TI An investigation of rotational influences on tropical-cyclone size and intensity SO QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE hurricane; typhoon; boundary layer; ambient rotation rate ID HURRICANE BOUNDARY-LAYER; SEA INTERACTION THEORY; POTENTIAL INTENSITY; MAXIMUM INTENSITY; MODEL; DYNAMICS; VORTEX; CYCLOGENESIS; SIMULATION; VORTICES AB We investigate the rotational constraint on the intensity and size of a tropical cyclones using a minimal, three-layer, axisymmetric tropical-cyclone model. In the first of two sets of experiments, the same initial baroclinic vortex is spun up in a quiescent environment with different levels of background rotation, characterized by the Coriolis parameter, f. It is found that the strongest vortices, as characterized by their final intensity, develop in environments with intermediate background rotation. It is found also that there exists a similar optimum background rotation strength to obtain the largest storm as measured by the radius of gale-force winds. These results appear to be in line with those of classical laboratory experiments by Turner and Lilly, an analogy that we explore in the present article. While the analogy is found to have certain limitations, including the fact that spin-up of the maximum tangential winds in the inner-core in the model takes place in the boundary layer, the study raises aspects of tropical-cyclone dynamics that we believe to be of fundamental importance and require further investigation. As an aid to understanding the foregoing results, a second set of calculations is carried out with the vortex forced by a prescribed radial profile of diabatic heating rate typical of that in the first set and with other moist processes excluded. For this distribution of heating rate, there is no optimum background rotation rate for intensity within a realistic range of values for f, implying that the relationship between the forcing strength and rotation strength is an important additional constraint in tropical cyclones. However, in these experiments, there is an optimum latitude for size, comparable with that in the first set of experiments. An interpretation is offered for these findings.

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(-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(-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.

Only a single postrelease mortality could be unequivocally documented: a male blue shark which succumbed seven days after release. Meta-analysis of published reports and the current study (n=78 reporting PSATs) indicated that the summary effect of postrelease mortality for blue sharks was 15% (95% CI, 8.5-25.1%) and suggested that catch-and-release in longline fisheries can be a viable management tool to protect parental biomass in shark populations. Pelagic sharks displayed species-specific depth and temperature ranges, although with significant individual temporal and spatial variability in vertical movement patterns, which were also punctuated by stochastic events (e.g., El Nino-Southern Oscillation). Pelagic species can be separated into three broad groups based on daytime temperature preferences by using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averaging clustering on a Kolmogorov-Smirnov Dmax distance matrix: 1) epipelagic species (silky and oceanic whitetip sharks), which spent >95% of their time at temperatures within 2 degrees C of sea surface temperature; 2) mesopelagic-I species (blue sharks and shortfin makos, which spent 95% of their time at temperatures from 9.7 degrees to 26.9 degrees C and from 9.4 degrees to 25.0 degrees C, respectively; and 3) mesopelagic-II species (bigeye threshers), which spent 95% of their time at temperatures from 6.7 degrees to 21.2 degrees C. Distinct thermal niche partitioning based on body size and latitude was also evident within epipelagic species.

TI Genetic variation between outer-coastal and fjord populations of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) in the eastern Gulf of Alaska SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID MICROSATELLITE LOCI; MARINE FISH; DIFFERENTIATION; HARENGUS; SOFTWARE AB Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) from the Gulf of Alaska were screened for temporal and spatial genetic variation with 15 microsatellite loci. Thirteen collections were examined in this study: 11 from Southeast Alaska and 2 from Prince William Sound, Alaska. Although F(ST) values were low, a neighbor-joining tree based on genetic distance, homogeneity, and F(ST) values revealed that collectively, the Berners Bay and Lynn Canal (interior) collections were genetically distinct from Sitka Sound and Prince of Wales Island (outer-coastal) collections. Temporal genetic variation within regions (among three years of Berners Bay spawners and between the two Sitka Sound spawners) was zero, whereas 0.05% was attributable to genetic variation between Berners Bay and Sitka Sound. This divergence may be attributable to environmental differences between interior archipelago waters and outer-coast habitats, such as differences in temperature and salinity. Early spring collections of nonspawning Lynn Canal herring were nearly genetically identical to collections of spawning herring in Berners Bay two months later-an indication that Berners Bay spawners over-winter in Lynn Canal. Southeast Alaskan herring (collectively) were significantly different from those in Prince William Sound. This study illustrates that adequate sample size is needed to detect variation in pelagic fish species with a large effective population size, and microsatellite markers may be useful in detecting low-level genetic divergence in Pacific herring in the Gulf of Alaska.

An investigation of morphometric characteristics of otoliths of Pacific sardine across most of their range revealed regional differences in populations. In a survey of over 2000 otoliths, all ages (with an emphasis on age-1 recruits) were compared. Principal components analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and a novel method derived from regression and residuals calculations, termed perimeter-weight profiles (PWPs), revealed otolith similarities and differences. The results of the different approaches to statistical comparisons did not always agree. Sardine otoliths from Mexican waters were generally lighter and more lobate than those from U.S. and Canadian populations. Age-1 otoliths from northern California in 2006-07 tended to be heavier and smoother than those from other areas, including year-class cohorts from southern California. Comparisons of age-groups and year-classes of northern California otoliths with the use of the PWP models indicated significant trends in year-to-year patterns. In conjunction with other established indices of population structure, otolith PWPs are a useful tool for identifying local and regional stocks of Pacific sardine and may help distinguish populations of other fish species as well.

TI Population structure, long-term connectivity, and effective size of mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) in the Caribbean Sea and Florida Keys SO FISHERY BULLETIN LA English DT Article ID GULF-OF-MEXICO; SPAWNING AGGREGATIONS; MARINE POPULATIONS; STATISTICAL TESTS; REEF FISH; MICROSATELLITE LOCI; GENETIC-EVIDENCE; DNA; CAMPECHANUS; COALESCENT AB Genetic structure and average long-term connectivity and effective size of mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) sampled from offshore localities in the U.S. Caribbean and the Florida Keys were assessed by using nuclear-encoded microsatellites and a fragment of mitochondrial DNA. No significant differences in allele, genotype (microsatellites), or haplotype (mtDNA) distributions were detected; tests of selective neutrality (mtDNA) were nonsignificant after Bonferroni correction. Heuristic estimates of average long-term rate of migration (proportion of migrant individuals/generation) between geographically adjacent localities varied from 0.0033 to 0.0054, indicating that local subpopulations could respond independently of environmental perturbations. Estimates of average long-term effective population sizes varied from 341 to 1066 and differed significantly among several of the localities. These results indicate that over time larval drift and interregional adult movement may not be sufficient to maintain population sustainability across the region and that there may be different demographic stocks at some of the localities studied. The estimate of long-term effective population size at the locality offshore of St. Croix was below the minimum threshold size considered necessary to maintain the equilibrium between the loss of adaptive genetic variance from genetic drift and its replacement by mutation. Genetic variability in mutton snapper likely is maintained at the intraregional level by aggregate spawning and random mating of local populations. This feature is perhaps ironic in that aggregate spawning also renders mutton snapper especially vulnerable to overexploitation.

Despite decades of fishing on this species, important life history parameters, such as age and growth, have not been well known. Some validated age and growth information exists for sandbar shark, but more comprehensive life history information is needed. The complementary application of bomb radiocarbon and tag-recapture dating was used in this study to determine valid age-estimation criteria and longevity estimates for this species. These two methods indicated that current age interpretations based on counts of growth bands in vertebrae are accurate to 10 or 12 years. Beyond these years, we could not determine with certainty when such an underestimation of age begins; however, bomb radiocarbon and tag-recapture data indicated that large adult sharks were considerably older than the estimates derived from counts of growth bands. Three adult sandbar sharks were 20 to 26 years old based on bomb radiocarbon results and were a 5- to 11-year increase over the previous age estimates for these sharks. In support of these findings, the tag-recapture data provided results that were consistent with bomb radiocarbon dating and further supported a longevity that exceeds 30 years for this species.

Relative emission data are obtained for the H-alpha line, the H-2 (a3 Sigma -> b3 Pi) near-UV continuum, and the H-2 (G(1)Sigma -> B-1 Pi(+)(u)) band at pressures of 0.5 and 2 Torr, a 1.05 cm gap, and voltages from 300 to 900 V. Electron behavior is traced using the first negative (A2 Sigma(g) -> X2 Pi(u), nu ' = 0 -> nu' = 0) band of N-2(+) by adding 2% N-2. Relative measurements of H-alpha, H-2 near-UV, and N-2 1st negative emission are placed on a absolute scale by normalization to published measurements and Boltzmann calculations of electron excitation. Emission probabilities calculated using a multi-beam kinetics model for the electrons, H+, H-2(+), H-3(+), H-, H, and H-2 are compared with the calibrated experiments. Fast H atoms are calculated to produce H-alpha excitation that is comparable with that of electrons. The calculated emission intensities for H-alpha and H-2 near-UV continuum are within a factor of three of the absolute measurements for a range of 5000:1 in current and 4:1 in hydrogen pressure. Calculations at 2 Torr show that most of the space charge electric field responsible for the cathode fall is produced by H-3(+) ions. [doi: 10.1063/1.3644492] C1 [Jelenkovic, B. M.; Phelps, A.

The review, based largely on journal articles, covers field and laboratory measurement activities (concentrations of contaminants, field surveys, toxicity testing and biomarkers). Reviewed papers focus further on pollution issues of current interest including endocrine disrupters, wastewater discharges, dredging and disposal, etc. Special emphasis is placed on oil spills due to the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico and ongoing cleanup. Several topical areas reviewed in the past were dropped this year due to circumstances beyond our control. Further, the focus is limited to effects, not on pollutant fate and transport. There is considerable overlap across subject areas (e. g. some bioaccumulation papers may be cited in other topical categories). As always, readers should only use this as a guide and must consult the original papers before citing them, including double-checking units.

Further development has continued with additional support from the National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Hydrologic Development, the NWS Office of Climate, Water, and Weather Services, and the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan. The objectives of NMQ research and development (R&D) are 1) to develop a hydrometeorological platform for assimilating different observational networks toward creating high spatial and temporal resolution multisensor QPEs for flood warnings and water resource management and 2) to develop a seamless high-resolution national 3D grid of radar reflectivity for severe weather detection, data assimilation, numerical weather prediction model verification, and aviation product development.. Through about ten years of R&D, a real-time NMQ system has been implemented (http://nmq.ou.edu). Since June 2006, the system has been generating high-resolution 3D reflectivity mosaic grids (31 vertical levels) and a suite of severe weather and QPE products in real-time for the conterminous United States at a 1-km horizontal resolution and 2.5 minute update cycle. The experimental products are provided in real-time to end users ranging from government agencies, universities, research institutes, and the private sector and have been utilized in various meteorological, aviation, and hydrological applications. Further, a number of operational QPE products generated from different sensors (radar, gauge, satellite) and by human experts are ingested in the NMQ system and the experimental products are evaluated against the operational products as well as independent gauge observations in real time. The NMQ is a fully automated system. It facilitates systematic evaluations and advances of hydrometeorological sciences and technologies in a real-time environment and serves as a test bed for rapid science-to-operation infusions. This paper describes scientific components of the NMQ system and presents initial evaluation results and future development Plans of the system.

In contrast, research focused on potential uses in electronic devices is in its infancy. Several sensing concepts in which the tailorable chemistry of MOFs is used to enhance sensitivity or provide chemical specificity have been demonstrated, but in only a few cases are MOFs an integral part of an actual device. The synthesis of a few electrically conducting MOFs and their known structural flexibility suggest that MOF-based electronic devices exploiting these properties could be constructed. It is clear, however, that new fabrication methods are required to take advantage of the unique properties of MOFs and extend their use to the realms of electronic circuitry. In this Concepts article, we describe the basic functional elements needed to fabricate electronic devices and summarize the current state of relevant MOF research, and then review recent work in which MOFs serve as active components in electronic devices. Finally, we propose a high-level roadmap for device-related MOF research, the objective of which is to stimulate thinking within the MOF community concerning the development these materials for applications including sensing, photonics, and microelectronics.

TI Detection of Iron-Oxide Magnetic Nanoparticles Using Magnetic Tunnel Junction Sensors With Conetic Alloy SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Conference on International Magnetics (INTERMAG) CY APR 25-29, 2011 CL Taipei, TAIWAN SP IEEE Magnet Soc Educ Comm DE Iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles; magnetic sensors; magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) ID FIELD; BIOSENSORS; MEDICINE AB We demonstrated the detection of 20-nm iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) using Al2O3 magnetic tunnel junction sensors (MTJs) with Conetic alloy. Conetic alloy Ni77Fe14Cu5Mo4 was deposited as the MTJ free layer and pinned layer due to its magnetically soft properties. The magnetoresistance (MR) curves of MTJs with Conetic alloy showed tunneling magnetoresistance of 8.0% with small hysteresis and high linearity in the sensing region, after applying an external magnetic field of 14 Oe along the hard axis. The sensitivity of the MTJ sensors with Conetic alloy was determined to be 0.3%/Oe within a linear region at room temperature. The MNPs of three different concentrations were successfully detected by the shifts of the MR loops of the MTJs, and it was observed that the resistance deviations of the MTJ sensors increased with the logarithm of MNP concentrations. The maximum resistance deviation was 0.16 Omega for an MNP concentration of 20.0 mg/mL. MTJ sensors, together with MNPs, are a promising platform for future biosensor applications, and this paper shows that Conetic alloy is feasible for improving the performance of this platform.

The Ganges-Brahmaputra river discharge is characterized by a well-defined seasonal cycle with strong interannual variations. The highest/lowest yearly peak discharge occurs in summer 1998/summer 1992, with 1998 value amounting to twice that of 1992. This river discharge is then used to force an ocean general circulation model. Our main result is that the impact of these rivers on the variability of Bay of Bengal sea surface salinity is strong in the northern part, with excess run-off forcing fresh anomalies, and vice versa. Most of the years, the influence of the interannual variability of river discharge on the Bay salinity does not extend south of similar to 10 degrees N. This stands in contrast with the available observations and is probably linked to the relatively coarse resolution of our model. However, the extreme discharge anomaly of 1998 is exported through the southern boundary of the Bay and penetrates the south-eastern Arabian Sea a few months after the discharge peak. In response to the discharge anomalies, the model simulates significant mixed-layer temperature anomalies in the northern Bay of Bengal. This has the potential to influence the climate of the area. From our conclusions, it appears necessary to use a numerical model with higher resolution (both on the horizontal and vertical) to quantitatively investigate the upper Bay of Bengal salinity structure.

Hierarchical Bayesian methods are especially applicable to small-area, small-sample-size estimation problems because they allow poor-data species to borrow strength from species with good-quality data. We used a hammerhead shark complex as an example to investigate the advantages of using hierarchical Bayesian models in assessing the status of poor-data and data-poor exploited species. The hammerhead shark complex (Sphyrna spp.) along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the United States is composed of three species: the scalloped hammerhead (S. lewini), the great hammerhead (S. mokarran), and the smooth hammerhead (S. zygaena) sharks. The scalloped hammerhead comprises 70-80% of the catch and has catch and relative abundance data of good quality, whereas great and smooth hammerheads have relative abundance indices that are both limited and of low quality presumably because of low stock density and limited sampling. Four hierarchical Bayesian state-space surplus production models were developed to simulate variability in population growth rates, carrying capacity, and catchability of the species. The results from the hierarchical Bayesian models were considerably more robust than those of the nonhierarchical models. The hierarchical Bayesian approach represents an intermediate strategy between traditional models that assume different population parameters for each species and those that assume all species share identical parameters. Use of the hierarchical Bayesian approach is suggested for future hammerhead shark stock assessments and for modeling fish complexes with species-specific data, because the poor-data species can borrow strength from the species with good data, making the estimation more stable and robust.

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. These modeling techniques can be incorporated into an operational forecasting system.

TI MercNet: a national monitoring network to assess responses to changing mercury emissions in the United States SO ECOTOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Mercury; MercNet; Ecological effects; Mercury regulation; Monitoring ID NORTHEASTERN NORTH-AMERICA; METHYLMERCURY EXPOSURE; COMMON LOONS; CONTAMINATION; ECOSYSTEMS; HEALTH; FISH AB A partnership of federal and state agencies, tribes, industry, and scientists from academic research and environmental organizations is establishing a national, policy-relevant mercury monitoring network, called MercNet, to address key questions concerning changes in anthropogenic mercury emissions and deposition, associated linkages to ecosystem effects, and recovery from mercury contamination. This network would quantify mercury in the atmosphere, land, water, and biota in terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal ecosystems to provide a national scientific capability for evaluating the benefits and effectiveness of emission controls. Program development began with two workshops, convened to establish network goals, to select key indicators for monitoring, to propose a geographic network of monitoring sites, and to design a monitoring plan. MercNet relies strongly on multi-institutional partnerships to secure the capabilities and comprehensive data that are needed to develop, calibrate, and refine predictive mercury models and to guide effective management. Ongoing collaborative efforts include the: (1) development of regional multi-media databases on mercury in the Laurentian Great Lakes, northeastern United States, and eastern Canada; (2) syntheses and reporting of these data for the scientific and policy communities; and (3) evaluation of potential monitoring sites. The MercNet approach could be applied to the development of other monitoring programs, such as emerging efforts to monitor and assess global mercury emission controls.

TI Model for Predicting Effects of Land-Use Changes on the Canal-Mediated Discharge of Total Suspended Solids into Tidal Creeks and Estuaries SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LA English DT Article DE Land use; Hydrologic models; Water pollution; Water resources; Suspended solids; GIS ID NUTRIENTS; LANDSCAPE; SEDIMENTS; QUALITY; METALS AB The Land Use Input Canal Output Model (LUICOM) was created for the purpose of predicting canal-mediated, total suspended solids (TSS) loading in receiving estuaries. Tidal flushing (related to the tidal prism) within a subject estuary (i.e., Yellow Bluff Creek) was also evaluated. Estimates of flushing times were based on those estimated for Georgia and South Carolina creeks that have better coverage of hypsometric data. Two rain events were sampled for this effort, and TSS concentrations predicted by LUICOM compared favorably with observed values. With subsidence of each rain event, TSS concentrations gradually decreased to baseline concentration in the receiving estuary. Moreover, LUICOM provided a reasonable estimate of the time of peak TSS. The results of this study suggest that TSS measured in the subject canal and creek increase as the result of significant rain events (> 1.0 in. in 3 h). The correlation between model-derived and measured TSS values suggest LUICOM could be used to evaluate changes in a basin's land use as it relates to predicting subsequent increases in TSS discharges. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal tool for resource managers concerned with changes in land use within coastal areas. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)EE.1943-7870.0000396.

TI Extending the notion of quality from physical metrology to information and sustainability SO JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING LA English DT Article DE Quality; Metrology; Sustain ability; Information quality ID INDEXES; INDICATORS; SYSTEMS AB In this paper we intend to demonstrate the need for extending the notion of quality from the physical domain to information and, more comprehensively, to sustainability. 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.

This theory is applied in this paper to the description of oceanic rings and jets, in the framework of a 1.5-layer quasigeostrophic model. The theory predicts the spontaneous formation of regions where the potential vorticity is homogenized, with strong and localized jets at their interface. Mesoscale rings are shown to be close to a statistical equilibrium: the theory accounts for their shape, drift, and ubiquity in the ocean, independently of the underlying generation mechanism. At basin scale, inertial states presenting midbasin eastward jets (and then different from the classical Fofonoff solution) are described as marginally unstable states. In that case, considering a purely inertial limit is a first step toward more comprehensive out-of-equilibrium studies that would take into account other essential aspects, such as wind forcing.

TI Deep Signatures of Southern Tropical Indian Ocean Annual Rossby Waves SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID WATER AB The southern tropical Indian Ocean contains a striking forced annual Rossby wave studied previously using satellite altimeter sea surface height data, surface wind fields, expendable bathythermograph ocean temperature data, and models. Here, the deep reach of this wave and its velocity are analyzed using density-depth profiles and 1000-dbar horizontal drift data from Argo. Significant annual cycles in isopycnal vertical displacements and zonal velocity persist to the deepest pressures to which Argo data can be mapped reliably in the region, 1600-1900 dbar. Phase propagation of the annual cycle of the directly measured zonal velocities at 1000 dbar suggests a zonal wavelength of about 6000 km-about the length of the deep basin in which the wave is found-and a westward phase speed of similar to 0.2 m s(-1). Apparent upward phase propagation in isopycnal vertical displacements suggests energy propagation downward into the abyss. This pattern is clearer when accounting for both the potential and kinetic energy of the wave. The largest zonal current associated with this wave has a middepth maximum that decays rapidly up through the pycnocline and less rapidly with increasing depth, suggesting a first-vertical-mode structure. The anomalous zonal volume transport of this annually reversing current is similar to 27 x 10(6) m(3) s(-1) across 80 degrees E in mid-November. The peak zonal velocity of 0.06 m s(-1) implies a maximum zonal excursion of about 600 km associated with the wave over an annual cycle. C1 NOAA, Pacific Marine Environm Lab, Seattle, WA 98115 USA.

TI The Response of Quasigeostrophic Oceanic Vortices to Tropical Cyclone Forcing SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID AXIALLY-SYMMETRIC HURRICANE; 2-LAYER BAROCLINIC OCEAN; NEAR-INERTIAL ENERGY; MIXED-LAYER RESPONSE; NON-LINEAR RESPONSE; GULF-OF-MEXICO; MOMENTUM TRANSFER; BOUNDARY-LAYER; MODEL; PROPAGATION AB The response of quasigeostrophic (QG) oceanic vortices to tropical cyclone (TC) forcing is investigated using an isopycnic ocean model. Idealized oceanic currents and wind fields derived from observational data acquired during Hurricane Katrina are used to initialize this model. It is found that the upwelling response is a function of the curl of wind-driven acceleration of oceanic mixed layer (OML) currents rather than a function of the wind stress curl. Upwelling (downwelling) regimes prevail under the TC's eye as it translates over cyclonic (anticyclonic) QG vortices. OML cooling of similar to 1 degrees C occurs over anticyclones because of the combined effects of downwelling, instantaneous turbulent entrainment over the deep warm water column (weak stratification), and vertical dispersion of near-inertial energy. By contrast, OML cooling of similar to 4 degrees C occurs over cyclones due to the combined effects of upwelling, instantaneous turbulent entrainment over regions of tight vertical thermal gradients (strong stratification), and trapping of near-inertial energy that enhances vertical shear and mixing at the OML base. The rotational rate of the QG vortex affects the dispersion of near-inertial waves. As rotation is increased in both cyclones and anticyclones, the near-inertial response is shifted toward more energetic frequencies that enhance vertical shear and mixing. TC-induced temperature anomalies in QG vortices propagate westward with time, deforming the cold wake. Therefore, to accurately simulate the impact of TC-induced OML cooling and feedback mechanisms on storm intensity, coupled ocean atmosphere TC models must resolve geostrophic ocean eddy location as well as thermal, density, and velocity structures.

TI Phased Array Weather/Multipurpose Radar SO IEEE AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS MAGAZINE LA English DT Article DE Radio frequency; Radar imaging; Receivers; Atmospheric measurements; Phased arrays; Radar tracking ID SPACED-ANTENNA INTERFEROMETRY AB The first phased array radar dedicated to weather observation and analysis is now instrumented with eight simultaneous digital receivers. The addition of these additional channels will enable the use of advanced signal processing to improve signal/clutter in an adaptive mode. Elimination of strong point and ground clutter returns from the low-level, volumetrically-dlstributed weather cell returns is a new application of adaptive processing. The NSF funded 8-channel receiver has been added to the National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) system in Norman, Oklahoma, to enable operation as a multi-function and/or adaptive processing system. Herein, we describe the system concept, system installation and early results from fielded weather data returns.

Shi, Lei TI Climatological Diurnal Cycles in Clear-Sky Brightness Temperatures from the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC HUMIDITY; WATER-VAPOR; MOISTURE; NOAA-16; BIASES AB A climatology of the diurnal cycles of HIRS clear-sky brightness temperatures was developed based on measurements over the period 2002-07. This was done by fitting a Fourier series to monthly gridded brightness temperatures of HIRS channels 1-12. The results show a strong land sea contrast with stronger diurnal cycles over land, and extending from the surface up to HIRS channel 6 or 5, with regional maxima over the subtropics. Over seas, the diurnal cycles are generally small and therefore challenging to detect. A Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis showed that more robust results are reached by aggregating the data zonally before applying the fit. The zonal fits indicate that small diurnal cycles do exist over sea. The results imply that for a long-lived satellite such as NOAA-14, drift in the overpass time can cause a diurnal sampling bias of more than 5 K for channel 8 (surface and lower troposphere).

TI Assessments of Chinese Fengyun Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) Measurements for Weather and Climate Applications SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MSU; ASSIMILATION; CONSTRUCTION; CALIBRATION AB After the successful launches of the first two polar-orbiting satellites in a new Fengyun-3 (FY-3) series, FY-3A/B, into a morning- and afternoon-configured orbit in May 2008 and November 2010, respectively, China will launch its next three polar-orbiting satellites before 2020. The Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) on the FY-3A/B satellites has four channels that have the same channel frequency as channels 3, 5, 7, and 9 of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A). Thus, the quality of the brightness temperature measurements from the FY-3A MWTS can be assessed using the AMSU-A brightness temperature observations from the NOAA-18 satellite. Overall, MWTS data compare favorably with AMSU-A data in terms of its global bias to NWP simulations. The standard deviations of global MWTS brightness temperatures are slightly larger than those of AMSU-A data. The scan-angle dependence of the brightness temperature bias is found to be symmetric for MWTS channel 3 as well as AMSU-A channel 7, and asymmetric for MWTS channels 2 and 4 and AMSU-A channels 5 and 9; there is a warm (cold) bias located at the beginning (end) of a scan line for all asymmetric channels except for MWTS channel 4. A major difference between the two instruments is that the MWTS biases in channels 3 and 4 are negative in low latitudes and positive in high latitudes, while the AMSU-A biases are negative in all latitudes. A detailed analysis of the data reveals that such a difference is closely related to the difference in the temperature dependence of biases between the two instruments. The AMSU-A biases are independent of the scene temperature, but MWTS biases vary with the earth scene brightness temperature. The root cause of the bias could be a combination of several factors, including solar contamination on its calibration target, detector nonlinearity, and the center frequency drift. This study further demonstrates the utility of a well-calibrated radiometer like AMSU-A for the assessment of a new instrument with NWP fields that are used as inputs to forward radiative transfer simulations.

Currently, MICROS monitors M 0 biases in three Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) bands centered at 3.7, 11, and 12 mu m for five satellites, NOAA-16, -17, -18, -19 and Meteorological Operational (MetOp)-A. The fast Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) is employed to simulate clear-sky BTs, using Reynolds SST and National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System profiles as input. Simulated BTs are used in ACSPO for improving cloud screening, physical SST inversions, and monitoring and validating satellite BTs. The key MICROS objectives are to fully understand and reconcile CRTM and AVHRR BTs, and to minimize cross-platform biases through improvements to ACSPO algorithms, CRTM and its inputs, satellite radiances, and skin-bulk and diurnal SST modeling. Initially, MICROS was intended for internal use within the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) SST team for testing and improving ACSPO products. However, it has quickly outgrown this initial objective and is now used by several research and applications groups. In particular, inclusion of double differences in MICROS has contributed to sensor-to-sensor monitoring within the Global Space-Based Intercalibration System, which is customarily performed using the well-established simultaneous nadir overpass technique. Also, CRTM scientists have made a number of critical improvements to CRTM using MICROS results. They now routinely use MICROS to continuously monitor M 0 biases and validate and improve CRTM performance. MICROS is also instrumental in evaluating the accuracy of the first-guess SST and upper-air fields used as input to CRTM. This paper gives examples of these applications and discusses ongoing work and future plans. C1 [Liang, Xingming] NOAA, NESDIS, STAR, Ctr Satellite Applicat & Res, Camp Springs, MD 20746 USA.

