfide concentrations for the presence and expression of sulfide-oxidizing bacteria using a functional gene approach. Dissolved oxygen concentrations decrease exponentially above 40 degrees C and lower the potential for sulfide oxidation, so we identified six sites of different temperatures, two each in the low (< 30 degrees C), medium ( approximately 30 degrees C), and high temperature (30-50 degrees C) range. The low temperature sites had sulfide-to-temperature ratios of 1-26, the medium from 15-29, and the high from 26-36. PCR primers were designed to target the sulfur oxidation gene soxB specifically from Epsilonproteobacteria and five of the six sites were positive for soxB in the DNA fraction. Bulk RNA was also extracted from the same sites to examine in situ expression of soxB. Data from these analyses, along with quantification of the soxB gene abundance and expression using quantitative PCR, are currently being carried out. Together, this data set of soxB gene diversity, expression, and abundance along with geochemical data will allow us to quantitatively determine the functional dynamics of sulfide oxidation in the subseafloor at Axial Seamount. The molecular techniques developed in this project are also being applied to fluid samples collected from many of the same sites at Axial following the recent 2011 eruption, as well as fluid samples collected from new snowblower vents believed to be rich in sulfide-oxidizing bacteria.

In SIFT, tsunami simulations for about 1600 individual earthquake sources, each 100 X 50 km, define shallow subduction worldwide. These simulations are stored in a database and combined linearly to make up the tsunami from any great earthquake. Precomputation is necessary because the nonlinear shallow-water wave equations are too time consuming to compute during an event. While such scenario-based models are valuable, they tacitly assume all energy in a tsunami comes from thrust at the decollement. The thrust assumption is often violated (e.g., 1933 Sanriku, 2007 Kurils, 2009 Samoa), while a significant number of tsunamigenic earthquakes are completely unrelated to subduction (e.g., 1812 Santa Barbara, 1939 Accra, 1975 Kalapana). Finally, parts of some subduction zones are so poorly defined that precomputations may be of little value (e.g., 1762 Arakan, 1755 Lisbon). For all such sources, a fast means of estimating tsunami size is essential. At the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, we have been using our model RIFT (Real-time Inundation Forecasting of Tsunamis) experimentally for two years. RIFT is fast by design: it solves only the linearized form of the equations. At 4 arc-minutes resolution calculations for the entire Pacific take just a few minutes on an 8-processor Linux box. Part of the rationale for developing RIFT was earthquakes of M 7.8 or smaller, which approach the lower limit of the more complex SIFT's abilities. For such events we currently issue a fixed warning to areas within 1,000 km of the source, which typically means a lot of over-warning. With sources defined by W-phase CMTs, exhaustive comparison with runup data shows that we can reduce the warning area significantly. Even before CMTs are available, we routinely run models based on the local tectonics, which provide a useful first estimate of the tsunami. Our runup comparisons show that Green's Law (i.e., 1-D runup estimates) works very well indeed, especially if computations are run at 2 arc-minutes. We are developing an experimental RIFT-based product showing expected runups on open coasts. While these will necessarily be rather crude they will be a great help to emergency managers trying to assess the hazard. RIFT is typically run using a single source, but it can already handle multiple sources. In particular, it can handle multiple sources of different orientations such as 1993 Okushiri, or the decollement-splay combinations to be expected during major earthquakes in accretionary margins such as Nankai, Cascadia, and Middle America. As computers get faster and the number-crunching burden is off-loaded to GPUs, we are convinced there will still be a use for a fast, linearized, modeling capability. Rather than applying scaling laws to a CMT, or distributing slip over 100 X 50 km sub-faults, for example, it would be preferable to model tsunamis using the output from a finite-fault analysis. To accomplish such a compute-bound task fast enough for warning purposes will demand a rapid, approximate technique like RIFT.

Forty day time series of vertical velocity and temperature fluctuations were obtained across the rising plume at 20 m above the Dante edifice in an environment where the flow is dominated by strong (5 cm s (super -1) ) semi-diurnal tidal currents and a northerly mean residual flow (3 cm s (super -1) ). These measurements provide a window on deep-sea hydrothermal plume dynamics in strong oscillatory cross flows. Plume models that take into account ambient stratification and time-dependent background flows, in conjunction with these measurements, yield insights into entrainment, plume bending, rise height, and, inferentially, mound heat flux. In particular, an integral plume model with an entrainment velocity that is a function of both the plume axial velocity and the ambient tidal flow perpendicular to the plume axis indicates that increased entrainment occurs during strong cross flows causing the plume to cool, rise more slowly and bend. Results from a separate three-dimensional numerical model show the plume bending with the tidal cycle and having rise heights that vary from approximately 75 to approximately 250 m for an estimated mound heat flux of 40MW and a discharge salinity anomaly of -5 psu. The model attributes the observed inverse relationship of plume vertical and background horizontal velocities to the plume's bending by tidal currents as well.

This speed difference allows TWC scientists to determine the tsunami-generating potential of an earthquake, or even analyze the tsunami itself, before the tsunami reaches threatened coastlines. Given that we know where tsunami-generating earthquakes are likely to occur, how fast both seismic and tsunami waves propagate, and the distribution of both seismic and sea-level sensors installed around the world, we can predict how rapidly a TWC should be able to respond to any tsunami-generating earthquake and thus which coastlines will receive a tsunami warning in time to react and which coastlines will get little or no warning (Becker et al., EOS Trans. AGU, 2010). TWCs can forecast a tsunami and issue a warning based on earthquake characteristics alone, but near real-time sea-level measurements are necessary for the TWC to refine its forecast and expand, narrow, or cancel tsunami warnings, to not only protect more lives and property when a tsunami is more severe than initially forecast, but to also prevent unnecessary and costly evacuations when a tsunami is less intense and/or more focused than initially forecast. To determine how soon a TWC will have useful sea-level data after an earthquake, we calculated tsunami travel times (TTTs) from likely tsunami sources, i.e., thrust faults at subduction zones, to both coastal and deep-ocean sea level sensors monitored by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC). For this purpose we geographically sampled the axes of deep-sea trenches with a geodesic grid to ensure equal spacing of simulated sources. We then calculated global TTT grids for each of these sources and sampled each grid at the locations of coastal and deep-ocean sea-level gauges currently monitored by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC). We then added each gauge's transmission interval to the TTT values sampled at the gauges to determine the maximum time required for one, two, and three gauges to detect and transmit information about a tsunami generated by these sources. We also analyzed the network available to PTWC in 2005, showing how detection times have improved since then, and a hypothetical network in which all coastlines and oceans are saturated with sensors, showing that further improvements are still possible. We also used these data to quantify how the network can be compromised by sensor outages, identify those tsunami sources most in need of additional sea-level sensors for tsunami detection, and determine where future sensors should be located. As installing one deep-ocean sensor costs about 10 times as much as installing a coastal gauge, we also determine which sensor is more cost-effective for filling these network gaps. These analyses show that for global tsunami hazard mitigation the installation of about 100 additional carefully-selected coastal sea-level gauges could greatly improve the speed of tsunami detection and characterization.

Continuous monitoring of CO (sub 2) flux has been achieved in only a few instances at subaerial volcanoes, but never for submarine volcanoes. Here we use the first sustained (year-long) hydroacoustic monitoring of an erupting submarine volcano (NW Rota-1, Mariana island arc) to make the first calculations of total gas flux from a volcano into the ocean. Bursts of Strombolian explosive degassing at the volcano summit (520 m deep) occurred at 1-2 minute intervals during the entire 12-month hydrophone record and commonly exhibited cyclic step-function changes between high and low intensity. The explosion bursts are comprised of hundreds of individual (100-200 ms duration) explosion pulses totaling approximately 12.7M discrete pulses recorded during the year. The acoustic explosion packets are broadband: 1-80 Hz with a peak at 30 Hz. The loudest explosions occurred during February-August 2008 with a typical sound level of 192 dB (sub rms) re mu Pa (super 2) /Hz [at] 1m, equal to approximately 100 W of acoustic power. Total gas flux calculated from the hydroacoustic record, 5.4 + or - 0.6 Tg a (super -1) , combined with melt inclusion information, yields an annual CO (sub 2) eruption flux of 0.4 + or - 0.1 Tg a (super -1) . This result is consistent with measured CO (sub 2) fluxes at continuously erupting subaerial volcanoes ( approximately 0.5 Tg a (super -1) ), and represents approximately 0.2-0.6% of the annual estimated output of CO (sub 2) from all subaerial arc volcanoes. The multi-year eruptive history of NW Rota-1 demonstrates that submarine volcanoes can be significant and sustained sources of CO (sub 2) to the shallow ocean.

The NE portion of this basin is characterized by numerous recently active volcanic centers that have erupted a diverse range of magma types over a relatively small spatial domain (see Embley et al., 2009, abstract V51D-1719). Roughly 20% of the sea floor in an area of 40 X 70km in the northeasternmost portion of the basin is floored by high backscatter seafloor characterized by little to no sediment cover, as documented by near-bottom photographs, and recovery of relatively fresh lavas during dredging operations aboard the R/V Kilo Moana in 2010. Visual observations are consistent with ages of 100 to 1000 yrs for most of these lavas. This region includes two recently active volcanoes discovered in 2008 as well as numerous others, such as a series of 9 small, very closely spaced, hydrothermally-active, elongate volcanic edifices (the "Matas") near the east-west portion of the Tonga Trench with an average spacing of just 4 km between the summits. Dredging reveals that all the Matas are composed of fresh boninite or picrite. A large, approximately 140 km (super 2) lava sheet composed of one or more lava flows emanates from ridges and scarps between Volcano "O" and West Mata. These predominantly lobate and pillowed flows are fresh, very glassy and nearly aphyric; given lava thicknesses in excess of 30m seen in collapsed lava ponds, total erupted volumes probably represent >4 km (super 3) of erupted magma. Other features in the area, some of which are currently hydrothermally active, have erupted compositions ranging from basalt to dacite. The voluminous, geologically recent volcanic activity from a wide range of primarily extensional volcanic centers suggests that this portion of the highly dynamic NE Lau Basin is experiencing chaotic and perhaps transient patterns of localized mantle upwelling capable of sampling and preserving a diverse range of mantle compositions and magma-forming conditions. The defocused nature of the volcanism is likely aided by neotectonic activity producing tears in the thin lithosphere of the basin. Lava whole rock compositions and preliminary U-series disequilibria data suggest that magmas are forming here at rates comparable to the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise and with limited residence time in crustal magma bodies. Collectively, these observations suggest rapid melting and melt transport over a wide area of shallow back arc mantle with highly localized zones of upwelling and melt focusing to multiple simultaneously active volcanic centers, and that significant back arc magmatism occurs at non-spreading center volcanoes.

The number of eruptions detected and responded to remain very few, however, so our knowledge of the magnitude and rate of crust-ocean interaction at the instant of an eruption is almost entirely circumstantial. The discovery of uniquely different plumes over a 2008 eruption on the NE Lau spreading center greatly broadened the known range of eruption-initiated transfer of heat, chemicals, and perhaps biota from the crust to the ocean. Serendipitous observations and rapid response cruises have now documented that the "event (mega-) plumes" accompanying eruptions range over a factor of 100 in volume (1-150 km (super 3) ), yet maintain a distinctive and consistent chemical signature (much lower (super 3) He/heat and Mn/heat and higher H (sub 2) /heat than typical black smokers). Confirmed event plumes have formed at spreading rates from 55- approximately 90 mm/yr, with some incompletely sampled but "event-like" plumes observed at even slower rates (11-30 mm/yr; Gakkel and Carlsberg Ridges). Presently, only four event plumes can be associated with specific eruptions. Large event plumes in the NE Pacific were found over thick (up to approximately 75 m), voluminous, and slowly extruded pillow mounds. The 2008 eruption on the fast-spreading NE Lau spreading center demonstrated that thin (a few meters), small, and rapidly emplaced sheet flows can generate smaller event plumes. Available evidence suggests that massive fluid discharge occurs virtually simultaneously with an eruption. At Gorda Ridge in 1996, eruption-indicative seismicity began on the same day and location an event plume was found. At Axial Volcano in 1998, moorings 2 km apart both recorded the appearance of a >100-m-thick plume within minutes of the start of a 72-min-long sheet flow eruption. These observations support inferences from plume modeling and chemistry that event plume generation time is hours, not days. Candidates for the source of event plume fluids include the release of high-temperature, pre-formed hydrothermal fluid from the crust or magma chamber; the heating of crustal fluid by a cooling dike; or the conversion of seawater to hydrothermal fluid by cooling lava. The requirements of very high crustal permeabilities and/or a large volume of stored fluids hinder the first two hypotheses. The slow rate of lava cooling relative to event plume formation hinders the third hypothesis. Whatever the process, the uniform and unique chemistry of event plumes requires a consistent formation process during all types and sizes of eruptions. High concentrations of H (sub 2) and abundant basalt shards in the 2008 event plumes necessitate interaction between source fluids and molten lava. The 2008 observations also preclude source fluid salinities < approximately 15 psu, much higher than the values as low as approximately 2 psu measured in post-eruption vent fluids at some sites. Source fluids with salinities fresher than approximately 15 psu would have produced unreasonably high or negative temperature anomaly values in the event plumes. The immediate generation of copious hydrothermal fluids now seems a common consequence of any midocean ridge eruption at any depth. The difficulty of formulating a convincing theory to explain this conclusion implies that we remain ignorant about some of the most fundamental processes that occur during events of ocean crust accretion.

The VAA contains information about which volcano is erupting, the volcanoes location, as well as the time and duration of the eruption. If ash is observed in satellite imagery, a 6, 12 and 18 hour forecast are provided to specify the possible location of ash. The goal of the VAA is to help airlines create accurate flight guidance for their aircraft. The priority of each VAAC is to prevent aircraft from flying through ash with a secondary priority of minimizing unnecessary diversions. Remote sensing platforms provide a unique perspective for volcanic ash detection especially in the cases of remote and unmonitored volcanoes. This includes monitoring of multispectral satellite imagery (Visible, Infrared) from both geostationary and polar orbiting platforms as well as derived products such as SO (sub 2) , Volcanic Ash Masks/Loading and LIDAR data. To generate the VAA, satellite analysts use the satellite imagery in combination with observations from local Meteorological Watch Offices (MWO), Volcano Observatories, Pilot Reports (PIREP), seismic stations, web cameras and meteorological forecast grids. Challenges arise in regard to availability of data for each individual volcano, reliability of model wind fields over data sparse regions, as well as timeliness and availability of satellite imagery and products. These challenges become further exacerbated when volcanic ash crosses VAAC and MWO boundaries and interagency communication becomes essential. While working through multi-lingual communications and operational variation (e.g. data availability, standard operation procedures), VAACs face the challenge of maintaining coordination and avoiding the pitfalls of break downs in communication and guidance confusion. This talk will discuss these issues and pose potential communication and coordination efforts from the Washington VAAC perspective.

The NE Lau basin has the highest subduction rates on Earth [Bevis et al., 1995] and is Earth's fastest-opening back-arc basin [Zellmer and Taylor, 2001]. The NE Lau Basin contains abundant recent submarine volcanism with magma production likely driven by water released from the subducting slab and decompression associated with crustal extension. One manifestation of this abundant volcanism is Volcano O, one of the largest discrete active-submarine volcanoes on Earth. It is hard to classify this volcano is either arc or back arc because its location behind the magmatic arc is inconsistent with the eruption of dacitic lavas and highly acidic hydrothermal activity reported here. Volcano O has exhibited ongoing hydrothermal activity as documented in 2004 (Lupton pers. Comm.), 2006 [Kim et al., 2009], and in both 2008 and 2010 as presented here. In 2008 and 2010, we documented intense hydrothermal plumes in several locations in the caldera. The most intense hydrothermal plume was observed in 2010 directly above a small cone on the eastern side of the caldera. A camera tow across the cone revealed fresh blocky lavas with a hint of sulfur-rich waters surrounding the cone. Here we present data on the chemistry of hydrothermal plumes at Volcano O. Of particular interest is a hydrocast conducted directly above the cone. During this hydrocast we collected fluids rich in Fe (< or =13,000nM), Mn (< or =665nM), particulate Al (< or =1500nM), particulate sulfur (< or =18000nM), and with large decreases in pH (< or =0.9 pH units). These anomalies are extraordinarily large and are much greater than the Fe and Mn levels observed by Kim et al. These chemical enrichments and depletions strongly suggest that Volcano O is actively degassing SO (sub 2) which, in turn, suggests that the magma chamber must be fairly shallow. This may indicate an active state of cone building at Volcano O. In addition to the above data, we will also present data on CO (sub 2) and (super 3) He in the plumes to better constrain the source of the magmatic volatiles feeding the volcano.

Because groundwater often has elevated nutrient levels with respect to surface water, submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) may be an important source of nutrients to coastal bays. To understand the pathways of SGD and how bayfloor geology and hydrology affect them, we examined the geology, porewater salinity, and SGD rates and patterns at Indian River Bay, DE. Marine geophysical tools were used to identify the hydrogeologic framework and geometry of a shore-perpendicular freshwater plume beneath the bay. Shallow chirp seismic data outlined a low-permeability paleochannel infill, which is 150 m across and 2-3m thick at the center, thinning towards the channel flanks. Offshore continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data show a low-salinity plume generally co-located with, but extending beyond the edges of, this low-permeability cap. Salinity data from 12 offshore wells with multi-level sampling ports verify the general extent of the plume indicated by CRP data. Using Lee-type seepage meters, 565 direct measurements of SGD were made between July 2010 and June 2011. These data show that the paleochannel feature generally controls nearby fresh SGD (FSGD), preventing discharge at the shoreline and causing diffuse freshened or brackish discharge at the channel flanks. In the adjoining interfluve, where the low-K cap is absent, fresh discharge appears focused and decreases monotonically from the shoreline, as predicted by theory. Saline SGD did not follow this trend and comprised the majority of the discharge. The measured maximum FSGD was 33 cm/d compared to 198 cm/d for recirculated baywater. SGD salinity ranged from 0-33 ppt, with an average of 26.9 ppt; the average surface baywater salinity was 28.4 ppt. Seepage salinity patterns correlate spatially with CRP survey results. To assess the potential for saline SGD driven by interactions of surface water flowing over deployed seepage meters, bay surface current velocities were measured with an acoustic Doppler current profiler. Currents ranged from 0-20 cm/s with an average of 3-6 cm/s, which would produce an estimated discharge of <6 cm/d, less than the average measured saline flux (9.2 cm/d). This indicates that other factors are driving the large saline SGD component at this site. During spring tides, both fresh and saline SGD rates at low tide are twice those at high tide, indicating a strong tidal influence on SGD. Though SGD is difficult to measure due to inherent geologic heterogeneity, temporal forcing factors and current/bathymetry interactions, extensive direct seepage data and correlated geophysical and well data show that the low-permeability paleochannel cap confines and controls fresh and saline groundwater flowpaths to the bay. By quantifying the effects of this cap we can develop better estimates of water and chemical fluxes into the bay.

A danger, however, is that the processes observed at a particular research watershed are too specific to the watershed and not representative even of the larger scale watershed that contains that particular research watershed. Thus, models developed based on those partial observations may not be suitable for general hydrologic use. Therefore demonstrating the upscaling of hydrologic process from research watersheds to larger watersheds is essential to validate concepts and test model structure. The Hydrograph model has been developed as a general-purpose process-based hydrologic distributed system. In its applications and further development we evaluate the scaling of model concepts and parameters in a wide range of hydrologic landscapes. All models, either lumped or distributed, are based on a discretization concept. It is common practice that watersheds are discretized into so called hydrologic units or hydrologic landscapes possessing assumed homogeneous hydrologic functioning. If a model structure is fixed, the difference in hydrologic functioning (difference in hydrologic landscapes) should be reflected by a specific set of model parameters. Research watersheds provide the possibility for reasonable detailed combining of processes into some typical hydrologic concept such as hydrologic units, hydrologic forms, and runoff formation complexes in the Hydrograph model. And here by upscaling we imply not the upscaling of a single process but upscaling of such unified hydrologic functioning. The simulation of runoff processes for the Dry Creek research watershed, Idaho, USA (27 km2) was undertaken using the Hydrograph model. The information on the watershed was provided by Boise State University and included a GIS database of watershed characteristics and a detailed hydrometeorological observational dataset. The model provided good simulation results in terms of runoff and variable states of soil and snow over a simulation period 2000 - 2009. The parameters of the model were hand-adjusted based on rational sense, observational data and available understanding of underlying processes. For the first run some processes as riparian vegetation impact on runoff and streamflow/groundwater interaction were handled in a conceptual way. It was shown that the use of Hydrograph model which requires modest amount of parameter calibration may serve also as a quality control for observations. Based on the obtained parameters values and process understanding at the research watershed the model was applied to the larger scale watersheds located in similar environment - the Boise River at South Fork (1660 km2) and Twin Springs (2155 km2). The evaluation of the results of such upscaling will be presented.

Increases in evapotranspiration from earlier exposure of vegetation and soils decreases annual runoff by more than 1.0 billion cubic meters or approximately 5% of the annual average. This prior work was based on observed dust loadings during 2003-2008, however 2009 and 2010 saw unprecedented levels of dust loading on snowpacks in the Upper Colorado River basin on the order of 5 times the 2003-2008 loading. We present new results examining the hydrologic impact of extreme dust years such as 2009/2010, and interactions with projected regional warming.

These high-precision observations offer key constraints on CH (sub 4) 's budget including the global burden, the rate of increase, and the spatial distribution of CH (sub 4) at the surface. These observations allow estimates of total global CH (sub 4) emissions without using a chemical transport model. A surprising result of this analysis is that, if the CH (sub 4) lifetime has been constant, then total global emissions have been approximately constant since the mid-1980s. This result is difficult to reconcile with bottom-up inventories that report increasing anthropogenic emissions, unless natural emissions have decreased considerably. Analysis of anomalies in CH (sub 4) growth rate also allow us to test our understanding of the processes that affect the atmospheric CH (sub 4) burden. Large anomalies have been attributed to decreased CH (sub 4) sink after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1992, decreased emissions from wetlands because of cooler than normal temperatures in 1992, and increased emissions from biomass burning and wetlands in 1997/98. The most recent anomaly, starting in 2007 and continuing into early-2011 with an average rate of increase of nearly equal 6 ppb yr (super -1) , is more persistent than previous ones and may indicate a permanent change to the global CH (sub 4) budget. Dlugokencky et al. [Geophys. Res. Lett., 36, 2009] attributed the increases in 2007 and 2008 to anomalously high temperatures in the Arctic (2007) and greater than average precipitation in the tropics (2007 and 2008). Continuing increases in 2009 and 2010 may be related to a very strong La Nina starting in 2010, the same climate pattern responsible for large positive precipitation anomalies in tropical wetland regions in 2007 and 2008. Indeed, strong precipitation anomalies were observed in SE Asia during 2010. This is a likely cause of continued CH (sub 4) increase, and it is consistent with the observation that the largest growth rates in 2010 were in the southern tropics. For 2009, when we were in a weak El Nino, no clear cause has emerged. The observations indicate the largest growth rates were observed in mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, a departure from 2007, 2008, and 2010 when signals were clearly dominated by the tropics. A recent model study by Bousquet et al. (Atmos. Chem. Phys., 11, 3689-3700, 2011) is consistent with our earlier study on the role of tropical and high northern latitude wetlands in increased CH (sub 4) growth during 2007, but unclear as to the causes of increase in 2008. Little additional information about the causes of the recent anomaly has been determined from satellite retrievals of CH (sub 4) column abundance (Frankenberg et al., J. Geophys. Res., 116, 2011).

A new global inventory of dust sources is derived from Aqua MODIS Deep Blue Level 2 spectral aerosol data, after evaluation with ground based AERONET sunphotometers data. The natural or anthropogenic origin of the sources is attributed from land use, land cover and hydrological datasets. Comparison with data from other instruments (e.g. TOMS, OMI, SEAWiFS, MODIS on Terra) show remarkable similarities over most natural sources. The regional differences are essentially related to the combination of drought and land use. Simulations of natural and anthropogenic dust with the NOAA-GFDL AM3 climate model allow to quantify their respective contribution to aerosol optical depth, absorption optical depth and radiative forcing.

On the other hand, the additional of billions of tons of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to permafrost thawing will intensify the global warming. We investigate the interaction of permafrost thawing and global warming and estimate the surface warming due to permafrost carbon release during period of 1960-2200. We use SiBCASA (land surface model) projections based on A1B scenario to obtain the cumulative permafrost carbon flux to atmosphere, calculate the corresponding increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and add it to the CO2 concentration of A1B scenario. We will use the PLASIM (General Climate Model) to estimate the additional increase in surface air temperature due to permafrost thawing in 21st and 22nd Century. Our SibCASA projections indicated a cumulative permafrost carbon release of 190+ or -64 Gt by 2200, which is equivalent to an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration of 87+ or -29 ppm. Based on the Vostok record, an increase of nearly equal 80 ppm is associated with 8-10 degrees C increase in global temperature after glacial termination, so strong surface warming due to permafrost thawing is expected.

Emissions from carbon stored in Arctic soil are projected to increase as the region warms and the permafrost thaws, creating a potent feedback mechanism for climate change. This year, NASA's Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) began multi-year aircraft measurements in Alaska, which, coupled with regional modeling of methane fluxes, will evaluate and quantify the effect of regional climate change on ecosystem CO2 and CH4 fluxes. A crucial component of such regional modeling is the choice of background mixing ratio for a given atmospheric sample. A recent addition to the NOAA/GMD aircraft program provides valuable information on background mixing ratios for the Alaskan interior and provides insight into the seasonal cycle and inter-annual variability as well as spatial and temporal context for the measurements being made during the CARVE campaigns. The NOAA/GMD aircraft program began new, ongoing greenhouse gas measurements in Alaska in 2009 (complementing existing ground stations at Barrow and Cold Bay, and a flask-only aircraft site outside of Fairbanks), through a collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard. Bi-weekly Arctic Domain Awareness flights on C-130 aircraft generally begin in Kodiak, continue to Barrow, and return back to Kodiak after altitude profiles over Kivalina and Galena. On-board measurements include continuous CO2, CH4, CO, and ozone, as well as 24 flask samples analyzed at NOAA for CO2, CH4, CO, and 50 additional gases. In addition to spanning a large geographic region, the measurements also span the entire growing season, from late March to late November each year. We will present data from 2009 - 2011, with a focus on Arctic CH4. The measurements provide us with additional understanding of the various influences on the seasonal cycles of CH4 and CO2: stratospheric mixing, transport from lower latitudes, and boundary layer processes. They also provide an assessment of potential regional sources of CH4, such as those that may exist in the Arctic Ocean. Our measurements are a valuable tool for regional Arctic modeling efforts seeking to validate boundary conditions from global models, such as CarbonTracker-CH4, and contribute to scientific knowledge of CH4 emissions in the high northern latitudes.

G. Roble advanced an ambitious program of developing an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) extending from the surface to the exosphere. He outlined several areas of research and application to potentially benefit from what is now commonly called whole atmosphere modeling. The purpose of this article is to introduce this new field to a broader geophysical community and document its progress over the last decade. Vertically extended models are commonly built from existing weather and climate GCM codes incorporating a number of approximations, which may no longer be valid. Promising directions of further model development, potential applications, and challenges are outlined. One application is space weather or day-to-day and seasonal variability in the ionosphere and thermosphere driven by meteorological processes from below. Various modes of connection between the lower and upper atmosphere had been known before, but new and sometimes unexpected observational evidence has emerged over the last decade. Persistent "nonmigrating" wavy structures in plasma and neutral densities and a dramatic response of the equatorial ionosphere to sudden warmings in the polar winter stratosphere are just two examples. Because large-scale meteorological processes are predictable several days in advance, whole atmosphere weather prediction models open an opportunity for developing a real forecast capability for space weather. Key Points * Progress in a new actively developing area of research is documented * Whole atmosphere models promise a forecast capability for space weather * Whole atmosphere models may be beneficial for conventional weather prediction JF - Reviews of Geophysics AU - Akmaev, R A AD - NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Boulder, Colorado, USA.

Scientific use of data from the Swarm mission will also benefit significantly from derived products, the so-called Level-2 products, that take into account the features of the constellation. For this reason ESA has established a "Satellite Constellation Application and Research Facility" (SCARF), in the form of a consortium of several research institutions. A number of Level-2 data products will be offered by this consortium, including various models of the core and lithospheric field, as well as of the ionospheric and magnetospheric field. In addition, derived parameters like mantle conductivity, thermospheric mass density and winds, field-aligned currents, an ionospheric plasma bubble index, the ionospheric total electron content and the dayside equatorial zonal electrical field will be calculated.

The paleo index is compiled from 117 temperature-sensitive proxy records including corals, ice cores, lake and ocean sediments, and historical documents. The individual series are globally-distributed with inter-annual to sub-annual resolution. Each series was normalized to produce index values of change relative to a 1901-2000 base period; the index values were then averaged. From 1880 to 1995, the index trends significantly upward, similar to the GST. Small-scale aspects of the GST including two warming trends and a warm interval during the 1940s are also observed in the paleo index. The paleo index continuously extends back to 1730 with 45 records and reveals that the upward trend observed in the GST began in the early 19th century. The paleo index supports the fidelity of the GST and confirms the global extent of the warming trend of the past century.

Current hypotheses used to explain these lake level changes include the thermodynamic hypothesis, in which decreased tropospheric water vapor coupled with patterns of convergence and divergence caused dry areas to become more wet and vice versa, the dynamic hypothesis, in which shifts in the jet stream and Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) altered precipitation patterns, and the evaporation hypothesis, in which lake expansions are attributed to reduced evaporation in a colder climate. This modeling study uses the output of four climate models participating in phase 2 of the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP2) as input into a lake energy-balance model, in order to test the accuracy of the models and understand the causes of lake level changes. We model five lakes which include the Great Basin lakes, USA; Lake Peten Itza, Guatemala; Lake Caco, northern Brazil; Lake Tauca (Titicaca), Bolivia and Peru; and Lake Cari-Laufquen, Argentina. These lakes create a transect through the drylands of North America through the tropics and to the drylands of South America. The models accurately recreate LGM conditions in 14 out of 20 simulations, with the Great Basin lakes being the most robust and Lake Caco being the least robust, due to model biases in portraying the ITCZ over South America. An analysis of the atmospheric moisture budget from one of the climate models shows that thermodynamic processes contribute most significantly to precipitation changes over the Great Basin, while dynamic processes are most significant for the other lakes. Lake Cari-Laufquen shows a lake expansion that is most likely attributed to reduced evaporation rather than changes in regional precipitation, suggesting that lake levels alone may not be the best indicator of how much precipitation this region receives. Our results indicate that the causes of hydrologic fluctuations are spatially diverse and that future projections will need to consider more than just thermodynamic changes for accurate regional predictions.

A relatively warm Medieval period ( nearly equal 1100-1500) and cool Little Ice Age ( nearly equal 1500-1900, coolest during the early 19th century) are reconstructed using a generalized linear model employing Bayesian inference. Plausible modern circulation analogs are considered, showing pressure composites that may have been more prevalent during the earlier compared to the later period. These analog patterns are consistent with independent reconstructions of positive NAO/AMO-like conditions during Medieval times, both of which are similar to circulation patterns simulated by GCMs using generalized sea surface temperatures consistent with La Nina-like conditions in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. The climatic patterns that generally lead to warmer summers in the study region are additionally associated with anomalous high-pressure ridging and large-scale drought, which is also consistent with drought reconstructions for North America during Medieval times. New tree ring-based reconstructions of the surface temperature field over the past 500 years in western North America and the adjacent Pacific Ocean are also presented. A key feature of these reconstructions occurs in the early 19th century, which is the coldest period across the region during this time, similar to the center-continent pollen-based record. The spatially-explicit field reconstructions are used to drive analysis of regional responses to volcanic forcing, providing a basis for examining agreement between the reconstructed response patterns and the corresponding responses in GCM simulations. The ultimate goal of comparison is to identify regionally best-performing GCM output to use as forcing input in regional impacts models. Initial application of the regional post-volcanic fingerprint to parallel analyses done with members of the NCAR CCSM suite of models suggests that significant improvement in regional fidelity has resulted from continued model development. Additional examination using a new millennium-length CCSM integration and adding European post-volcanic field reconstructions yields a more mixed picture. Finally, a rigorous experimental evaluation of the efficacy of climate field reconstruction (CFR) methods is presented, derived from the western North American temperature reconstructions. This evaluation compares the fidelity of CFRs based on real proxy predictors to those obtained by using non-informative predictors. The non-informative proxies are designed to have the same autocorrelation structure as the real proxy data, but contain no climatic information. Large ensembles of reconstructions are generated in both cases, providing estimated Monte Carlo distributions of reconstruction skill. The skill metric distributions of the real proxy-based CFRs indicate good reconstruction quality and clearly (and almost entirely) separate from the poor skill distributions generated using the non-informative proxies, in contrast to a recent similar study that suggests proxy-based reconstructions have little efficacy, but which did not evaluate CFR methods.

Globally continuous measurements of sediment fluxes are scarce and numerical models are often limited, providing small or point scale predictions only. WBMsed is a spatially and temporally explicit global riverine model predicting suspended and bedload sediment fluxes based on the WBMplus water balance and transport model (part of the FrAMES biogeochemical modeling framework). The model incorporates climate input forcings to calculate surface and subsurface runoff for each grid cell. The prediction of fluvial sediment fluxes is highly dependent on how well its transport medium, riverine water, is simulated. Analyses indicate that average water discharges are well predicted by the WBMplus model. However, daily freshwater predictions are often over or under predicted by up to an order of magnitude, significantly affecting the accuracy of sediment flux simulation capabilities of WBMsed. Therefore, WBMsed v.2.0 incorporates a floodplain reservoir component that improves high temporal resolution water discharge simulations. Here we will present the model, discuss its prediction capabilities and limitations and highlight potential applications for the broader earth-sciences community including coupling with other models.

The ACC began to develop in the middle Eocene through a shallow Drake Passage, with deepwater flow likely established by 29 Ma (Livermore et al. 2004). Rapid deepening of the Tasman gateway occurred in the late Eocene to early Oligocene). The timing of the earliest impact of the (proto-) ACC on global circulation and climate has been debated for decades. Here, we present new middle to late Eocene ( nearly equal 36-40 Ma) benthic foraminiferal stable isotopic (delta 18O, delta 13C) records and %CaCO3 data from ODP Site 1090 that extend published late Eocene-early Oligocene records (Pusz et al. 2011). Comparisons with published isotopic records (Cramer et al. 2009) highlight the development of a significant carbon isotopic (delta 13C) offset between Site 1090 (values nearly equal 0.7ppm lower) and other sites from nearly equal 37.5 to 34 Ma, reminiscent of similar low delta 13C values in this region during the Plio-Pleistocene (Hodell & Venz-Curtis, 2006). The low delta 13C interval coincides with elevated opaline silica deposition at Site 1090 (Diekmann et al. 2004), and with the development of small, but significant, meridional delta 18O gradients within the deep Atlantic basin. We interpret these observations as indicative of enhanced primary production at the northern edge of the polar front accompanied by increased thermal differentiation of northern- and sourthern-sourced deepwaters. These records are consistent with model predictions for the effects of proto-ACC development in the late Eocene (Heinze and Crowley, 1997; Toggweiler and Bjornsson, 2000).

Using frozen network experiments and pseudoproxy validation, the reconstruction is found skillful back to 1150 C.E., with inevitable amplitude reduction before 1500 C.E. due to the paucity of proxy predictors. Despite this caveat, wavelet coherency analysis reveals a marked anticorrelation between solar forcing (as estimated from cosmogenic isotope concentrations; Bard et al., 2007; Steinhilber et al., 2009) and the reconstructed NINO3.4 in the nearly equal sim205-year spectral range (DeVries cycle). The phase angle between both signals is $156 per mil 33 (super ) in this range, indicating that periods of high solar irradiance coincide with cool conditions in the NINO3.4 region, with time lag of $14 per mil 19 years. We find this result robust to the reconstruction method, estimate of solar forcing, or analysis method used to estimate the phasing. We then discuss the implication of this result for the response of tropical Pacific climate to radiative forcing. While the anti-phasing seems to favor the 'ocean dynamical thermostat' hypothesis of Clement et al [1996], this feedback appears subdued in most IPCC-class coupled general circulation models (CGCMs), where it is almost completely compensated by changes in the Pacific trade winds, linked to changes in the vertical structures of atmospheric moisture and temperature (Knutson & Manabe 1995; Held & Soden 2006; Vecchi et al. 2006). If the reconstruction is correct that past NINO3.4 SSTs have varied out of phase with solar irradiance on bicentennial scales, this would pose a new challenge both for CGCM simulations and for our understanding of the equatorial Pacific response to radiative forcing References: Clement, A.

A proto-ACC began to develop in the late middle Eocene ( nearly equal 40Ma) with shallow flow through the Drake Passage. Rapid deepening of the Tasman gateway (late Eocene to early Oligocene), and more gradual deepening of the Drake Passage through the Oligocene allowed the ACC to deepen and strengthen. The impact of the ACC on ocean circulation at its early stages of development has been debated for decades. New benthic foraminiferal delta 18O and delta 13C records from Atlantic DSDP/ODP Sites 366, 1053, and 1090, with comparisons to ASP-5 (Katz et al. 2011) and isotope compilations (Cramer et al. 2009), show that increased thermal differentiation of northern- and sourthern-sourced deepwaters began following the Middle Eocene Climate Optimum (MECO) and increased through the late Eocene. Published assemblage data from multiple microfossil groups show that major biotic changes in the surface and deep ocean began at this time. In the late Eocene, delta 13C records and published opaline silica data indicate enhanced primary productivity at the northern edge of the polar front, consistent with model predictions for the effects of proto-ACC development in the late Eocene. In the early Oligocene, a large delta 13C offset developed between mid-depth ( nearly equal 600m) and deep (>1000m) western North Atlantic waters, indicating development of intermediate-depth delta 13C and O2 minima linked in the modern ocean to northward incursion of Antarctic Intermediate Water. At the same time, the ocean's coldest waters became increasingly restricted to south of the ACC, likely forming a bottom-ocean layer, as in the modern ocean. This indicates that the modern four-layer ocean structure (surface, intermediate, deep, bottom) developed by the early Oligocene as a consequence of the ACC. We conclude that the (proto-)ACC impacted global ocean circulation by the beginning of the late Eocene, with increasing influence through the Oligocene. The timing of the oceanographic changes implies that the development of the ACC likely influenced the climate transition to continent-scale Antarctic glaciation.

The tropical atmospheric overturning circulation strengthens in all models in a manner that is dictated by the response of the hydrological cycle to tropical cooling. This response arises from the same mechanism that has been found to explain the weakening of the tropical circulation in response to anthropogenic global warming, but with opposite sign. Analysis of the model differences shows that the ascending branch of the Walker circulation strengthens via this mechanism, but vertical motion also weakens over areas of the Maritime Continent exposed due to lower sea level. Each model exhibits a different balance between these two mechanisms, and the result is a Pacific Walker circulation response that is not robust. Further, even those models that simulate a stronger Walker circulation during the LGM do not simulate clear patterns of surface cooling, such as La Nina-like cooling or enhanced equatorial cooling, as proposed by previous studies. In contrast, the changes in the Walker circulation have a robust and distinctive signature on the tilt of the equatorial thermocline, as expected from zonal momentum balance. The changes in the Walker circulation also have a clear signature on the spatial pattern of the precipitation changes. A reduction of the east-west salinity contrast in the Indian Ocean is related to the precipitation changes resulting from a weakening of the Indian Walker circulation. These results indicate that proxies of thermocline depth and sea surface salinity can be used to detect actual LGM changes in the Pacific and Indian Walker circulations, respectively and help constrain the sensitivity of the Walker circulation to tropical cooling.

The Juneau Icefield (4261 km (super 2) ) lost about 340 km (super 2) of glacier surface area between 1948 and 2009. We investigate the effect of future climate change on glacier melt and runoff of four basins in the Juneau Icefield. Glacierized areas within these basins range from 6 to 122 km (super 2) , and together comprise 5% of the total Juneau Icefield surface area. 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. Future scenarios RCP6.0 CCSM4 simulations are downscaled to 5-10 km resolution over the study area with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Results are analyzed with respect to changes in glacier runoff seasonality, peak flow and annual runoff.

Knowing which segments of the population are predisposed to mail back a form is essential to develop methods to maximize census participation and to plan for and monitor areas of nonresponse. In this article, we describe a geographic segmentation of survey and census response focused on the underlying constructs behind census tracts with historically low mail response rates. We perform a cluster analysis based on twelve demographic, housing, and socioeconomic variables used to calculate a "hard-to-count" score. This yielded eight mutually exclusive geographic clusters of the population that varied across the spectrum of mailback propensities. Each segment is distinguished by unique demographic, housing, and socioeconomic characteristics and several segments are closely aligned to three different hard-to-count profiles. To gauge how the segments performed in terms of recent mail response behavior, we examine several outcome measures with data from the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey collected in 2009 and 2010. To conclude, we discuss the usefulness of extending this geographic segmentation model beyond the census to targeted experiments and other applications in demographic surveys.

Notwithstanding the difficulty in modeling frozen soil moisture interactions in discontinuous permafrost basins and simulating the inputs of moisture into the soil profile via snow melt; hydro-climatologic data sets in the high latitudes are often short, discontinuous, and require rigorous validation to ensure data quality prior to their use in forcing models. This work presents results from the first phase of a broader modeling project in the Chena River basin, a 6500 km (super 2) watershed located in interior Alaska near the town of Fairbanks. This basin has been the stage of several costly and damaging flood events that led to development of flood control structures by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The focus of the initial examination is on the relationships between basin aspect, permafrost, vegetation and climate (temperature, precipitation and snow pack) observed in historical records and satellite imagery. The goal of the work is to improve permafrost processing and snow cover observations within the River Forecast Center's hydrologic modeling framework (CHPS; SAC-SMA and SNOW17). The improved models will eventually be used to investigate changes in historical and future patterns of extreme hydro-climate events. North and south facing aspects are a distinct control on snow melt in this watershed, which is related to the regional hydro-climate via physiographic and vegetation controls. Identifying these relationships in the historical record provides important context for modeling future changes as projected by regional climate models, as future temperature and precipitation regimes and possible threshold responses in permafrost could shift these relationships and result in changes in extremes. These findings and the exploration intended for the broader project are anticipated to be valuable for both engineers and forecasters who are interested in extreme hydro-climate impacts in this region of the north.

Reconstructions are collaborative, built on the research of hundreds of scientists who apply their diverse scientific expertise and field and laboratory skill to create the individual proxy reconstructions that underlie the multi-proxy, global average temperature time series. Web 2.0 features have enabled collaborative efforts that improve the characterization of uncertainty. Raw data shared via a repository (the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology) enable new reconstructions from the collection of user-generated data. Standards propagated by expert communities facilitate quality control and interoperability. Open access to data and computer code promote transparency and make the science accessible to a broader audience. Blogs, wikis, and listservs share background information and highlight contentious as well as unique aspects of paleo science. A novel approach now underway, titled the Paleoclimate Reconstruction Challenge, and based on the sharing of simulated data (pseudo-proxies) and reconstruction results, seeks to facilitate method development, further reducing uncertainty. Broadly-useful aspects of the Challenge may find application in other fields.

The measurements were modelled using a constrained box-model based upon the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM). The agreement between modelled and measured HO sub(2)+RO sub(2) was typically within 40% and, in the unpolluted regions, within 30%. The analysis of the model results suggests that the MCM might underestimate the concentrations of some acyl peroxy radicals and other small peroxy radicals. The model underestimated the measurements of NO sub(3) by 60-70%, possibly because of rapid heterogeneous uptake of N sub(2)O sub(5). The MCM model results were used to estimate the composition of the peroxy radical pool and to quantify the role of DMS, isoprene and alkenes in the formation of RO sub(2) in the different regions. The measurements of HO sub(2)+RO sub(2) and NO sub(3) were also used to calculate the gas-phase budget of NO sub(3) and quantify the importance of organic peroxy radicals as NO sub(3) sinks. RO sub(2) accounted, on average, for 12-28% of the total gas-phase NO sub(3) losses in the unpolluted regions and for 1-2% of the total gas-phase NO sub(3) losses in the polluted regions.

Aerosols have important consequences for global climate, ecosystem processes and human health due to their various sizes and chemical compositions. In this paper, nearly 23 years of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) data from operational satellite AVHRR observations over the global ocean have been used to study the latitudinal variations of the linear long-term trends (LLT) of zonal mean AOT. For the LLT of zonally averaged AOT over the global ocean, their significance generally falls below the 95% confidence level. However, the LLT of zonal mean AOT for the individual oceans, such as the Atlantic Ocean (AO), Indian Ocean (IO), and West Pacific Ocean (WPO), can easily pass 95% confidence level in some latitude belts (e.g. 5-25?N for IO, 33-40?N for WPO, 30-50?N for AO) and may produce zonally averaged solar dimming/brightening accordingly in cloudless conditions. The results will help us to understand the latitudinal features of the decadal changes in aerosol loadings, as well as surface solar radiation, better. Published in 2011 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Geologic mapping of the 1998 lava flows has been carried out with a combination of visual observations from multiple submersible dives since 1998, and with high-resolution bathymetry, most recently collected with the MBARI mapping AUV (the D. Allan B.) since 2007. The new mapping results revise and update the previous preliminary flow outlines, areas, and volumes. The high-resolution bathymetry (1-m grid cell size) allows eruptive fissures fine-scale morphologic features to be resolved with new and remarkable clarity. The morphology of both lava flows can be interpreted as a consequence of a specific sequence of events during their emplacement. The northern sheet flow is long (4.6 km) and narrow (500 m), and erupted in the SE part of Axial caldera, where it temporarily ponded and inflated on relatively flat terrain before draining out southward toward steeper slopes. The inflation and drain-out of this sheet flow by approximately 3.5 m over 2.5 hours was previously documented by a monitoring instrument that was caught in the lava flow. Our geologic mapping shows that the morphology of the northern sheet flow varies along its length primarily due to gradients in the underlying slope and processes active during flow emplacement. The original morphology of the sheet flow where it ponded is lobate, with pillows near the margins, whereas the central axis of drain-out and collapse is floored with lineated, ropy, and jumbled lava morphologies. The southern lava flow, in contrast, is mostly pillow lava where it cascaded down the steep slope on the east flank of the south rift zone, but also has a major area of collapse where lava ponded temporarily near the rift axis. These results show that submarine lava flows have more subsurface hydraulic connectivity than has previously been supposed. For example, a common morphologic feature at the downslope ends of the 1998 lava flows (and on many older flows at Axial) is large lobes covered with pillows that are 200-500-m in diameter, 10-20-m thick, and are capped with centered, dendritic collapse areas 5-10 m deep. These large lobes show clear evidence of inflation and drain-out, and are often arranged in a shingle-like fashion, implying progressive emplacement at decreasing distance from the eruptive vent with time. Such features are impossible to discern from visual observations alone and are only revealed by high-resolution bathymetry.

This activity reflects widening of the S. Mariana Trough. Stretching formed 3 southeast-facing, broad rifts extending from the trench to an extinct arc volcano chain ( approximately 80km from the trench axis) that is mostly composed of outcrops and fragments of pillow lavas partially covered by sediments. The 3 rifts comprise the S.E. Mariana Forearc Rift (SEMFR) and are 50-56km long and 3600 to 8200m deep, with axial valleys that narrow near the extinct arc. We studied the SEMFR using one Shinkai 6500 dive in 2008 and two Shinkai 6500 dives and 7 deep-tows in 2010. Near the trench, the SEMFR flanks are very steep and dominated by talus slopes of lava, fine-grained gabbro, diabase and peridotite, sometimes covered by thin volcaniclastic sediments. Few outcrops of pillow lavas, lava flows and volcaniclastics are observed, strongly suggesting that SEMFR morphology is dominated by faulting and landsliding. Lava outcrops are smoother and better preserved towards the extinct arc, suggesting that magmatic activity dominates that part of the rift. (super 40) Ar- (super 39) Ar ages of 3 SEMFR lavas are 3.0-3.7 Ma, so post-magmatic rifting is younger than approximately 3Ma. SEMFR pillow lavas are vesicular and microporphyritic with crystallite-rich glassy rinds, indicating they erupted underwater at near-liquidus conditions. In contrast, the lava flows are more crystallized and less vesicular. SEMFR lavas exhibit similar ranges in mineral composition with 2 kinds of plagioclase (An>80% and An or =80% and Mg#90 and Fo<90), suggesting magma mixing. Gabbroic rocks are slightly altered and have olivine and clinopyroxene compositions similar to those of the lavas, but contain less anorthitic plagioclase with a wider range in composition (An20-70) than the lavas. One sample of the extinct arc lava is vesicular and aphyric, consistent with near-liquidus eruption conditions. SEMFR lavas are low-K calk-alkaline basalts to andesites, whereas lava from the extinct arc is tholeiitic basaltic andesite similar to those erupted from the Malaguana-Gadao Ridge. These lavas are enriched in LILE and depleted in HFSE, consistent with subduction zone settings. Their similar Yb-normalized trace element patterns (Pearce et al., 2005), with different enrichment in LILE, suggest that SEMFR lavas were produced from a relatively homogenous mantle source that interacted with different proportions of subduction-derived components. Only SEMFR lavas sampled near the extinct arc exhibit different petrographic and geochemical features (higher abundances in olivine and clinopyroxene, lower HREE patterns, lower Nb/Yb and higher Ba/Th), indicating that a more depleted mantle source interacted with a greater subduction input.

The site was chosen for detailed study after a water column survey using a towed CTD package identified intense particle plumes rising up to 250m above seafloor along the entire segment (see abstracts by Baker et al. and Holden et al., this meeting). The segment is characterized by ridge-and-valley terrain with the most recent neovolcanic ridge extending, respectively, 25 km west and 20 km east of a central low-relief area that is quasi-circular, approximately 2 km radius, less than 30 m high. The neovolcanic ridge, revealed by the EM302 bathymetry to be a generally hummocky edifice less than 1 km wide and under approximately 40 m high, is cut by a very small axial graben barely resolved in the EM302 bathymetry. Two areas were surveyed during five ROV dives, four on the central area near 88 deg 18.5'W and one dive at 14 km east at 88 deg 10.8'W. A third high intensity plume target near the western extremity of the segment at 88 deg 27.2'W was not investigated using the ROV. The recent lobate and pillow lava flows were emplaced in narrow grabens along and adjacent to the neovolcanic ridge. In several places, the flow was observed to fill the axial graben. It is likely that the flow thickness ranges from meters to 10's of meters, depending upon the pre-eruption graben size and local effusion variations. However, no long, channel-fed lava flows were found. Flow boundaries based on preliminary ROV navigation average less than 100 meters across-axis. The lobate lavas all had a very similar glassy appearance and negligible sediment cover, making them easy to recognize amid the surrounding, older flows. The age of these lavas appeared visually younger than the youngest lavas observed near Rosebud vent field, which were erupted between 1990 and 2002. Diffuse venting characterized by high microbial productivity and mobile vent fauna on the young lavas were found at both sites and indicate a youthful hydrothermal system associated with a diking event similar to those characterized on the East Pacific Rise and Juan de Fuca Ridge during the past two decades (also see abstract by Shank et al., this meeting). Thus, the known extent of this eruption is at least 14 km along axis. If the third site to the west is also shown to be characterized by young lavas the diking event would be approximately 30 km in total length making it the longest submarine diking event documented to date and showing that single diking events can relieve stress over entire an segment on the GSC. This latest serendipitous discovery of a probable major seafloor spreading event emphasizes the need for a better monitoring system along eastern Pacific spreading centers to "catch" these events in real-time and provide context for follow-up in situ studies.

Such operations, relying upon real-time video, data and telemetry-links between the surface support ship and the ROV at the seabed, provide a subset of the opportunities available from HOV-based science to a much wider pool of scientific expertise, in real-time, than any (practically) imaginable deep-diving HOV could support. Now, the vision of the NOAA Ocean Exploration program presents the opportunity to take a further step by transmitting live, via satellite, from the ocean floor to shore-based expedition command centers (ECC) that interested scientists can populate without even having to go to sea. In this cruise we will report on the latest results from an Ocean Exploration cruise to the Mid-Cayman Rise (MCR) conducted in August 2010 using a combination of multibeam mapping, CTD-rosette hydrocasts equipped with in situ sensors, shipboard dissolved methane analyses and detailed seafloor investigation using the Little Herc ROV. Our prime objective is to explore off-axis away from the previously-investigated rift-valley floor and focus, instead, on the oceanic core complexes that appear to dominate construction of the rift valley walls along much of the MCR. As well as our geologic exploration we also plan to investigate the benthic biology of the areas we visit including, importantly, any novel hydrothermal systems that the shallow off-axis portions of the MCR may host.

The affected species include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and two species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The amendment would establish ACLs to prevent overfishing and AMs such as specification of an annual catch target (ACT), in-season regulations changes, post-season regulation changes, and specification of other management measures (e.g., bag limits). This final EIS analyzes 31 actions, including: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; ACTs to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for black grouper, mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin-wahoo and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternatives include: removal of 13 species from the snapper-grouper FMP; development of species groups for remaining species in the snapper-grouper FMP based on life history, catch statistics, and fishery-independent data; establishment of ABCs for dolphin and wahoo at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively; and establishment of an ABC for golden crab at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000-pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. Additional management measures would set a recreational bag limit of one wreckfish per vessel per day; set the closed season for the recreational sector from January 1 through June 30, and September 1 through December 31 each year; prohibit recreational bag limit sales of dolphin from for hire vessels; and establish a minimum size limit for dolphin of 20 inches for South Carolina. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing limits and targets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase. Future AMs are expected to generate adverse indirect economic effects on fishery participants. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

Hydrocarbons are detected using flame ionization detection, and inert species can be detected by thermal conductivity. The present apparatus has been utilized to measure diffusion coefficients at substantially higher temperatures than previous RF-GC work. Characterization of the new apparatus was accomplished by comparing measured binary diffusion coefficients of dilute argon in helium to established reference values. Further diffusion coefficient measurements for dilute helium in argon and dilute nitrogen in helium (using thermal conductivity detection) and dilute methane in helium (using flame ionization detection) were performed and found to be in excellent agreement with literature values. The measurement of these well-established diffusion coefficients has shown that specific experimental conditions are required for accurate diffusion measurements using this technique, particularly at higher temperatures. Numerical simulations of the diffusion experiments are presented to demonstrate that artifacts of the analysis procedure must be specifically identified to ensure accuracy, particularly at higher temperatures.

[Part 11 of 11] T2 - OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM: 2012-2017, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND BEAUFORT SEA, CHUKCHI SEA, AND COOK INLET, ALASKA. AN - 917565476; 15139-2_0011 AB - PURPOSE: Fifteen oil and gas lease sales in six Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and offshore Alaska during the period 2012-2017 are proposed. 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. Scheduled in the Alaska Region would be one sale with two whaling deferrals in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area, one sale with a 25-mile buffer in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area, and one special interest sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. 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 programmatic draft 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 draft 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 best 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance of the seafloor would result in moderate impacts to benthic habitats and invertebrates. Routine operations could result in minor to moderate, 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.

[Part 4 of 11] T2 - OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM: 2012-2017, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND BEAUFORT SEA, CHUKCHI SEA, AND COOK INLET, ALASKA. AN - 917565198; 15139-2_0004 AB - PURPOSE: Fifteen oil and gas lease sales in six Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and offshore Alaska during the period 2012-2017 are proposed. 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. Scheduled in the Alaska Region would be one sale with two whaling deferrals in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area, one sale with a 25-mile buffer in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area, and one special interest sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. 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 programmatic draft 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 draft 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 best 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance of the seafloor would result in moderate impacts to benthic habitats and invertebrates. Routine operations could result in minor to moderate, 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.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - REEF FISH AMENDMENT 32: GAG REBUILDING PLAN, ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS, MANAGEMENT MEASURES; RED GROUPER ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS, MANAGEMENT MEASURES; GROUPER ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES, GULF OF MEXICO. AN - 917565150; 15134-7_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment 32 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan to set new annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for managing gag grouper, red grouper, and shallow-water grouper stocks in the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. Gag and red grouper are the two most abundant grouper species in the Gulf of Mexico and account for the bulk of the recreational and commercial grouper landings. Currently, commercial harvest of grouper is managed under an individual fishing quota (IFQ) system. Management of the recreational sector has used traditional measures such as minimum size limits, aggregate and species-specific bag limits, and a closed season. Both sectors are subject to area closures. Amendment 32 establishes annual catch limits and annual catch targets for 2012 to 2015 for gag and for 2012 for red grouper. Additional actions include: rebuilding plans for the gag stock; establishing or modifying recreational bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons for gag and red grouper in 2012; applying commercial gag and shallow-water grouper quota adjustments to account for dead discards; adjusting multi-use shares (allocation) in the grouper IFQ program; reducing the commercial gag size limit; establishing time and area closures; and modifying current gag, red grouper, and shallow-water grouper AMs. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for each of the seven actions addressed in this final EIS. The preferred alternatives would: establish a plan to rebuild the gag stock to a level consistent with producing maximum sustainable yield in 10 years or less; set the recreational gag season for July 1 through October 31 with a two fish bag limit, a four fish aggregate bag limit, and a 22 inch minimum size limit; increase the red grouper bag limit to four fish per person; reduce the commercial gag quota to 86 percent of the annual catch target; reduce the commercial gag minimum size limit from 24 inches to 22 inches; use the IFQ program already in place as the AM for the commercial sector; and add an overage adjustment to be applied when gag or red grouper are considered overfished and AMs to close a season early if needed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would decrease or end overfishing of gag and would allow the optimum yield of red grouper to continue to be caught as the stock recovers from a 2005 episodic mortality event, most likely associated with red tide. The rebuilding plan for gag and constraints on red grouper harvests would ultimately restore and maintain the stocks at a level that will allow the maximum benefits in yield and recreational fishing opportunities to be achieved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term negative socioeconomic impacts could occur due to the need to limit directed harvest and reduce bycatch mortality. Between 2012 and 2015, the present value of losses expected to result from commercial quota reductions for gag grouper are estimated at $472,167.

[Part 10 of 11] T2 - OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM: 2012-2017, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND BEAUFORT SEA, CHUKCHI SEA, AND COOK INLET, ALASKA. AN - 917564668; 15139-2_0010 AB - PURPOSE: Fifteen oil and gas lease sales in six Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and offshore Alaska during the period 2012-2017 are proposed. 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. Scheduled in the Alaska Region would be one sale with two whaling deferrals in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area, one sale with a 25-mile buffer in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area, and one special interest sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. 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 programmatic draft 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 draft 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 best 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance of the seafloor would result in moderate impacts to benthic habitats and invertebrates. Routine operations could result in minor to moderate, 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.

[Part 5 of 11] T2 - OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OIL AND GAS LEASING PROGRAM: 2012-2017, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND BEAUFORT SEA, CHUKCHI SEA, AND COOK INLET, ALASKA. AN - 917564663; 15139-2_0005 AB - PURPOSE: Fifteen oil and gas lease sales in six Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and offshore Alaska during the period 2012-2017 are proposed. 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. Scheduled in the Alaska Region would be one sale with two whaling deferrals in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area, one sale with a 25-mile buffer in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area, and one special interest sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. 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 programmatic draft 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 draft 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 best 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disturbance of the seafloor would result in moderate impacts to benthic habitats and invertebrates. Routine operations could result in minor to moderate, 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.

Preparation date: November 11, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2012-01-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REEF FISH AMENDMENT 32: GAG REBUILDING PLAN, ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS, MANAGEMENT MEASURES; RED GROUPER ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS, MANAGEMENT MEASURES; GROUPER ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES, GULF OF MEXICO. AN - 916143371; 15134 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment 32 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan to set new annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for managing gag grouper, red grouper, and shallow-water grouper stocks in the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. Gag and red grouper are the two most abundant grouper species in the Gulf of Mexico and account for the bulk of the recreational and commercial grouper landings. Currently, commercial harvest of grouper is managed under an individual fishing quota (IFQ) system. Management of the recreational sector has used traditional measures such as minimum size limits, aggregate and species-specific bag limits, and a closed season. Both sectors are subject to area closures. Amendment 32 establishes annual catch limits and annual catch targets for 2012 to 2015 for gag and for 2012 for red grouper. Additional actions include: rebuilding plans for the gag stock; establishing or modifying recreational bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons for gag and red grouper in 2012; applying commercial gag and shallow-water grouper quota adjustments to account for dead discards; adjusting multi-use shares (allocation) in the grouper IFQ program; reducing the commercial gag size limit; establishing time and area closures; and modifying current gag, red grouper, and shallow-water grouper AMs. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for each of the seven actions addressed in this final EIS. The preferred alternatives would: establish a plan to rebuild the gag stock to a level consistent with producing maximum sustainable yield in 10 years or less; set the recreational gag season for July 1 through October 31 with a two fish bag limit, a four fish aggregate bag limit, and a 22 inch minimum size limit; increase the red grouper bag limit to four fish per person; reduce the commercial gag quota to 86 percent of the annual catch target; reduce the commercial gag minimum size limit from 24 inches to 22 inches; use the IFQ program already in place as the AM for the commercial sector; and add an overage adjustment to be applied when gag or red grouper are considered overfished and AMs to close a season early if needed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would decrease or end overfishing of gag and would allow the optimum yield of red grouper to continue to be caught as the stock recovers from a 2005 episodic mortality event, most likely associated with red tide. The rebuilding plan for gag and constraints on red grouper harvests would ultimately restore and maintain the stocks at a level that will allow the maximum benefits in yield and recreational fishing opportunities to be achieved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Short-term negative socioeconomic impacts could occur due to the need to limit directed harvest and reduce bycatch mortality. Between 2012 and 2015, the present value of losses expected to result from commercial quota reductions for gag grouper are estimated at $472,167. Losses would affect primarily Florida Gulf Coast communities. More restrictive management measures may require increased enforcement and administrative burden.

AN - 917563304; 15127-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The 2011 Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to the Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the Reef Fish, Spiny Lobster, Queen Conch resources, and Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates in the U.S. Caribbean, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is proposed. Specifically, Amendment 6 to the Reef Fish FMP, Amendment 5 to the FMP for the spiny lobster fishery, Amendment 3 to the FMP for the queen conch resources, and Amendment 3 to the FMP for corals and reef associated plants and invertebrates would bring those fisheries into compliance with the 2007 revisions to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). The alternatives analyzed in this final EIS would: establish ACLs for species where the rate of removal is not too high, and put AMs into place to protect the fish stocks in both the commercial and recreational sectors; initiate the transfer of all aquarium trade species included in the Coral and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates and the Reef Fish FMPs into a new FMP dedicated to aquarium trade species; with the exception of queen conch, remove from federal management all species previously included in the Queen Conch Resources FMP; and establish boundaries for purposes of applying AMs in federal waters. Recreational fishing bag limits would be established as follows: for the reef fish species mentioned above, a bag limit of five fish per person per day, with no more than one surgeonfish per person per day within the aggregate; a vessel limit of fifteen fish per day, including no more than four surgeonfish per vessel per day; and for spiny lobster, a bag limit of three spiny lobsters per person per day with a vessel limit of ten spiny lobsters per day. The amendment establishes separate ACLs for each of the commercial and recreational sectors in the federal waters of Puerto Rico, establishes framework provisions for the Spiny Lobster FMP, and modifies framework provisions for the Coral and Reef Associated Invertebrates FMP. Additionally, guidelines for triggering accountability measures and for applying those measures are provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Comprehensive ACL Amendment would promote the sustainability of the U.S. Caribbean fisheries resources by improving targets and thresholds of reef fish, spiny lobster, conch resources, and coral and plants and associated invertebrates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Potential adverse impacts due to a shortened federal fishing season and lower landings would create additional stresses for relatively small commercial fishing operations and the fishing communities of Puerto Rico and the USVI. With the least amount of fishable habitat in territorial waters, it is expected that St. Thomas/St. John fishers would be least able to mitigate for lost landings. More conservative ACL values would trigger management review and action more frequently and thus is more administratively burdensome.

Rate coefficients for the OH + CH sub(3)COCHO (k sub(1)) reaction were measured under pseudo-first-order conditions in OH as a function of temperature (211-373 K) and pressure (100-220 Torr, He and N sub(2) bath gases) using pulsed laser photolysis to produce OH radicals and laser induced fluorescence to measure its temporal profile. k sub(1) was found to be independent of the bath gas pressure with k sub(1)(295 K) = (1.29 +/- 0.13) 10 super(-11) cm super(3) molecule super(-1) s super(-1) and a temperature dependence that is well represented by the Arrhenius expression k sub(1)(T) = (1.74 +/- 0.20) 10 super(-12) exp[(590 +/- 40)/T] cm super(3) molecule super(-1) s super(-1) where the uncertainties are 2 sigma and include estimated systematic errors. Rate coefficients for the NO sub(3) + (CHO) sub(2) (k sub(3)) and NO sub(3) + CH sub(3)COCHO (k sub(4)) reactions were measured using a relative rate technique to be k sub(3)(296 K) = (4.0 +/- 1.0) 10 super(-16) cm super(3) molecule super(-1) s super(-1) and k sub(4)(296 K) = (5.1 +/- 2.1) 10 super(-16) cm super(3) molecule super(-1) s super(-1). k sub(3)(T) was also measured using an absolute rate coefficient method under pseudo-first-order conditions at 296 and 353 K to be (4.2 +/- 0.8) 10 super(-16) and (7.9 +/- 3.6) 10 super(-16) cm super(3) molecule super(-1) s super(-1), respectively, in agreement with the relative rate result obtained at room temperature. The atmospheric implications of the OH and NO sub(3) reaction rate coefficients measured in this work are discussed.

The SAIPE program produces poverty estimates for the total population and median household income estimates annually for all counties and states. SAIPE data also produces single-year poverty estimates for the school-age population (age 5-17) for all school districts in the U.S. The main objective of the SAIPE program is to provide timely, reliable estimates of income and poverty statistics for the administration of federal programs and the allocation of federal funds to local jurisdictions. Some state and local programs also use SAIPE income and poverty estimates to distribute funds and manage programs. Due to the comprehensive geographic coverage and one-year focus, SAIPE data can be used to analyze geographic variation in poverty and income, as well as changes over time. The purpose of this document is to highlight several key aspects of such analysis. Appended are: (1) Census Regions and Divisions in the United States; (2) Counties by Metro/Micro Area Status; (3) Supplemental Information for School Districts; and (4) Counties Published in the 2009 ACS 1-Year Estimates.

Offshore fish of the Beaufort Sea have not been surveyed since 1977 and no synchronous measures of fish distribution and the oceanographic characteristics of their habitat have been made previously. A survey was conducted during August 2008 in the western Beaufort Sea, Alaska. The distribution and abundance of benthic fish and invertebrates were assessed with standard bottom trawl survey methods. Oceanographic data were collected at each trawl station and at several locations between stations. The dominant benthic taxa, Polar cod (Boreogadus saida), eelpouts (Lycodes sp.), and snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) were associated with cold (33) water found offshore of the shelf break, derived from the Chukchi Sea. These waters are expected to be high in secondary productivity, such that we hypothesize that the distribution of fish and crab was driven by conditions favorable for successful foraging. Predictions of the impacts of climate change require an understanding of the mechanisms linking the distribution and abundance of marine organisms to their oceanographic habitat. Our study documents the association of dominant benthic fish and invertebrates of the Beaufort Sea with specific water mass types and is thus a step toward this understanding.

Three shipboard surveys were conducted (February 2005-2007), and an echosounder was used to measure the distribution and abundance of krill while simultaneously conducting visual surveys to map seabird and marine mammals. Using a multispecies approach, we test the hypothesis that spatial organization of krill and top predators co-vary according to fine-scale changes in bathymetry in the nearshore marine environment. GAMs are used to examine the effect of sea depth, slope and distance to isobaths on the spatial distribution and abundance of krill and predators. Spatial distribution patterns of krill and predators relate to fine-scale (1-10 km) changes in bathymetry and exhibit cross-shelf gradients in abundance. Krill were concentrated along the shelf-break and abundant within both submarine canyons. Predators exhibited different preferences for locations within the submarine canyon system that relates to their foraging behavior. Penguins concentrated closer to shore and within the head of the east submarine canyon immediately adjacent to a breeding colony. Whales were also concentrated over the head of the east canyon (overlapping with penguins), whereas albatrosses and fur seals were concentrated in the west canyon. Fur seals also showed preference for steep slopes and were concentrated along the shelf-break. Petrels exhibited peaks in abundance throughout both submarine canyons. Owing to their orientation, size and proximity to the coastline, submarine canyons provide important habitat heterogeneity for krill and a variety of predators. This study highlights the multispecies approach for studying spatial ecology of top predators and krill and has implications for marine spatial management of the Scotia Sea.

Coral-poor and coral-rich areas were surveyed at sites with both low (Hawaii Island) and high (Midway Atoll) predator densities, facilitating examination of relations among predator and recruit densities, habitat, and group metrics. Predator and recruit densities varied spatially and temporally, with a sixfold range in total recruit densities among years. Group ( greater than or equal to 2 recruits) metrics varied with time and tracked predator and recruit densities and the proportion of schooling species. Groups often included heterospecifics whose proportion increased with group size. A non-saturating relationship between group size and recruit density suggests that the anti-predator benefits of aggregation exceeded competitive costs.

This paper describes the retrofits and the results of the pre- and post-retrofit assessment of building airtightness, ventilation, and energy use. Building envelope and air distribution systems airtightness were measured using fan pressurization. Air change rates were measured continuously using the tracer gas decay technique. Energy consumption associated with heating and cooling was monitored through measurement of gas consumption by the forced-air furnace for heating and electricity use by the air-conditioning system for cooling. The results of the study show that the retrofits reduced building envelope leakage by about 18% and duct leakage by about 80%. The reduction in the house infiltration rates depended on weather conditions and the manner in which the heating and cooling system was controlled, but in general these rates were reduced by about one third. The energy consumption of the house for heating and cooling was reduced by only about 10%, which is relatively small but not totally unexpected given that infiltration only accounts for a portion of the heating and cooling load.

In the US Atlantic, the smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) has declined to 1-5% of its abundance in the 1900s, and its core distribution has contracted to southwest Florida. We used 8 polymorphic microsatellite markers to show that this remnant population still exhibits high genetic diversity in terms of average allelic richness (18.23), average alleles per locus (18.75, standard deviation [SD] 6.6) and observed heterozygosity (0.43-0.98). Inbreeding is rare (mean individual internal relatedness = -0.02, SD 0.14; F sub(IS) = -0.011, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.039 to 0.011), even though the estimated effective population size (N sub(e)) is modest (250-350, 95% CI = 142-955). Simulations suggest that the remnant smalltooth sawfish population will probably retain >90% of its current genetic diversity over the next century even at the lower estimate of N sub(e). There is no evidence of a genetic bottleneck accompanying last century's demographic bottleneck, and we discuss hypotheses that could explain this. We also discuss features of elasmobranch life history and population biology that could make them less vulnerable than other large marine vertebrates to genetic change associated with reduced population size.

After years of continuous low-level eruptive activity, a major landslide occurred at NW Rota-1 in August 2009, triggered by an unusually large eruption that produced 10 times the acoustic energy of the background level of activity. An anomalous earthquake swarm preceded the eruption, suggesting that the sequence started with a magmatic intrusion and associated faulting beneath the volcano. We quantify the size and extent of the landslide using bathymetric resurveys and interpret the timing of events using data from an in situ hydrophone. This is the first instrumental documentation of an earthquake-eruption-landslide sequence at a submarine volcano, and illustrates the close interaction between magmatic activity and mass wasting events in the growth of undersea arc volcanoes.

However, little is known about whether an advance supplemental brochure will have a similar effect. The research documented in this article serves two purposes: First, this exploratory study uses qualitative data from cognitive interviews conducted with five language groups to understand why a multilingual brochure inserted with an English advance letter might or might not enhance survey participation among non-English-speaking respondents.

The fate of these organic phosphorus compounds in the environment is not well studied. This study presents the first investigation on the sorption of phosphorus (P) in the presence of two model phosphonate compounds, 2-aminothylphosphonoic acid (2-AEP) and phosphonoformic acid (PFA), on marine carbonate sediments. In contrast to other organic P compounds, no significant inorganic phosphate exchange was observed in seawater. P was found to adsorb on the sediment only in the presence of PFA, not 2-AEP. This indicated that sorption of P from phosphonate on marine sediment was compound specific. Compared with inorganic phosphate sorption on the same sediments, P sorption from organic phosphorus is much less in the marine environment. Further study is needed to understand the potential role of the organophosphonate compounds in biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus in the environment.

Part I: Theory and integral formulae AN - 902373050; 15883432 AB - The non-uniqueness of solution and compatibility between the coupled boundary conditions in computing velocity potential and streamfunction from horizontal velocity in a limited domain of arbitrary shape are revisited theoretically with rigorous mathematic treatments. Classic integral formulas and their variants are used to formulate solutions for the coupled problems. In the absence of data holes, the total solution is the sum of two integral solutions. One is the internally induced solution produced purely and uniquely by the domain internal divergence and vorticity, and its two components (velocity potential and streamfunction) can be constructed by applying Green's function for Poisson equation in unbounded domain to the divergence and vorticity inside the domain. The other is the externally induced solution produced purely but non-uniquely by the domain external divergence and vorticity, and the non-uniqueness is caused by the harmonic nature of the solution and the unknown divergence and vorticity distributions outside the domain. By setting either the velocity potential (or streamfunction) component to zero, the other component of the externally induced solution can be expressed by the imaginary (or real) part of the Cauchy integral constructed using the coupled boundary conditions and solvability conditions that exclude the internally induced solution. The streamfunction (or velocity potential) for the externally induced solution can also be expressed by the boundary integral of a double-layer (or single-layer) density function. In the presence of data holes, the total solution includes a data-hole-induced solution in addition to the above internally and externally induced solutions.

The coupling of two facilities has begun to unravel this difficult problem. The NIST Firebrand Generator (NIST Dragon) is an experimental device that can generate a firebrand shower in a safe and repeatable fashion. Since wind plays a critical role in the spread of WUI fires in the USA and urban fires in Japan, NIST has established collaboration with the Building Research Institute (BRI) in Japan. BRI maintains one of the only full scale wind tunnel facilities in the world designed specifically for fire experimentation; the Fire Research Wind Tunnel Facility (FRWTF). The present investigation is aimed at extensively quantifying firebrand penetration through building vents using full scale tests. A structure was placed inside the FRWTF and firebrand showers were directed at the structure using the NIST Dragon. The structure was fitted with a generic building vent, consisting of only a frame fitted with a metal mesh. Six different mesh sizes openings were used for testing. Behind the mesh, four different materials were placed to ascertain whether the firebrands that were able to penetrate the building mesh assembly could ignite these materials. Reduced scale test methods afford the capability to test new vent technologies and may serve as the basis for new standard testing methodologies. As a result, a new experimental facility developed at NIST is presented and is known as the NIST Dragon's LAIR (Lofting and Ignition Research). The NIST Dragon's LAIR has been developed to simulate a wind driven firebrand attack at reduced scale. The facility consists of a reduced scale Firebrand Generator (Baby Dragon) coupled to a bench scale wind tunnel. Finally, a series of full scale experiments were conducted to visualize the flow of firebrands around obstacles placed downstream of the NIST Dragon. Firebrands were observed to accumulate in front of these obstacles at a stagnation plane, as was observed when the structure was used for firebrand penetration through building vent experiments, due to flow recirculation. The accumulation of firebrands at a stagnation plane presents a severe threat to ignitable materials placed near structures.

A concern for fisheries management agencies is the recovery of these benthic invertebrates from removal or mortality from bottom trawling and other commercial fisheries activities. Using a logistic model, observations of available substrate and data from bottom trawl surveys of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, we estimated recovery rates of sponges and corals following removal. The model predicted the observed sponge and coral catch in bottom trawl surveys relatively accurately (R2=0.38 and 0.46). For sponges, the results show that intrinsic growth rates were slow (r=0.107yr-1). Results show that intrinsic growth rates of corals were also slow (r=0.062yr-1). The best models for corals and sponges were models that did not include the impacts of commercial fishing removals. Subsequent recovery times for both taxa were also predicted to be slow. Mortality of 67% of the initial sponge biomass would recover to 80% of the original biomass after 20 years, while mortality of 67% of the coral biomass would recover to 80% of the original biomass after 34 years. The modeled recovery times were consistent with previous studies in estimating that recovery times were of the order of decades, however improved data from directed studies would no doubt improve parameter estimates and reduce the uncertainty in the model results. Given their role as a major ecosystem component and potential habitat for marine fish, damage and removal of sponges and corals must be considered when estimating the impacts of commercial bottom trawling on the seafloor.

Over the past three decades, numerous monk seal translocations have been conducted with a variety of objectives, including mitigating shark predation and conspecific male aggression, reducing human-seal interactions, and taking advantage of favorable foraging habitats to improve survival. Here, we analyze our cumulative experience with translocation of Hawaiian monk seals. We found a strong correlation between the time seals remained in the vicinity of the release site and their age. Recently weaned pups (with little or no at-sea foraging experience) exhibited high fidelity to release sites commensurate with that shown by untranslocated pups to their birth location. In contrast, juvenile and adult seals tended to stray from their release locations farther and sooner. Nevertheless, when 21 adult male seals were moved more than 1000km from Laysan Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), to the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), they subsequently dispersed among the MHI; however, only one was observed to return to the NWHI. Translocated seals appeared to survive at rates comparable to seals native to the release site. Outcomes suggest that in most cases the intended objectives of translocations were achieved. Except for one notable case, translocations within the MHI to arrest human-seal interactions were mostly unsuccessful.

The first one assumes that emissions could occur from any land-use grid cell defined in the model as desert. The second emission approach uses an empirically derived algorithm based on satellite observations. To investigate the dust storm features and verify the model performance, a global dataset of Integrated Surface Hourly (ISH) observations has been analyzed to map the spatial distribution and seasonal variation of sand and dust storms. Furthermore, the PM10 concentration data at four stations in Northern China and two stations in Southern Spain, and the AOD data from a station located at the center of the Sahara Desert have been compared with the model results. The spatial distribution of observed dust storm frequency from ISH shows the known high frequency areas located in North Africa, the Middle East, Mongolia and Northwestern China. Some sand and dust storms have also been observed in Australia, Mexico, Argentina, and other sites in South America. Most of the dust events in East Asia occur in the spring, however this seasonal feature is not so evident in other dust source regions. In general, the model reproduces the dust storm frequency for most of the regions for the two emission approaches. Also, a good quantitative performance is achieved at the ground stations in Southern Spain and Western China when using the desert land-use based emissions, although HYSPLIT overestimates the dust concentration at downwind areas of East Asia and underestimates the column in the center of the Saharan Desert. On the other hand, the satellite based emission approach improves the dust forecast performance in the Sahara, but underestimates the dust concentrations in East Asia.

We report on a study of the realities facing a highly female-dominated job, that of waiter in low-end chain restaurants. Through interviews with managers at 16 sites of two international restaurant chains located in Seattle, Washington and Chicago, Illinois, we examined how the gender and family caregiver compositions of waiter workforces intersect with private employers' practices related to waiter wages, fringe benefits, and staffing and scheduling and preferred job qualifications, on the one hand; and with mandated minimum wage regulations, on the other. Male waiters were most heavily concentrated in the chain with more generous benefits and input into scheduling, while the largest proportions of women were found in the chain offering few or no benefits and little scheduling control. Sites with the most waiter-caregivers came from both chains but were mostly in Seattle, aligning with a US state policy context assuring a higher minimum wage. Paralleling those findings, we observed that managers in especially male-heavy settings stressed intellectual and experience qualifications for waiter positions, while within more female and dependent caregiver employing sites they prioritized factors such as personality and 'good hygiene.'

We analyzed daytrips only. Our estimates from the models ranged from $32 to $142/trip/household or about $131 to $582/season/household (2008$). The variation was due to differences in the value of time. The average household size was 1.66. We found that the valuation results were sensitive to the inclusion of covariates in the model. Our results are useful for damage assessments and benefit-cost analyses where birdwatching is affected. Adapted from the source document.

Efforts to establish tsunami warning systems to protect life and property began in the Pacific after the 1946 Aleutian Islands tsunami caused casualties in Hawaii. Seismic and sea level data were used by a central control center to evaluate tsunamigenic potential and then issue alerts and warnings. The ensuing events of 1952, 1957, and 1960 tested the new system, which continued to expand and evolve from a United States system to an international system in 1965. The Tsunami Warning System in the Pacific (ITSU) steadily improved through the decades as more stations became available in real and near-real time through better communications technology and greater bandwidth. New analysis techniques, coupled with more data of higher quality, resulted in better detection, greater solution accuracy, and more reliable warnings, but limitations still exist in constraining the source and in accurately predicting propagation of the wave from source to shore. Tsunami event data collected over the last two decades through international tsunami science surveys have led to more realistic models for source generation and inundation, and within the warning centers, real-time tsunami wave forecasting will become a reality in the near future. The tsunami warning system is an international cooperative effort amongst countries supported by global and national monitoring networks and dedicated tsunami warning centers; the research community has contributed to the system by advancing and improving its analysis tools. Lessons learned from the earliest tsunamis provided the backbone for the present system, but despite 45 years of experience, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami reminded us that tsunamis strike and kill everywhere, not just in the Pacific. Today, a global intergovernmental tsunami warning system is coordinated under the United Nations. This paper reviews historical tsunamis, their warning activities, and their sea level records to highlight lessons learned with the focus on how these insights have helped to drive further development of tsunami warning systems and their tsunami warning centers. While the international systems do well for teletsunamis, faster detection, more accurate evaluations, and widespread timely alerts are still the goals, and challenges still remain to achieving early warning against the more frequent and destructive local tsunamis.

ComMIT is designed for ease of use, and allows dissemination of results to the community while addressing concerns associated with proprietary issues of bathymetry and topography. It uses initial conditions from a precomputed propagation database, has an easy-to-interpret graphical interface, and requires only portable hardware. ComMIT was initially developed for Indian Ocean countries with support from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). To date, more than 60 scientists from 17 countries in the Indian Ocean have been trained and are using it in operational inundation mapping.

Sounds included echolocation clicks and burst pulses. Echolocation clicks were grouped into three categories, a 15 kHz click (n=106), a 25 kHz click (n=136), and a 25 kHz pulse with a frequency-modulated upsweep (n=70). The 15 and 25 kHz clicks were relatively short (181 and 144 ms, respectively); the longer 25 kHz upswept pulse was 288 ms. Burst pulses were long (0.5 s) click trains with approximately 240 clicks/s.

The influence of various material properties (thickness, thermal conductivity, specific heat, absorption of infrared radiation, heat of reaction) on mass loss history is assessed, via their effect on the ignition time, average MLR, peak MLR, and time to peak. The two codes predict the influence of material parameters on the MLR in the order of decreasing importance: heat of reaction, thickness, specific heat, absorption coefficient, thermal conductivity, and activation energy of the polymer decomposition. Changes in the material properties also influence the MLR curves by switching the sample from thermally thick to thermally thin. The two numerical codes are generally in very good agreement for their predictions of the MLR vs time curves, except when in-depth absorption of radiation was important.

The earthquake generated a tsunami that propagated across the Tasman Sea and was detected in New Zealand, Australia and as far away as the US West coast. Small boats close to the epicenter were placed in jeopardy, but no significant damage was observed despite a measured run-up height of 2.3 m in one of the Sounds in close proximity to the source (Wilson in GNS Science Report 46:62 2009). Peak-to-trough tsunami heights of 55 cm were measured at Southport, Tasmania and a height of 1 m was measured in Jackson Bay, New Zealand. The International Tsunami Symposium provided an ideal venue for illustration of the value of immediate real-time assessment and provided an opportunity to further validate the real time forecasting capabilities with the scientific community in attendance. A number of agencies with responsibility for tsunami forecast and/or warning, such as the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, GNS Science in New Zealand, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the European Commission Joint Research Centre were all represented at the meeting and were able to demonstrate the use of state of the art numerical models to assess the tsunami potential and provide warning as appropriate.

These maps represent an improvement over previous efforts, as they are based on the most recent descriptions of potential tsunami sources, apply recently updated numerical modeling techniques, and cover previously unmapped regions of the State. Since the maps are based on deterministic rather than probabilistic modeling, they are only intended for emergency preparedness and evacuation planning and are not to be used in engineering siting studies. The California maps cover a greater coastal area than any other US State. To be helpful, the maps need to be integrated into a consistent statewide hazard-planning framework. Indeed, tsunami preparedness in California was tested on several occasions over the past 5 years, i.e., during the 14 June 2005 event, about 90 miles SW of Crescent City, the 15 November 2006 Kuril Islands, and the 27 February 2010 Chile earthquake. We discuss briefly the State's response as these events unfolded.

We propose that observations of such cracking can be used as a diagnostic tool for predicting bite force and inferring tooth function in living and fossil mammals. Laboratory tests on model tooth structures and extracted human teeth in simulated biting identify the principal fracture modes in enamel. Examination of museum specimens reveals the presence of similar fractures in a wide range of vertebrates, suggesting that cracks extended during ingestion or mastication. The use of "fracture mechanics" from materials engineering provides elegant relations for quantifying critical bite forces in terms of characteristic tooth size and enamel thickness. The role of enamel microstructure in determining how cracks initiate and propagate within the enamel (and beyond) is discussed. The picture emerges of teeth as damage-tolerant structures, full of internal weaknesses and defects and yet able to contain the expansion of seemingly precarious cracks and fissures within the enamel shell. How the findings impact on dietary pressures forms an undercurrent of the study.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GENERIC ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS/ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES AMENDMENT FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCILS RED DRUM, REEF FISH, SHRIMP, CORAL AND CORAL REEFS, FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS. AN - 916687935; 15119-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The specification of mechanisms to set acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACLs), annual catch targets (ACTs), and accountability measures (AMs) for four fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. Specifically, this generic EIS would amend the Reef Fish Resources, Red Drum, Shrimp, and Coral and Coral Reefs Fishery Management Plans (FMPs). There are fifty stocks in the Gulf of Mexico FMPs that are subject to action in this amendment. Four stocks are currently listed as overfished and undergoing overfishing: gag, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, and red snapper. Ten stocks are classified as not undergoing overfishing, but overfished status is unknown or undefined (red drum, goliath grouper, Nassau grouper, royal red shrimp, stone crabs, and five classifications of corals). Five stocks are also classified as neither undergoing overfishing nor overfished (black grouper, mutton snapper, red grouper, vermilion snapper, and yellowtail snapper). In addition, a recently completed assessment on yellowedge grouper concluded that this stock is neither overfished not undergoing overfishing. For the remaining 30 stocks, classifications have not been determined, either because there is no stock assessment, or because the assessment was inconclusive. Long-term measures proposed in this final EIS include: 1) transfer management of selected species to state or federal agencies; 2) remove selected stocks from the Reef Fish FMP; 3) develop species groupings to reduce the risk of exceeding catch limits; 4) describe the process by which ABC will be specified to account for scientific uncertainty; 5) develop initial specification of ACLs procedures to address for management uncertainty; 6) develop standardized framework procedures for implementing management changes pursuant to the provisions of the FMP; 7) establish ACLs and/or annual catch targets (ACTs) for species that do not currently have harvest quotas; and 8) establish AMs for each of the catch frameworks. Preferred alternatives include: transfer of responsibility for Nassau grouper to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (FMC); removal of species that have average annual landings of 15,000 pounds or less with certain exceptions; transfer of responsibility for octocorals to the South Atlantic FMC; and species groupings for stocks that share common habitat and are caught with the same gear, in the same area, and at the same time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The specification of overfishing limits, ACLs, and AMs would comply with the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements. Implementation is expected to prevent overfishing and achieve optimum yield while minimizing to the extent practicable adverse social and economic effects. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions could reduce the harvest of species in the Reef Fish Resources, Shrimp, and Coral and Coral Reefs FMPs resulting in adverse socioeconomic effects to vulnerable fishing communities along the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. Management measures could increase administrative burden. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 2 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE QUEEN CONCH FISHERY AND AMENDMENT 5 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE REEF FISH FISHERY, PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. AN - 916687156; 15120-3_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for reef fish and queen conch in the U.S. Caribbean to bring those fisheries into compliance with the 2007 revisions to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) is proposed. Caribbean queen conch, parrotfish, and several species within the Caribbean snapper and grouper families are currently classified as subject to overfishing. Six actions included in the amendment are analyzed in this final EIS. Action 1 would amend the grouper and snapper stock complexes in the reef fish fishery management unit (FMU). Action 2 would revise management reference points to transition U.S. Caribbean reef fish and queen conch management from that established in the Comprehensive Sustainable Fisheries Amendment (SFA) of 2005 to that mandated by the MSA. Action 3 would work in concert with Action 2 and would provide the specific details regarding the distribution and numerical value of annual catch limits (ACLs) for the various island groups, including Puerto Rico, St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), and the island group of St. Thomas and St. John in the USVI. Action 4 would implement management measures with specific emphasis on harvest prohibitions for three parrotfish species (midnight, blue, and rainbow) and would impose recreational bag limits for reef fish. Action 5 would implement guidelines for triggering accountability measures (AMs) and for applying those AMs. Finally, Action 6 would establish framework provisions separately for reef fish and queen conch. Sub-actions included in Action 1 would address the grouper complex with regard to misty, yellowedge, and black grouper, and creole fish, and the snapper complex with regard to the cardinal snapper and wenchman species. For Actions 2 and 3, the preferred alternative would redefine management reference points or proxies for the snapper, grouper, and parrotfish complexes based on the longest time series of pre-Comprehensive SFA catch data that is considered to be reliable across all islands and define geographic boundaries between each island group. Division and management of ACLs by island group would be based on the preferred reference point time series using an equidistant method for dividing the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) among islands. Preferred alternatives for Action 4 would establish an overall aggregate bag limit that allows a fisher a total of 10 fish per day including not more than two parrotfish and a vessel limit of not more than 30 fish per day of which no more than six can be parrotfish. Fishing for or possessing midnight parrotfish, blue parrotfish, and rainbow parrotfish would be prohibited in the EEZ. For Action 5, preferred alternatives would provide for AMs to be triggered if the ACL is exceeded based on a single year of landings, the average of the two most recent years of landings, or an average of the three most recent years of landings. Alternatives for amending the framework procedures for the reef fish and queen conch FMPs would provide a mechanism to expeditiously adjust the reference points and management measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In concert, the proposed actions would provide a basic foundation for place-based reef fish and queen conch fisheries management in the U.S. Caribbean. Allocation management is expected to result in better distribution of harvest among island groups and decreased likelihood of area-specific overharvest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Available USVI landings data do not allow for effective management of snapper at the unit level in USVI. Race for quota could still occur within the commercial and recreational sectors and could lead to overcapitalization of fishing assets. More restrictive catch levels would result in greater administrative burden due to more frequent incidents of overharvest necessitating increased frequency of management actions.

Preparation date: October 28, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2012-01-19 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMENDMENT 2 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE QUEEN CONCH FISHERY AND AMENDMENT 5 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE REEF FISH FISHERY, PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. AN - 913430205; 15120 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for reef fish and queen conch in the U.S. Caribbean to bring those fisheries into compliance with the 2007 revisions to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) is proposed. Caribbean queen conch, parrotfish, and several species within the Caribbean snapper and grouper families are currently classified as subject to overfishing. Six actions included in the amendment are analyzed in this final EIS. Action 1 would amend the grouper and snapper stock complexes in the reef fish fishery management unit (FMU). Action 2 would revise management reference points to transition U.S. Caribbean reef fish and queen conch management from that established in the Comprehensive Sustainable Fisheries Amendment (SFA) of 2005 to that mandated by the MSA. Action 3 would work in concert with Action 2 and would provide the specific details regarding the distribution and numerical value of annual catch limits (ACLs) for the various island groups, including Puerto Rico, St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), and the island group of St. Thomas and St. John in the USVI. Action 4 would implement management measures with specific emphasis on harvest prohibitions for three parrotfish species (midnight, blue, and rainbow) and would impose recreational bag limits for reef fish. Action 5 would implement guidelines for triggering accountability measures (AMs) and for applying those AMs. Finally, Action 6 would establish framework provisions separately for reef fish and queen conch. Sub-actions included in Action 1 would address the grouper complex with regard to misty, yellowedge, and black grouper, and creole fish, and the snapper complex with regard to the cardinal snapper and wenchman species. For Actions 2 and 3, the preferred alternative would redefine management reference points or proxies for the snapper, grouper, and parrotfish complexes based on the longest time series of pre-Comprehensive SFA catch data that is considered to be reliable across all islands and define geographic boundaries between each island group. Division and management of ACLs by island group would be based on the preferred reference point time series using an equidistant method for dividing the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) among islands. Preferred alternatives for Action 4 would establish an overall aggregate bag limit that allows a fisher a total of 10 fish per day including not more than two parrotfish and a vessel limit of not more than 30 fish per day of which no more than six can be parrotfish. Fishing for or possessing midnight parrotfish, blue parrotfish, and rainbow parrotfish would be prohibited in the EEZ. For Action 5, preferred alternatives would provide for AMs to be triggered if the ACL is exceeded based on a single year of landings, the average of the two most recent years of landings, or an average of the three most recent years of landings. Alternatives for amending the framework procedures for the reef fish and queen conch FMPs would provide a mechanism to expeditiously adjust the reference points and management measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In concert, the proposed actions would provide a basic foundation for place-based reef fish and queen conch fisheries management in the U.S. Caribbean. Allocation management is expected to result in better distribution of harvest among island groups and decreased likelihood of area-specific overharvest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Available USVI landings data do not allow for effective management of snapper at the unit level in USVI. Race for quota could still occur within the commercial and recreational sectors and could lead to overcapitalization of fishing assets. More restrictive catch levels would result in greater administrative burden due to more frequent incidents of overharvest necessitating increased frequency of management actions. The aggregate bag limit for snapper, grouper, and parrotfish would have adverse socioeconomic effects for recreational and subsistence fishermen.

AN - 913430204; 15119 AB - PURPOSE: The specification of mechanisms to set acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACLs), annual catch targets (ACTs), and accountability measures (AMs) for four fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. Specifically, this generic EIS would amend the Reef Fish Resources, Red Drum, Shrimp, and Coral and Coral Reefs Fishery Management Plans (FMPs). There are fifty stocks in the Gulf of Mexico FMPs that are subject to action in this amendment. Four stocks are currently listed as overfished and undergoing overfishing: gag, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, and red snapper. Ten stocks are classified as not undergoing overfishing, but overfished status is unknown or undefined (red drum, goliath grouper, Nassau grouper, royal red shrimp, stone crabs, and five classifications of corals). Five stocks are also classified as neither undergoing overfishing nor overfished (black grouper, mutton snapper, red grouper, vermilion snapper, and yellowtail snapper). In addition, a recently completed assessment on yellowedge grouper concluded that this stock is neither overfished not undergoing overfishing. For the remaining 30 stocks, classifications have not been determined, either because there is no stock assessment, or because the assessment was inconclusive. Long-term measures proposed in this final EIS include: 1) transfer management of selected species to state or federal agencies; 2) remove selected stocks from the Reef Fish FMP; 3) develop species groupings to reduce the risk of exceeding catch limits; 4) describe the process by which ABC will be specified to account for scientific uncertainty; 5) develop initial specification of ACLs procedures to address for management uncertainty; 6) develop standardized framework procedures for implementing management changes pursuant to the provisions of the FMP; 7) establish ACLs and/or annual catch targets (ACTs) for species that do not currently have harvest quotas; and 8) establish AMs for each of the catch frameworks. Preferred alternatives include: transfer of responsibility for Nassau grouper to the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (FMC); removal of species that have average annual landings of 15,000 pounds or less with certain exceptions; transfer of responsibility for octocorals to the South Atlantic FMC; and species groupings for stocks that share common habitat and are caught with the same gear, in the same area, and at the same time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The specification of overfishing limits, ACLs, and AMs would comply with the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements. Implementation is expected to prevent overfishing and achieve optimum yield while minimizing to the extent practicable adverse social and economic effects. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions could reduce the harvest of species in the Reef Fish Resources, Shrimp, and Coral and Coral Reefs FMPs resulting in adverse socioeconomic effects to vulnerable fishing communities along the coasts of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. Management measures could increase administrative burden. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

In the absence of cross section data, assumed or parameterized cross section shapes are often used. The effects of parameterized cross sections are evaluated in this study by developing a modeling framework that externally couples a spatially distributed hydrologic model, HL-RDHM, with a one-dimensional unsteady hydraulic model, HEC-RAS. The evaluation emphasizes the effects of parameterized cross sections on simulated flows by focusing the analysis on the portion of the basin's main stream reach where detailed cross section data and observed streamflows (at both ends of the reach) are available, and by developing and testing three cross section scenarios. The scenarios are designed to increase sequentially, in a stepwise fashion, the complexity of the parameterized cross section, starting with a single roughness parameter and channel power law cross section shape and then including additional power law or roughness parameters. This is done stepwise to help distinguish the effects associated with each parameterization, and decide the required level of cross section detail. The scenario simulations are evaluated using split sampling, changes in measures of performance and hydrograph agreement, hypothesis tests on Nash-Sutcliffe values, and overall predictive uncertainty. The coupling framework is applied to the Blue and Illinois River basins, in Oklahoma, US. Overall, we found that in these basins the coupling tends to improve predictions when dynamic wave routing and floodplain cross section geometry are considered concurrently. For this scenario, we found that on average typical measures of model performance may be improved and, based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment, uncertainty may be reduced. We also found that dynamic wave routing does not tend to perform better than kinematic wave routing for the most basic scenarios with a single power law cross section shape. Further, results indicate that the distributed hydrologic model performance at the main outlet and at the upstream boundary of the hydraulic model, and the relative contribution of lateral inflows, are key factors that need to be considered when deciding the applicability of the coupled framework to other basins. In the future, to effectively use resources, it will be beneficial to automate the coupling and accompany its application with a priori criteria for selecting those basins where benefits are most likely.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - FAGATELE BAY NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY MANAGEMENT PLAN, AMERICAN SAMOA. AN - 912099719; 15111-4_0001 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. The American Samoa territory is composed of five volcanic islands and two small remote coral atolls. 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. Fagatele 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 and surrounding environs. This draft 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. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3B) would incorporate five additional units including the Larsen Bay unit located along the southern coast of Tutuila, Aunuu Island located just off the southeastern shore of Tutuila, and Tau Island, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island. The Samoan name for Rose Atoll is Muliava and is the proposed name for this unit. The Muliava unit consists solely of federal waters, but would not include the land or the 1,600 acres of reef habitat of 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, with the majority of this expansion (99 percent) from the designation of the marine areas of the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. The name of the FBNMS would be changed to the American Samoa National Marine Sanctuary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would chart the course for FBNMS over the next five to 10 years. Alternatives 2, 3, and 4 would provide more protection for marine resources, additional protection for cultural resources, and new opportunities for research through both increasing the total size of the sanctuary and proposing additional regulations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some adverse impacts to fisheries would result from use restrictions within the sanctuary units. Land-based operations including agricultural activities, piggery operations, utility discharge, and construction may experience impacts if they cause pollutants to enter sanctuary waters that violate the discharge prohibition. Adverse economic impacts, specifically the loss of revenue due to fishery restrictions, are expected to be small due to the diminishing level of nearshore fisheries and the small size of reef area that is closed to all fishing.

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. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3B) would incorporate five additional units including the Larsen Bay unit located along the southern coast of Tutuila, Aunuu Island located just off the southeastern shore of Tutuila, and Tau Island, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island. The Samoan name for Rose Atoll is Muliava and is the proposed name for this unit. The Muliava unit consists solely of federal waters, but would not include the land or the 1,600 acres of reef habitat of 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, with the majority of this expansion (99 percent) from the designation of the marine areas of the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. The name of the FBNMS would be changed to the American Samoa National Marine Sanctuary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would chart the course for FBNMS over the next five to 10 years. Alternatives 2, 3, and 4 would provide more protection for marine resources, additional protection for cultural resources, and new opportunities for research through both increasing the total size of the sanctuary and proposing additional regulations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some adverse impacts to fisheries would result from use restrictions within the sanctuary units. Land-based operations including agricultural activities, piggery operations, utility discharge, and construction may experience impacts if they cause pollutants to enter sanctuary waters that violate the discharge prohibition. Adverse economic impacts, specifically the loss of revenue due to fishery restrictions, are expected to be small due to the diminishing level of nearshore fisheries and the small size of reef area that is closed to all fishing.

Several flights of NOAA and NCAR research aircraft were dedicated to characterizing anthropogenic emissions over Houston. We present results from an inverse modeling technique that uses three atmospheric transport models and these aircraft observations to assess and improve existing emission inventories. We used inverse modeling techniques to improve the spatial and temporal emissions' distribution of CO, NOy, and SO2 predicted by the 4 km resolution U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emission Inventory (NEI) for 2005. Differences between the prior and posterior inventories are discussed in detail. In September 2006, we found that the prior daytime CO emissions in the Houston urban area have to be reduced by 41% +/- 8%. Over the Houston Ship Channel, where industrial emissions are predominant, the prior emissions have to be decreased by 43% +/- 5% for CO and 51% +/- 5% for NOy. Prior NOy emissions from other major ports around Houston also have to be reduced, probably owing to uncertain nearshore ship emissions in the EPA NEI inventory. Using the measurements from the two field campaigns, we assessed the emissions' variability between August 2000 and September 2006. Daytime CO emissions from the Houston urban area have decreased by 8% +/- 3%, while the NOy emissions have increased by 20% +/- 6%. In the Houston Ship Channel, daytime NOy emissions have increased by 13% +/- 7%. Our results show qualitative consistencies with known changes in Houston emissions' sources.

16000951 AB - The bivalve Pacific geoduck (Panopea generosa) has been used in the eastern North Pacific Ocean to create proxies for environmental factors such as temperature and oceanographic conditions. This type of research depends upon accurate age determination of Pacific geoducks, which historically was based on shell growth-increment counts. A recent study comparing age estimates generated by the dendrochronology (tree-ring science) procedure of crossdating to those estimated from growth-increment counts found a significant difference between the methods for geoduck older than 30years. Compared to the traditional age determination method of counting growth increments, the crossdating method estimates a greater longevity in this species, with some individuals living in excess of 150years. In the present study, the accuracy of each method was independently assessed using bomb-produced radiocarbon (14C) techniques. Specimens whose birth years were estimated to be within the era of the bomb-produced marine 14C increase and where the differences between ages estimated by the two methods were greatest were selected for 14C analysis. The difference between age estimates from traditional growth-increment counts and those from crossdating was evaluated using their respective 14C chronologies in comparisons to a reference chronology as a standard. The comparisons relied on Bayesian nonlinear models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. This method of analysis showed that with a 50% probability geoducks were aged correctly when using the crossdating method, compared to the growth increment counts which had a 50% probability of underestimating the age by 4years. Therefore, the crossdated age estimates were found to be more accurate than increment counts. Furthermore, these results provide new confidence in using Pacific geoduck biochronologies for paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.

Establishment-level data from three Censuses of Manufactures are used to estimate 3-factor Cobb-Douglas production functions that include a measure of the stringency of environmental regulation faced by manufacturing plants. In contrast to previous studies, this paper examines effects on plants in all manufacturing industries, not just those in 'dirty' industries. Further, this paper employs spatial-temporal variation in environmental compliance costs to identify effects, using a time-varying county-level index that is based on multiple years of establishment-level data from the Pollution Abatement Costs and Expenditures survey and the Annual Survey of Manufactures. Results suggest that, for the average manufacturing plant, there is no statistically significant effect on productivity of being in a county with higher environmental compliance costs. For the average plant, the main effect of environmental regulation may not be in the spatial and temporal dimensions.

Using the proposed method, two sets of UNIFAC group-group interaction parameters for 52 main groups are produced based on published vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), excess enthalpies, and activity coefficients at infinite dilution critically evaluated on-demand with the NIST ThermoData Engine (TDE) software. The new regression analysis method includes the use of evaluated uncertainties in assessment of quality factors evaluated on the basis of consistency tests for VLE data. Validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are discussed.

Here we use observations from 1970-2010 (also extending back to 1950) and numerical model experiments to show that the Atlantic warm pool (AWP) - a large body of warm water comprised of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the western tropical North Atlantic - plays an important role in the hurricane track. An eastward expansion of the AWP shifts the hurricane genesis location eastward, decreasing the possibility for a hurricane to make landfall. A large AWP also induces barotropic stationary wave patterns that weaken the North Atlantic subtropical high and produce the eastward steering flow anomalies along the eastern seaboard of the United States. Due to these two mechanisms, hurricanes are steered toward the northeast without making landfall in the United States. Although the La Nina event in the Pacific may be associated with the increased number of Atlantic hurricanes, its relationship with landfalling activity has been offset in 2010 by the effect of the extremely large AWP.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - TRIDENT SUPPORT FACILITIES EXPLOSIVES HANDLING WHARF (EHW-2), NAVAL BASE KITSAP BANGOR, SILVERDALE, KITSAP COUNTY, WASHINGTON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2011). AN - 910376280; 15097-9_0003 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. The draft EIS of March 2011 evaluated 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), was identified as the preferred alternative. This draft supplement addresses the methodology used to assess the potential for injurious impacts to the marbled murrelet from impact pile driving; the construction and operation of four new facilities proposed to be built to replace the functions of five buildings to be demolished and the associated infrastructure; and compensatory mitigation options under consideration to offset unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources. 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 approximately 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 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 result in disturbance of 6.6 vegetated acres and loss of 0.18 acre of wetland. Construction would generate noise, turbidity, and air pollutant emissions. 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 (including tribal treaty-reserved resources), 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. Construction would alter the setting of the existing EHW, which is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: October 7, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-06 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Oceanic Diet and Distribution of Haplotypes for the Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, in the Central North Pacific AN - 954659806; 16387528 AB - A diet analysis was conducted on the gastrointestinal contents of 10 oceanic green turtles, Chelonia mydas, collected as bycatch mortalities in pelagic fisheries. Size distribution of the green turtles ranged from 30 to 70 cm curved carapace length (CCL). Prey items found indicated pelagic green turtles to be carnivorous with some omnivorous tendencies, foraging within the first 100 m of the water column. Most frequent identifiable prey items were Zooplankton, pelagic crustaceans, and mollusks (listed in order of frequency of occurrence, which ranged from 80% to 40% frequency): Pyrosoma spp., Lepas spp. (goose barnacles), amphipods, Carinaria spp. (sea snails), and Cavolinia spp. (sea butterflies). Other coelenterates such as salps, ctenophores, and cnidarians (jellyfish) were also identified. Plastics and anthropogenic debris were commonly found (70% frequency, mean = 4% of gastrointestinal content by volume). The turtles examined consisted of two distinct morphotypes corresponding to the central Pacific and the eastern Pacific green turtle populations. Genetic analysis confirmed turtles of the central Pacific morphotype to be of Hawaiian origin and at least one of the eastern Pacific morphotype turtles to have a mtDNA haplotype found in the population nesting in the Revillagigedo archipelago off Mexico. Other eastern Pacific morphotypical turtles had a different common Mexican haplotype found among the nesting populations throughout Mexico and the Galapagos. Turtles of the central Pacific morphotype were distributed north of the Hawaiian Islands, and turtles of the eastern Pacific morphotype were all encountered south of Hawai'i, suggesting a dichotomy in the oceanic distribution of these two populations. Our records of green turtles as large as 70 cm CCL in pelagic waters suggest that some green turtles, mainly those with eastern Pacific green turtle morphology and mtDNA haplotype, delay their recruitment to nearshore (neritic) habitats or move back and forth between neritic and open ocean waters as adults.

The CFSR represents a new generation of reanalysis effort with first guess from a coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice-land forecast system. This study focuses on the analysis of climate variability for a set of surface variables including precipitation, surface air 2-m temperature (T2m), and surface heat fluxes. None of these quantities are assimilated directly and thus an assessment of their variability provides an independent measure of the accuracy. The CFSR is compared with observational estimates and three previous reanalyses (the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis or R1, the NCEP/DOE reanalysis or R2, and the ERA40 produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). The CFSR has improved time-mean precipitation distribution over various regions compared to the three previous reanalyses, leading to a better representation of freshwater flux (evaporation minus precipitation). For interannual variability, the CFSR shows improved precipitation correlation with observations over the Indian Ocean, Maritime Continent, and western Pacific. The T2m of the CFSR is superior to R1 and R2 with more realistic interannual variability and long-term trend. On the other hand, the CFSR overestimates downward solar radiation flux over the tropical Western Hemisphere warm pool, consistent with a negative cloudiness bias and a positive sea surface temperature bias. Meanwhile, the evaporative latent heat flux in CFSR appears to be larger than other observational estimates over most of the globe. A few deficiencies in the long-term variations are identified in the CFSR. Firstly, dramatic changes are found around 1998-2001 in the global average of a number of variables, possibly related to the changes in the assimilated satellite observations. Secondly, the use of multiple streams for the CFSR induces spurious jumps in soil moisture between adjacent streams. Thirdly, there is an inconsistency in long-term sea ice extent variations over the Arctic regions between the CFSR and other observations with the CFSR showing smaller sea ice extent before 1997 and larger extent starting in 1997. These deficiencies may have impacts on the application of the CFSR for climate diagnoses and predictions. Relationships between surface heat fluxes and SST tendency and between SST and precipitation are analyzed and compared with observational estimates and other reanalyses. Global mean fields of surface heat and water fluxes together with radiation fluxes at the top of the atmosphere are documented and presented over the entire globe, and for the ocean and land separately.