TI Comparison between the TOPAZ Airborne Ozone Lidar and In Situ Measurements during TexAQS 2006 SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID POWER-PLANT PLUMES; 1995 SOUTHERN OXIDANTS; TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; BOUNDARY-LAYER; SYSTEM; PHOTOMULTIPLIERS; PROFILES; HOUSTON AB The NOAA airborne ozone lidar system [Tunable Optical Profiler for Aerosol and Ozone (TOPAZ)] is compared with the fast-response chemiluminescence sensor flown aboard the NOAA WP-3D during the 2006 Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS). TOPAZ measurements made from the NOAA Twin Otter, flying at an altitude of similar to 3300 m MSL in the Houston, Texas, area on 31 August, and the Dallas, Texas, area on 13 September, show that the overall uncertainty in the 10-s (similar to 600-m horizontal resolution) TOPAZ profiles is dominated by statistical uncertainties (1 sigma) of similar to 8 ppbv (6%-10%) at ranges of similar to 2300 m from the aircraft (similar to 1000 m MSL), and similar to 11-27 ppbv (12%-30%) at ranges of similar to 2800 m (similar to 500 m MSL). These uncertainties are substantially reduced by spatial averaging, and the averages of 11 profiles (of 110 s or 6.6-km horizontal resolution) at similar to 1000 m MSL are in excellent agreement (+/- 2%) with the in situ measurements at similar to 500 m MSL. The TOPAZ measurements at lower altitudes on 31 August exhibit a negative bias of up to similar to 15%, however, when the lidar signals were strongly attenuated by very high ozone levels in the plume from the Houston Ship Channel. This bias appears to result from nonlinear behavior in the TOPAZ signal amplifiers, which is described in the companion paper by Alvarez et al. An empirical correction is presented. C1 [Langford, A.

TI Development and Application of a Compact, Tunable, Solid-State Airborne Ozone Lidar System for Boundary Layer Profiling SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ABSORPTION CROSS-SECTIONS; DIFFERENTIAL-ABSORPTION; TROPOSPHERIC OZONE; DIAL MEASUREMENTS; TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE; NM REGION; AEROSOL; PHOTOMULTIPLIERS; O-3; SO2 AB The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory/Chemical Sciences Division (NOAA/ESRL/CSD) has developed a versatile, airborne lidar system for measuring ozone and aerosols in the boundary layer and lower free troposphere. The Tunable Optical Profiler for Aerosol and Ozone (TOPAZ) lidar was deployed aboard a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft during the Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS 2006) and the California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex 2010) field campaigns. TOPAZ is capable of measuring ozone concentrations in the lower troposphere with uncertainties of several parts per billion by volume at 90-m vertical and 600-m horizontal resolution from an aircraft flying at 60 m s(-1). The system also provides uncalibrated aerosol backscatter profiles at 18-m vertical and 600-m horizontal resolution. TOPAZ incorporates state-of-the-art technologies, including a cerium-doped lithium calcium aluminum fluoride (Ce:LiCAF) laser, to make it compact and lightweight with low power consumption. The tunable, three-wavelength UV laser source makes it possible to optimize the wavelengths for differing atmospheric conditions, reduce the interference from other atmospheric constituents, and implement advanced analysis techniques. This paper describes the TOPAZ lidar, its components and performance during testing and field operation, and the data analysis procedure, including a discussion of error sources. The performance characteristics are illustrated through a comparison between TOPAZ and an ozonesonde launched during the TexAQS 2006 field campaign. A more comprehensive set of comparisons with in situ measurements during TexAQS 2006 and an assessment of the TOPAZ accuracy and precision are presented in a companion paper. C1 [Alvarez, R.

Measured median differential reflectivities Z(DR) of Bragg scatterers lie between -0.08 and 0.06 dB, which supports the hypothesis that the intrinsic Z(DR) of Bragg scatters is 0 dB. Thus, the intrinsic 0 dB of Bragg scatter can be used for verifying of Z(DR) radar calibration. Measured copolar correlation coefficients rho(hv) have distributions peaked at about 0.998-1.0. If insects and birds are spatially separated from Bragg scatterers, the dual-polarization capability of the WSR-88D allows distinguishing echoes from these two types of scatterers since Z(DR) from biota is significantly larger than 0 dB. In mixtures of Bragg and biota scatter, polarimetric spectral analysis shows differences in portions of the H and V spectra where birds and insects could be contaminating echoes from Bragg scatterers. The values of Z(DR) approximate to 0 and rho(hv) approximate to 1 that characterize Bragg scatterers allow coherent summation of signals from the H and V receiver channels and restoration of measurement capability lost as a result of splitting power into H and V channels. Further enhancements to data collection and signal processing allow power measurement, with a standard deviation of about 1 dB, of weak echoes from Bragg scatterers having equivalent reflectivity factors of about -28 dBZ at distance of 10 km from the radar. This level of reflectivity corresponds to a refractive index structure parameter C-n(2) of about 4 X 10(-15) m(-2/3), a typical magnitude found in maritime air.

The primary problem is typically that any changes to the size distribution on dramatically affect the potential nanotoxicity or other size-determined properties, such as the absorbance signal in a biosensor measurement Herein we demonstrate analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) as a powerful method for measuring two critical characteristics of nanoparticle (NP) agglomerates In situ in biological media: the NP agglomerate size distribution, and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorbance spectrum of precise sizes of gold NP agglomerates. To characterize the size distribution, we present a theoretical framework for calculating the hydrodynamic diameter distribution of NP agglomerates from their sedimentation coefficient distribution. We measure sedimentation rates for monomers, rimers, and trimers, as well as for larger agglomerates with up to 600 NPs. The AUC size distributions were found generally to be broader than the size distributions estimated from dynamic light scattering and diffusion-limited colloidal aggregation theory, an alternative bulk measurement method that relies on seven! assumptions. In addition, the measured sedimentation coefficients can be used in nanotoxicity studies to predict how quickly the agglomerates sediment out of solution under normal gravitational forces, such as In the environment We also calculate the absorbance spectra for monomer, dimer, timer, and larger gold NP agglomerates up to 600 NPs, to enable a better understanding of LSPR biosensors. Finally, we validate a new method that uses these spectra to deconvolute the net absorbance spectrum of an unknown bulk sample and approximate the proportions of monomers, dimers, and trimers In a polydisperse sample of small agglomerates, so that every sample does not need to be measured by AUC. These results demonstrate the potential utility of AUC to characterize NP agglomeration and sedimentation for nanotoxicity and biosensor studies, as well as to characterize NP agglomerate size and absorbance to improve LSPR and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based biosensors.

TI Molecular Order in High-Efficiency Polymer/Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells SO ACS NANO LA English DT Article DE organic photovoltaics; bulk heterojunction; crystallinity; orientation; polymers ID LOW-BANDGAP POLYMER; THIN-FILMS; SEMICONDUCTING POLYMERS; CHARGE-TRANSPORT; CARRIER MOBILITY; PERFORMANCE; MORPHOLOGY; BLENDS; COPOLYMER; DEVICES AB We report quantitative measurements of ordering, molecular orientation, and nanoscale morphology in the active layer of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaic cells based on a thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-alt-benzodithiophene copolymer (PTB7), which has been shown to yield very high power conversion efficiency when blended with [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM). A surprisingly low degree of order was found in the polymer-far lower in the bulk heterojunction than in pure PTB7. X-ray diffraction data yielded a nearly full orientation distribution for the polymer pi-stacking direction within well-ordered regions, revealing a moderate preference for pi-stacking in the vertical direction ("face-on"). By combining molecular orientation Information from polarizing absorption spectroscopies with the orientation distribution of ordered material from diffraction, we propose a model describing the PTB7 molecular orientation distribution (ordered and disordered), with the fraction of ordered polymer as a model parameter. This model shows that only a small fraction (approximate to 20%) of the polymer in the PTB7/PC71BM blend is ordered. Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy shows that the morphology of PTB7/PC71BM is composed of nanoscale fullerene-rich aggregates separated by polymer-rich regions. The addition of dliodooctane (DIO) to the casting solvent, as a processing additive, results in smaller domains and a more finely interpenetrating BHJ morphology, relative to blend films cast without DIO.

Yet the use of length-defined SWCNTs is limited, in part due to the lack of an easily accessible materials preparation method. Here, we present a new strategy for SWCNT length fractionation based on molecular crowding induced cluster formation. We show that the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a crowding agent into DNA-wrapped SWCNT dispersion leads to the formation of reversible, nematic, and rodlike microdusters, which can be collected by gentle centrifugation. Since shorter SWCNTs form dusters at higher polyethylene glycol concentration, gradual Increase in PEG concentration results in length fractionated SWCNTs. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we show that fractions with average lengths of 60-500 nm and standard deviations of 30-40% can be obtained. The concept of molecular-crowding-based fractionation should be applicable to other nanoparticle dispersions.

TI A Climatology of Nocturnal Warming Events Associated with Cold-Frontal Passages in Oklahoma SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MESONET; MICRONET AB A sudden increase in temperature during the nighttime hours accompanies the passages of some cold fronts. In some cold front associated warming events, the temperature can rise by as much as 10 C and can last from a few minutes to several hours. Previous studies suggest that these events are due to the downward transport of warmer air by the strong and gusty winds associated with the cold-frontal passages. In this study, a climatology of nocturnal warming events associated with cold fronts was created using 6 yr of Oklahoma Mesonetwork (Mesonet) data from 2003 to 2008. Nocturnal warming events associated with cold-frontal passages occurred surprisingly frequently across Oklahoma. Of the cold fronts observed in this study, 91.5% produced at least one warming event at an Oklahoma Mesonet station. The winter months accounted for the most events (37.9%), and the summer months accounted for the fewest (3.8%). When normalized by the monthly number of cold-frontal passages, the winter months still had the most number of warming events. The number of warming events increased rapidly from 2300 to 0200 UTC; thereafter, the number of events gradually decreased. A spatial analysis revealed that the frequency of warming events decreased markedly from west to east across the state. In contrast, the average magnitude of the warming increased from west to east. In contrast to control periods (associated with cold-frontal passages without nocturnal warming events), warming events were associated with weaker initial winds and stronger initial temperature inversions. Moreover, the nocturnal temperature inversion weakened more during warming events than during control periods and the surface wind speeds increased more during warming events than during control periods. These results are consistent with previous studies that suggest the warming events are due to the "mixing out" of the nocturnal temperature inversion.

TI The Accuracy of Radar Estimates of Ice Terminal Fall Speed from Vertically Pointing Doppler Radar Measurements SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL SQUALL LINE; WIND PROFILER; MICROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES; PRECIPITATING CLOUD; PART I; VELOCITIES; CLIMATE; SCHEME; ATMOSPHERE; SYSTEMS AB Doppler radar measurements at different frequencies (50 and 2835 MHz) are used to characterize the terminal fall speed of hydrometeors and the vertical air motion in tropical ice clouds and to evaluate statistical methods for retrieving these two parameters using a single vertically pointing cloud radar. For the observed vertical air motions, it is found that the mean vertical air velocity in ice clouds is small on average, as is assumed in terminal fall speed retrieval methods. The mean vertical air motions are slightly negative (downdraft) between the melting layer (5-km height) and 6.3-km height, and positive (updraft) above this altitude, with two peaks of 6 and 7 cm s(-1) at 7.7- and 9.7-km height. For the retrieved hydrometeor terminal fall speeds, it is found that the variability of terminal fall speeds within narrow reflectivity ranges is typically within the acceptable uncertainties for using terminal fall speeds in ice cloud microphysical retrievals. This study also evaluates the performance of previously published statistical methods of separating terminal fall speed and vertical air velocity from vertically pointing Doppler radar measurements using the 50-/2835-MHz radar retrievals as a reference. It is found that the variability of the terminal fall speed-radar reflectivity relationship (V(t)-Z(e)) is large in ice clouds and cannot be parameterized accurately with a single relationship. A well-defined linear relationship is found between the two coefficients of a power-law V(t)-Z(e) relationship, but a more accurate microphysical retrieval is obtained using Doppler velocity measurements to better constrain the V(t)-Z(e), relationship for each cloud. When comparing the different statistical methods to the reference, the distribution of terminal fall speed residual is wide, with most residuals being in the +/- 30-40 cm s(-1) range about the mean. The typical mean residual ranged from 15 to 20 cm s(-1), with different methods having mean residuals of <10 cm s(-1) at some heights, but not at the same heights for all methods. The so-called V(t)-Z(e) technique was the most accurate above 9-km height, and the running-mean technique outperformed the other techniques below 9-km height. Sensitivity tests of the running-mean technique indicate that the 20-min average is the best trade-off for the type of ice clouds considered in this analysis. A new technique is proposed that incorporates simple averages of Doppler velocity for each (Z(e), H) couple in a given cloud. This technique, referred to as DOP-Z(e)-H, was found to outperform the three other methods at most heights, with a mean terminal fall residual of <10 cm s(-1) at all heights. This error magnitude is compatible with the use of such retrieved terminal fall speeds for the retrieval of microphysical properties.

The analyses are computed on a polar grid using a variational data-fitting method that allows for the application of variable data weights to input data. The combination of gross quality control and the weighted variational analysis also produces wind estimates that have generally smaller errors than do the raw input data. The resulting surface winds compare well to the NOAA Hurricane Research Division H*Wind aircraft reconnaissance based surface wind analyses, and operationally important wind radii estimated from these wind fields are shown to be generally more accurate than those based on climatological data. Most important, the analysis system produces global tropical cyclone surface wind analyses and related products every 6 h-without aircraft reconnaissance data. Also, the analysis and products are available in time for consideration by forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, and the National Hurricane Center in preparing their forecasts and advisories. This Multiplatform Tropical Cyclone Surface Wind Analysis (MTCSWA) product is slated to become an operationally supported product at the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). The input data, analysis method, products, and verification statistics associated with the MTCSWA are discussed within.

Energy resolution in the 100 keV region can be up to an order of magnitude better than planar high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. The technology is well-suited to analysis of materials with complex spectra presenting closely spaced photopeaks. One application area is the measurement and assay of nuclear materials for safeguards and fuel cycle applications. In this paper, we discuss the operation and performance of a 256-pixel array, and present results of a head-to-head comparison of isotopic determination measurements with high-purity germanium using a plutonium standard. We show that the uncertainty of a single measurement is smaller for the microcalorimeter data compared to the HPGe data when photopeak areas are equal. We identify several key areas where analysis codes can be optimized that will likely lead to improvement in the microcalorimeter performance. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Whereas at room temperature we observe essentially no effects on the response, at cryogenic temperature we observe significant distortion when the magnetic field is in the plane of the APD surface (and thus perpendicular to the electric field in the APD). At all temperatures, effects are minor when the magnetic field is normal to the APD surface (and thus parallel to the electric field in the APD). We performed measurements of the response of an APD to illumination by X-rays in fields between 0 and 4.6T, for temperatures between 77 and 250 K. Measurements were performed using Am-241 and Fe-55 sources, and 1.5 keV X-rays produced by aluminum fluorescence. The data indicate that the effects are associated with those X-rays that are absorbed in the drift region of the APD. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. C1 [Gentile, T. R.; Bass, C.

A modification of Eldridge-Crowther formulas, derived originally for I-125, was made recently for the case of two coincidence gamma-rays in Co-60 decay (P. Volkovitsky and P. Naudus (2009) [10]) and for the Ag-108(m) decay with three coincidence gamma-rays (P. Volkovitsky (2010) [14]). A similar approach is applied to a more complicated decay scheme with two decay modes with coincidence gamma rays in the Bi-207 decay. The large number of experimental quantities, measured both in coincidence and anti-coincidence modes, allows determination of both detector efficiencies for gamma rays together with the source activity.

TI Measuring the Gy:preventing convection in water calorimetry using a low duty cycle modulated beam SO NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT LA English DT Article DE System transfer function; Frequency response; Radiation dosimetry; Heat transfer correction; Conduction and convection AB The most fundamental method for determining the absorbed dose to water by radiation beams is by measuring the consequent temperature increase of the water. Water calorimeters used for this purpose are not irradiated uniformly; thus spatial dose gradients within the calorimeter give rise to significant heat transport effects that interfere with the measurement of the small temperature rise associated with radiotherapy doses (e.g. 240 mu K/Gy at a typical dose rate of 1 Gy/min). When subjected to periodic exposure to radiation, the calorimeter response (registered as temperature at a point in the water) reaches steady-state oscillation in which effects due to heat conduction and convection may be studied as a function of modulation frequency, so that appropriate correction factors can be derived for desired operating conditions. Theoretical treatment of the behavior is greatly simplified if experimental conditions can be arranged so that convection is negligible. While this is usually done by refrigerating the calorimeter to 4 degrees C, where the thermal expansion coefficient of water is zero (thus, buoyancy forces due to density fluctuations effectively vanish), we present evidence suggesting that such conditions can be achieved at room temperature by reducing the duty cycle, or effective "on" time of the radiation at a given shutter frequency. Results are presented here in the form of system transfer functions obtained under conditions of 50 and 3.5% duty cycle. Comparison of these measured transfer functions with the output of a three dimensional finite element model indicates that convection is greatly suppressed in the lower duty cycle case. Experimental uncertainty in these measurements is too large to conclude that convection is eliminated altogether, but more extended runs using this technique should enable a more definitive judgment as to whether the simpler conduction corrections alone can be applied.

TI Development and validation of a reference measurement procedure for certification of phenytoin, phenobarbital, lamotrigine, and topiramate in human serum using isotope-dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry SO ANALYTICAL AND BIOANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Antiepileptic drugs; Reference measurement procedure; Electrospray ionization; Isotope dilution; Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry; Solid-phase extraction ID SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION; ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS; HUMAN PLASMA; METABOLITES; ZONISAMIDE; EPILEPSY; ASSAY AB Phenytoin (PHT), phenobarbital (PHB), lamotrigine (LTG), and topiramate (TPM) are some of the most widely used antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Monitoring of their concentrations in serum is important for the treatment of epilepsy. A reference measurement procedure (RMP) for certification of PHT, PHB, LTG, and TPM in serum has been developed and critically evaluated. Isotopically labeled compounds of PHT, PHB, LTG, and TPM are used as internal standards for the four AEDs. The four drugs and their respective labeled internal standards are simultaneously extracted from serum using solid-phase extraction prior to reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was performed using a C(18) column. Electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive ion mode for PHT and LTG, and in the negative ion mode for PHB and TPM were used. The recovery of AEDs added to serum (accuracy of the extraction method) was evaluated by recovery studies of measuring the four drugs in spiked samples with known drug levels. The recoveries of the added drugs ranged from 98.6% to 102.0%. The absolute recoveries (extraction efficiencies) of the four drugs with this method ranged from 97% to 100%. Excellent repeatability was obtained for the four drugs with between-set coefficients of variation (CVs) within 1%. The type B components estimates are conservatively large and are considerably larger than the type A component. Therefore, we use the usual metrological expansion factor of 2 to provide an approximate 95% coverage interval. The relative expanded uncertainties for the four AEDs ranged from 2.3% to 2.4%. This LC-MS/MS RMP for PHT, PHB, LTG, and TPM in serum demonstrating good accuracy and precision can be used to assess the accuracy of routine methods used in clinical laboratories.

TI Measuring silver nanoparticle dissolution in complex biological and environmental matrices using UV-visible absorbance SO ANALYTICAL AND BIOANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article DE Silver colloid; Dissolution; Silver ion; ICP-MS; Localized surface plasmon resonance absorbance ID TOXICITY; NANOSILVER; IONS; RELEASE; PARTICLE 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 mu g/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.

The model atmosphere contains an absorbing ozone layer plus two clear, molecular air layers with Rayleigh scattering surrounding a cloud layer and an atmospheric boundary layer with aerosol particles subject to Lorentz-Mie scattering. Halos are produced by right hexagonal or pyramidal crystals that reflect and refract according to geometric optics without diffraction, although "junk" crystals with a pronounced forward-scattering peak but no halo peaks may be included to simulate typical, faint halos. Model parameters include ozone height and content, surface and cloud pressure, cloud optical thickness, crystal shapes, orientations and abundances, atmospheric turbidity, aerosol radius, and albedo. Beams for each wavelength are sorted into small bins as halo beams if they have been scattered once only by a single crystal and otherwise as sky beams, which are smoothed and combined with the halo beams to produce images. Multiple scattering generally vitiates halos, but extremely rare halos, such as Kern's arc, can be produced if a significant fraction of crystals in optically thick clouds have identical shapes and are highly oriented. Albedo is a model by-product with potential value in climate studies.

Rays are created in the laboratory with parallel light beams that pass through artificial fogs and milk-water solutions. Light scattered by 90 in a dilute mixture of whole milk first increases in intensity with distance from the source to a maximum as a result of multiple scattering by mainly small angles before decreasing exponentially due to extinction as distance continues to increase. Crepuscular rays are simulated for three cloud configurations. In case 1, the Sun at the zenith is blocked by a cloud with an overhanging anvil. The rays appear white against blue sky and are brightest when atmospheric turbidity, beta approximate to 11. Shading by the anvil separates maximum brightness from apparent cloud edge. In case 2, a ray passes through a rectangular gap in a cloud layer. The ray is faint blue in a molecular atmosphere but turns pale yellow as beta and solar zenith angle, phi(sun), increase. At phi(sun) = 60 degrees it appears most striking when the cloud is optically thick, beta approximate to 5, and the beam width Delta x approximate to 1000 m. In these cases, increasing aerosol radius, r(aer), to about 1000nm brightens, narrows, and shortens rays. In case 3, the twilight Sun is shaded by a towering cloud or mountain. The shaded rays are deeper blue than the sunlit sky because the light originates higher in the atmosphere, where short waves have suffered less depletion from scattering. The long optical path taken by sunlight at twilight makes color and lighting contrasts of the rays greatest when the air is quite clean, i.e., for beta - 1 << 1. In all cases, the brightest rays occur when sunlight passes through an optical thickness of atmosphere, tau approximate to O(1).

TI INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY IN GROWTH RATES OF EARLY JUVENILE SABLEFISH AND THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID EARLY-LIFE-HISTORY; ANOPLOPOMA-FIMBRIA; CLIMATE VARIABILITY; FISH; PACIFIC; OREGON; LARVAL; OCEAN; SIZE; FOOD AB Otolith increments were examined to estimate growth rates of late larvae and early juvenile sablefish from an 8-yr time series (1993-2001), with fish collected from late March to mid-May at the same location off Oregon. The time series spanned a broad range of oceanographic conditions and included an extreme El Nino year (1997-1998) followed by an extreme La Nina (1999). Estimated growth rates overall were rapid for the small size of fish examined and the water temperatures they experienced, averaging 0.4 mm d(-1) to 1.0 mm d(-1) at fish sizes of 10-40 mm. Growth rates were strongly related to fish size and water temperature. After adjusting for these effects using regression residuals, interannual differences in growth corresponded to large-scale oceanographic indices of productivity and transport in the California Current ecosystem. Growth during the early neustonic stage was correlated with subsequent recruitment to the adult stock except in 1997, when conditions in late winter and early spring apparently were favorable for sablefish growth but survival of the year class was poor, potentially a consequence of reduced productivity as El Nino conditions developed in the summer. Within a year, there was minimal support for the occurrence of growth-dependent mortality, at least within the time frame of our collections. Overall, the results confirm the unusual capacity for rapid growth in small sablefish and are consistent with the general pattern of large-scale environmental controls on larval and early juvenile survival hypothesized for fishes resident in the California Current.

TI A COMPARISON OF THE FORAGING ECOLOGY AND BIOENERGETICS OF THE EARLY LIFE-STAGES OF TWO SYMPATRIC HAMMERHEAD SHARKS SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID SPHYRNA-LEWINI; KANEOHE BAY; DAILY RATION; DIET; FISHES; HAWAII; RATES; OAHU; ENRICHMENT; MECHANICS AB Juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks, Sphyrna lewini (Griffith and Smith, 1834), were collected in northwest Florida to examine foraging ecology, bioenergetics, and trophic level [30-60 cm fork length (FL); mean FL = 41.5 cm; n = 196]. Diet analysis was performed using single and compound measures of prey quantity, as well as seven broad diet categories. Diet composition and estimated daily ration were compared to previously published information on bonnethead sharks, Sphyrna tiburo (Linnaeus, 1758). Diet overlap was low between species. Juvenile S. lewini feed on relatively small (85% of prey items < 5% shark length) teleosts (mostly bothids and sciaenids) and shrimps, whereas juvenile S. tiburo has been documented to feed mostly on crustaceans and plant material. Plant material contributed little to the diet of S. lewini. Estimated daily ration was significantly lower for S. lewini than for S. tiburo, regardless of whether plant material was included in the model. Trophic level was calculated at 4.0 for S. lewini and 2.6 for S. tiburo. Stable isotope analysis showed S. lewini had significantly higher delta(15)N values and significantly lower delta(13)C values than S. tiburo, consistent with the difference observed in calculated trophic level. These results provide evidence that juvenile hammerhead species coexist in coastal northwest Florida by feeding at separate trophic levels.

TI IMPACTS OF FLORIDA COASTAL PROTECTED AREAS ON RECREATIONAL WORLD RECORDS FOR SPOTTED SEATROUT, RED DRUM, BLACK DRUM, AND COMMON SNOOK SO BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID EAST-CENTRAL FLORIDA; INDIAN-RIVER LAGOON; NO-TAKE RESERVES; MARINE RESERVES; FISHERIES MANAGEMENT; SCIAENOPS-OCELLATUS; LONG-TERM; ARTISANAL FISHERIES; FISH COMMUNITY; EXPLOITED FISH AB The present study examines the influence of coastal marine protected areas (MPAs) and statewide fishing regulations on recreational trophy fisheries for four important estuarine game fishes in Florida, where similar to 59% of the mainland coast consists of MPAs. The distribution of International Game Fish Association (IGFA) recreational world records achieved over 70 years (1939-2009) were correlated with the strength and duration of fishery restrictions in MPAs. No difference in record density was detected between coastal areas inside and outside of MPAs where fishing was managed by statewide regulations. However, 74% (n = 143) of all records for three species were concentrated near the two MPAs that had additional fishery restrictions. The highest concentration was along similar to 11% of the mainland coast at Cape Canaveral (CAN) near MPAs closed to all fishing since 1962. It included 42% of spotted seatrout [Cynoscion nebulosus (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1830)1, 55% of red drum [Sciaenops ocellatus (Linnaeus, 1766)], and 69% of black drum [Pogonias cromis (Linnaeus, 1766)] Florida records. Everglades National Park (ENP) had the second highest concentration with 7% of spotted seatrout, 32% of red drum, and 24% of black drum records caught along similar to 9% of the mainland coast. ENP partially limited fishing starting in 1980 by establishing a closed area, daily bag limits, and eliminating commercial fishing. Common snook [Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792)] records did not increase significantly at CAN or ENP. Recreational fishery statistics corroborated IGFA record patterns. Total recreational catch and catch per trip (CPUE) increased significantly for spotted seatrout, red drum, and black drum in northeast and southwest Florida, the two regions with the most protective MPAs, and either declined or were unchanged in the northeast and southeast, which did not have MPAs with fishing restrictions. Both datasets supported predictions of marine reserve theory that MPAs can benefit fisheries by increasing the abundance and size of exploited species. Data did not support other alternative hypotheses proposed to explain record patterns. In conclusion, evidence indicates that Florida coastal estuarine MPAs with fishery restrictions allowed recreational anglers to increase their total catch and CPUE, and achieve more game fish world records than would have occurred if all coastal areas had been regulated by existing statewide fishing regulations.