We evaluated anthropogenic effects on spatial connections among populations of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead (O. mykiss) (designated as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act) in the lower Columbia and Willamette rivers. For several anthropogenic-effects scenarios, we used graph theory to characterize the spatial relation among populations. We plotted variance in population size against connectivity among populations. In our scenarios, reduced habitat quality decreased the size of populations and hydropower dams on rivers led to the extirpation of several populations, both of which decreased connectivity. Operation of fish hatcheries increased connectivity among populations and led to patchy or panmictic populations. On the basis of our results, we believe recolonization of the upper Cowlitz River by fall and spring Chinook and winter steelhead would best restore metapopulation structure to near-historical conditions. Extant populations that would best conserve connectivity would be those inhabiting the Molalla (spring Chinook), lower Cowlitz, or Clackamas (fall Chinook) rivers and the south Santiam (winter steelhead) and north fork Lewis rivers (summer steelhead). Populations in these rivers were putative sources; however, they were not always the most abundant or centrally located populations. This result would not have been obvious if we had not considered relations among populations in a metapopulation context. Our results suggest that dispersal rate strongly controls interactions among the populations that comprise salmon metapopulations. Thus, monitoring efforts could lead to understanding of the true rates at which wild and hatchery fish disperse. Our application of graph theory allowed us to visualize how metapopulation structure might respond to human activity. The method could be easily extended to evaluations of anthropogenic effects on other stream-dwelling populations and communities and could help prioritize among competing conservation measures.Original Abstract: Resumen:Para permanecer viables, las poblaciones deben ser resilientes a cambios ambientales tanto naturales como causados por humanos. Evaluamos los efectos antropogenicos sobre las conexiones espaciales entre poblaciones de salmon Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) y arco iris (O. mykiss) (designadas como amenazadas por el Acta de Especies en Peligro de E. U. A.) en la cuenca baja de los rios Columbia y Willamette. Para varios escenarios de efectos antropogenicos, utilizamos teoria de grafos para caracterizar la relacion espacial entre poblaciones. Graficamos la varianza en el tamano poblacional contra la conectividad entre poblaciones. En nuestros escenarios, la reduccion en la calidad del habitat disminuyo el tamano de las poblaciones y las presas hidroelectricas en los rios provocaron la extirpacion de varias poblaciones, lo cual redujo la conectividad. La operacion de criaderos de peces incremento la conectividad entre poblaciones y condujo a poblaciones heterogeneas o panmicticas. Con base en nuestros resultados, consideramos que la recolonizacion de la cuenca alta del Rio Cowlitz en otono y primavera, se podria restablecer la estructura metapoblacional de esas especies a condiciones cercanas a las historicas. Las poblaciones que podrian conservar la mejor conectividad serian las que habitan los rios Molalla (Chinook en primavera), bajo Cowlitz o Clackamas (Chinook en otono) y el Santiam (arco iris en invierno) y Lewis (arco iris en verano). Sin embargo, las poblaciones en estos rios fueron fuentes putativas, ya que no siempre fueron las mas abundantes o localizadas en el centro. Este resultado no habria sido obvio si no hubieramos considerado las relaciones entre las poblaciones en un contexto metapoblacional. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la tasa de dispersion controla las interacciones entre las poblaciones que componen las metapoblaciones de salmon. Por lo tanto, los esfuerzos de monitoreo podrian llevar al entendimiento de las tasas reales de dispersion de peces silvestres y criados. Nuestra aplicacion de la teoria de grafos nos permitio visualizar como puede responder la estructura metapoblacional a la actividad humana. El metodo podria se extendido facilmente a evaluaciones de efectos antropogenicos sobre otras poblaciones y comunidades que habitan en rios y podria ayudar a priorizar entre medidas de conservacion en competencia.

Our best estimate of abundance was 21,808 (CV = 0.04). We estimated the biases in this value using a simulation model. Births and deaths, which violate the assumption of a closed population, resulted in a bias of +5.2%, exclusion of calves in samples resulted in a bias of -10.5%, failure to achieve random geographic sampling resulted in a bias of -0.4%, and missed matches resulted in a bias of +9.3%. Known sex-biased sampling favoring males in breeding areas did not add significant bias if both sexes are proportionately sampled in the feeding areas. Our best estimate of abundance was 21,063 after accounting for a net bias of +3.5%. This estimate is likely to be lower than the true abundance due to two additional sources of bias: individual heterogeneity in the probability of being sampled (unquantified) and the likely existence of an unknown and unsampled breeding area (-8.7%). Results confirm that the overall humpback whale population in the North Pacific has continued to increase and is now greater than some prior estimates of prewhaling abundance.

Recent molecular studies (of mtDNA haplotypes and microsatellites) have shown the two populations to be genetically differentiated. This study investigated cranial osteological differentiation of the forms. The sample analyzed included 139 skulls from live captures, direct takes, fishery bycatch, and strandings; the skulls were assigned to form based on collection locality or mtDNA haplotype. The coastal form differs from the offshore form mainly in features associated with feeding: larger and fewer teeth, more robust rostrum, larger mandibular condyle, and larger temporal fossa. This suggests that it may feed on larger and tougher prey than the offshore form. Differences between the forms in other features of the skull may reflect differences in diving behavior and sound production. Approximately 86% of the stranded specimens were estimated to be of coastal origin; based on relative estimated sizes of the two populations and assuming similar mortality rates, this suggests that a coastal carcass is about 50 times more likely to beach than an offshore one. The morphological differences between the two ecotypes indicate evolutionary adaptation to different environments and emphasize the importance of conserving the relatively small coastal population and its habitat.

This manuscript describes a method that improves the prediction of cyanobacterial bloom transport with the use of a preoperational hydrodynamic model and high temporal resolution satellite imagery. Two scenarios were examined from separate cyanobacterial blooms in western Lake Erie, USA. The first scenario modeled bloom position and extent over the span of 13 days. A geographic center, or centroid, was calculated and assigned to the bloom from observed satellite imagery. The bloom centroid was projected forward in time, and the projected position was compared to the final observed bloom centroid. Image pixels flagged as cyanobacterial bloom were compared between the initial image and the final image, and this was assumed as persistence. The second bloom scenario was modeled for a period of 12 days, and the results were framed in an ecological context in an effort to gain further understanding of cyanobacterial bloom dynamics.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Dynamical Performance-Ranking Method for Predicting Individual Ensemble Member Performance and Its Application to Ensemble Averaging AN - 904497200; 15807510 AB - This study proposes a dynamical performance-ranking method (called the Du-Zhou ranking method) to predict the relative performance of individual ensemble members by assuming the ensemble mean is a good estimation of the truth. The results show that the method 1) generally works well, especially for shorter ranges such as a 1-day forecast; 2) has less error in predicting the extreme (best and worst) performers than the intermediate performers; 3) works better when the variation in performance among ensemble members is large; 4) works better when the model bias is small; 5) works better in a multimodel than in a single-model ensemble environment; and 6) works best when using the magnitude difference between a member and its ensemble mean as the "distance" measure in ranking members. The ensemble mean and median generally perform similarly to each other. This method was applied to a weighted ensemble average to see if it can improve the ensemble mean forecast over a commonly used, simple equally weighted ensemble averaging method. The results indicate that the weighted ensemble mean forecast has a smaller systematic error. This superiority of the weighted over the simple mean is especially true for smaller-sized ensembles, such as 5 and 11 members, but it decreases with the increase in ensemble size and almost vanishes when the ensemble size increases to 21 members. There is, however, little impact on the random error and the spatial patterns of ensemble mean forecasts. These results imply that it might be difficult to improve the ensemble mean by just weighting members when an ensemble reaches a certain size. However, it is found that the weighted averaging can reduce the total forecast error more when a raw ensemble-mean forecast itself is less accurate. It is also expected that the effectiveness of weighted averaging should be improved when the ensemble spread is improved or when the ranking method itself is improved, although such an improvement should not be expected to be too big (probably less than 10%, on average).

A large response in the precipitation rate anomaly is found over the eastern United States when MJO-related enhanced tropical convection is moving through the far western to central Pacific (conventionally known as phases 5, 6, and 7 of the MJO). Positive anomalies occur in the region of the eastern Mississippi River basin, and negative anomalies occur in the Southeast. The relative stability of this pattern throughout the three phases suggests that they can be considered together. During phases 5-7, the central United States has a daily precipitation rate between 110% and 150% of normal, while the precipitation rate over much of Florida is less than 70% of normal. Much of the lower Mississippi River basin region receives somewhat more frequent daily precipitation during MJO phases 5-7, but a greater increase is found in the daily precipitation intensity, suggesting more intense storms. On the other hand, Florida has substantially fewer daily precipitation events, with a smaller decrease in the intensity. To understand the atmospheric mechanisms related to the above shifts in daily precipitation, elements of the atmospheric circulation were examined. Positive moisture flux convergence anomalies, which have been linked to increased precipitation rate and intensity, are found in the region of increased precipitation rate during MJO phases 5-7. During those phases, the North American jet stream is shifted northward, likely leading to a higher incidence of storms over the lower Mississippi River basin and fewer storms over Florida. This is supported by the fact that the storm track also shows increased activity over the central United States during MJO phases 5-7.

They influence vertical mixing of energy, moisture and pollutants, cloud formation, and surface ozone destruction. Their climatic variability is related to that of sea ice and planetary albedo, important factors in climate feedback mechanisms. However, climatological polar SBI properties have not been fully characterized nor have climate model simulations of SBIs been compared comprehensively to observations. Using 20 years of twice-daily observations from 39 Arctic and 6 Antarctic radiosonde stations, this study examines the spatial and temporal variability of three SBI characteristic-frequency of occurrence, depth (from the surface to the inversion top), and intensity (temperature difference over the SBI depth)-and relationships among them. In both polar regions, SBIs are more frequent, deeper, and stronger in winter and autumn than in summer and spring. In the Arctic, these tendencies increase from the Norwegian Sea eastward toward the East Siberian Sea, associated both with (seasonal and diurnal) variations in solar elevation angle at the standard radiosonde observation times and with differences between continental and maritime climates. Two state-of-the-art climate models and one reanalysis dataset show similar seasonal patterns and spatial distributions of SBI properties as the radiosonde observations, but with biases in their magnitudes that differ among the models and that are smaller in winter and autumn than in spring and summer. SBI frequency, depth, and intensity are positively correlated, both spatially and temporally, and all three are anticorrelated with surface temperature.

We affixed archival temperature tags to gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) from two colonies in the South Shetland Islands to measure the frequency, timing, and duration of foraging trips and to estimate minimum food requirements during winter. Foraging trip frequencies ranged from 0.85 to 1.0 trips day super(-1) and were positively correlated with day length. Early winter foraging trips more closely matched day length than late winter foraging trips. The data suggest that individuals maximize foraging time during the early winter period, likely to recover body mass following the breeding season and molt. The more attenuated response of foraging trip durations to increasing day length in late winter may be related to differences in local resource availability or individual behaviors prior to the upcoming breeding season. Minimum food requirements also exhibited a seasonal cycle with a mid-winter minimum. On average, minimum food requirements were estimated at 0.70 +/- 0.12 kg day super(-1). Extrapolated to the regional population of gentoo penguins, winter food requirements by gentoo penguins were equivalent to roughly 33% of annual krill catches by commercial fisheries in the South Shetland Island region over the past decade. Current expansion of the gentoo population and the krill fishery in the southern Scotia Sea warrants continued monitoring of gentoo penguins during winter.

Datasets from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) 24 general circulation models (GCMs) are evaluated using TRMM PR rain products in terms of their ability to simulate convective and stratiform precipitation and their deficiencies. The results show that Asian monsoon convective and stratiform precipitation increases significantly after onset of the summer monsoon, but the percentage of convective precipitation clearly decreases over tropical areas while it increases in subtropical regions. The GCMs simulate well the seasonal variation in the contribution of Asian monsoon subtropical convective precipitation to the total rainfall; however, the simulated convective precipitation amount is high while the simulated stratiform precipitation amount is low relative to TRMM measurements, especially over the Asian monsoon tropical region. There is simultaneous TRMM-observed convective and stratiform precipitation in space and time, but GCMs cannot simulate this relationship between convective and stratiform precipitation, resulting in the deficiency of stratiform precipitation simulations.

The basis for this study was analysis of coastal chemical contaminant data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program and NOAA's National Weather Service storm track data. The tendency for contaminant (metals and organic compounds) body burdens to increase or decrease in oyster tissue after a storm was assessed using contingency and correspondence analyses. Post-storm contaminant levels in oysters revealed a consistent pattern of distribution, which could be described as follows: (1) most of the organic contaminants stay within their long-term concentration ranges, (2) very few organic contaminants decreased, and (3) metals overwhelmingly tend to increase.

AN - 893273051; 21786416 AB - Since the late 1990 s, monitoring efforts evaluating the effectiveness of urban stream restoration projects in the greater metropolitan area of Seattle, Washington, USA, have detected high rates of premature mortality among adult coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in restored spawning habitats. Affected animals display a consistent suite of symptoms (e.g., disorientation, lethargy, loss of equilibrium, gaping, fin splaying) that ultimately progresses to death on a timescale of a few hours. Annual rates of prespawn mortality observed over multiple years, across several drainages, have ranged from approximately 20% to 90% of the total fall run within a given watershed. Current weight-of-evidence suggests that coho prespawn mortality is caused by toxic urban stormwater runoff. To evaluate the potential consequences of current and future urbanization on wild coho salmon, we constructed life-history models to estimate the impacts of prespawn mortality on coho populations and metapopulations. At the low (20%) and high (90%) ends of the range of observed mortality, model results indicated the mean time to extinction of localized coho populations in 115 and 8 y, respectively. The presence of productive source populations (i.e., unaffected by prespawn mortality) within a metapopulation reduced local extinction risk. However, as more populations within a metapopulation become affected by spawner die-offs prior to spawning, the source population's productivity declined. These simple models demonstrate the potential for rapid losses from coho populations in urbanizing watersheds. Because the models do not account for possible impacts of toxic runoff to other coho life stages, they likely underestimate the cumulative impacts of nonpoint source pollution on wild populations.

AN - 890034884; 21808990 AB - Distinguishing the toxic effects of nanoparticles (NPs) themselves from the well-studied toxic effects of their ions is a critical but challenging measurement for nanotoxicity studies and regulation. This measurement is especially difficult for silver NPs (AgNPs) because in many relevant biological and environmental solutions, dissolved silver forms AgCl NPs or microparticles. Simulations predict that solid AgCl particles form at silver concentrations greater than 0.18 and 0.58 μg/mL in cell culture media and moderately hard reconstituted water (MHRW), respectively. The AgCl NPs are usually not easily separable from AgNPs. Therefore, common existing total silver techniques applied to measure AgNP dissolution, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or atomic absorption, cannot accurately measure the amount of silver remaining in AgNP form, as they cannot distinguish Ag oxidation states. In this work, we introduce a simple localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) UV-visible absorbance measurement as a technique to measure the amount of silver remaining in AgNP form for AgNPs with constant agglomeration states. Unlike other existing methods, this absorbance method can be used to measure the amount of silver remaining in AgNP form even in biological and environmental solutions containing chloride because AgCl NPs do not have an associated LSPR absorbance. In addition, no separation step is required to measure the dissolution of the AgNPs. After using ICP-MS to show that the area under the absorbance curve is an accurate measure of silver in AgNP state for unagglomerating AgNPs in non-chloride-containing media, the absorbance is used to measure dissolution rates of AgNPs with different polymer coatings in biological and environmental solutions. We find that the dissolution rate decreases at high AgNP concentrations, 5 kDa polyethylene glycol thiol coatings increase the dissolution rate, and the rate is much higher in cell culture media than in MHRW.

In physical metrology there are well established principles such as fundamental units, precision, accuracy, traceability and uncertainty. In order to understand and define quality for information and sustainability we need to develop metrological concepts similar to those of physical metrology. Research efforts related to information quality (IQ) are scattered. IQ is primarily defined in terms of several characteristics (dimensions) which lack consensus definitions and are sometimes subjective. However, the notion of IQ is currently in practice and has provided some useful insights towards defining formal approaches to IQ. In order to extend the notion of quality to sustainability we need, as in the case of information, a well defined metrology similar to physical metrology. Sustainability is currently getting attention in many areas of human endeavor. One proposal is to measure sustainability in terms of a triple bottom line, namely social, economical and environmental aspects of human endeavor. Sustainability metrics are continuously evolving and their clear definition is fundamental to the understanding of the notion of sustainability quality. As an example we consider evaluation of carbon footprint, as a metric towards sustainability, for manufacturing a simple turned part. After analyzing the current literature, we identify the following needs for characterizing the notion of sustainability quality: (a) standardized terminology of terms and concepts, (b) metrics and metrology, (c) harmonization and extension of standards, (d) conformance testbeds for standards and (e) development of information models that support sustainability.

The flexibility of integrated analysis models allows them to be applied over extended time periods spanning historical decades with little information from which to estimate the annual signal of recruitment variability to modern periods in which more information about recruitment variability exists. Across this range of data availability, the estimation process must assure that the estimated log-normally distributed recruitments are mean unbiased to assure mean unbiased biomass estimates. Here we show how the estimation method implemented in the integrated analysis model, Stock Synthesis, achieves this unbiased characteristic in a penalized likelihood approach that is comparable to the results from Markov chain Monte Carlo. The total variability in recruitment is decomposed into variability among annual recruitment estimates based on information in the data and a residual variability. Because data are never perfectly informative, we show that estimated recruitment variability will always be less than the true variability among recruitments and that the method implemented here can be used to iteratively estimate the true variability among recruitments.Original Abstract: Les modeles d'analyse integree representent un outil pour estimer l'abondance, le recrutement et la mortalite due a la peche chez les poissons a partir d'une gamme etendue de donnees. La flexibilite des modeles d'analyse integree leur permet d'etre utilises sur de grandes periodes de temps, couvrant des decennies passees pour lesquelles il existe peu de donnees pour estimer le signal annuel de variabilite du recrutement, mais aussi sur des periodes contemporaines pour lesquelles il y a plus d'information sur la variabilite du recrutement. Sur cette gamme de donnees disponibles, le processus d'estimation doit assurer que les recrutements estimes selon une distribution log-normale n'ont pas de biais de moyenne afin de produire des estimations moyennes de biomasse non biaisees. Nous montrons ici comment la methode d'estimation utilisee dans le modele d'analyse integree Stock Synthesis reussit a obtenir cette caracteristique non biaisee dans une approche de vraisemblance penalisee qui se compare aux resultats de la methode de Monte Carlo par chaines de Markov. La variabilite totale du recrutement est decomposee en estimations annuelles du recrutement d'apres l'information contenue dans les donnees et en variabilite residuelle. Parce que les donnees n'apportent jamais de l'information parfaite, nous montrons que la variabilite estimee du recrutement sera toujours inferieure a la veritable variabilite entre les recrutements et que la methode que nous utilisons peut servir a estimer de facon iterative la vraie variabilite entre les recrutements.

Continuous-coverage multibeam bathymetry and sidescan-sonar data were obtained in 2008 during NOAA survey H11446, which was conducted in a 12-square kilometer area in Long Island Sound offshore of Orient Point, New York. In addition, sediment and photographic data from 26 stations were obtained during a USGS verification cruise in 2010. Together, the bathymetric, sidescan-sonar, sediment, and photographic data are used to delineate sea-floor features and improve our understanding of processes controlling the distribution and movement of sediment. Overall, the seabed slopes gently seaward from 2 m water depth near shore to over 100 m in Plum Gut, a tidally eroded scour depression between Orient Point and Plum Island. However, topography is more complex in areas where sand waves and boulders are prevalent. Sandy areas of the sea floor are typically current rippled. Sand waves and megaripples generally have north-south-oriented crests with 10- to 20-meter wavelengths. Sand-wave asymmetry and scour around boulders indicate eastward net sediment transport in the east near Plum Gut and westward transport in the northern and western parts of the study area. Areas with boulders on the sea floor are typically hummocky and are part of a submerged flank of the Harbor Hill-Roanoke Point-Orient Point-Fishers Island moraine. Boulders are typically encrusted with sessile fauna and flora (e.g., seaweed, hydrozoans, sponges, and anemones), which dramatically increase the benthic roughness and complexity. Sand, gravel, and gravelly sediment were the only sediment textures identified in the study area; mud is winnowed and prevented from being deposited by strong (over 3 knots) currents. These data are important for benthic-habitat studies and serve as a framework for future monitoring and resource management activities.

The current phase of this research focuses on studies of sea-floor topography and its effect on the distributions of sedimentary environments and benthic communities within a 28.7 square kilometer area offshore of Rocky Point, NY. Exposed boulder lag deposits, sand-wave fields, and scour features, which reflect the strength of the oscillating tidal currents, are visible in the digital terrain model and on the sidescan-sonar mosaic. Boulders and gravel are prevalent off Rocky Point and in the shallow water along the Long Island shoreline in the western part of the study area. These are high-energy areas characterized by sedimentary processes associated with erosion and nondeposition that have winnowed the submerged northern flank of the Harbor Hill-Roanoke Point-Orient Point moraine, leaving coarse lag deposits. Beds of shell debris and seaweed are common in and adjacent to rockier parts of the study area. These beds are ecologically important because they add considerably to the overall benthic compositional complexity. Sand is the dominant sediment offshore in the western part of the study area, on top of Orient Shoal, and in the protected area between Rocky and Terry Points. Much of the sea floor in the offshore sandy areas is covered with sand waves and megaripples, and the stoss slopes of these bedforms are covered in current ripples. These bedforms reflect sedimentary environments characterized by ongoing processes associated with coarse bedload transport. Bedform and scour asymmetry indicates that nearshore transport is predominantly eastward, but offshore transport is primarily westward in the northern and western parts of the study area. Sand-wave asymmetry adjacent to Orient Shoal indicates clockwise sediment transport is important to shoal morphology and maintenance.

The need for scientific literacy has been recognized through the establishment of essential principles in climate, Earth science, oceans, and atmospheric science. However, to pursue literacy in any of these areas it is necessary to identify educational materials that are scientifically accurate, pedagogically effective, and technically robust, and to use them effectively. The CLEAN Pathway (http://cleanet.org) is a National Science Digital library (http://www.nsdl.org) project that is stewarding a collection of materials for teaching climate and energy science in grades 6-16. The collection contains classroom activities, lab demonstrations, visualizations, simulations and more. Each resource is extensively reviewed for scientific accuracy, pedagogical effectiveness, and technical quality, and is aligned with the Climate Literacy Essential Principles for Climate Science and the AAAS Project 2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy. The CLEAN website hosts 100+ resources that represent the leading edge of climate and energy science resources for the classroom. In addition, educators can use the CLEAN website to learn about pedagogic strategies for teaching climate and energy topics. Each essential principle is supported with a description of why the principle is important, why it is difficult to teach, information on how to effectively teach it, and links to resources in the collection that can be used to teach it at the middle-school, high-school, and undergraduate levels. Educators can also join the CLEAN community and attend professional development interactive webinars or workshops focused on effective strategies for bringing the principles of climate and energy literacy into their classrooms. In this presentation we will describe the CLEAN collection, the various avenues through which it can be used to identify resources relevant to educators, and the professional development activities that facilitate its effective use.

Bricker, was an avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast with a keen interest in conservation. He was also a geochemist who dedicated his career to improving the understanding of complex earth processes as a basis for solving environmental problems. He helped lead the development of regional, national and international programs and conferences, such as the National Acid Precipitation Assessment and Chesapeake Bay Programs, and BIOGEOMON conferences, all with a focus on science-based solutions to solve pollution problems. His favorite role was teacher. His most recognized and important research involved small watershed studies. He helped develop the mass balance approach to examine factors influencing weathering and erosion. He extended the method to evaluate effects of anthropogenic perturbations on natural processes, for example, impacts of acid rain, highway runoff, and nutrients from poultry farms. Comparative small watershed studies throughout the US addressed local problems and showed the method to be broadly applicable. He developed a method to estimate stream sensitivity to acid deposition using a fundamental geochemistry tenet, bedrock determines stream chemistry. Owen used these concepts to explore the fate and impacts of waters that originate from headwater catchments on estuarine end points, specifically Chesapeake Bay. Long-term data and the mass balance approach were used to examine perturbations to natural processes in the coastal zone, such as the loss-of-coolant incident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in 1979. Radionuclide mass balances from sediment cores showed that, though measurable, radioactivity from the leak was small compared to natural levels. Radioisotopes in Chesapeake Bay sediment cores were used to recreate sediment deposition and pollution history since the industrial revolution. Comparison to results from sites in CA and RI, together with records of land use, industrial, and domestic activities within these watersheds, provided a more comprehensive picture of pollution processes, and thus potential management solutions, than could have been derived solely from the local study. Recently his work had begun to include consideration of ecosystem services. His legacy continues through the research of his students, colleagues and family.

Some of this variability is driven by onshore hydrostratigraphy, climate, topography, vegetation, and land use. Offshore parameters that control spatial and temporal variability, however, have not generally been conceptualized as clearly or quantified as extensively. Variability of submarine groundwater flow and discharge on passive continental margins can be examined effectively by considering the following three distinct spatial scales: (1) the nearshore or beach scale, spanning approximately 0-10 m offshore, and including the unconfined surficial aquifer and the intertidal recirculation cell, where present; (2) the embayment or inner shelf scale, spanning approximately 10 m to 10 km offshore, and including the uppermost confined submarine aquifer and its terminus; and (3) the shelf scale, spanning the width (generally approximately 80 km) and thickness of the aquifers of the entire continental shelf, from the base of the uppermost confined aquifer downward, and including influences of geothermal convection and glacio-eustatic sea-level change. With the exception of fluid overpressure studies in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005 (Expedition 308), recent or scheduled expeditions of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) that have included primarily hydrogeological objectives have concentrated on mid-ocean ridges (e.g., Juan de Fuca, Mid-Atlantic) and subduction zones (e.g., Cascadia margin, Costa Rica margin). Barge-based drilling is necessary to access all but the smallest and largest scales of marine hydrogeologic phenomena on continental margins. Intermediate-scale phenomena associated with submarine aquifers that exist beneath estuaries, coastal lagoons, and inner continental shelf settings, including permafrost-bearing shelves, may be suitable targets for future IODP expeditions that use alternative platforms such as drilling rigs mounted on shallow-draft and jack-up barges.

Post-Pleistocene fossils deposited in the drainage basin after the retreat of the ice include rare specimens of walrus and whales. Fish and other aquatic species, including unionid bivalves, repopulated the deglaciated lake basins primarily from the Mississippi Basin. Relict Arctic fish species such as grayling persisted in the basin until habitat destruction and overfishing eliminated them. For similar reasons, native Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario are now rare. More recent changes in Great Lakes fauna have been linked to intentional and unintentional introductions of non-native species. Sea lamprey invaded the upper lakes through the Welland Canal, which was built to bypass Niagara Falls and opened in 1929. These fish parasites virtually eliminated populations of the native lake trout. As a result, abundances of alewife, another non-native species that served as prey for the lake trout, increased dramatically. Salmonids were intentionally introduced to the Great Lakes and their tributaries to control alewife and support a sport fishery; some salmonid species continue to be actively stocked each year. Trans-Atlantic introductions of species from the Ponto-Caspian region have mostly come through ballast water discharge from ships, and have included dreissenid bivalves (zebra and quagga mussels), the round goby, and the spiny water flea. Species such as these have severely altered the lower food web and have been linked to rapid declines of important native invertebrates such as Diporeia. Many threats exist to the future of healthy Great Lakes ecosystems. Range expansion of harmful, non-native species and range contraction of native species due to climate change are likely. Continued nutrient pollution may increase harmful algal blooms. Potential introductions of species such as Asian carps, "killer shrimp", or hydrilla further threaten the health of already-disturbed ecosystems. Recent efforts that may help to stabilize Great Lakes ecosystems include work funded under the U.S. Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the development of new ballast water regulations by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Through voluntary efforts, the Vigil Network contained about 80 sites in the 1990s, mainly in the U.S. Much of the geomorphic data stored in the Vigil Network was repeat channel cross sections and other geomorphic measurements such as erosion pins. Over the last 20+ years, the network has been maintained by Waite Osterkamp and William Emmett (both now formerly retired from the U.S. Geological Survey) and currently is housed at the U.S. Geological Survey's Arizona Water Science Center. With little or no funding for maintenance or outreach, additions to the network have been minimal. At the same time, the number of USGS streamgages with referenced channel cross sections has grown exponentially because of widespread development of hydraulic geometry regional curves. Repeat channel cross sections at streamgages are especially powerful because they have associated hydrologic records and a wealth of drainage basin characteristics readily available through existing programs. Unfortunately, no widely available database exists for storage and archiving stream morphology data, and career's worth of channel cross section data, such as Stafford Happ's and James Knox's in the Driftless Area reside in field books, file cabinets, desktop computers, and paper reports. In the spring of 2011, the first national stream morphology database workshop was held by the Advisory Council on Water Information, Subcommittee on Sedimentation. At the workshop fluvial geomorphologists and database designers explored the scope, scale, and costs of developing a national stream morphology database. The attendees confirmed the need for a national stream morphology database and discussed issues concerning scale and data model, scope, funding, and administration. Next steps are to develop a set of recommendations on how to proceed toward the conceptualization and development of a national stream morphology database. These efforts compliment proposals of regional stream geomorphology networks related to climate change.

Estimating temporal trends in animal abundance is central to ecology and conservation, but obtaining useful trend estimates is challenging when animal detection rates vary across surveys (e.g. because of differences in observers or conditions). Methods exist for obtaining abundance estimates using capture-recapture and distance sampling protocols, but only recently have some of these been extended to allow direct estimation of abundance trends when detection rates vary. Extensions to distance sampling for >2 surveys have not yet been demonstrated. 2. We demonstrate a Bayesian approach for estimating abundance and population trends, using a time series of line-transect data for endangered fin whales Balaenoptera physalus off the west coast of the United States. We use a hierarchical model to partition state and observation processes. Population density is modelled as a function of covariates and random process terms, while observed counts are modelled as an overdispersed Poisson process with rates estimated as a function of population density and detection probability, which is modelled using distance sampling theory. We used Deviance Information Criteria to make multi-model inference about abundance and trend estimates. 3. Bayesian posterior distributions for trend parameters provide strong evidence of increasing fin whale abundance in the California Current study area from 1991 to 2008, while individual abundance estimates during survey years were considerably more precise than previously reported estimates using the same data. Assuming no change in underlying population dynamics, we predict continued increases in fin whale numbers over the next decade. Our abundance projections account for both sampling error in parameter estimates and process variance in annual abundance about the mean trend. 4.Synthesis and applications. Bayesian hierarchical modelling offers numerous benefits for analysing animal abundance trends. In our case, these included its implicit handling of sampling covariance, flexibility to accommodate random effects and covariates, ability to compare trend models of different functional forms and ability to partition sampling and process error to make predictions. Ultimately, by placing distance sampling within a more general hierarchical framework, we obtained more precise abundance estimates and an inference about fin whale trends that would have otherwise been difficult.

The FR-GoP includes steep highland regions characterized by intense rainfall and rapid erosion, extensive lowlands with active river floodplains, a mesotidal delta and an actively accreting clinoform. A team of researchers from different institutions is carrying out interdisciplinary studies to investigate the erosion, transport, deposition and ultimate burial of particulate organic matter in this land-ocean continuum. A combined elemental, isotopic and biomarker approach has been applied to characterize the sources and composition of organic matter deposited along the FR-GoP dispersal system. This presentation is intended to provide a summary of the current findings linking biogeochemical cycles with physical and geomorphic processes on land and the coastal ocean. Specifically, it addresses the provenance and diagenetic state of the organic matter sequestered in sedimentary sinks along the dispersal system, including colluvial and alluvial soils in the uplands, floodplain sediments from the lowlands, as well coastal sediments from the delta and adjacent clinoform. The yields of terrigenous biomarkers (lignin and cutin products) as well as elemental and isotopic data are used to differentiate contributions of vegetation-derived organic matter from those of planktonic and petrogenic sources in different depositional settings. Combining insights into the processes of sediment accumulation with measurements of organic-matter loadings, the sequestration potential of different depositional environments along the FR-GoP dispersal system are assessed and these findings contrasted to current paradigms of sedimentary carbon sinks.

The four-receiver VPS method calculated five times more positions of lingcod than VRAP and more than twice as many as the three-receiver VPS. Calculated positions of fixed transmitters were less precise with VRAP than either VPS approach. Measurements of home range for lingcod were similar between the four-receiver VPS and VRAP, which were both greater than the three-receiver VPS. Comparisons varied when lingcod were in/near complex habitats. As new technology develops, it is important to understand how new methods compare to previous methods. This may be important when describing patterns of movement or habitat use in the context of changes in habitat or management efforts.

AN - 909287729; 15086-8_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The continued authorization of the Drakes Bay Oyster Company (DBOC) shellfish operation, which consists of commercial production, harvesting, processing, and sale of shellfish at Point Reyes National Seashore, California is proposed. The Seashore is located in western Marin County in central California, 40 miles northwest of San Francisco. The existing reservation of use and occupancy and associated special use permit (SUP) held by DBOC will expire on November 30, 2012. The company's operations occur on uplands adjacent to Drakes Estero and within Drakes Estero itself. All of the upland, tidal, and subtidal lands on which DBOC conducts its operations are owned in fee by the United States. Drakes Estero is a system of five branching bays encompassing 2,500 acres and separated by low converging ridges. From west to east, they are: Barries Bay, Creamery Bay, Schooner Bay, Home Bay, and Estero de Limantour. The 1,700-acre project area includes DBOC facilities and operations in congressionally-designated potential wilderness (1,363 acres), 2.6 acres of onshore property, and two acres incorporating the well and septic areas. The project area also includes a kayak launch parking area and an access road leading from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. All land and water portions of the project area are owned by the National Park Service. This draft EIS explores four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) under which existing authorizations would expire and conversion of Drakes Estero to full wilderness would ensue. Under the three action alternatives, a new 10-year SUP would be issued for commercial oyster operations in Drakes Estero through November 30, 2022. The action alternatives would involve differing levels of onshore facilities and infrastructure and offshore operations. Alternative B would allow existing onshore facilities and infrastructure and offshore operations for a period of 10 years. Alternative C would allow a level of use that is consistent with the conditions and operations that existed at the time the current SUP was signed in April 2008. Alternative D considers expansion of operations and development of new infrastructure as requested by DBOC. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A new SUP would allow DBOC to cultivate and produce 500,000 to 850,000 pounds annually of shellfish including Pacific oysters, European flat oysters, Manila clams, and purple-hinged rock scallops. DBOC would be required to pay fair market value for the use of federal property, which includes onshore and offshore areas within the permit boundaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Offshore infrastructure and operations would continue on 138 or more acres of intertidal wetlands, resulting in long-term impacts on estuarine subtidal and intertidal systems due to bottom bags, cluster culture for shell hardening, and anchors for bag lines lying on the bottom substrate. Operation of boats and barges would continue to disturb sediment and impact sandbars and mudflats. Propeller damage to subtidal and intertidal aquatic eelgrass beds could occur.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Offshore infrastructure and operations would continue on 138 or more acres of intertidal wetlands, resulting in long-term impacts on estuarine subtidal and intertidal systems due to bottom bags, cluster culture for shell hardening, and anchors for bag lines lying on the bottom substrate. Operation of boats and barges would continue to disturb sediment and impact sandbars and mudflats. Propeller damage to subtidal and intertidal aquatic eelgrass beds could occur.

AN - 909287715; 15086-8_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The continued authorization of the Drakes Bay Oyster Company (DBOC) shellfish operation, which consists of commercial production, harvesting, processing, and sale of shellfish at Point Reyes National Seashore, California is proposed. The Seashore is located in western Marin County in central California, 40 miles northwest of San Francisco. The existing reservation of use and occupancy and associated special use permit (SUP) held by DBOC will expire on November 30, 2012. The company's operations occur on uplands adjacent to Drakes Estero and within Drakes Estero itself. All of the upland, tidal, and subtidal lands on which DBOC conducts its operations are owned in fee by the United States. Drakes Estero is a system of five branching bays encompassing 2,500 acres and separated by low converging ridges. From west to east, they are: Barries Bay, Creamery Bay, Schooner Bay, Home Bay, and Estero de Limantour. The 1,700-acre project area includes DBOC facilities and operations in congressionally-designated potential wilderness (1,363 acres), 2.6 acres of onshore property, and two acres incorporating the well and septic areas. The project area also includes a kayak launch parking area and an access road leading from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. All land and water portions of the project area are owned by the National Park Service. This draft EIS explores four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) under which existing authorizations would expire and conversion of Drakes Estero to full wilderness would ensue. Under the three action alternatives, a new 10-year SUP would be issued for commercial oyster operations in Drakes Estero through November 30, 2022. The action alternatives would involve differing levels of onshore facilities and infrastructure and offshore operations. Alternative B would allow existing onshore facilities and infrastructure and offshore operations for a period of 10 years. Alternative C would allow a level of use that is consistent with the conditions and operations that existed at the time the current SUP was signed in April 2008. Alternative D considers expansion of operations and development of new infrastructure as requested by DBOC.

AN - 905874280; 15077-9_0001 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 SWFSC is one of six regional fisheries science centers operated by the National Marine Fisheries Service and 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 to17 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 draft 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. Other than selective demolition of fixtures and removal of hazardous materials, major on-site demolition activities would not occur until March 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.

[Part 5 of 6] T2 - BAIR ISLAND RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN, DON EDWARDS SAN FRANCISCO BAY NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, BAIR ISLAND ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (ADOPTION OF THE FINAL EIS OF JULY 2006). AN - 905874272; 15078-0_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The final EIS prepared by the Fish and Wildlife Service in July 2006 on an ecosystem restoration and management plan for Bair Island in Redwood City, San Mateo County, California is adopted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The 2,600-acre Bair Island complex, located adjacent to San Francisco Bay, is divided into three distinct areas separated by slough channels. Inner Bair Island is connected to the mainland and can be reached directly by land from Whipple Avenue. Inner Bair Island is separated from Middle Bair Island by Smith Slough, which, in turn, is separated from Outer Bair Island by Corkscrew Slough. Historically, Bair Island was part of a large complex of tidal marshes and mudflats within the drainage of the bay and Belmont Sloughs. The complex was diked in the late 1800s and early 1900s for agricultural uses and then converted to salt evaporation ponds in 1946. The California Department of Fish and Game, the Don Edwards Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Peninsula Open Space Trust have purchased most of the island, and the Trust has turned its property interests over to the other two organizations. Small parcels on Middle Bair Island along Redwood Creek remain in private ownership, and a small area of the bay outside of Outer Bair Island is also privately owned. Other easements are held by the San Carlos Airport, a transmission line right-of-way, and a sanitary sewer main. The island suffers from losses of tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats, deteriorated levees, and increasing operation and maintenance costs. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the final EIS. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative B) would: restore full tidal inundation to the island complex through systematic levee breaching; modify channels at Smith and Corkscrew sloughs, including a flow blockage structure in Smith Slough and a flow restrictor in Corkscrew Slough; and place dredged material to raise the marsh plain elevation on Inner Bair Island prior to breaching. Management of recreation at the site would incorporate a 1.8-mile levee trail and an 0.5-mile connector trail from the parking lot to an Inner Bair Island trailhead; prohibit pets on the island complex; limit public access on Middle and Outer Bair Islands to guided trips, boat access, and to a viewing platform on Middle Bair; subject motorized vehicles to no wake zones and speed limits on Smith and Corkscrew sloughs; limit fishing in Smith, Corkscrew, and Steinberger sloughs and Redwood Creek to boat access; enforce seasonal closure of all boat access to protect sensitive harbor seals; and allow the hunting of waterfowl on portions of Middle and Outer Bair Islands per state regulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would restore high-quality tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats in San Francisco Bay, maximize the function and values of tidal salt marsh habitats, provide habitat for endangered species and other native wildlife, and enhance the public's appreciation and awareness of the unique resources of the island complex. Opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation in the bay area would increase substantially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan could exacerbate the spread of invasive Atlantic cordgrass. Flood hazards in the area would increase due to the loss of the levees. Construction activities could result in significant impacts to cultural resources and would create significant levels of dust.

The 2,600-acre Bair Island complex, located adjacent to San Francisco Bay, is divided into three distinct areas separated by slough channels. Inner Bair Island is connected to the mainland and can be reached directly by land from Whipple Avenue. Inner Bair Island is separated from Middle Bair Island by Smith Slough, which, in turn, is separated from Outer Bair Island by Corkscrew Slough. Historically, Bair Island was part of a large complex of tidal marshes and mudflats within the drainage of the bay and Belmont Sloughs. The complex was diked in the late 1800s and early 1900s for agricultural uses and then converted to salt evaporation ponds in 1946. The California Department of Fish and Game, the Don Edwards Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Peninsula Open Space Trust have purchased most of the island, and the Trust has turned its property interests over to the other two organizations. Small parcels on Middle Bair Island along Redwood Creek remain in private ownership, and a small area of the bay outside of Outer Bair Island is also privately owned. Other easements are held by the San Carlos Airport, a transmission line right-of-way, and a sanitary sewer main. The island suffers from losses of tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats, deteriorated levees, and increasing operation and maintenance costs. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the final EIS. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative B) would: restore full tidal inundation to the island complex through systematic levee breaching; modify channels at Smith and Corkscrew sloughs, including a flow blockage structure in Smith Slough and a flow restrictor in Corkscrew Slough; and place dredged material to raise the marsh plain elevation on Inner Bair Island prior to breaching.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would restore high-quality tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats in San Francisco Bay, maximize the function and values of tidal salt marsh habitats, provide habitat for endangered species and other native wildlife, and enhance the public's appreciation and awareness of the unique resources of the island complex. Opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation in the bay area would increase substantially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan could exacerbate the spread of invasive Atlantic cordgrass. Flood hazards in the area would increase due to the loss of the levees. Construction activities could result in significant impacts to cultural resources and would create significant levels of dust.

AN - 904005037; 15077 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 SWFSC is one of six regional fisheries science centers operated by the National Marine Fisheries Service and 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 to17 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 draft 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. Other than selective demolition of fixtures and removal of hazardous materials, major on-site demolition activities would not occur until March 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 - 904005022; 15078 AB - PURPOSE: The final EIS prepared by the Fish and Wildlife Service in July 2006 on an ecosystem restoration and management plan for Bair Island in Redwood City, San Mateo County, California is adopted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The 2,600-acre Bair Island complex, located adjacent to San Francisco Bay, is divided into three distinct areas separated by slough channels. Inner Bair Island is connected to the mainland and can be reached directly by land from Whipple Avenue. Inner Bair Island is separated from Middle Bair Island by Smith Slough, which, in turn, is separated from Outer Bair Island by Corkscrew Slough. Historically, Bair Island was part of a large complex of tidal marshes and mudflats within the drainage of the bay and Belmont Sloughs. The complex was diked in the late 1800s and early 1900s for agricultural uses and then converted to salt evaporation ponds in 1946. The California Department of Fish and Game, the Don Edwards Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Peninsula Open Space Trust have purchased most of the island, and the Trust has turned its property interests over to the other two organizations. Small parcels on Middle Bair Island along Redwood Creek remain in private ownership, and a small area of the bay outside of Outer Bair Island is also privately owned. Other easements are held by the San Carlos Airport, a transmission line right-of-way, and a sanitary sewer main. The island suffers from losses of tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats, deteriorated levees, and increasing operation and maintenance costs. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the final EIS. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative B) would: restore full tidal inundation to the island complex through systematic levee breaching; modify channels at Smith and Corkscrew sloughs, including a flow blockage structure in Smith Slough and a flow restrictor in Corkscrew Slough; and place dredged material to raise the marsh plain elevation on Inner Bair Island prior to breaching. Management of recreation at the site would incorporate a 1.8-mile levee trail and an 0.5-mile connector trail from the parking lot to an Inner Bair Island trailhead; prohibit pets on the island complex; limit public access on Middle and Outer Bair Islands to guided trips, boat access, and to a viewing platform on Middle Bair; subject motorized vehicles to no wake zones and speed limits on Smith and Corkscrew sloughs; limit fishing in Smith, Corkscrew, and Steinberger sloughs and Redwood Creek to boat access; enforce seasonal closure of all boat access to protect sensitive harbor seals; and allow the hunting of waterfowl on portions of Middle and Outer Bair Islands per state regulations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would restore high-quality tidal marsh ecosystems and habitats in San Francisco Bay, maximize the function and values of tidal salt marsh habitats, provide habitat for endangered species and other native wildlife, and enhance the public's appreciation and awareness of the unique resources of the island complex. Opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation in the bay area would increase substantially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan could exacerbate the spread of invasive Atlantic cordgrass. Flood hazards in the area would increase due to the loss of the levees. Construction activities could result in significant impacts to cultural resources and would create significant levels of dust.

Preparation date: September 23, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Role of channel and floodplain cross-section geometry in the basin response AN - 899151842; 15744371 AB - We investigate the role of cross-section geometry in flow routing by developing an analytical framework based on the instantaneous response function (IRF) and relationships of river basin geomorphology. The cross-section geometry is included explicitly within the framework by assuming a power law cross section that is, in turn, used to derive expressions for the at-a-site hydraulic geometry. The analysis performed using the Illinois River basin indicates that the cross-section geometry takes on different roles depending on whether flows are in the channel or floodplain. The cross-section geometry where width dominates over depth (width dominant), i.e., the at-a-site width-depth ratio increases with increasing depth, tends to produce a larger network celerity and dispersion for the channel, and the trend reverses for the high floodplain flows. We found that the cross-section geometry can influence the relative contribution of hydrodynamic and kinematic dispersion. For the channel, the depth-dominant cross section produces a lower hydrodynamic dispersion than the width-dominant cross section and vice versa for the floodplain. We found that the nonlinear dependence of the IRF on effective rainfall, expressed in the IRF time to peak and peak flow, may vary depending on the cross-section geometry, with the nonlinearity decreasing for the width-dominant cross sections. Additionally, the effect of cross-section geometry on the basin response can alter the relative contribution of the stream network and hillslopes to the basin dispersion. The derived framework has potential as an a priori tool for incorporating channel and floodplain geometry into distributed rainfall-runoff models.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - ILLINOIS COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 905874068; 15070-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP), which describes current state coastal legislation and management policies, is proposed. The ICMP is based on a framework and process for linking existing state programs, agencies, and laws into a system that will meet federal requirements under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) for an effective state coastal management program. It provides for the management of all land and water uses having a direct and significant impact on coastal waters. Program policies are articulated for: public waters, navigation and the public interest; erosion and flooding; water quality and supply; habitats, wetlands, and wildlife; historic, archaeological and cultural resources; recreation and public access; economic development; and energy facilities and air quality. The ICMP would result in changes in the way coastal resources are managed by requiring the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to monitor all state actions which could affect coastal resources, resolve conflicts between state agency decisions and the provisions of the ICMP, and enhance implementation of core programs such as addressing hazards such as erosion, economically depressed waterfront areas, and planning for and creating public access. Examples of general tasks that would be performed under the ICMP include program administration, federal consistency review, ICMP review and evaluation, networking with state and local agencies, outreach and education, and grant administration. Illinois uses a two-component inland boundary: the Lakeshore Boundary defines the landward limit of the coastal zone inland, and is generally parallel to the Lake Michigan shoreline; the Inland Waterway Boundary consists of a coastal zone corridor that extends along the near-lake segments of the river systems that historically flowed to Lake Michigan but are now engineered to flow away from the lake. The inland waterway corridors consist of both the waterway, and designated land area to either side of the waterway. The Inland Waterway component of the Illinois coastal zone includes select segments of the Chicago River system and select segments of the Little and Grand Calumet Rivers. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, which is the preferred alternative, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) would approve the ICMP. Alternative 2 is the No Action Alternative and would deny approval of the ICMP based on a finding that it does not meet all requirements of the CZMA and/or other federal statutes. Under Alternative 3, OCRM could delay approval if any element of the ICMP does not meet requirements and requires some modification. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the ICMP would qualify Illinois for federal matching of funds for use in administering the program. Implementation would enhance governance of coastal land and water uses and would strengthen local stakeholder capacity to initiate and continue effective coastal management consistent with identified state standards and criteria. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the ICMP would commit state and federal funds and personnel for the purpose of achieving the goals and objectives of a program which must weigh many factors and diverse, often conflicting values, between resource protection and development. The denial or delay of approval of the ICMP would result in the loss of approximately $2 million in federal funds annually to administer the program and of the opportunity to ensure consistency of federal activities in or affecting its coastal areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1465).

[Part 4 of 13] T2 - JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER RELOCATION PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 905873181; 15071-3_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a permanent Joint Operations Center (JOC) for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), and the National Weather Service (NWS) in north-central Sacramento County, California are proposed. The JOC, which coordinates water supply and flood management operations, includes: Reclamations Central Valley Operations Office; DWRs Division of Operations and Maintenance, Operations Control Office, State Water Project (SWP) Power and Risk Office, and Division of Flood Managements Offices of Operations and Maintenance and Hydrology and Flood Operations including the State-Federal Flood Operations Center; and the NWS Sacramento Weather Forecast Office and California-Nevada River Forecast Center. Currently, Reclamation, DWR, and the NWS are jointly located in a leased building on El Camino Avenue which is space constrained and fails to meet major safety and security requirements. The proposed replacement facility, including special needs, essential services, and requisite office space, would accommodate 600 employees and consist of 200,000 square feet of building space. The new facility would house control centers for the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project, a flood operations center, backup power supplies, primary and backup communication systems, intense computer infrastructure, and physical and cyber security systems. Four alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the JOC facilities would be constructed at a Reclamation-owned property near Nimbus Fish Hatchery. The 25.5-acre site is currently undeveloped, with the exception of the existing two-lane Nimbus Road used for access to the California Department of Fish and Game regional office and parking areas for the Upper Sunrise Recreation Area of the American River Parkway System. Under Alternative 1, the JOC would be constructed at a currently undeveloped 21.2-acre commercial site on Kilgore Road near Sunrise Boulevard. Alternative 2 would involve construction and operation of JOC facilities on the former Mather Air Force Base at a privately owned and partially developed 14.4-acre property on Peter A. McCuen Boulevard. Two site layout configurations, a campus layout option and three-story building option, are being evaluated for the proposed action. Under the standard schedule, construction would begin in early 2013 and take approximately two years. Under the phased schedule, construction of the proposed JOC facility would take five years to complete. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The relocation project would provide a permanent facility that meets state essential service criteria for an emergency operations center. The combined occupancy of Reclamation, DWR, and NWS in a new facility would improve communications and coordination during emergencies such as floods and droughts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The No Action Alternative would involve possible risks to people and structures caused by strong seismic ground shaking. Under the action alternatives, increases to peak-hour and daily traffic volumes would result in unacceptable levels of service at intersections near the permanent JOC.

McCuen Boulevard. Two site layout configurations, a campus layout option and three-story building option, are being evaluated for the proposed action. Under the standard schedule, construction would begin in early 2013 and take approximately two years. Under the phased schedule, construction of the proposed JOC facility would take five years to complete. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The relocation project would provide a permanent facility that meets state essential service criteria for an emergency operations center. The combined occupancy of Reclamation, DWR, and NWS in a new facility would improve communications and coordination during emergencies such as floods and droughts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The No Action Alternative would involve possible risks to people and structures caused by strong seismic ground shaking. Under the action alternatives, increases to peak-hour and daily traffic volumes would result in unacceptable levels of service at intersections near the permanent JOC.

[Part 12 of 13] T2 - JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER RELOCATION PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 905872656; 15071-3_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a permanent Joint Operations Center (JOC) for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), and the National Weather Service (NWS) in north-central Sacramento County, California are proposed. The JOC, which coordinates water supply and flood management operations, includes: Reclamations Central Valley Operations Office; DWRs Division of Operations and Maintenance, Operations Control Office, State Water Project (SWP) Power and Risk Office, and Division of Flood Managements Offices of Operations and Maintenance and Hydrology and Flood Operations including the State-Federal Flood Operations Center; and the NWS Sacramento Weather Forecast Office and California-Nevada River Forecast Center. Currently, Reclamation, DWR, and the NWS are jointly located in a leased building on El Camino Avenue which is space constrained and fails to meet major safety and security requirements. The proposed replacement facility, including special needs, essential services, and requisite office space, would accommodate 600 employees and consist of 200,000 square feet of building space. The new facility would house control centers for the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project, a flood operations center, backup power supplies, primary and backup communication systems, intense computer infrastructure, and physical and cyber security systems. Four alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the JOC facilities would be constructed at a Reclamation-owned property near Nimbus Fish Hatchery. The 25.5-acre site is currently undeveloped, with the exception of the existing two-lane Nimbus Road used for access to the California Department of Fish and Game regional office and parking areas for the Upper Sunrise Recreation Area of the American River Parkway System. Under Alternative 1, the JOC would be constructed at a currently undeveloped 21.2-acre commercial site on Kilgore Road near Sunrise Boulevard. Alternative 2 would involve construction and operation of JOC facilities on the former Mather Air Force Base at a privately owned and partially developed 14.4-acre property on Peter A.

Four alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the JOC facilities would be constructed at a Reclamation-owned property near Nimbus Fish Hatchery. The 25.5-acre site is currently undeveloped, with the exception of the existing two-lane Nimbus Road used for access to the California Department of Fish and Game regional office and parking areas for the Upper Sunrise Recreation Area of the American River Parkway System. Under Alternative 1, the JOC would be constructed at a currently undeveloped 21.2-acre commercial site on Kilgore Road near Sunrise Boulevard. Alternative 2 would involve construction and operation of JOC facilities on the former Mather Air Force Base at a privately owned and partially developed 14.4-acre property on Peter A. McCuen Boulevard. Two site layout configurations, a campus layout option and three-story building option, are being evaluated for the proposed action. Under the standard schedule, construction would begin in early 2013 and take approximately two years. Under the phased schedule, construction of the proposed JOC facility would take five years to complete. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The relocation project would provide a permanent facility that meets state essential service criteria for an emergency operations center. The combined occupancy of Reclamation, DWR, and NWS in a new facility would improve communications and coordination during emergencies such as floods and droughts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The No Action Alternative would involve possible risks to people and structures caused by strong seismic ground shaking. Under the action alternatives, increases to peak-hour and daily traffic volumes would result in unacceptable levels of service at intersections near the permanent JOC.

Preparation date: September 16, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ILLINOIS COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 904005030; 15070 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP), which describes current state coastal legislation and management policies, is proposed. The ICMP is based on a framework and process for linking existing state programs, agencies, and laws into a system that will meet federal requirements under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) for an effective state coastal management program. It provides for the management of all land and water uses having a direct and significant impact on coastal waters. Program policies are articulated for: public waters, navigation and the public interest; erosion and flooding; water quality and supply; habitats, wetlands, and wildlife; historic, archaeological and cultural resources; recreation and public access; economic development; and energy facilities and air quality. The ICMP would result in changes in the way coastal resources are managed by requiring the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to monitor all state actions which could affect coastal resources, resolve conflicts between state agency decisions and the provisions of the ICMP, and enhance implementation of core programs such as addressing hazards such as erosion, economically depressed waterfront areas, and planning for and creating public access. Examples of general tasks that would be performed under the ICMP include program administration, federal consistency review, ICMP review and evaluation, networking with state and local agencies, outreach and education, and grant administration. Illinois uses a two-component inland boundary: the Lakeshore Boundary defines the landward limit of the coastal zone inland, and is generally parallel to the Lake Michigan shoreline; the Inland Waterway Boundary consists of a coastal zone corridor that extends along the near-lake segments of the river systems that historically flowed to Lake Michigan but are now engineered to flow away from the lake. The inland waterway corridors consist of both the waterway, and designated land area to either side of the waterway. The Inland Waterway component of the Illinois coastal zone includes select segments of the Chicago River system and select segments of the Little and Grand Calumet Rivers. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, which is the preferred alternative, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) would approve the ICMP. Alternative 2 is the No Action Alternative and would deny approval of the ICMP based on a finding that it does not meet all requirements of the CZMA and/or other federal statutes. Under Alternative 3, OCRM could delay approval if any element of the ICMP does not meet requirements and requires some modification. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the ICMP would qualify Illinois for federal matching of funds for use in administering the program. Implementation would enhance governance of coastal land and water uses and would strengthen local stakeholder capacity to initiate and continue effective coastal management consistent with identified state standards and criteria. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the ICMP would commit state and federal funds and personnel for the purpose of achieving the goals and objectives of a program which must weigh many factors and diverse, often conflicting values, between resource protection and development. The denial or delay of approval of the ICMP would result in the loss of approximately $2 million in federal funds annually to administer the program and of the opportunity to ensure consistency of federal activities in or affecting its coastal areas.

Approximately 4% of the combusted material was released into the atmosphere as BC. The total amount of BC introduced to the atmosphere of the Gulf of Mexico via surface burning of oil during the 9-week spill is estimated to be (1.35 +/- 0.72) 106 kg. The median mass diameter of BC particles observed in the burning plume was much larger than that of the non-plume Gulf background air and previously sampled from a variety of sources. The plume BC particles were internally mixed with very little non-refractory material, a feature typical of fresh emissions from fairly efficient fossil-fuel burning sources and atypical of BC in biomass burning plumes. BC dominated the total accumulation-mode aerosol in both mass and number. The BC mass-specific extinction cross-section was 10.2 +/- 4.1 and 7.1 +/- 2.8 m2/g at 405 and 532 nm respectively. These results help constrain the properties of BC emissions associated with DWH and other large spills.