Thus, the thermally related surface rainfall budgets derived from the combination of cloud and heat budgets are analysed with two-dimensional equilibrium cloud-resolving model simulation data to study the effects of sea surface temperature (SST) and cloud radiative, and microphysical processes on the diurnal variations of convective and stratiform rainfall. The results show that the increase in SST, the inclusion of diurnal variation of SST and the exclusion of cloud radiative processes increase negative diurnal anomalies of heat divergence over rainfall-free regions during the nighttime through changing the vertical structures of diurnal anomaly of radiation in the troposphere. The strengthened negative diurnal anomalies of heat divergence over rainfall-free regions enhance positive diurnal anomalies of heat divergence over convective regions, which intensifies the positive diurnal anomaly of convective rainfall. The exclusion of microphysical effects of ice clouds increases the negative diurnal anomaly of heat divergence over rainfall-free regions during the nighttime through reducing latent heat; this appears to enhance the positive diurnal anomaly of heat divergence over raining stratiform regions, and thus stratiform rainfall.

The compound crystallizes into a hexagonal Ce2Ni7-type structure and consists of alternately stacking MgZn2-type NdCo2 and CaCu5-type NdCo5 structural blocks along the c axis. A magnetic structure model with the moments of all atoms aligning along the c axis provides a satisfactory fitting to the neutron diffraction data and coincides with the easy magnetization direction revealed by the X-ray diffraction experiments on magnetically pre-aligned fine particles. The refinement results show that the derived atomic moments of the Co atoms vary in a range of 0.7 mu(B)-1.1 mu(B) and the atomic moment of Nd in the NdCo5 slab is close to the theoretical moment of a free trivalent Nd3+ ion, whereas the atomic moment of Nd in the NdCo2 slab is much smaller than the theoretical value for a free Nd3+ ion. The remarkable difference in the atomic moment of Nd atoms between different structural slabs at room temperature is explained in terms of the magnetic characteristics of the NdCo2 and NdCo5 compounds and the local chemical environments of the Nd atoms in different structural slabs of the Nd2Co7 compound.

Sediments from Oregon and Washington streams were sampled to determine if current-use pyrethroid insecticides from residential neighborhoods were reaching aquatic habitats, and if they were at concentrations acutely toxic to sensitive invertebrates. Approximately one-third of the 35 sediment samples contained measurable pyrethroids. Bifenthrin was the pyrethroid of greatest concern with regards to aquatic life toxicity, consistent with prior studies elsewhere. Toxicity to Hyalella azteca and/or Chironomus dilums was found in two sediment samples at standard testing temperature (23 degrees C), and in one additional sample at a more environmentally realistic temperature (13 degrees C). Given the temperature dependency of pyrethroid toxicity, low temperatures typical of northwest streams can increase the potential for toxicity above that indicated by standard testing protocols.

TI Estimating Contemporary Effective Population Size on the Basis of Linkage Disequilibrium in the Face of Migration SO GENETICS LA English DT Article ID TEMPORALLY SPACED SAMPLES; MULTILOCUS GENOTYPES; GENETIC-MARKERS; N-E; PROGRAM; TIME; LIKELIHOOD; INFERENCE; RATES; DRIFT AB Effective population size (N-e) is an important genetic parameter because of its relationship to loss of genetic variation, increases in inbreeding, accumulation of mutations, and effectiveness of selection. Like most other genetic approaches that estimate contemporary N-e, the method based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) assumes a closed population and (in the most common applications) randomly recombining loci. We used analytical and numerical methods to evaluate the absolute and relative consequences of two potential violations of the closed-population assumption: (1) mixture LD caused by occurrence of more than one gene pool, which would downwardly bias (N) over cap (e), and (2) reductions in drift LD (and hence upward bias in (N) over cap (e)) caused by an increase in the number of parents responsible for local samples. The LD method is surprisingly robust to equilibrium migration. Effects of mixture LD are small for all values of migration rate (m), and effects of additional parents are also small unless m is high in genetic terms. LD estimates of N-e therefore accurately reflect local (subpopulation) N-e unless m > similar to 5-10%. With higher m, (N) over cap (e) converges on the global (metapopulation) N-e. Two general exceptions were observed. First, equilibrium migration that is rare and hence episodic can occasionally lead to substantial mixture LD, especially when sample size is small. Second, nonequilibrium, pulse migration of strongly divergent individuals can also create strong mixture LD and depress estimates of local N-e. In both cases, assignment tests, Bayesian clustering, and other methods often will allow identification of recent immigrants that strongly influence results. In simulations involving equilibrium migration, the standard LD method performed better than a method designed to jointly estimate N-e and m. The above results assume loci are not physically linked; for tightly linked loci, the LD signal from past migration events can persist for many generations, with consequences for N-e estimates that remain to be evaluated.

Mazocraeoides gonialosae, which parasitises the dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus) along the coast of China. Fragments of 756 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene were sequenced for 147 individuals from seven localities along the coast of China. Phylogenetic analysis revealed no significant genealogical clades of samples corresponding to sampling localities. Analyses of molecular variance and pairwise F-ST suggested a high rate of gene flow and the lack of a predictable genetic structure between different populations of this parasite. Both neutrality tests and mismatch distribution analyses indicated a recent population expansion in M. gonialosae after the last glacial maximum. Gradually decreasing genetic diversity in more northerly populations implied a historical south-to-north expansion of this parasite. Dispersal of eggs and larvae with ocean currents was considered to be associated with the genetic homogeneity of this species. The limited time to accumulate genetic variation after the last glacial maximum may also account in part for the lack of phylogeographical structure in the studied region.

TI The Second Phase of the Global Land-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment: Soil Moisture Contributions to Subseasonal Forecast Skill SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID SURFACE AIR-TEMPERATURE; PART I; MINIMUM TEMPERATURES; AFRICAN MONSOONS; MONTHLY RAINFALL; CLIMATE MODELS; DATA SET; PRECIPITATION; SIMULATION; IMPACT AB The second phase of the Global Land Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE-2) is a multi-institutional numerical modeling experiment focused on quantifying, for boreal summer, the subseasonal (out to two months) forecast skill for precipitation and air temperature that can be derived from the realistic initialization of land surface states, notably soil moisture. An overview of the experiment and model behavior at the global scale is described here, along with a determination and characterization of multimodel "consensus" skill. The models show modest but significant skill in predicting air temperatures, especially where the rain gauge network is dense. Given that precipitation is the chief driver of soil moisture, and thereby assuming that rain gauge density is a reasonable proxy for the adequacy of the observational network contributing to soil moisture initialization, this result indeed highlights the potential contribution of enhanced observations to prediction. Land-derived precipitation forecast skill is much weaker than that for air temperature. The skill for predicting air temperature, and to some extent precipitation, increases with the magnitude of the initial soil moisture anomaly. GLACE-2 results are examined further to provide insight into the asymmetric impacts of wet and dry soil moisture initialization on skill. C1 [Koster, R. D.; Mahanama, S. P. P.; Yamada, T.

Cobb Basin, Oklahoma SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID FLOOD PREDICTION; SAMPLING ERROR; SYSTEM; UNCERTAINTY; SIMULATION; AVERAGES; SCALES; COVER AB This study evaluates rainfall estimates from the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), operational rain gauges, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA), and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS) in the context as inputs to a calibrated, distributed hydrologic model. A high-density Micronet of rain gauges on the 342-km(2) Ft. Cobb basin in Oklahoma was used as reference rainfall to calibrate the National Weather Service's (NWS) Hydrology Laboratory Research Distributed Hydrologic Model (HL-RDHM) at 4-km/l-h and 0.25 degrees/3-h resolutions. The unadjusted radar product was the overall worst product, while the stage IV radar product with hourly rain gauge adjustment had the best hydrologic skill with a Micronet relative efficiency score of -0.5, only slightly worse than the reference simulation forced by Micronet rainfall. Simulations from TRMM-3B42RT were better than PERSIANN-CCS-RT (a real-time version of PERSIANN-CSS) and equivalent to those from the operational rain gauge network. The high degree of hydrologic skill with TRMM-3B42RT forcing was only achievable when the model was calibrated at TRMM's 0.25 degrees/3-h resolution, thus highlighting the importance of considering rainfall product resolution during model calibration.

TI Polarimetric Estimates of a 1-Month Accumulation of Light Rain with a 3-cm Wavelength Radar SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID DUAL-POLARIZATION RADAR; X-BAND; PROFILING ALGORITHM; DIFFERENTIAL PHASE; GROUND CLUTTER; MELTING-LAYER; WEATHER RADAR; PRECIPITATION; REFLECTIVITY; WSR-88D AB The authors evaluate rainfall estimates from the new polarimetric X-band radar at Bonn, Germany, for a period between mid-November and the end of December 2009 by comparison with rain gauges. The emphasis is on slightly more than 1-month accumulations over areas minimally affected by beam blockage. The rain regime was characterized by reflectivities mainly below 45 dBZ, maximum observed rain rates of 47 mm a mean rain rate of 0.1 mm h(-1), and brightband altitudes between 0.6 and 2.4 km above the ground. Both the reflectivity factor and the specific differential phase are used to obtain the rain rates. The accuracy of rain total estimates is evaluated from the statistics of the differences between radar and rain gauge measurements. Polarimetry provides improvement in the statistics of reflectivity-based measurements by reducing the bias and RMS errors from -25% to 7% and from 33% to 17%, respectively. Essential to this improvement is separation of the data into those attributed to pure rain, those from the bright band, and those due to non-meteorological scatterers. A type-specific (rain or wet snow) relation is applied to obtain the rain rate by matching on the average the contribution by wet snow to the radar-measured rainfall below the bright band. The measurement of rain using specific differential phase is the most robust and can be applied to the very low rain rates and still produce credible accumulation estimates characterized with a standard deviation of 11% but a bias of -25%. A composite estimator is also tested and discussed. C1 [Borowska, L.; Zrnic, D.] NOAA Natl Severe Storms Lab, Norman, OK 73072 USA.

TI Extreme Precipitation Events in the South-Central United States during May and June 2010: Historical Perspective, Role of ENSO, and Trends SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID VARIABILITY; FLOOD AB An analysis of extreme daily precipitation events that occurred in the south-central United States during May and June 2010 is carried out using gridded station data and reanalysis products in use at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Various aspects of the daily extremes are examined from a climate perspective using a 62-yr (1948-2010) period of record, including their historical ranking, common circulation features, moisture plumes, and the possible influence of ENSO. The analysis also considers how the frequency and intensity of daily extremes is changing in the United States. Each of the 2010 flash flood events examined here was associated with historic daily rainfall totals. Several of the events had meteorological conditions in common at upper and lower levels of the atmosphere, and all of the events fit well into an existing classification scheme for heavy precipitation events associated with flash flooding. Each case exhibited characteristics of the "Maya Express" flood events that link tropical moisture plumes from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico to midlatitude flooding over the central United States. Consistent with recent assessment reports, it is shown that extreme daily precipitation events in the United States have increased in frequency during the most recent 30-yr period (1980-2009) when compared to the previous 30-yr period (1950-79), though the increases are relatively small during May and June.

TI Observing Climate at High Elevations Using United States Climate Reference Network Approaches SO JOURNAL OF HYDROMETEOROLOGY LA English DT Article ID AIR-TEMPERATURE; TRENDS; SITES AB The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was deployed between 2001 and 2008 for the purpose of yielding high-quality and temporally stable in situ climate observations in pristine environments over the twenty-first century. Given this mission, USCRN stations are engineered to operate largely autonomously with great reliability and accuracy. A triplicate approach is used to provide redundant measurements of temperature and precipitation at each location, allowing for observations at a specific time to be compared for quality control. This approach has proven to be robust in the most extreme environments, from extreme cold (-49 degrees C) to extreme heat (+52 degrees C), in areas of heavy precipitation (4700 mm yr(-1)), and in locations impacted by strong winds, freezing rain, and other hazards. In addition to a number of stations enduring extreme winter environments in Alaska and the northern United States, seven of the USCRN stations are located at elevations over 2000 m, including stations on Mauna Loa, Hawaii (3407 m) and on Niwot Ridge above Boulder, Colorado (2996 m). The USCRN temperature instruments and radiation shield have also been installed and run successfully at a station on the Quelccaya Ice Cap in Peru (5670 m). This paper reviews the performance of the USCRN station network during its brief lifetime and the potential utility of its triplicate temperature instrument configuration for measuring climate change at elevation.

This is primarily due to the rapid decline of population size in the western part of the species' range since the 1970s and the subsequent Threatened and Endangered species listings that had direct impact on the management of one of the world's largest fisheries. The Steller sea lion has emerged as an indicator species representing the environmental health of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. In this study, to better understand the historical processes that have culminated in the extant populations of E. jubatus, a large genetic data set consisting of 3 mitochondrial regions for >1,000 individuals was analyzed from multiple phylogeographic and demographic perspectives. The results describe the role of climate change in shaping the population structure of E. jubatus. Climatically associated historical processes apparently involved differential demographic responses to ice ages (and putative glacial vicariance) dependent on population size. Ice ages during times of small effective population size promoted restricted gene flow and fragmentation, and ice ages occurring during times of large population size promoted gene flow and dispersal. These results illustrate that effective population size has a profound effect on how species respond to climate change, an observation with obvious implications for large mammals and endangered species under the present conditions of imminent anthropogenically caused climate change. In addition, the results confirm previous observations of strongly biased historic and contemporary gene flow involving dispersal from west to east. Furthermore, phylogenetic patterns in combination with available fossil data suggest the potential of an Asian origin of E. jubatus. The results of this study provide a detailed scenario for the history that has shaped contemporary populations of E. jubatus. C1 [Phillips, C. D.; Patton, J. C.; Bickham, J.

Such associations form for foraging, protection against predators, and social advantage. Mixed-species groups in delphinids are frequent in the wild. We aimed to understand the ecological significance of mixed-species group formation by 2 tropical delphinids, the spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) and the pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata), in waters surrounding the island of Mayotte in the southwestern Indian Ocean. We used sighting data collected year-round from 2004 to 2009. We encountered a total of 67 mixed-species groups (comprising 21% of all groups observed) of spinner and pantropical spotted dolphins around Mayotte. No daily or seasonal variability in the occurrence of associations was detected. Behavioral activities of single-and mixed-species groups differed significantly. Foraging was observed only in single-species groups of pantropical spotted dolphins. Mixed-species groups were larger than single-species groups. When in association, spinner dolphins used deeper waters than while in single-species groups. No evidence of association for social advantage was observed. We suggest that spinner dolphins associate with spotted dolphins for protection against predators when transiting between resting areas.

The G(18) permutation-inversion group-theoretical considerations (allowed coordinate transformations, symmetry species for the basis set functions and various operators, etc.) used in the design of the program are presented, followed by a description of the structure of the program, which uses an "extreme" principal axis method and a two-step diagonalization procedure. Restriction to molecules belonging to the C-s point group at equilibrium allows the use of real arithmetic throughout the program. This program was used to carry out a weighted least-squares fit of more than 800 new microwave and millimeter-wave measurements on ground-state transitions in methyl acetate, leading to root-mean-square deviations of 4 kHz for the microwave lines and of 40 kHz for the millimeter-wave lines, i.e., to residuals essentially equal to the experimental measurement errors, and to heights for two internal rotation barriers of 102 cm(-1) (acetyl CH3) and 422 cm(-1) (ester CH3). Some of the difficulties in determining molecular parameters for a two-top molecule from a data set containing only torsional ground state information are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

C. Green grown in a chemostat at 22 degrees C under continuous irradiance. A bioassay procedure involving short-term uptake of 10 picomolar spikes of 33 P-labeled phosphate was used to estimate the concentration of phosphate in the growth chamber. The relationship between growth rate and phosphate was well described by a simple rectangular hyperbola with a half-saturation constant of 2.6 nM. The cells were able to take up micromolar spikes of phosphate at rates two to three orders of magnitude higher than steady-state uptake rates. The kinetics of short-term uptake displayed Holling type III behavior, suggesting that P. lutheri may have multiple uptake systems with different half-saturation constants. Chl a:C ratios were linearly related to growth rate and similar to values previously reported for P. lutheri under nitrate-limited conditions. C:N ratios, also linearly related to growth rate, were consistently lower than values reported for P. lutheri under nitrate-limited conditions, a result presumably reflecting luxury assimilation of nitrogen under phosphate-limited conditions. C:P ratios were linearly related to growth rate in a manner consistent with the Droop equation for growth rate versus cellular P:C ratio.

Birner, Thomas TI Isentropic Slopes, Downgradient Eddy Fluxes, and the Extratropical Atmospheric Circulation Response to Tropical Tropospheric Heating SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-CIRCULATION; PLANETARY-WAVES; DYNAMICAL CORES; STORM-TRACK; ZONAL INDEX; PROPAGATION; VARIABILITY; WESTERLIES; TROPOPAUSE; HEMISPHERE AB Climate change experiments run on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-class numerical models consistently suggest that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases will lead to a poleward shift of the midlatitude jets and their associated eddy fluxes of heat and potential vorticity (PV). Experiments run on idealized models suggest that the poleward contraction of the jets can be traced to the effects of increased latent heating and thus locally enhanced warming in the tropical troposphere. Here the authors provide new insights into the dynamics of the circulation response to tropical tropospheric heating using transient experiments in an idealized general circulation model. It is argued that the response of the midlatitude jets to tropical heating is driven fundamentally by 1) the projection of the heating onto the meridional slope of the lower tropospheric isentropic surfaces, and 2) a diffusive model of the eddy fluxes of heat and PV. In the lower and middle troposphere, regions where the meridional slope of the isentropes (i.e., the baroclinicity) is increased are marked by anomalously poleward eddy fluxes of heat, and vice versa. Near the tropopause, regions where the meridional gradients in PV are increased are characterized by anomalously equatorward eddy fluxes of PV, and vice versa. The barotropic component of the response is shown to be closely approximated by the changes in the lower-level heat fluxes. As such, the changes in the eddy fluxes of momentum near the tropopause appear to be driven primarily by the changes in wave generation in the lower troposphere.

The Rutledge and Hobbs-based bulk microphysics scheme in the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model is modified to reduce this bias and improve realistic aspects. Modifications include lowering the efficiencies for snow/graupel riming and snow accreting cloud ice; converting less rimed snow to graupel; allowing snow/graupel sublimation; adding rime splintering, immersion freezing, and contact nucleation; replacing the Fletcher formulation for activated ice nuclei with that of Meyers et al.; allowing for ice supersaturation in the saturation adjustment; accounting for ambient RH in the growth of cloud ice to snow; and adding/accounting for cloud ice fall speeds. In addition, size-mapping schemes for snow/graupel were added as functions of temperature and mixing ratio, lowering particle sizes at colder temperatures but allowing larger particles near the melting level and at higher mixing ratios. The modifications were applied to a weakly organized continental case and an oceanic mesoscale convective system (MCS). Strong echoes in the middle and upper troposphere were reduced in both cases. Peak reflectivities agreed well with radar for the weaker land case but, despite improvement, remained too high for the MCS. Reflectivity distributions versus height were much improved versus radar for the less organized land case but not for the MCS despite fewer excessively strong echoes aloft due to a bias toward weaker echoes at storm top.

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.

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.

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.

However, reintroduced populations are frequently smaller and more geographically isolated than native populations. Mixing genetically, divergent sources are often proposed to attenuate potentially low genetic diversity in reintroduced populations that may result from small effective population sizes. However, a possible negative tradeoff for mixing sources is outbreeding depression in hybrid offspring. We examined the consequences of mixed-source reintroductions on several fitness surrogates at nine slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) reintroduction sites in south-east Minnesota. We inferred the relative fitness of each crosstype in the reintroduced populations by comparing their growth rate, length, weight, body condition and persistence in reintroduced populations. Pure strain descendents from a single source population persisted in a greater proportion than expected in the reintroduced populations, whereas all other crosstypes occurred in a lesser proportion. Length, weight and growth rate were lower for second-generation intra-population hybrid descendents than for pure strain and first-generation hybrids. In the predominant pure strain, young-of the-year size was significantly greater than any other crosstype. Our results suggested that differences in fitness surrogates among crosstypes were consistent with disrupted co-adapted gene complexes associated with beneficial adaptations in these reintroduced populations. Future reintroductions may be improved by evaluating the potential for local adaptation in source populations or by avoiding the use of mixed sources by default when information on local adaptations or other genetic characteristics is lacking.

In this work, a description of the RTMA applied to the 5-km resolution conterminous U.S. grid of the National Digital Forecast Database is given. Its two-dimensional variational data assimilation (2DVAR) component used to analyze near-surface observations is described in detail, and a brief discussion of the remapping of the NCEP stage II quantitative precipitation amount and NESDIS Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounder effective cloud amount to the 5-km grid is offered. Terrain-following background error covariances are used with the 2DVAR approach, which produces gridded fields of 2-m temperature, 2-m specific humidity, 2-m dewpoint, 10-m U and V wind components, and surface pressure. The estimate of the analysis uncertainty via the Lanczos method is briefly described. The strength of the 2DVAR is illustrated by (i) its ability to analyze a June 2007 cold temperature pool over the Washington, D.C., area; (ii) its fairly good analysis of a December 2008 mid-Atlantic region high-wind event that started from a very weak first guess; and (iii) its successful recovery of the finescale moisture features in a January 2010 case study over southern California. According to a cross-validation analysis for a 15-day period during November 2009, root-mean-square error improvements over the first guess range from 16% for wind speed to 45% for specific humidity.

TI New Probabilistic Forecast Models for the Prediction of Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID CONVECTIVE VERTICAL MOTIONS; NORTH PACIFIC BASINS; SCHEME SHIPS; INTENSE HURRICANES; ATLANTIC BASIN; INNER-CORE; PART I; BUOYANCY AB The National Hurricane Center currently employs a skillful probabilistic rapid intensification index (RII) based on linear discriminant analysis of the environmental and satellite-derived features from the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) dataset. Probabilistic prediction of rapid intensity change in tropical cyclones is revisited here using two additional models: one based on logistic regression and the other on a naive Bayesian framework. Each model incorporates data from the SHIPS dataset over both the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacific Ocean basins to provide the probability of exceeding the standard rapid intensification thresholds [25, 30, and 35 kt (24 h)(-1)] for 24 h into the future. The optimal SHIPS and satellite-based predictors of rapid intensification differ slightly between each probabilistic model and ocean basin, but each set of optimal predictors incorporates thermodynamic and dynamic aspects of the tropical cyclone's environment (such as vertical wind shear) and its structure (such as departure from convective axisymmetry). Cross validation shows that both the logistic regression and Bayesian probabilistic models are skillful relative to climatology. Dependent testing indicates both models exhibit forecast skill that generally exceeds the skill of the present operational SHIPS-RII and a simple average of the probabilities provided by the logistic regression, Bayesian, and SHIPS-Rh I models provides greater skill than any individual model. For the rapid intensification threshold of 25 kt (24 h)(-1), the three-member ensemble mean improves the Brier skill scores of the current operational SHIPS-RII by 33% in the North Atlantic and 52% in the eastern North Pacific.

TI Probabilistic Forecast Guidance for Severe Thunderstorms Based on the Identification of Extreme Phenomena in Convection-Allowing Model Forecasts SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS; VERIFICATION METHODS; UNITED-STATES; WRF MODEL; PREDICTION; ENSEMBLES; SYSTEM AB With the advent of convection-allowing NWP models (CAMs) comes the potential for new forms of forecast guidance. While CAMs lack the required resolution to simulate many severe phenomena associated with convection (e.g., large hail, downburst winds, and tornadoes), they can still provide unique guidance for the occurrence of these phenomena if "extreme" patterns of behavior in simulated storms are strongly correlated with observed severe phenomena. This concept is explored using output from a series of CAM forecasts generated on a daily basis during the spring of 2008. This output is mined for the presence of extreme values of updraft helicity (UH), a diagnostic field used to identify supercellular storms. Extreme values of the UH field are flagged as simulated "surrogate" severe weather reports and the spatial correspondence between these surrogate reports and actual observed severe reports is determined. In addition, probabilistic forecasts [surrogate severe probabilistic forecasts (SSPFs)] are created from each field's simulated surrogate severe reports using a Gaussian smoother. The simulated surrogate reports are capable of reproducing the seasonal climatology observed within the field of actual reports. The SSPFs created from the surrogates are verified using ROC curves and reliability diagrams and the sensitivity of the verification metrics to the smoothing parameter in the Gaussian distribution is tested. The SSPFs produce reliable forecast probabilities with minimal calibration. These results demonstrate that a relatively straightforward postprocessing procedure, which focuses on the characteristics of explicitly predicted convective entities, can provide reliable severe weather forecast guidance. It is anticipated that this technique will be even more valuable when implemented within a convection-allowing ensemble forecasting system.

TI Conditional Probability Estimation for Significant Tornadoes Based on Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) Profiles SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID FORECAST PARAMETERS; SUPERCELL; BOUNDARIES; ENVIRONMENTS; EVOLUTION; LEVEL AB Recent literature has identified several supercell/tornado forecast parameters in common use that are operationally beneficial in assessing environments supportive of supercell tornadoes. These parameters are utilized in the computation of tornado forecast guidance such as the significant tornado parameter (STP), a dimensionless parameter developed at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) that applies a subjectively chosen scale. The goal of this research is to determine if useful logistic regression equations can be developed to estimate the conditional probability of supercell tornadoes that are categorized as level 2 or stronger on the enhanced Fujita scale (EF) when a similar set of environmental background parameters is applied as variables. A large database of Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) analysis soundings in proximity to a representative sample of tornadic and nontornadic supercells over the central and eastern United States, a number of which were associated with EF2 or stronger tornadoes, was used to compute supercell tornado forecast parameters similar to those in the original version of STP. Three logistic regression equations were developed from this database, two of which are described and analyzed in detail. Statistical verification for both equations was accomplished using independent data from 2008 in proximity to supercell storms identified by staff at SPC. A recent version of the STP was utilized as a comparison diagnostic to accomplish part of the statistical verification. The results of this research suggest that output from both logistic regression equations can provide valuable guidance in a probabilistic sense, when adjustments are made for the ongoing convective mode. Case studies presented also suggest that this guidance can provide information complementary to STP in severe weather situations with potential for supercell tornadoes.

TI The NSSL Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm in Winter Surface Precipitation: Evaluation and Future Development SO WEATHER AND FORECASTING LA English DT Article ID POLARIZATION RADAR MEASUREMENTS; WSR-88D AB The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) has developed a hydrometeor classification algorithm (HCA) for use with the polarimetric upgrade of the current Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network. The algorithm was developed specifically for warm-season convection, but it will run regardless of season, and so its performance on surface precipitation type during winter events is examined here. The HCA output is compared with collocated (in time and space) observations of precipitation type provided by the public. The Peirce skill score (PSS) shows that the NSSL HCA applied to winter surface precipitation displays little skill, with a PSS of only 0.115. Further analysis indicates that HCA failures are strongly linked to the inability of HCA to accommodate refreezing below the first freezing level and to errors in the melting-level detection algorithm. Entrants in the 2009 American Meteorological Society second annual artificial intelligence competition developed classification methods that yield a PSS of 0.35 using a subset of available radar data merged with limited environmental data. Thus, when polarimetric radar data and environmental data are appropriately combined, more information about winter surface precipitation type is available than from either data source alone.

TI Active DLP Hyperspectral Illumination: A Noninvasive, in Vivo, System Characterization Visualizing Tissue Oxygenation at Near Video Rates SO ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY; DIABETIC FOOT; NITRIC-OXIDE; PERFUSION AB We report use of a novel hyperspectral imaging system utilizing digital light processing (DLP) technology to noninvasively visualize in vivo tissue oxygenation during surgical procedures. The system's novelty resides in its method of illuminating tissue with precisely predetermined continuous complex spectra. The Texas Instruments digital micromirror device, DMD, chip consisting of 768 by 1024 mirrors, each 16 mu m square, can be switched between two positions at 12.5 kHz. Switching the appropriate mirrors controls the intensity of light illuminating the tissue as a function of wavelength, active spectral illumination. Meaning, the tissue can be illuminated with a different spectrum of light within 80 mu s. Precisely, predetermined spectral illumination penetrates into patient tissue, its chemical composition augments the spectral properties of the light, and its reflected spectra are detected and digitized at each pixel detector of a silicon charge-coupled device, CCD. Using complex spectral illumination, digital signal processing and chemometric methods produce chemically relevant images at near video rates. Specific to this work, tissue is illuminated spectrally with light spanning the visible electromagnetic spectrum (380 to 780 nm). Spectrophotometric images are detected and processed visualizing the percentage of oxyhemoglobin at each pixel detector and presented continuously, in real time, at 3 images per second. As a proof of principle application, kidneys of four live anesthetized pigs were imaged before, during, and after renal vascular occlusion. DLP Hyperspectral Imaging with active spectral illumination detected a 64.73 +/- 1.5% drop in the oxygenation of hemoglobin within 30 s of renal arterial occlusion. Producing chemically encoded images at near video rate, time-resolved hyperspectral imaging facilitates monitoring renal blood flow during animal surgery and holds considerable promise for doing the same during human surgical interventions.

Barlow, Jay TI Bayesian state-space model of fin whale abundance trends from a 1991-2008 time series of line-transect surveys in the California Current SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Balaenoptera physalus; cetacean density; distance sampling; hierarchical modelling; multi-model inference ID IMPERFECT DETECTION; PACIFIC-OCEAN; NORTH PACIFIC; CONSERVATION; POPULATIONS; CETACEANS AB 1. 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.

TI Micro-scale measurement and modeling of stress in silicon surrounding a tungsten-filled through-silicon via SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID INTEGRATION; TECHNOLOGY; INTERCONNECTS; COST; VIAS; GAP AB The stress in silicon surrounding a tungsten-filled through-silicon via (TSV) is measured using confocal Raman microscopy line scans across the TSV both before and after etch removal of an oxide stack used as a mask to define the TSV during fabrication. Stress in the silicon arose in response to both athermal deposition and thermal expansion mismatch effects. The complex three-dimensional stress and strain field in silicon surrounding the TSV is modeled using finite element analysis, taking into account both athermal and thermal effects and the elastic anisotropy of silicon. Comparison of the measurements and model results shows that no one component of the stress tensor correlates with the Raman peak shift generated by the deformed silicon. An analysis is developed to predict the Raman shift in deformed silicon that takes into account all the components of the stress or strain tensor; the results of the model are then used as inputs to the analysis for direct comparison with measured peak shifts as a function of distance from the TSV. Good agreement between the measured and predicted peak shifts is obtained for the case of the intact oxide stack. A discrepancy between the measured and predicted shifts was observed adjacent to the TSV with the oxide stack removed; further modeling suggests the discrepancy is explained by the formation of a small void at the TSV-silicon interface during etching. The combined measurement-modeling approach serves to both validate the model, in this case for TSV design, and to extend the measurement capability of confocal Raman microscopy to complex stress fields.

This paper describes developments to all CCSM components, and documents fully coupled preindustrial control runs compared to the previous version, CCSM3. Using the standard atmosphere and land resolution of 1 degrees results in the sea surface temperature biases in the major upwelling regions being comparable to the 1.4 degrees-resolution CCSM3. Two changes to the deep convection scheme in the atmosphere component result in CCSM4 producing El Nino-Southern Oscillation variability with a much more realistic frequency distribution than in CCSM3, although the amplitude is too large compared to observations. These changes also improve the Madden-Julian oscillation and the frequency distribution of tropical precipitation. A new overflow parameterization in the ocean component leads to an improved simulation of the Gulf Stream path and the North Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulation. Changes to the CCSM4 land component lead to a much improved annual cycle of water storage, especially in the tropics. The CCSM4 sea ice component uses much more realistic albedos than CCSM3, and for several reasons the Arctic sea ice concentration is improved in CCSM4. An ensemble of twentieth-century simulations produces a good match to the observed September Arctic sea ice extent from 1979 to 2005. The CCSM4 ensemble mean increase in globally averaged surface temperature between 1850 and 2005 is larger than the observed increase by about 0.4 degrees C. This is consistent with the fact that CCSM4 does not include a representation of the indirect effects of aerosols, although other factors may come into play. The CCSM4 still has significant biases, such as the mean precipitation distribution in the tropical Pacific Ocean, too much low cloud in the Arctic, and the latitudinal distributions of shortwave and longwave cloud forcings.

TI A Model Investigation of Aerosol-Induced Changes in Tropical Circulation SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID TRACE GASES; CLIMATE; RESPONSES; EMISSION; CYCLE; GCM AB This study investigates how anthropogenic aerosols, alone or in conjunction with radiatively active gases, affect the tropical circulation with an atmosphere/mixed layer ocean general circulation model. Aerosol-induced cooling gives rise to a substantial increase in the overall strength of the tropical circulation, a robust outcome consistent with a thermodynamical scaling argument. Owing to the interhemispheric asymmetry in aerosol forcing, the zonal-mean (Hadley) and zonally asymmetrical components of the tropical circulation respond differently. The Hadley circulation weakens in the Northern Hemisphere but strengthens in the Southern Hemisphere. The resulting northward cross-equatorial moist static energy flux compensates partly for the aerosol radiative cooling in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, the less restricted zonally asymmetrical circulation does not show sensitivity to the spatial structure of aerosols and strengthens in both hemispheres. The results also point to the possible role of aerosols in driving the observed reduction in the equatorial sea level pressure gradient. These circulation changes have profound implications for the hydrological cycle. Aerosols alone make the subtropical dry zones in both hemispheres wetter, as the local hydrological response is controlled thermodynamically by atmospheric moisture content. The deep tropical rainfall undergoes a dynamically induced southward shift, a robust pattern consistent with the adjustments in the zonal-mean circulation and in the meridional moist static energy transport. Less certain is the magnitude of the shift. The nonlinearity exhibited by the combined hydrological response to aerosols and radiatively active gases is dynamical in nature.

Wayne TI Modulation of Cold-Season US Daily Precipitation by the Madden-Julian Oscillation SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID AMERICAN REGIONAL REANALYSIS; EXTREME PRECIPITATION; UNITED-STATES; PREDICTABILITY; CONVECTION; PREDICTION; CALIFORNIA; TROPICS; EVENTS AB This study examines the characteristics of cold-season (November March) daily precipitation over the contiguous United States during active periods of the Madden-Julian oscillation (WO). 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.

TI Climatological Characteristics of Arctic and Antarctic Surface-Based Inversions SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID TEMPERATURE INVERSION; VERTICAL STRUCTURE; ERA-40 REANALYSIS; BOUNDARY-LAYER; CLEAR-SKY; SEA-ICE; WINTER; AIR; DESTRUCTION; ATMOSPHERE AB Surface-based inversions (SBIs) are frequent features of the Arctic and Antarctic atmospheric boundary layer. 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.

In this study, we explore the prospects for DNA barcoding in one particular fish group, the billfishes (suborder Xiphioidei-swordfish, marlins, spearfishes, and sailfish). We sequenced the mitochondrial COI gene from 296 individuals from the 10 currently recognized species of billfishes, and combined these data with a further 57 sequences from previously published projects. We also sequenced the rhodopsin gene from a subset of 72 individuals to allow comparison of mitochondrial results against a nuclear marker. Five of the 10 species are readily distinguishable by COI barcodes. Of the rest, the striped marlin (Kajikia audax) and white marlin (K. albida) show highly similar sequences and are not unambiguously distinguishable by barcodes alone, likewise are the three spearfishes Tetrapturus angustirostris, T. belone, and T. pfluegeri. We discuss the taxonomic status of these species groups in light of our and other data, molecular and morphological.

TI Predictions of 2010's Tropical Cyclones Using the GFS and Ensemble-Based Data Assimilation Methods SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID SYSTEM; GSI AB Experimental ensemble predictions of tropical cyclone (TC) tracks from the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) using the Global Forecast System (GFS) model were recently validated for the 2009 Northern Hemisphere hurricane season by Hamill et al. A similar suite of tests is described here for the 2010 season. Two major changes were made this season: 1) a reduction in the resolution of the GFS model, from 2009's T384L64 (similar to 31 km at 25 degrees N) to 2010's T254L64 (similar to 47 km at 25 degrees N), and some changes in model physics; and 2) the addition of a limited test of deterministic forecasts initialized from a hybrid three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3D-Var)/EnKF method. The GFS/EnKF ensembles continued to produce reduced track errors relative to operational ensemble forecasts created by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), the Met Office (UKMO), and the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). The GFS/EnKF was not uniformly as skillful as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ensemble prediction system. GFS/EnKF track forecasts had slightly higher error than ECMWF at longer leads, especially in the western North Pacific, and exhibited poorer calibration between spread and error than in 2009, perhaps in part because of lower model resolution. Deterministic forecasts from the hybrid were competitive with deterministic EnKF ensemble-mean forecasts and superior in track error to those initialized from the operational variational algorithm, the Grid-point Statistical Interpolation (GSI). Pending further successful testing, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to implement the global hybrid system operationally for data assimilation.

In this study, the authors focus on higher-order scalar advection schemes and their effects on simulated cloud fields. A monotonic multidimensional odd-order conservative advection scheme has been implemented, following the approach of Leonard. It has been tested in simulations of idealized scalar fields advected by simple prescribed motion, as well as turbulence fields; large-eddy simulations of turbulent stratocumulus clouds; and simulations of deep convective clouds. New third-, fifth-, and seventh-order schemes are compared with the second-order scheme originally used in the model. For the deep cumulus case, a high-resolution large-eddy simulation with the same domain size is used as a benchmark. The fifth-order scheme shows much less numerical diffusion than the lower-order scheme. The additional improvement with the seventh-order scheme is minor. The higher-order scheme generally produces simulated cloud fields similar to those obtained with a lower-order scheme with a finer grid spacing. This effect is especially noticeable for the updraft-core statistics of the deep cumulus simulation, as compared with the benchmark simulation. The fifth-order scheme with coarse horizontal resolution produces results close to those of the benchmark simulation. Compared to a high-resolution simulation with the low-order scheme, the numerical cost of the fifth-order simulation is smaller than a factor of 10.

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).

TI Effect of moisture on copolymer fibers based on 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole SO POLYMER DEGRADATION AND STABILITY LA English DT Article DE Copolymer fibers; Body armor; Moisture; Acid release; Degradation; 5-Amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole ID PARA-ARAMID FIBERS; ACRYLIC-MELAMINE COATINGS; ARMOS FIBERS; STRENGTH; EXPOSURE; RUSAR AB In recent years, there has been concern in the soft body armor community that copolymer fibers based on 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole can release hydrochloric acid, which is present in these fibers as a by-product of the manufacturing process. The presence of acids could potentially be detrimental to other fibers that might come in contact with these materials. In an effort to examine this issue, a study was designed to investigate the release of acid in different environments from these fibers. During the first phase of the study, fibers were exposed to water and pH decreases were observed. While immersed in deionized water, two of the fiber samples studied released a sufficient amount of acid to drop the pH of the solution from approximately pH 6.0 to approximately pH 3.0 in less than 10 d at room temperature. Further ion-selective electrode studies of chloride ion released from these fibers indicated that hydrochloric acid may not be the species responsible for this pH reduction. In a second phase of the investigation, fibers were exposed to water vapor in an elevated temperature environment (conditions were 65 degrees C, 80% RH). While the pH reduction released by the water vapor exposure was substantially less than observed in the submersion phase, a reduction in the yarn tensile strength of some of the fibers was observed during this phase of the study. In a third phase, fibers were exposed in a dry oven (less than 5% RH) at 65 degrees C. Almost no pH reduction or strength reduction was observed. Molecular spectroscopy was also performed to better understand the effect of elevated temperature and moisture environments on these fibers. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Messin, Guillaume H.

Observational evidence of the cross-tropopause transport of moisture by thunderstorms includes satellite, aircraft and ground-based data. The primary satellite evidence is taken from both conventional satellite of thunderstorm images and CloudSat vertical cloud cross-section images. The conventional satellite images show cirrus plumes above the anvil tops of some of the convective storms where the anvils are already at the tropopause level. The CloudSat image shows an indication of penetration of cirrus plume into the stratosphere. The aircraft observations consist of earlier observations of the "jumping cirrus" phenomenon reported by Fujita and recent detection of ice particles in the stratospheric air associated with deep convective storms. The ground-based observations are video camera records of the jumping cirrus phenomenon occurring at the top of thunderstorm cells. Numerical model studies of the penetrative deep convective storms were performed utilizing a three-dimensional cloud dynamical model to simulate a typical severe storm which occurred in the US Midwest region on 2 August 1981. Model results indicate two physical mechanisms that cause water to be injected into the stratosphere from the storm: (1) the jumping cirrus mechanism which is caused by the gravity wave breaking at the cloud top, and (2) an instability caused by turbulent mixing in the outer shell of the overshooting dome. Implications of the penetrative convection on global processes and a brief future outlook are discussed.

We investigated apparent lateralized behaviour in North Atlantic humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, in the southern Gulf of Maine using digital acoustic tag ('DTAG') technology to analyse feeding behaviours during 2004-2009. An ideal tool to examine lateralized behaviours, DTAGs allowed continuous measurements of whale depth, heading, pitch and roll throughout the attachment period (less than 24 h). Side preference (right or left) in rolling behaviours (e. g. bottom rolling and side lunging) and directional preference (clockwise or anticlockwise) in feeding behaviours such as looping and spiraling were determined from visual examination of DTAG data. A 'handedness index' (HI) was used to quantify side bias and strength of preference. We found a population-level right-side bias similar to the 90/10 right-hand bias in humans. Furthermore, photos of jaw scuffing and direct tag data on rolling behaviour were used to assign a bottom-rolling side preference for 11 individuals for whom both of these data were available, 10 (90.9%) of which demonstrated a right-side bias. Consistent laterality was observed between individuals that performed bottom rolling and directional feeding behaviours, which was biased in the right/clockwise direction. Younger individuals tended to show weaker lateralization scores than older individuals, even among adults (P - 0.048), suggesting that lateralization develops, and continues to do so, beyond sexual maturity.

The MM5 mesoscale model nested in the ECMWF forecast fields provides the simulations, run at 22.5 km resolution for a two-day period. The multiphysics ensemble combines different model physical parameterization schemes while the other ensemble perturbs the initial state and boundary forcing of the model with the aid of a PV inversion scheme. A PV error climatology derived from the large-scale fields allows to perturb the ECMWF PV fields using the appropriate error range. The verification procedure indicates that even though both EPSs are skillful, the perturbed IBC ensemble is more proficient than the multiphysics EPS for the 19 Mediterranean cyclonic events with heavy rain considered in the study. Therefore the results show a more dominant role of the uncertainties in the initial and boundary conditions than the model error, although both of them contribute significantly to improve the predictability of Western Mediterranean high impact weather situations.

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.

Surface temperature indicated four distinct temperature regimes, characterized by varying cloud, thermodynamic and solar properties. An initial warm, melt-season regime was interrupted by a 3-day cold regime where temperatures dropped from near zero to -7A degrees C. Subsequently mean energy budget residuals remained small and near zero for 1 week until once again temperatures dropped rapidly and the energy budget residuals became negative. Energy budget transitions were dominated by the net radiative fluxes, largely controlled by the cloudiness. Variable heat, moisture and cloud distributions were associated with changing air-masses. Surface cloud radiative forcing, the net radiative effect of clouds on the surface relative to clear skies, is estimated. Shortwave cloud forcing ranged between -50 W m(-2) and zero and varied significantly with surface albedo, solar zenith angle and cloud liquid water. Longwave cloud forcing was larger and generally ranged between 65 and 85 W m(-2), except when the cloud fraction was tenuous or contained little liquid water; thus the net effect of the clouds was to warm the surface. Both cold periods occurred under tenuous, or altogether absent, low-level clouds containing little liquid water, effectively reducing the cloud greenhouse effect. Freeze-up progression was enhanced by a combination of increasing solar zenith angles and surface albedo, while inhibited by a large, positive surface cloud forcing until a new air-mass with considerably less cloudiness advected over the experiment area.

The objective of this study is to improve the performance of dental resins by adding a small amount of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO(2) NPs), which have outstanding mechanical properties and unique photoactivities. Methods. Acrylic acid modified TiO(2) NPs (AP25) were prepared and added to a mixture of bis-phenol-A-dimethacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (mass ratio 1: 1) at seven mass fractions. Disks made of these resins were subjected to FTIR microspectroscopy, nanoindentation, microindentation, and 3-point bending to determine the degree of vinyl conversion (DC) modulus and hardness. The shear bond strengths (SBS) of dentin adhesives containing various amount of AP25 were also examined. Results. The DC increased as a function of mass fraction of AP25 and reached a plateau at 0.1%. The DC of the resin mixture was improved by approximate to 7% up to 91.7 +/- 0.8%. The elastic modulus and hardness of the composites increased initially as more AP25 were added, and decreased after reached the maximum value at approximately 0.06% mass fraction of AP25. The maximum elastic modulus was approximate to 48% higher than that of the NP-free resin, and the maximum hardness was more than twice higher than that of the NP-free resin. Using these resin composites as dental adhesives, the mean SBS using resins with 0.1% mass fraction of AP25 was approximate to 30% higher than those using NP-free resin. Significance. By adding a small amount of AP25 to the resin, the DC and the mechanical properties of resins were improved dramatically. These findings could lead to better performing dental adhesives.

TI Joining dental ceramic layers with glass SO DENTAL MATERIALS LA English DT Article DE Glass bonding; Interface; Veneer; Ceramic core; Crown ID TRANSVERSE FRACTURE; RESTORATIONS; ZIRCONIA; FAILURE AB Objective. Test the hypothesis that glass-bonding of free-form veneer and core ceramic layers can produce robust interfaces, chemically durable and esthetic in appearance and, above all, resistant to delamination. Methods. Layers of independently produced porcelains (NobelRondo (TM) Press porcelain, Nobel BioCare AB and Sagkura Interaction porcelain, Elephant Dental) and matching alumina or zirconia core ceramics (Procera alumina, Nobel BioCare AB, BioZyramyttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal, Cyrtina Dental) were joined with designed glasses, tailored to match thermal expansion coefficients of the components and free of toxic elements. Scanning electron microprobe analysis was used to characterize the chemistry of the joined interfaces, specifically to confirm interdiffusion of ions. Vickers indentations were used to drive controlled corner cracks into the glass interlayers to evaluate the toughness of the interfaces. Results. The glass-bonded interfaces were found to have robust integrity relative to interfaces fused without glass, or those fused with a resin-based adhesive. Significance. The structural integrity of the interfaces between porcelain veneers and alumina or zirconia cores is a critical factor in the longevity of all-ceramic dental crowns and fixed dental prostheses.

TI High-Frequency Characterization of Contact Resistance and Conductivity of Platinum Nanowires SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES LA English DT Article DE Conductivity; contact resistance; high-frequency characterization; platinum (Pt) nanowires (NWs) ID FOCUSED-ION-BEAM; METALLIC NANOWIRES; TRANSPORT AB Contact resistance and conductivity of individual platinum (Pt) nanowires (NWs) embedded in coplanar waveguide structures are investigated at high frequencies. Two approaches to extract the NW conductivity and contact resistance from two-port S-parameters are developed. The first approach is based on transmission-line theory, while the second approach is based on a lumped-element physics-based model. Full-wave and circuit simulations are used to aid validation and the systematic analysis of both methods. Simulations are compared to calibrated on-wafer measurements of individual Pt NWs. The studies of the transmission-line-based approach reveal that the contact resistance can be determined accurately, but the obtained conductivity is inaccurate. By contrast, the lumped-element approach produces accurate results for both the contact resistance and conductivity of Pt NWs. The lumped-element method is used to determine the contact resistance of about 50 Omega and conductivity of 0.013 times the bulk conductivity of Pt for fabricated Pt NWs with 300-nm diameter.

Transmitted intensities vs. temperature at 30 angstrom neutron wavelength were measured for four materials that undergo phase transformations associated with changes in dynamics: ammonium iodide, sodium borohydride, hexamethylbenzene, and dicesium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate. In some cases, neutron vibrational spectra above and below the transformation temperatures are compared to the transmission results. The measurements show changes in transmission at or near the transition for all these compounds, reflecting dynamical changes. The results demonstrate that the transmission method is sensitive to motional changes due to a wide range of structural transitions, from first-order to much more subtle order-disorder effects and for both small molecular species and larger molecules. The technique is valuable for rapid (ca. hours) scans of new materials to guide neutron inelastic scattering experiments or to complement the results of other techniques. Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI Effect of randomly varying impedance on the interference of the direct and ground-reflected waves SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID SOUND-PROPAGATION; MODELS; MEDIA AB A randomly varying ground impedance is introduced into the solution for the sound field produced by a point source in a homogeneous atmosphere above a flat ground. The results show that in general the ground with a random impedance cannot be represented by an effective, non-random impedance. The behavior of the solution is studied with a relaxation model for the impedance in which porosity and the static flow resistivity are random variables. Mean values and standard deviations are adopted from measurements of two types of ground surfaces. For both surfaces, the mean intensity of the sound field above a random-impedance ground deviates only slightly from the intensity above a non-random impedance. The normalized standard deviation of intensity fluctuations can, however, be greater than one, thus indicating that for a particular realization of the random impedance, the sound intensity might significantly deviate from the intensity for a non-random impedance.

TI Automated extraction of odontocete whistle contours SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID KILLER WHALE VOCALIZATIONS; PARTICLE FILTERS; IDENTIFICATION; TRACKING AB Many odontocetes produce frequency modulated tonal calls known as whistles. The ability to automatically determine time x frequency tracks corresponding to these vocalizations has numerous applications including species description, identification, and density estimation. This work develops and compares two algorithms on a common corpus of nearly one hour of data collected in the Southern California Bight and at Palmyra Atoll. The corpus contains over 3000 whistles from bottlenose dolphins, long- and short-beaked common dolphins, spinner dolphins, and melon-headed whales that have been annotated by a human, and released to the Moby Sound archive. Both algorithms use a common signal processing front end to determine time x frequency peaks from a spectrogram. In the first method, a particle filter performs Bayesian filtering, estimating the contour from the noisy spectral peaks. The second method uses an adaptive polynomial prediction to connect peaks into a graph, merging graphs when they cross. Whistle contours are extracted from graphs using information from both sides of crossings. The particle filter was able to retrieve 71.5% (recall) of the human annotated tonals with 60.8% of the detections being valid (precision). The graph algorithm's recall rate was 80.0% with a precision of 76.9%. (C) 2011 Acoustical Society of America.

TI Scattering of a spherical wave by a small sphere: An elementary solution SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID FREQUENCY SOUND-TRANSMISSION; INTERFACE AB Wave scattering by objects that are small compared to the wavelength (Rayleigh scattering) is usually studied for plane incident waves. However, knowledge of the full Green's function of the problem becomes necessary when the separation of scatterers from either an interface or each other is comparable to the scatterers' dimensions. Here, an elementary analytic solution is derived for diffraction of a spherical sound wave by a small, soft sphere. The approximate solution is obtained from asymptotic expansions of an exact solution, holds everywhere outside the sphere, and reduces to classical results due to Kelvin and Rayleigh in appropriate special cases.

One such source, kernite (Na(2)B(4)O(6)(OH)(2)center dot 3H2O), offers an array of challenges for traditional electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA)-it is hygroscopic, an electrical insulator, composed entirely of light elements, and sensitive to both low pressures and the electron beam. However, the approximate stoichiometric composition of kernite can be analyzed with careful preparation, proper selection of reference materials, and attention to the details of quantification procedures, including correction for the time dependency of the sodium X-ray signal. Moreover, a reasonable estimation of the mineral's water content can also be made by comparing the measured oxygen to the calculated stoichiometric oxygen content. X-ray diffraction, variable-pressure electron imaging, and visual inspection elucidate the structural consequences of high vacuum treatment of kernite, while Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm electron beam-driven migration of sodium and oxygen out of the near-surface region (sampling depth approximate to 2 nm). These surface effects are insufficiently large to significantly affect the EPMA results (sampling depth approximate to 400 nm at 5 keV).

TI Quantum spectroscopy with Schrodinger-cat states SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SQUEEZED STATES; TELEPORTATION; METROLOGY; COHERENT; CAVITY; LIGHT; FIELD AB Laser-spectroscopic techniques that exploit light-matter entanglement promise access to many-body configurations. Their practical implementation, however, is hindered by the large number of coupled states involved. Here, we introduce a scheme to deal with this complexity by combining quantitative experiments with theoretical analysis. We analyse the absorption properties of semiconductor quantum wells and present a converging cluster-expansion transformation that robustly projects a large set of quantitative classical measurements onto the true quantum responses. Classical and quantum sources are shown to yield significantly different results; Schrodinger-cat states can enhance the signal by an order of magnitude. Moreover, squeezing of the source can help to individually control and characterize excitons, biexcitons and electron-hole complexes. C1 [Kira, M.; Koch, S.

TI Spatial and Temporal Comparisons of Benthic Composition at Necker Island, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands SO PACIFIC SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID FRENCH FRIGATE SHOALS; CORAL-REEFS; PHASE-SHIFTS; LARVAL METAMORPHOSIS; COMMUNITY STRUCTURE; ASSEMBLAGES; RESILIENCE; EMPHASIS; DENSITY; HABITAT AB Necker Island, a remote island located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, provides a unique opportunity to investigate species-level algal and benthic invertebrate assemblages and assess temporal variation of coral reef ecosystems exposed to minimal anthropogenic impacts. This study provides a robust baseline of common benthic species at Necker Island and their relative abundances before any known ecological response to changing oceanographic conditions. Rapid ecological assessment (REA) methods using photoquadrat imagery from long-term monitoring sites coupled with towed-diver surveys conducted between 2002 and 2006 were analyzed to determine percentage cover of benthic organisms around the island, and macroalgal species lists were compiled from voucher specimens. Benthic substrates were typically dominated by turf algae at all sites for all years, and macroalgal and coral covers were found to be low. A total of 25 macroalgal and 11 anthozoan species was identified. Of these, 13 macroalgal species and one coral species represent new records for Necker Island. Analyses of community similarity found spatial differences among sites in 2006, as well as temporal differences between 2005 and 2006, an outcome primarily driven by significant increases in percentage cover of macroalgae and coral at one site. However, benthic communities observed during extensive towed-diver surveys around Necker Island did not identify significant differences among geographical sectors or years, suggesting that benthic communities are relatively homogeneous. Necker Island contains macroalgal and coral populations similar to those of neighboring reef systems within the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and this study provides a baseline of benthic assemblages for ongoing temporal monitoring.