A parameterization based on multi-variate probability density functions with dynamics (MVD PDFs) has been incorporated into the single-column version of GFDL AM3, extended to treat aerosol activation, and coupled with a two-moment microphysics scheme. We use it to explore cloud-aerosol interactions. In agreement with LESs, our single-column simulations produce both positive and negative LWP responses to increasing aerosol concentrations, depending on precipitation and free atmosphere relative humidity. We have conducted sensitivity tests to vertical resolution and droplet sedimentation parameterization. The dependence of sedimentation on cloud droplet size is essential to capture the full LWP responses to aerosols. Further analyses reveal that the MVD PDFs are able to represent changes in buoyancy profiles induced by sedimentation as well as enhanced entrainment efficiency with aerosols comparable to LESs.

Previous work has shown that rapid condensation of partially oxidized hydrocarbons was responsible for formation of a plume of secondary organic aerosol downwind of the spill region. Here we examine new particle formation and growth kinetics. New particles were formed upwind of the freshest oil but downwind of oil that surfaced less than about 100 hours previously. Four nm particles formed at a rate of ~3 cm-3 s-1 and subsequently grew by condensation at a rate of ~20 nm hr-1; preexisting accumulation mode particles grew by ~10 nm hr-1. The gas-phase concentration of a condensing species necessary to support irreversible growth with unit accommodation coefficient is estimated to be ~0.04-0.09 mu g m-3 (~3-8 pptv). Gas-phase concentrations may have been higher if condensation were limited by volatility. The ratio of growth rates for newly formed particles to accumulation mode particles was consistent within error limits with irreversible condensation. The absence of new particle formation away from the <100 hr-old oil slick indicates that the oxidation products of gas-phase hydrocarbon species were directly involved in the formation and growth of new particles.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SPINY LOBSTER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTH ATLANTIC REGIONS. AN - 900615886; 15062-4_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to set annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) to prevent overfishing of Caribbean spiny lobster in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico is proposed. In addition to ACLs and AMs, Amendment 10 considers possible sector allocations for spiny lobster in state and federal waters from North Carolina through Texas. The amendment contains management alternatives for several other issues regarding the lobster fishery, including: removal of some species of lobster from the Fishery Management Unit; limiting fishing areas to protect threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals; updating framework procedures and protocol for enhanced cooperative management; modifying regulations regarding the use of undersized lobster as attractants; modifying tailing requirements for vessels that obtain a tailing permit; requirements for gear markings on trap lines to help identify any entanglements with endangered species; and provisions to allow public removal of derelict traps. Multiple action alternatives and a No Action Alternative for each of the eleven actions under consideration are analyzed in this final EIS. The preferred alternatives would: remove four incidental species (smoothtail spiny lobster, spotted spiny lobster, Spanish slipper lobster, and ridged slipper lobster) from the Fishery Management Unit; set the maximum sustainable yield proxy and the maximum fishing mortality threshold at 7.9 million pounds; establish annual catch targets as the AM for Caribbean spiny lobster; allow undersized spiny lobster not exceeding 50 per boat and one per trap aboard each boat if used exclusively for luring, decoying or otherwise attracting non-captive spiny lobsters; revise current regulations to state that all vessels must have either a federal spiny lobster permit or a Florida restricted species endorsements associated with a Florida saltwater products license to obtain a tailing permit; specify that all Caribbean spiny lobster landed must either be landed all whole or all tailed; require gear markings on all spiny lobster trap lines in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off Florida no later than August 2014; and delegate authority to regulate the removal of derelict or abandoned spiny lobster traps occurring in the EEZ off Florida to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Amendment 10 would bring the Spiny Lobster FMP into compliance with Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requirements to keep the Caribbean spiny lobster stock at a level that will produce optimum yield. The fishery would continue to operate while minimizing any impacts on threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Area closures could have negative effects on fishermen through reduced harvests and could also create crowding. Harvest controls would have adverse economic impacts on industries associated with the fishery until the resource is rebuilt and less restrictive management is allowable. The use of biological reference points could create additional administrative and law enforcement burdens.

16469812 AB - Understanding the ability of biodiversity to govern ecosystem function is essential with current pressures on natural communities from species invasions and extirpations. Changes in fish communities can be a major determinant of food web dynamics, and even small shifts in species composition or richness can translate into large effects on ecosystems. In addition, there is a large information gap in extrapolating results of small-scale biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments to natural systems with realistic environmental complexity. Thus, we tested the key mechanisms (resource complementarity and selection effect) for biodiversity to influence fish production in mesocosms and ponds. Fish diversity treatments were created by replicating species richness and species composition within each richness level. In mesocosms, increasing richness had a positive effect on fish biomass with an overyielding pattern indicating species mixtures were more productive than any individual species. Additive partitioning confirmed a positive net effect of biodiversity driven by a complementarity effect. Productivity was less affected by species diversity when species were more similar. Thus, the primary mechanism driving fish production in the mesocosms was resource complementarity. In the ponds, the mechanism driving fish production changed through time. The key mechanism was initially resource complementarity until production was influenced by the selection effect. Varying strength of intraspecific interactions resulting from differences in resource levels and heterogeneity likely caused differences in mechanisms between the mesocosm and pond experiments, as well as changes through time in the ponds. Understanding the mechanisms by which fish diversity governs ecosystem function and how environmental complexity and resource levels alter these relationships can be used to improve predictions for natural systems.

In particular, when Markov transition probabilities are calculated by tracking individual points over time, misidentification of the same spatial locations will result in biased estimates of transition probabilities, successional rates, and community trajectories. Nonetheless, to date, all published studies that use such data have implicitly assumed that resampling occurs without error when making estimates of transition rates. Here, we develop and test a straightforward maximum likelihood approach, based on simple field estimates of resampling errors, to arrive at corrected estimates of transition rates between species in a rocky intertidal community. We compare community Markov models based on raw and corrected transition estimates using data from Endocladia muricata-dominated plots in a California intertidal assemblage, finding that uncorrected predictions of succession consistently overestimate recovery time. We tested the precision and accuracy of the approach using simulated datasets and found good performance of our estimation method over a range of realistic sample sizes and error rates.

Detections of tagged fish by instream antennas revealed that a much higher proportion of juvenile coho salmon emigrated to the sea in the fall than during the spring. Fall emigrants predominantly originated from East Twin River (96.6%) whereas Sadie Creek coho salmon remained in-stream to overwinter where they grew faster and became larger when compared to smolts from East Twin River. Results suggest that fish size in the fall and location in the watershed may influence emigration timing.

It is shown that (i) the original data moments and correlations can be unbiasedly recovered from noise multiplied data (ii) for both finite and infinite population sampling, all polynomial estimators for the original data can be adopted easily for the masked data and (iii) for tabular magnitude data, multiplicative noises affect the quality of a cell total more for sensitive cells than for nonsensitive cells. Disclosure risk assessment and the choice of the noise distribution are discussed using the prediction error variance in a conservative scenario, where an intruder knows the perturbed cell total and all values within the cell, except the target unit's value. We also derive some interesting properties of a balanced noise method, and ascertain the reduction in the variance of a cell total by using the balancing mechanism. Adapted from the source document.

ESA Issue Brief #05-11 AN - 964170028; ED523768 AB - Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workers are essential to American innovation and competitiveness in an increasingly dynamic and global marketplace. In this report, the authors examine demographic disparities in STEM education and find that educational attainment may affect equality of opportunity in these critical, high-quality jobs of the future. This report follows an analysis of labor market outcomes and gender disparities among STEM workers. The authors find that regardless of race and Hispanic origin, higher college graduation rates are associated with higher shares of workers with STEM jobs. But non-Hispanic Whites and Asians are much more likely than other minority groups to have a bachelor's degree. By increasing the numbers of STEM workers among currently underrepresented groups through education everyone can help ensure America's future as a global leader in technology and innovation.

American Community Survey Reports. ACS-14 AN - 964169936; ED523770 AB - The relationship between education and earnings is a long-analyzed topic of study. Generally, there is a strong belief that achievement of higher levels of education is a well established path to better jobs and better earnings. This report provides one view of the economic value of educational attainment by producing an estimate of the amount of money a person might earn over the course of their working life, given their level of education. These estimates are "synthetic," that is, they are not the actual dollars people earned over the complete working life of the person (which would require us to have retrospective earnings data for the 40 years of their work-life). Instead, they are estimated using data from a one point-in-time cross-sectional survey. In this report, the Synthetic Work-life Earnings (SWE) estimates are first used to explore the basic relationship between education and earnings. The report then delves deeper into differences between race and gender groups with regard to this relationship. The authors also consider other factors that might influence earnings, such as citizenship, English-speaking ability, and geographic location. The data for this research comes from the Multiyear American Community Survey (ACS) data file for the period 2006 to 2008. (Contains 5 figures, 4 tables and 9 footnotes.)

The study was restricted to members of the 2000 year class and thereby controlled for inter-annual variability. Juveniles were sampled from the year class during 10 cruises in the western Gulf of Alaska (GOA). Fifty percent of juveniles exhibited an annulus on 16 March 2001 ( plus or minus 11 days 95% confidence interval). No regional difference was detected in the timing of annulus formation or in post-annulus growth trajectories. A model, derived from growth trajectories, estimated that the growing season lasted 204 days (22 March to 13 October 2001) and that growth rate peaked at 0.59 mm day super(-1) on 2 July 2001. Growth rate increased with day length and water temperature during spring and decreased in late summer possibly due to thermal stress. Secondarily, we explored the utility of otolith size at the first annulus as a natural tag to identify nursery area, but this potential was curtailed by overlap in length among regions. Our results indicate that the first annulus can be used to advance our understanding of climate forcing on marine fish growth by providing fine temporal resolution of the growing season.

The Bering Sea communicates with the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas via northward advection of water, nutrients, and plankton through Bering Strait. However, continuity of the ocean's physical properties is modulated by regional differences in heat, salt, and sea ice budgets, in particular, along the meridional gradient. Using summer density data from zooplankton, fish (bottom and surface trawl), and seabird surveys, we define three biogeographic provinces: the Eastern Bering Shelf Province (the eastern Bering Sea shelf south of Saint Lawrence Island), the Chirikov-Chukchi Province (the eastern Bering Sea shelf north of Saint Lawrence Island [Chirikov Basin] and Chukchi Sea), and the Beaufort Sea Province. Regional differences in summer distributions of biota largely reflect the underlying oceanography. Climate warming will reduce the duration and possibly the extent of seasonal ice cover in the Eastern Bering Shelf Province, but this warming may not lead to increased abundance of some subarctic species because seasonal ice cover and cold (< 2 degree C) bottom waters on the Bering shelf form a barrier to the northward migration of subarctic bottom fish species typical of the southeastern Bering Sea. While Arctic species that are dependent upon the summer extent of sea ice face an uncertain future, other Arctic species' resilience to a changing climate will be derived from waters that continue to freeze each winter.

H., and Barbeaux, S. J. 2011. The frequency and quantity of Alaskan groundfish catcher-vessel landings made with and without an observer. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1757-1763.The North Pacific Groundfish Observer Programme (NPGOP) is one of the largest on-board fishery-monitoring programmes in the world, and the data are used extensively for both in- and post-season management of fisheries. Within certain limits, Alaskan fishers determine when and where to carry observers. There may be an incentive to fish differently during observed trips because (i) observed trips carry higher costs than unobserved trips, and (ii) bycatch quanta for quota deduction are estimated by applying bycatch rates from observed trips to retained catches on unobserved trips. Such differences may be manifest through the skewed deployment of observers among fisheries, i.e. a deployment effect, and through unrepresentative activities by fishers when an observer is on board, i.e. an observer effect. Despite long-standing concerns expressed over the NPGOP's 40-year history, evidence of deployment and observer effects have been based largely on anecdotal information. In 2008, database changes allowed a comparison of industry landing reports for trips with and without an observer. A deployment effect was evidenced by significant deviations from the expected landing ratios between observed and unobserved trips, and linear mixed-effect models revealed differences in the landed weight and evidence for an observer effect within two of five fisheries examined.

H. A 2011. comparison between industry and observer catch compositions within the Gulf of Alaska rockfish fishery. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1769-1777.Stock assessment scientists and fishery managers operate under the necessary assumption that the identities of species in official catch reports are known without error. To test this assumption, the incidence, magnitude, and possible causes of species misidentification between industry and fishery-observer data sources were investigated for 29 rockfish landings made in Kodiak, AK. Rockfish species were misidentified in nearly all these landings, and the incidence of misidentification between data sources differed among species rather than the processing plant examined. Although observers failed to identify species recorded by processing plant staff as a result of small sampling fractions, the industry missed species that were identified by observers in more than half the offloads examined. The presence of management species complexes did not reduce the likelihood of erroneous quota debiting as a result of species misidentification. In one landing, the misidentification of the main rockfish species corresponded to the release of a weekly report on total allowable catch and resulted in a delayed fishery closure. Efforts to improve the accuracy of species identifications reported by industry in landing reports are warranted in Alaska, and methods to accomplish this through efficient deployment of observers are discussed.

Multiyear variability of phytoplankton abundance in the Gulf of Maine. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1833-1841.Significant interannual changes in phytoplankton abundance were identified in the Continuous Plankton Recorder time-series collected in the Gulf of Maine from 1961 to 2008. Abundance levels of nearly all the common taxa began to increase in 1990 and remained elevated through 2001. During that period, total numbers were above average throughout the year, with an unusual bloom in late summer. Multivariate analysis of abundance identified three consecutive multiyear periods of varying abundance levels: low to average from 1961 to 1989, above average or very high from 1990 to 2001, and below average thereafter, through 2008. Phytoplankton abundance patterns were closely aligned to the rising trends displayed by several of the common zooplankton taxa. The North Atlantic Oscillation was the only environmental variable examined that showed some association with time-series abundance trends of plankton. The index was primarily positive in the 1990s, which would favour the propagation of warm, nutrient-rich slope water into the region. Perhaps the increased influx of this water, along with feedback enrichment from abundant zooplankton stocks and reduced top-down control by the relative scarcity of the dominant copepod Calanus finmarchicus, combined with a low salinity to make the 1990s a unique decade for plankton change in the Gulf of Maine.

For VRE sources, such as wind and solar, to reach high penetration levels in the nation's electric grid, electric system operators and VRE operators need better atmospheric observations, models, and forecasts. Improved meteorological observations through a deep layer of the atmosphere are needed for assimilation into numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The need for improved operational NWP forecasts that can be used as inputs to power prediction models in the 0-36-h time frame is particularly urgent and more accurate predictions of rapid changes in VRE generation (ramp events) in the very short range (0-6 h) are crucial. We describe several recent studies that investigate the feasibility of generating 20% or more of the nation's electricity from weather-dependent VRE. Next, we describe key advances in atmospheric science needed for effective development of wind energy and approaches to achieving these improvements. The financial benefit to the nation of improved wind forecasts is potentially in the billions of dollars per year. Obtaining the necessary meteorological and climatological observations and predictions is a major undertaking, requiring collaboration from the government, private, and academic sectors. We describe a field project that will begin in 2011 to improve short-term wind forecasts, which demonstrates such a collaboration, and which falls under a recent memorandum of understanding between the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the Department of Energy and the Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The research site, located on a ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is strongly influenced by biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs); thus this data adds to the few existing measurements of glyoxal in BVOC-dominated areas. The short lifetime of glyoxal of similar to 1 h, the fact that glyoxal mixing ratios are much higher during high temperature periods, and the results of a photochemical model demonstrate that glyoxal is strongly influenced by BVOC precursors during high temperature periods. A zero-dimensional box model using near-explicit chemistry from the Leeds Master Chemical Mechanism v3.1 was used to investigate the processes controlling glyoxal chemistry during BEARPEX 2007. The model showed that MBO is the most important glyoxal precursor ( similar to 67%), followed by isoprene ( similar to 26%) and methylchavicol ( similar to 6%), a precursor previously not commonly considered for glyoxal production. The model calculated a noon lifetime for glyoxal of similar to 0.9 h, making glyoxal well suited as a local tracer of VOC oxidation in a forested rural environment; however, the modeled glyoxal mixing ratios over-predicted measured glyoxal by a factor 2 to 5. Loss of glyoxal to aerosol was not found to be significant, likely as a result of the very dry conditions, and could not explain the over-prediction. Although several parameters, such as an approximation for advection, were found to improve the model measurement discrepancy, reduction in OH was by far the most effective. Reducing model OH concentrations to half the measured values decreased the glyoxal over-prediction from a factor of 2.4 to 1.1, as well as the overprediction of HO sub(2) from a factor of 1.64 to 1.14. Our analysis has shown that glyoxal is particularly sensitive to OH concentration compared to other BVOC oxidation products. This relationship arises from (i) the predominantly secondary- or higher-generation production of glyoxal from (mainly OH-driven, rather than O sub(3)-driven) BVOC oxidation at this site and (ii) the relative importance of photolysis in glyoxal loss as compared to reaction with OH. We propose that glyoxal is a useful tracer for OH-driven BVOC oxidation chemistry.

Patterns of cetacean bycatch and depredation in Hawaii-based pelagic longline fisheries AN - 899162784; 15734167 AB - U.S. Pacific pelagic longline fisheries operating in the central North Pacific have been subject to a series of regulations to reduce bycatch of protected species, including seabirds and sea turtles. Cetaceans are also occasionally caught, and the bycatch of false killer whales, Pseudorca crassidens, in the Hawaii-based deep-set longline fishery currently exceeds allowable levels under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). In this study, we examined longline observer data collected between 1994 and 2009, with emphasis on 2003-2009, to identify patterns of cetacean bycatch and depredation in relation to area, time, vessel, habitat variables, fishing gear, and set characteristics. The objectives of these analyses were to identify relationships amongst fishery interaction rates and variables that could provide opportunities to reduce depredation by cetaceans, reduce the likelihood of incidentally catching a cetacean when present, or reduce the severity of injuries to cetaceans if caught. The results of this study were provided to the False Killer Whale Take Reduction Team, convened under the MMPA, as they developed a plan to reduce serious injury and mortality of false killer whales in these fisheries. No correlates were identified that could markedly reduce depredation rates, but a slight (16%) reduction in repeat depredation within a fishing trip was evident when vessels moved at least 100km following a depredation event. The most practical option for reducing bycatch of false killer whales was determined to be the use of small (14/0-16/0) circle hooks, which could result in an estimated 6% reduction in bycatch and a greater likelihood of releasing animals with non-serious injuries. Additional research is needed to address unresolved questions relating to processes involved in depredation events and hookings or entanglements of false killer whales.

Microalgae are recognized as key food sources for marsh invertebrates but the importance of different groups under various conditions is rarely examined. We tested the hypothesis that faunal utilization of microalgae, and cyanobacteria in particular, is significant in Southern California created and natural salt marshes but varies with habitat type (creek bank versus marsh interior) and season (spring versus autumn). We used stable isotope analysis and mixing models (IsoSource) to compare food webs in adjacent young (created) and mature (natural) salt marshes. Isotopic values of some primary producers, macrofauna, epifauna, and fish demonstrated significant differences between the adjacent salt marshes. delta 13C and delta 34S values of the benthic microalgal community varied with taxonomic composition (diatoms versus cyanobacteria) and to a lesser extent with season. Depleted delta 15N values of benthic diatoms and macroalgae indicated that N2 fixed within algal mats was recycled within the benthic algal community. Marsh fauna, including most major macrofauna taxal, Cerithidea, and Fundulus, also exhibited seasonal differences in isotopic composition, and Cerithidea and selected macrofauna (oligochaetes, polychaetes) from the marsh interior were more enriched in 13C and depleted in 15N than those from the creek bank. In the young marsh, the cyanobacteria contributed a minimum of 17-100% of the primary production in food webs supporting macrofauna, and cyanobacteria contributed at least 40% of the primary production included in Cerithidea and Fundulus food webs. A wider range of primary producers contributed to food webs in the mature marsh. Cyanobacteria were a greater source of trophic support for macrofauna from the marsh interior than the creek bank, whereas Spartina was a more important food source for creek bank macrofauna in both marshes. Insect larvae largely consumed cyanobacteria, whereas polychaetes exhibited greater utilization of Spartina. Phytoplankton was the primary food resource for mussels in both marshes. Although the spatial and temporal complexity of food webs has traditionally been collapsed into the study of relatively simplified food webs, isotope signatures reveal fine-scale patterns in food web structure that may be used to make more accurate assessments of ecosystem state. Accurate interpretation of marsh trophic structure using natural abundance stable isotopes requires fine-scale resolution in space and time, a large number of samples, and a high level of taxonomic resolution.

This work represents the most comprehensive evaluation of oceanic OM emission inventories to date, by employing aerosol composition measurements obtained from campaigns with wide spatial and temporal coverage. The model underestimates AOD over the remote ocean on average by 0.02 (21 %), compared to satellite observations, but provides an unbiased simulation of ground-based Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN) observations. Comparison with cruise data demonstrates that the GEOS-Chem simulation of marine sulfate, with the mean observed values ranging between 0.22 mu g m super(-3) and 1.34 mu g m super(-3), is generally unbiased, however surface organic matter (OM) concentrations, with the mean observed concentrations between 0.07 mu g m super(-3) and 0.77 mu g m super(-3), are underestimated by a factor of 2-5 for the standard model run. Addition of a sub-micron marine OM source of approximately 9 TgC yr super(-1) brings the model into agreement with the ship-based measurements, however this additional OM source does not explain the model underestimate of marine AOD. The model underestimate of marine AOD is therefore likely the result of a combination of satellite retrieval bias and a missing marine aerosol source (which exhibits a different spatial pattern than existing aerosol in the model).

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - An analysis of prediction skill of monthly mean climate variability AN - 899152738; 15668182 AB - In this paper, lead-time and spatial dependence in skill for prediction of monthly mean climate variability is analyzed. The analysis is based on a set of extensive hindcasts from the Climate Forecast System at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The skill characteristics of initialized predictions is also compared with the AMIP simulations forced with the observed sea surface temperature (SST) to quantify the role of initial versus boundary conditions in the prediction of monthly means. The analysis is for prediction of monthly mean SST, precipitation, and 200-hPa height. The results show a rapid decay in skill with lead time for the atmospheric variables in the extratropical latitudes. Further, after a lead-time of approximately 30-40 days, the skill of monthly mean prediction is essentially a boundary forced problem, with SST anomalies in the tropical central/eastern Pacific playing a dominant role. Because of the larger contribution from the atmospheric internal variability to monthly time-averages (compared to seasonal averages), skill for monthly mean prediction associated with boundary forcing is also lower. The analysis indicates that the prospects of skillful prediction of monthly means may remain a challenging problem, and may be limited by inherent limits in predictability.

Significance tests are widely misused and misunderstood, and even when properly used, they are not very informative for most ecological data. Problems of misuse and misinterpretation include: (i) invalid logic; (ii) rote use; (iii) equating statistical significance with biological importance; (iv) regarding the P-value as the probability that the null hypothesis is true; (v) regarding the P-value as a measure of effect size; and (vi) regarding the P-value as a measure of evidence. Significance tests are poorly suited for inference because they pose the wrong question. In addition, most null hypotheses in ecology are point hypotheses already known to be false, so whether they are rejected or not provides little additional understanding. Ecological data rarely fit the controlled experimental setting for which significance tests were developed. More satisfactory methods of inference assess the degree of support which data provide for hypotheses, measured in terms of information theory (model-based inference), likelihood ratios (likelihood inference) or probability (Bayesian inference). Modern statistical methods allow multiple data sets to be combined into a single likelihood framework, avoiding the loss of information that can occur when data are analyzed in separate steps. Inference based on significance testing is compared with model-based, likelihood and Bayesian inference using data on an endangered porpoise, Phocoena sinus. All of the alternatives lead to greater understanding and improved inference than provided by a P-value and the associated statement of statistical significance.

To inform bycatch mitigation strategies, the number of loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) interactions was estimated for US Mid-Atlantic bottom trawl fisheries for fish and scallops. A generalized additive model of interactions was developed using 1994-2008 Northeast Fisheries Observer Program data from trawl fisheries that were not required to deploy TEDs. Predicted loggerhead interaction rates were applied to 2005-2008 commercial fishing data to estimate the number of interactions for the trawl fleet. For trawl fisheries in which TEDs were required, an experimentally-determined TED exclusion rate (97%) was applied to estimate the number of loggerheads that were excluded by TEDs. Latitude, depth, and sea surface temperature (SST) were associated with the interaction rate. Average annual interactions for 2005-2008 were estimated at 292 (CV 0.13, 95% CI 221-369) loggerheads, with an additional 61 (CV 0.17, 95% CI 41-83) excluded by TEDs. The interaction rate was highest south of latitude 37 degree N in waters 15 degree C; interaction magnitude in terms of adult equivalents was highest at latitude 37-39 degree N, depth 15 degree C. Predicted average annual loggerhead interactions decreased compared to 1996-2004, likely due to decreased commercial fishing effort in high-interaction areas. Additional sea turtle conservation measures can be informed by the high-interaction-rate and -magnitude areas identified through this analysis.

Results from the analysis show that at four of the sites, the boundary-layer height reaches its maximum in the late-spring months then surprisingly decreases during the summer months, with mean July depths almost identical to those for December. The temporal decrease in boundary-layer depth, as well as its spatial variation, is found to be consistent with the nocturnal low-level lapse rate observed at each site. Multiple forcing mechanisms that could explain the unexpected seasonal behaviour of boundary-layer depth are investigated, including solar radiation, precipitation, boundary-layer mesoscale convergence, low-level cold-air advection, local surface characteristics and irrigation patterns and synoptic-scale subsidence. Variations in solar radiation, precipitation and synoptic-scale subsidence do not explain the shallow summertime convective boundary-layer depths observed. Topographically forced cold-air advection and local land-use characteristics can help explain the shallow CBL depths at the four sites, while topographically forced low-level convergence helps maintain larger CBL depths at the fifth site near the southern end of the valley.

Fluids sampled centimeters above erupting lava and percolating through volcaniclastic sediments around an active vent have dissolved sulfite >100 mmol/kg, total dissolved sulfide 1 mmol/kg. If NW Rota is representative of submarine arc eruptions, then volcanic vent fluids from seawater-lava interaction on submarine arcs have a significant impact on the global hydrothermal flux of sulfur and Al to the oceans, but a minimal impact on Mg removal. Gas ratios (SO (sub 2) , CO (sub 2) , H (sub 2) , and He) are variable on small spatial and temporal scales, indicative of solubility fractionation and gas scrubbing. Elemental sulfur (S (sub e) ) is abundant in solid and molten form, produced primarily by disproportionation of magmatic SO (sub 2) injected into seawater. S (sub e) accumulates within the porous rock surrounding the lava conduit connecting the magma source to the seafloor. Accumulated S (sub e) can be heated, melted, and pushed upward by rising magma to produce molten S (sub e) flows and lavas saturated with S (sub e) . Molten S (sub e) near the top of the lava conduit may be ejected up into the water column by escaping gases or boiling water. This mechanism of S (sub e) accumulation and refluxing may underlie the relatively widespread occurrence of S (sub e) deposits of many sizes found on submarine arc volcanoes.

Therefore, the technologies for monitoring, analysing, evaluating and optimising the sustainability performance of manufacturing processes and systems are very critical for decision makers on the shop floor. This paper introduces a decision guidance management system that provides actionable recommendations through quantitative analysis of the sustainability measures of manufacturing processes and systems based on life cycle assessment. The system determines decision preferences through dynamically collected data and decision makers' responses, taking into account the prevailing constraints. Optimal decisions can be derived using mathematical and constraint programming. By using decision guidance query language, this methodology allows users to make optimal decisions without an extensive mathematical or operations research background. Knowledge of relational databases is sufficient for a user to formulate the optimisation problem and obtain optimal solutions. The methodology is demonstrated with a machining operation case study, in which a list of sustainability metrics are identified and sustainability modelling methods are proposed. Important sustainable machining performance measures are optimised, resulting in actionable recommendations.

The ubiquity and rate of change in marine ecosystems necessitate incorporating visions of future ecosystem states into ecosystem management strategies. Creating visions of the future enables policy makers to set realistic objectives and targets, and to explore the consequences of potential management decisions on ecosystems under multiple potential scenarios of change. Several classes of futures are used in marine ecosystem management program, and three are highlighted here: visioning, predictive models, and scenario analysis. Each approach is briefly described, and their use in current marine ecosystem management programs in North America is reviewed. In particular, the importance of using scenario analysis to identify and incorporate the influence of exogenous drivers into management strategies is highlighted. Then, some of the perils and promises associated with each approach are described, and a way forward is proposed that incorporates multiple types of future envisioning approaches into management programs. Key contributions of future analyses include highlighting connections and trade-offs among ecosystem components, setting realistic targets, and incorporating exogenous drivers, and their uncertainties, into ecosystem management programs.

Quantifying the occurrence and abundance of VME indicator taxa in research bottom-trawl samples, as well as from in situ observations with underwater photography, provides methods for detecting these ecosystems. A case study is presented in which a threshold density of indicator taxa was used as the basis for VME designation. In 2009, high densities of VME indicator taxa were encountered at eleven sites off the South Orkney Islands in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. In most cases, thresholds were exceeded by a limited number of VME indicator taxa, primarily representatives of the class Demospongiae (siliceous sponges), Hexactinellida (glass sponges) and Ascidiacea (tunicates). In situ imagery further showed the importance of bryozoans (lace corals), scleractinians (stony corals) and stylastrids (hydrocorals) in the study region. The approach outlined here, which relies on widely used sampling techniques, could be employed throughout the World Ocean to detect and document the presence of VMEs from existing datasets. To illustrate this point, the method was applied to a separate dataset, collected in 2006, from a research cruise off the northern Antarctic Peninsula, which led to the detection of seventeen VMEs. The VMEs from both the 2006 and 2009 data are now registered and influence the management of fisheries in the Southern Ocean.

In this approach, the filter is first set up directly in continuous-time; since the filter is expressed over a continuous range of lags, we also refer to them as continuous-lag filters. The second step is to discretize the filter itself. This approach applies to different problems in signal extraction, including trend or business cycle analysis, and the method allows for coherent design of discrete filters for observed data sampled as a stock or a flow, for nonstationary data with stochastic trend, and for different sampling frequencies. We derive explicit formulas for the mean squared error (MSE) optimal discretization filters. We also discuss the problem of optimal interpolation for nonstationary processes - namely, how to estimate the values of a process and its components at arbitrary times in-between the sampling times. A number of illustrations of discrete filter coefficient calculations are provided, including the local level model (LLM) trend filter, the smooth trend model (STM) trend filter, and the Band Pass (BP) filter. The essential methodology can be applied to other kinds of trend extraction problems. Finally, we provide an extended demonstration of the method on CPI flow data measured at monthly and annual sampling frequencies.

Tidal creek habitats can serve as "early warning systems" for anthropogenic stressors due to their proximity to the uplands. In this study, the macrobenthic community was sampled along the longitudinal gradient of tidal creeks (i.e., first order, second order, and third order) in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia which varied in their levels of watershed development (salt marsh, forested, suburban, and urban). This study was designed to assess the condition of macrobenthic communities in tidal creek ecosystems under varying levels of anthropogenic stressors and test whether the conclusions of a previous study in South Carolina (Holland et al., J Exp Mar Biol Ecol 298:151-178, 2004) could be generalized to the southeastern USA. Metrics of community-level and species-specific response within tidal creeks draining watersheds of varying degrees of impervious cover suggest the macrobenthic community may be a useful indicator of development in tidal creeks ecosystems. The differences observed when data from all three states were pooled was consistent with previous findings in South Carolina tidal creeks which illustrates that macrobenthic communities in tidal creeks may react to watershed development in similar patterns along the southeastern coast of the USA.

We are motivated to follow this road, as it were, and read the "signposts" along the way. Incremental structures are such signposts, representing biological rhythms as successive forming fronts in enamel and bone. A long period rhythm in humans, which occurs on average every eight to nine days, is observed in enamel as the stria of Retzius and in bone as the lamella. Because lamellae are formed within defined periods of time, quantitative measures of widths of individual lamellae provide time-resolved growth rate variability. Results obtained on primary incremental lamellar bone from midshaft femur histological sections of sub-Saharan Africans of Bantu origin and known life history reveal environmental effects heretofore unknown.

The tropical atmospheric overturning circulation strengthens in all models in a manner that is dictated by the response of the hydrological cycle to tropical cooling. This response arises from the same mechanism that has been found to explain the weakening of the tropical circulation in response to anthropogenic global warming but with opposite sign. Analysis of the model differences shows that the ascending branch of the Walker circulation strengthens via this mechanism but vertical motion also weakens over areas of the Maritime Continent exposed due to lower sea level. Each model exhibits a different balance between these two mechanisms, and the result is a Pacific Walker circulation response that is not robust. Further, even those models that simulate a stronger Walker circulation during the LGM do not simulate clear patterns of surface cooling, such as La Nina-like cooling or enhanced equatorial cooling, as proposed by previous studies. In contrast, the changes in the Walker circulation have a robust and distinctive signature on the tilt of the equatorial thermocline, as expected from zonal momentum balance. The changes in the Walker circulation also have a clear signature on the spatial pattern of the precipitation changes. A reduction of the east-west salinity contrast in the Indian Ocean is related to the precipitation changes resulting from a weakening of the Indian Walker circulation. These results indicate that proxies of thermocline depth and sea surface salinity can be used to detect actual LGM changes in the Pacific and Indian Walker circulations, respectively, and help to constrain the sensitivity of the Walker circulation to tropical cooling.

Integrating hypotheses of species, fishing, and climate relationships using ecosystem modeling AN - 1434031215; 18512639 AB - We use a dynamic ecosystem model to evaluate the relative effects of fishing history, climate change, and predator-prey interactions in determining biomass trajectories for 12 species groups ranging from marine mammals through commercially exploited fish and invertebrates in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). Ecosystem model fits under six alternative hypotheses relating fishing, climate, and predation were evaluated. Fishing alone explained few GOA biomass trajectories; it was necessary to both estimate specific predator-prey relationships and provide some mechanism for increased production. No single control hypothesis explained all species dynamics simultaneously, suggesting that in the GOA, there is no single main driver of the ecosystem. Furthermore, the alternative control hypotheses implied contrasting sets of predator-prey relationships (estimated functional response parameters). Therefore, a single set of "best fit" parameters for a given control hypothesis is unlikely to be useful in forecasting. Future modeling efforts supporting ecosystem-based fishery management could retain multiple working models to accommodate complex forcing (fishing, keystone species production, and environmental) differentially affecting components of the ecosystem.Original Abstract: Un modele ecosystemique dynamique nous a servi a evaluer les effets relatifs de l'histoire de la peche, du changement climatique et des interactions predateurs-proies sur la trajectoire des biomasses chez 12 groupes d'especes, allant de mammiferes marins jusqu'a des poissons et des invertebres exploites commercialement, dans le golfe de l'Alaska (GOA). Nous avons evalue l'ajustement du modele ecosystemique en fonction de six hypotheses de rechange qui relient la peche, le climat et la predation. La peche seule explique peu des trajectoires de biomasses du GOA; il est necessaire d'estimer des relations specifiques predateurs-proies et aussi de fournir un mecanisme quelconque pour l'accroissement de la production. Aucun mecanisme unique de controle n'explique simultanement toutes les dynamiques des especes, ce qui laisse croire que dans le GOA il n'existe pas un facteur explicatif unique de l'ecosysteme. De plus, les hypotheses de controle de rechange presupposent des series contradictoires de relations predateurs-proies (parametres estimes des reponses fonctionnelles). C'est pourquoi, il est peu vraisemblable qu'une seule serie de parametres > pour une hypothese de controle donnee puisse etre utile pour faire des predictions. Les efforts futurs de modelisation pour appuyer la gestion des peches basee sur l'ecosysteme pourraient retenir plusieurs modeles de travail afin d'accommoder le forcage complexe (peche, production des especes phares et environnement) qui affecte de maniere differente les divers compartiments de l'ecosysteme.

The goal of the system is to enable enhanced dissemination, application, and exploitation of environmental data and products for the diverse societal benefits defined by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), including agriculture, energy, health, climate, weather, disaster mitigation, biodiversity, water resources, and ecosystems. The system consists of three regional broadcasts: EUMETCast (operated by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites [EUMETSAT], covering Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia and the Americas), CMACast (operated by the China Meteorological Administration [CMA], covering Asia and parts of the Pacific), and GEONETCast Americas (operated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA], covering North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean). The GEONETCast system uses the Digital Video Broadcast-Satellite (DVB-S) or Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite-Second Generation (DVB-S2) standard over commercial communications satellites and low-cost, off-the-shelf technology to widen the access of new user groups to Earth observation information.

In their stead, the merits and shortcomings of a variety of alternate management systems, including individual transferable quotas, have been proposed, implemented, and analyzed. Few investigations, however, have examined actual fishers' preferences for different management systems. Integrating results from a mail survey of North Carolina commercial fishers with their individual harvest histories and sociodemographic profiles shows that economic and cultural variables both play a significant role in management system preference. The analysis introduces the use of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), a measure of investment diversity, as a measure of diversity in fisheries harvests and demonstrates an association with management preferences. Social and family factors are also notable indicators. Adapted from the source document.

Efforts to recover regional green turtle populations have been hampered by a lack of information on their biology. In particular, temporal patterns of diet intake and habitat use in neritic foraging areas are not well understood. Historical paradigms suggest that adult green turtles are obligate herbivores with diets consisting of seagrasses and/or marine algae. However, these insights are largely based on conventional diet analysis techniques that only yield snapshots of recently consumed foods. Stable isotope analysis has been used to determine contributions of various potential food resources to a consumer's diet, and this approach is commonly applied to identify diet composition and long-term trophic relationships of a species. In this study, we measured the stable carbon ( delta 13C) and nitrogen ( delta 15N) isotope values of 86 green turtles and seven putative prey species (e.g., algae, seagrass, invertebrates) collected from 2003 to 2008 in San Diego Bay, California, USA, an urbanized coastal bay in the temperate eastern Pacific Ocean. The delta 13C and delta 15N values in skin of green turtles in this study ranged from -18.9ppt to -13.7ppt and 11.0ppt to 19.3ppt, respectively, whereas the values for potential foods ranged from -22.6ppt to -11.5ppt for delta 13C and 10.4ppt to 15.9ppt for delta 15N. We applied a leading multisource stable isotope mixing model (Stable Isotope Analysis in R), to determine the main contributors to, and annual variation in, green turtle diet based on comparisons of isotope values of turtles and putative prey species. Mixing model outputs indicated that green turtles consumed an omnivorous diet during all years of this study. Mobile invertebrates had the greatest median dietary distribution (38%), whereas seagrasses (26%) and sessile invertebrates (12%) were also found to be major dietary contributors. Red algae and green algae were also identified as feasible prey species, although at reduced levels. When coupled with information on prey species' spatial distributions, these data also provide insights about the types of habitats visited by foraging green turtles. Local seagrass pastures appear to be of high value, serving as a major food resource and providing habitat for other green turtle prey. Protection of the remaining seagrass habitat in and around San Diego Bay is thus considered essential for local green turtle management, and restoration of degraded seagrass habitats in this highly urbanized bay should be considered a top conservation priority.

[Part 4 of 4] T2 - CHUKCHI SEA PLANNING AREA OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE 193 IN THE CHUKCHI SEA, ALASKA OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 2007). AN - 896245856; 15038-9_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The sale of oil and gas lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is reconsidered. The affected area includes the Chukchi Sea marine environment, the associated coastal plain, and the North Slope Borough of Alaska. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, Lease Sale 193 was held in February 2008 and BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. This final revised supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres and full implementation is no longer feasible. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale. Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action. Portions of Chukchi Sale 193 could be affirmed, but leases issued on tracts within Corridor I would be canceled. Alternative IV, which is the preferred alternative, is the original proposed action minus 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area designated as Corridor II. The Corridor II deferral area is a subset of the Corridor I deferral area. Alternative IV would affirm the issuance of the leases pursuant to Sale 193 as held, and would be implemented by removing the suspension of operations imposed on the leases. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the Chuckchi leases would provide enormous supplies of oil for energy production, thus increasing the nation's energy independence. Development of the Chuckchi energy resource would employ thousands of workers and otherwise boost the regional and state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would disturb benthic habitat and operational discharges would impact water quality near platforms and wells. Noise-related disturbance of fish and direct loss or degradation of fish habitat would occur. Seismic surveys, ship movements, drilling, platform and pipeline construction would affect marine mammals and could impact federally protected bird species. A VLOS, although unlikely, would present sustained and significant degradation of water quality and could emit large amounts of potentially harmful pollutants. Phytoplankton, fish species, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, polar bear, marine and coastal birds, and coastal vegetation and wetlands could be significantly impacted. Environmental justice impacts on Inupiat Natives could occur and oil-spill impacts would affect subsistence resources and harvest practices, sociocultural systems, and human health.

AN - 896211699; 15038-9_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The sale of oil and gas lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is reconsidered. The affected area includes the Chukchi Sea marine environment, the associated coastal plain, and the North Slope Borough of Alaska. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, Lease Sale 193 was held in February 2008 and BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. This final revised supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres and full implementation is no longer feasible. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale. Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action.

Preparation date: August 26, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRAY'S REEF NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY RESEARCH AREA DESIGNATION, GEORGIA. AN - 894610279; 15039 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of a research area within Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) off the coast of Georgia is proposed. The sanctuary is located 16 miles offshore of Sapelo Island, Georgia on an area of continental shelf stretching from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to Cape Canaveral, Florida called the South Atlantic Bight. Designated in 1981, GRNMS contains one of the largest nearshore live-bottom reefs in the southeastern United States and protects 22 square miles of open ocean and submerged lands of particular biological importance. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to establish a research area in GRNMS to provide for comprehensive and coordinated conservation and management of natural resources consistent with the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. Although allowable fishing gear is limited in the sanctuary, recreational fishing continues to impact the resources of GRNMS. Four boundary scenarios, several activity restrictions, and a No Action Alternative are evaluated in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, fishing and diving activities would be prohibited and vessel transit allowed only without stopping. The preferred boundary is the Southern Option Boundary, which encompasses 8.3 square miles, roughly the southern third of the sanctuary. The preferred boundary option is expected to displace a minimal number (9.2 percent) of sanctuary visitors. The research area would not be conditioned by any limit on the number of years of closure, but would be evaluated or reviewed and may be subject to change each time the GRNMS management plan is reviewed. In addition, GRNMS would conduct an annual review of usage and performance criteria of the research area. Other boundary options considered include: the Optimal Scientific Option Boundary based solely on research considerations; the Minimal User Displacement Option Boundary based on the least impact on or displacement of users; and the Compromise Option Boundary based on moderate values for both user displacement and scientific needs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A designated research area would increase the opportunity to discriminate scientifically between natural and human-induced change to species populations in the sanctuary. Implementation of the alternative to allow vessel transit through the sanctuary without stopping in the research area would facilitate enforcement. The prohibition on all fishing in the proposed research area would likely result in more abundant populations of snapper-grouper and other fish species in the long term.

AN - 16374016; 15038 AB - PURPOSE: The sale of oil and gas lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is reconsidered. The affected area includes the Chukchi Sea marine environment, the associated coastal plain, and the North Slope Borough of Alaska. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, Lease Sale 193 was held in February 2008 and BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. This final revised supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres and full implementation is no longer feasible. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale. Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action. Portions of Chukchi Sale 193 could be affirmed, but leases issued on tracts within Corridor I would be canceled. Alternative IV, which is the preferred alternative, is the original proposed action minus 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area designated as Corridor II. The Corridor II deferral area is a subset of the Corridor I deferral area. Alternative IV would affirm the issuance of the leases pursuant to Sale 193 as held, and would be implemented by removing the suspension of operations imposed on the leases. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the Chuckchi leases would provide enormous supplies of oil for energy production, thus increasing the nation's energy independence. Development of the Chuckchi energy resource would employ thousands of workers and otherwise boost the regional and state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would disturb benthic habitat and operational discharges would impact water quality near platforms and wells. Noise-related disturbance of fish and direct loss or degradation of fish habitat would occur. Seismic surveys, ship movements, drilling, platform and pipeline construction would affect marine mammals and could impact federally protected bird species. A VLOS, although unlikely, would present sustained and significant degradation of water quality and could emit large amounts of potentially harmful pollutants. Phytoplankton, fish species, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, polar bear, marine and coastal birds, and coastal vegetation and wetlands could be significantly impacted. Environmental justice impacts on Inupiat Natives could occur and oil-spill impacts would affect subsistence resources and harvest practices, sociocultural systems, and human health.

But surface temperature, or, more accurately, enthalpy which can be calculated from temperature, is only one component of the energy content of the surface atmosphere. The other parts include kinetic energy and latent heat. It has been advocated in certain quarters that ignoring additional terms somehow calls into question global surface temperature analyses. Examination of all three of these components of atmospheric energetics reveals a significant increase in global surface atmospheric energy since the 1970s. Kinetic energy has decreased but by over two orders of magnitude less than the increases in both enthalpy and latent heat which provide approximately equal contributions to the global increases in heat content. Regionally, the enthalpy or the latent heat component can dominate the change in heat content. Although generally changes in latent heat and enthalpy act in concert, in some regions they can have the opposite signs.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - SURVEILLANCE TOWED ARRAY SENSOR SYSTEM LOW FREQUENCY ACTIVE (SURTASS LFA) SONAR (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2001). AN - 894159563; 15028-9_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the 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 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 in the Ninth District Court opinion of August 26, 2003 and provided additional information related to the proposed action. A preferred alternative was identified which would exclude areas 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 draft 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 regulations. 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-decibel 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. 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.

[Part 20 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894159349; 15018-9_0020 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. All build alternatives could affect wildlife passage and would introduce light trespass, noise, and colonization by invasive species.

AN - 894158947; 15029-0_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of research and enhancement actions with the goal of conserving and recovering Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) is proposed. The Hawaiian monk seal population has experienced a prolonged decline and was listed as endangered in 1976. The most recent (2009) best estimate of total abundance is 1,125 seals. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recovery plan for the species identified numerous threats to the survival of Hawaiian monk seals including starvation, predation of pups by sharks, entanglement in marine debris, and threatened terrestrial habitat due to sea level rise. Low juvenile survival over the past two decades is the primary cause of the populations decline which will likely continue without intervention. Enhancement activities are being considered to improve juvenile survival and the overall health of the population. Issues identified during scoping include concerns regarding bringing young seals to the MHI and returning them to the NWHI, Native Hawaiian beliefs and culture, fisheries interactions, and human-seal encounters. Four alternatives are evaluated in this draft programmatic EIS. Under the status quo alternative (Alternative 1), activities would be carried out as currently permitted including: population assessment, health and disease studies, foraging studies, de-worming research, translocation of weaned pups within the NWHI, mitigation of fishery interactions (e.g., disentanglement, removal of hooks), and mitigation of adult male aggression (e.g., removal of aggressive males). Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), the above-mentioned research and enhancement activities would stop in 2014 when the current permit expires and no new permits would be issued. Alternative 3 would continue all currently permitted activities, but would also include: expanding the scope and number of seal translocations including moving seals from the MHI to NWHI; research and development of tools for modifying undesirable seal behavior related to interactions with humans and fishing gear in the MHI; potential implementation of deworming; supplementing monk seal diet using feeding stations in NWHI locations; vaccination studies and potential use of vaccines; chemical alteration of aggressive male monk seal behavior using a testosterone suppressant; and expanded surveys and use of new tools such as remote cameras and unmanned remotely operated aircraft. Translocations of young animals from the NWHI to the MHI would not be permitted. Alternative 4, the enhanced implementation alternative, is the preferred alternative and would encompass all the activities under Alternative 3, with the additional option to temporarily translocate weaned pups from the NWHI to the MHI to improve survival. At age three years, surviving translocated seals would be returned to the NWHI. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions could address the Hawaiian monk seal population decline of about 4.5 percent each year. The preferred alternative encompasses the range of actions considered most promising to prevent the extinction of the species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Direct and indirect mortality and reproductive effects may result from disturbance, capture, and handling of seals. Assuming the maximum allowed mortality impact, alternatives 3 and 4 would result in an estimated 34 fewer seals in the population at the end of 10 years. Use of vessels could result in a small number of individual sea turtles, spinner dolphins or humpback whales being disturbed and airplane flight activities could also have minor adverse effects on birds.

AN - 894158939; 15029-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of research and enhancement actions with the goal of conserving and recovering Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) is proposed. The Hawaiian monk seal population has experienced a prolonged decline and was listed as endangered in 1976. The most recent (2009) best estimate of total abundance is 1,125 seals. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recovery plan for the species identified numerous threats to the survival of Hawaiian monk seals including starvation, predation of pups by sharks, entanglement in marine debris, and threatened terrestrial habitat due to sea level rise. Low juvenile survival over the past two decades is the primary cause of the populations decline which will likely continue without intervention. Enhancement activities are being considered to improve juvenile survival and the overall health of the population. Issues identified during scoping include concerns regarding bringing young seals to the MHI and returning them to the NWHI, Native Hawaiian beliefs and culture, fisheries interactions, and human-seal encounters. Four alternatives are evaluated in this draft programmatic EIS. Under the status quo alternative (Alternative 1), activities would be carried out as currently permitted including: population assessment, health and disease studies, foraging studies, de-worming research, translocation of weaned pups within the NWHI, mitigation of fishery interactions (e.g., disentanglement, removal of hooks), and mitigation of adult male aggression (e.g., removal of aggressive males). Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), the above-mentioned research and enhancement activities would stop in 2014 when the current permit expires and no new permits would be issued. Alternative 3 would continue all currently permitted activities, but would also include: expanding the scope and number of seal translocations including moving seals from the MHI to NWHI; research and development of tools for modifying undesirable seal behavior related to interactions with humans and fishing gear in the MHI; potential implementation of deworming; supplementing monk seal diet using feeding stations in NWHI locations; vaccination studies and potential use of vaccines; chemical alteration of aggressive male monk seal behavior using a testosterone suppressant; and expanded surveys and use of new tools such as remote cameras and unmanned remotely operated aircraft. Translocations of young animals from the NWHI to the MHI would not be permitted. Alternative 4, the enhanced implementation alternative, is the preferred alternative and would encompass all the activities under Alternative 3, with the additional option to temporarily translocate weaned pups from the NWHI to the MHI to improve survival. At age three years, surviving translocated seals would be returned to the NWHI. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions could address the Hawaiian monk seal population decline of about 4.5 percent each year. The preferred alternative encompasses the range of actions considered most promising to prevent the extinction of the species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Direct and indirect mortality and reproductive effects may result from disturbance, capture, and handling of seals. Assuming the maximum allowed mortality impact, alternatives 3 and 4 would result in an estimated 34 fewer seals in the population at the end of 10 years. Use of vessels could result in a small number of individual sea turtles, spinner dolphins or humpback whales being disturbed and airplane flight activities could also have minor adverse effects on birds. Increased translocation of seals from MHI to NWHI may increase spread of invasive species, but potential effects would be mitigated through strict protocols.

[Part 10 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894158803; 15018-9_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. All build alternatives could affect wildlife passage and would introduce light trespass, noise, and colonization by invasive species.

[Part 7 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894158764; 15018-9_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. All build alternatives could affect wildlife passage and would introduce light trespass, noise, and colonization by invasive species.

[Part 5 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894158711; 15018-9_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. All build alternatives could affect wildlife passage and would introduce light trespass, noise, and colonization by invasive species.

[Part 12 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894158681; 15018-9_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected.

[Part 11 of 28] T2 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 894158654; 15018-9_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected.

Preparation date: August 19, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HAWAIIAN MONK SEAL RECOVERY ACTIONS, HAWAII. AN - 893260194; 15029 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of research and enhancement actions with the goal of conserving and recovering Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) is proposed. The Hawaiian monk seal population has experienced a prolonged decline and was listed as endangered in 1976. The most recent (2009) best estimate of total abundance is 1,125 seals. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recovery plan for the species identified numerous threats to the survival of Hawaiian monk seals including starvation, predation of pups by sharks, entanglement in marine debris, and threatened terrestrial habitat due to sea level rise. Low juvenile survival over the past two decades is the primary cause of the populations decline which will likely continue without intervention. Enhancement activities are being considered to improve juvenile survival and the overall health of the population. Issues identified during scoping include concerns regarding bringing young seals to the MHI and returning them to the NWHI, Native Hawaiian beliefs and culture, fisheries interactions, and human-seal encounters. Four alternatives are evaluated in this draft programmatic EIS. Under the status quo alternative (Alternative 1), activities would be carried out as currently permitted including: population assessment, health and disease studies, foraging studies, de-worming research, translocation of weaned pups within the NWHI, mitigation of fishery interactions (e.g., disentanglement, removal of hooks), and mitigation of adult male aggression (e.g., removal of aggressive males). Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative 2), the above-mentioned research and enhancement activities would stop in 2014 when the current permit expires and no new permits would be issued. Alternative 3 would continue all currently permitted activities, but would also include: expanding the scope and number of seal translocations including moving seals from the MHI to NWHI; research and development of tools for modifying undesirable seal behavior related to interactions with humans and fishing gear in the MHI; potential implementation of deworming; supplementing monk seal diet using feeding stations in NWHI locations; vaccination studies and potential use of vaccines; chemical alteration of aggressive male monk seal behavior using a testosterone suppressant; and expanded surveys and use of new tools such as remote cameras and unmanned remotely operated aircraft. Translocations of young animals from the NWHI to the MHI would not be permitted. Alternative 4, the enhanced implementation alternative, is the preferred alternative and would encompass all the activities under Alternative 3, with the additional option to temporarily translocate weaned pups from the NWHI to the MHI to improve survival. At age three years, surviving translocated seals would be returned to the NWHI. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions could address the Hawaiian monk seal population decline of about 4.5 percent each year. The preferred alternative encompasses the range of actions considered most promising to prevent the extinction of the species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Direct and indirect mortality and reproductive effects may result from disturbance, capture, and handling of seals. Assuming the maximum allowed mortality impact, alternatives 3 and 4 would result in an estimated 34 fewer seals in the population at the end of 10 years. Use of vessels could result in a small number of individual sea turtles, spinner dolphins or humpback whales being disturbed and airplane flight activities could also have minor adverse effects on birds.

Preparation date: August 19, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SURVEILLANCE TOWED ARRAY SENSOR SYSTEM LOW FREQUENCY ACTIVE (SURTASS LFA) SONAR (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2001). AN - 893260192; 15028 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the 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 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 in the Ninth District Court opinion of August 26, 2003 and provided additional information related to the proposed action. A preferred alternative was identified which would exclude areas 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 draft 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 regulations. 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-decibel 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. 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.