TI Oceanic Diet and Distribution of Haplotypes for the Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, in the Central North Pacific SO PACIFIC SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID LOGGERHEAD SEA-TURTLES; PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERY; MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA; HAWAIIAN-ISLANDS; DEBRIS INGESTION; BAJA-CALIFORNIA; CARETTA-CARETTA; EASTERN PACIFIC; ECOLOGY; POPULATION 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.

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.

It is shown that the spectral formulations can be used (i) to precisely compute the information contents from one-dimensional radar data uniformly distributed along the radar beam, (ii) to approximately estimate the information contents from two-dimensional radar observations non-uniformly distributed on the conical surface of radar scan and thus (iii) to estimate the information losses caused by super-observations generated by local averaging with a series of successively coarsened resolutions to find an optimally coarsened resolution for radar data compression with zero or near-zero minimal loss of information. The results obtained from the spectral formulations are verified against the results computed accurately but costly from the singular-value formulations. As the background and observation error power spectra can be derived analytically for the above utilities, the spectral formulations are computationally much more efficient and affordable than the singular-value formulations, even and especially when the background space and observation space are both extremely large and too large to be computed by the singular-value formulations.

Twelve PFCs, consisting of perfluorinated carboxylic (PFCA) and sulfonic (PFSA) acids as well as the perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) precursor perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA), were measured in livers of 68 beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) collected from two subpopulations, Cook Inlet and eastern Chukchi Sea, in Alaska between 1989 and 2006. PFOS and PFOSA were the dominant compounds measured in both beluga stock populations, with overall median concentrations of 10.8 ng/g and 22.8 ng/g, respectively. Long- chain perfluorocarboxylates, PFCAs (9 to 14 carbons), were detected in more than 80% of the samples. Perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnA) and perfluorotridecanoic acid (PFTriA) made up a large percentage of the PFCAs measured with median concentrations of 8.49 ng/g and 4.38 ng/g, respectively. To compare differences in location, year, sex, and length, backward stepwise multiple regression models of the individual and total PFC concentrations were used. Spatially, the Cook Inlet belugas had higher concentrations of most PFCAs and PFOS (p < 0.05); however, these belugas had a lower median concentration of PFOSA when compared to belugas from the eastern Chukchi Sea (p < 0.05). Temporal trends indicated most PFCAs, PFHxS, PFOS, and PFOSA concentrations increased from 1989 to 2006 (p < 0.05). Males had significantly higher concentrations of PFTriA, Sigma PFCA, and PFOS (p < 0.05). Perfluorononanic acid (PFNA) and PFOS showed a significant decrease in concentration with increasing animal length (p < 0.05). These observations suggest the accumulation of PFCs in belugas is influenced by year, location, sex, and length.

Blends of a low-bandgap silole-containing conjugated polymer, poly[(4,4'-bis(2-ethylhexyl) dithieno[3,2-b;2',3'-d]silole)-2,6-diyl-alt-(4,7-bis(2-thienyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)-5,5'-diyl] (PSBTBT) with [6,6] phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were investigated under different processing conditions. The surface morphologies and vertical segregation of the "As-Spun", "Pre-Annealed", and "Post-Annealed" films were studied by scanning force microscopy, contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry, and neutron reflectivity. The results showed that PSBTBT was enriched at the cathode interface in the "As-Spun" films and thermal annealing increased the segregation of PSBTBT to the free surface, while thermal annealing after deposition of the cathode increased the PCBM concentration at the cathode interface. Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering showed that the crystallization of PSBTBT and segregation of PCBM occurred during spin coating, and thermal annealing increased the ordering of PSBTBT and enhanced the segregation of the PCBM, forming domains similar to 10 nm in size, leading to an improvement in photo voltaic performance.

Ozonesondes were launched approximately weekly throughout the one-year monitoring period from September 1, 2007 to August 31, 2008, and daily from June 27 to July 11, 2008. Ozonesonde profile data were found to display a variable agreement with the data from the surface sites along the elevation transect. The strongest determinants of the ozone profile behavior were found to be the vertical atmospheric potential temperature profile and season. The surface elevation ozone profile generally matched the sonde profile quite well, capturing all of the same major features. A seasonal relationship for surface ozonesonde concentration differences was found. This difference is smallest in winter and spring, and tends to be slightly positive (i.e. higher ozone at surface sites), with three-month seasonal median values up to 4 ppbv. The difference turns negative (i.e. lower ozone at surface sites) in summer fall, with seasonal median values becoming as large as -13 ppbv. The seasonal cycle in surface ozonesonde differences was minimal for the lowest monitoring site at 1660 m ASL The magnitude of seasonal change increased with elevation to a maximum of 22 ppbv at 3350 m ASL, before then dropping again by more than half at the highest site, which, at 3530 m ASL, is frequently above the mixed layer boundary. Seasonally dependent surface processes, including ozone production in the surface layer and deposition processes are the most likely determinants of seasonal variation in the surface-ozonesonde data relationship.

It is tempting to employ the supplement 1 to the GUM (GUM-S1) to evaluate the uncertainty associated with the resulting parameter estimates, although doing so is beyond the specified scope of GUM-S1. We compare the result of such a procedure with a Bayesian uncertainty analysis of the corresponding regression model.

TI Final report on the Seventh International Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters (ICAG 2005) SO METROLOGIA LA English DT Article ID GRAVITY AB The Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Sevres, France, hosted the 7th International Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters (ICAG) and the associated Relative Gravity Campaign (RGC) from August to September 2005. ICAG 2005 was prepared and performed as a metrological pilot study, which aimed: (1) To determine the gravity comparison reference values; (2) To determine the offsets of the absolute gravimeters; and (3) As a pilot study to accumulate experience for the CIPM Key Comparisons. This document presents a complete and extensive review of the technical protocol and data processing procedures. The 1st ICAG-RGC comparison was held at the BIPM in 1980-1981 and since then meetings have been organized every 4 years. In this paper, we present an overview of how the meeting was organized, the conditions of BIPM gravimetric sites, technical specifications, data processing strategy and an analysis of the final results. This 7th ICAG final report supersedes all previously published reports. Readings were obtained from participating instruments, 19 absolute gravimeters and 15 relative gravimeters. Precise levelling measurements were carried out and all measurements were performed on the BIPM micro-gravity network which was specifically designed for the comparison.

In both laboratories deuterium lamps were calibrated using the calculability of synchrotron radiation. However, the methods applied in the two laboratories differed significantly. Whereas the calibrations at PTB were performed in vacuum and led to spectral radiant intensities, the measurements at NIST were done in air and resulted in spectral irradiances. Therefore, for this bilateral comparison we not only proved the equivalence of the two measurement procedures, but also the validity of the conversion between the different spectro-radiometric quantities. This successful comparison re-establishes the usefulness of deuterium lamps as transfer standards in the ultraviolet spectral range.

TI Charge Weld Effects on High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of a Hollow Extruded AA6082 Profile SO JOURNAL OF MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE LA English DT Article DE aluminum; automotive; charge weld; coring; extrusion; fatigue; seam weld ID EXTRUSION WELDS; ALLOY; LIFE AB Fatigue properties of specimens taken from different locations along the length of a hollow AA6082 extrusion, where charge weld (interface between successive billets in multi-billet extrusions) properties and the degree of coring (accumulation of highly sheared billet surface material at back end of billet) are expected to vary, have been evaluated. The fatigue strength of transverse specimens containing charge welds is lower near the front of the extrusion where the charge weld separation is relatively large. The relationship between fatigue failure and charge weld separation appears to be directly related to charge weld properties. The lower fatigue properties of the specimens are likely associated with early overload fatigue failure along the charge weld interface. Coring does not appear to have significantly affected fatigue behavior. C1 [Nanninga, N.; White, C.] Michigan Technol Univ, Mat Sci & Engn Dept, Houghton, MI 49931 USA.

We estimated age-specific survival and examined factors influencing survival for a threatened population of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in southeastern Alaska. We used mark-recapture models and data from 1,995 individuals marked at approximately one month of age at four of five rookeries in southeastern Alaska, and resighted from Oregon to the Bering Sea. Average annual survival probability for females was 0.64 for pups and 0.77 for yearlings, and increased from 0.91 to 0.96 from age 3-7 yrs. Annual survival probability of males averaged 0.60 for pups and 0.88 by 7 yrs, resulting in probability of survival to age 7, 33% lower for males compared to females. Pups from northern southeastern Alaska (including an area of low summer population size but rapid growth) were twice as likely to survive to age 7 compared to pups from southern rookeries (including a large, historical, stable rookery). Effects of early conditions on future fitness were observed as (1) environmental conditions in the birth year equally affected first-and second-year survival, and (2) effects of body mass at approximately one month of age were still apparent at 7 yrs. Survival from 0-2 yrs varied among five cohorts by a maximum absolute difference of 0.12. We observed survival costs for long-distance dispersal for males, particularly as juveniles. However, survival was higher for non-pups that dispersed to northern southeastern Alaska, suggesting that moving to an area with greater productivity, greater safety, or lower population size may alleviate a poor start and provide a mechanism for spatial structure for sea lion populations.

Jones, Phil TI The minimization of the screen bias from ancient Western Mediterranean air temperature records: an exploratory statistical analysis SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE screen bias; long temperature records; inter-screen comparison; statistical analysis; regression model; Western Mediterranean climates ID PRESSURE SERIES AB Here we present an exploratory statistical analysis aimed at the minimization of the 'screen bias' from affected ancient air temperature time series over the Western Mediterranean. Our approach lies in the statistical analysis of about 6 years of daily paired temperature observations taken using the ancient Montsouri shelter and the modern Stevenson screen for daily maximum (T-x) and minimum (T-n) temperature data recorded at two experimental sites: the meteorological gardens of La Coruna and Murcia, Spain (locations under the influence of the Oceanic/Atlantic/Galician and Mediterranean arid and semi-arid climate types, respectively), where ongoing field trials have been carried out. Descriptive statistical analysis of the paired series shows pre-sheltered temperatures tended to induce a strong warm bias in T-x data (of about 1 degrees C at the annual scale but with a clear seasonal cycle with higher values in summer and lower in winter), while T-n readings have a small (similar to 0.2 degrees C, and sustained all year round) cold bias compared to the modern period. Statistical relationships between the screen bias and other related meteorological variables show the highest correlation coefficients between the 'screen bias' and T-x, T-n and the diurnal temperature range (DTR) recorded under the replicated ancient shelters at both locations and point to the reliability of these variables as potential predictors of the Delta T-x. We generate a parsimonious regression model based on the data from both experimental sites, which takes into account polynomial terms of lower order for the predictor variables (T-x and DTR recorded under the ancient shelter) and harmonic terms, in order to represent the seasonal cycle of the screen bias. The goodness-of-fit of the model is satisfactory, as it explains up to 51.7% of the additional Delta T-x variability. Copyright.

These materials are being developed with increased functional complexity, such as the incorporation of glycosaminoglycans. Our study shows the impact of heparin intercalation at specific binding sites in telopeptide-free collagen fibrils in terms of their structure, mechanics, and cell response. We demonstrate that heparin binds specifically and in a competitive manner along the tropocollagen helix at places that are occupied in vivo by telopeptides in fibrillar collagen type I. On the basis of this finding, we elucidate the reason for the in vivo dogma that heparin does not intercalate in fibrillar collagens. We further reveal the direct relationship among structure, mechanics, and function in terms of the effect of incorporation of intercalated heparin on the fibrillar structure, fibrillar bending modulus and flexural rigidity and the dynamic response of adherent cells to collagen scaffolds. This tight relationship is considered particularly important when designing xenogeneic scaffolds based on natural collagen type I to trigger cell proliferation and differentiation.

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.

The centric diatom Triceratium dubium (= Biddulphia sp., CCMP 147) contained the highest percentage of 23-methylated sterols (37.2% (24R)-23-methylergosta-5,22-dienol), whereas the pennate diatom Delphineis sp.

The sterol composition of Ditylum brightwellii (CCMP 358) was the most complex, containing Delta(0)- and Delta(7)-sterols, in addition to the predominant Delta(5)-sterols. A pair of previously unknown sterols, stigmasta-5,24,28-trienol and stigmasta-24,28-dienol, were detected in D. brightwellii and their structures were determined by NMR spectroscopic analysis and by synthesis of the former sterol from saringosterol. Also detected in D. brightwellii was the previously unknown 23-methylcholesta-7,22-dienol. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In particular, we present a comparison of three approaches to 4D-Var, namely: the primal formulation of the incremental strong constraint approach: the dual formulation "physical-space statistical analysis system": and the dual formulation indirect representer approach. In agreement with theoretical considerations all three approaches converge to the same ocean circulation estimate when using the same observations and prior information. However, the rate of convergence of the dual formulation was found to be inferior to that of the primal formulation. Other aspects of the 4D-Var performance that relate to the use of multiple outer-loops, preconditioning, and the weak constraint are also explored. A systematic evaluation of the impact of the various components of the 4D-Var control vector (i.e. the initial conditions, surface forcing and open boundary conditions) is also presented. It is shown that correcting for uncertainties in the model initial conditions exerts the largest influence on the ability of the model to fit the available observations. Various important diagnostics of 4D-Var are also examined, including estimates of the posterior error, the information content of the observation array, and innovation-based consistency checks on the prior error assumptions. Using these diagnostic tools, we find that more than 90% of the observations assimilated into the model provide redundant information. This is a symptom of the large percentage of satellite data that are used and to some extent the nature of the data processing employed. This is the second in a series of three papers describing the ROMS 4D-Var systems. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The adjoint of the 4D-Var gain matrix was used to quantify the impact of individual observations and observation platforms on different aspects of the 4D-Var circulation estimates during both analysis and subsequent forecast cycles. In this study we focus on the alongshore and cross-shore transport of the California Current System associated with wind-induced coastal upwelling along the central California coast. The majority of the observations available during any given analysis cycle are from satellite platforms in the form of SST and SSH, and on average these data exert the largest controlling influence on the analysis increments and forecast skill of coastal transport. However, subsurface in situ observations from Argo floats, CTDs, XBTs and tagged marine mammals often have a considerable impact on analyses and forecasts of coastal transport, even though these observations represent a relatively small fraction of the available data at any particular time. During 4D-Var the observations are used to correct for uncertainties in the model control variables, namely the initial conditions, surface forcing, and open boundary conditions. It is found that correcting for uncertainties in both the initial conditions and surface forcing has the largest impact on the analysis increments in alongshore transport, while the cross-shore transport is controlled mainly by the surface forcing. The memory of the circulation associated with the control variable increments was also explored in relation to 7 day forecasts of the coastal circulation. Despite the importance of correcting for surface forcing uncertainties during analysis cycles, the coastal transport during forecast cycles initialized from the analyses has less memory of the surface forcing corrections, and is controlled primarily by the analysis initial conditions. Using the adjoint of the entire 4D-Var system we have also explored the sensitivity of the coastal transport to changes in the observations and the observation array. A single integration of the adjoint of 4D-Var can be used to predict the change that occurs when observations from different platforms are omitted from the 4D-Var analysis. Thus observing system experiments can be performed for each data assimilation cycle at a fraction of the computational cost that would be required to repeat the 4D-Var analyses when observations are withheld. This is the third part of a three part series describing the ROMS 4D-Var systems. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

To further unravel the life history of one of these, the speckled worm eel, Myrophis punctatus we examined samples from extensive time series and discrete samples collected in the ocean and estuaries between Florida and Massachusetts. We now surmise spawning occurs between fall and early winter in the ocean south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and in the vicinity of the Bahamas. The pelagic leptocephalus larvae (10-80 mm Total Length [TL]) are transported north in the Gulf Stream and across the continental shelf to arrive at estuarine inlets at ages of 53 - 110 days. Their estuarine immigration and abundance varies along the east coast, with higher levels occurring at inlets in South Carolina (North Inlet), and North Carolina (Beaufort Inlet), during the winter and early spring. Much lower abundances occur in New Jersey (Little Egg Inlet) in winter and spring and again in the summer. These ingressing individuals were euryodontic leptocephali and metamorphic stages and were shrinking to lengths of 76-52 mm TL as these stages progressed. Metamorphic individuals and glass eels subsequently settle and burrow in estuarine sediments, as do all subsequent stages, and thereby become relatively unavailable to many sampling gears. In estuaries they attained sizes up to 440 mm TL. Later, they presumably enter the ocean to spawn because that is where the smallest larvae are found.

For magnetic levitation, a Halbach linear active magnetic bearing (HLAMB) is used. The HLAMB has two functions: gravity compensation and actively control of vertical motion. To implement these functions, the HLAMB utilizes permanent magnet arrays and Lorentz coils. The fine stage has positioning capabilities with 6 DOF due to four HLAMBs and four voice coil motors (VCM). The HLAMBs control out-of-plane motions, and the VCM control in-plane motions. The fine stage achieves high-precision position feedback using laser interferometers and capacitive sensors. The coarse stage has an H-type structure that can carry the fine stage 300 mm by 300 mm along the x- and y-axes. Positioning and scanning performances are verified by the experimental results. It has +/- 10 and +/- 15 nm in-position stability in the x- and y-axes, respectively. At the scan with 10 mm/s constant velocity, +/- 1 nm mean tracking error and 4.7 nm jitter were obtained.

Keith, David M. Haim, Abraham TI Limiting the impact of light pollution on human health, environment and stellar visibility SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Light pollution; Light technology; Sustainable lighting; Health and light at night ID BREAST-CANCER; CIRCADIAN DISRUPTION; MELATONIN REGULATION; ACTION SPECTRUM; SHIFT-WORK; NIGHT; PHOTORECEPTOR; SECRETION; PATHWAY; CLOCKS AB Light pollution is one of the most rapidly increasing types of environmental degradation. Its levels have been growing exponentially over the natural nocturnal lighting levels provided by starlight and moonlight. To limit this pollution several effective practices have been defined: the use of shielding on lighting fixture to prevent direct upward light, particularly at low angles above the horizon: no over lighting, i.e. avoid using higher lighting levels than strictly needed for the task, constraining illumination to the area where it is needed and the time it will be used. Nevertheless, even after the best control of the light distribution is reached and when the proper quantity of light is used, some upward light emission remains, due to reflections from the lit surfaces and atmospheric scatter. The environmental impact of this "residual light pollution", cannot be neglected and should be limited too. Here we propose a new way to limit the effects of this residual light pollution on wildlife, human health and stellar visibility. We performed analysis of the spectra of common types of lamps for external use, including the new LEDs. We evaluated their emissions relative to the spectral response functions of human eye photoreceptors, in the photopic, scotopic and the 'meltopic' melatonin suppressing bands. We found that the amount of pollution is strongly dependent on the spectral characteristics of the lamps, with the more environmentally friendly lamps being low pressure sodium, followed by high pressure sodium. Most polluting are the lamps with a strong blue emission, like Metal Halide and white LEDs. Migration from the now widely used sodium lamps to white lamps (MH and LEDs) would produce an increase of pollution in the scotopic and melatonin suppression bands of more than five times the present levels, supposing the same photopic installed flux. This increase will exacerbate known and possible unknown effects of light pollution on human health, environment and on visual perception of the Universe by humans. We present quantitative criteria to evaluate the lamps based on their spectral emissions and we suggest regulatory limits for future lighting. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Rainfall intensity-duration thresholds for postfire debris-flow emergency-response planning SO NATURAL HAZARDS LA English DT Article DE Debris flows; Floods; Rainfall thresholds; Wildfires ID SHALLOW LANDSLIDES; BURNED AREAS AB Following wildfires, emergency-response and public-safety agencies can be faced with evacuation and resource-deployment decisions well in advance of coming winter storms and during storms themselves. Information critical to these decisions is provided 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. 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. The range of rainfall conditions associated with different magnitude classes is defined by integrating local rainfall data with the response magnitude information. Magnitude I events can be expected when within-storm rainfall accumulations (A) of given durations (D) fall above the threshold A = 0.4D (0.5) and below A = 0.5D (0.6) for durations greater than 1 h. Magnitude II events will be generated in response to rainfall accumulations and durations between A = 0.4D (0.5) and A = 0.9D (0.5) for durations less than 1 h, and between A = 0.5D (0.6) and A = 0.9D (0.5) or durations greater than 1 h. 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 planning and response decision-making process could result in increased safety for both the public and emergency responders.

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.

TI Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Imaging of Spherical and Flat Counterfaces of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Tribological Contacts: A Correlation of Surface Chemistry and Friction SO TRIBOLOGY LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Friction mechanisms; Solid lubrication friction; Spectroscopy; Humidity; Diamond; Carbon; Solid lubrication mechanisms; Solid lubrication wear; Coatings; NEXAFS ID PHOTOEMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY; THIN-FILMS; DLC FILMS; CARBON; SPECTROMICROSCOPY; INTERFACE; COATINGS AB A recently installed synchrotron radiation near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) full field imaging electron spectrometer was used to spatially resolve the chemical changes of both counterfaces from an ultra- nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) tribological contact. A silicon flat and Si(3)N(4) sphere were both coated with UNCD, and employed to form two wear tracks on the flat in a linear reciprocating tribometer. The first wear track was produced using a new, unconditioned sphere whose surface was thus conditioned during this first experiment. This led to faster run-in and lower friction when producing a second wear track using the conditioned sphere. The large depth of field of the magnetically guided NEXAFS imaging detector enabled rapid, large area spectromicroscopic imaging of both the spherical and flat surfaces. Laterally resolved NEXAFS data from the tribological contact area revealed that both substrates had an as-grown surface layer that contained a higher fraction of sp (2)-bonded carbon and oxygen which was mechanically removed. Unlike the flat, the film on the sphere showed evidence of having graphitic character, both before and after sliding. These results show that the graphitic character of the sphere is not solely responsible for low friction and short run-in. Rather, conditioning the sphere, likely by removing asperities and passivating dangling bonds, leads to lower friction with less chemical modification of the substrate in subsequent tests. The new NEXAFS imaging spectroscopy detector enabled a more complete understanding of the tribological phenomena by imaging, for the first time, the surface chemistry of the spherical counterface which had been in continual contact during wear track formation.

In some studies, carcasses were manipulated in a single pulse or loading rate or manipulations occurred during summer and early fall, rather than simulating the natural dynamic of an extended spawning period, a gradient of loading rates, or testing carcass effects in late fall-early winter when some salmon stocks in the US Pacific Northwest spawn. To address these discrepancies, we manipulated salmon carcass biomass in 16 experimental channels located in the sunlit floodplain of the Cedar River, WA, USA between mid-September and mid-December, 2006. Total carcass loads ranged from 0-4.0 kg/m(2) (0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kg/m(2), n = 2 per treatment) and were added to mimic the temporal dynamic of an extended spawning period. We found little evidence that carcasses influenced primary producer biomass or fish growth; however, nutrients and some primary consumer populations increased with loading rate. These effects varied through time, however. We hypothesize that the variable effects of carcasses were a result of ambient abiotic condition, such as light, temperature and disturbance that constrained trophic response. There was some evidence to suggest peak responses for primary producers and consumers occurred at a loading rate of similar to 1.0-2.0 kg/m(2), which was similar to other experimental studies conducted during summer.

The proposed model is useful for modeling a set of discrete variables measured at multiple sites along with a set of continuous and/or discrete covariates. The proposed model allows for joint examination of the dependence structure of the discrete response and observed covariates and also accommodates site-to-site variability. We develop the graphical model properties and theoretical justifications of this model. Our model has several advantages over the traditional logistic normal model used to analyze similar compositional data, including site-specific random effect terms and the incorporation of discrete and continuous covariates.

Network modeling was completed independently for distinct data subsets, representing periods of low' and 'high' water levels throughout in the wetland. ANNs and BBNs were 'benchmarked' against traditional parametric analyses, with network architectures outperforming regression models. ANNs delivered the greatest predictive accuracy for NEM and did not require expert knowledge about system variables for their development. BBNs provided users with an interactive diagram depicting predictor interaction and the qualitative/quantitative effects of variable dynamics upon NEM, thereby affording better information extraction. Importantly, BBNs accommodated the imbalanced nature of the dataset and appeared less affected (than ANNs) with variable auto-correlation traits that are typically observed within large and 'noisy' environmental datasets.

TI Precision Calculation of Blackbody Radiation Shifts for Optical Frequency Metrology SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID INDIUM ION; STANDARD AB We show that three group IIIB divalent ions, B(+), Al(+), and In(+), have anomalously small blackbody radiation (BBR) shifts of the ns(2) (1)S(0) - nsnp (3)P(0)(o) clock transitions. The fractional BBR shifts for these ions are at least 10 times smaller than those of any other present or proposed optical frequency standards at the same temperature, and are less than 0.3% of the Sr clock shift. We have developed a hybrid configuration-interaction + coupled-cluster method that provides accurate treatment of correlation corrections in such ions and yields a rigorous upper bound on the uncertainty of the final results. We reduce the BBR contribution to the fractional frequency uncertainty of the Al(+) clock to 4 x 10(-19) at T 300 K. We also reduce the uncertainties due to this effect at room temperature to 10(-18) level for B(+) and In(+) to facilitate further development of these systems for metrology and quantum sensing.

Results: SWCNTs localized within fluorescently labeled endosomes, and confocal Raman spectroscopy showed a dramatic reduction in SWCNT uptake into cells at 4 degrees C compared with 37 degrees C. These data suggest energy-dependent endocytosis, as shown previously. We also examined the possibility for non-specific physical penetration of SWCNTs through the plasma membrane. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Langmuir monolayer film balance measurements showed that Pluronic-stabilized SWCNTs associated with membranes but did not possess sufficient insertion energy to penetrate through the membrane. SWCNTs associated with vesicles made from plasma membranes but did not rupture the vesicles. Conclusions: These measurements, combined, demonstrate that Pluronic-stabilized SWCNTs only enter cells via energy-dependent endocytosis, and association of SWCNTs to membrane likely increases uptake.

TI Unique ocean-derived particles serve as a proxy for changes in ocean chemistry SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID MARINE BOUNDARY-LAYER; FLIGHT MASS-SPECTROMETRY; TRANSPARENT EXOPOLYMER PARTICLES; ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL-PARTICLES; CENTRAL ARCTIC-OCEAN; AIR-SEA INTERFACE; ORGANIC-MATTER; INDIAN-OCEAN; CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS; DETECTION EFFICIENCIES AB Oceans represent a significant natural source of gases and particles to the atmosphere. Relative to gas phase compounds, less is known regarding the influence of changes in biological activity in the ocean on the chemistry of sea spray aerosols produced in marine environments. To gain insight into the influence of ocean biology and chemistry on atmospheric aerosol chemistry, simultaneous real-time measurements were made of atmospheric aerosol size and chemical mixing-state, gas phase dimethyl sulfide (DMS), as well as seawater DMS and chlorophyll a. In three different marine environments with elevated chlorophyll a and DMS, unique Mg particles were detected containing Mg2+, Ca2+, K+, and organic carbon. These particles were segregated from sea salt particles highlighting that two subpopulations within the sea spray were being ejected from the ocean. Strong temporal correlations were observed between these unique ocean-derived particles and freshly emitted sea salt particles (R-2 = 0.86), particularly as wind speed increased to at least 10 m/s, and atmospheric DMS (R-2 = 0.76). Time series correlations between ocean measurements and atmospheric aerosol chemistry suggest that chlorophyll a and DMS serve as indicators of changes in the chemistry of the ocean, most likely an increase in organic material, which is directly reflected in the single particle mixing-state. This is the first time such real-time correlations are shown between ocean chemistry and atmospheric aerosol mixing-state. The reasons behind these observed changes in aerosol chemistry are critical for understanding the heterogeneous reactivity, water uptake, and cloud forming potential of sea spray aerosols.

TI Simulation and observations of stratospheric aerosols from the 2009 Sarychev volcanic eruption SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID RAMAN LIDAR OBSERVATIONS; LIMB SCATTERED SUNLIGHT; OPTICAL DEPTH; IN-SITU; SIZE DISTRIBUTION; PINATUBO AEROSOL; GISS MODELE; EXTINCTION; CLOUDS; SO2 AB We used a general circulation model of Earth's climate to conduct simulations of the 12-16 June 2009 eruption of Sarychev volcano (48.1 degrees N, 153.2 degrees E). The model simulates the formation and transport of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol cloud from the eruption and the resulting climate response. We compared optical depth results from these simulations with limb scatter measurements from the Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imaging System (OSIRIS), in situ measurements from balloon-borne instruments lofted from Laramie, Wyoming (41.3 degrees N, 105.7 degrees W), and five lidar stations located throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The aerosol cloud covered most of the Northern Hemisphere, extending slightly into the tropics, with peak backscatter measured between 12 and 16 km in altitude. Aerosol concentrations returned to near-background levels by spring 2010. After accounting for expected sources of discrepancy between each of the data sources, the magnitudes and spatial distributions of aerosol optical depth due to the eruption largely agree. In conducting the simulations, we likely overestimated both particle size and the amount of SO2 injected into the stratosphere, resulting in modeled optical depth values that were a factor of 2-4 too high. Modeled optical depth due to the eruption shows a peak too late in high latitudes and too early in low latitudes, suggesting a problem with stratospheric circulation in the model. The model also shows a higher decay rate in optical depth than is observed, showing an inaccuracy in stratospheric removal rates in some seasons. The modeled removal rate of sulfate aerosols from the Sarychev eruption is higher than the rate calculated for aerosols from the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.

Observations from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard NASA's Aura satellite and AOD products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites were used to specify initial and lateral boundary conditions (IC/BC) for a simulation that spanned over August 2006. The tools and techniques using the satellite data were tested in the context of current regulatory air quality modeling practices. Daily satellite observations were remapped onto the modeling domain and used as IC/BC for daily segments of a month-long simulation and the results were evaluated against surface and ozonesonde observations. Compared to the standard application of CMAQ, OMI O-3 profiles significantly improved model performance in the free troposphere and MODIS aerosol products substantially improved PM2.5 predictions in the boundary layer. The utilization of satellite data for BC helped in the realization of transboundary transport of pollution and was able to explain the recirculation of pollution from Northeast Corridor to the southeastern region. Ozone in the mid- to upper-troposphere was largely dominated by transport and thus benefited most from satellite provided BC. The ozone within the boundary layer was mostly affected by fast production/loss mechanisms that are impacted by surface emissions, chemistry and removal processes and was not impacted as much. A case study for August 18-22 demonstrated that model errors in the placement of a stationary front were the main reason for errors in PM2.5 predictions as the front acted as a boundary between high and low PM2.5 concentrations.

TI On the variability of the Mediterranean Outflow Water in the North Atlantic from 1948 to 2006 SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID OCEAN MODEL HYCOM; VERTICAL COORDINATE; GENERAL-CIRCULATION; OVERFLOW WATER; BOUNDARY-LAYER; NORDIC SEAS; CLIMATOLOGY; OSCILLATION; SIGNATURES; INFLOW AB Recent work has shown that variability in the properties and/or transport of Mediterranean Seawaters spilling across the Strait of Gibraltar into the North Atlantic have had little impact on the variability of Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) in the that basin over the past fifty years. Here we investigate whether circulation changes are the dominant source of MOW variability in the North Atlantic between 1948 and 2006. Using a 1/3 degrees North Atlantic configuration of the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model combined with the Marginal Sea Boundary Condition model, two simulations forced by either climatological or interannual atmospheric fields are performed. The interannual simulation reproduces the observed MOW variability without Mediterranean Seawater changes. Thus, we conclude that MOW variability in the last 60 years is a consequence of circulation changes in the North Atlantic. A series of simulations that separate the mechanical effect of the wind from the impact of buoyancy forcing show that MOW variability can be attributed to shifts between its dominant northward and westward pathways. The pathway shifts from predominantly northward between 1950 and 1975 to predominantly westward between 1975 and 1995 and finally back to northward after 1995. Though these pathway shifts appear to be wind-induced, the property changes are caused by the combined impact of wind and buoyancy forcing on the circulation of the North Atlantic.

We concentrate on an effect known from quantum optics as Autler-Townes splitting, which has been recently demonstrated experimentally [M. A. Sillanp et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 193601 (2009)] in a superconducting phase qubit. In the three-level approximation, we derive analytical solutions and describe how they can be used to extract the decoherence rates and to account for the measurement data. Better agreement with the experiment can be obtained by extending this model to five levels. Finally, we investigate the stationary states created in the experiment and show that their structure is close to that of dark states. C1 [Li, Jian; Paraoanu, G.

DeVries, Tim TI The control of atmospheric pCO(2) by ocean ventilation change: The effect of the oceanic storage of biogenic carbon SO GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES LA English DT Article ID LAST GLACIAL PERIOD; SOUTHERN-OCEAN; CO2 CONCENTRATION; CYCLE; CIRCULATION; MODEL; CLIMATE; WATER; RISE; STRATIFICATION AB A simple analytical framework is developed relating the atmospheric partial pressure of CO2 to the globally-averaged concentrations of respired carbon ((C-soft) over bar) and dissolved carbonate (C-soft) over bar in the ocean. Assuming that the inventory of carbon is conserved in the ocean-atmosphere system (i.e. no seawater-sediment interactions), the resulting formula of Delta pCO(2)/pCO(2) = -0.0053 Delta (C-soft) over bar + 0.0034 Delta (C-carb) over bar suggests that atmospheric pCO(2) would decrease by 5.3% and increase by 3.4% when (C-soft) over bar and (C-carb) over bar increase by 10 mu mol kg(-1), respectively. Using this analytical framework along with a 3-D global ocean biogeochemistry model, we show that the response of atmospheric pCO(2) to changes in ocean circulation is rather modest because similar to 30% of the change in atmospheric pCO(2) caused by the accumulation of respired carbon is countered by a concomitant accumulation of dissolved carbonate in deep waters. Among the suite of circulation models examined here, the largest reduction in atmospheric pCO(2) of 44-88 ppm occurs in a model where reduced overturning rates of both southern and northern sourced deep waters result in a four-fold increase in the Southern Ocean deep water ventilation age. On the other hand, when the ventilation rate of the southern-sourced water decreases, but the overturning rate of North Atlantic Deep Water increases, the resulting decrease in atmospheric pCO(2) is only 14-34 ppm. The large uncertainty ranges in atmospheric pCO(2) arise from uncertainty in how surface productivity responds to circulation change. Although the uncertainty is large, this study suggests that a synchronously reduced rate for the deep water formation in both hemispheres could lead to the large glacial reduction in atmospheric pCO(2) of 80-100 ppm.

TI Atmospheric Chemistry of (Z)-CF3CH=CHCF3: OH Radical Reaction Rate Coefficient and Global Warming Potential SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID GAS-PHASE REACTIONS; INITIATED OXIDATION; ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS; RATE CONSTANTS; KINETICS; CF3CF=CFCF3; PHOTOLYSIS; MECHANISMS; ALKENES; SPECTRA AB Rate coefficients, k, for the gas-phase reaction of the OH radical with (Z)-CF3CH-CH=CF3 (cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene) were measured under pseudo-first-order conditions in OH using pulsed laser photolysis (PLP) to produce OH and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to detect it. Rate coefficients were measured over a range of temperatures (212-374 K) and bath gas pressures (20-200 Torr; He, N-2) and found to be independent of pressure over this range of conditions. The rate coefficient has a non-Arrhenius behavior that is well-described by the expression k(1)(T) = (5.73 +/- 0.60) x 10(-19) x T-2 x exp[(678 +/- 10)/T] cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) where k(1)(296 K) was measured to be (4.91 +/- 0.50) x 10(-13) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) and the uncertainties are at the 2 sigma level and include estimated systematic errors. Rate coefficients for the analogous OD radical reaction were determined over a range of temperatures (262-374 K) at 100 Torr (He) to be k(2)(T) = (4.81 +/- 0.20) x 10(-19) x T-2 x exp[(776 +/- 15)/T], with k(2)(296 K) = (5.73 +/- 0.50) x 10(-13) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). OH radical rate coefficients were also measured at 296, 345, and 375 K using a relative rate technique and found to be in good agreement with the PLP-LIF results. A room-temperature rate coefficient for the O-3 + (Z)-CF3CH-CH=CF3 reaction was measured using an absolute method with O-3 in excess to be <6 x 10(-21) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The atmospheric lifetime of (Z)-CF3CH-CHCF3 due to loss by OH reaction was estimated to be similar to 20 days. Infrared absorption spectra of (Z)-CF3CH-CH=CF3 measured in this work were used to determine a (Z)-CF3CH-CH=CF3 global warming potential (GWP) of similar to 9 for the 100 year time horizon. A comparison of the OH reactivity of (Z)-CF3CH-CHCF3 with other unsaturated fluorinated compounds is presented. C1 [Baasandorj, Munkhbayar; Ravishankara, A.

TI Global Conservation Priorities for Marine Turtles SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID LEATHERBACK TURTLE; SEA-TURTLES; POPULATION; MANAGEMENT; PACIFIC; RECOVERY AB Where conservation resources are limited and conservation targets are diverse, robust yet flexible priority-setting frameworks are vital. Priority-setting is especially important for geographically widespread species with distinct populations subject to multiple threats that operate on different spatial and temporal scales. Marine turtles are widely distributed and exhibit intra-specific variations in population sizes and trends, as well as reproduction and morphology. However, current global extinction risk assessment frameworks do not assess conservation status of spatially and biologically distinct marine turtle Regional Management Units (RMUs), and thus do not capture variations in population trends, impacts of threats, or necessary conservation actions across individual populations. To address this issue, we developed a new assessment framework that allowed us to evaluate, compare and organize marine turtle RMUs according to status and threats criteria. Because conservation priorities can vary widely (i.e. from avoiding imminent extinction to maintaining long-term monitoring efforts) we developed a "conservation priorities portfolio" system using categories of paired risk and threats scores for all RMUs (n = 58). We performed these assessments and rankings globally, by species, by ocean basin, and by recognized geopolitical bodies to identify patterns in risk, threats, and data gaps at different scales. This process resulted in characterization of risk and threats to all marine turtle RMUs, including identification of the world's 11 most endangered marine turtle RMUs based on highest risk and threats scores. This system also highlighted important gaps in available information that is crucial for accurate conservation assessments. Overall, this priority-setting framework can provide guidance for research and conservation priorities at multiple relevant scales, and should serve as a model for conservation status assessments and priority-setting for widespread, long-lived taxa.

TI Reversible Phase Transitions within Self-Assembled Fibrillar Networks of (R)-18-(n-Alkylamino)octadecan-7-ols in Their Carbon Tetrachloride Gels SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID ACTIVE 12-HYDROXYSTEARIC ACID; MASS ORGANIC GELATORS; 12-HYDROXYOCTADECANOIC ACID; ORGANOGEL FORMATION; MOLECULAR ORGANOGELS; CHIRAL MESOPHASES; SOLID-STATE; SOLVENT; ENANTIOMORPHISM; ENVIRONMENT AB The CCl4 gel phases of a series of low-molecular-mass organogelators, (R)-18-(n-alkylamino)octadecan-7-ols (HSN-n, where n = 0-5, 18 is the alkyl chain length), appear to be unprecedented in that the fibrillar networks of some of the homologues undergo thermally reversible, gel-to-gel phase transitions, and some of those transitions are evident as opaque-transparent changes in the appearance of the samples. The gels have been examined at different concentrations and temperatures by a wide variety of spectroscopic, diffraction, thermal, and rheological techniques. Analyses of those data and data from the neat gelators have led to an understanding of the source of the gel-to-gel transitions. IR and SANS data implicate the expulsion (on heating the lower-temperature gel) or the inclusion (on cooling the higher-temperature gel) of molecules of CCl4 that are interspersed between fibers in bundles. However, the root cause of the transitions is a consequence of changes in the molecular packing of the HSN-n within the fibers. This study offers opportunities to design new gelators that are capable of behaving in multiple fashions without entering the sol/solution phase, and it identifies a heretofore unknown transformation of organogels.

TI Molecular Packing of High-Mobility Diketo Pyrrolo-Pyrrole Polymer Semiconductors with Branched Alkyl Side Chains SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS; THIN-FILM TRANSISTORS; HIGH-PERFORMANCE; CHARGE-TRANSPORT; CARRIER MOBILITY; COPOLYMERS; POLY(3-ALKYLTHIOPHENES); MORPHOLOGY; TEXTURE; ORDER AB We describe a series of highly soluble diketo pyrrolo-pyrrole (DPP)-bithiophene copolymers exhibiting field effect hole mobilities up to 0.74 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), with a common synthetic motif of bulky 2-octyldodecyl side groups on the conjugated backbone. Spectroscopy, diffraction, and microscopy measurements reveal a transition in molecular packing behavior from a preferentially edge-on orientation of the conjugated plane to a preferentially face-on orientation as the attachment density of the side chains increases. Thermal annealing generally reduces both the face-on population and the misoriented edge-on domains. The highest hole mobilities of this series were obtained from edge-on molecular packing and in-plane liquid-crystalline texture, but films with a bimodal orientation distribution and no discernible in-plane texture exhibited surprisingly comparable mobilities. The high hole mobility may therefore arise from the molecular packing feature common to the entire polymer series: backbones that are strictly oriented parallel to the substrate plane and coplanar with other backbones in the same layer.

TI Magnetic excitations in the geometric frustrated multiferroic CuCrO2 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID FERROELECTRICITY; ANTIFERROMAGNET; DIFFRACTION AB In this paper detailed neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitation spectrum of CuCrO2 in the ordered state below T-N1 = 24.2 K are presented. The spectra are analyzed using a model Hamiltonian which includes intralayer exchange up to the next-next-nearest neighbor and interlayer exchange. We obtain a definite parameter set and show that exchange interaction terms beyond the next-nearest neighbor are important to describe the inelastic excitation spectrum. The magnetic ground state structure generated with our parameter set is in agreement with the structure proposed for CuCrO2 from the results of single crystal diffraction experiments previously published. We argue that the role of the interlayer exchange is crucial to understand the incommensurability of the magnetic structure as well as the spin-charge coupling mechanism.

TI Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and long lifetime of the spin state in the Cu-3 triangular spin cluster by inelastic neutron scattering measurements SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIZATION AB Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments have been performed on the Cu-3 triangular molecular nanomagnet using powder samples. In the medium resolution INS experiment, two peaks were observed at (h) over bar omega = 0.5 and 0.6 meV, whereas an additional excitation peak was detected at very low energy (h) over bar omega = 0.1 meV in the higher resolution experiment. A model Hamiltonian and its optimum interaction parameters were determined from the observed peak position, width, and intensity. A key ingredient of the model Hamiltonian is Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions as suggested in the earlier reports, which is now directly evidenced by the observation of the 0.1-meV peak, corresponding indeed to a splitting of ground-state quartet into two doublets. Temperature dependences of integrated intensity of the 0.5- and 0.6-meV peaks are well reproduced by the Boltzmann distribution function up to 10K, above which a small deviation was detected. Nevertheless, the inelastic peaks were visible even at very high temperatures as 50 K, indicating extraordinary weak coupling between spins and lattice vibrations (or any other perturbations) compared to the other known molecular nanomagnets.

TI Interfacial electronic and magnetic properties of a Y0.6Pr0.4Ba2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 superlattice SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-ABSORPTION; SUPERCONDUCTIVITY SUPPRESSION; SPECTROSCOPY; Y1-XPRXBA2CU3O7-DELTA; TRANSITION; OXIDES AB Resonant soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffuse neutron scattering were used to study the interfacial properties of Y0.6Pr0.4Ba2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/2MnO3 superlattices. Dramatic changes from the bulk in the spectral line shape, energy position, and linear-polarization dependence of the Cu L-3-edge reveal a striking interfacial modification. The similarities to the case without Pr substitution confirm the strongly hybridized covalent Cu-O-Mn bond as the underlying driving mechanism. On the other hand, relative differences, including reduced charge transfer and interfacial orbital reconstruction, are observed and attributed to raising of the Fermi level of the cuprate layer with Pr substitution. Neutron reflectometry reveals an oscillatory behavior in the rapidly increasing diffuse scattering with decreasing temperature. Temperature-and field-dependent measurements indicate that the origin is associated with the buckling caused by the structural phase transition of the SrTiO3 substrate rather than the superconducting or magnetic transition.

TI Absence of long-range magnetic ordering in the pyrochlore compound Er2Sn2O7 SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article ID ANTIFERROMAGNET; OXIDES AB The low temperature behaviour of powder Er2Sn2O7 samples has been studied by magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and neutron scattering experiments. We report here the absence of magnetic ordering down to 100 mK. Anomalies in the heat capacity can be accounted for through an analysis of the crystal field spectrum observed by inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy. These new measurements on Er2Sn2O7 suggest a new lower bound for the frustration index of f = vertical bar Theta(CW)vertical bar/T-N = 14/0.1 = 140, placing this compound into a highly frustrated regime.

TI Tropical stratospheric cloud climatology from the PATMOS-x dataset: An assessment of convective contributions to stratospheric water SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID VAPOR; TROPOPAUSE AB The PATMOS-x level 2b climatology, generated using three decades of AVHRR measurements, contains valuable information about the past global cloud record. We extract climatologies of tropical deep convective clouds from the PATMOS-x data set, based on the 10.30-11.30 mu m brightness temperature. A comparison of the cross tropopause convective cloud frequency between ISCCP and PATMOS-x shows that PATMOS-x has a greater frequency of occurrence than does the ISCCP, and this enhanced frequency is attributed to greater horizontal resolution (2 km) in the PATMOS-x data. The high resolution makes this dataset suitable for a search for cross tropopause convection, which happens on length scales down to 1 km. We find there have been several changes in deep convective activity over land during the period 1982 to 2009. We explore specifically the epoch of the HALOE satellite, and find a correlation between land deep convective activity and anomalies in the HALOE stratospheric water retrievals. A simple model is able to predict stratospheric water vapor concentrations highly correlated to that observed using only frequency of deep convection. From this we conclude that deep convection over land contributes to moistening of the lowest tropical stratosphere on seasonal, annual and decadal timescales. Citation: Nielsen, J. K., M.

A BEC at the center of the trap is split into two harmonics by a laser standing wave. The harmonics move in opposite directions with equal speeds and turn back under the influence of the trapping potential at their classical turning points. The harmonics are allowed to pass through each other and a recombination pulse is applied when they overlap at the end of a cycle after they return for the second time. We derive an expression for the contrast of the interferometric fringes and obtain the fundamental limit of performance of the interferometer in the parameter space.

The center-of-mass motion after a sudden tilt both at commensurate and incommensurate fillings is obtained via analytic, time-dependent exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization-group methods. We identify a maximum in the amplitude of the center-of-mass oscillations at the quantum critical point of the effective spin system. For the dynamics of incommensurate systems, which cannot be mapped to a spin model, we develop an analytical approach in which the time evolution is obtained by projecting onto resonant families of small clusters. We compare the results of this approach at low fillings to the exact time evolution and find good agreement even at filling factors as large as 2/3. Using this projection onto small clusters, we propose a controllable transport scheme applicable in the context of Atomtronic devices on optical lattices ("slinky scheme").

Demler, Eugene TI Relaxation of Fermionic Excitations in a Strongly Attractive Fermi Gas in an Optical Lattice SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID QUANTUM PHASE-TRANSITION; MOTT INSULATOR; ULTRACOLD; SUPERFLUID; DYNAMICS; SYSTEMS; ATOMS AB We theoretically study the relaxation of high energy single particle excitations into molecules in a system of attractive fermions in an optical lattice, both in the superfluid and the normal phase. In a system characterized by an interaction scale U and a tunneling rate t, we show that the relaxation rate scales as similar to Ct exp[-alpha U-2/t(2) ln(U/t)] in the large U/t limit. We obtain explicit expressions for the temperature and density dependent exponent alpha, both in the low temperature superfluid phase and the high temperature phase with pairing but no coherence between the molecules. We find that the relaxation rate decreases both with temperature and deviation of the fermion density from half filling. We show that quasiparticle and phase degrees of freedom are effectively decoupled within experimental time scales allowing for observation of ordered states even at high total energy of the system.

This cationic azobenzene surfactant, azoTAB, which undergoes a reversible photoisomerization upon exposure to the appropriate wavelength of light, adopts a relatively hydrophobic, trans structure under visible light illumination and a relatively hydrophilic cis structure under UV light illumination. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy were used to measure the tertiary structure and internal dynamics of lysozyme in the presence of the photosurfactant, respectively. The SANS-based in vitro structures indicate that under visible light the photosurfactant induces partial unfolding that principally occurs away from the active site near the hinge region connecting the alpha and beta domains. Upon UV exposure, however, the protein refolds to a nativelike structure. At the same time, enhanced internal dynamics of lysozyme were detected with the surfactant in the trans form through NSE measurements of the Q-dependent effective diffusion coefficient (D-eff) of the protein. In contrast, the D-eff values of lysozyme in the presence of cis azoTAB largely agree with the rigid-body calculation as well as those measured for pure lysozyme, suggesting that the native protein is dormant on the nanosecond time and nanometer length scales. Lysozyme internal motions were modeled by assuming a protein of two (alpha and beta domains) or three (alpha and beta domains and the hinge region) domains connects by either soft linkers or rigid, freely rotating bonds. Protein dynamics were also tracked with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy through hydrogen-deuterium exchange kinetics, which further demonstrated enhanced protein flexibility induced by the trans form of the surfactant relative to the native protein. Ensemble-averaged intramolecular fluorescent resonance energy transfer measurements similarly demonstrated the enhanced dynamics of lysozyme with the trans form of the photosurfactant. Previous results have shown a significant increase in protein activity in the presence of azoTAB in the trans conformation. Combined, these results provide insight into a unique light-based method of controlling protein structure, dynamics, and function and strongly support the relevance of large domain motions for the activity of proteins.

Green sturgeon population declines have preceded legal protection and curtailment of activities in marine environments deemed to increase its extinction risk. Yet, its marine habitat is poorly understood. We built a statistical model to characterize green sturgeon marine habitat using data from a coastal tracking array located along the Siletz Reef near Newport, Oregon, USA that recorded the passage of 37 acoustically tagged green sturgeon. We classified seafloor physical habitat features with high-resolution bathymetric and backscatter data. We then described the distribution of habitat components and their relationship to green sturgeon presence using ordination and subsequently used generalized linear model selection to identify important habitat components. Finally, we summarized depth and temperature recordings from seven green sturgeon present off the Oregon coast that were fitted with pop-off archival geolocation tags. Our analyses indicated that green sturgeon, on average, spent a longer duration in areas with high seafloor complexity, especially where a greater proportion of the substrate consists of boulders. Green sturgeon in marine habitats are primarily found at depths of 20-60 meters and from 9.5-16.0 degrees C. Many sturgeon in this study were likely migrating in a northward direction, moving deeper, and may have been using complex seafloor habitat because it coincides with the distribution of benthic prey taxa or provides refuge from predators. Identifying important green sturgeon marine habitat is an essential step towards accurately defining the conditions that are necessary for its survival and will eventually yield range-wide, spatially explicit predictions of green sturgeon distribution.

TI Statistical applications of physically based hydrologic models to seasonal streamflow forecasts SO WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID RIVER-BASIN; CLIMATE-CHANGE; UNITED-STATES; PREDICTION; SNOW; VARIABILITY; SIMULATION; SERVICE; SOIL AB Despite advances in physically based hydrologic models and prediction systems, long-standing statistical methods remain a fundamental component in most operational forecasts of seasonal streamflow. We develop a hybrid framework that employs gridded observed precipitation and model-simulated snow water equivalent (SWE) data as predictors in regression equations adapted from an operational forecasting environment. We test the modified approach using the semidistributed variable infiltration capacity hydrologic model in a case study of California's Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and Tulare Lake hydrologic regions. The approach employs a principal components regression methodology, adapted from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which leverages the ability of the distributed model to provide an added dimension to SWE predictors in a statistical framework. Hybrid forecasts based on data simulated at grid points acting as surrogates for ground-based observing stations are found to perform comparably to those based on their observed counterparts. When a larger selection of grid points are considered as potential predictors, hybrid forecasts achieve superior skill, with the largest benefits in watersheds that are poorly represented in terms of ground-based observations. Forecasts are also found to offer overall improvement over those officially issued by California's Department of Water Resources, although their specific performance in dry years is less consistent. The study demonstrates the utility of physically based models within an operational statistical framework, as well as the ability of the approach to identify locations with strong predictive skill for potential ground station implementation.

TI Selective Binding of O-2 over N-2 in a Redox-Active Metal-Organic Framework with Open Iron(II) Coordination Sites SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SIDE-ON BINDING; CARBON-DIOXIDE; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; GAS-ADSORPTION; HYDROGEN ADSORPTION; SWING ADSORPTION; DIOXYGEN ADDUCTS; HIGH-CAPACITY; END-ON; COMPLEX AB The air-free reaction between FeCl2 and H(4)dobdc (dobdc(4) = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) in a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol affords Fe-2(dobdc) . 4DMF, a metal-organic framework adopting the MOF-74 (or CPO-27) structure type. The desolvated form of this material displays a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 1360 m(2)/g and features a hexagonal array of one-dimensional channels lined with coordinatively unsaturated Fe-II centers. Gas adsorption isotherms at 298 K indicate that Fe2(dobdc) binds 02 preferentially over N-2, with an irreversible capacity of 9.3 wt %, corresponding to the adsorption of one 02 molecule per two iron centers. Remarkably, at 211 K, O-2 uptake is fully reversible and the capacity increases to 18.2 wt %, corresponding to the adsorption of one 02 molecule per iron center. Mossbauer and infrared spectra are consistent with partial charge transfer from iron(II) to O-2 at low temperature and complete charge transfer to form iron (III) and O-2(2-) at room temperature. The results of Rietveld analyses of powder neutron diffraction data (4 K) confirm this interpretation, revealing 02 bound to iron in a symmetric side-on mode with d(O-O) = 1.25(1) angstrom at low temperature and in a slipped side-on mode with d(O-O), = 1.6(1) angstrom when oxidized at room temperature. Application of ideal adsorbed solution theory in simulating breakthrough curves shows Fe-2(dobdc) to be a promising material for the separation of 02 from air at temperatures well above those currently employed in industrial settings.

The changing flux distribution results in a change in the optical axis of neutron beams, whose view is a fixed position within the reactor core. The changing optical axis results in two noticeable image artifacts: poor registration between images of a static object taken at different times and a change in the shape of the flat field intensity. These two effects were measured during the first four days of reactor operation. Both measurements show correlation with the reactor control mechanisms, with combined correlation coefficients during the first two days after reactor startup approaching 1. The change in the edge position is well below the image spatial resolution, and has more uncertainty associated with it. However, the change in the flat-field shape demonstrates a clear correlation with both shim arm angle and regulating rod position. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 [Hussey, D. S.; Jacobson, D.