Preparation date: August 19, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CROSSTOWN PARKWAY EXTENSION, NEW BRIDGE CROSSING OF THE NORTH FORK ST. LUCIE RIVER, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 16385384; 15018 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the existing Crosstown Parkway by approximately two miles, from Manth Lane on the west, across the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) to US 1 on the east, in Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered on the north by Fallon Drive, on the south by Thornhill Drive, on the west by Manth Lane, and on the east by US 1. The two existing crossings of the NFSLR at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Prima Vista Boulevard are experiencing delays and will not be able to meet the projected travel demand across the NFSLR in the future. Forecasts indicate that the combined traffic volume crossing the NFSLR will increase from 104,680 vehicles in 2008 to 156,000 in 2037. This draft EIS considers a No Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a multimodal alternative, and six build alternatives which include a bridge over the NFSLR. Alternative 2A would connect Crosstown Parkway via Walters Terrace west of the NFSLR to Veterans Memorial Parkway (formerly known as Midport Road) east of the NFSLR, and ultimately connect with US 1 at the existing signalized intersection with Veterans Memorial Parkway/Walton Road. Alternative 2D would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, then connect to Walters Terrace via Floresta Drive. Traffic would be required to make a right turn and a left turn at the two intersections along Floresta Drive to make the connection to US 1. Alternative 1C would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive west of the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Village Green Drive. Alternative 1F would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive, then curve northeast to connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6B is similar to Alternative 1F, and would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive, but would then curve northeast and cross the NFSLR north of Alternative 1F. It would connect with US 1 at a new intersection between Village Green Drive and Savanna Club Boulevard. Alternative 6A would extend Crosstown Parkway along West Virginia Drive to Floresta Drive and curve north and then east across the NFSLR to the existing intersection of US 1 and Savanna Club Boulevard. Total costs of constructing the build alternatives are estimated in 2009 dollars at $118.9 to $167.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would address severe traffic congestion within the City of Port St. Lucie, particularly at the two existing bridges over the NFSLR which already exceed their capacity and operate below acceptable levels at critical times of the day. The project would also benefit public safety by providing an additional evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project area is within the boundaries of the NFSLR Aquatic Preserve and the Savannas Preserve State Park. Construction would impact eight to 10.9 acres of wetlands, 140 to 231 residences, and zero to 14 commercial properties. Six listed species (mangrove rivulus, smalltooth sawfish, opossum pipefish, eastern indigo snake, wood stork, and the West Indian manatee) may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected. All build alternatives could affect wildlife passage and would introduce light trespass, noise, and colonization by invasive species.

Even though the imaging mechanisms for SAR and MODIS-Aqua remote sensing are different, the sand ridges are shown to have exactly the same patterns in images from both sensors. Therefore, the location, extension and coverage of the ocean sand ridges can be detected and cross-examined by both SAR and MODIS-Aqua observations. Satellite images show quite different sand ridge distribution pattern from the published bathymetry map (based on in situ data) that shows six sand ridges in the area. 10 finger-shaped sand ridges are identified from satellite observations. The tidal-current/sand-ridge interaction driven physical and optical changes are assessed and evaluated. The existence of sand ridges causes enhanced water diffuse attenuation coefficient K d (490) and elevated normalized water-leaving radiance at the red and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. The sea surface over the sand ridges experiences significant seasonal variability of water turbidity and shows remarkable differences from nearby ocean regions. During winter, K d (490) values are about 2-3m-1 over the ridges, while the maximum K d (490) in the neighboring oceans is approximately 1.5m-1. In summer, the enhancement of the sea surface turbidity is less significant than that which occurs in winter.

These measurements were part of the collaborative Greenland Summit Halogen-HO sub(x) experiment (GSHOX) campaigns investigating the importance of halogen chemistry in this remote environment. Significant levels of BrO (1-5 pptv) in the near surface air were often accompanied by diurnal dips in gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), and in-situ production of reactive gaseous mercury (RGM). While halogen (i.e. Br) chemistry is normally associated with marine boundary layers, at Summit, Greenland, far from any marine source, we have conclusively detected bromine and mercury chemistry in the near surface air. The likely fate of the formed mercury-bromine radical (HgBr) is further oxidation to stable RGM (HgBr sub(2), HgBrOH, HgBrCl...), or thermal decomposition. These fates appear to be controlled by the availability of Br, OH, Cl, etc. to produce RGM (Hg(II)), versus the lifetime of HgBr by thermal dissociation. At Summit, the production of RGM appears to require a sun elevation angle of >5 degrees, and an air temperature of 2), requires a sun angle >5 degrees, while the formation of RGM from HgBr requires a temperature Final Revised Paper (PDF, 780 KB) Discussion Paper (ACPD) Special Issue Citation: Brooks, S., Moore, C., Lew, D., Lefer, B., Huey, G., and Tanner, D.: Temperature and sunlight controls of mercury oxidation and deposition atop the Greenland ice sheet, Atmos.

Our analysis uses high-quality satellite and in situ ocean data combined with wind data from atmospheric reanalyses for the past 31 years (1980-2010). We find changes in background conditions that are opposite to those expected from greenhouse gas forcing in climate models and opposite to what is expected if changes in the background state are mediating more frequent occurrences of CP El Ninos. A plausible interpretation of these results is that the character of El Nino over the past 31 years has varied naturally and that these variations projected onto changes in the background state because of the asymmetric spatial structures of CP and EP El Ninos.

This model tracks the complete distribution of individual chain lengths, both enzyme-bound and in solution, and successfully predicts monomer conversion and the molecular mass distribution as a function of reaction time. As compared to reported experimental data for polymerization reactions, modeled kinetics generate similar trends, with ring-opening rates and water concentration as key factors to controlling molecular mass distributions. Water is critically important by dictating the number of linear chains in solution, shifting the molecular mass distribution at which propagation and degradation equilibrate. For the enzymatic degradation of poly( Delta *e-caprolactone), the final reaction product is also consistent with the equilibrium dictated by the propagation and degradation rates.

Aircraft observations from the Aerosol, Radiation, and Cloud Processes affecting Arctic Climate (ARCPAC) study in northern Alaska in April 2008 allow for identification and characterization of both aerosol and trace gas pollutants, which are then compared with cloud microphysical properties. Consistent with previous studies, we find that the concentration of precipitating ice particles (>400 mu m) is correlated with the concentration of large droplets (>30 mu m). We are further able to link the observed microphysical conditions to aerosol pollution, originating mainly from long range transport of biomass burning emissions. The case studies demonstrate that polluted mixed-phase clouds have narrower droplet size distributions and contain 1-2 orders of magnitude fewer precipitating ice particles than clean clouds at the same temperature. This suggests an aerosol indirect effect leading to greater cloud lifetime, greater cloud emissivity, and reduced precipitation. This result is opposite to the glaciation indirect effect, whereby polluted clouds are expected to precipitate more readily due to an increase in the concentration of particles acting as ice nuclei.

However, quantifying the spatial distribution of this energy flux, which is required for ocean and climate modeling, has been largely based on modeling efforts and there is a need for validating observations. The summer development of large blooms of chlorophyll along 30 degree N in the E. Pacific is presented as evidence of enhanced tidal mixing. The region near 30 degree is a "double" critical latitude, with a transformation of internal waves occurring at both diurnal and semidiurnal frequencies. The breakdown at the critical latitude of internal waves generated at Hawaii could provide the physical mechanism to explain these blooms. The blooms develop in a region characterized by a weak summer surface stratification, which is therefore more susceptible to mixing.

Anthropogenic emissions of non-CO sub(2) greenhouse gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide and ozone-depleting substances (largely from sources other than fossil fuels), also contribute significantly to warming. Some non-CO sub(2) greenhouse gases have much shorter lifetimes than CO sub(2), so reducing their emissions offers an additional opportunity to lessen future climate change. Although it is clear that sustainably reducing the warming influence of greenhouse gases will be possible only with substantial cuts in emissions of CO sub(2), reducing non-CO sub(2) greenhouse gas emissions would be a relatively quick way of contributing to this goal.

Although many aspects of S. squammosus life history and population dynamics were similar to those of other scyllarids, somatic growth differed from its congers. Scyllarides squammosus growth abruptly declined at maturity and, because of this, growth at length was better described using the Schnute as opposed to the more commonly von Bertalanffy growth model. Growth varied among locations, and survival varied among years; thereby being the first documentation of variability in the life history of a scyllarid. This study has expanded knowledge of scyllarid biology and documented that spatiotemporal variability in biological characteristics must be considered to understand and describe the population ecology of this species and probably of other scyllarids.

ESA Issue Brief #04-11 AN - 964169923; ED523766 AB - The science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce is crucial to America's innovative capacity and global competitiveness. Yet women are vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs and among STEM degree holders despite making up nearly half of the U.S. workforce and half of the college-educated workforce. That leaves an untapped opportunity to expand STEM employment in the United States, even as there is wide agreement that the nation must do more to improve its competitiveness. There are many possible factors contributing to the discrepancy of women and men in STEM jobs, including: a lack of female role models, gender stereotyping, and less family-friendly flexibility in the STEM fields. Regardless of the causes, the findings of this report provide evidence of a need to encourage and support women in STEM.

This was the first circumferential dike intrusion ever observed by both InSAR and GPS measurements and thus provides an opportunity to determine the subsurface geometry of these enigmatic structures that are common on Galapagos volcanoes but are rare elsewhere. Pre- and post-eruption ground deformation between 2002 and 2006 can be modeled by the inflation of two separate magma reservoirs beneath the caldera: a shallow sill at nearly equal 1 km depth and a deeper point-source at nearly equal 5 km depth, and we infer that this system also existed at the time of the 2005 eruption. The co-eruption deformation is dominated by uplift near the 2005 eruptive fissures, superimposed on a broad subsidence centered on the caldera. Modeling of the co-eruption deformation was performed by including various combinations of planar dislocations to simulate the 2005 circumferential dike intrusion. We found that a single planar dike could not match both the InSAR and GPS data. Our best-fit model includes three planar dikes connected along hinge lines to simulate a curved concave shell that is steeply dipping ( nearly equal 45-60 degrees ) toward the caldera at the surface and more gently dipping ( nearly equal 12-14 degrees ) at depth where it connects to the horizontal sub-caldera sill. The shallow sill is underlain by the deep point source. The geometry of this modeled magmatic system is consistent with the petrology of Fernandina lavas, which suggest that circumferential eruptions tap the shallowest parts of the system, whereas radial eruptions are fed from deeper levels. The recent history of eruptions at Fernandina is also consistent with the idea that circumferential and radial intrusions are sometimes in a stress-feedback relationship and alternate in time with one another.

The schemes include WSM6, Goddard, Ferrier, Thompson, SBU-Lin, WDM6, Milbrandt-Yau, and Morrison. The WSM6, WDM6, Ferrier, and Milbrandt-Yau forecasts are more convective in appearance with narrow snow bands that wobble back and forth near the coastline. The 24-h accumulated precipitation maxima in these forecasts is comparatively high (up to 94 mm). In the remaining forecasts, the snow bands are broader and 24-h maxima are more modest (ranging from 43 to 50 mm). There is no obvious distinction between single- and double-moment schemes. Rather, the apparent cause for differences rests in the comparatively high production of graupel (or heavily rimed particles) by the WSM6, WDM6, Ferrier, and Milbrandt-Yau schemes. The faster fall speeds of these particles allows for decreased downstream advection and higher local accumulations. Differences in the amount of sublimation-cooling also appear to be important for generating stronger downdrafts and the more convective appearance in these forecasts.

The implementation schedule calls for the RR to replace the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) later this year as the primary National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) model source for forecasts of high-impact aviation weather over the CONUS. The RR domain will cover all of North America (including Alaska) and adjacent ocean areas with 13km horizontal grid spacing. The RR will update with an hourly assimilation cycle, same as the RUC. In addition, work toward improving explicit prediction of convection and mesoscale convective systems by the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) has greatly accelerated since additional computing resources became available in the fall of 2010. HRRR will cover CONUS with a storm-resolving 3-km horizontal grid, and use the WRF-ARW model to make forecasts every hour out to 15 hours. Initial and lateral-boundary conditions for the HRRR are now provided by the RR, so there is a close coupling between the initial conditions for the HRRR and the data assimilation used in the RR. For both the RR and HRRR, a two-pronged and strongly coupled effort has concentrated on 1) the data assimilation for the RR and on 2) the physics in the WRF-ARW model. This paper will focus on the latter. For the RR, we are using the Goddard short-wave and the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTM) long-wave radiation schemes, the RUC Land-Surface model (RUC-LSM) for prediction of soil temperature and moisture, and snow cover to give surface fluxes, the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) surface and boundary layer parameterization for turbulent vertical fluxes by sub-grid eddies, the Grell "G3" scheme for deep and shallow convection, and the Thompson microphysics for grid-scale cloud and precipitation. Motivated by the need for a better performance over the Arctic, and toward overcoming problems with snow ablation that result in systematic temperature biases, as well as a need to improve our wind forecasts at low levels for wind-energy forecasting applications, we have - added sea ice into the RUC LSM, including accumulation and ablation of snow on the ice; - modified treatment of snow over land areas to improve evolution of the snow cover, including melting; - extensively modified, tested and evaluated the Mellor-Yamada-Nakanishi-Niino (MYNN) surface and boundary-layer schemes as possible replacements for the MYJ. For the HRRR, we are using the same physics as for the RR, except without parameterization for convection. Here our main physics-related activities have been directed toward overcoming deficiencies in HRRR forecasts for CoSPA noted during the 2010 convection season. These include insufficient propagation and sometimes insufficient longevity of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), and delayed initiation and poor coverage of weakly sheared convective storms over the southeast US during summer. In addition to the work toward modification of the MYNN boundary and surface-layer schemes noted above, which stands to benefit low-level wind forecasting by the HRRR for wind-energy applications, we have determined that use of the 6th order diffusion was partly responsible for the deficiencies of the HRRR in predicting southeast US convection, and are exploring the role of the microphysics as a source of poor performance on prediction of MCSs.

The use of these tributaries is not well known. We determined the presence of juvenile Chinook salmon in 12 tributaries through nighttime snorkel surveys from March to June. At one heavily-used tributary, we determined their temporal and spatial distribution by conducting surveys every two to three weeks from February to June. Additionally, we determined whether delta areas of tributaries are used by juvenile Chinook salmon by comparing their density and diet to other lakeshore sites. Of 12 streams surveyed, juvenile Chinook salmon were observed in eight. The abundance of Chinook salmon appeared to be related to a variety of factors including proximity to the natal stream, stream gradient, and stream size. In an intensively-monitored stream, juvenile Chinook salmon were found primarily in shallow areas in February and March and then shifted to deeper pools as juveniles increased in size. Within the lake nearshore area, juvenile Chinook salmon commonly used delta areas of nonnatal tributaries and their abundance was frequently greater than other nearby shoreline sites. Diet analysis indicated nonnatal streams are also a source of prey for lake-dwelling juvenile Chinook salmon, especially during rain events. Nonnatal tributaries in lake systems appeared to be valuable habitat features for juvenile Chinook salmon and can function in a variety of ways, including providing both stream and delta habitat.

A difficulty in multihazard design for wind and earthquake is that the load and resistance factor method makes use of different design philosophies developed by different subdisciplines. Seismic design explicitly allows for inelastic behavior. In contrast, wind design assumes that, before application of a resistance factor less than unity, the limit state is defined by the development of the first plastic hinge in a structural member. This paper focuses on the issue of risk consistency in multihazard design, and shows that, in spite of this difficulty, it is possible to quantify the risks of arriving at a particular lateral drift state for structures exposed to multiple nonsimultaneous hazards and to compare them to the risks for the same structures subjected to a single hazard. A second focus is the issue of multihazard design synergy. It has been pointed out that redetailing a building to current seismic codes can increase its resistance to blast and that structural efficiency and life-cycle cost are influenced by multihazard considerations. This paper shows that, for the case study of a 10-story steel-frame building, the use of reduced beam section (RBS) connections, intended to enhance ductility in seismic design, does not reduce the risk of structural damage caused by exposure to wind alone or exposure to wind or earthquakes.

Detailed analysis was performed on the evolution of the soil moisture vertical profile. Over Illinois, model simulations are compared to observations, but for the United States as a whole some impressions can be gained by comparing the multiple soil moisture-precipitation-evaporation-runoff datasets to one another. The magnitudes and partitioning of major land surface water balance components on seasonal-interannual time scales have been explored. It appears that evaporation has the most prominent annual cycle but its interannual variability is relatively small. For other water balance components, such as precipitation, runoff, and surface water storage change, the amplitudes of their annual cycles and interannual variations are comparable. This study indicates that all models have a certain capability to reproduce observed soil moisture variability on seasonal-interannual time scales, but offline runs are decidedly better than reanalyses (in terms of validation against observations) and more highly correlated to one another (in terms of intercomparison) in general. However, noticeable differences are also observed, such as the degree of simulated drought severity and the locations affected-this is due to the uncertainty in model physics, input forcing, and mode of running (interactive or offline), which continue to be major issues for land surface modeling.

Most stomachs contained only one or two prey types, suggesting active prey selection. Post-smolts that lived in the river longer (i.e. from naturally reared and parr-stocked origins) were smaller and consumed more fishes than invertebrates compared to larger post-smolts that emigrated immediately post-stocking (i.e. from smolt-stocked origins). Naturally reared S. salar consumed c. 84% fishes and 16% crustaceans and parr-stocked S. salar consumed 64% fishes and 34% crustaceans. Stocked smolts consumed 48% fishes and 40% crustaceans. Differences in the type and quantity of consumed prey may be indicative of behavioural differences among rearing origins that influence post-smolt survival.

As these waters age and are advected offshore, CO2 levels decrease dramatically, falling well below the atmospheric concentration beyond the continental shelf break. In May 2007 we observed an upwelling event off the coast of northern California. During the upwelling event subsurface respiration along the upwelling path added 35 mu molkg-1 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to the water as it transited toward shore causing the waters to become undersaturated with respect to Aragonite. Within the mixed layer, pCO2 levels were reduced by the biological uptake of DIC (up to 70%), gas exchange (up to 44%), and the addition of total alkalinity through CaCO3 dissolution in the undersaturated waters (up to 23%). The percentage contribution of each of these processes was dependent on distance from shore. At the time of measurement, a phytoplankton bloom was just beginning to develop over the continental shelf. A box model was used to project the evolution of the water chemistry as the bloom developed. The biological utilization of available nitrate resulted in a DIC decrease of 200 mu molkg-1, sea surface pCO2 near 200ppm, and an aragonite saturation state of 3. These results suggest that respiration processes along the upwelling path generally increase the acidification of the waters that are being upwelled, but once the waters reach the surface biological productivity and gas exchange reduce that acidification over time.

During the campaigns the NASA DC-8, P-3B and NOAA WP-3D aircraft conducted over 160 h of in-situ sampling between 0.1 and 12 km throughout the Western Arctic north of 55 degree N (i.e. Alaska to Greenland). All aircraft were equipped with multiple wavelength measurements of aerosol optics, trace gas and aerosol chemistry measurements, as well as direct measurements of the aerosol size distributions and black carbon mass. Late April of 2008 proved to be exceptional in terms of Asian biomass burning emissions transported to the Western Arctic. Though these smoke plumes account for only 11-14 % of the samples within the Western Arctic domain, they account for 42-47 % of the total burden of black carbon. Dust was also commonly observed but only contributes to 4-12 % and 3-8 % of total light absorption at 470 and 530 nm wavelengths above 6 km. Below 6 km, light absorption by carbonaceous aerosol derived from urban/industrial and biomass burning emissions account for 97-99 % of total light absorption by aerosol. Stratifying the data to reduce the influence of dust allows us to determine mass absorption efficiencies for black carbon of 11.2+/-0.8, 9.5+/-0.6 and 7.4+/-0.7 m super(2) g super(-1) at 470, 530 and 660 nm wavelengths. These estimates are consistent with 35-80 % enhancements in 530 nm absorption due to clear or slightly absorbing coatings of pure black carbon particulate. Assuming a 1/ lambda wavelength dependence for BC absorption, and assuming that refractory aerosol (420 degree C, tau = 0.1 s) in low-dust samples is dominated by brown carbon, we derive mass absorption efficiencies for brown carbon of 0.83+/-0.15 and 0.27+/-0.08 m super(2) g super(-1) at 470 and 530 nm wavelengths. Estimates for the mass absorption efficiencies of Asian dust are 0.034 m super(2) g super(-1) and 0.017 m super(2) g super(-1). However the absorption efficiency estimates for dust are highly uncertain due to the limitations imposed by PSAP instrument noise. In-situ ARCTAS/ARCPAC measurements during the IPY provide valuable constraints for absorbing aerosol over the Western Arctic, species which are currently poorly simulated over a region that is critically under-sampled.

Patterns of extra-pair copulation, multiple paternity and parental genotype analysis may elucidate population characteristics that help improve knowledge of life history while informing management decisions. During the course of a long-term study of leatherback turtles, we assessed the level of multiple paternity in successive clutches for 12 known females nesting at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge (St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands). We used seven polymorphic microsatellite markers to genotype the females and 1,019 hatchlings representing 38 nests (3-4 clutches from each female). Using deductive genotype reconstruction and GERUD1.0, we identified the 12 mothers and 17 different fathers that were responsible for 38 nests. We found that seven females (58.3%) showed no evidence of multiple paternity in their clutches, while five females (41.7%) had mated with two males each. There was evidence of two fathers (polyandry) in successive clutches for these five females. Multiple fathers didn't contribute to clutches equally. For clutches laid by an individual female, the primary father was responsible for 53.7 to 85.9% of the hatchlings. We demonstrate the feasibility of using male genotype reconstruction to characterize the male component of this breeding population and to assess operational sex ratios for breeding sea turtles.

Using measurements made from three urban/suburban sites during the BUBBLE field campaign in 2002, the model's performance in modelling surface fluxes (momentum flux, net radiation, sensible and latent heat fluxes and storage heat flux) and canopy air conditions (canopy air temperature and specific humidity) was critically evaluated for the non-precipitation and the precipitation days. The observed surface fluxes at the urban/suburban sites were significantly altered by precipitation as well as urban vegetation. Especially, the storage heat at urban surfaces and underlying substrates varied drastically depending on weather conditions while having an important role in the formation of a nocturnal urban surface layer. Unlike the nighttime canopy air temperature that was largely affected by the storage-heat release, the daytime canopy air conditions were highly influenced by the vertical turbulent exchange with the overlying atmosphere. The VUCM well reproduced these observed features in surface fluxes and canopy air conditions at all sites while performing well for both the non-precipitation and the precipitation days. The newly implemented parametrizations clearly improved the model's performance in the simulation of sensible and latent heat fluxes at the sites, more noticeably at the suburban site where the vegetated area fraction is the largest among the sites. Sensitivity analyses for model input parameters in VUCM elucidated the relative importance of the morphological, aerodynamic, hydrological and radiative/thermal properties in modelling urban surface fluxes and canopy air conditions for daytime and nighttime periods. These results suggest that the VUCM has great potential for urban atmospheric numerical modelling for a range of cities and weather conditions in addition to having a better physical basis in the representation of urban vegetated areas and associated physical processes.

However, governments often do not have sufficient support to privatize SOEs. We provide evidence that threatening privatization and market competition (entry of new firms) can increase the productivity of SOEs, even though privatization and entry of new firms does not occur. We study productivity at Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras. Petrobras's total factor productivity increased sharply after it lost its legal monopoly, doubling in 6years. These large gains occurred despite the fact that Petrobras faced no immediate de facto competition. The threat of competition and privatization was sufficient to generate large productivity gains. These findings suggest that changing the competitive environment can be a powerful force for improving productivity at state-owned firms.

However, there is another, less recognized aspect of the built environment: the embodied energy of buildings, which represents the energy consumed in construction, including the entire life cycle of materials used. Architects and structural engineers extensively perform designs of buildings with steel and reinforced concrete-materials that, to different degrees, are energy intensive. This presents an opportunity to use structural optimization techniques, which have traditionally been employed to minimize the total cost or total weight of a structure, to minimize the embodied energy. With this in mind, an analysis is carried out to determine the implications, from the point of view of cost, of optimizing a simple reinforced concrete structural member, in this case a rectangular beam of fixed moment and shear strengths, such that embodied energy is minimized. For the embodied energy and cost values assumed, results indicate a reduction on the order of 10% in embodied energy for an increase on the order of 5% in costs.

AN - 1762130175; 15848015 AB - Large river systems provide a multitude of services, including biological production from river ecosystems, affordable and reliable transportation of commerce, and municipal and industrial water supplies, to name just a few. Two services that are especially important are food supply from fisheries and hydropower production. However, there exists a conflict between hydropower and fisheries production because water resource development has significant effects on the structure and function of river ecosystems (Ward and Stanford 1979; Winston et al. 1991; Reyes-Gavilan et al. 1996; WCD 2001; FAO 2005). Indeed, considerable attention has been focused recently on the effect of development over the past century on riverine environments, as well as the attendant attributes it has delivered to society (e.g., NRC 1996, McCully 2001; Scudder 2005).

The aim of the present study was to prepare better-dispersed nano-CaF2 particles by co-forming a soluble salt, sodium chloride (NaCl). NaCl of various concentrations were added to the NH4F solution, leading to formation of (CaF2+NaCl) composites with CaF2/NaCl molar ratios of 4/1, 4/4, and 4/16. Pure nano-CaF2 was also prepared as the control. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the products contained crystalline CaF2 and NaCl. Scanning electron microscopy examinations showed that both the CaF2/NaCl composite and pure CaF2 particles were about (50-800) nm in size and consisted of primary CaF2 particles of < 50 nm in size. BET surface area measurements showed similar primary particle sizes for all samples. Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that the washed (CaF2+NaCl) particles were much smaller than the pure CaF2 as the dissolution of NaCl 'freed' most of the primary CaF2 particles, leading to a greater degree of particle dispersion. The well-dispersed nano-CaF2 may be expected to be a more effective anticaries agent than NaF by providing longer lasting elevations of fluoride concentrations in oral fluids. ? 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The case study is the major flood in Iowa in summer 2008. A new Polarisation Ratio Variation Index (PRVI) was developed based on a multi-temporal analysis of 37 GHz satellite imagery from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) to calculate and detect anomalies in soil moisture and/or inundated areas. The Robust Satellite Technique (RST) which is a change detection approach based on the analysis of historical satellite records was adopted. A rating curve has been developed to assess the relationship between PRVI values and discharge observations downstream. A time-lag term has been introduced and adjusted to account for the changing delay between PRVI and streamflow. Moreover, the Kalman filter has been used to update the rating curve parameters in near real time. The temporal variability of the b exponent in the rating curve formula shows that it converges toward a constant value. A consistent 21-day time lag, very close to an estimate of the time of concentration, was obtained. The agreement between observed discharge downstream and estimated discharge with and without parameters adjustment was 65 and 95%, respectively. This demonstrates the interesting role that passive microwave can play in monitoring flooding and wetness conditions and estimating key hydrologic parameters.

AN - 888696748; 14995-5_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to fund the Yakama Nation's Klickitat Hatchery Complex Program, located in Klickitat and Yakima counties, Washington. The intent of the proposed changes to the salmon and steelhead hatchery programs in the Klickitat subbasin is to increase the abundance of spring Chinook and steelhead natural spawning, decrease impacts of the non-native fall Chinook and coho programs, and increase harvest opportunities for Yakama Nation tribal members and others. These changes would result in modification of the Klickitat Hatchery, located seven miles east of Glenwood, Washington at river mile 42.5 of the Klickitat River. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are evaluated in this draft EIS. The Full Master Plan Buildout Alternative (Alternative 1) would include modifications to the Klickitat Hatchery, a new hatchery and acclimation facility at the Wahkiacus site located at river mile 17 on the Klickitat River, and an acclimation facility at McCreedy Creek at river mile 70, should it be deemed necessary. The Wahkiacus facility would include a new hatchery building, a maintenance building, a number of raceways, and other buildings and facilities related to fish production. The integrated hatchery/harvest program for spring Chinook would involve replacement of existing broodstock with natural-origin adults collected at Lyle Falls Fishway and Castile Falls. At the Klickitat Hatchery, 800,000 spring Chinook would be incubated, reared, and released as smolts. Summer steelhead production would initially be designed as a segregated harvest program. Approximately 130,000 juveniles would be released from the Klickitat Hatchery for the harvest component. Alternative 2 would also establish a local broodstock segregated hatchery program for coho and a segregated hatchery/harvest program for fall Chinook. Under the Klickitat Hatchery Buildout Alternative (Alternative 3), hatchery production would be managed at a modified Klickitat Hatchery and no new facilities would be constructed at Wahkiacus. Both build alternatives incorporate adaptive management strategies, remote and mobile acclimation facilities, and climate change adaptations. The primary adaptive management strategy relates to summer steelhead conservation and the recolonization of upstream reaches. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would support BPAs efforts to further mitigate the adverse effects of the Federal Columbia River Power System on salmonids generally, and fish in the Klickitat River subbasin particularly. The increased numbers of harvestable fish in the subbasin would benefit Yakama Nation tribal members and others who fish for salmon and steelhead. By reducing the numbers of smolts of introduced species (coho salmon) released into the subbasin and applying the most current findings regarding acclimation and integrated hatchery reform, the Klickitat Hatchery Complex Program is endeavoring to achieve self-sustaining native fish populations in the Klickitat River Subbasin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative 2, a total of 33.2 acres of soil would be disturbed at the Wahkiacus, Klickitat Hatchery, and McCreedy Creek sites. Alternative 3 would alter 21.5 acres at the Klickitat Hatchery and McCreedy Creek sites. Ground disturbing activities would increase erosion and sediment run-off to the Klickitat River, Swale Creek, and McCreedy Creek in the short term. Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in loss of 5.9 acres and 3.7 acres of wildlife habitat, respectively. The renovation of the existing historic Klickitat Hatchery and demolition of three existing historic residences would have an adverse effect on structures potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The developed likelihood functions differ in their underlying assumptions and treatment of error sources. We apply the developed method to a snow accumulation and ablation model (National Weather Service SNOW17) and generate parameter ensembles to predict snow water equivalent (SWE). Observational data include precipitation and air temperature forcing along with SWE measurements from 24 sites with diverse hydroclimatic characteristics. A multiple linear regression model is used to construct regionalization relationships between model parameters and site characteristics. Results indicate that model structural uncertainty has the largest influence on SNOW17 parameter behavior. Precipitation uncertainty is the second largest source of uncertainty, showing greater impact at wetter sites. Measurement uncertainty in SWE tends to have little impact on the final model parameters and resulting SWE predictions. Considering all sources of uncertainty, parameters related to air temperature and snowfall fraction exhibit the strongest correlations to site characteristics. Parameters related to the length of the melting period also show high correlation to site characteristics. Finally, model structural uncertainty and precipitation uncertainty dramatically alter parameter regionalization relationships in comparison to cases where only uncertainty in model parameters or output measurements is considered.

AN - 879479200; 21662236 AB - A better understanding of the role that nanoscale surface chemical heterogeneities and topographical features play in water droplet formation is necessary to improve design and robustness of nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces as to make them fit for industrial applications. Lack of an imaging method capable of capturing the water condensation process on complex nanostructures with required magnification has thus far hindered experimental progress in this area. In this work, we demonstrate that by transferring a small part of a macroscale sample to a novel thermally insulated sample platform we are able to mitigate flooding and electron heating problems typically associated with environmental scanning electron microscopy of water condensation. We image condensation dynamics on individual complex particles and a superhydrophobic network of nanostructures fabricated from low thermal conductivity materials with an unobstructed 90° perspective of the surface-to-water interface with field of view as small as 1 μm(2). We clearly observe the three-stage drop growth process and demonstrate that even during late stages of the droplet growth the nearly spherical drop remains in a partially wetting Wenzel state.

As such, accurate representations of both the vegetation height and the surface elevations are requisite components for systematic analysis and temporal monitoring of the habitat. Topographic Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data can provide high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation measurements of features both aboveground and at the surface. However, because of poor penetration of the laser pulse through the marsh vegetation, bare-earth LIDAR elevations can be markedly less accurate when compared with adjacent upland habitats. Consequently, LIDAR ground-elevation errors (i.e., standard deviation [[SD]] and bias) can vary significantly from the standard upland land-cover classes quoted in a typical data provider's quality-assurance report. Custom digital elevation model (DEM) generation techniques and point classification processes can be used to improve estimates of ground elevations in coastal marshes. The simplest of these methods is minimum bin gridding, which extracts the lowest elevation value included within a user-specified search window and assigns that value to the appropriate DEM grid cell. More complex point-to-point classification can be accomplished by enforcing stricter slope limits and increasing the level of smoothing. Despite lowering the spatial resolution of the DEM, the application of these techniques significantly improves the vertical accuracy of the LIDAR-derived bare-earth surfaces. By employing the minimum bin technique to the bare-earth classified LIDAR data, the overall bias in the resultant surface was reduced by 12 cm, and the vertical accuracy was improved by 8 cm when compared with the "as-received" data.

The model results have been compared to measurements of oxygenated VOCs (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetaldehyde, acetic acid and methanol) obtained during several flights of the NOAA WP-3D aircraft, which sampled plumes from the New York City area during the ICARTT campaign in 2004. The agreement between the model and the measurements was within 40-60 % for all species, except acetic acid. The model results have been used to study the formation and photochemical evolution of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and acetaldehyde. Under the conditions encountered during the ICARTT campaign, acetone is produced from the oxidation of propane (24-28 %) and i-propanol (C5 alkanes, propanal and MEK. Ethane and ethanol oxidation account, respectively, for 6-23 % and 5-25 % of acetaldehyde photochemical formation. The results highlight the importance of alkanes for the photochemical production of ketones and the role of hydroperoxides in sustaining their formation far from the emission sources.

Movements of ultrasonic tagged reef fish were determined using a calibrated array of omnidirectional hydroacoustic receivers. Average home range sizes were 2.09 +/- 0.39 km super(2) (n = 28; total length, TL = 45 to 66 cm) for red grouper Epinephelus morio, 4.17 +/- 1.75 km super(2) (n = 5, TL = 48 to 55 cm) for yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus, 1.44 +/- 1.04 km super(2) (n = 2, TL = 57 to 75 cm) for black grouper Mycteroperca bonaci, and 7.64 km super(2) (n = 1, TL = 70 cm) for mutton snapper Lutjanus analis. Red grouper and yellowtail snapper moved moderate distances (from 700 to 900 m) with moderate frequency. Observed movements for black groupers were relatively small and infrequent. Mutton snappers appeared to make short, frequent movements. A tracked gray snapper L. griseus made long-distance nocturnal migrations. Several exploited-phase groupers and snappers crossed into and out of reserve boundaries. They were most likely to do so in locations where boundaries were positioned over contiguous coral reef and close to home-range centers. We found that home ranges for red grouper, black grouper, and yellowtail snapper were relatively small in comparison to NTMR area. Our observations suggest that the Dry Tortugas NTMRs may reduce exposure to exploitation for these and other species with limited home ranges, especially where NTMR boundaries do not overlie contiguous reef.

AN - 884843617; 14981-1_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of incidental take permits to cover operations and maintenance activities relating to the City of Kent's Clark Springs water supply system located east of Maple Valley in a 320-acre area of King County, Washington is proposed. Kent owns and operates the Clark Springs water supply system which consists of a spring-fed infiltration gallery and three well pumps. This facility is located adjacent to Rock Creek 1.8 miles upstream of the creek's confluence with the Cedar River. The system provides up to 60 percent of the city's water supply needs. Species for which the city seeks coverage include the Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, and bull trout, which are currently listed as threatened, and six unlisted species that may be affected by the city's activities in the Rock Creek watershed. Kent has prepared a habitat conservation plan (HCP) designed to minimize and mitigate any take of listed species related to water withdrawal and habitat enhancement measures on Rock Creek. Specific activities that would be covered include: water supply withdrawals from the Clark Springs system; augmentation flows pumped from the Clark Springs facility into Rock Creek; operations, maintenance, replacement, monitoring, and improvements to the augmentation system; relocation of the augmentation discharge point downstream from its current location; operations, maintenance, and improvements to the water supply facilities; vegetation management; operation and maintenance of the Parshall Flume gaging station; wildlife management including trapping of beavers; electrical, control, and telemetry operations and maintenance; delivery and storage of chemicals and the chemical treatment process; and the installation of monitoring wells along the eastern boundary of the Clark Springs property. The permit and HCP have a proposed term of 50 years. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS analyzes a No Action Alternative (Alternative A). Under Alternative B, which is the proposed action, the city would receive incidental take permits for nine species and the HCP would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The permits would allow the city to continue its water supply activities at the Clark Springs facility while complying with the Endangered Species Act. The proposed HCP would include monitoring to ensure that biological goals and objectives are met and would provide for adaptive management. Flow augmentation of up to 2.5 cubic feet per second would have beneficial effect on instream flows downstream of the Clark Springs facility during the months of October, November, and December with consequential beneficial effect on access and availability of habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of habitat conservation measures would result in minor sediment and erosion impacts, temporary noise level increases, and short-term increases in turbidity and total suspended solids. Construction along Rock Creek and its confluence with the Cedar River could impact unknown cultural resources. Minor water quality impacts would result from activities such as beaver dam removal and road building. The cost of implementing mitigation requirements would require the city to raise water rates an average of 0.65 percent annually over the 50-year permit period.

Flow augmentation of up to 2.5 cubic feet per second would have beneficial effect on instream flows downstream of the Clark Springs facility during the months of October, November, and December with consequential beneficial effect on access and availability of habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of habitat conservation measures would result in minor sediment and erosion impacts, temporary noise level increases, and short-term increases in turbidity and total suspended solids. Construction along Rock Creek and its confluence with the Cedar River could impact unknown cultural resources. Minor water quality impacts would result from activities such as beaver dam removal and road building. The cost of implementing mitigation requirements would require the city to raise water rates an average of 0.65 percent annually over the 50-year permit period.

AN - 16376001; 14981 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of incidental take permits to cover operations and maintenance activities relating to the City of Kent's Clark Springs water supply system located east of Maple Valley in a 320-acre area of King County, Washington is proposed. Kent owns and operates the Clark Springs water supply system which consists of a spring-fed infiltration gallery and three well pumps. This facility is located adjacent to Rock Creek 1.8 miles upstream of the creek's confluence with the Cedar River. The system provides up to 60 percent of the city's water supply needs. Species for which the city seeks coverage include the Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, and bull trout, which are currently listed as threatened, and six unlisted species that may be affected by the city's activities in the Rock Creek watershed. Kent has prepared a habitat conservation plan (HCP) designed to minimize and mitigate any take of listed species related to water withdrawal and habitat enhancement measures on Rock Creek. Specific activities that would be covered include: water supply withdrawals from the Clark Springs system; augmentation flows pumped from the Clark Springs facility into Rock Creek; operations, maintenance, replacement, monitoring, and improvements to the augmentation system; relocation of the augmentation discharge point downstream from its current location; operations, maintenance, and improvements to the water supply facilities; vegetation management; operation and maintenance of the Parshall Flume gaging station; wildlife management including trapping of beavers; electrical, control, and telemetry operations and maintenance; delivery and storage of chemicals and the chemical treatment process; and the installation of monitoring wells along the eastern boundary of the Clark Springs property. The permit and HCP have a proposed term of 50 years. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS analyzes a No Action Alternative (Alternative A). Under Alternative B, which is the proposed action, the city would receive incidental take permits for nine species and the HCP would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The permits would allow the city to continue its water supply activities at the Clark Springs facility while complying with the Endangered Species Act. The proposed HCP would include monitoring to ensure that biological goals and objectives are met and would provide for adaptive management. Flow augmentation of up to 2.5 cubic feet per second would have beneficial effect on instream flows downstream of the Clark Springs facility during the months of October, November, and December with consequential beneficial effect on access and availability of habitat.

This gold standard is achieved by asking about race in three ways: (1) an open-ended question that allows the respondent to self-identify with any races or Hispanic origins; (2) a series of yes/no questions aimed at measuring identification with the US government's race and Hispanic origin categories;2 and (3) a summary measure which attempts to gather the respondent's usual or typical report to race and Hispanic origin questions. We argue that while no single measure taken alone captures the truth of race, all the three measures, taken together, do provide a robust portrait of self-identified race and Hispanic origin for nearly all respondents in our sample.

TRIGRS (transient rainfall infiltration and grid-based regional slope-stability analysis) is a USGS landslide prediction model, coded in Fortran, that accounts for the influences of hydrology, topography, and soil physics on slope stability. In this study, we quantitatively evaluate the spatiotemporal predictability of a Matlab version of TRIGRS (MaTRIGRS) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Macon County, North Carolina where Hurricanes Ivan triggered widespread landslides in the 2004 hurricane season. High resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data (6-m LiDAR), USGS STATSGO soil database, and NOAA/NWS combined radar and gauge precipitation are used as inputs to the model. A local landslide inventory database from North Carolina Geological Survey is used to evaluate the MaTRIGRS' predictive skill for the landslide locations and timing, identifying predictions within a 120-m radius of observed landslides over the 30-h period of Hurricane Ivan's passage in September 2004. Results show that within a radius of 24 m from the landslide location about 67% of the landslide, observations could be successfully predicted but with a high false alarm ratio (90%). If the radius of observation is extended to 120 m, 98% of the landslides are detected with an 18% false alarm ratio. This study shows that MaTRIGRS demonstrates acceptable spatiotemporal predictive skill for landslide occurrences within a 120-m radius in space and a hurricane-event-duration (h) in time, offering the potential to serve as a landslide warning system in areas where accurate rainfall forecasts and detailed field data are available. The validation can be further improved with additional landslide information including the exact time of failure for each landslide and the landslide's extent and run out length.

An IFRAME approach for assessing impacts of climate change on fisheries. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1318-1328.A new assessment framework is proposed for evaluating the performance of management strategies relative to the goals of an ecosystem approach to management (EAM) under different climate change scenarios. Earlier studies have demonstrated how global climate model simulations from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change can be used to force regional ocean circulation models and forecast regional changes in bottom-up forcing. We extend this approach to assess the ecosystem impacts of resource use and climate change in marine ecosystems, by developing an Integrated Fisheries Risk Analysis Method for Ecosystems (IFRAME) framework. The IFRAME approach tracks climate change impacts on the flow of energy through the planktonic foodweb using NEMURO and projects the implications of these shifts in bottom-up forcing on the fisheries foodweb using Ecopath with Ecosim. Resource management scenarios are developed and incorporated into the projection framework by characterizing the action for changes in fishing mortality or availability of resources. An integrated suite of ecosystem status indicators are proposed to assess the performance of management scenarios relative to the goals of an EAM. These ecosystem status indicators track four key management objectives of the ecosystem: sustainability, biodiversity, habitat quantity, and quality and socio-economic status.

Modelling the economic and ecological impacts of the transition to individual transferable quotas in the multispecies US west coast groundfish trawl fleet. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1566-1579. There is a need to understand the potential impacts on ecosystems and economies from shifting fisheries management towards individual transferable quota (ITQ) programmes. Multispecies fisheries present the challenge of understanding spatial patterns in fisher behaviour as they strive to balance profitable target catches while avoiding species with low catch limits. A spatially explicit model of biological and fleet dynamics was constructed to evaluate how the limited-entry groundfish trawl fleet off the US west coast and selected groundfish species (targeted Dover sole, and overfished darkblotched rockfish) were affected by two approaches to management: trip limits and ITQs. The model includes regional populations for both species, provides biological and socio-economic outputs, and determines quota price endogenously when applied for ITQs. Under ITQ management, effort and the total landings of the overfished species, darkblotched rockfish, were lower, coastwide profits higher, and the centre of fishing activity shifted south to areas with lower landing rates of darkblotched rockfish. The framework presented holds promise for obtaining insight about how new, untested management alternatives affect coastal and marine resources and those who rely on them.

Evaluating management strategies for eastern Bering Sea walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) in a changing environment. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1297-1304.The impacts of climate change on fish and fisheries is expected to increase the demand for more accurate stock projections and harvest strategies that are robust to shifting production regimes. To address these concerns, we evaluate the performance of fishery management control rules for eastern Bering Sea walleye pollock stock under climate change. We compared the status quo policy with six alternative management strategies under two types of recruitment pattern simulations: one that follows temperature-induced trends and the other that follows a stationary recruitment pattern similar to historical observations. A subset of 82 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change climate models provided temperature inputs from which an additional 100 stochastic simulated recruitments were generated to obtain the same overall recruitment variability as observed for the stationary recruitment simulations. Results indicate that status quo management with static reference points and current ecosystem considerations will result in much lower average catches and an increased likelihood of fishery closures, should reduced recruitment because of warming conditions hold. Alternative reference point calculations and control rules have similar performance under stationary recruitment relative to status quo, but may offer significant gains under the changing environmental conditions.

Environmental controls of phenology of high-latitude Chinook salmon populations of the Yukon River, North America, with application to fishery management. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1155-1164.Phenologies of a number of anadromous fish species have been demonstrated to vary in concert with environmental factors that change with global warming, such as water and air temperatures. Anadromous fishery managers will need advice from models of phenology, or migratory timing, as functions of environmental factors in those harvest areas where annual migratory timing can vary sharply. Such models are also necessary to advise fishery managers on how and when global warming projections of the IPCC model ensemble should be factored into regulatory decisions. Specifically, we demonstrate that the annual timing of marine exit of Yukon River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at 63 degree N 165 degree W for 1961-2009 varied in close concert with modelled sea surface temperature, air temperature, and sea ice cover. The best linear model for 1961-2009 combines sea surface and air temperatures to explain 59% of the annual variability in migratory timing (ice cover is available only for 1970-2009). Changes in phenology of high-latitude Chinook salmon are expected in response to global warming. As average temperatures increase, the frequency of earlier migrations is expected to increase, making management of the fishery more challenging.

Predicting the effects of climate change on bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) spawning habitat in the Gulf of Mexico. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1051-1062.Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) is a highly migratory species that feeds in cold waters in the North Atlantic, but migrates to tropical seas to spawn. Global climate-model simulations forced by future greenhouse warming project that upper-ocean temperatures in the main western Atlantic spawning ground, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), will increase substantially, potentially altering the temporal and spatial extent of BFT spawning activity. In this study, an ensemble of 20 climate model simulations used in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change fourth Assessment Report (IPCC-AR4) predicted mean temperature changes within the GOM under scenario A1B through to 2100. Associations between adult and larval BFT in the GOM and sea temperatures were defined using 20th century observations, and potential effects of warming on the suitability of the GOM as a spawning ground were quantified. Areas in the GOM with high probabilities of larval occurrence decreased in late spring by 39-61% by 2050 and 93-96% by the end of the 21st century. Conversely, early spring may become more suitable for spawning. BFT are therefore likely to be vulnerable to climate change, and there is potential for significant impacts on spawning and migration behaviours.

Projected expansion of the subtropical biome and contraction of the temperate and equatorial upwelling biomes in the North Pacific under global warming. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 986-995. A climate model that includes a coupled ocean biogeochemistry model is used to define large oceanic biomes in the North Pacific Ocean and describe their changes over the 21st century in response to the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenario A2 future atmospheric CO sub(2) emissions scenario. Driven by enhanced stratification and a northward shift in the mid-latitude westerlies under climate change, model projections demonstrated that between 2000 and 2100, the area of the subtropical biome expands by similar to 30% by 2100, whereas the area of temperate and equatorial upwelling (EU) biomes decreases by similar to 34 and 28%, respectively, by 2100. Over the century, the total biome primary production and fish catch is projected to increase by 26% in the subtropical biome and decrease by 38 and 15% in the temperate and the equatorial biomes, respectively. Although the primary production per unit area declines slightly in the subtropical and the temperate biomes, it increases 17% in the EU biome. Two areas where the subtropical biome boundary exhibits the greatest movement is in the northeast Pacific, where it moves northwards by as much as 1000 km per 100 years and at the equator in the central Pacific, where it moves eastwards by 2000 km per 100 years. Lastly, by the end of the century, there are projected to be more than 25 million km super(2) of water with a mean sea surface temperature of 31 degree C in the subtropical and EU biomes, representing a new thermal habitat. The projected trends in biome carrying capacity and fish catch suggest resource managers might have to address long-term trends in fishing capacity and quota levels.

V., Starovoytov, A., Naydenko, S., Heintz, R., Trudel, M., Guthrie, C., Eisner, L., Guyon, J. R. 2011. Implications of a warming eastern Bering Sea for Bristol Bay sockeye salmon. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 1138-1146.Overwinter survival of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) is believed to be a function of size and energetic status they gain during their first summer at sea. We test this notion for Bristol Bay sockeye salmon (O. nerka), utilizing data from large-scale fisheries and oceanographic surveys conducted during mid-August to September 2002-2008 and from February to March 2009. The new data presented in this paper demonstrate size-selective mortality for Bristol Bay sockeye salmon between autumn and their first winter at sea. Differences in the seasonal energetic signatures for lipid and protein suggest that these fish are not starving, but instead the larger fish caught during winter apparently are utilizing energy stores to minimize predation. Energetic status of juvenile sockeye salmon was also strongly related to marine survival indices and years with lower energetic status apparently are a function of density-dependent processes associated with high abundance of juvenile sockeye salmon. Based on new information regarding eastern Bering Sea ecosystem productivity under a climate-warming scenario, we hypothesize that sustained increases in spring and summer sea temperatures may negatively affect energetic status of juvenile sockeye salmon, potentially resulting in increased overwinter mortality.

We use specular X-ray reflectivity (SXR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and immunofluorescence to probe the quantity and uniformity of laminin. The surface coverage of laminin is approximately 45% for the plasma-only and 50% for the silane-linked treatment as determined by SXR. TEM and immunofluorescence reveal additional islands of laminin aggregates on the plasma-only PDMS compared with the relatively smooth and uniform silane-linked laminin surface. We also examine laminin retention under strain and vascular smooth muscle cell viability and proliferation under static and strain conditions. Equibiaxial stretching of the PDMS surfaces shows greatly improved retention of the silane-linked laminin over plasma-only. There are significantly more cells on the silane-linked surface after 4 days of equibiaxial strain.

The method, called Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA), merges stochastic Stock-Reduction Analysis with Depletion-Corrected Average Catch. Data requirements include estimates of historical annual catches, approximate natural mortality rate and age at maturity. A production function is specified based on general fishery knowledge of the relative location of maximum productivity and the relationship of MSY fishing rate to the natural mortality rate. This leaves unfished biomass as the only unknown parameter, which can be estimated given a designated relative depletion level near the end of the time series. The method produces probability distributions of management reference points concerning yield and biomass. Uncertainties in natural mortality, stock dynamics, optimal harvest rates, and recent stock status are incorporated using Monte Carlo exploration. Comparison of model outputs to data-rich stock assessments suggests that the method is effective for estimating sustainable yields for data-poor stocks.

When these favorable conditions occur in combination, a harmful algal bloom window of opportunity (HAB-WOO) exists for A. catenella. The original HAB-WOO was identified by for the time period 1993-2007. In general, it showed that warm air and water temperatures, low streamflow, low winds, and small tidal variability precede PST events. Here, we use the HAB-WOO model to examine (i) changes in the annual HAB-WOO duration over the period from 1967 to 2006, and (ii) the potential effect of future climate change on HAB risk through the late 21st century. The annual HAB-WOO duration increased between 1978 and 2006, as did the frequency and geographic extent of PST events. Two step-like changes occurred in 1978 and 1992 with higher annual values attained by the HAB-WOO compared to previous years. The 1978 step change may be related to the 1977 reversal of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation from cool to warm phase. Climate change projections from global climate models and regionally downscaled climate models for the Pacific Northwest are used to evaluate scenarios for the future HAB-WOO. Under a moderate greenhouse gas emissions scenario (i.e., A1B), the annual HAB-WOO for A. catenella in Puget Sound is projected to increase by an average of 13 days by the end of the 21st century. Furthermore, the annual HAB-WOO may begin up to 2 months earlier in the year and persist for up to 1 month later in the year compared to the present day. This research provides managers, health authorities, and shellfish growers in Washington State with critical information for anticipating climate impacts on toxic HABs in the Pacific Northwest now and in a future warmer climate.

Simulation is used to examine the performance of two new data-poor assessment methods, Depletion Corrected Average Catch (DCAC) and Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA), and a more complex catch-at-age method, Stock Synthesis (SS), in terms of estimating harvest levels for two life-history types (U.S. west coast flatfish and rockfish) under varying mis-specifications of parameter distributions. DCAC and DB-SRA are fairly robust to mis-specification of the distributions for natural mortality and the productivity parameter (the fishing mortality rate that corresponds to maximum sustainable yield relative to natural mortality) for the flatfish life-history, but led to greater error for the rockfish life-history when estimating harvest levels that would not result in overfishing. SS estimates of the harvest level increased when natural mortality was set to a higher value than the true value for both life-histories. Both DCAC and DB-SRA were highly sensitive to the assumed distribution for the ratio of the current to starting biomass and provided overestimates of the harvest level when based on an overly optimistic value for this ratio.

During the summer of 2007, an unusual 6-month long bloom of C. furca was observed in Pago Pago Harbor, Tutuila Island, American Samoa. Incidents of dinoflagellate blooms in this area have not been previously reported. The bloom was first reported in May and dissipated in November 2007. In February-March 2009, a similar C. furca bloom was observed. During both blooms, no fish mortality events were reported. Maximum cell counts were observed on September 20, 2007 at 9 200 cell/mL. At this time, total nitrogen was measured at 1.2 mg/L while total phosphate was below detection limits. Changes in land use practices may have been the primary driver of these blooms. Intense fertilization of athletic fields coupled with ineffective management strategies is hypothesized to have a direct link to the increase in nutrients found in the Pago Pago Harbor and may have been the trigger for the initialization of these blooms. During 2008, the fields were not used due to an infestation of the fire ant, Solenopsis geminata. Once controlled, the fields were opened again in 2009 and fertilizers were applied in January, a month before the bloom was observed.

Taxonomic and vital rate data for northern rock sole are still not fully described, notably at early egg and larval stages. In this study, we provide new taxonomic descriptions of late-stage eggs and newly hatched larvae, as well as temperature-response models of hatching (timing, duration, success), and larval size-at-hatch and posthatch survival at four temperatures (2 degree , 5 degree , 9 degree , and 12 degree C). Time-to-first-hatch, hatch cycle duration, and overall hatching success showed a negative relationship with temperature. Early hatching larvae within each temperature treatment were smaller and had larger yolk sacs, but larvae incubated at higher temperatures (9 degree and 12 degree C) had the largest yolk reserves overall. Despite having smaller yolks, size-at-hatch and the maximum size achieved during the hatching cycle was highest for larvae reared at cold temperatures (2 degree and 5 degree C), indicating that endogenous reserves are more efficiently used for growth at these temperatures. In addition, larvae reared at high temperatures died more rapidly in the absence of food despite having more yolk reserves than cold-incubated larvae. Overall, northern rock sole eggs and larvae display early life history traits consistent with cold-water adaptation for winter spawning in the North Pacific.

ESA Issue Brief #03-11 AN - 889924179; ED522129 AB - Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workers drive the nation's innovation and competitiveness by generating new ideas, new companies and new industries. However, U.S. businesses frequently voice concerns over the supply and availability of STEM workers. Over the past 10 years, growth in STEM jobs was three times as fast as growth in non-STEM jobs. STEM workers are also less likely to experience joblessness than their non-STEM counterparts. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics workers play a key role in the sustained growth and stability of the U.S. economy, and are a critical component to helping the U.S. win the future. In 2010, there were 7.6 million STEM workers in the United States, representing about 1 in 18 workers. STEM occupations are projected to grow by 17.0 percent from 2008 to 2018, compared to 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM occupations. STEM workers command higher wages, earning 26 percent more than their non-STEM counterparts. More than two-thirds of STEM workers have at least a college degree, compared to less than one-third of non-STEM workers. STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations. Appended are: (1) Detailed STEM occupations and Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes; and (2) Detailed STEM undergraduate majors. (Contains 5 figures, 4 tables and 10 endnotes.)