Wang, Houjun TI Did the January 2009 sudden stratospheric warming cool or warm the thermosphere? SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ART.; MODEL AB It has recently been suggested that observations of neutral density from satellite accelerometer data indicate a strong cooling occurred in the upper thermosphere during the January 2009 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). The 2009 warming was a major event with winter polar stratospheric temperatures increasing by 70 K. This January period has been re-examined with three independent models: the NRLMSISE-00 empirical model; the physics-based coupled thermosphere, ionosphere, plasmasphere, electrodynamics model (CTIPe); and the whole atmosphere model (WAM). The analysis of this period and comparison with the neutral density observations reveals that there is, in fact, no evidence at any latitude for a large-scale or global decrease in upper thermosphere density or temperature in response to the SSW. The observed decrease in density and temperature can be amply accounted for by small changes in geomagnetic activity during this period. On the contrary, the WAM numerical simulations of the period suggest a possible small globally averaged upper thermosphere warming and neutral density increase by 5% during the SSW. This warming would have been difficult to discern in the local-time sampling of the CHAMP observations due to likely change in the diurnal density variation during the SSW, and due to a much larger contribution to the variability from geomagnetic sources. At this stage, therefore, it is not possible to ascertain if a cooling or warming occurred in the upper thermosphere in response to the stratospheric warming. Citation: Fuller-Rowell, T., R.

The extended multiple linear regression (eMLR) method assumes that baseline correlations and the resulting residual fields will remain constant with time even under the influence of secular climate changes. The validity of these assumptions over the 21st century is tested using a coupled carbon-climate model. Findings demonstrate that the influence of both changing climate and changing chemistry beyond 2-4 decades invalidates the assumption that the residual fields will remain constant resulting in significant errors in the eMLR estimate of C-anthro. This study determines that the eMLR method is unable to describe C-anthro uptake for a sampling interval of greater than 30 years if the error is to remain below 20% for many regions in the Southern Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean. These results suggest that, for many regions of the ocean basins, hydrographic field investigations have to be repeated at approximately decadal timescales in order to accurately predict the uptake of C-anthro by the ocean if the eMLR method is used.

TI The impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation on the uptake and accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 by North Atlantic Ocean mode waters SO GLOBAL BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES LA English DT Article ID GOVERNING INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; INORGANIC CARBON; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; CLIMATE VARIABILITY; DECADAL VARIABILITY; SUBPOLAR GYRE; SEA; SINK; CIRCULATION; MECHANISMS AB The North Atlantic Ocean accounts for about 25% of the global oceanic anthropogenic carbon sink. This basin experiences significant interannual variability primarily driven by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). A suite of biogeochemical model simulations is used to analyze the impact of interannual variability on the uptake and storage of contemporary and anthropogenic carbon (C-anthro) in the North Atlantic Ocean. Greater winter mixing during positive NAO years results in increased mode water formation and subsequent increases in subtropical and subpolar C-anthro inventories. Our analysis suggests that changes in mode water C-anthro inventories are primarily due to changes in water mass volumes driven by variations in water mass transformation rates rather than local air-sea CO2 exchange. This suggests that a significant portion of anthropogenic carbon found in the ocean interior may be derived from surface waters advected into water formation regions rather than from local gas exchange. Therefore, changes in climate modes, such as the NAO, may alter the residence time of anthropogenic carbon in the ocean by altering the rate of water mass transformation. In addition, interannual variability in C-anthro storage increases the difficulty of C-anthro detection and attribution through hydrographic observations, which are limited by sparse sampling of subsurface waters in time and space.

Disparate sympatric types are found in the North Atlantic, Antarctic and North Pacific oceans, however, little is known about the underlying mechanisms driving divergence. Previous phylogeographic analysis using complete mitogenomes yielded a bifurcating tree of clades corresponding to described ecotypes. However, there was low support at two nodes at which two Pacific and two Atlantic clades diverged. Here we apply further phylogenetic and coalescent analyses to partitioned mitochondrial genome sequences to better resolve the pattern of past radiations in this species. Our phylogenetic reconstructions indicate that in the North Pacific, sympatry between the maternal lineages that make up each ecotype arises from secondary contact. Both the phylogenetic reconstructions and a clinal decrease in diversity suggest a North Pacific to North Atlantic founding event, and the later return of killer whales to the North Pacific. Therefore, ecological divergence could have occurred during the allopatric phase through drift or selection and/or may have either commenced or have been consolidated upon secondary contact due to resource competition. The estimated timing of bidirectional migration between the North Pacific and North Atlantic coincided with the previous inter-glacial when the leakage of fauna from the Indo-Pacific into the Atlantic via the Agulhas current was particularly vigorous.

TI Role of channel and floodplain cross-section geometry in the basin response SO WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID INSTANTANEOUS UNIT-HYDROGRAPH; HYDRAULIC-GEOMETRY; KINEMATIC DISPERSION; HYDROLOGIC RESPONSE; GEOMORPHOLOGICAL DISPERSION; NATURAL CATCHMENTS; CARRYING-CAPACITY; STREAM NETWORKS; RIVER NETWORKS; MODEL 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. C1 [Mejia, A. I.; Reed, S.

TI Affinity maturation of human CD4 by yeast surface display and crystal structure of a CD4-HLA-DR1 complex SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID T-CELL-RECEPTOR; PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERFACES; BINDING; RECOGNITION; TOLERANCE; MOLECULE; FRAGMENT; ANTIBODY; DISTINCT; LIGAND AB Helper T-cell activation generally requires the coreceptor CD4, which binds MHC class II molecules. A remarkable feature of the CD4-MHC class II interaction is its exceptionally low affinity, which ranges from K-D = similar to 200 mu M to > 2 mM. Investigating the biological role of the much lower affinity of this interaction than those of other cell-cell recognition molecules will require CD4 mutants with enhanced binding to MHC class II for testing in models of T-cell development. To this end, we used in vitro-directed evolution to increase the affinity of human CD4 for HLA-DR1. A mutant CD4 library was displayed on the surface of yeast and selected using HLA-DR1 tetramers or monomers, resulting in isolation of a CD4 clone containing 11 mutations. Reversion mutagenesis showed that most of the affinity increase derived from just two substitutions, Gln40Tyr and Thr45Trp. A CD4 variant bearing these mutations bound HLA-DR1 with K-D = 8.8 mu M, compared with > 400 mu M for wild-type CD4. To understand the basis for improved affinity, we determined the structure of this CD4 variant in complex with HLA-DR1 to 2.4 angstrom resolution. The structure provides an atomic-level description of the CD4-binding site on MHC class II and reveals how CD4 recognizes highly polymorphic HLA-DR, -DP, and -DQ molecules by targeting invariant residues in their alpha 2 and beta 2 domains. In addition, the CD4 mutants reported here constitute unique tools for probing the influence of CD4 affinity on T-cell activation and development.

TI THE ATACAMA COSMOLOGY TELESCOPE: COSMOLOGICAL PARAMETERS FROM THE 2008 POWER SPECTRUM SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmic background radiation; cosmological parameters; cosmology: observations ID PROBE WMAP OBSERVATIONS; MICROWAVE BACKGROUND ANISOTROPIES; PRIMORDIAL HELIUM ABUNDANCE; BIG-BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS; MASSIVE GALAXY CLUSTERS; STAR-FORMING GALAXIES; SOUTH-POLE TELESCOPE; INFLATIONARY UNIVERSE; HUBBLE CONSTANT; OBSERVED GROWTH AB We present cosmological parameters derived from the angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation observed at 148 GHz and 218 GHz over 296 deg(2) with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) during its 2008 season. ACT measures fluctuations at scales 500 < l < 10,000. We fit a model for the lensed CMB, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ), and foreground contribution to the 148 GHz and 218 GHz power spectra, including thermal and kinetic SZ, Poisson power from radio and infrared point sources, and clustered power from infrared point sources. At l = 3000, about half the power at 148 GHz comes from primary CMB after masking bright radio sources. The power from thermal and kinetic SZ is estimated to be B-3000 = 6.8 +/- 2.9 mu K-2, where B-l = l (l + 1) C-l/2 pi. The IR Poisson power at 148 GHz is B-3000 = 7.8 +/- 0.7 mu K-2 (Cl = 5.5 +/- 0.5 nK(2)), and a clustered IR component is required with B-3000 = 4.6 +/- 0.9 mu K-2, assuming an analytic model for its power spectrum shape. At 218 GHz only about 15% of the power, approximately 27 mu K-2, is CMB anisotropy at l = 3000. The remaining 85% is attributed to IR sources (approximately 50% Poisson and 35% clustered), with spectral index alpha = 3.69 +/- 0.14 for flux scaling as S(v) proportional to v(alpha). We estimate primary cosmological parameters from the less contaminated 148 GHz spectrum, marginalizing over SZ and source power. The Lambda CDM cosmological model is a good fit to the data (chi(2)/dof = 29/46), and Lambda CDM parameters estimated from ACT+Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) are consistent with the seven-year WMAP limits, with scale invariant ns = 1 excluded at 99.7% confidence level (CL) (3 sigma). A model with no CMB lensing is disfavored at 2.8 sigma. By measuring the third to seventh acoustic peaks, and probing the Silk damping regime, the ACT data improve limits on cosmological parameters that affect the small-scale CMB power. The ACT data combined with WMAP give a 6 sigma detection of primordial helium, with Y-P = 0.313 +/- 0.044, and a 4 sigma detection of relativistic species, assumed to be neutrinos, with N-eff = 5.3 +/- 1.3 (4.6 +/- 0.8 with BAO+H-0 data). From the CMB alone the running of the spectral index is constrained to be dn(s)/d ln k = - 0.034 +/- 0.018, the limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio is r < 0.25 (95% CL), and the possible contribution of Nambu cosmic strings to the power spectrum is constrained to string tension G mu < 1.6 x 10(-7) ( 95% CL).

In this approach, an optical fiber taper waveguide is placed in contact with a suspended GaAs nanophotonic waveguide with embedded quantum dots, forming a broadband directional coupler with standard optical fiber input and output. Efficient photoluminescence collection over a wavelength range of tens of nanometers is demonstrated, and a maximum collection efficiency of 6% (corresponding single photon rate of 3.0 MHz) into a single mode optical fiber is estimated for a single quantum dot exciton.

The results demonstrate that the performance of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) coupled data assimilation (CDA) model is quite different between the two periods, 1979-2002 and 2003-2007, due to the assimilation of Argo data in later period. The MOC components from the GFDL CDA during 1979-2002 are similar to those from GFDL CM2.1 IPCC simulation, both give weak boundary currents and strong interior overturning transport compared to observations. However, after assimilating temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo floats, the performance of the GFDL CDA is greatly improved in terms of representing the observed MOC and MHT structure: the transports of boundary currents are twice as strong as those during pre-Argo period, and the overturning flow in the interior region is reduced. Possible causes for the changes in model performance are discussed. Citation: Dong, S., M. Baringer, G. Goni, and S.

In order to isolate the responses of air pollutant transport and wet removal to a warming climate, we examine a simple carbon monoxide-like (CO) tracer (COt) and a soluble version (SAt), both with the 2001 CO emissions, in simulations with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory chemistry-climate model (AM3) for present (1981-2000) and future (2081-2100) climates. In 2081-2100, projected reductions in lower-tropospheric ventilation and wet deposition exacerbate surface air pollution as evidenced by higher surface COt and SAt concentrations. However, the average horizontal general circulation patterns in 2081-2100 are similar to 1981-2000, so the spatial distribution of COt changes little. Precipitation is an important factor controlling soluble pollutant wet removal, but the total global precipitation change alone does not necessarily indicate the sign of the soluble pollutant response to climate change. Over certain latitudinal bands, however, the annual wet deposition change can be explained mainly by the simulated changes in large-scale (LS) precipitation. In regions such as North America, differences in the seasonality of LS precipitation and tracer burdens contribute to an apparent inconsistency of changes in annual wet deposition versus annual precipitation. As a step toward an ultimate goal of developing a simple index that can be applied to infer changes in soluble pollutants directly from changes in precipitation fields as projected by physical climate models, we explore here a "Diagnosed Precipitation Impact" (DPI) index. This index captures the sign and magnitude (within 50%) of the relative annual mean changes in the global wet deposition of the soluble pollutant. DPI can only be usefully applied in climate models in which LS precipitation dominates wet deposition and horizontal transport patterns change little as climate warms. Our findings support the need for tighter emission regulations, for both soluble and insoluble pollutants, to obtain a desired level of air quality as climate warms.

TI Unique event plumes from a 2008 eruption on the Northeast Lau Spreading Center SO GEOCHEMISTRY GEOPHYSICS GEOSYSTEMS LA English DT Article DE Lau Basin; event plumes; hydrothermal venting; seafloor eruption ID DE-FUCA-RIDGE; EAST PACIFIC RISE; SUBMARINE LAVA FLOWS; HYDROTHERMAL PLUMES; GORDA RIDGE; MIDOCEAN RIDGES; AXIAL VOLCANO; HE-3/HEAT RATIOS; CLEFT SEGMENT; SEA AB The creation of ocean crust by lava eruptions is a fundamental Earth process, involving immediate and immense transfers of heat and chemicals from crust to ocean. This transfer creates event plumes ("megaplumes"), massive ellipsoidal eddies with distinctive and consistent chemical signatures. Here we report the discovery of unique event plumes associated with a 2008 eruption on the Northeast Lau Spreading Center. Instead of a large plume hundreds of meters thick, we detected at least eight individual plumes, each similar to 50 m thick and apparently only 1-3 km in diameter, yet still rising 200-1000 m above the eruption site. Low and uniform (3)He/heat (0.041 x 10(-17) mol/J) and dissolved Mn/heat (0.04 nmol/J) ratios in water samples were diagnostic of event plumes. High H(2) concentrations (up to 9123 nM) and basalt shards confirmed extensive interactions between molten lava and event plume source fluids. Remote vehicle observations in 2009 mapped a new, small (1.5-5.8 x 10(6) m(3)) lava flow. Our results suggest that event plumes are more variable, and thus perhaps more common, than previously recognized. Small event plumes may be preferentially associated with small or sheet-flow eruptions, and massive event plumes with slowly extruding pillow mounds 25-75 m thick. Despite this correlation, and high H(2) concentrations, existing theory and seafloor observations argue that cooling lava cannot transfer heat fast enough to create the buoyancy flux required for event plumes. The creation of event plumes under a broad range of eruption conditions provides new constraints for any theory of their formation. Components: 12,000 words, 12 figures, 2 tables.

TI Electron beam synthesis of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles using metal-organic frameworks as ordered precursors SO NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INDUCED DEPOSITION; INDIUM; SIZE; IRRADIATION; STABILITY; POLYMERS; GROWTH; IONS AB We demonstrate a versatile, bottom-up method of forming metal and semiconducting nanoparticles by exposing precursor metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to an electron beam. Using a transmission electron microscope to initiate and observe growth, we show that the composition, size, and morphology of the nanoparticles are determined by the chemistry and structure of the MOF, as well as the electron beam properties. Zinc oxide, metallic indium and copper particles were produced with narrow and tunable size distributions comparable to those obtained from state-of-the-art methods. This method represents a first step toward the fabrication of nanoscale heterostructures using the highly controlled environment of the MOF pores as a scaffold or template.

The isotopedilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID LC-MS/MS) methodology is based on the use of multiple-reaction monitoring of tryptic peptide fragments derived from protein antigens. A panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) was evaluated based on a quantitative determination of relative binding affinity to human cardiac troponin I following immunoprecipitation. Dissociation constants (K-d) were determined for 'bound mAb-antigen' vs. 'unbound antigen' using non-linear regression analysis. Relative quantification of both antigen and antibody was based on the use of stable isotope-labeled synthetic peptides as internal standards. Optimal 'capture' mAbs were determined through evaluation of relative K-d constants of all monitored peptide transitions. A panel of six pre-screened candidate capture mAbs was concluded to consist of two subsets of mAbs, each with statistically equivalent K-d constants as determined using NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2921 - Human Cardiac Troponin Complex. This ID LC-MS/MS method is shown to be capable of quantitatively differentiating mAbs based on relative binding affinities. Selection of optimal capture mAbs can be applied toward a number of analytical applications which require metrological traceability and unbiased quantification. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The INS method is uniquely capable of revealing the state of the hydrogen (either the atomic or molecular form). The INS result shows a direct quantitative evaluation of the amount of hydrogen adsorbed on AC in an atomic form via spillover. Two Pt/AC samples with different spillover effects were studied herein. The spillover behavior related to dissociation, diffusion, and adsorption of hydrogen in the Pt/AC samples at the temperature cycling from 4 up to 300 K was investigated by this INS study. The present study proposes the concept of diffusion length and hydrogen-rich domain around a Pt cluster center in this system based on INS data.

TI 5 MHz phase detector with low residual flicker SO ELECTRONICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID NOISE AB The measurement of close-to-carrier phase modulation (PM) noise of state-of-the-art oscillators is always challenging. Quite often the residual noise of the phase detector used in these measurements is higher than the noise of the source at Fourier offset frequencies between 5 and 100 Hz. A conventional double balanced mixer using 2N2222A transistors as the nonlinear components of a diode ring was constructed for use as a phase detector. Residual single-sideband PM noise measurements at 5 MHz for this device have shown a low flicker noise floor of L(10 Hz) = -2163 dBc/Hz. When this mixer design is implemented in a dual-channel measurement system, a cross-correlated PM noise floor of better than L(10 Hz) = 2170 dBc/Hz is expected. C1 [Barnes, C.

The model features long-range spin-spin interactions J(z) and J(perpendicular to) of XXZ type, long-range density-density interaction V, and long-range density-spin interaction W, all of which can be controlled in both magnitude and sign independently of each other and of the tunneling t. The "spin" is encoded in the rotational degree of freedom of the molecules, while the interactions are controlled by applied static electric and continuous-wave microwave fields. Furthermore, we show that nuclear spins of the molecules can be used to implement an additional ( orbital) degree of freedom that is coupled to the original rotational degree of freedom in a tunable way. The presented system is expected to exhibit exotic physics and to provide insights into strongly correlated phenomena in condensed-matter systems. Realistic experimental imperfections are discussed.

Cao, Hui TI Lasing modes in polycrystalline and amorphous photonic structures SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID MICROCAVITY LASERS; DISORDERED-SYSTEMS; CRYSTALS; ORDER AB We systematically studied the lasing characteristics in photonic polycrystalline and amorphous structures. 2D arrays of air holes were fabricated in a GaAs membrane. InAs quantum dots embedded in the membrane provide gain for lasing under optical pumping. The lasing modes are spatially localized, and blue shift as the structural order becomes short ranged. Our three-dimensional numerical simulations reveal that the out-of-plane leakage of the lasing mode dominates over the in-plane leakage. The lasing modes in a photonic polycrystalline move away from the center frequency of the photonic band gap to reduce the out-of-plane leakage. In a photonic amorphous structure, the short-range order improves optical confinement and enhances the quality factor of resonances. Understanding the behavior of photonic polycrystalline laser and amorphous laser opens the possibility of controlling lasing characteristic by varying the degree of structural order.

The appearance of diamondlike domains with strong lateral charges and of weak-stripe structures reveals the presence of both a transverse and a perpendicular anisotropy in these nanostructures. The anisotropy is seen to reinforce as temperature decreases, as testified by observations performed at 150 K. A thermal stress model with relaxation is proposed to account for these observations. Elastic calculations coupled to micromagnetic simulations support qualitatively this model.

Material was desorbed and directly ionized under atmospheric conditions by allowing the substance to come in direct contact with the plasma followed by mass spectrometric detection. With this technique, controlled substances and OTC medications were readily distinguished from one another. Characteristic mass spectra were identified for the active ingredients in the OTC and drugs of abuse. Importantly, all drug compounds studied here, both OTC and illicit, demonstrated signals for either molecular ions or protonated molecules as well as fragmentation patterns that are readily identified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) electron ionization (EI) mass spectral library. It is believed that this technique holds promise for forensic and law enforcement communities for real-time atmospheric analysis of drugs with database-searchable spectra of controlled substances.

To isolate the factors that control ice/liquid partitioning during the ascent of an air parcel, we apply an adiabatic parcel model that includes ice nucleation by deposition and immersion freezing and ice habit evolution. Simulations are performed for two different temperature regimes that resemble those observed during the Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (-13 degrees C < T < -9 degrees C) and the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (-22 degrees C < T < -17 degrees C). Effects on ice and liquid water evolution in an updraft are explored as a function of ice nucleus (IN) concentration and nucleation mode, updraft velocity, properties of cloud condensation nuclei, and assumption about ice particle shape (habit). For most conditions, ice and liquid coexist and increase simultaneously, and only at high IN concentrations or low updraft velocities do ice particles grow at the expense of droplets. The impact of the ice nucleation mode on ice/liquid distribution depends on the temperature and supersaturation regime. The assumption of spherical ice particles instead of nonspherical habits leads to an underestimate of ice growth. It is concluded that updraft velocity, IN concentrations, and particle shape can impact ice/liquid distribution to similar extents.

Several heteronuclear bound states have been found for the excited (170)Yb(174)Yb and (174)Yb(176)Yb molecules. We develop a single-channel mass-scaled interaction model for the excited state molecule which well reproduces the measured bound state energies. This is an important step toward optical control of interactions in mixtures of ultracold ytterbium gases using heteronuclear optical Feshbach resonances. The model developed is applicable in collisions of other similar systems, such as cadmium and mercury.

The Be-9(+) ion is trapped above a microfabricated surface-electrode ion trap and is manipulated with microwaves applied to a trap electrode. The achievement of low single-qubit-gate errors is an essential step toward the construction of a scalable quantum computer. C1 [Brown, K. R.; Wilson, A. C.; Colombe, Y.; Ospelkaus, C.; Meier, A.

TI Universality of the Three-Body Parameter for Efimov States in Ultracold Cesium SO PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ATOMS; SCATTERING; SYSTEM AB We report on the observation of triatomic Efimov resonances in an ultracold gas of cesium atoms. Exploiting the wide tunability of interactions resulting from three broad Feshbach resonances in the same spin channel, we measure magnetic-field dependent three-body recombination loss. The positions of the loss resonances yield corresponding values for the three-body parameter, which in universal few-body physics is required to describe three-body phenomena and, in particular, to fix the spectrum of Efimov states. Our observations show a robust universal behavior with a three-body parameter that stays essentially constant.

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) x 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 m(2)/g at 405 and 532 nm respectively. These results help constrain the properties of BC emissions associated with DWH and other large spills. Citation: Perring, A. E., et al.

TI Characterization of deep-levels in silicon nanowires by low-frequency noise spectroscopy SO APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS LA English DT Article AB We have used low-frequency noise (LFN) spectroscopy to characterize generation-recombination (G-R) centers in silicon nanowires grown using chemical vapor deposition. The LFN spectra showed Lorentzian behavior with well-defined corner-frequency indicative of single G-R center in the bandgap. From the temperature-dependent LFN measurement a single deep level at 0.39 eV from the bandedge is identified, which matches closely with the Au donor level in Si. The trap concentration was estimated at 2.0 x 10(12) cm(-3) with electron and hole capture cross-sections of 9.5 x 10(-17) cm(2) and 1.4 x 10(-16) cm(2), respectively. This study demonstrates the potential of the LFN spectroscopy in characterization of deep-levels in nanowires. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.

Octave-spanning spectra are produced in nonlinear microstructured optical fiber, in spite of the reduced peak power associated with the 10 GHz repetition rate. Improved stability of the broadened spectrum is obtained by temperature-stabilization of the nonlinear optical fiber. The carrier-envelope offset frequency and the repetition rate are simultaneously frequency stabilized, and their short-and long-term stabilities are characterized. We also measure the transfer of amplitude noise of the pump source to phase noise on the offset frequency and verify an increased sensitivity of the offset frequency to pump power modulation compared to systems with lower repetition rate. Finally, we discuss merits of this 10 GHz system for the generation of low-phase-noise microwaves from the photodetected pulse train.

With averaging, the precision drops below 1 mu m at 0.8 ms and below 200 nm at 20 ms. The system can measure the distance to multiple targets with negligible dead zones and a ranging ambiguity of 1 meter. The system is much simpler than a previous coherent dual-comb LIDAR because the two combs are replaced by free-running, saturable-absorber-based femtosecond Er fiber lasers, rather than tightly phase-locked combs, with the entire time base provided by a single 10-digit frequency counter. Despite the simpler design, the system provides a factor of three improved performance over the previous coherent dual comb LIDAR system.

For the insulating RbyFe1.6+ xSe2, neutron polarization analysis and single-crystal neutron diffraction unambiguously confirm the earlier proposed root 5 x root 5 block antiferromagnetic structure. For superconducting samples (T-c = 30 K), we find that in addition to the tetragonal root 5 x root 5 superlattice structure transition at 513 K, the material develops a separate root 2 x root 2 superlattice structure at a lower temperature of 480 K. These results suggest that superconducting RbyFe1.6+xSe2 is phase separated with coexisting root 2 x root 2 and root 5 x root 5 superlattice structures. C1 [Wang, Meng; Li, G. N.; Li, C. H.; Chen, Y.

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.

Organic acid concentrations ranged from a few parts per trillion by volume (pptv) to several parts per billion by volume (ppbv), with the largest concentrations observed for formic and propionic acids. Photochemically processed urban emissions transported from Los Angeles were frequently sampled during the day. Analysis of transported emissions demonstrates a strong correlation of organic acid concentrations with both nitric acid and odd oxygen (O-x = O-3 + NO2) showing that the organic acids are photochemically and rapidly produced from urban emissions.

TI Formation and growth of organic aerosols downwind of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERIC PARTICLES; EVENTS; RATES; URBAN AB Aerosol size distributions were measured in June 2010 downwind of the surface oil slick produced by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. 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 similar to 3 cm(-3) s(-1) and subsequently grew by condensation at a rate of similar to 20 nm hr(-1); preexisting accumulation mode particles grew by similar to 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 similar to 0.04-0.09 mu g m(-3) (similar to 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.

TI Challenges in estimating trends in Arctic surface-based inversions from radiosonde data SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID SEA-ICE; TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS; BOUNDARY-LAYER; WINTER; AMPLIFICATION AB Because of potential connections between changes in the characteristics of surface-based inversions (SBIs) and other Arctic climate trends, and because of the availability of radiosonde observations from the 1950s to present, one might seek to investigate Arctic SBI trends using radiosonde data. However, changes in observational methods, particularly those affecting sounding vertical resolution, introduce artificial changes in radiosonde representations of SBIs that degrade trend estimates. SBI intensity and depth data are particularly sensitive to this problem, but frequency of SBI occurrence is more robust. Most previous investigations of Arctic SBI trends have erroneously neglected or dismissed this issue. Based on SBI data from the few Arctic stations with homogeneous records during 1990-2009, most trends are not statistically significant, and no clear patterns of SBI change emerge. Among the significant trends, we find SBI intensity trends are positively associated with SBI depth trends, but negatively correlated with the surface temperature trends. Citation: Zhang, Y., and D.