In the early 1970s, J. Felsenstein and W. G. Hill independently developed methods for calculating N sub(e) in age-structured populations; the two approaches produce the same answer under certain conditions and have contrasting advantages and disadvantages. Here, we describe a hybrid approach that combines useful features of both. Like Felsenstein's model, the new method is based on age-specific survival and fertility rates and therefore can be directly applied to any species for which life table data are available. Like Hill, we relax the restrictive assumption in Felsenstein's model regarding random variance in reproductive success, which allows more general application. The basic principle underlying the new method is that age structure stratifies a population into winners and losers in the game of life: individuals that live longer have more opportunities to reproduce and therefore have a higher mean lifetime reproductive success. This creates different classes of individuals within the population, and grouping individuals by age at death provides a simple means of calculating lifetime variance in reproductive success of a newborn cohort. The new method has the following features: (1) it can accommodate unequal sex ratio and sex-specific vital rates and overdispersed variance in reproductive success; (2) it can calculate effective size in species that change sex during their lifetime; (3) it can calculate N sub(e) and the ratio N sub(e)/N based on various ways of defining N; (4) it allows one to explore the relationship between N sub(e) and the effective number of breeders per year (N sub(b)), which is a quantity that genetic estimators of contemporary N sub(e) commonly provide information about; and (5) it is implemented in freely available software (AgeNe).

The molecular mechanisms controlling its cell cycle are important to bloom formation because blooms develop through vegetative cell division. This study identifies a suite of conserved S-phase genes in K. brevis-proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), ribonucleotide reductase 2, replication factor C, and replication protein A-and characterizes their expression at the mRNA and protein level over the cell cycle. In higher eukaryotes, the expression of these genes is controlled by transcription, activated at S-phase entry by the E2F transcription factor, which ensures their timely availability for DNA synthesis. In the dinoflagellate, these transcripts possess a 5'-transspliced leader sequence, which suggests they may be under post-transcriptional control as demonstrated in trypanosomes. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), we confirmed that their transcript levels are unchanged over the cell cycle. However, their proteins are maximally expressed during S-phase. This suggests their cell-cycle-dependent expression may be achieved at the level of translation and/or stability. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen further undergoes an increase in size of similar to 9kDa that dominates during S-phase. This coincides with a change in its distribution, with prominent staining of chromatin-bound PCNA occurring during S-phase. We hypothesize that the change in the observed size of PCNA is due to post-translational modification. Together, these studies demonstrate post-transcriptional regulation of S-phase genes in K. brevis. Differential expression of these S-phase proteins may be useful in the development of biomarkers to assess bloom growth status in the field.

AN - 884410552; 14963-3_0002 AB - PURPOSE: A programmatic approach to the assessment of marine seismic research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) or conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposed. Currently, environmental assessments of the potential impact of the sound from seismic surveys on marine resources and species listed under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and Endangered Species Act (ESA) are prepared for individual or a small group of research cruises. For research cruises with the potential for adverse impacts to listed species, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have issued a biological opinion and related incidental take statements, which included terms and conditions to minimize impacts on threatened and endangered species. In parallel with this effort, when applicable, a separate application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) under the MMPA was submitted for each cruise to another division within NOAA, which subsequently issued the IHA. Under the proposed action, marine seismic surveys funded by NSF could take place across the world's oceans, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, and in the Mediterranean Sea, and could be located in the Exclusive Economic Zone or territorial waters of the U.S. or foreign countries. Four to seven cruises would be conducted each year with cruises lasting about one to seven weeks. Generally, vessels would be more than three nautical miles off the coast, and would utilize high-energy source systems such as strings or arrays of six to 36 airguns. Seismic operations conducted during any specific research cruise could range from 20 to more than 800 hours. Seismic operations generally occur in deeper, open ocean waters, but can range from less than 328 feet to more than 26,247 feet. The research vessels have the capability of towing different airgun configurations and a variety of other research can also be conducted on NSF-funded marine seismic research cruises, including, but not limited to, mapping, water sampling, and scientific dredging, drilling, and coring. USGS seismic research has been primarily coastal, utilizing high-resolution, low-energy source systems. About eight to 12 cruises are conducted each year in water depths varying from less than 66 feet to generally not more than 3,281 feet. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. Alternative A would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures. Alternative B is the preferred alternative and would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures with generic mitigation measures for low-energy acoustic sources. Mitigation measures would include preliminary assessment of potential impacts during cruise planning, visual monitoring for marine mammals and turtles, passive acoustic monitoring for the presence of marine mammals, proposed safety radii or mitigation zones, and other operational procedures. Under Alternative B, there would be a standard mitigation zone of 328 feet for all marine mammals and turtles for any seismic survey that proposes a low-energy source. The impact analysis presented in this final programmatic EIS is narrowed to 13 representative areas, with five areas subject to detailed analysis and eight subject to qualitative analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marine seismic research would continue the investigation of the geology and geophysics of the seafloor by collecting seismic reflection and refraction data that reveal the structure and stratigraphy of the crust and/or overlying sediment below the world's oceans thus fostering a better understanding of Earths history, natural hazards, and climate history. A programmatic approach would minimize duplication of effort in environmental documentation. The collective analysis of representative project locations would provide a strong technical basis for a more global assessment of the potential cumulative impacts of NSF-funded and USGS marine seismic activities in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of either action alternative could affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, federally listed sea turtle species. Short-term, localized behavioral disturbance of small numbers of individual marine mammals, including cetaceans, pinnipeds, sea otters, and West Indian manatees could occur.

The impact analysis presented in this final programmatic EIS is narrowed to 13 representative areas, with five areas subject to detailed analysis and eight subject to qualitative analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marine seismic research would continue the investigation of the geology and geophysics of the seafloor by collecting seismic reflection and refraction data that reveal the structure and stratigraphy of the crust and/or overlying sediment below the world's oceans thus fostering a better understanding of Earths history, natural hazards, and climate history. A programmatic approach would minimize duplication of effort in environmental documentation. The collective analysis of representative project locations would provide a strong technical basis for a more global assessment of the potential cumulative impacts of NSF-funded and USGS marine seismic activities in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of either action alternative could affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, federally listed sea turtle species. Short-term, localized behavioral disturbance of small numbers of individual marine mammals, including cetaceans, pinnipeds, sea otters, and West Indian manatees could occur.

AN - 884410171; 14963-3_0008 AB - PURPOSE: A programmatic approach to the assessment of marine seismic research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) or conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposed. Currently, environmental assessments of the potential impact of the sound from seismic surveys on marine resources and species listed under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and Endangered Species Act (ESA) are prepared for individual or a small group of research cruises. For research cruises with the potential for adverse impacts to listed species, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have issued a biological opinion and related incidental take statements, which included terms and conditions to minimize impacts on threatened and endangered species. In parallel with this effort, when applicable, a separate application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) under the MMPA was submitted for each cruise to another division within NOAA, which subsequently issued the IHA. Under the proposed action, marine seismic surveys funded by NSF could take place across the world's oceans, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, and in the Mediterranean Sea, and could be located in the Exclusive Economic Zone or territorial waters of the U.S. or foreign countries. Four to seven cruises would be conducted each year with cruises lasting about one to seven weeks. Generally, vessels would be more than three nautical miles off the coast, and would utilize high-energy source systems such as strings or arrays of six to 36 airguns. Seismic operations conducted during any specific research cruise could range from 20 to more than 800 hours. Seismic operations generally occur in deeper, open ocean waters, but can range from less than 328 feet to more than 26,247 feet. The research vessels have the capability of towing different airgun configurations and a variety of other research can also be conducted on NSF-funded marine seismic research cruises, including, but not limited to, mapping, water sampling, and scientific dredging, drilling, and coring. USGS seismic research has been primarily coastal, utilizing high-resolution, low-energy source systems. About eight to 12 cruises are conducted each year in water depths varying from less than 66 feet to generally not more than 3,281 feet. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. Alternative A would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures. Alternative B is the preferred alternative and would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures with generic mitigation measures for low-energy acoustic sources. Mitigation measures would include preliminary assessment of potential impacts during cruise planning, visual monitoring for marine mammals and turtles, passive acoustic monitoring for the presence of marine mammals, proposed safety radii or mitigation zones, and other operational procedures.

Under the proposed action, marine seismic surveys funded by NSF could take place across the world's oceans, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, and in the Mediterranean Sea, and could be located in the Exclusive Economic Zone or territorial waters of the U.S. or foreign countries. Four to seven cruises would be conducted each year with cruises lasting about one to seven weeks. Generally, vessels would be more than three nautical miles off the coast, and would utilize high-energy source systems such as strings or arrays of six to 36 airguns. Seismic operations conducted during any specific research cruise could range from 20 to more than 800 hours. Seismic operations generally occur in deeper, open ocean waters, but can range from less than 328 feet to more than 26,247 feet. The research vessels have the capability of towing different airgun configurations and a variety of other research can also be conducted on NSF-funded marine seismic research cruises, including, but not limited to, mapping, water sampling, and scientific dredging, drilling, and coring. USGS seismic research has been primarily coastal, utilizing high-resolution, low-energy source systems. About eight to 12 cruises are conducted each year in water depths varying from less than 66 feet to generally not more than 3,281 feet. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. Alternative A would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures. Alternative B is the preferred alternative and would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures with generic mitigation measures for low-energy acoustic sources. Mitigation measures would include preliminary assessment of potential impacts during cruise planning, visual monitoring for marine mammals and turtles, passive acoustic monitoring for the presence of marine mammals, proposed safety radii or mitigation zones, and other operational procedures. Under Alternative B, there would be a standard mitigation zone of 328 feet for all marine mammals and turtles for any seismic survey that proposes a low-energy source. The impact analysis presented in this final programmatic EIS is narrowed to 13 representative areas, with five areas subject to detailed analysis and eight subject to qualitative analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marine seismic research would continue the investigation of the geology and geophysics of the seafloor by collecting seismic reflection and refraction data that reveal the structure and stratigraphy of the crust and/or overlying sediment below the world's oceans thus fostering a better understanding of Earths history, natural hazards, and climate history. A programmatic approach would minimize duplication of effort in environmental documentation. The collective analysis of representative project locations would provide a strong technical basis for a more global assessment of the potential cumulative impacts of NSF-funded and USGS marine seismic activities in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of either action alternative could affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, federally listed sea turtle species. Short-term, localized behavioral disturbance of small numbers of individual marine mammals, including cetaceans, pinnipeds, sea otters, and West Indian manatees could occur.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 11 TO THE ATLANTIC MACKEREL, SQUID, AND BUTTERFISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 884409736; 14962-2_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish (MSB) fishery management plan (FMP) to establish an Atlantic mackerel limited access program is proposed. Mackerel is currently an open access fishery and any U.S. vessel can apply for and be issued a permit to fish for mackerel. The current management program relies on an annual commercial quota, and any permitted vessel can fish without limits on the amount of mackerel that can be landed per trip. The fishery is closed when 90 percent of the quota is harvested, and the fishery continues for the rest of the year with vessels authorized to land only up to a specified possession limit. If the full quota is reached, a complete moratorium on possession is instituted. The fishery has not been closed to date. There is a small recreational fishery that has no active management measures. The fishery occurs primarily in shelf waters east of the Delmarva Peninsula to south of Cape Cod and, while quotas have been over 100,000 metric tons since 2003, 2003-2007 catches averaged 43,000 metric tons. Most of the catch is landed at Cape May, New Jersey, New Bedford and Gloucester, Massachusetts, and North Kingstown, Fall River, and Point Judith, Rhode Island. While there has not been a race to fish for mackerel to date, quotas are expected to fall in the future because of the nature of the mackerel stock, and a race to fish could develop. This Amendment 11 final EIS considers seven alternative sets, each including a No Action Alternative. Alternative Sets 1 through 4 relate to the proposed cap on capacity via limited access, quota provisions and trip limits, and changes to administrative rules related to implementation of limited access. Under preferred alternatives, additional vessels could not enter the fishery and existing vessels (those holding permits on March 21, 2007) would be limited from expanding beyond a certain degree. Vessels would be grouped into three tiers based on historical landings and would have different levels of access and trip limits would be set annually. Alternative Set 5 presents scenarios to update the essential fish habitat (EFH) designations for species in the MSB FMP and the preferred alternative would designate as EFH the area associated with 90 percent of the cumulative geometric mean catches for each MSB species/lifestage. Alternative Set 6 includes measures to allocate the mackerel quota between the recreational and commercial sectors. Under the preferred alternative, the recreational fishery would be allocated the percentage of the acceptable biological catch that corresponds to the proportion of total U.S. landings that was accounted for by the recreational fishery from 1997 to 2007. Finally, Alternative Set 7 considers options for limiting at-sea processing of Atlantic mackerel and No Action (no limitations) is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Institution of limited access would help minimize potential future racing to fish by reducing additional capitalization of the mackerel fleet and thereby reducing potential negative socioeconomic and biological consequences. EFH update provisions would designate more area than is currently designated and would enable more effective mitigation of habitat impacts in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vessels would be constrained from increasing effort beyond their traditional participation levels and, in the event that mackerel quotas are relatively high in the future, the fleet could have difficulty actually catching the quota. EFH designations could result in gear/area closures in the future. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

The goal of CM3 is to address emerging issues in climate change, including aerosol-cloud interactions, chemistry-climate interactions, and coupling between the troposphere and stratosphere. The model is also designed to serve as the physical system component of earth system models and models for decadal prediction in the near-term future-for example, through improved simulations in tropical land precipitation relative to earlier-generation GFDL models. This paper describes the dynamical core, physical parameterizations, and basic simulation characteristics of the atmospheric component (AM3) of this model. Relative to GFDL AM2, AM3 includes new treatments of deep and shallow cumulus convection, cloud droplet activation by aerosols, subgrid variability of stratiform vertical velocities for droplet activation, and atmospheric chemistry driven by emissions with advective, convective, and turbulent transport. AM3 employs a cubed-sphere implementation of a finite-volume dynamical core and is coupled to LM3, a new land model with ecosystem dynamics and hydrology. Its horizontal resolution is approximately 200 km, and its vertical resolution ranges approximately from 70 m near the earth's surface to 1 to 1.5 km near the tropopause and 3 to 4 km in much of the stratosphere. Most basic circulation features in AM3 are simulated as realistically, or more so, as in AM2. In particular, dry biases have been reduced over South America. In coupled mode, the simulation of Arctic sea ice concentration has improved. AM3 aerosol optical depths, scattering properties, and surface clear-sky downward shortwave radiation are more realistic than in AM2. The simulation of marine stratocumulus decks remains problematic, as in AM2. The most intense 0.2% of precipitation rates occur less frequently in AM3 than observed. The last two decades of the twentieth century warm in CM3 by 0.32 degree C relative to 1881-1920. The Climate Research Unit (CRU) and Goddard Institute for Space Studies analyses of observations show warming of 0.56 degree and 0.52 degree C, respectively, over this period. CM3 includes anthropogenic cooling by aerosol-cloud interactions, and its warming by the late twentieth century is somewhat less realistic than in CM2.1, which warmed 0.66 degree C but did not include aerosol-cloud interactions. The improved simulation of the direct aerosol effect (apparent in surface clear-sky downward radiation) in CM3 evidently acts in concert with its simulation of cloud-aerosol interactions to limit greenhouse gas warming.

In the ocean model, the strength of the AMOC is controlled by specifying mass transport at open boundaries. The fidelity of the reduced-physics model in capturing major features of tropical Atlantic variability, as well as its response to the AMOC changes, is demonstrated in a series of model experiments. The results of the experiments reveal the relative importance of oceanic processes and atmospheric processes in AMOC-induced tropical Atlantic variability-change. It is found that the oceanic processes are a primary factor contributing to the warming at and south of the equator and the precipitation increase over the Gulf of Guinea, while atmospheric processes are responsible for the surface cooling of the tropical North Atlantic and southward displacement of ITCZ. A systematic investigation of the coupled system response to changes in AMOC strength indicates that the SST over the cold-tongue region responds nonlinearly to AMOC changes. The sensitivity of the SST response increases rapidly when AMOC strength decreases below a threshold value. Such nonlinear behavior is also found in precipitation response over the Gulf of Guinea. These results suggest that complex and competing atmosphere-ocean processes are involved in TAV response to AMOC changes and the nature of the response can vary from one region to another. This complexity should be taken into consideration in Atlantic abrupt climate studies.

AN - 879466246; 14963 AB - PURPOSE: A programmatic approach to the assessment of marine seismic research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) or conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposed. Currently, environmental assessments of the potential impact of the sound from seismic surveys on marine resources and species listed under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and Endangered Species Act (ESA) are prepared for individual or a small group of research cruises. For research cruises with the potential for adverse impacts to listed species, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have issued a biological opinion and related incidental take statements, which included terms and conditions to minimize impacts on threatened and endangered species. In parallel with this effort, when applicable, a separate application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) under the MMPA was submitted for each cruise to another division within NOAA, which subsequently issued the IHA. Under the proposed action, marine seismic surveys funded by NSF could take place across the world's oceans, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, and in the Mediterranean Sea, and could be located in the Exclusive Economic Zone or territorial waters of the U.S. or foreign countries. Four to seven cruises would be conducted each year with cruises lasting about one to seven weeks. Generally, vessels would be more than three nautical miles off the coast, and would utilize high-energy source systems such as strings or arrays of six to 36 airguns. Seismic operations conducted during any specific research cruise could range from 20 to more than 800 hours. Seismic operations generally occur in deeper, open ocean waters, but can range from less than 328 feet to more than 26,247 feet. The research vessels have the capability of towing different airgun configurations and a variety of other research can also be conducted on NSF-funded marine seismic research cruises, including, but not limited to, mapping, water sampling, and scientific dredging, drilling, and coring. USGS seismic research has been primarily coastal, utilizing high-resolution, low-energy source systems. About eight to 12 cruises are conducted each year in water depths varying from less than 66 feet to generally not more than 3,281 feet. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. Alternative A would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures. Alternative B is the preferred alternative and would involve conducting marine seismic research using cruise-specific mitigation measures with generic mitigation measures for low-energy acoustic sources. Mitigation measures would include preliminary assessment of potential impacts during cruise planning, visual monitoring for marine mammals and turtles, passive acoustic monitoring for the presence of marine mammals, proposed safety radii or mitigation zones, and other operational procedures. Under Alternative B, there would be a standard mitigation zone of 328 feet for all marine mammals and turtles for any seismic survey that proposes a low-energy source. The impact analysis presented in this final programmatic EIS is narrowed to 13 representative areas, with five areas subject to detailed analysis and eight subject to qualitative analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marine seismic research would continue the investigation of the geology and geophysics of the seafloor by collecting seismic reflection and refraction data that reveal the structure and stratigraphy of the crust and/or overlying sediment below the world's oceans thus fostering a better understanding of Earths history, natural hazards, and climate history. A programmatic approach would minimize duplication of effort in environmental documentation. The collective analysis of representative project locations would provide a strong technical basis for a more global assessment of the potential cumulative impacts of NSF-funded and USGS marine seismic activities in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of either action alternative could affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, federally listed sea turtle species. Short-term, localized behavioral disturbance of small numbers of individual marine mammals, including cetaceans, pinnipeds, sea otters, and West Indian manatees could occur.

The studies were performed using the experimental setups which are working in batch and continuous regimes. The effect of reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, oil to alcohol ratio, reaction time) on the biodiesel production (conversion yield) was studied. Also the effect of preliminary ultrasonic treatment (ultrasonic irradiation, emulsification of immiscible oil and alcohol mixture) of the initial reagents (emulsion preparation) on the stage before transesterification reaction conduction on the conversion yield was studied. We found that the preliminary ultrasonic treatment of the initial reagents increases considerably the conversion yield. Optimal technological conditions were determined to be as follows: pressure within 20-30 MPa, temperature within 573-623 K. The optimal values of the oil to alcohol ratio strongly depend on preliminary treatment of the reaction mixture. The study showed that the conversion yield at the same temperature with 96 wt.% of ethanol is higher than with 100 wt.% of methanol.

This study compared the toxicity of phenothrin to adult, larval and embryonic grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) and examined oxidative stress responses in adult and larval grass shrimp. The adult 24-h LC50 was 0.341 mu g/L (95 % confidence intervals 0.282-0.412) and the 96-h LC50 was 0.161 mu g/L (95 % CI 0.128-0.203 mu g/L). The larval 24-h LC50 was 0.50 mu g/L (95 % CI 0.441-0.568) and the 96-h LC50 was 0.154 mu g/L (95 % CI 0.139-0.170 mu g/L). In the presence of sediment, the 24-h LC50 was 6.30 mu g/L (95 % CI 5.00-7.44 mu g/L) for adults and 0.771 mu g/L (95 % CI 0.630-0.944) for larvae. The sublethal biomarkers glutathione and lipid peroxidase (LPx) were examined after 96-h phenothrin exposure at five concentrations, and there were no statistically significant differences in these levels in adults or larvae compared to controls. There was a significant downward trend in larval LPx levels. This research confirms that phenothrin is highly toxic to grass shrimp and suggests that both adult and larval grass shrimp are appropriate life stages for risk assessments.

AN - 873493524; 21612801 AB - To assess threats to endangered species, it is critical to establish baselines for contaminant concentrations that may have detrimental consequences to individuals or populations. We measured contaminants in blubber and fat from dead leatherback turtles and established baselines in blood and eggs in nesting turtles. In fat, blubber, blood and eggs, the predominant PCBs were 153+132, 187+182, 138+163, 118, and 180+193. Total PCBs, 4,4'-DDE, total PBDEs and total chlordanes were significantly and positively correlated between blood and eggs, suggesting maternal transfer. Significant positive relationships also existed between fat and blubber in stranded leatherbacks. Less lipophilic PCBs appeared to more readily transfer from females to their eggs. PBDE profiles in the four tissues were similar to other wildlife populations but different from some turtle studies.

AN - 871004068; 21509807 AB - Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are recognized manmade threats to sea turtle populations, but substantial uncertainty exists surrounding their exposure to contaminants and their sensitivity to toxic effects. This uncertainty creates difficulty for conservation managers to make informed decisions for the recovery of these threatened species. To provide baseline concentrations and spatial comparisons, we measured a large suite of POPs in loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) egg yolk samples collected from 44 nests in three distinct U.S. locations: North Carolina (NC), eastern Florida (E FL), and western Florida (W FL). The POPs included polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), chlordanes, mirex, dieldin, hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene, and toxaphene congeners, as well as polybrominated diphenyl ether congeners (PBDEs). Persistent organic pollutant concentrations were lowest in W FL, intermediate in E FL, and highest in NC egg samples, with several statistically significant spatial differences. This increasing gradient along the southeast coast around the Florida peninsula to North Carolina was explained partly by the foraging site selection of the nesting females. Data from previous tracking studies show that NC nesting females feed primarily along the U.S. eastern coast, whereas W FL nesting females forage in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. The E FL nesting females forage in areas that overlap these two. The foraging site selection also results in exposure to different patterns of POPs. An unusual PBDE pattern was seen in the NC samples, with nearly equal contributions of PBDE congeners 47, 100, and 154. These findings are important to managers assessing threats among different stocks or subpopulations of this threatened species. Copyright © 2011 SETAC.

Though ecosystem-based fisheries management seeks to unite biological and sociocultural concerns into a holistic framework, people are often seen simply as external drivers of change. The technical questions that are often posed, such as the delineation of boundaries or the strategies of governance, are however more broadly questions concerning the social production of nature. This paper explores these issues by analyzing both the spatial fishing practices of different fishermen and the results of a series of workshops held in New England to solicit opinions about ecosystem-based fisheries management. The paper emphasizes teasing apart the human dimensions of fishing embedded in predominant notions such as fishing effort through more explicit consideration of spatially based resource dependencies and mutual constitution of society-nature.

They are modeled after the popular Community Supported Agriculture Programs, a form of direct-to-consumer-marketing in which a group of individuals support a farm. There are multiple market and non-market benefits from these programs. Fishermen receive higher prices for fish, are guaranteed a stable income, and can activate political and regulatory support through direct interaction with consumers. Consumers are provided with access to high-quality novel types of fish and benefit from interactions with the producers of their food. CSFs have frequently collaborated with non-governmental organizations to address the challenges associated with these programs. Under the catch share system in the Northeast US groundfish fishery, sectors may be well-positioned to implement a CSF. Direct marketing through a CSF is not likely to completely replace traditional markets for fishermen, but can be a valuable supplement to their operations.

Increasingly, Stated Preference Choice Experiments (SPCE) are utilized for valuation, as the format offers flexibility for policy analysis and may reduce certain types of response biases relative to the more traditional Contingent Valuation method. Additionally, SPCE formats can allow respondents to make trade-offs among multiple species, providing information on the distinctiveness of preferences for different T&E species. In this paper we present results of an SPCE involving three U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed species: the Puget Sound Chinook salmon, the Hawaiian monk seal, and the smalltooth sawfish. We estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) values for improving each species' ESA listing status and statistically compare these values between the three species using a method of convolutions approach. Our results suggest that respondents have distinct preferences for the three species, and that WTP estimates differ depending on the species and the level of improvement to their ESA status. Our results should be of interest to researchers and policy-makers, as we provide value estimates for three species that have limited, if any, estimates available in the economics literature, as well as new information about the way respondents make trade-offs among three taxonomically different species.

AN - 864783057; 21356311 AB - Reduced DNA repair capacity is associated with increased risk for a variety of disease processes including carcinogenesis. Thus, DNA repair proteins have the potential to be used as important predictive, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in cancer and other diseases. The measurement of the expression level of these enzymes may be an excellent tool for this purpose. Mass spectrometry is becoming the technique of choice for the identification and quantification of proteins. However, suitable internal standards must be used to ensure the precision and accuracy of measurements. An ideal internal standard in this case would be a stable isotope-labeled analog of the analyte protein. In the present work, we over-expressed, purified and characterized two stable isotope-labeled DNA glycosylases, i.e., (15)N-labeled Escherichia coli formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and (15)N-labeled human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (hOGG1). DNA glycosylases are involved in the first step of the base excision repair of oxidatively induced DNA damage by removing modified DNA bases. The measurement by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry of the molecular mass and isotopic purity proved the identity of the (15)N-labeled proteins and showed that the (15)N-labeling of both proteins was more than 99.7%. We also measured the DNA glycosylase activities using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with isotope-dilution. The enzymic activities of both (15)N-labeled Fpg and (15)N-labeled hOGG1 were essentially identical to those of their respective unlabeled counterparts, ascertaining that the labeling did not perturb their catalytic sites. The procedures described in this work may be used for obtaining stable isotope-labeled analogs of other DNA repair proteins for mass spectrometric measurements of these proteins as disease biomarkers.

Valuable results for tsunami warning purposes were obtained 20 min after the event origin time. Within the next hour, as more data became available, the W phase solutions improved, and converged to a common result (M (sub w) nearly equal 9.0, dip nearly equal 14 degrees ). A post-mortem W phase analysis using data selection based on pre-event noise confirmed the M (sub w) = 9.0 result and yielded a best double couple given by (strike/dip/rake = 196 degrees /12 degrees /85 degrees ). We also ran the algorithm with increasingly longer periods (T nearly equal 1500 sec) to test for the possibility of additional slow slip. The seismic moment remained stable, confirming the prior results.

A diffusive reference material and associated mechanistic model have been developed and are undergoing extensive evaluation. As part of this process, a pilot inter-laboratory study (ILS) was conducted with four laboratories using a polymer material loaded with toluene as the reference source. Results showed the prototype material to be a relatively stable, homogeneous source with consistent emissions both within and between production batches. A comparison of toluene emission rates determined by the laboratories showed relative standard deviations as low as 9%, which are significantly lower than inter-laboratory variations for most previous ILS exercises with VOC sources. At a sample time of 48aah, the mean measured toluene emission rate for all four laboratories was within 1% of the model predicted value.

These SQGs included probable effect concentrations (PECs), effects range median values (ERMs), and logistic regression model (LRMs)-based T (sub 50) values. The results of this investigation indicate that all three sets of SQGs tend to underestimate sediment toxicity in the Calcasieu Estuary (i.e., relative to the national data sets), as evaluated using the results of 10-day toxicity tests with the amphipod, Hyalella azteca, or Ampelisca abdita, and 28-day whole-sediment toxicity tests with the H. azteca. These results emphasize the importance of deriving site-specific toxicity thresholds for assessing risks to benthic invertebrates.

AN - 16367970; 14962 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish (MSB) fishery management plan (FMP) to establish an Atlantic mackerel limited access program is proposed. Mackerel is currently an open access fishery and any U.S. vessel can apply for and be issued a permit to fish for mackerel. The current management program relies on an annual commercial quota, and any permitted vessel can fish without limits on the amount of mackerel that can be landed per trip. The fishery is closed when 90 percent of the quota is harvested, and the fishery continues for the rest of the year with vessels authorized to land only up to a specified possession limit. If the full quota is reached, a complete moratorium on possession is instituted. The fishery has not been closed to date. There is a small recreational fishery that has no active management measures. The fishery occurs primarily in shelf waters east of the Delmarva Peninsula to south of Cape Cod and, while quotas have been over 100,000 metric tons since 2003, 2003-2007 catches averaged 43,000 metric tons. Most of the catch is landed at Cape May, New Jersey, New Bedford and Gloucester, Massachusetts, and North Kingstown, Fall River, and Point Judith, Rhode Island. While there has not been a race to fish for mackerel to date, quotas are expected to fall in the future because of the nature of the mackerel stock, and a race to fish could develop. This Amendment 11 final EIS considers seven alternative sets, each including a No Action Alternative. Alternative Sets 1 through 4 relate to the proposed cap on capacity via limited access, quota provisions and trip limits, and changes to administrative rules related to implementation of limited access. Under preferred alternatives, additional vessels could not enter the fishery and existing vessels (those holding permits on March 21, 2007) would be limited from expanding beyond a certain degree. Vessels would be grouped into three tiers based on historical landings and would have different levels of access and trip limits would be set annually. Alternative Set 5 presents scenarios to update the essential fish habitat (EFH) designations for species in the MSB FMP and the preferred alternative would designate as EFH the area associated with 90 percent of the cumulative geometric mean catches for each MSB species/lifestage. Alternative Set 6 includes measures to allocate the mackerel quota between the recreational and commercial sectors. Under the preferred alternative, the recreational fishery would be allocated the percentage of the acceptable biological catch that corresponds to the proportion of total U.S. landings that was accounted for by the recreational fishery from 1997 to 2007. Finally, Alternative Set 7 considers options for limiting at-sea processing of Atlantic mackerel and No Action (no limitations) is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Institution of limited access would help minimize potential future racing to fish by reducing additional capitalization of the mackerel fleet and thereby reducing potential negative socioeconomic and biological consequences. EFH update provisions would designate more area than is currently designated and would enable more effective mitigation of habitat impacts in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vessels would be constrained from increasing effort beyond their traditional participation levels and, in the event that mackerel quotas are relatively high in the future, the fleet could have difficulty actually catching the quota. EFH designations could result in gear/area closures in the future. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

Preparation date: July 1, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Submarine hydrothermal activity and gold-rich mineralization at Brothers Volcano, Kermadec Arc, New Zealand AN - 1553085931; 2014-060940 AB - Brothers volcano, of the Kermadec intraoceanic arc, is host to a hydrothermal system unique among seafloor hydrothermal systems known anywhere in the world. It has two distinct vent fields, known as the NW Caldera and Cone sites, whose geology, permeability, vent fluid compositions, mineralogy, and ore-forming conditions are in stark contrast to each other. The NW Caldera site strikes for approximately 600 m in a SW-NE direction with chimneys occurring over a approximately 145-m depth interval, between approximately 1,690 and 1,545 m. At least 100 dead and active sulfide chimney spires occur in this field and are typically 2-3 m in height, with some reaching 6-7 m. Their ages (at time of sampling) fall broadly into three groups: or = 2.8), metal-rich, and gas-poor. Calculated end-member fluids from NW Caldera vents indicate that phase separation has occurred, with Cl values ranging from 93% to 137% of seawater values. By contrast, vent fluids at the Cone site are diffuse, noticeably cooler (< or =122 degrees C), more acidic (pH 1.9), metal-poor, and gas-rich. Higher-than-seawater values of SO (sub 4) and Mg in the Cone vent fluids show that these ions are being added to the hydrothermal fluid and are not being depleted via normal water/rock interactions. Iron oxide crusts 3 years in age cover the main cone summit and appear to have formed from Fe-rich brines. Evidence for magmatic contributions to the hydrothermal system at Brothers includes: high concentrations of dissolved CO (sub 2) (e.g., 206 mM/kg at the Cone site); high CO (sub 2) / (super 3) He; negative delta D and delta (super 18) O (sub H2O) for vent fluids; negative delta (super 34) S for sulfides (to -4.6 ppm), sulfur (to -10.2 ppm), and delta (super 15) N (sub 2) (to -3.5 ppm); vent fluid pH values to 1.9; and mineral assemblages common to high-sulfidation systems. Changing physicochemical conditions at the Brothers hydrothermal system, and especially the Cone site, occur over periods of months to hundreds of years, as shown by interlayered Cu + Au- and Zn-rich zones in chimneys, variable fluid and isotopic compositions, similar shifts in (super 3) He/ (super 4) He values for both Cone and NW Caldera sites, and overprinting of "magmatic" mineral assemblages by water/rock-dominated assemblages. Metals, especially Cu and possibly Au, may be entering the hydrothermal system via the dissolution of metal-rich glasses. They are then transported rapidly up into the system via magmatic volatiles utilizing vertical ( approximately 2.5 km long), narrow ( approximately 300-m diameter) "pipes," consistent with evidence of vent fluids forming at relatively shallow depths. The NW Caldera and Cone sites are considered to represent stages along a continuum between water/rock- and magmatic/hydrothermal-dominated end-members.

For teletsunamis, as scientific information (forecast model wave heights, first-wave arrival times, etc.) from NOAA's West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center is made available, federal- and state-level emergency managers must help convey this information in a concise, comprehensible and timely manner to local officials who ultimately determine the appropriate response activities for their jurisdictions. During the September 29, 2009 Tsunami Advisory for California, government geoscientists assisted the California Emergency Management Agency by providing technical assistance during teleconference meetings with NOAA and other state and local emergency managers prior to the arrival of the tsunami. This technical assistance included background information on anticipated tidal conditions when the tsunami was set to arrive, wave height estimates from state-modeled scenarios for areas not covered by NOAA's forecast models, and clarifying which regions of the state were at greatest risk. Over the last year, state geoscientists have started to provide additional assistance: 1) working closely with NOAA to simplify their tsunami alert messaging and expand their forecast modeling coverage; 2) creating "playbooks" containing information from existing tsunami scenarios for local emergency managers to reference during an event; and, 3) developing a state-level information "clearinghouse" and pre-tsunami field response team to assist local officials as well as observe and report tsunami effects. Activities of geoscientists were expanded during the more recent Tsunami Advisory on February 27, 2010, including deploying a geologist from the California Geological Survey as a field observer who provided information back to emergency managers.

From 4 to 11 October, an International Tsunami Survey Team surveyed the seven major islands of the Samoan archipelago. The team measured locally focused runup heights of 17 m at Poloa and inundation of more than 500 m at Pago Pago. A follow-up expedition from 23 to 28 November surveying the three main islands of Tonga's northernmost Niua group revealed surprising 22m runup and 1 km inundation. We analyze the extreme tsunami runup and complex impact distribution based on physical and societal observations combined with numerical modeling. That an outer rise/outer trench slope (OR/OTS) event is responsible for a tsunami disaster in the Pacific calls for care in identifying and defining tsunami hazards. Evacuation exercises conducted in Samoa in the preceding year may have limited the human toll; however, cars were identified as potential death traps during tsunami evacuations.

Observations show overall cooling of the stratosphere during the period for which they are available (since the late 1950s and late 1970s from radiosondes and satellites, respectively), interrupted by episodes of warming associated with volcanic eruptions, and superimposed on variations associated with the solar cycle. There has been little global mean temperature change since about 1995. The temporal and vertical structure of these variations are reasonably well explained by models that include changes in greenhouse gases, ozone, volcanic aerosols, and solar output, although there are significant uncertainties in the temperature observations and regarding the nature and influence of past changes in stratospheric water vapor. As a companion to a recent WIREs review of tropospheric temperature trends, this article identifies areas of commonality and contrast between the tropospheric and stratospheric trend literature. For example, the increased attention over time to radiosonde and satellite data quality has contributed to better characterization of uncertainty in observed trends both in the troposphere and in the lower stratosphere, and has highlighted the relative deficiency of attention to observations in the middle and upper stratosphere. In contrast to the relatively unchanging expectations of surface and tropospheric warming primarily induced by greenhouse gas increases, stratospheric temperature change expectations have arisen from experiments with a wider variety of model types, showing more complex trend patterns associated with a greater diversity of forcing agents.

This is typically done using segmentation techniques that separate the cell objects in an image from the surrounding background. This study compares segmentation results from nine different segmentation techniques applied to two different cell lines and five different sets of imaging conditions. Significant variability in the results of segmentation was observed that was due solely to differences in imaging conditions or applications of different algorithms. We quantified and compared the results with a novel bivariate similarity index metric that evaluates the degree of underestimating or overestimating a cell object. The results show that commonly used threshold-based segmentation techniques are less accurate than k-means clustering with multiple clusters. Segmentation accuracy varies with imaging conditions that determine the sharpness of cell edges and with geometric features of a cell. Based on this observation, we propose a method that quantifies cell edge character to provide an estimate of how accurately an algorithm will perform. The results of this study will assist the development of criteria for evaluating interlaboratory comparability. Published 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

This pattern may be driven by sea surface temperature anomalies in the same region of study that follow relatively small changes in the Caribbean basin to stronger anomalies in the northeast. These changes might be associated with changes in the long-term pattern of the NTA high-pressure system that drives climate in the region. A series of mesoscale numerical experiments were designed to study the regional impacts these large-scale changes have on the hydrological cycle of the island of Puerto Rico. Results indicate that increased easterly surface winds for the 1950-2000 time frame disrupts a pattern of inland moisture advection and convergence zone, increasing cloud base heights and reducing the total column liquid water content over high elevations. This combination of factors produces a reduction in precipitation over the central and eastern mountains of Puerto Rico. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research.

AN - 864782792; 21349314 AB - Ciguatoxins are voltage-gated selective algal toxins responsible for ciguatera fish poisoning. In this study we evaluate the toxicokinetics of one of the most common ciguatoxins found in the Pacific, the P-CTX-1, in rat after an oral or intraperitoneal (ip) dose of 0.26 μg/kg body weight. We report levels of ciguatoxin activity assessed over time in blood, urine and feces, and at 4 days in liver, muscle and brain, using the functional in vitro N2A cytotoxicity assay. Following exposure, the ciguatoxin activity exhibited a rapid systemic absorption that was followed by a bi-exponential decline, and data best fit a two-compartment model analysis. Maximum blood concentrations were reached at 1.97 and 0.43 h after the oral and ip dose, respectively. Ciguatoxin elimination from blood was slow with terminal half lives (t(½)β) estimated at 82 h for oral and 112 h for ip dosing. Ciguatoxin activity remained in liver, muscle and brain 96 h after ip and oral administration. While smaller amounts appeared in the urine, the main excretion route was feces, with peak rates reaching > 10 pg P-CTX-1 equivalents/h in both routes of administration. Assay guided fractionation showed the presence in the feces and liver of peaks of activity corresponding to the P-CTX-1 and to other less polar metabolites. In conclusion, biologically active ciguatoxins are detectable in blood, liver, muscle and brain, and continued to be excreted in urine and feces 4 days following exposure. Blood, as well as urine and feces may be useful matrices for low-invasive testing methods for ciguatera clinical cases. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

AN - 884409791; 14947-7_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to establish ACLs and accountability measures (AMs) for species in the Snapper-Grouper, Dolphin-Wahoo, Pelagic Sargassum Habitat, and Golden Crab Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the South Atlantic Region is proposed. The management area is from three to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and species affected by the proposed actions include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and 2 species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The Comprehensive ACL Amendment proposes the establishment of ACLs to prevent overfishing from occurring and AMs to prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and to correct overages of ACLs if they occur. Thirty-one actions analyzed in this draft EIS include: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP, including removing some species from the FMP and grouping some species together; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; annual catch targets to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin, wahoo, and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternative for modifying the snapper-grouper FMP would remove species based on the following criteria: 1) 80 percent or greater of landings occur in state waters; 2) combined state and federal landings are equal to 20,000 pounds annually; 3) if managed under the Florida Marine Life Rule; 4) four additional species (tomtate, jolthead porgy, knobbed porgy, and whitebone porgy). Species would be grouped based on the following criteria: associations based on life history, catch statistics from commercial logbook and observer data, recreational headboat logbook and private/charter survey, and fishery-independent data. The preferred alternatives for dolphin and wahoo would set the ABC at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively. The preferred alternatives for golden crab would set the ABC at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000 pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing ACLs, ACTs, and AMs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By constraining current harvest levels, ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to the recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase.

AN - 884409789; 14947-7_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to establish ACLs and accountability measures (AMs) for species in the Snapper-Grouper, Dolphin-Wahoo, Pelagic Sargassum Habitat, and Golden Crab Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the South Atlantic Region is proposed. The management area is from three to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and species affected by the proposed actions include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and 2 species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The Comprehensive ACL Amendment proposes the establishment of ACLs to prevent overfishing from occurring and AMs to prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and to correct overages of ACLs if they occur. Thirty-one actions analyzed in this draft EIS include: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP, including removing some species from the FMP and grouping some species together; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; annual catch targets to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin, wahoo, and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternative for modifying the snapper-grouper FMP would remove species based on the following criteria: 1) 80 percent or greater of landings occur in state waters; 2) combined state and federal landings are equal to 20,000 pounds annually; 3) if managed under the Florida Marine Life Rule; 4) four additional species (tomtate, jolthead porgy, knobbed porgy, and whitebone porgy). Species would be grouped based on the following criteria: associations based on life history, catch statistics from commercial logbook and observer data, recreational headboat logbook and private/charter survey, and fishery-independent data. The preferred alternatives for dolphin and wahoo would set the ABC at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively. The preferred alternatives for golden crab would set the ABC at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000 pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing ACLs, ACTs, and AMs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By constraining current harvest levels, ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to the recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase. AM actions in the future are expected to generate adverse indirect economic effects on fishery participants.

AN - 884409089; 14947-7_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to establish ACLs and accountability measures (AMs) for species in the Snapper-Grouper, Dolphin-Wahoo, Pelagic Sargassum Habitat, and Golden Crab Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the South Atlantic Region is proposed. The management area is from three to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and species affected by the proposed actions include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and 2 species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The Comprehensive ACL Amendment proposes the establishment of ACLs to prevent overfishing from occurring and AMs to prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and to correct overages of ACLs if they occur. Thirty-one actions analyzed in this draft EIS include: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP, including removing some species from the FMP and grouping some species together; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; annual catch targets to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin, wahoo, and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternative for modifying the snapper-grouper FMP would remove species based on the following criteria: 1) 80 percent or greater of landings occur in state waters; 2) combined state and federal landings are equal to 20,000 pounds annually; 3) if managed under the Florida Marine Life Rule; 4) four additional species (tomtate, jolthead porgy, knobbed porgy, and whitebone porgy). Species would be grouped based on the following criteria: associations based on life history, catch statistics from commercial logbook and observer data, recreational headboat logbook and private/charter survey, and fishery-independent data. The preferred alternatives for dolphin and wahoo would set the ABC at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively. The preferred alternatives for golden crab would set the ABC at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000 pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing ACLs, ACTs, and AMs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By constraining current harvest levels, ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to the recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase. AM actions in the future are expected to generate adverse indirect economic effects on fishery participants.

AN - 884409076; 14947-7_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to establish ACLs and accountability measures (AMs) for species in the Snapper-Grouper, Dolphin-Wahoo, Pelagic Sargassum Habitat, and Golden Crab Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the South Atlantic Region is proposed. The management area is from three to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and species affected by the proposed actions include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and 2 species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The Comprehensive ACL Amendment proposes the establishment of ACLs to prevent overfishing from occurring and AMs to prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and to correct overages of ACLs if they occur. Thirty-one actions analyzed in this draft EIS include: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP, including removing some species from the FMP and grouping some species together; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; annual catch targets to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin, wahoo, and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternative for modifying the snapper-grouper FMP would remove species based on the following criteria: 1) 80 percent or greater of landings occur in state waters; 2) combined state and federal landings are equal to 20,000 pounds annually; 3) if managed under the Florida Marine Life Rule; 4) four additional species (tomtate, jolthead porgy, knobbed porgy, and whitebone porgy). Species would be grouped based on the following criteria: associations based on life history, catch statistics from commercial logbook and observer data, recreational headboat logbook and private/charter survey, and fishery-independent data. The preferred alternatives for dolphin and wahoo would set the ABC at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively. The preferred alternatives for golden crab would set the ABC at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000 pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing ACLs, ACTs, and AMs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By constraining current harvest levels, ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to the recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase. AM actions in the future are expected to generate adverse indirect economic effects on fishery participants.

AN - 884408686; 14947-7_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit (ACL) Amendment to establish ACLs and accountability measures (AMs) for species in the Snapper-Grouper, Dolphin-Wahoo, Pelagic Sargassum Habitat, and Golden Crab Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for the South Atlantic Region is proposed. The management area is from three to 200 miles off the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and species affected by the proposed actions include: 73 species in the snapper grouper complex, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, and 2 species of Sargassum, a free-floating seaweed that provides essential habitat to numerous fish species and protected resources. The Comprehensive ACL Amendment proposes the establishment of ACLs to prevent overfishing from occurring and AMs to prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and to correct overages of ACLs if they occur. Thirty-one actions analyzed in this draft EIS include: changes to the species managed by the snapper-grouper FMP, including removing some species from the FMP and grouping some species together; specification of an acceptable biological catch (ABC) for species in FMPs for snapper-grouper, dolphin-wahoo, golden crab, and Sargassum; annual catch targets to account for management uncertainty, such as compliance rates; jurisdictional allocations between the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, and sector allocations (between commercial and recreational sectors) for dolphin, wahoo, and snapper-grouper species; and management measures for wreckfish, dolphin, and wahoo. The preferred alternative for modifying the snapper-grouper FMP would remove species based on the following criteria: 1) 80 percent or greater of landings occur in state waters; 2) combined state and federal landings are equal to 20,000 pounds annually; 3) if managed under the Florida Marine Life Rule; 4) four additional species (tomtate, jolthead porgy, knobbed porgy, and whitebone porgy). Species would be grouped based on the following criteria: associations based on life history, catch statistics from commercial logbook and observer data, recreational headboat logbook and private/charter survey, and fishery-independent data. The preferred alternatives for dolphin and wahoo would set the ABC at 14.6 million pounds and 1.5 million pounds, respectively. The preferred alternatives for golden crab would set the ABC at two million pounds. An ACL is in place for Sargassum in the form of a 5,000 pound commercial quota and it is likely that there are no vessels harvesting Sargassum. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would ensure mortality is at or below the annual limits and targets for the respective species. Reducing the number of species in the snapper grouper FMP would reduce the administrative impacts of establishing, monitoring, and implementing ACLs, ACTs, and AMs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: By constraining current harvest levels, ACLs may lead to short-run reductions in gross revenue for the commercial sector, but may also generate higher long-run gross revenue as annual allowable harvest levels are raised due to the recovery of overfished stocks. Once the ACL is specified, the administrative burden associated with monitoring, enforcement, and implementing management measures would increase. AM actions in the future are expected to generate adverse indirect economic effects on fishery participants.

In-situ measurements of ammonia are needed to determine how ambient concentrations vary in different ecosystems and the extent to which emission sources contribute to those levels. The objective of this study was to measure and compare ammonia concentrations in two Tennessee Valley (USA) ecosystems: a forested rural area and a metropolitan site adjacent to a main transportation route. Integrated samples of atmospheric ammonia were collected with annular denuder systems for similar to 4weeks during the summer of 2009 in both ecosystems. Ancillary measurements of meteorological variables, such as wind direction and precipitation, were also conducted to determine any relationships with ammonia concentration. Measurements in the two ecosystems revealed ammonia concentrations that were mostly representative of background levels. Arithmetic means were 1.57+/-0.68 mu gm super(-3) at the metropolitan site and 1.60+/-0.77 mu gm super(-3) in the forest. The geometric mean concentrations for both sites were similar to 1.46 mu gm super(-3). Wind direction, and to a lesser extent air temperature and precipitation, did influence measured concentrations. At the metropolitan site, ammonia concentrations were slightly higher in winds emanating from the direction of the interstate highway. Meteorological variables, such as wind direction, and physical factors, such as topography, can affect measurement of ambient ammonia concentrations, especially in ecosystems distant from strong emission sources. The 12-h integrated sampling method used in this study was unable to measure frequent changes in ambient ammonia concentrations and illustrates the need for measurements with higher temporal resolution, at least similar to 1-2h, in a variety of diverse ecosystems to determine the behavior of atmospheric ammonia and its environmental effects.

AN - 872528398; 21591690 AB - Ciguatoxins are potent algal neurotoxins that concentrate in fish preyed upon by the critically endangered Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi). The only report for Hawaiian monk seal exposure to ciguatoxins occurred during a 1978 mortality event when two seal liver extracts tested positive by mouse bioassay. Ciguatoxins were thus proposed as a potential threat to the Hawaiian monk seal population. To reinvestigate monk seal exposure to ciguatoxins we utilized more selective detection methods, the Neuro-2A cytotoxicity assay, to quantify ciguatoxin activity and an analytical method LC-MS/MS to confirm the molecular structure. Tissue analysis from dead stranded animals revealed ciguatoxin activity in brain, liver, and muscle, whereas analysis of blood samples from 55 free-ranging animals revealed detectable levels of ciguatoxin activity (0.43 to 5.49 pg/mL P-CTX-1 equiv) in 19% of the animals. Bioassay-guided LC fractionation of two monk seal liver extracts identified several ciguatoxin-like peaks of activity including a peak corresponding to the P-CTX-3C which was confirmed present by LC-MS/MS. In conclusion, this work provides first confirmation that Hawaiian monk seals are exposed to significant levels of ciguatoxins and first evidence of transfer of ciguatoxin to marine mammals.

This paper addresses the need for a reliable ENSO index that allows for the historical definition of ENSO events in the instrumental record back to 1871. The Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) was originally defined as the first seasonally varying principal component of six atmosphere-ocean (COADS) variable fields in the tropical Pacific basin. It provides for a more complete and flexible description of the ENSO phenomenon than single variable ENSO indices such as the SOI or Nino 3.4 SST. Here we describe our effort to boil the MEI concept down to its most essential components (based on SLP, SST) to enable historical analyses that more than double its period of record to 1871-2005. The new MEI.ext confirms that ENSO activity went through a lull in the early- to mid-20th century, but was just about as prevalent one century ago as in recent decades. We diagnose strong relationships between peak amplitudes of ENSO events and their duration, as well as between their peak amplitudes and their spacing (periodicity). Our effort is designed to help with the assessment of ENSO conditions through as long a record as possible to be able to differentiate between 'natural' ENSO behaviour in all its rich facets, and the 'Brave New World' of this phenomenon under evolving GHG-related climate conditions. So far, none of the behaviour of recent ENSO events appears unprecedented, including duration, onset timing, and spacing in the last few decades compared to a full century before then.

Building on extensive national and international partnerships, many new and improved contributing datasets have been processed into a uniform format and combined with the previous Release 2.4. The new data range from early non-instrumental ship observations to measurements initiated in the twentieth century from buoys and other automated platform types. Improvements to existing data include replacing preliminary Global Telecommunication System (GTS) receipts with more reliable, delayed mode reports for post-1997 data, and in the processing and quality control (QC) of humidity observations. Over the entire period of record, spatial and temporal coverage has been enriched and data and metadata quality has been improved. Along with the observations, now updated monthly in near real time, Release 2.5 includes quality-controlled monthly summary products for 2? latitude X 2? longitude (since 1800) and 1? X 1? boxes (since 1960), together with multiple options for access to the data and products. The measured and estimated data in Release 2.5 are subject to many technical changes, multiple archive sources, and historical events throughout the more than three-century record. Some of these data characteristics are highlighted, including known unresolved errors and inhomogeneities, which may impact climate and other research applications. Anticipated future directions for ICOADS aim to continue adding scientific value to the observations, products, and metadata, as well as strengthen the cooperative enterprise through expanded linkages to international initiatives and organisations.

JUDE, PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOUISIANA. AN - 879466795; 14942-1_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement or modification of 32 miles of non-federal levee (NFL) system for incorporation into the New Orleans to Venice (NOV) federal project and the construction from ground level of two miles of earthen back levees in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The project area is located 15 miles south of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River between Oakville and St. Jude. Plaquemines Parish has long, narrow strips of protected land on both sides of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane and flood protection is currently provided by a system of federal levees along the river and federal and non-federal back levees which border the Gulf of Mexico's coastal wetlands and protect the land between the gulf and river from tropical storm surges. The distance between the gulf-side back levees and the river varies, but is usually less than one mile. The NFL, which is currently maintained by Plaquemines Parish, was authorized for incorporation into the NOV federal project after extensive damage during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Key issues identified during scoping include the level of risk reduction, levee alignment, project cost and duration, and impacts to wetlands. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action and selected alternative (Alternative B), existing levee sections would be raised to a two percent design elevation, or approximately a 50-year level of risk reduction (LORR), and all five sections of the NFL would be incorporated into the federal hurricane and storm protection system by employing alignment alternatives which closely follow the existing levee alignment. The existing levee elevation would increase by three to four feet, National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NVGD), in the northern portion of the project area and by eight feet, NVGD, in the southern portion. Alternative B2, which is the locally preferred alternative, would be identical to the proposed action except that higher levee grades would be employed in Section 1. Under Alternative C, the levees in Sections 1 through 3 would be raised to a two percent LORR and incorporated into the federal system; and at the end of Section 3, the levee would be designed to turn 90 degrees to the east to tie in to the existing Mississippi River levee. The estimated fully funded cost of the selected alternative, including mitigation, is $456 million. Levee replacement and modification would be conducted over a three to five year period subject to weather and funding. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would provide enhanced storm surge protection and protect evacuation routes, thus reducing risk to public safety and damage from catastrophic storm inundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of proposed government-furnished borrow areas could impact a total of 908.6 acres of farmland. Direct impacts to 46 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat, 24.9 acres of swamp habitat, 10.4 acres of fresh marsh, 16.1 acres of brackish marsh, and 144.9 acres of wetland pasture would require mitigation. Construction activities would cause temporary disruptions to traffic and generate noise and dust. Temporarily increased sediment loads would result in minor increases in suspended solids and turbidity in local waterways.

AN - 871153015; 21526791 AB - In recent years metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) of silicon, in which etching is confined to a small region surrounding metal catalyst templates, has emerged as a promising low cost alternative to commonly used three-dimensional (3D) fabrication techniques. We report a new methodology for controllable folding of 2D metal catalyst films into 3D structures using MaCE. This method takes advantage of selective patterning of the catalyst layer into regions with mismatched characteristic dimensions, resulting in uneven etching rates along the notched boundary lines that produce hinged 2D templates for 3D folding. We explore the dynamics of the folding process of the hinged templates, demonstrating that the folding action combines rotational and translational motion of the catalyst template, which yields topologically complex 3D nanostructures with intimately integrated metal and silicon features.

AN - 871152905; 21604794 AB - In situ dynamic imaging, using an environmental transmission electron microscope, was employed to evaluate the catalytic activity of Au/SiO(2), Ni/SiO(2), and Au-Ni/SiO(2) nanoparticles for the formation of one-dimensional (1-D) carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and nanotubes (CNTs). While pure-Au thin-film samples were inactive for carbon deposition at 520 °C in 0.4 Pa of C(2)H(2), multiwalled CNTs formed from Ni thin films samples under these conditions. The number of nanoparticles active for CNF and CNT formation increased for thin films containing 0.1 mol fraction and 0.2 mol fraction of Au but decreased as the overall Au content in thin films was increased above 0.5 mol fraction. Multiwalled CNTs formed with a root growth mechanism for pure Ni samples, while with the addition of 0.1 mol fraction or 0.2 mol fraction of Au, CNFs were formed via a tip growth mechanism at 520 °C. Single-walled CNTs formed at temperatures above 600 °C in samples doped with less than 0.2 mol fraction of Au. Ex situ analysis via high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed that catalytically active particles exhibit a heterogeneous distribution of Au and Ni, where only a small fraction of the overall Au content was found in the portion of each particle actively involved in the nucleation of graphitic layers. Instead, the majority of the Au was found to be segregated to an inactive capping structure at one the end of the particles. Using density-functional theory calculations, we show that the activation energy for bulk diffusion of carbon in Ni reduces from ≈1.62 eV for pure Ni to 0.07 eV with the addition of small amounts (≈0.06 mol fraction) of Au. This suggests that the enhancement of C diffusion through the bulk of the particles may be responsible for improving the number of particles active for nucleating the 1-D carbon nanostructures and thereby the yield.

The main benefit of installing FVDs into structures is to dissipate larger portions of earthquake induced energy through viscous damping, thereby decreasing energy dissipation demands on structural members, which, in turn, reduces structural damage. The objective of this paper is to propose a simple numerical algorithm for analysing the dynamic response and energy transfer of inelastic structures with nonlinear FVDs. This numerical algorithm uses the state space method of dynamic analysis, an explicit time-stepping method that has proven to be both numerically accurate and time efficient, as well as the force analogy method to determine the inelasticity of structures and to quantify the corresponding plastic energy when inelastic structural behaviour occurs. Numerical verification of the algorithm is performed by comparing nonlinear time history structural responses of using a linear FVD in a single degree of freedom system. Application of the algorithm on studying the effectiveness of installing FVDs with different nonlinear power law coefficients and damping coefficients are also investigated and presented.

This research presents the analysis of rates and patterns of land cover change in Pando, northern Bolivia, an area with most of its tropical humid forest still intact. Using a decision tree classifier, five forest/non-forest (FNF) classifications were created for 1986, 1991, 1996, 2000, and 2005 from 40 Landsat images that were preprocessed and mosaicked. FNF trajectory images were created for each date pair to indicate areas of stable forest and non-forest, and areas and rates of de/reforestation. Mean patch size, perimeter-area ratio, fractal dimension, and aggregation index metrics were calculated for the FNF trajectory images based on increasing buffer distances from road and along the main access road. In 2005, forest covered 95% of the area in Pando. Large areas of aggregated deforestation occur nearest the department capital of Cobija, along the border with Brazil, and about 50 km west and east of Cobija along the principal access road. Deforestation becomes patchier with increased distance from the population center and laterally from the road. Multiple non-linear relationships exist between the fragmentation metrics and distance from road. The results have implications for understanding and managing the spatial contiguity of these forests, which provide valuable ecological services as well as the livelihood base for many inhabitants.

The colloidal stability of 20 nm citrate-AgNPs dispersed in the presence of each constituent of the synthetic lung fluid (individually, the complete fluid, and without additives) was observed during titration of increasing sodium chloride concentration. A variety of complementary in situ measurement techniques were utilized, including dynamic light scattering, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering, which provided a collective set of information that enabled far better understanding of the dispersion behavior in the fluid than any one technique alone. It was observed that AgNPs continued to adsorb bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein from the synthetic lung fluid solution as the sodium chloride concentration increased, until a maximum BSA coating was achieved prior to reaching the physiological sodium chloride concentration of 154 mmol L super(-1). BSA was determined to be the constituent of the synthetic lung fluid that is required to provide colloidal stability at high salt loadings, though the phospholipid constituent exerts a subtle effect. Additionally, as AgNPs are a distinctly different class of nanoparticles apart from the carbon nanotubes and titanium dioxide nanoparticles initially reported to be dispersible using this fluid, this work also demonstrates the broad applicability of synthetic lung fluid in providing stable dispersions for engineered nanoparticles for use in biological assays.

Given technological advances and the proliferation of data streams from net mensuration equipment and global positioning system (GPS), techniques for estimating survey effort can be improved. Here we investigate new analytical techniques for improving the accuracy and precision of survey effort estimation. Sources of error and bias associated with two of the components used to compute area swept as a measure of fishing effort, distance fished by the trawl and net spread, are systematically examined and their influence quantified using both simulated and survey data. New analytical methods, a cubic spline smoothing algorithm to smooth GPS and net spread data, a haversine great circle algorithm to calculate distance between smoothed GPS track points, and a sequential outlier rejection algorithm to diminish the influence of noise on mean net spread estimates are shown to reduce or even eliminate the influence of biased observations on area swept estimators.

The fishery is almost completely based on lobsters just molting to legal size each year and thus is vulnerable to changes in environmental or ecological conditions that reduce recruitment. I use a bioeconomic model of the fishery that incorporates an empirically estimated vessel-level production function to evaluate how a reduction in recruitment might affect profitability and optimal effort levels relative to recent years. While large reductions in effort would almost certainly be required to maintain fishery profitability, the degree of effort reduction and the optimal seasonal distribution of effort and catch are sensitive to the time series of data used to estimate the production function. Because of the unidirectional upward trend in recruitment and catches, it is unclear whether changes in the production function are due to technological innovation or ecological change. However, the answer has important implications for the level of effort the fishery may be able to profitably support in the future.

The active NW Rota-1 Volcano in the Mariana arc has erupted near-primitive lavas, which we have sampled with ROV Hyper-Dolphin (HPD). Samples from the summit (HPD480) and eastern flank (HPD488) include 17 magnesian basalts (51-52 wt % SiO (sub 2) ) with 7.5-9.5 wt % MgO and Mg-number of 61-67, indicating little fractionation. Olivine phenocrysts are as magnesian as Fo (sub 93) and contain 0.4 wt % NiO; the Cr/(Cr + Al) values of spinels are mostly 0.5-0.8, indicating equilibrium with depleted mantle. There are three petrographic groups, based on phenocryst populations: (1) cpx-olivine basalt (COB); (2) plagioclase-olivine basalt (POB); (3) porphyritic basalt. Zr/Y and Nb/Yb are higher in POB (3.1-3.2 and 1.2-1.5, respectively) than in COB (Zr/Y = 2.8-3.0 and Nb/Yb = 0.7-0.9), suggesting that POB formed from lower degrees of mantle melting, or that the COB mantle source was more depleted. On the other hand, COB have Ba/Nb (70-80) and Th/Nb (0.4-0.5) that are higher than for POB (Ba/Nb = 30-35 and Th/Nb = 0.1-0.2), and also have steeper light rare earth element (LREE)-enriched patterns. Moreover, COB have enriched (super 87) Sr/ (super 86) Sr and (super 143) Nd/ (super 144) Nd, and higher Pb isotope values, suggesting that COB has a greater subduction component than POB. (super 176) Hf/ (super 177) Hf between COB and POB are similar and Hf behavior in COB and POB is similar to that of Zr, Y and HREE, suggesting that Hf is not included in the subduction component, which produced the differences between COB and POB. The calculated primary basaltic magmas of NW Rota-1 Volcano (primary COB and POB magmas) indicate segregation pressures of 2-1.5 GPa (equivalent to 65-50 km depth). These magmas formed by 24-18% melting of mantle peridotite having Mg-number approximately 89.5. Diapiric ascent of hydrous peridotite mixed heterogeneously with sediment melts may be responsible for the NW Rota-1 basalts. These two basalt magma types are similar to those found at Sumisu and Torishima Volcanoes in the Izu-Bonin Arc, with COB representing wetter and POB representing drier magmas, where subduction zone-derived melt components are coupled with the water contents.

The forecasts exhibit higher quality in summer than in winter and there is some evidence that they have improved over the course of the evaluation. Five individual forecasters made the majority of the forecasts and differences in their forecasts are on the order of the overall variability of the forecast quality. As a result, the forecasts appear to come from a single unit, rather than from a group of individuals. The graphical description of the probability of detection and frequency of hits recently developed by Roebber is a valuable tool for displaying the time series of lightning forecast performance. It also appears that, even though they are not intended for that purpose, using the lightning forecasts as a low-end forecast of severe thunderstorms is potentially useful for decision makers.

In this study, archived MQPEs over 1997-2006 for the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC) area of responsibility were readjusted at monthly and daily scales using two gridded gauge products. The original and readjusted MQPEs were applied as forcing to the NWS Distributed Hydrologic Model for 12 catchments in the domain of MARFC. The resultant hourly streamflow simulations were compared for two subperiods divided along November 2003, when a software error that gave rise to a low bias in MQPEs was fixed. It was found that readjustment at either time scale improved the consistency in the bias in streamflow simulations. For the earlier period, independent monthly and daily readjustments considerably improved the streamflow simulations for most basins as judged by bias and correlation. By contrast, for the later period the effects were mixed across basins. It was also found that 1) readjustments tended to be more effective in the cool rather than warm season, 2) refining the readjustment resolution to daily had mixed effects on streamflow simulations, and 3) at the daily scale, redistributing gauge rainfall is beneficial for periods with substantial missing MQPEs.

Population Characteristics AN - 881455657; ED520731 AB - This report discusses school enrollment levels and trends in the population aged 3 and older based on data collected in 2008 by the U.S. Census Bureau in the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS). This is the second report in a series of reports using both ACS and CPS data to discuss school enrollment. The two surveys are used in this report because of their complimentary strengths in providing data on enrollment. The ACS is a valuable source of school enrollment data because of its large sample size and ability to provide statistics for small levels of geography. The CPS data offer a detailed selection of questions on school enrollment, allowing for unique analysis. Highlights of the report are: (1) Enrollment in Grades 1 through 12 fell from 50.0 million in 2000 to 49.3 million in 2008; (2) In 2008, college enrollment was at an all-time high with 18.6 million students enrolled, up 22 percent from 15.3 million in 2000; (3) Two-year college enrollment was also at an all-time high in 2008, with 5.3 million students enrolled, up 40 percent from 3.8 million in 2000; (4) In 2008, 1 million Hispanic students were enrolled in 2-year colleges, up 85 percent from 540,000 in 2000; (5) The number of students enrolled in nursery school in 2008 was not statistically different from the number of students enrolled in 1998; however, there were changes in the race and Hispanic origin of the students; and (6) In October 2008, the majority of kindergarten students, 72 percent, were enrolled in full-day kindergarten programs, up from 28 percent of students enrolled in full-day kindergarten programs in 1978.

Varying degrees of natural recovery have been observed for grounding injuries, limiting recovery prediction capabilities, and therefore, management's ability to focus restoration efforts where natural recovery is unlikely. To improve our capacity for predicting seagrass injury recovery, we used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate the relative contribution of specific injury attributes to the natural recovery of 30 seagrass groundings in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Florida, USA. Injury recovery was defined by three response variables examined independently: (1) initiation of seagrass colonization, (2) areal contraction, and (3) sediment in-filling. We used a global model and all possible subsets for four predictor variables: (1) injury age, (2) original injury volume, (3) original injury perimeter-to-area ratio, and (4) wave energy. Successional processes were underway for many injuries with fast-growing, opportunistic seagrass species contributing most to colonization. The majority of groundings that exhibited natural seagrass colonization also exhibited areal contraction and sediment in-filling. Injuries demonstrating colonization, contraction, and in-filling were on average older and smaller, and they had larger initial perimeter-to-area ratios. Wave energy was highest for colonizing injuries. The information-theoretic approach was unable to select a single "best" model for any response variable. For colonization and contraction, injury age had the highest relative importance as a predictor variable; wave energy appeared to be associated with second-order effects, such as sediment in-filling, which in turn, facilitated seagrass colonization. For sediment in-filling, volume and perimeter-to-area ratio had similar relative importance as predictor variables with age playing a lesser role than seen for colonization and contraction. Our findings confirm that these injuries naturally initiate seagrass colonization with the potential to recover to pre-injury conditions, but likely on a decadal scale given the slow growth of the climax species (Thalassia testudinum), which is often the most severely injured. Our analysis supports current perceptions that sediment in-filling is critical to the recovery process and indicates that in order to stabilize injuries and facilitate seagrass recovery, managers should consider immediate restorative filling procedures for injuries having an original volume >14-16 m super(3).

Marine Sanctuary ER - TY - JOUR T1 - An improved understanding of the Alaska Coastal Current; the application of a bivalve growth-temperature model to reconstruct freshwater-influenced paleoenvironments AN - 877849322; 2011-061490 AB - Shells of intertidal bivalve mollusks contain sub-seasonally to interannually resolved records of temperature and salinity variations in coastal settings. Such data are essential to understand changing land-sea interactions through time, specifically atmospheric (precipitation rate, glacial meltwater, river discharge) and oceanographic circulation patterns; however, independent temperature and salinity proxies are currently not available. We established a model for reconstructing daily water temperatures with an average standard error of approximately 1.3 degrees C based on variations in the width of lunar daily growth increments of Saxidomus gigantea from southwestern Alaska, United States. Temperature explains 70% of the variability in shell growth. When used in conjunction with stable oxygen isotope data, this approach can also be used to identify changes in past seawater salinity. This study provides a better understanding of the hydrological changes related to the Alaska Coastal Current (ACC). In combination with delta (super 18) O (sub shell) values, increment-derived temperatures were used to estimate salinity changes with an average error of 1.4+ or -1.1 PSU. Our model was calibrated and tested with modern shells and then applied to archaeological specimens. As derived from the model, the time interval of 988-1447 cal yr BP was characterized by approximately 1-2 degrees C colder and much drier (2-5 PSU) summers. During that time, the ACC was likely flowing much more slowly than at present. In contrast, between 599-1014 cal yr BP, the Aleutian low may have been stronger, which resulted in a 3 degrees C temperature decrease during summers and 1-2 PSU fresher conditions than today; the ACC was probably flowing more quickly at that time. The shell growth-temperature model can be used to estimate seasonal to interannual salinity and temperature changes in freshwater-influenced environments through time.

In the north-western United States, structures designed to aid adult Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata (Gairdner), passage are critically needed. The structures described here were fabricated in modular units and installed at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River (235km). They featured a series of aluminium ramps interspersed with rest boxes that prevented lamprey from moving back downstream. The effects of various design changes and structure operation (water volume delivered) were assessed using lamprey counts and passive integrated transponder detections. Up to 40% of the lamprey entered the structures and 90-100% of these passed through to the exit. Lowering water volume pumped to the structures had little effect on lamprey performance, but passage improved when a 3.8-m-long, steep (40 degree ) ramp was replaced with two, 1.4-m-long, 45 degree ramps. Pacific lamprey ascended the 8- to 9-m-high structures and entered the dam forebay in less than 1h. The success of these prototypes was attributed to site selection and attention to lamprey-specific performance.

The results show that a discontinuous abrupt change in the mid-1970s in the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis was observed in the tropical lower and middle stratospheric temperature. The shift in temperature and its timing agrees well with the climate regime shift discovered in the radiosonde observations (HadAT), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-40), and many previous studies and manifests a statistically significant change at the 95% confidence level. A corresponding change of the SRI was identified in the mid 1970s although the statistical t test value is not very high. The running correlation with a 21-year moving time window exhibits a strong positive correlation between the solar cycle and atmospheric temperature in the tropical stratosphere during the period of 1948-2007. However, the positive correlation was broken at the time of the mid-1970s abrupt change and two peak positive correlation points were observed in 1972 and 1982, respectively.

Bigelow, and Pisces in response to the oil spill of the Deepwater Horizon 252 well. Most of the data are from near the well and were obtained from July 1, 2010 to August 30, 2010. The purpose of these measurements was to assess the accuracy of the oxygen sensors on a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor, henceforth referred to as CTD/O[sub 2], and to determine if the CTD/O[sub 2] sensor provided (low) biased readings in the presence of oil. Based on the analysis, we believe that the O[sub 2] analysis from the CTD/02 and Winkler systems on the ships were accurate to within 2%, with exceptions listed in the following paragraph. The depression in O[sub 2] values observed by the CTD/O[sub 2] at depths of 1000-1300 m in the layer with diffuse oil were verified by the Winkler measurements and are attributed to oxidation of the oil and associated gas.

The direct way to obtain the resonance modes of a water reservoir is by solving the boundary problem for the eigenfunctions of the linearized shallow-water wave equation. The principal difficulty of posing such a problem for a basin coupled to an ocean is specifying the boundary between the two. The technique developed in this work allows the normal modes of a semi-enclosed water body to be obtained without a-priori restricting the resonator area. The technique utilizes complex Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of modeled tsunami wave fields. On the examples of Poverty Bay in New Zealand and Monterey Bay in California (United States), we demonstrate that the normal modes can be identified and isolated using the EOFs of a data set comprised of the concatenated time-series collected from different tsunami scenarios in a basin. The analysis of the modeled tsunami wave fields for the normal modes can also answer the question of how likely and under which conditions the different modes are exited, due to feasible natural events.

Existing methods did not allow for easy replication, were costly, and were more suited for other gases, such as CO (sub 2) , that do not react with collection surfaces. To overcome these problems, we developed a method that simultaneously collects up to ten soil pore air samples. We used a single mass flow controller, one pump, and two banks of rotameters to draw soil air out of the ground at 25 smL min (super -1) onto gold-coated quartz traps. Analysis of the gold traps was performed with a Tekran 2500 CVAFS mercury detector. The system was field tested at the Piney Reservoir Ambient Air Monitoring Station in western Maryland. Our system was relatively precise and accurate. For example, replicate TGM concentrations differed by less than 25% and recovery of known amounts of mercury were greater than 95%. Field measurements showed that the maximum soil pore air TGM concentrations, between 3 and 4 ng m (super -3) , occurred at the Oe-A soil horizon interface. At all other depths, the total mercury concentrations were lower than the ambient air concentrations of 1.8 ng m (super -3) . We believe our new method can be used to precisely and accurately measure the TGM concentrations in unsaturated soils at multiple locations simultaneously.

Over the remote oceans, coarse-mode sea-salt particles dominate aerosol light scattering. Recent measurements suggest that direct emissions of ocean-derived particles also control the aerosol number concentration and thus the aerosol cloud condensation nuclei concentration. Measurements of atmospheric aerosols over the ocean include particles directly emitted from the ocean and particles produced by gas phase reactions in the atmosphere, making it difficult to distinguish between the two sources. Here we report recent measurements of particles directly emitted from the ocean using a newly developed in situ particle generator/sampler (SeaSweep). Bubbles were generated 1 m below the ocean surface alongside the research vessel Atlantis off the coast of California and swept into a hood/vacuum hose to feed a suite of instruments on board the ship measuring aerosol physical, chemical, optical, and cloud nucleating properties. The number size distribution of the directly emitted (nascent) particles had a dominant mode at 55-60 nm (dry diameter) and a secondary mode at 200-300 nm. The aerosol was not volatile at 230 degrees C. This temperature rules out ammonium sulfate and nitrate as significant components of the nascent aerosol but does not distinguish between particulate organic matter and sea salt. The organic component of the nascent aerosol volatilized at a temperature between 230 and 600 degrees C. The nascent aerosol was not enriched in Ca, K, or Mg above that found in surface seawater.

The nascent organic aerosol concentration did not increase in regions of higher surface seawater chlorophyll.

Recently discovered sinkhole vents in Lake Huron were found to discharge highly anoxic, reducing, high-sulfate and -chloride waters with strikingly different chemical signatures. We collected and analyzed a suite of water samples from three sinkhole vents and adjoining waters from Lake Huron for delta (super 18) O, delta D, (super 223,224,226,228) Ra and a suite geochemical ancilliary parameters. Our results show: i) Ra concentrations in the vent waters are 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of the lake water; ii) A plot of delta D vs delta (super 18) O show considerable deviation from the Global Meteoric Water Line indicating mixing of different water masses that have undergone different evaporation cycles; and iii) The variations in the (super 223) Ra/ (super 226) Ra and (super 224) Ra/ (super 228) Ra activity ratios in the vent waters is related to the time-scales involved in the vertical movement of the vent waters. We also have modeled the variations in the Ra activity ratios in the vent waters to obtain time scales of transport from the source waters to the place where the vent water is discharged.

With a moment magnitude (M (sub w) ) of 8.6, the event caused substantial shaking damage and land level changes between Simeulue Island in the north and the Batu Islands in the south. The earthquake also generated a tsunami, which was observed throughout the source region as well as on distant tide gauges. While the tsunami was not as extreme as the tsunami of December 26th, 2004, it did cause significant flooding and damage at some locations. The spatial and temporal proximity of the two events led to a unique set of observational data from the earthquake and tsunami as well as insights relevant to tsunami hazard planning and education efforts.

Empirical tests such as ASTM E736 have been widely adopted by the industry in an effort to ensure sufficient bonding between SFRMs and steel structures. ASTM E736 assesses the adhesion of SFRMs by using tensile strength, a failure parameter that depends on the test geometry and has limited use for predicting failure in other geometries and conditions. These limitations have produced an urgent need for a scientifically based adhesion test method. In this paper, we propose a new test method that would provide more fundamental information that is independent of test geometry and has predictive capability. This paper utilizes a fracture energy-based failure criterion (GC) to characterize the adhesion between SFRMs and steel. The theoretical basis of this test method is validated by experimental compliance tests. The dependence of GC on various test variables such as specimen width, substrate type, SFRM formulation, and test rate are examined. A comparison between this new test method, and the current widely used strength-based test method is also presented.

[Part 5 of 5] T2 - CHUKCHI SEA PLANNING AREA OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE 193 IN THE CHUKCHI SEA, ALASKA OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 2007). AN - 876254311; 14925-4_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The sale of oil and gas lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is reconsidered. The affected area includes the Chukchi Sea marine environment, the associated coastal plain, and the North Slope Borough of Alaska. The Chukchi OCS is viewed as one of the most petroleum-rich offshore provinces in the U.S. and the current assessment by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) indicates that the mean recoverable oil resource amounts to 12 billion barrels, with a five percent chance of 29 billion barrels. The mean undiscovered gas resources total 76.77 trillion cubic feet with a five percent chance of 209.53 trillion cubic feet. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, the lease sale, designated Sale 193, was held in February 2008. BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast, known as the polynya or spring lead system. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. In view of the Deepwater Horizon event in the Gulf of Mexico, many commenters requested an analysis that takes into account the possibility of a blowout during exploration activities. This revised draft supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale. Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action. Portions of Chukchi Sale 193 could be affirmed, but leases issued on tracts within Corridor I would be cancelled. Alternative IV, which is the preferred alternative, is the original proposed action minus 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area designated as Corridor II. The Corridor II deferral area is a subset of the Corridor I deferral area analyzed under Alternative III. Alternative IV would affirm the issuance of the leases pursuant to Sale 193 as held and would be implemented by removing the suspension of operations imposed on the leases. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the Chuckchi leases would provide enormous supplies of oil for energy production, thus increasing the nation's energy independence. Development of the Chuckchi energy resource would employ thousands of workers and otherwise boost the regional and state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Discharges of muds, cuttings, and produced waters would impact water quality near platforms and wells. Construction would destroy benthos temporarily and disturb benthic habitat through the life of the project. Noise-related disturbance of fish and direct loss or degradation of fish habitat would occur. Seismic surveys, ship movements, drilling, platform and pipeline construction, and other activities would affect marine mammals and could impact federally protected bird species. A VLOS, although unlikely, would present sustained and significant degradation of water quality from hydrocarbon contamination, response and cleanup vessels, in-situ burning of oil, dispersant use, discharges and seafloor disturbance from relief well drilling, and activities on shorelines associated with clean-up, booming, beach cleaning, and monitoring. A VLOS could emit large amounts of regulated potentially harmful pollutants causing major air quality impacts. Phytoplankton, fish species, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, polar bear, marine and coastal birds, and coastal vegetation and wetlands could be significantly impacted. Environmental justice impacts on Inupiat Natives could occur because of their reliance on subsistence foods, and oil-spill impacts would affect subsistence resources and harvest practices, sociocultural systems, and human health.

Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action. Portions of Chukchi Sale 193 could be affirmed, but leases issued on tracts within Corridor I would be cancelled. Alternative IV, which is the preferred alternative, is the original proposed action minus 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area designated as Corridor II. The Corridor II deferral area is a subset of the Corridor I deferral area analyzed under Alternative III. Alternative IV would affirm the issuance of the leases pursuant to Sale 193 as held and would be implemented by removing the suspension of operations imposed on the leases. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the Chuckchi leases would provide enormous supplies of oil for energy production, thus increasing the nation's energy independence. Development of the Chuckchi energy resource would employ thousands of workers and otherwise boost the regional and state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Discharges of muds, cuttings, and produced waters would impact water quality near platforms and wells. Construction would destroy benthos temporarily and disturb benthic habitat through the life of the project. Noise-related disturbance of fish and direct loss or degradation of fish habitat would occur. Seismic surveys, ship movements, drilling, platform and pipeline construction, and other activities would affect marine mammals and could impact federally protected bird species. A VLOS, although unlikely, would present sustained and significant degradation of water quality from hydrocarbon contamination, response and cleanup vessels, in-situ burning of oil, dispersant use, discharges and seafloor disturbance from relief well drilling, and activities on shorelines associated with clean-up, booming, beach cleaning, and monitoring. A VLOS could emit large amounts of regulated potentially harmful pollutants causing major air quality impacts. Phytoplankton, fish species, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, polar bear, marine and coastal birds, and coastal vegetation and wetlands could be significantly impacted. Environmental justice impacts on Inupiat Natives could occur because of their reliance on subsistence foods, and oil-spill impacts would affect subsistence resources and harvest practices, sociocultural systems, and human health.

AN - 876254308; 14925-4_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The sale of oil and gas lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea Planning Area of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is reconsidered. The affected area includes the Chukchi Sea marine environment, the associated coastal plain, and the North Slope Borough of Alaska. The Chukchi OCS is viewed as one of the most petroleum-rich offshore provinces in the U.S. and the current assessment by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) indicates that the mean recoverable oil resource amounts to 12 billion barrels, with a five percent chance of 29 billion barrels. The mean undiscovered gas resources total 76.77 trillion cubic feet with a five percent chance of 209.53 trillion cubic feet. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, the lease sale, designated Sale 193, was held in February 2008. BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast, known as the polynya or spring lead system. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. In view of the Deepwater Horizon event in the Gulf of Mexico, many commenters requested an analysis that takes into account the possibility of a blowout during exploration activities. This revised draft supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale.

The Chukchi OCS is viewed as one of the most petroleum-rich offshore provinces in the U.S. and the current assessment by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) indicates that the mean recoverable oil resource amounts to 12 billion barrels, with a five percent chance of 29 billion barrels. The mean undiscovered gas resources total 76.77 trillion cubic feet with a five percent chance of 209.53 trillion cubic feet. After the release of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area final EIS in June 2007, the lease sale, designated Sale 193, was held in February 2008. BOEMRE accepted high bids of $2.7 billion and issued 487 leases for 2.8 million acres. The sale area excluded a 15- to 50-mile-wide corridor along the coast, known as the polynya or spring lead system. Water depths in the sale area vary from 95 feet to 262 feet, with a small portion of the northeast corner deep-ending to 9,800 feet in the Barrow Canyon. After a lawsuit challenge and a court remand of Sale 193, a September 2010 draft supplemental EIS provided further analysis of natural gas development in the Chukchi Sea. In view of the Deepwater Horizon event in the Gulf of Mexico, many commenters requested an analysis that takes into account the possibility of a blowout during exploration activities. This revised draft supplemental EIS relies on the existing analysis provided by the Sale 193 final EIS, analyzes additional information which has become available since the publication of the final EIS, adds new analysis on the impact of natural gas development, and analyzes a hypothetical very large oil spill (VLOS) scenario, defined as a spill more than or equal to 150,000 barrels of oil. Four alternatives are considered. Alternative I is the original proposed action to offer for lease 6,156 whole or partial blocks covering 34 million acres. Alternative II is the No Action Alternative and would require cancellation of all leases awarded following the February 2008 sale. Under Alternative III, a corridor extending 60 miles offshore along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area would be excluded to protect important bowhead whale habitat. Alternative III would offer 1,765 whole or partial blocks comprising 9.1 million acres and the deferral of Corridor I would result in a reduction of 36 percent of the commercial resources opportunity index from the proposed action. Portions of Chukchi Sale 193 could be affirmed, but leases issued on tracts within Corridor I would be cancelled. Alternative IV, which is the preferred alternative, is the original proposed action minus 795 whole or partial blocks along the coastward edge of the sale area designated as Corridor II. The Corridor II deferral area is a subset of the Corridor I deferral area analyzed under Alternative III. Alternative IV would affirm the issuance of the leases pursuant to Sale 193 as held and would be implemented by removing the suspension of operations imposed on the leases. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the Chuckchi leases would provide enormous supplies of oil for energy production, thus increasing the nation's energy independence. Development of the Chuckchi energy resource would employ thousands of workers and otherwise boost the regional and state economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Discharges of muds, cuttings, and produced waters would impact water quality near platforms and wells. Construction would destroy benthos temporarily and disturb benthic habitat through the life of the project. Noise-related disturbance of fish and direct loss or degradation of fish habitat would occur. Seismic surveys, ship movements, drilling, platform and pipeline construction, and other activities would affect marine mammals and could impact federally protected bird species. A VLOS, although unlikely, would present sustained and significant degradation of water quality from hydrocarbon contamination, response and cleanup vessels, in-situ burning of oil, dispersant use, discharges and seafloor disturbance from relief well drilling, and activities on shorelines associated with clean-up, booming, beach cleaning, and monitoring. A VLOS could emit large amounts of regulated potentially harmful pollutants causing major air quality impacts. Phytoplankton, fish species, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, polar bear, marine and coastal birds, and coastal vegetation and wetlands could be significantly impacted. Environmental justice impacts on Inupiat Natives could occur because of their reliance on subsistence foods, and oil-spill impacts would affect subsistence resources and harvest practices, sociocultural systems, and human health.

Preparation date: May 27, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Spatial and temporal resolution of carbon flux estimates for 1983-2002 AN - 876247340; 14941301 AB - We discuss the spatial and temporal resolution of monthly carbon flux estimates for the period 1983-2002 using a fixed-lag Kalman Smoother technique with a global chemical transport model, and the GLOBALVIEW data product. The observational network has expanded substantially over this period, and the flux estimates are better constrained provided by observations for the 1990's in comparison to the 1980's. The estimated uncertainties also decrease as observational coverage expands. In this study, we use the Globalview data product for a network that changes every 5 yr, rather than using a small number of continually-operating sites (fewer observational constraints) or a large number of sites, some of which may consist almost entirely of extrapolated data. We show that the discontinuities resulting from network changes reflect uncertainty due to a sparse and variable network. This uncertainty effectively limits the resolution of trends in carbon fluxes, and is a potentially significant source of noise in assimilation systems that allow changes in observation distribution between assimilation time steps. The ability of the inversion to distinguish, or resolve, carbon fluxes at various spatial scales is examined using a diagnostic known as the resolution kernel. We find that the global partition between land and ocean fluxes is well-resolved even for the very sparse network of the 1980's, although prior information makes a significant contribution to the resolution. The ability to distinguish zonal average fluxes has improved significantly since the 1980's, especially for the tropics, where the zonal ocean and land biosphere fluxes can be distinguished. Care must be taken when interpreting zonal average fluxes, however, since the lack of air samples for some regions in a zone may result in a large influence from prior flux estimates for these regions. We show that many of the TransCom 3 source regions are distinguishable throughout the period over which estimates are produced. Examples are Boreal and Temperate North America. The resolution of fluxes from Europe and Australia has greatly improved since the 1990's. Other regions, notably Tropical South America and the Equatorial Atlantic remain practically unresolved. Comparisons of the average seasonal cycle of the estimated carbon fluxes with the seasonal cycle of the prior flux estimates reveals a large adjustment of the summertime uptake of carbon for Boreal Eurasia, and an earlier onset of springtime uptake for Temperate North America. In addition, significantly larger seasonal cycles are obtained for some ocean regions, such as the Northern Ocean, North Pacific, North Atlantic and Western Equatorial Pacific, regions that appear to be well-resolved by the inversion.

I measure beneficiary welfare with a nested logit model of demand for Medicare HMO plans using detailed data on plan benefits. From this, I find that total beneficiary welfare provided by the program over the four-year period is about $61 billion (2000 dollars). I also use data on and estimates of the favorable selection enjoyed by Medicare HMOs from the research literature to estimate net costs of the program, which range from $21 billion to $31 billion (2000 dollars). Estimated net beneficiary welfare of the program therefore ranges from $30 billion to $40 billion and the estimated return on government spending ranges from 96 percent to 186 percent. Even though managed care plans are overpaid by Medicare, the program still enjoys a substantial return due to the popularity of its offerings. Adapted from the source document. JF - The B.E.

Percentage decreases in elemental carbon were much larger in winter than in summer. These data suggest that emissions controls have been effective in reducing particulate concentrations not only in polluted areas but also across the United States. Despite the reduction in elemental carbon, the simultaneous decrease in non-absorbing particles implies that the overall radiative forcing from these changes was toward warming. The use of a 2005 instead of 1990 as a baseline for climate-relevant emissions from the United States would imply a significantly lower baseline for aerosol emissions. The use of older data will overestimate the possibility for future reductions in warming due to black carbon controls.

AN - 866532242; 21506521 AB - Numerous opportunities exist to apply microfluidic technology to high-throughput and high-content cell-based assays. However, maximizing the value of microfluidic assays for applications such as drug discovery, screening, or toxicity evaluation will require assurance of within-device repeatability, day-to-day reproducibility, and robustness to variations in conditions that might occur from laboratory to laboratory. This report describes a study of the performance and variability of a cell-based toxicity assay in microfluidic devices made of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The assay involves expression of destabilized green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter of intracellular protein synthesis and degradation. Reduction in cellular GFP due to inhibition of ribosome activity by cycloheximide (CHX) was quantified with real-time quantitative fluorescence imaging. Assay repeatability was measured within a 64-chamber microfluidic device. Assay performance across a range of cell loading densities within a single device was assessed, as was replication of measurements in microfluidic devices prepared on different days. Assay robustness was tested using different fluorescence illumination sources and reservoir-to-device tubing choices. Both microfluidic and larger scale assay conditions showed comparable GFP decay rates upon CHX exposure, but the microfluidic data provided the higher level of confidence.

Ultravioletavisible absorbance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy were used to evaluate the colloidal stability of AgNPs in locally-obtained pond water, moderately hard reconstituted water alone or with natural organic matter (NOM), synthetic seawater, and also the individual chemicals most prevalent in seawater. Singly dispersed AgNPs in seawater and waters with greater than 20mmolL super(-1) sodium chloride were unstable, with the optical absorbance approaching zero within the first ten hours of mixing. Agglomeration rates as a function of water chemistry and NOM are tested as a hypothesis to explain the rates of disappearance of singly dispersed AgNPs. Other samples, mostly those with lower salinity or NOM, maintained varying degrees of colloidal stability during time studies up to 48h. This indicates likelihood that some AgNPs will be stable long enough in freshwater to successfully enter estuarine or marine systems. These results should enable a more efficient design of nanoEHS risk assessment experiments by predicting the aquatic or soil compartments at greatest potential risk for accumulation of and exposure to citrate capped 20nm AgNPs.

Watson) stand, and the daily and seasonal courses of evapotranspiration, CO2 flux, and canopy conductance were described, using eddy covariance. The ecosystem-level evapotranspiration results are consistent with those of other riparian studies; high vapor pressure deficit and increased groundwater depth resulted in reduced canopy conductance, and the annual cumulative evapotranspiration of 1095mm was more than double the magnitude of precipitation. In addition, the cottonwood forest was a strong sink of CO2, absorbing 310gCm degree 2 from the atmosphere in the first 365 days of the study. On weekly to annual time scales, hydrology was strongly linked with the net atmosphere-ecosystem exchange of CO2, with ecosystem productivity greatest when groundwater depth was approximately 2m below the ground surface. Increases in groundwater depth beyond the depth of 2m corresponded with decreased CO2 uptake and evapotranspiration.

Energy balance closure was also examined and the effects of the often-neglected advection terms on the energy budget were evaluated. The results show that neither vertical nor horizontal advection should be neglected for moderate distances downwind from heterogeneous boundaries, with the energy budget closure near the leading edge improved by more than 20% with the inclusion of the horizontal and vertical advection of latent and sensible heat. Significant mean advective horizontal and vertical flux divergences of water vapor and temperature were found even in typical daytime conditions. In stable conditions horizontal advection can be responsible for more than 15% of the scalar (water vapor) transport 136 canopy heights downwind of a change in water vapor source density and surface roughness.

This region is also among the fastest-warming areas on the planet, with 5-6 degree C increases in mean winter air temperatures and associated decreases in winter sea-ice cover. These biological and physical perturbations have affected the ecosystem profoundly. One hypothesis guiding ecological interpretations of changes in top predator populations in this region, the "sea-ice hypothesis," proposes that reductions in winter sea ice have led directly to declines in "ice-loving" species by decreasing their winter habitat, while populations of "ice-avoiding" species have increased. However, 30 y of field studies and recent surveys of penguins throughout the WAP and Scotia Sea demonstrate this mechanism is not controlling penguin populations; populations of both ice-loving Adelie and ice-avoiding chinstrap penguins have declined significantly. We argue in favor of an alternative, more robust hypothesis that attributes both increases and decreases in penguin populations to changes in the abundance of their main prey, Antarctic krill. Unlike many other predators in this region, Adelie and chinstrap penguins were never directly harvested by man; thus, their population trajectories track the impacts of biological and environmental changes in this ecosystem. Linking trends in penguin abundance with trends in krill biomass explains why populations of Adelie and chinstrap penguins increased after competitors (fur seals, baleen whales, and some fishes) were nearly extirpated in the 19th to mid-20th centuries and currently are decreasing in response to climate change.

Utilizing administrative data linking Workers' Compensation claim records to wage records from an Unemployment Insurance payroll tax database, I explore a different explanation and implement tests for "income effects" that exploit the fact that claimants no longer experience a distorted price of non-employment after an employment-limiting benefit ends. A pair of legislative changes to a Workers' Compensation benefit rate show little or no evidence of income effects and moderate evidence of income effects, respectively. JF - B.E.

P., Emmett, R. L., and Demer, D. A. 2011. Predicting habitat to optimize sampling of Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax). - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 867-879.More than 40 years after the collapse of the fishery for Pacific sardine, a renewed fishery has emerged off the west coasts of the United States and Canada. The daily egg production method (DEPM) and acoustic-trawl surveys are performed annually and, to minimize the uncertainties in the estimates, sampling effort needs to be allocated optimally. Here, based on a 12-year dataset including the presence/absence of sardine eggs and concomitant remotely sensed oceanographic variables, a probabilistic generalized additive model is developed to predict spatio-temporal distributions of habitat for the northern stock of Pacific sardine in the California Current. Significant relationships are identified between eggs and sea surface temperature, chlorophyll a concentration, and the gradient of sea surface altitude. The model accurately predicts the habitat and seasonal migration pattern of sardine, irrespective of spawning condition. The predictions of potential habitat are validated extensively by fishery landings and net-sample data from the northeast Pacific. The predicted habitat can be used to optimize the time and location of the DEPM, acoustic-trawl, and aerial surveys of sardine. The method developed and illustrated may be applicable too to studies of other stocks of sardine and other epipelagic fish in other eastern boundary, upwelling regions.

In the current study, substrates possessing gradient concentrations of immobilized peptides were used to measure the concentration-dependent proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells. Two bioactive peptides, one derived from extracellular matrix protein (ECM), GRGDS, and one from bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), KIPKASSVPTELSAISTLYL, were found to synergistically enhance cell proliferation, up-regulate osteogenic mRNA markers bone sialoprotein (BSP) and Runt-related transcription factor 2, and produce mineralization at densities greater than 130 pmol cm-2 (65 pmol cm-2 for each peptide). In addition, COOH-terminated self-assembled monolayers alone led to up-regulated BSP mRNA levels at densities above 200 pmol cm-2 and increased cell proliferation from day 3 to day 14. Taking further advantage of both the synergistic potentials and the concentration-dependent activities of ECM and growth-factor-derived peptides on proliferative activity and osteogenic differentiation, without the need for additional osteogenic supplements, will enable the successful incorporation of the bioactive species into biorelevant tissue engineering scaffolds.

Artificial caries-like dentin lesions were prepared in occlusal dentin of 10 caries-free molars and demineralized at pH 4.3 for 48 h (A). The cavities were restored with ART composite or RM-GIC. All restored teeth were sliced into 120 mu m sections. Transverse microradiography combined with digital image analysis was performed to analyze the change in mineral density at the same position in the specimens before and after 4 and 8 weeks remineralization/demineralization treatment. The mean percent remineralization +/- standard deviation after 4 and 8 weeks are: N with ART composite, 27 +/- 9 and 46 +/- 14, respectively; N with RM-GIC, 18 +/- 6 and 36 +/- 11, respectively; A with ART composite, 48 +/- 9 and 66 +/- 11, respectively; A with RM-GIC, 50 +/- 13 and 62 +/- 11, respectively. There was a significant difference between the ART composite and RM-GIC for the remineralization of natural caries (P < 0.05). For both restoratives there were significant differences between the remineralization of natural and artificial caries (P < 0.001). The ART composite and RM-GIC remineralized natural and artificial caries differently, most likely due to differences in the microstructure and composition of the caries dentin.

The data could be plotted linearly on a log-log plot of adhesive force versus time. Of the seven glasses tested, five had slopes close to 0.5, suggesting a square root dependence of the adhesive force on the contact time. Such behavior can be interpreted as a diffusion limited process occurring during the early stages of cell attachment. We suggest that the rate limiting step in the adhesion process is the diffusion of integrins resident in the cell membrane to the area of cell attachment. Data presented in this paper support the hypothesis of Hench et al. that strong adhesion depends on the formation of a calcium phosphate reaction layer on the surfaces of the glass. Glasses that did not form a calcium phosphate layer exhibited a weaker adhesive force relative to those glasses that did form a calcium phosphate layer.

But when and where do coastal residents and visitors need to evacuate, and where will they be safe? During the event, computer modeling was used to forecast tsunami arrival time, duration, and wave height for communities around the Pacific. These forecasts were then used by emergency managers to identify areas that needed to be evacuated and, perhaps as important, areas that did not need to be evacuated, allowing evacuation plans to be specifically targeted to communities at risk.

The Model is a cooperative effort involving the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), Ohio River Forecast Center (OHRFC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (LRD), Water Management Division. The scope of the modeling effort includes 20 locks and dams on the Ohio River, with storage areas and lateral structures such as levees, as well as bridges. The Model is comprised of over 2800 cross-sections, spanning approximately 1400 miles of modeled reach. The downstream boundaries are Chester, IL for the upstream portion on the Mississippi River and Carruthersville, MO for the downstream portion on the Mississippi River. We also include in the model the Kanawha River from the confluence with the Ohio River to Charleston, WV. The upstream boundaries include Braddock Lock and Dam, WV on the Monongahela River and Natrona, PA on the Allegheny River. The Model requires lateral and tributary inflows and is run in real-time; for the OHRFC the lateral and tributary inflows result from runoff produced by both observed and forecasted precipitation. Laterally, Model cross-sections extend to the 500-year floodplain limits, except for Mississippi River reaches that only extend to the USACE levees. We describe operational complications such as problems related to adequately handling real-time gate operations on the Ohio River mainstem and quantifying ungaged lateral inflows.

Students should already have some experience with the following: (1) Understanding and reading the pH scale; (2) Knowledge of the carbon cycle; (3) Using scientific notation to express large and small values; and (4) Reading chemical equations. This curriculum incorporates a scaled approach to learning. Each module offers activities at five different levels of student interaction, sometimes referred to as Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Interactivity, and Invention. The early levels are very directed and teacher-driven, which provides important first steps when learning something new. The levels of Adaptation through Invention are more student-directed and open up opportunities to design lessons featuring student inquiry. The levels serve a dual purpose. They are designed to engage students in increasingly sophisticated modes of understanding and manipulating data. They are also intended to help teachers familiarize themselves with online tools for accessing data and to provide them with models for integrating the use of real data into their classroom practice.

To determine if and why the science we funded was being applied to mitigate these issues, we collected data from projects' principal investigators and the intended users of their science through surveys, interviews, and progress reports. In a professionally facilitated focus group, we explored whether CICEET was organized to support the application of the science we funded. The results indicated that about a third of our investments were used to address a coastal management problem. Research was applied when the users' trusted that the science was relevant to their work, when technologies were demonstrated, and when effective outreach occurred. The results also suggested that funding agencies could increase the likelihood of application through linking researchers with intended users. Our analysis of CICEET's administrative strategies indicated that planning and implementation tools were burdened with too many purposes and were not linked to decisions to advance organizational goals. The results of this case study carry important implications for applied science funding organizations, especially those hoping to impact natural resource management issues.

A selection of AgNP materials with vendor-reported diameters ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm, various size distributions, and biocompatible capping agents including citrate, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone were studied. AgNPs were diluted with either deionized water, moderately hard reconstituted water, or moderately hard reconstituted water containing natural organic matter. Rigorous physico-chemical characterization by consensus methods and protocols where available enables an understanding of how the underlying measurement method impacts the reported size measurements, which in turn provides a more complete understanding of the state (size, size distribution, agglomeration, etc.) of the AgNPs with respect to the dispersion conditions. An approach to developing routine screening is also presented.

After more than 40 years of programmatic intervention, gaps persist. As such, this study analyzes two of the three original HEA programs-Upward Bound and Talent Search-focusing on race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, examining program effectiveness on a national scale. Based on deformed choices ideology and using a nationally representative data set, the National Education Longitudinal Study, event history analysis is employed to determine the effect of Upward Bound and Talent Search with respect to college attendance rates. Both hazard and risk ratios are used to determine the interaction between program participation and race/ethnicity. Program participation significantly benefits low-SES African American and impoverished Hispanic students, providing college attendance opportunities equivalent to that of average-SES White students. Once the school effect on the hazard function was taken into consideration, the benefit of program participation for African American and Hispanic students increased further. Future research is required to ensure effective use of appropriations, while implementation is extended to the masses of low-SES African American and Hispanic students. Directions of future research and policy implications are discussed further.

This review surveys a wide range of empirical experiences in different contexts around the world to help provide a fuller picture of potential and sometimes disparate consequences from privatization in general and new ways of organizing around fishing that can follow in the wake of such measures. Looking at the many different participants in the fishing industry -- from crew, small-boat owners, to households and communities -- as well as the diverse sociocultural contexts in which fishing takes place, enables a better understanding of who and what is impacted, how they are impacted, why and with what further consequences, such that communities come to be seen less oppositional to economy, but rather constituted by multiple scalar processes and by economic relations comprising different motivations and behaviors.

Our benthic foraminiferal stable isotope comparisons show that a large delta (super 13) C offset developed between mid-depth ( approximately 600 meters) and deep (>1000 meters) western North Atlantic waters in the early Oligocene, indicating the development of intermediate-depth delta (super 13) C and O (sub 2) minima closely linked in the modern ocean to northward incursion of Antarctic Intermediate Water. At the same time, the ocean's coldest waters became restricted to south of the ACC, probably forming a bottom-ocean layer, as in the modern ocean. We show that the modern four-layer ocean structure (surface, intermediate, deep, and bottom waters) developed during the early Oligocene as a consequence of the ACC.

In this study we present validation of annual growth mark deposition in green sea turtles Chelonia mydas. Fourteen green sea turtles, previously captured in nearshore waters in the main Hawaiian Islands and injected with oxytetracycline (OTC), were recovered stranded, and the humeri were prepared for skeletochronological analysis. Each sea turtle had received a single dose of 25 mg kg super(-1) OTC, with half injected into each pectoral muscle. Seven of these sea turtles either were not at large long enough or did not grow enough for either the OTC mark to be discernable in bone cross-sections or for a growth mark to have been deposited after the OTC mark. Based on the hypothesis of one mark per year, the expected number of growth marks was visible exterior to the OTC mark in the humeri of the 7 remaining sea turtles, providing strong validation that growth marks are annual. These results support the use of skeletochronology for age and growth rate estimates in green sea turtles and the need for validation to ensure accurate interpretation of growth marks.

We used line transect methods to survey 23,671km by helicopter and 3,694km by ship accounting for a total coverage of 53,217km2. We detected and identified 11,308 seals in 7,104 groups and estimated their abundance from estimates of densities using distance sampling methods and corrections for probability of haul out of seals derived from satellite telemetry of tagged seals. Crabeater seals were most abundant (ca 1.7 million) followed by Weddell seals (330,000), Ross seals (22,600), and leopard seals (15,000). Our estimates of abundance are difficult to directly compare with earlier estimates because of geographic areas covered and by our improvements in survey and analytical methods. Notwithstanding these limitations and with some adjustments for differences in methods, we found that our estimates of abundance for crabeater seals are similar to those from the most recent surveys in the Ross and Amundsen Seas and along the George-Oates Coast. Our estimates for Weddell seals are the first for the broad areas of pack ice that we surveyed in the Ross and Amundsen Seas but indicate that these habitats are ecologically important to this species. Our estimates of abundance of Ross seals were relatively similar to estimates for surveys in these areas in the 1970s and 1980s whereas our estimates of abundance of leopard seals were substantially lower.

Vessels alternated hook types throughout the longline gear and maintained a 1:1 ratio of circle hooks to their existing tuna or J-hooks. Observers monitored a total of 1393 sets; 1182 sets were circle hooks vs. tuna hooks and 211 sets were circle hooks vs. J-hooks. The 18 most-caught species were analyzed representing 97.6% of the total catch by number. Two statistical methods were used to assess differences in catch (randomization test) or catch rate (generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs)). There were no significant catch or catch rate (catchability) differences among hook types for bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), the primary target species, with either statistical method. However, GLMMs indicated that catch rates on circle hooks were significantly lower for 16 and 8 species compared to tuna and J-hooks, respectively. There were no significant differences in mean length of bigeye tuna among hook comparisons. Caught condition at retrieval varied considerably among the 18 species. Large circle hooks had greater effects on catch rates than on fish size selectivity and fish survival. We contend that reduced catch rates are a function of 18/0 circle hook shape, where the minimum width (4.9cm) was 57% and 25% wider than the Japanese tuna (3.1cm) and J-hook (3.9cm), respectively. In contrast to tuna hooks, large circle hooks have conservation potential for use in the world's pelagic tuna longline fleets for some highly migratory species, with catch rate reductions of 29.2-48.3% for billfish species and 17.1-27.5% for sharks.

The objectives of this analysis are to test the ceiling jet smoke algorithm and understand the limitations of analyzing signals from photoelectric smoke alarms located in the ceiling jet to estimate fire size and thereby support decision making by emergency responders. The analysis is restricted to flaming fires that produce turbulent plumes and can be represented by axisymmetric point sources. Two different smoke yields from the literature are used to obtain ceiling jet smoke density from JET. Depending on the value of the smoke yield used, the predictions of JET follow or do not follow the photoelectric smoke alarm signals. This suggests that additional information about how smoke yields are measured or that a better calibration technique is required in order to accurately model smoke alarm response.

A strong correlation in fish length among vermilion snapper cluster samples was found. Systematic studies of design effects of cluster sampling on different population parameters may be needed. Cluster sampling is commonly used in fishery-dependent and -independent surveys. However, the impact of the design effect of cluster sampling on stock assessments has often been overlooked. This study used vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens) samples collected from commercial fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico as an example to illustrate how cluster sampling may influence the precision of estimated mean lengths and total mortality. First, the within-cluster correlations in fish lengths among cluster samples collected from commercial fisheries or simulated based on different sampling designs were evaluated. Second, the effects of different cluster sampling designs on the precision of mean lengths were estimated using the bootstrap method. Finally, the impact of different sampling designs on the confidence intervals of total mortality, a key parameter for assessing a fish stock, was evaluated. A strong correlation in fish length among vermilion snapper cluster samples was found, which significantly decreased the precision in mean lengths and caused a several fold increase in the confidence interval for total mortality. The design effects of cluster sampling had a significant impact on (1) sampling design, (2) hypothesis testing, and (3) stock assessment. The large design effects of cluster sampling are quite common for reef fish. Systematic studies of design effects on different types of population parameters (means, ratios, frequency distributions, etc.) based on historical data may be needed for different species.

We empirically document the presence of these shifts for a broad list of medical conditions and assess the implications for price indexes. Following the earlier literature, we compare the growth of two price measures: one that tracks expenditures for the services actually provided to treat conditions and another that holds the mix of those services fixed over time. Using retrospective claims data for a sample of commercially insured patients, we find that, on average, expenditures to treat diseases rose 11% from 2003Q1 to 2005Q4 and would have risen even faster, 18%, had the mix of services remained fixed at the 2003Q1 levels. This suggests that fixed-basket price indexes, as are used in the official statistics, could overstate true price growth significantly.

Generalized linear models were used to assess the influence of several variables (month, year, habitat type, sea surface temperature, and turbidity) on predicted counts of cownose rays. The spatial distributions of rays were compared by season, and differences in group size were tested as a function of season and habitat. Cownose ray data associated with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) fishery independent gill net sampling program in Pamlico Sound was also examined as a function of season and year, and compared with aerial observations. Rays immigrated into the region in mid-spring (April), dispersed throughout the estuary in the summer (June-August), and emigrated by late autumn (November). Predicted counts were highest in the spring (April, May) and autumn (September-November) for coastal habitats and highest in the summer for estuarine habitats. Predicted counts were also higher in the coastal region than estuarine and higher when sea surface temperatures were above average. Comparison of group size by habitat type revealed substantially larger group sizes in the coastal habitat than the estuarine. In addition, for the estuary, spring surveys had larger group sizes than summer surveys; for the coastal habitat, autumn group sizes were significantly larger than spring or summer group sizes. The NCDMF gill net sampling surveys indicated similar trends in monthly migration patterns as well as increased ray abundance in 2008 and 2009 compared with 2003-2007. These results suggest that North Carolinaas waters serve as important habitat during the seasonal migration of cownose rays, as well as during the summer when the species may utilize the estuarine region as a nursery and/or for foraging.

Watershed studies demonstrate that several pesticides are present in surface and groundwater throughout the region. Between 1985 and 2004, the Maryland Department of Agriculture conducted surveys to estimate pesticide application within the state. Application rates of the dominant insecticides and herbicides were compiled over the survey period. Toxicity of the pesticides was tabulated, and the toxic units (TU) of applied active ingredients were calculated for several animal and plant species. The total mass of pesticides being applied to the watershed declined during the survey period. Due to increasing potency of the chemicals, however, total TUs applied have remained static or have significantly increased depending on the species of bioassay test organism used to assess toxicity. Applying estimates of pesticide transport into rivers in the Mississippi River basin show that significant quantities of pesticides may be entering Chesapeake Bay.

Between 2001 and 2006, archival tags were deployed in North Pacific albacore in two regions of the Northeast Pacific: (i) off Northern Baja California, Mexico and Southern California, and (ii) off Washington and Oregon. Twenty archival tagged fish were recovered with times at liberty ranging from 63 to 697days. Tagged albacore exhibited five distinct, seasonal migratory patterns. Depth and temperature data also showed a broad range of vertical behaviors. In certain regions such as off Baja California, Mexico, juvenile albacore make frequent dives to depths exceeding 200m during the day and remain in the surface mixed layer at night, whereas off Oregon and Washington they remain near the surface both day and night. Water temperatures encountered ranged from 3.3 to 22.7 degree C. Peritoneal temperatures were significantly higher by an average of approximately 4 degree C, as expected in these warm-bodied fish. This study provides a comprehensive examination of horizontal and vertical movements of juvenile albacore in the Northeast Pacific. The results reveal diverse behavior that varies regionally and seasonally as albacore move among different habitats throughout the entire North Pacific.

In this paper, data from 31 pop-up satellite archival tags attached to swordfish from (i) the eastern Pacific, (ii) central Pacific, and (iii) western North Atlantic-Caribbean were analyzed. Common across locations was a pronounced diel vertical pattern with daytime hours spent primarily below the thermocline and nighttime hours spent in warmer waters, close to the surface. One exception to this pattern was periodic daytime basking events which were most common in cooler waters off California. Maximum daytime depths were significantly correlated with light penetration as measured by the diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490nm. Temperature did not appear to influence daytime depths, and swordfish tolerated both extremely low temperatures (4 degree C) and rapid and dramatic temperature changes (>20 degree C). Temperature did appear to influence the nighttime depths in the Pacific where fish typically remained in the surface mixed layer. In contrast, in the warm tropical Atlantic this was not the case, and nighttime depths were much deeper. In all areas, nighttime depth increased around the full moon. Given the parallels between the vertical movement patterns of swordfish and those of the deep sound scattering layer we suggest that swordfish vertical distribution patterns, especially during daytime, are influenced largely by resource availability. At night, when swordfish are typically targeted by fisheries, both ambient light and temperature influence movements. Understanding vertical movement patterns of swordfish can help evaluate gear vulnerability, improve population assessments, and potentially reduce fisheries bycatch.

AN - 861205166; 20632087 AB - We examined benthic condition in three small watersheds in the Chesapeake Bay. Characterization of benthic condition was based on the combined measurements of benthic fauna, sediment toxicity, and sediment contaminant loads. Significant differences between watersheds were detected for sediment contaminant concentrations and water quality. The intensity of benthic impairment was greatest in the river surrounded by the most developed watershed. Spatial patterns of benthic condition were detected within all three watersheds. In contrast to current, intense focus on nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay, qualitative comparison of our findings to land-use patterns supports findings of other studies that suggest benthic condition in tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay may more closely relate to urbanization than agricultural land uses.

Data from several different sources led managers to discover high rates of sea turtle bycatch in an inshore large-mesh gillnet fishery in North Carolina, USA, particularly the emerging deep-water gillnet fishery. This paper reviews the history of how increased numbers of observed stranded sea turtles in 1999 led to the discovery that turtles were becoming entangled in the large-mesh gillnet fishery in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. It also demonstrates how a variety of data sets from fisheries observers, aerial surveys, and fisheries statistics programs contributed to shaping management of the large-mesh gillnet fishery in Pamlico Sound to decrease turtle bycatch and now point towards the need of additional assessment of gillnet bycatch in other parts of North Carolina. Finally, potential approaches are discussed for a more timely detection of future fishery conflicts and development of a plan to reduce otherwise inevitable bycatch and disruptions to fishing effort.

Often a combination of casting conditions and post deposition thermal treatment is used to optimize the morphology. In general, the development of microscopic crystals is deleterious, as the exciton diffusion length is [asymptotic to]10 nm. We find that the microscopic crystallization behavior in polythiophene/fullerene blends is strongly influenced by the substrate on which the BHJ is cast. With a silicon oxide substrate, the crystal nucleation density is high and significant crystallization occurs at a temperature of 140 [deg]C. On more hydrophobic substrates, significantly higher temperatures are required for observable crystallization. This difference is attributed to the interfacial segregation of the PCBM, controlled by the substrate surface energy. The substrate dependence of crystallization has significant implications on the fullerene crystal growth mechanisms and practical implications for device studies.

A "concatenated" gas saturation apparatus capable of simultaneous measurements on 18 samples was used for measurements on methyl palmitate, ethyl palmitate, methyl stearate, ethyl stearate, and eicosane (C sub(20H) sub(4)2) over the temperature range 323.15 K-343.15 K. Eicosane, a linear alkane with a well known vapor pressure curve (in the same range as the biodiesel esters), was included as a control compound. Importantly, the measured vapor pressures for eicosane are in excellent agreement with reference values, which is good evidence of the low uncertainty of the measurements on the biodiesel esters. Over this temperature range, the measured vapor pressure ranges were 0.145 Pa-1.11 Pa for methyl palmitate, 0.0687 Pa-0.616 Pa for ethyl palmitate, 0.0159 Pa-0.183 Pa for methyl stearate, and 0.00704 Pa-0.0912 Pa for ethyl stearate. The combined standard uncertainty in the vapor pressure measurements ranged from 8% to 15%.

Despite vast improvements in observational capabilities, observations alone are, and will continue to be, insufficient to fully determine the present state of the atmosphere, much less quantify the states of other components of the Earth system such as the ocean, land surface, cryosphere, and biosphere. Thus, a fundamental scientific challenge remains: obtaining optimal estimates of past and present climate and, more generally, of the full Earth system. This will help researchers to determine how and why changes are occurring and to assess the associated impacts.

Within the automated toolset, the read, adjust, filter, and analysis programs are combined to eliminate intermediate files and to simplify and automate the water level evaluation. The National Weather Service (NWS) Real Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS), the NWS Extra-Tropical Storm Surge (ETSS) Model, the United States Navy Global-Navy Coastal Ocean Model (G-NCOM), and the University of North Carolina Western North Atlantic Forecast System Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) Model water level forecasts previously compared by Richardson and Schmalz (2009) with the observations during November 2008 were reanalyzed with the automated toolset to verify the toolset. To further exercise the automated toolset, the ETSS forecast water levels were compared with observed subtidal water levels, which were obtained using a 30 hour low pass Fourier filter on a monthly basis from December 2008 through November 2009. Because the RTOFS includes tides, their forecast water levels were compared with the total observed water level on a seasonal basis for the months of February, May, August, and November 2009. The automated toolset was then expanded to include several additional skill statistics including, Willmott et al. (1985) relative error, relative RMSE, and central frequency associated with a reference level of 15 cm. Results are shown for November 2008 for all four ocean forecast systems. These additional statistics complement the NOS formal skill assessment statistics (NOS, 1999; Hess et al., 2003) used for NOS operational forecast systems (OFSs). The RTOFS and G-NCOM forecast results for salinity, temperature, and currents were compared along the open boundaries of the three next-generation Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) based NOS operational forecast systems for the Delaware River and Bay, the Chesapeake Bay, and Tampa Bay during the summer of 2010. Forecast results for salinity and temperature were compared with the World Ocean Atlas 2001 (Conkright et al., 2002) monthly climatology at 15 day interval snapshots. Forecast results for the horizontal current components were compared with the Western North Atlantic ADCIRC tidal inversion (Mukai et al., 2003; Myers, 2007) vertically integrated tidal currents and geostrophic currents derived from the World Ocean Atlas 2001 climatology at a deep ocean reference point at 15 day interval snapshots. In conclusion, plans for future water level analysis protocols are discussed. Plans for further development of the salinity, temperature, and currents evaluation are presented.

Within the ASCE Committee on Computational Hydraulics, initial efforts focused on the collection of field datasets for model evaluation in the early 1990s. Efforts were expanded to address terminology, analytical, laboratory, and field datasets as well as to establish systematic procedures for model verification and validation as documented by Wang et al. (2009). Here, we review these previous and recent efforts within the ASCE Committee on Computational Hydraulics as well as corresponding efforts within the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) modeling communities. A further discussion of the calculation verification procedure to determine numerical uncertainty for estuarine models is presented based on work by Schmalz (2007). Additional analytical test cases as posted on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) Websites are presented to further supplement the cases presented by Wang et al. (2009). In addition, skill metrics are reviewed for time series as well as for scalar and vector field evaluation. In conclusion, plans for further development of model verification and validation procedures within the National Ocean Service (NOS) are presented in the context of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) framework and the NOS model evaluation environment for the Delaware River and Bay (Patchen, 2008).

(2003), and Zhang et al. (2009) to skill assess NOS operational nowcast/forecast models for the Chesapeake Bay, New York Harbor, Galveston Bay, the St. Johns River, as well as the five Great Lakes. In the estuarine environment, tidal, hindcast, and semi-operational nowcast and forecast scenarios are separately skill assessed. Here, we review the formal skill assessment statistics and suggest the addition of a nowcast/forecast utility frequency statistic to complement the worst case outlier frequency. We next present, the application of the formal skill assessment procedure to the Delaware River and Bay forecast system, which is scheduled to become operational in 2011. The target level philosophy is discussed in the context of Taylor (2000) diagrams to further identify improvements within the operational forecast system (OFS). The development of annual forecast summary bulletins is advanced to provide on-going, operational skill assessment. With the extension of the next generation hydrodynamic models to include large portions of the shelf and with the potential coupling to regional shelf models, the implications of the shift in paradigm of workstation-sized to supercomputer massively parallel-sized models is discussed in the context of additional skill assessment requirements. In conclusion, recommendations for further development of the skill assessment procedures are presented.

Studies done by others in the late 1990s found elevated water column concentrations of both total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in creeks discharging from the Everglades, which had its own recognized mercury problem. To investigate the significance of allochthonous MeHg discharging from the upstream freshwater Everglades, we collected surface water and sediment along two transects from 2000 to 2002. Concentrations of THg and MeHg, ranging from 0.36 ng THg/L to 5.98 ng THg/L and from <0.02 ng MeHg/L to 1.79 ng MeHg/L, were elevated in the mangrove transition zone when compared both to upstream canals and the open waters of Florida Bay. Sediment concentrations ranged from 5.8 ng THg/g to 145.6 ng THg/g and from 0.05 ng MeHg/g to 5.4 ng MeHg/g, with MeHg as a percentage of THg occasionally elevated in the open bay. Methylation assays indicated that sediments from Florida Bay have the potential to methylate Hg. Assessment of mass loading suggests that canals delivering stormwater from the northern Everglades are not as large a source as direct atmospheric deposition and in situ methylation, especially within the mangrove transition zone.

Wetland vertical accretion and surface elevation change were measured at 55 riverine, marine, and impounded sites in four coastal systems: the Ebro delta, Spain; the Rhone delta, France; and the Po delta and Venice Lagoon, Italy. Vertical accretion and elevation change ranged between 0 and 25 mm year (super -1) and were strongly correlated. The highest rates of elevation gain occurred at riverine sites where vertical accretion was highest. We conclude that areas with high sediment input, mainly riverine, are the only ones likely to survive accelerated sea-level rise, especially if recent higher estimates of 1 m or more in the twenty-first century prove to be accurate. This is the first study where the importance of river input on wetland survival has been demonstrated at a decadal time scale over a broad geographical area.

Site- and reach-scale habitat improvement projects have become the default solution to many habitat deficiencies and constraints, and are often planned and implemented without proper consideration of their landscape context, process drivers, or geomorphic fitness. Failure to recognize these broader scale concerns may lead to poor project selection and increased potential for project failure. To address these issues, we developed a suite of resources (RiverRAT) to guide more efficient, consistent, and comprehensive reviews of stream management and restoration proposals, to help determine the depth of review required, assure that a project proposal is complete, and guide reviewers through a thorough and scientifically sound project review. The RiverRAT Science Document and its Appendices provide a comprehensive synthesis of the science behind stream management and restoration project development. Training is ongoing for federal and state regulatory agency staff, and project developers, throughout western states. The ultimate, long-term goals of RiverRAT include: (1) Enabling consistent, comprehensive, transparent, and documented project reviews; (2) facilitating improved project planning and design; (3) encouraging projects that are attuned to their watershed and geomorphic context; and (4) improving the science and technology of stream restoration and management.

It is found that the change of low cloud cover alone has a minor influence on the amount of net shortwave radiation reaching the surface and on the warm biases in the southeastern Atlantic. In experiments where CLWP is prescribed using observations, the mean climate in the tropics is improved significantly, implying that shortwave radiation absorption by CLWP is mainly responsible for reducing the excessive surface net shortwave radiation over the southern oceans in the CFS. Corresponding to large CLWP values in the southeastern oceans, the model generates large low cloud amounts. That results in a reduction of net shortwave radiation at the ocean surface and the warm biases in the sea surface temperature in the southeastern oceans. Meanwhile, the cold tongue and associated surface wind stress in the eastern oceans become stronger and more realistic. As a consequence of the overall improvement of the tropical mean climate, the seasonal cycle in the tropical Atlantic is also improved. Based on the results from these sensitivity experiments, we propose a model bias correction approach, in which CLWP is prescribed only in the southeastern Atlantic by using observed annual mean climatology of CLWP. It is shown that the warm biases in the southeastern Atlantic are largely eliminated, and the seasonal cycle in the tropical Atlantic Ocean is significantly improved. Prescribing CLWP in the CFS is then an effective interim technique to reduce model biases and to improve the simulation of seasonal cycle in the tropics.

The GGM used the Bouguer slab approximation to process satellite altimetry-derived marine free-air gravity anomalies and 6,548 local shipborne bathymetric sounding measurements from the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute to update the surrounding off-track bathymetry. The limitations of the Bouguer slab for modeling the gravity effects of variable density, rugged bathymetric relief at distances up to several kilometers, were mitigated by establishing 'tuning' densities that stabilized the GGM predictions. Tests using two-thirds of the shipborne bathymetric measurements to estimate the remaining third indicated that the tuning densities minimized root-mean-square deviations to about 29 m. The optimum GGM bathymetry model honoring all the ship observations correlated very well with widely available bathymetry models, despite local differences that ranged up to a few kilometers. The great analytical simplicity of GGM facilitates accurately and efficiently updating bathymetry as new gravity and bathymetric sounding data become available. Furthermore, the availability of marine free-air gravity anomaly data ensures that the GGM is more effective than simply extrapolating or interpolating ship bathymetry coverage into unmapped regions.

There is a unique gulf between historical and contemporary Chinese politeness, which is largely due to the influence of the 19th century colonization of China. While China was in fact partially colonized only, the invasion by foreign imperialist powers had a strong impact on the development of Chinese sociopragmatic norms. By demonstrating the gulf between 'historical' and 'contemporary', this paper provides an unprecedented case study for the influence of colonization on native language use. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first part, section of the paper, analyzes the ideologies, norms and practices of historical Chinese politeness, and demonstrates that historical Chinese politeness had some features that made it vulnerable to large scale socio-historical changes that led to the birth of contemporary Chinese politeness. Section, after reviewing politeness norms and ideologies in contemporary China, examine the similarities and differences between historical and contemporary practices of polite communication.

AN - 873133854; 14887-1_0034 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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.

AN - 873133400; 14887-1_0008 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

AN - 873132565; 14887-1_0003 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

AN - 873131352; 14887-1_0016 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

AN - 873130523; 14887-1_0031 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

AN - 873130287; 14887-1_0030 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

Preparation date: April 29, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN JOAQUIN RIVER RESTORATION PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16369482; 14887 AB - PURPOSE: A long-term comprehensive effort to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River and to restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river is proposed. The San Joaquin River is Californias second longest river and discharges to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In 1944, the Bureau of Reclamation completed construction of Friant Dam which 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. On September 13, 2006, terms and conditions of a settlement were reached and subsequently approved by the Eastern District Court of California. The proposed action is to implement the Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement) consistent with the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The Settlement 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 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 (RWA) 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. Areas of controversy include the potential for groundwater seepage to occur within the restoration area as a result of interim and restoration flows, uncertainty regarding the condition of levees, the likelihood of successful restoration of Chinook salmon, and the ability to release full restoration flows under the schedule anticipated in the Settlement. This draft EIS evaluates 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. Alternatives A1 and A2 would convey 475 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows in the restoration area and in the Delta using existing facilities. Alternatives B1 and B2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water using existing facilities along the San Joaquin River between the Merced River and the Delta. Actions could include modifications to existing off-river facilities, such as expansion of existing canals or construction of lift stations on existing canals. Alternatives C1 and C2 would convey 475 cfs and 4,500 cfs, respectively, and would recapture water flows with or without new pumping infrastructure located below the confluence of the Merced River. New infrastructure could include expansion of existing pumping plants, or the construction of a new plant. 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. 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 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.

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SPINY LOBSTER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTH ATLANTIC REGIONS. AN - 873128351; 14872-6_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to set annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) to prevent overfishing of Caribbean spiny lobster in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico is proposed. Current regulations in the fishery in Florida include a commercial trap reduction program, a closed season, a special recreational two-day season before the commercial season, recreational trip limits, gear prohibitions, and prohibition on the possession of egg-bearing lobsters. In federal waters off the Carolinas and Georgia, harvesting is allowed year-round but harvest for all fishermen is limited to two per person per day, and no egg-bearing females can be harvested. In addition to ACLs and AMs, Amendment 10 considers possible sector allocations for spiny lobster in state and federal waters from North Carolina through Texas. The amendment contains management alternatives for several other issues regarding the lobster fishery, including: removal of some species of lobster from the Fishery Management Unit; limiting fishing areas to protect threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals; updating framework procedures and protocol for enhanced cooperative management; modifying regulations regarding the use of shorts or undersized lobster as attractants; modifying tailing requirements for vessels that obtain a tailing permit; requirements for gear markings on trap lines to help identify any entanglements with endangered species; and provisions to allow public removal of derelict traps. Multiple action alternatives and a No Action Alternative for each of the eleven actions under consideration are addressed in this draft EIS. The preferred alternatives would: remove four incidental species (smoothtail spiny lobster, spotted spiny lobster, Spanish slipper lobster, and ridged slipper lobster) from the Fishery Management Unit; set the maximum sustainable yield proxy and the maximum fishing mortality threshold at 7.9 million pounds; establish annual catch targets as the AM for Caribbean spiny lobster; allow undersized spiny lobster not exceeding 50 per boat and one per trap aboard each boat if used exclusively for luring, decoying or otherwise attracting non-captive spiny lobsters; revise current regulations to state that all vessels must have either a federal spiny lobster permit or a Florida restricted species endorsements associated with a Florida saltwater products license to obtain a tailing permit; specify that all Caribbean spiny lobster landed must either be landed all whole or all tailed; require all spiny lobster trap lines in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off Florida to be marked along its entire length no later than August 2014; and delegate authority to regulate the removal of derelict or abandoned spiny lobster traps occurring in the EEZ off Florida to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would bring the Spiny Lobster FMP into compliance with Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requirements to keep the Caribbean spiny lobster stock at a level that will produce optimum yield. The fishery continues to operate while minimizing any impacts on threatened staghorn and elkhorn corals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Area closures could have negative effects on fishermen through reduced harvests and could also create crowding. Harvest and/or effort controls that could be mandated as part of a recovery plan would directly impact the individuals, social networks, and industries associated with the fishery, inducing short-term adverse economic impacts until the resource is rebuilt and less restrictive management is allowable. The use of biological reference points could create additional administrative and law enforcement burdens.

The event is based on a flash flood that occurred in the central Guangdong Province of south-east China during 20-21 June 2005. Compared to an hourly mixed rain-gauge and satellite-retrieved precipitation data, the model shows the capability to reproduce the intensity and location of rainfall; however, the simulation depends on three conditions to a large extent: model resolution, physical processes schemes and initial condition. In this case, the Eta Ferrier microphysics scheme and the initialization with satellite radiance DA with a fine 4-km grid spacing nested grid and coarse 12-km grid spacing outer grid are the best options. The model-predicted rain rates, however, are slightly overestimated, and the activities of the storms do not precisely correspond with those observed, although peak values are obtained. Abundant moisture brought by the south-westerly winds with a mesoscale low-level jet from the South China Sea or Bay of Bengal and trapped within the XingfengJiang region encompassed by northern Jiulian, southern Lianhua and eastern small mountains are apparently the primary elements responsible for the flood event. All simulated rainstorms were initiated over the southern slopes of the Jiulian Mountain and moved south or north-eastward within the Xingfengjiang region. Meanwhile, the Skew-T/Log-P diagrams show that there is a fairly high convective available potential energy (CAPE) over the active areas of the rainstorms. The higher CAPE provides a beneficial thermodynamic condition for the development of rainstorms, but the higher convective inhibition near the northern, eastern and southern mountains prohibits the storms from moving out of the region and causes heavy rainfall that is trapped within the area.

G. Boyce, M. R. Lewis & B. Worm 466, 591-596 (2010); Boyce et al. replyIdentifying major changes in global ecosystem properties is essential to improve our understanding of biological responses to climate forcing and exploitation. Recently, Boyce et al. reported an alarming, century-long decline in marine phytoplankton biomass of 1% per year, which would imply major changes in ocean circulation, ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycling over the period and have significant implications for management of marine fisheries. Closer examination reveals that time-dependent changes in sampling methodology combined with a consistent bias in the relationship between in situ and transparency-derived chlorophyll (Chl) measurements generate a spurious trend in the synthesis of phytoplankton estimates used by Boyce et al.. Our results indicate that much, if not all, of the century-long decline reported by Boyce et al. is attributable to this temporal sampling bias and not to a global decrease in phytoplankton biomass.

AN - 858283805; 21373702 AB - The first example of a mixed-metal amidoborane Na(2)Mg(NH(2)BH(3))(4) has been successfully synthesized. It forms an ordered arrangement in cation coordinations, i.e., Mg(2+) bonds solely to N(-) and Na(+) coordinates only with BH(3). Compared to ammonia borane and monometallic amidoboranes, Na(2)Mg(NH(2)BH(3))(4) can release 8.4 wt% pure hydrogen with significantly less toxic gases.

The experiments were performed in November 2006 and February, April and July 2007 using a flow-through filter feeding device. Total particulate matter (TPM), particulate organic matter (POM) and particulate inorganic matter (PIM) were calculated for the bay water, as well as the feces and pseudofeces of the mussels. These were used with the biodeposition method to estimate several feeding-physiological parameters, such as the clearance rate (CR), rejection rate through pseudofeces production (RP), organic ingestion rate (OIR), absorption rate (AR) and absorption efficiency (AE). The results showed that the characteristics of available suspended matter for mussels in terms of particle concentration (TPM: mg/l) and organic content (f defined as POM/TPM) ranged 1.03-2.30mg/l, and 0.48 to 0.73 respectively throughout the study period. This indicates a rather stable feeding environment of low concentrations of high organic content particles despite the wide range of temperatures recorded (from 10 to 26 degree C). However, a characteristic of such a variation pattern of particle suspension (TPM and f) was that short-term variations (in the course of days) covered the whole range of annual variation. Accordingly, physiological parameters characterizing both food acquisition and absorption in mussels were found to respond to short-term variations in food regime. Pseudofeces production in mussels was low (less than 5% in most cases) and they tended to reduce their clearance rate instead of increasing their pseudofeces production in response to rising particle concentration. The absorption efficiency was positively related to the organic content of the seston particles. There was also a positive correlation between clearance rate and absorption efficiency. The reduction of clearance, ingestion and absorption rates obtained in July highlights a negative influence of high water temperatures upon feeding and digestive processes of mussels.

A major challenge in these systems is that immigration and emigration occur during sampling, thus violating one of the most basic assumptions of mark--recapture models. We assumed that dolphins using our study site were composed of both residents (those that used the study area almost exclusively during our study), and transients (those that passed through our study area but did not remain long), and examined several mark-recapture estimators for their ability to accurately and precisely estimate the abundance of residents and the superpopulation (i.e., residents + transients). Using simulated data, we found that a novel approach accounting for transients resulted in estimators with less bias, smaller absolute relative error, and confidence interval coverage closer to nominal than other approaches, but this novel approach required intensive sampling and that the ""correct"" transient pattern be specified. In contrast, classical mark--recapture estimators for closed populations often overestimated the number of residents and underestimated the superpopulation. Using photo-identification records, a model-averaged estimate of the superpopulation of bottlenose dolphins in and around Choctawhatchee Bay, Florida was 232 (SE = 13) animals. We estimated resident abundance at 179 (SE = 8), which was lower than the number of unique animals we encountered (188). Our results appear promising for developing monitoring programs for bottlenose dolphins and other taxa in open systems. Our estimators should prove useful to wildlife managers who wish to base conservation decisions on estimates of the number of animals that reside primarily in their study or management area.

Uncertainties in soil moisture, runoff, and evapotranspiration (E) from three systems are assessed by comparing them with limited observations, including E from the AmeriFlux data, soil moisture from the Oklahoma Mesonet and the Illinois State Water Survey, and streamflow data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The CFSR has positive precipitation (P) biases over the western mountains, the Pacific Northwest, and the Ohio River valley in winter and spring. In summer, it has positive biases over the Southeast and large negative biases over the Great Plains. These errors limit the ability to use the standardized precipitation indices (SPIs) derived from the CFSR to measure the severity of meteorological droughts. To compare with the P analyses, the Heidke score for the 6-month SPI derived from the CFSR is on average about 0.5 for the three-category classification of drought, floods, and neutral months. The CFSR has positive E biases in spring because of positive biases in downward solar radiation and high potential evaporation. The negative E biases over the Great Plains in summer are due to less P and soil moisture in the root zone. The correlations of soil moisture percentile between the CFSR and the ensemble NLDAS are regionally dependent. The correlations are higher over the area east of 100 degree W and the West Coast. There is less agreement between them over the western interior region.

A polymerizable methacrylate bearing a secondary amino functional group was used to increase the solubility of the silver salt in the hydrophobic resin system. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that the silver ion reduction had no significant effect on the degree of vinyl conversion of the methacrylate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements showed an increased silver concentration at the composite surface compared to the expected concentration based on the total amount of silver salt added. Furthermore, the surface silver concentration leveled off when the silver salt mass fractions were 0.08% or greater. Composites with low concentrations of silver salt (< 0.08% by mass) exhibited comparable mechanical properties to those containing no silver. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that the silver nanoparticles formed within the polymer matrix were nanocrystalline in nature and primarily Delta #~ 3 nm in diameter, with some large particle aggregates. Composites containing silver nanoparticles were shown to reduce bacterial colonization with as little as 0.03% (by mass) silver salt, while additional amounts of silver salt did not further decrease their surface colonization.

No single definition exists; however, within the context of geomorphometry, we use surface roughness as an expression of the variability of a topographic surface at a given scale, where the scale of analysis is determined by the size of the landforms or geomorphic features of interest. Six techniques for the calculation of surface roughness were selected for an assessment of the parameter's behavior at different spatial scales and data-set resolutions. Area ratio operated independently of scale, providing consistent results across spatial resolutions. Vector dispersion produced results with increasing roughness and homogenization of terrain at coarser resolutions and larger window sizes. Standard deviation of residual topography highlighted local features and did not detect regional relief. Standard deviation of elevation correctly identified breaks of slope and was good at detecting regional relief. Standard deviation of slope (SD (sub slope) ) also correctly identified smooth sloping areas and breaks of slope, providing the best results for geomorphological analysis. Standard deviation of profile curvature identified the breaks of slope, although not as strongly as SD (sub slope) , and it is sensitive to noise and spurious data. In general, SD (sub slope) offered good performance at a variety of scales, while the simplicity of calculation is perhaps its single greatest benefit.

Therefore, managers increasingly need better economic data to help them prioritize their management strategies and distribute their increasingly limited resources to those strategies. Despite frequent pronouncements about the substantial ecological and economic impacts of invasive species, there have been few if any rigorous analyses of the economic impacts of invasive species in coastal systems. Here we present a bioeconomic analysis of the impacts of the European green crab, Carcinus maenas, on commercial shellfisheries along the West Coast of the United States. Green crabs are among the most comprehensively studied and widely distributed invasive species in coastal systems, with established populations on every continent except Antarctica. Their impacts on commercial bivalve fisheries have been alleged or substantiated to varying degrees, but no formal analysis of the economic impacts of the green crab has been conducted. We assess economic impacts using a combination of ecological and economic models. The ecological models incorporate green crab dispersal and description of estuarine habitat and the relationship between green crab abundance and predation on prey populations. The economic analysis focuses on the green crab impacts on commercial shellfisheries, including both historical and present impacts of green crabs on several important shellfisheries, including soft-shell clams, blue mussels, scallops, hard-shell clams, and Manila clams. We conclude that the past and present economic impacts on the West Coast shellfisheries are minor, although losses could increase significantly if densities increase or with northward range expansion into Alaska.

Poor conditions led to declines in growth and fecundity. Lost fecundity was partly offset by diverting energy from reproduction to growth. Diverting energy produced long-term reproductive benefits only for young females. Climate-driven changes in growth, fecundity affect results of stock assessments. Chilipepper rockfish (Sebastes goodei), a long-lived, highly fecund commercial species in the California Current ecosystem, contend with a variable environment on several time scales. Using a bioenergetics model, we simulated alternate strategies of energy allocation by female chilipeppers under variable conditions, and examined resulting patterns in age-dependent size and fecundity. Variable conditions consisted of single climate events (one anomalous year, one 4-year regime shift, or one 10-year regime shift) that occurred at different points over the lifespan of the fish and were either "poor" or "good" relative to baseline conditions. Poor years or regimes reduced growth and fecundity, while good years or regimes increased growth and fecundity. Fecundity losses during poor conditions could be mitigated by partially or fully reallocating energy from gonadal production into somatic growth, thereby increasing potential fecundity in future years. However, when mortality was incorporated, those energetic re-routing strategies only increased lifetime reproductive output if we assumed that old (age 8) females produce more viable larvae than young females, and if the event occurred prior to age 8. Young females also increased output of larvae beyond age 8 if they skipped spawning or reallocated reproductive energy during good conditions, instead investing the surplus energy into additional somatic growth and enhancing future fecundity. Our results are consistent with recent estimates of growth rate variability in the chilipepper population, and with observations of young females of other rockfish species skipping spawning during poor conditions. Models like this may help improve stock assessment parameters and biological reference points for species with environmentally driven variability in size at age.

Typically, natural mortality is estimated using indirect methods, such as correlation with measurable life history factors and rarely relies on direct data such as tagging studies. In contemporary stock assessments, natural mortality may be estimated within the model by integrating different types of data into the analysis. We evaluated the estimability of M using simulation analyses based on 12 groundfish stock assessments conducted using Stock Synthesis. The advantages of utilizing this set of peer-reviewed assessment models were that various types of data were used over a wide range of model parameterization. Our results suggest that, in many cases, M is estimable with appropriate data. Profile likelihood analyses suggested that informative length or age composition data is needed to reliably estimate M.

[Part 9 of 11] T2 - ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN, AMENDMENT 15, GULF OF MAINE, GEORGES BANK, AND MID-ATLANTIC. AN - 868223791; 14849-3_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery to prevent overfishing is proposed. The New England Fishery Management Council proposes the measures in Amendment 15 to the Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to bring the FMP in compliance with the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Act. Proposed measures would also seek to address excess capacity in the limited access fishery and make the overall scallop FMP more effective. The primary components of Amendment 15 include: implementing ACL structure and AMs for the components of the fishery; implementing an acceptable biological catch control rule; changing the essential fish habitat (EFH) closed areas to be consistent with the Northeast Multispecies FMP; making relatively minor changes to the limited access general category individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery including increasing the possession limit and allowing IFQ carryover; changing the overfishing definition to be more consistent with area rotation; and revising a host of measures under the scallop research set-aside program. A change of the fishing year to address the disconnect between available data and the start of the scallop fishing year was considered, but deemed not necessary. Although originally selected as preferred, both stacking and leasing alternatives were not chosen during final action for measures to address excess capacity in the limited access scallop fishery. A large majority of public opinion was against inclusion of these alternatives based on potential loss of jobs, potential negative impacts on future fishing opportunities for vessels that do not stack or lease, potential negative impacts on other fisheries if scallop vessels redirect effort after leasing out scallop effort, and unintended consequences of additional consolidation in the scallop fishery. Amendment 15 includes alternatives for yellowtail flounder ACLs and AMs because a major sub-component of yellowtail flounder catch is incidental catch in the scallop fishery. If, by January 15 of each year, it is determined that a yellowtail flounder ACL for the scallop fishery will be exceeded, the specified statistical areas with highest bycatch rates would be closed to scallop fishing on March 1 and remain closed for a specified length of time depending on the percentage overage. Closures would not apply to general category trips in exempted areas. In addition to numerous alternatives for implementing ACLs, addressing excess capacity, and improving program effectiveness, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative for each category of measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action is expected to have neutral to potentially positive effects on the scallop resource, EFH, protected resources, fishery businesses and communities, other fisheries, and non-target species. Changing the EFH closed areas would create more consistency between management plans and allow greater access to areas with high concentration of the scallop resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of measures to improve economic efficiency could lead to consolidation in the fishery and job loss.

AN - 868223786; 14849-3_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery to prevent overfishing is proposed. The New England Fishery Management Council proposes the measures in Amendment 15 to the Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to bring the FMP in compliance with the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Act. Proposed measures would also seek to address excess capacity in the limited access fishery and make the overall scallop FMP more effective. The primary components of Amendment 15 include: implementing ACL structure and AMs for the components of the fishery; implementing an acceptable biological catch control rule; changing the essential fish habitat (EFH) closed areas to be consistent with the Northeast Multispecies FMP; making relatively minor changes to the limited access general category individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery including increasing the possession limit and allowing IFQ carryover; changing the overfishing definition to be more consistent with area rotation; and revising a host of measures under the scallop research set-aside program. A change of the fishing year to address the disconnect between available data and the start of the scallop fishing year was considered, but deemed not necessary. Although originally selected as preferred, both stacking and leasing alternatives were not chosen during final action for measures to address excess capacity in the limited access scallop fishery. A large majority of public opinion was against inclusion of these alternatives based on potential loss of jobs, potential negative impacts on future fishing opportunities for vessels that do not stack or lease, potential negative impacts on other fisheries if scallop vessels redirect effort after leasing out scallop effort, and unintended consequences of additional consolidation in the scallop fishery.

Areas with deeper water were sampled visually from a large research vessel, while shallow water areas were covered by a sailboat towing an acoustic array. Total vaquita abundance in 2008 was estimated to be 245 animals (CV = 73%, 95% CI 68-884). The 2008 estimate was 57% lower than the 1997 estimate, an average rate of decline of 7.6%/yr. Bayesian analyses found an 89% probability of decline in total population size during the 11 yr period, and a 100% probability of decline in the central part of the range. Acoustic detections were assumed to represent porpoises with an average group size of 1.9, the same as visual sightings. Based on simultaneous visual and acoustic data in a calibration area, the probability of detecting vaquitas acoustically on the trackline was estimated to be 0.41 (CV = 108%). The Refuge Area for the Protection of the Vaquita, where gill net fishing is currently banned, contained approximately 50% of the population. While animals move in and out of the Refuge Area, on average half of the population remains exposed to bycatch in artisanal gill nets.

In 2008 the Mexican government announced a conservation action plan for this porpoise, with three options for a protected area closed to gill net fishing. The probability of success of each of the three options was estimated with a Bayesian population model, where success was defined as an increase in vaquita abundance after 10 yr. The model was fitted to data on abundance, bycatch, and fishing effort, although data were sparse and imprecise. Under the first protected area option, the existing Refuge Area for the Protection of the Vaquita, bycatch was about 7% of population size, and probability of success was 0.08. Under the second option with a larger protected area, the probability of success was 0.35. The third option was large enough to eliminate vaquita bycatch and had a probability of success >0.99. Probability of success was reduced if elimination of vaquita bycatch was delayed or incomplete. Despite considerable efforts by the Mexican government to support vaquita conservation, abundance will probably continue to decline unless additional measures to reduce vaquita bycatch are taken, such as banning gill nets within the vaquita's range and developing effective alternative fishing gear.

The assay was calibrated to the range of temperatures larvae are likely to encounter in the eastern Bering Sea, and it was sensitive to changes in condition within 3days of starvation. The S and G2 phases of the cell cycle gave an indication of larval walleye pollock condition. Healthy larvae had a larger fraction of cells in the S phase than G2 phase, and unhealthy larvae had a larger fraction of cells in the G2 phase than the S phase. Validation tests showed that the model classified 75% to 83% of the larvae correctly. The assessment of the condition of walleye pollock larvae collected from the southeastern Bering Sea in 2007 indicated that unhealthy larvae were located on the continental shelf (6%), and this may be due in part to the coldest temperatures occurring there and less abundant prey. In the continental slope/ocean basin waters, where prey levels were higher and temperatures warmest, no larvae in unhealthy condition were found.

Fifty-eight Gulf sturgeon were tagged within the Escambia (n=26), Yellow (n=8), Blackwater (n=12) and Choctawhatchee Rivers (n=12) in June, July, September and October, 2005. Fifty-four Gulf sturgeon were detected at least once during the study. Migration of sturgeon occurred throughout the bay system in fall, to various winter habitats in the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound. In spring, tagged sturgeon migrated back through the bay system to summer habitats in rivers. Based on the duration and number of detections, Gulf sturgeon primarily used the upper portions of East and Escambia Bays as migration routes in and out of all rivers during spring and summer and inhabited the lower portion of Pensacola Bay for longer durations in fall and winter. Specific areas within the Pensacola bay system were used in summer and winter that were not previously documented as essential sturgeon habitat. Areas in southeastern Pensacola Bay were heavily used during winter by a large portion of the population. Gulf sturgeon also exhibited long-term winter residency in Santa Rosa Sound for two consecutive years. An area in northeastern Escambia Bay supported Gulf sturgeon during the summer, which was unexpected and can not be explained by the data from this study. However, the discovery that Gulf sturgeon remain in the bay during the summer has important ecological and management implications that need further investigation.

Species composition, distribution, and abundance of demersal fish and benthic invertebrates were assessed with standard methods and demersal trawl gear by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Fishes made up 6% of the total catch weight, and invertebrates made up the remaining 94% of the catch weight. A total of 32 species of fish were identified, two taxa were identified to genus and one to family, and 174 taxa of invertebrates were identified. The most abundant demersal fishes were polar cod (Boreogadus saida), eelpouts (Lycodes spp.), Bering flounder (Hippoglossoides robustus), and walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma). The most abundant invertebrates were notched brittle stars (Ophiura sarsi), snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio), mussels (Musculus spp.), and the mudstar (Ctenodiscus crispatus). We documented or confirmed extension to the known ranges of four species of fishes: walleye pollock, Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), festive snailfish (Liparis marmoratus), and eyeshade sculpin (Nautichthys pribilovius). We also documented the presence of commercial-sized snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio), which has not previously been recorded in the North American Arctic.

The SANS/USANS techniques, here referred to as neutron scattering (NS), characterize porosity comprised of features ranging from approximately 3 nm to several micrometers in dimension. NS was used to investigate shale chips sampled by gas-powered drilling ("saprock") or by hand-augering ("regolith") at ridgetop. At about 20 m depth, dissolution is inferred to have depleted the bedrock of ankerite and all the chips investigated with NS are from above the ankerite dissolution zone. NS documents that 5-6% of the total ankerite-free rock volume is comprised of isolated, intraparticle pores. At 5 m depth, an abrupt increase in porosity and surface area corresponds with onset of feldspar dissolution in the saprock and is attributed mainly to peri-glacial processes from 15000 years ago. At tens of centimeters below the saprock-regolith interface, the porosity and surface area increase markedly as chlorite and illite begin to dissolve. These clay reactions contribute to the transformation of saprock to regolith. Throughout the regolith, intraparticle pores in chips connect to form larger interparticle pores and scattering changes from a mass fractal at depth to a surface fractal near the land surface. Pore geometry also changes from anisotropic at depth, perhaps related to pencil cleavage created in the rock by previous tectonic activity, to isotropic at the uppermost surface as clays weather. In the most weathered regolith, kaolinite and Fe-oxyhydroxides precipitate, blocking some connected pores. These precipitates, coupled with exposure of more quartz by clay weathering, contribute to the decreased mineral-pore interfacial area in the uppermost samples. These observations are consistent with conversion of bedrock to saprock to regolith at SSHO due to: (1) transport of reactants (e.g., water, O (sub 2) ) into primary pores and fractures created by tectonic events and peri-glacial effects; (2) mineral-water reactions and particle loss that increase porosity and the access of water into the rock. From deep to shallow, mineral-water reactions may change from largely transport-limited where porosity was set largely by ancient tectonic activity to kinetic-limited where porosity is changing due to climate-driven processes.

These fires are capable of causing significant destruction to both the built and the natural environments. When these fires occur under extreme fire danger conditions (e.g., high winds, low humidity) and in areas of significant population (e.g., San Diego, California) firefighters, and other emergency responders, are significantly challenged by the combination of firefighting and aiding the public. This paper presents the results of an in-depth case study of a community of 274 residences which was subjected to two wildland fires (within 2.5h of each other) during the October 2007 firestorm in southern California. A significant amount of effort was spent obtaining information from residents and emergency responders to determine the fire spread timeline, structure ignition mechanisms, and defensive actions. Of the 274 residences, 245 were within the fire perimeter, 74 were destroyed, and 16 were damaged. When the first fire front arrived, the rate of structure ignitions peaked at 21 per hour. Direct and indirect ember, or firebrand, attack was responsible for the ignition of 2/3 of the destroyed homes. Defensive actions were taken on one of every three homes. Of the 16 damaged homes, 15 were successfully defended. Further study of this community is ongoing to investigate what currently recommended pre-fire hazard reduction actions could be, and were, implemented and their effectiveness at reducing the likelihood of structure ignition.

AN - 859058879; 21441195 AB - Beginning in early 2006, an ocular disease of unknown etiology was routinely observed in American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) inhabiting the highly polluted Tarcoles River in west-central Costa Rica. We examined the nature and incidence of ocular disease in Tarcoles crocodiles and assessed the possible association between the disease and accumulation of chemical pollutants in diseased individuals. During 12-15 September and 12-13 December 2007, crocodiles were captured and examined for ocular disease and sampled to determine environmental contaminant accumulation. Three of 11 (27.3%) crocodiles captured (all males) exhibited unilateral ocular disease, primarily characterized by corneal opacity and scarring, anterior synechia, and phthisis bulbi. Multiple pollutants were detected in crocodile caudal scutes (organochlorine pesticides [OCPs] and metals), crocodile blood (OCPs), and sediments (OCPs and metals) from the Tarcoles, but no associations were found between contaminant accumulation and the incidence of eye disease. On the basis of the limited number of diseased animals examined and the potential exposure of crocodiles to pathogens and other pollutants not targeted in this study, we cannot rule out infection or chemical toxicosis as causes of the eye lesions. However, circumstantial evidence suggests that the observed ocular disease is likely the result of injury-induced trauma (and possibly secondary infection) inflicted during aggressive encounters (e.g., territorial combat) among large adult crocodiles living at relatively high densities.

This paper estimates life-cycle energy savings, carbon emission reduction, and cost-effectiveness of conventional energy efficiency measures in new commercial buildings using an integrated design approach. Results are based on 8208 energy simulations for 12 prototypical buildings in 228 cities, with 3 building designs evaluated for each building-location combination. Results are represented by easy-to-understand mappings that allow for regional and state comparisons. The results show that the use of conventional energy efficiency technologies in an integrated design framework can decrease energy use by 15-20% on average in new commercial buildings, and over 35% for some building types and locations. These energy reductions can often be accomplished at negative incremental life-cycle costs and reduce a building's energy-related carbon footprint by 9-33%. However, generalizing these results on energy use, life-cycle costs, and carbon emissions misses exceptions in the results that show the importance of location-specific characteristics. Also, states do not appear to base energy code adoption decisions on either potential energy savings or life-cycle cost savings.

AN - 16369341; 14849 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery to prevent overfishing is proposed. The New England Fishery Management Council proposes the measures in Amendment 15 to the Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to bring the FMP in compliance with the reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Act. Proposed measures would also seek to address excess capacity in the limited access fishery and make the overall scallop FMP more effective. The primary components of Amendment 15 include: implementing ACL structure and AMs for the components of the fishery; implementing an acceptable biological catch control rule; changing the essential fish habitat (EFH) closed areas to be consistent with the Northeast Multispecies FMP; making relatively minor changes to the limited access general category individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery including increasing the possession limit and allowing IFQ carryover; changing the overfishing definition to be more consistent with area rotation; and revising a host of measures under the scallop research set-aside program. A change of the fishing year to address the disconnect between available data and the start of the scallop fishing year was considered, but deemed not necessary. Although originally selected as preferred, both stacking and leasing alternatives were not chosen during final action for measures to address excess capacity in the limited access scallop fishery. A large majority of public opinion was against inclusion of these alternatives based on potential loss of jobs, potential negative impacts on future fishing opportunities for vessels that do not stack or lease, potential negative impacts on other fisheries if scallop vessels redirect effort after leasing out scallop effort, and unintended consequences of additional consolidation in the scallop fishery. Amendment 15 includes alternatives for yellowtail flounder ACLs and AMs because a major sub-component of yellowtail flounder catch is incidental catch in the scallop fishery. If, by January 15 of each year, it is determined that a yellowtail flounder ACL for the scallop fishery will be exceeded, the specified statistical areas with highest bycatch rates would be closed to scallop fishing on March 1 and remain closed for a specified length of time depending on the percentage overage. Closures would not apply to general category trips in exempted areas. In addition to numerous alternatives for implementing ACLs, addressing excess capacity, and improving program effectiveness, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative for each category of measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action is expected to have neutral to potentially positive effects on the scallop resource, EFH, protected resources, fishery businesses and communities, other fisheries, and non-target species. Changing the EFH closed areas would create more consistency between management plans and allow greater access to areas with high concentration of the scallop resource. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of measures to improve economic efficiency could lead to consolidation in the fishery and job loss.

Quantifying this partitioning is necessary to constrain simulations of gas and oil transport, to predict marine bioavailability of different fractions of the gas-oil mixture, and to develop a comprehensive picture of the fate of leaked hydrocarbons in the marine environment. Analysis of airborne atmospheric data shows massive amounts (258,000 kg/day) of hydrocarbons evaporating promptly from the Deepwater Horizon spill; these data collected during two research flights constrain air-water partitioning, thus bioavailability and fate, of the leaked fluid. This analysis quantifies the fraction of surfacing hydrocarbons that dissolves in the water column (33% by mass), the fraction that does not dissolve, and the fraction that evaporates promptly after surfacing (14% by mass). We do not quantify the leaked fraction lacking a surface expression; therefore, calculation of atmospheric mass fluxes provides a lower limit to the total hydrocarbon leak rate of 32,600 to 47,700 barrels of fluid per day, depending on reservoir fluid composition information. This study demonstrates a new approach for rapid-response airborne assessment of future oil spills. Key Points * Atmospheric hydrocarbon data define air-water partitioning of marine oil spills * Air-water partitioning determines oil fate and extent in the marine environment * These data permit a unique and robust calculation of oil leak rate JF - Geophysical Research Letters AU - Ryerson, T B AU - Aikin, K C AU - Angevine, WM AU - Atlas, EL AU - Blake AU - Brock, CA AU - Fehsenfeld, F C AU - Gao, R-S AU - de Gouw, JA AU - Fahey, D W AU - Holloway, J S AU - Lack, DA AU - Lueb, R A AU - Meinardi, S AU - Middlebrook, A M AU - Murphy, D M AU - Neuman, JA AU - Nowak, J B AU - Parrish, D D AU - Peischl, J AU - Perring, A E AU - Pollack, IB AU - Ravishankara, A R AU - Roberts, J M AU - Schwarz, J P AU - Spackman, J R AU - Stark, H AU - Warneke, C AU - Watts, LA AD - Chemical Sciences Division, Earth System Research Laboratory, NOAA, Boulder, Colorado, USA.

The current generation of atmosphere-ocean coupled climate models with prescribed radiative forcing changes generally do not capture these regional trend patterns. On the other hand, even uncoupled atmospheric models without the prescribed radiative forcing changes, but with the observed oceanic warming specified only in the tropics, are more successful in this regard. The tropical oceanic warming pattern is poorly represented in the coupled simulations. Our analysis points to model error rather than unpredictable climate noise as a major cause of this discrepancy with respect to the observed trends. This tropical error needs to be reduced to increase confidence in regional climate change projections around the globe, and to formulate better societal responses to projected changes in high-impact phenomena such as droughts and wet spells.

A SST anomaly is prescribed in sensitivity experiments with the atmospheric component of the IPSL model coupled to a slab ocean. The prescribed SST anomaly in the North Atlantic is the surface signature of the MOC influence on the atmosphere detected in the coupled simulation. It follows a maximum of the MOC by a few years and resembles the model Atlantic multidecadal oscillation. It is mainly characterized by a warming of the North Atlantic south of Iceland, and a cooling of the Nordic Seas. There are substantial seasonal variations in the geopotential height response to the prescribed SST anomaly, with an East Atlantic Pattern-like response in summer and a North Atlantic oscillation-like signal in winter. In summer, the response of the atmosphere is global in scale, resembling the climatic impact detected in the coupled simulation, albeit with a weaker amplitude. The zonally asymmetric or eddy part of the response is characterized by a trough over warm SST associated with changes in the stationary waves. A diagnostic analysis with daily data emphasizes the role of transient-eddy forcing in shaping and maintaining the equilibrium response. We show that in response to an intensified MOC, the North Atlantic storm tracks are enhanced and shifted northward during summer, consistent with a strengthening of the westerlies. However the anomalous response is weak, which suggests a statistically significant but rather modest influence of the extratropical SST on the atmosphere. The winter response to the MOC-induced North Atlantic warming is an intensification of the subtropical jet and a southward shift of the Atlantic storm track activity, resulting in an equatorward shift of the polar jet. Although the SST anomaly is only prescribed in the Atlantic ocean, significant impacts are found globally, indicating that the Atlantic ocean can drive a large scale atmospheric variability at decadal timescales. The atmospheric response is highly non-linear in both seasons and is consistent with the strong interaction between transient eddies and the mean flow. This study emphasizes that decadal fluctuations of the MOC can affect the storm tracks in both seasons and lead to weak but significant dynamical changes in the atmosphere.

These desert springs occur primarily aligned along the base of an anticline that bisects the Cuatrocienegas Basin, but the hydrogeologic controls of the springs are poorly understood. The hypothesis that spring locations are controlled by subsurface geology, such as buried anticlines or faulting, versus stratigraphic controls is tested by evaluating: (1) regional structural styles; (2) fracture models of analogous structures; (3) hydrogeologic data; and (4) geophysical surveys. Jurassic and Cretaceous siliciclastic and carbonate rocks deposited on the Coahuila Block west of the Cuatrocienegas Basin have dips <10 degrees and lack faults because of a structurally rigid granodiorite basement. To the east of the Coahuila Block and around the Cuatrocienegas Basin, the Coahuila folded belt has anticlines associated with basement-involved faults, 10-25 degrees backlimb dips, and forelimb dips up to vertical or slightly overturned. Springs in the western sub-basin that represent 85% of total basin discharge are located on zones of highest anticipated fracture density predicted by fracture models of analogous anticlines. Spring waters reveal elevated temperature (32-35 degrees C) and low tritium (<1 tritium unit). Gravimetry and time-domain electromagnetic surveys correspond with a best-fit Cuatrocienegas Basin hydrogeologic model of fractures associated with reverse faulting controlling spring locations in the western Cuatrocienegas Basin. Springs in the eastern sub-basin are located where ephemeral streams have eroded through confining beds along the base of alluvial fans and lack faulting. Regional variations in structural style are an important control on the location of springs in the Cuatrocienegas Basin.

The distributed elements of the basins are pieced together using drainage networks. An efficient representation of drainage networks in computer code is necessary. Graph theory has long been applied in many engineering areas to solve network problems. In this paper we demonstrate that adjacent list graph is the most efficient way of presenting the drainage network in terms of development and execution. The authors have implemented drainage networks using the adjacency-list structure in both the research and operational versions of the US National Weather Service (NWS) distributed model. A parallel routing algorithm based on Dijsktra's shortest path algorithm was also developed using the MPI library, which was tested on a cluster using the Oklahoma Illinois River basin dataset. Theoretical analysis and test results show that inter-processor communication and unbalanced workload among the processors limit the scalability of the parallel algorithm. The parallel algorithm is more applicable to computers with high inter-processor bandwidth, and to basins where the number of grid cells is large and the maximum distance of the grid cells to the outlet is short.

[Part 16 of 22] T2 - TRIDENT SUPPORT FACILITIES EXPLOSIVES HANDLING WHARF (EHW-2), NAVAL BASE KITSAP BANGOR, SILVERDALE, KITSAP COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 873127065; 14836-0_0016 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, located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle, 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 existing EHW alone will not be able to support TRIDENT program requirements. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of two components: the wharf proper (or operations area), including the warping wharf; and access trestle(s). The wharf proper would be either pile-supported or floating. Two types of pile-supported wharf are being considered: a conventional pile-supported wharf and a large-pile wharf. The access trestles would be pile-supported and would be either completely separate or combined for part of their spans. The trestles under either option would come ashore at the same location and tie into existing roads. All piles would be hollow steel pipe piles. Five action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are evaluated in this draft EIS. The action alternatives consist of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). 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 preferred alternative is the Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1). The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over approximately 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 TRIDENT program requirements for the eight submarines currently homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Construction duration would be shorter for Alternatives 1 and 3 than for Alternatives 2 and 4, resulting in less seafloor disturbance, less noise, and less of an impact to water quality, air quality, and transportation. Implementation of the proposed action would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of 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 result in disturbance of 6.6 vegetated acres and loss of 0.18 acre of wetland. Construction would generate pile driving noise, turbidity, and air pollutant emissions. 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 (including tribal treaty-reserved resources), 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 setting of the existing EHW, which is National Register of Historic Places-eligible, would be adversely affected by construction.

AN - 873126911; 14836-0_0018 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, located on the Hood Canal approximately 20 miles west of Seattle, 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 existing EHW alone will not be able to support TRIDENT program requirements. The EHW-2 would be adjacent to but separate from the existing EHW and would consist of two components: the wharf proper (or operations area), including the warping wharf; and access trestle(s). The wharf proper would be either pile-supported or floating. Two types of pile-supported wharf are being considered: a conventional pile-supported wharf and a large-pile wharf. The access trestles would be pile-supported and would be either completely separate or combined for part of their spans. The trestles under either option would come ashore at the same location and tie into existing roads. All piles would be hollow steel pipe piles. Five action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are evaluated in this draft EIS. The action alternatives consist of combinations of two access trestle layouts (separate and combined) and three wharf configurations (conventional pile-supported, large pile, and floating). 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 preferred alternative is the Combined Trestle, Large Pile Wharf Alternative (Alternative 1). The marine and terrestrial construction would occur over approximately 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 TRIDENT program requirements for the eight submarines currently homeported at NBK Bangor and for the TRIDENT II strategic weapons system. Construction duration would be shorter for Alternatives 1 and 3 than for Alternatives 2 and 4, resulting in less seafloor disturbance, less noise, and less of an impact to water quality, air quality, and transportation. Implementation of the proposed action would provide a substantial economic benefit to the local and regional economy through the creation of 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 result in disturbance of 6.6 vegetated acres and loss of 0.18 acre of wetland. Construction would generate pile driving noise, turbidity, and air pollutant emissions. 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 (including tribal treaty-reserved resources), 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 setting of the existing EHW, which is National Register of Historic Places-eligible, would be adversely affected by construction.

It is well known that, in general, raw precipitation ensemble forecasts from the numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are not very reliable and that, for short-range prediction, human forecasters add significant skill to the NWP-generated single-valued quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF). In this paper, we describe and evaluate a statistical procedure for producing precipitation ensemble forecasts from single-valued QPFs. The procedure is based on the bivariate probability distribution between the observed precipitation and the single-valued QPF. The distribution is modeled as a mixed-type in which the relationship between the positive observed precipitation and positive forecast precipitation is assumed to be bivariate meta-Gaussian. We also describe and comparatively evaluate a generalized meta-Gaussian model in which the model parameter is optimized by minimizing the mean Continuous Ranked Probability Score. The performance of these procedures is assessed through dependent and cross validation using data for selected river basins in the service areas of the Arkansas-Red Basin, California-Nevada and Middle-Atlantic River Forecast Centers of the National Weather Service. The validation results show that, overall, the precipitation ensembles generated by the proposed procedures are reliable and capture the skill in the conditioning single-valued forecasts very well.