In the reanalysis, the observed CO2 concentration and the volcanic aerosols were also prescribed. This paper provides an initial overview of the tropospheric variability in the CFSR by comparing it against available previous reanalyses. CFSR's monthly mean zonal and meridional component of wind U and V, temperature T, and geopotential height H at pressure levels up to 100 mb are compared against those of three other readily available reanalyses NCEP/R1, NCEP/R2 and ERA40 for the period from 1979 to 2008 (2002 for ERA40) and also against modern reanalyses such as JRA, MERRA, and C20. At any given time (analysis hour, day, or month), for the globe as a whole, CFSR analysis agrees reasonably well with the other reanalyses. The CFSR's new coupled model and assimilation system makes use of the recent advances in these areas and hence is possibly an improvement to NCEP's previous reanalyses R1 and R2, which are 15 and 10 years old, respectively. For these long-term climate variability measures the analysis indicates that the CFSR was generally the outlier, with much stronger easterly trades, cooler tropospheric temperatures, and lower geopotential heights during much of the earlier part of the analysis period (1979-similar to 1998). Consequently, real-time monitoring of many of the ENSO-related climate wind indices in the equatorial Pacific or the wind shear index in the tropical North Atlantic from CFSR may be problematic in the context of historical variability.

TI Impact of CO2 measurement bias on CarbonTracker surface flux estimates SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID CARBON-DIOXIDE EXCHANGE; TALL TOWER; MODEL TM5; ATMOSPHERIC CO2; INVERSIONS; SCALE; AIR AB For over 20 years, atmospheric measurements of CO2 dry air mole fractions have been used to derive estimates of CO2 surface fluxes. Historically, only a few research laboratories made these measurements. Today, many laboratories are making CO2 observations using a variety of analysis techniques and, in some instances, using different calibration scales. As a result, the risk of biases in individual CO2 mole fraction records, or even in complete monitoring networks, has increased over the last decades. Ongoing experiments comparing independent, well-calibrated measurements of atmospheric CO2 show that biases can and do exist between measurement records. Biases in measurements create artificial spatial and temporal CO2 gradients, which are then interpreted by an inversion system, leading to erroneous flux estimates. Here we evaluate the impact of a constant bias introduced into the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) quasi-continuous measurement record at the Park Falls, Wisconsin (LEF), tall tower site on CarbonTracker flux estimates. We derive a linear relationship between the magnitude of the introduced bias at LEF and the CarbonTracker surface flux responses. Temperate North American net flux estimates are most sensitive to a bias at LEF in our CarbonTracker inversion, and its linear response rate is 68 Tg C yr(-1) (similar to 10% of the estimated North American annual terrestrial uptake) for every 1 ppm of bias in the LEF record. This sensitivity increases when (1) measurement biases approached assumed model errors and (2) fewer other measurement records are available to anchor the flux estimates despite the presence of bias in one record. Flux estimate errors are also calculated beyond North America. For example, biospheric uptake in Europe and boreal Eurasia combined increases by 25 Tg C yr(-1) per ppm CO2 to partially compensate for changes in the North American flux totals. These results illustrate the importance of well-calibrated, high-precision CO2 dry air mole fraction measurements, as well as the value of an effective strategy for detecting bias in measurements. This study stresses the need for a monitoring network with the necessary density to anchor regional, continental, and hemispheric fluxes more tightly and to lessen the impact of potentially undetected biases in observational networks operated by different national and international research programs.

TI Magnetic structure and electric field effects in multiferroic YMn2O5 SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID X-RAY-DIFFRACTION; PHASE-TRANSITIONS; POLARIZATION; FERROELECTRICITY; DOMAINS AB The magnetic structure of multiferroic RMn2O5 (R = Y, Er) has been investigated by means of resonant soft x-ray diffraction. Energy, temperature, and azimuthal angle scans were performed in addition to reciprocal space maps on the magnetic reflection in the different magnetic phases of YMn2O5. We also investigated the orbital magnetic moment at the oxygen K-edge for RMn2O5 with both, R = Y and R = Er compositions. These moments reflect the strong hybridization between Mn 3d and oxygen 2p states. Experiments with applied electric fields are additionally presented, showing that the helical component of the magnetic structure in the CM phase of YMn2O5 can be reversed by the application of an electric field. However, the incommensurate magnetic reflection in the high-temperature phase is unaffected. Interestingly, this is observed only in the presence of a small electrical current, indicative of a current-induced/-enhanced switching of magnetic domains. C1 [de Souza, R.

SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID MERIDIONAL OVERTURNING CIRCULATION; THERMOHALINE CIRCULATION; CLIMATE-CHANGE; AGULHAS LEAKAGE; NORTH-ATLANTIC; WORLDS OCEANS; TEMPERATURE; VARIABILITY AB As the upper layer of the world ocean warms gradually during the 20th century, the inter-ocean heat transport from the Indian to Atlantic basin should be enhanced, and the Atlantic Ocean should therefore gain extra heat due to the increased upper ocean temperature of the inflow via the Agulhas leakage. Consistent with this hypothesis, instrumental records indicate that the Atlantic Ocean has warmed substantially more than any other ocean basin since the mid-20th century. A surface-forced global ocean-ice coupled model is used to test this hypothesis and to find that the observed warming trend of the Atlantic Ocean since the 1950s is largely due to an increase in the inter-ocean heat transport from the Indian Ocean. Further analysis reveals that the increased inter-ocean heat transport is not only caused by the increased upper ocean temperature of the inflow but also, and more strongly, by the increased Agulhas Current leakage, which is augmented by the strengthening of the wind stress curl over the South Atlantic and Indian subtropical gyre.

TI Feasibility of using radar differential Doppler velocity and dual-frequency ratio for sizing particles in thick ice clouds SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID LIQUID WATER-CONTENT; MICROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES; WAVELENGTH RADAR; REFLECTIVITY MEASUREMENTS; TERMINAL VELOCITIES; X-BAND; SIZE; RETRIEVAL; CRYSTALS; LIDAR AB Measurements from ground-based collocated K-a- and W-band vertically pointing Doppler radars were used to evaluate the differential Doppler velocity (DDV) approach for retrieving a size parameter of the aggregate particle distributions in ice clouds. This approach was compared to a more traditional method based on the dual-frequency reflectivity ratio (DFR) using case study observations in different clouds. Because of measurement errors and other uncertainties, meaningful DDV-based retrievals were generally available for the size slope parameter interval of 9 cm(-1) < Lambda < 25 cm(-1). The DFR were generally available for particle populations with Lambda up to about 45 cm(-1). Expected retrieval errors in the Lambda interval between 9 cm(-1) and 25 cm(-1) were about 40% for the DFR-based estimates and about a factor of 2 larger for the DDV method. Errors increase for noisier measurements. Comparisons of the DDV- and DFR- inferred values of Lambda when both retrievals were available revealed their general consistency with a relative standard deviation between results being within retrieval uncertainties. While the DFR approach appears to be more accurate, it requires a 0 dB constraint near cloud tops, which mitigates uncertainties in absolute radar calibrations and differing attenuation paths. The DDV approach generally does not require such a constraint if radar beams are perfectly aligned in vertical (which might not be exactly a case during some observations). Given this, DDV measurements may potentially allow ice particle sizing in situations when DFR constraining is not effective or available (e.g., in precipitating clouds and in clouds with substantial amounts of supercooled water).

For satellite observations, especially observations with clouds, it affects collocation of measurements from different platforms. In this study, we investigate how the parallax problem affects the collocation of CloudSat and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations of tropical convective clouds by examining the impact of parallax correction on statistics of convective cloud properties such as cloud top temperature (CTT) and buoyancy. Previous studies circumvented the parallax problem by imposing a "flat-top" condition on the selection of convective clouds, but it inadvertently biases the statistics toward convections at mature or dissipating stages when convective plumes cease to grow but flatten out to form cirrus anvils. The main findings of this study are the following: (1) Parallax correction reduces CTT of convective clouds; the magnitude of the reduction increases with cloud top height (CTH). (2) Parallax correction also reduces the spread of CTT estimates, making it more closely clustered around the corresponding CTH. (3) The fraction of convection with positive buoyancy decreases after the parallax correction. All these changes that are due to parallax correction are most pronounced for convections above 10-12 km, highlighting the importance of parallax correction in satellite-based study of deep convection. With parallax correction applied, we further examine the contrast in convective cloud buoyancy between land and ocean and day and night and the dependence on convective cloud size; results are consistent with our general understanding of tropical convection.

TI Near-ground-state transport of trapped-ion qubits through a multidimensional array SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID QUANTUM COMPUTER; ATOMIC IONS; PAUL TRAP; MANIPULATION; ARCHITECTURE; SEPARATION AB We have demonstrated transport of (9)Be(+) ions through a two-dimensional Paul-trap array that incorporates an X junction, while maintaining the ions near the motional ground state of the confining potential well. We expand on the first report of the experiment in Blakestad et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 153002 ( 2009)], including a detailed discussion of how the transport potentials were calculated. Two main mechanisms that caused motional excitation during transport are explained, along with the methods used to mitigate such excitation. We reduced the motional excitation below the results in the above reference by a factor of approximately 50. The effect of a mu-metal shield on qubit coherence is also reported. Finally, we examined a method for exchanging energy between multiple motional modes on the few-quanta level, which could be useful for cooling motional modes without directly accessing the modes with lasers. These results establish how trapped ions can be transported in a large-scale quantum processor with high fidelity. C1 [Blakestad, R. B.; Ospelkaus, C.; VanDevender, A. P.; Wesenberg, J.

In addition to XXZ spin exchange, the model features density-density interactions and density-spin interactions; all interactions are dipolar. We show that full control of all interaction parameters in both magnitude and sign can be achieved independently of each other and of the tunneling. As a first step towards demonstrating the potential of the system, we apply the density matrix renormalization group method to obtain the 1D phase diagram of the simplest experimentally realizable case. Specifically, we show that the tunability and the long-range nature of the interactions in the t-J-V-W model enable enhanced superfluidity. Finally, we show that Bloch oscillations in a tilted lattice can be used to probe the phase diagram experimentally. C1 [Gorshkov, Alexey V.] CALTECH, Inst Quantum Informat, Pasadena, CA 91125 USA.

The SSS pattern during different stages of the MJO propagation across the Indian Ocean are analyzed conditioned on season and phase of the El Nino - Southern Oscillation. The processes through which the SSS patterns develop depend upon anomalous atmospheric conditions and oceanic processes during the different stages of the MJO. The combinations of anomalous conditions during each stage of the MJO with seasonal and long-term climate variations create different responses in SSS. The SSS variability during the MJO may produce numerous indirect feedbacks, which are the result of SSS altering the depth of the Barrier Layer (BL) and mixed layer. Satellite salinity measurements will enhance our knowledge of the SSS variability during different stages of the MJO propagation. Citation: Grunseich, G., B. Subrahmanyam, and A.

The tunneling peaks persist between 4 K and 40 K. An estimate was made for the tunnel splitting of the first NH4+ librational state from a fit of the observed ground-state tunnel splitting as a function of temperature. At temperatures of 50 K-70 K, classical neutron quasi-elastic scattering appears to dominate the spectra and is attributed to NH4+ cation jump reorientation about the four C-3 axes defined by the N-H bonds. A reorientational activation energy of 8.1 +/- 0.6 meV (0.79 +/- 0.06 kJ/mol) is determined from the behavior of the quasi-elastic linewidths in this temperature regime. This activation energy is in accord with a change in NH4+ dynamical behavior above 70 K. A low-temperature inelastic neutron scattering feature at 7.8 meV is assigned to a NH4+ librational mode. At increased temperatures, this feature drops in intensity, having shifted entirely to higher energies by 200 K, suggesting the onset of quasi-free NH4+ rotation.

TI Atomistic simulation of a graphene-nanoribbon-metal interconnect SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER LA English DT Article ID CARBON; NI(111) AB We report a molecular statics simulation of the physical processes responsible for binding and lattice distortions in a nanoscale electrical interconnect with realistic boundary conditions. The interconnect consists of a graphene ribbon interfaced with the (111) crystallographic surfaces (over 11 000 atoms overall) of two nickel electrodes. We quantify the graphene lattice distortions by mapping strains, as well as out-of-plane atomic displacements on a grid, throughout the simulated interconnect. The results suggest strongly localized graphene lattice distortions at the edges and strains that do not exceed 0.5% elsewhere. Such strains are not expected to affect the electrical properties of the graphene nanoribbon interconnect. A stand-alone graphene nanoribbon is simulated in order to identify the effect of electrodes partially supporting the graphene nanoribbon. Our results indicate that the electrodes reduce the in-plane strains induced by the nanoribbon edges, while causing rippling of the graphene lattice. The average graphene-nickel intersurface separation and the cohesive energy for the top-fcc configuration are calculated at similar to 2.13 angstrom and 68 : 22 meV angstrom(-2). In order to describe the interatomic interactions in the simulation, we utilize a set of accurate atomistic potentials for graphene on a nickel surface. The approach is based on the modified embedded atom method (MEAM) for the C-C and Ni-Ni interactions, and a Morse-type potential, which takes the surface configuration into account, for the Ni-C interactions. Our focus is on the Ni-(111) crystallographic surface interfaced with graphene in top-fcc, top-hcp, and hcp-fcc initial configurations. The interactions were validated by calculating the equilibrium binding energy and intersurface distance. The resulting binding energies and equilibrium intersurface separations obtained are in very good agreement with previous experimental and ab initio data obtained by use of density functional theory (DFT).

Rey, Ana Maria TI Spectroscopy of dipolar fermions in layered two-dimensional and three-dimensional lattices SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article ID POLAR-MOLECULES; GAS; SHIFTS; CLOCK AB Motivated by ongoing measurements at JILA, we calculate the recoil-free spectra of dipolar interacting fermions, for example ultracold heteronuclear molecules, in a one-dimensional lattice of two-dimensional layers or "pancakes," spectroscopically probing transitions between different internal (e.g., rotational) states. We additionally incorporate p-wave interactions and losses, which are important for reactive molecules such as KRb. Moreover, we consider other sources of spectral broadening: interaction-induced quasiparticle lifetimes and the different polarizabilities of the rotational states used for the spectroscopy. Although our main focus is molecules, some of the calculations are also useful for optical lattice atomic clocks. For example, understanding the p-wave shifts between identical fermions and small dipolar interactions coming from the excited clock state is necessary to reach future precision goals. Finally, we consider the spectra in a deep three-dimensional lattice and show how they give a great deal of information about static correlation functions, including all the moments of the density correlations between nearby sites. The range of correlations measurable depends on spectroscopic resolution and the dipole moment. C1 [Hazzard, Kaden R.

Stoichiometric CsTe2O6 is a mixed-valence Cs2Te4+Te36+O12 compound with a rhombohedral pyrochlore-type structure where there is complete order of Te4+ and Te6+. On heating, this compound develops significant electrical conductivity. As CsTe2O6 becomes oxygen deficient above 600 degrees C, the rhombohedral pyrochlore-type structure is replaced by a cubic pyrochlore-type structure with disordered Te4+/Te6+ and oxygen vacancies. However, for CsTe2O6-x phases prepared at 500 degrees C, the observed pyrochlore-type structure has orthorhombic symmetry. The Te4+ and O vacancies are all on chains running along the b axis, and the maximum value of x observed is about 0.3. At still higher values of x a new compound was discovered with a structure related to that reported for Rb4Te34+Te56+O23. C1 [Siritanon, Theeranun; Li, Jun; Sleight, Arthur W.; Subramanian, M.

Its impacts on ocean mixed-layer temperatures (MLT) in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETPO) are not well-understood. A previous study of mooring data at (110 degrees W, EQ) implies vertical advection forced by MJO-generated Kelvin waves is important to ETPO intraseasonal MLT; another, based on model output over (120-100 degrees W, 3 degrees S-3 degrees N), indicates meridional advection dominates. We analyze an ocean state estimate at (110 degrees W, EQ) and find combined subsurface processes, including a notable vertical advection component like that expected from MJO-forced Kelvin waves, dominate. However, when averaged over (120-100 degrees W, 3 degrees S-3 degrees N), subsurface processes and horizontal advection are both important, and effects of thermocline forcing (e. g., Kelvin waves) are small compared to those by local wind driven mixing and horizontal advection. The results highlight the importance of understanding regional physics on different spatial scales. Citation: Halkides, D. J., L. E. Lucas, D. E. Waliser, T. Lee, and R.

Using hydrographic surveys of the NE Pacific region, we develop empirical algorithms to predict pH and Omega using observations of temperature (T) and dissolved O-2. We attain R-2 values greater than 0.98 and RMS errors of 0.018 (pH), 0.052 (Omega(arag)), and 0.087 (Omega(calc)) for data between 30-500 m, sigma(theta) < 27.1. After calibrating optode-based O-2 data, we apply the algorithms to T and O-2 data from an Argo profiling float to produce a 14 month time-series of estimated pH and Omega(arag) in the upper water column of the NE subarctic Pacific. Comparison to independent data collected nearby in 2010 indicates pH and Omega(arag) estimates are robust. Although the method will not allow detection of anthropogenic trends in pH or Omega(arag), this approach will provide insight into natural variability and the key biogeochemical controls on these parameters. Most importantly, this work demonstrates that an assemblage of well-calibrated regional algorithms and Argo float data can be used as a low-cost, readily-deployable component of a global ocean carbon observing strategy.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the use of R-rs(443)/R-rs(490) (hereafter R1) skewness (psi) as an indicator of vertical optical structure in different marine regions. Measurements of inherent optical properties were obtained using a remotely operated towed vehicle and R1 was theoretically derived from optical profiles. Although the broad range of trophic status and water stratification, a common statistical pattern consisting of lower psi R1-a deeper optical layer was found in all study cases. This variation was attributed to optical changes above the opticline and related to horizontal variability of particulates and spectral variations with depth. We recommend more comparisons in stratified coastal waters with different phytoplankton communities before the use of psi R1 can be generalized as a noninvasive optical proxy for screening depth changes on subsurface optical layers.

TI ULF wave characteristics at geosynchronous orbit during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms associated with strong electron acceleration SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PITCH-ANGLE DIFFUSION; RADIATION BELT ELECTRONS; RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS; MAGNETIC-FIELD; TRAPPED PARTICLES; SOLAR-WIND; PULSATIONS; MAGNETOSPHERE; MICROPULSATIONS; ORIGIN AB We identified 17 geomagnetic storms between January 2007 and December 2008. Using particle measurements, each storm is classified as a high-flux event or a low-flux event. High-flux events are those storms associated with enhanced flux of relativistic electrons at geosynchronous orbit, and low-flux events show no such enhancement. We study the characteristics of ultralow frequency waves between 0 and 80 mHz during the recovery phase of the high-flux storms using magnetic field data. By determining the wave propagation direction and magnetic perturbation direction, we are able to calculate how the power is distributed between toroidal, poloidal, and compressional wave modes. We find that on the nightside most wave power is compressional at all frequencies below 80 mHz. On the dayside compressional wave power dominates the lowest frequencies below 20 mHz; toroidal waves carry most energy between 20 and 50 mHz, and poloidal waves are associated with higher power levels between 50 and 80 mHz. This suggests that on the nightside electrons are predominantly transported and energized by mechanisms involving the compressional wave mode; on the dayside, electron energization is achieved by acceleration mechanisms involving toroidal waves and mechanisms dependent on poloidal and compressional waves.

The species can colonize and dominate remarkably large areas of benthic habitat, including coastal bays and outer coastal areas, causing concerns about potential long-term effects on community structure, critical habitats, and fisheries resources. We report here the confirmed occurrence of D. vexillum in Alaska, representing a dramatic 1000 km northward extension of this non-native species along the western coast of North America. The species was detected as part of a " bioblitz", engaging citizen scientists to survey local biota and detect non-native marine species incursions. Following detection, the identity of D. vexillum was confirmed with robust genetic methods, and morphological characters were also consistent with previous species descriptions. Although invasions have been relatively rare in Alaskan waters to date, it is now clear that D. vexillum is established in at least one site (Whiting Harbor) near Sitka, Alaska. Given the explosive growth and spread of this species in other global regions, and its potential for significant impacts across diverse habitats in Alaska, current efforts are underway to evaluate its distribution and options to eradicate or control the species.

A major challenge that arises is that the number of compounds to search over can be quite large, sometimes numbering in the millions, making experimental testing intractable. For this reason computational methods are employed to filter out those compounds which do not exhibit strong biological activity. This filtering step, also called virtual screening reduces the search space, allowing for the remaining compounds to be experimentally tested. In this paper we propose several novel approaches to the problem of virtual screening based on Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and on a kernel-based extension. Spectral learning ideas motivate our proposed new method called Indefinite Kernel CCA (IKCCA). We show the strong performance of this approach both for a toy problem as well as using real world data with dramatic improvements in predictive accuracy of virtual screening over an existing methodology.

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. C1 [Bennett, Todd R.] NOAA Fisheries, NOAA Mukilteo Field, Res Stn, Mukilteo, WA 98275 USA.

The measurements were compared with crystal plasticity finite element simulations for the same region that incorporate a local phenomenological hardening constitutive model. The dislocation activity was measured using techniques associated with atomic force microscopy, confocal microscopy, three-dimensional x-ray diffraction, and nano-indentation. The results indicate that a major challenge for model development is to effectively predict conditions where slip transfer occurs, and where geometrically necessary dislocations accumulate.

TI Gallium nitride nanowire electromechanical resonators with piezoresistive readout SO JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B LA English DT Article ID GAN AB The authors report on the fabrication, piezoresistive readout, and frequency response of doubly clamped c-axis gallium nitride nanowire (NW) resonators that show mechanical quality factors exceeding 10 000. The devices are fabricated using a combination of lithographic patterning and dielectrophoresis to suspend NWs across 10 mu m gaps. An electrostatic gate induces NW vibration, which is electronically detected via NW piezoresistance. The naturally occurring range of NW diameters results in lowest beam resonances in the range of 9-36 MHz, consistent with a Young's modulus of roughly 300 GPa. Mechanical quality factors, Q, as high as 26 000 under vacuum at 8 K are observed. Selective variation of NW temperature by local joule heating while maintaining cold mechanical clamps demonstrates the dominant role of the polycrystalline metallic end clamps in the room-temperature mechanical dissipation.

Analysis of complementary X-ray and neutron reflectivity (XR, NR) data provide a rich picture of changes in structure with feed position and plasma power, with those changes resolved on the nanoscale. For plasma-polymerized octafluorocyclobutane (PP-OFCB) films, a region of distinct chemical composition and lower cross-link density is found at the substrate interface for the range of processing conditions studied and a surface layer of lower cross-link density also appears when plasma power exceeds 40 W. Varying the distance of the feed from the plasma impacts the degree of cross-linking in the film center, thickness of the surface layer, and thickness of the transition region at the substrate. Deposition at the highest power, 65 W, both enhances cross-linking and creates loose fragments with fluorine content higher than the average. The thickness of the low cross-link density region at the air interface plays an important role in determining the width of the interface built with a layer subsequently deposited atop the first.

Between 1990 and 2009, data on fishing gear, environmental variables, and bycatch were recorded for over 8,000 fishing sets by at-sea fishery observers, including over 4,000 sets outfitted with acoustic pingers between 1996 and 2009. Bycatch rates of cetaceans in sets with >= 30 pingers were nearly 50% lower compared to sets without pingers (p = 1.2 x 10(-6)), though this result is driven largely by common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) bycatch. Beaked whales have not been observed entangled in this fishery since 1995, the last full year of fishing without acoustic pingers. Pinger failure (>= 1 nonfunctioning pingers in a net) was noted in 3.7% of observed sets. In sets where the number of failed pingers was recorded, approximately 18% of deployed pingers had failed. Cetacean bycatch rates were 10 times higher in sets where >= 1 pingers failed versus sets without pinger failure (p = 0.002), though sample sizes for sets with pinger failure were small. No evidence of habituation to pingers by cetaceans was apparent over a 14-year period of use. Bycatch rates of California sea lions in sets with >= 30 gingers were nearly double that of sets without pingers, which prompted us to examine the potential "dinner bell" effects of pingers. Depredation of swordfish catch by California sea lions was not linked to pinger use-the best predictors of depredation were total swordfish catch, month fished, area fished, and nighttime use of deck lights on vessels.

TI High pressure route to generate magnetic monopole dimers in spin ice SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID IONIC SYSTEMS; FRUSTRATION; HO2TI2O7; LATTICE; COULOMB; MODELS; LIQUID; PHASE AB The gas of magnetic monopoles in spin ice is governed by one key parameter: the monopole chemical potential. A significant variation of this parameter could access hitherto undiscovered magnetic phenomena arising from monopole correlations, as observed in the analogous electrical Coulomb gas, like monopole dimerization, critical phase separation, or charge ordering. However, all known spin ices have values of chemical potential imposed by their structure and chemistry that place them deeply within the weakly correlated regime, where none of these interesting phenomena occur. Here we use high-pressure synthesis to create a new monopole host, Dy2Ge2O7, with a radically altered chemical potential that stabilizes a large fraction of monopole dimers. The system is found to be ideally described by the classic Debye-Huckel-Bjerrum theory of charge correlations. We thus show how to tune the monopole chemical potential in spin ice and how to access the diverse collective properties of magnetic monopoles. C1 [Gardner, J.

TI Potential Arctic Change Through Climate Amplification Processes SO OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID SEA-ICE; POLAR AMPLIFICATION; VARIABILITY; MODELS AB Could a gradual warming trend, combined with a large atmospheric or oceanic event, and mediated by Arctic-specific feedbacks, lead to persistent changes in Arctic climate? Several recent observed shifts follow this pattern: they are large, they occur across the Earth system, they are happening decades earlier than suggested by climate models, and while they may or may not be irreversible, they at least carry multiple-year memory (i.e., they are longer than the extreme event that was their proximate cause). When the 2007 summer sea ice minimum occurred, Arctic temperatures had been rising and sea ice had been decreasing over the previous two decades. Nevertheless, it took an unusually persistent southerly wind pattern over the summer months, and perhaps ocean transport and other factors, to initiate the loss event. The abrupt warming and associated record ice loss in West Greenland in 2010 also fit this hypothesis, initiated by southerly winds associated with an unusual manifestation of a natural climate pattern, the North Atlantic Oscillation. Extensive forest fires are causing deep burning of the soil layer, changing the carbon response of Arctic landmasses with lasting effects. Anomalous atmospheric circulation patterns in winter 2009-2010 and December 2010 linked cold-air outbreaks from the Arctic with mid-latitudes. While continued anthropogenic forcing predicts continued temperature increases and sea ice loss, these larger variations or "surprises" introduce uncertainties in the timing and magnitude of future Arctic shifts, the degree to which they are reversible or not, and how they will influence future local and global climate. Climate models, while imperfect, can be run multiple times, in series that are called "ensemble members," to capture a range of potential responses to randomly occurring extreme events combined with continuing anthropogenic warming trends.

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 degrees 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.

A total of 46,498 earthquakes have been located along oceanic plate boundaries, providing a comprehensive view of volcano-tectonic activity in the region. During the 20-year interval, the Northeast Pacific spreading centers exhibited both high levels of continued background seismicity (Explorer and Gorda segments) and long periods of quiescence punctuated by brief periods (days to weeks) of intense (> 1000 events/day) earthquake activity. The Juan de Fuca Ridge south of the Cobb Offset is largely aseismic, with the exception of events associated with two three-week-long volcanic eruptions and frequent seismicity at 46 degrees 50'N. In contrast, the Endeavour, Explorer, and Gorda Ridges, and the Cobb Offset are highly seismic, producing continuous earthquake activity. Of the seven major episodes of seafloor spreading identified by analysis of the SOSUS data, three resulted in lava eruptions onto the seafloor and release of large hydrothermal plumes. The Blanco Transform produces the most earthquakes and the largest seismic energy release of any Northeast Pacific plate boundary. The Explorer and Gorda plates are also very seismically active, which is consistent with these areas being highly fractured deformation zones that are structurally independent from the Juan de Fuca plate.

TI Uncertainty Analysis of NIST's 20 Liter Hydrocarbon Liquid Flow Standard SO MAPAN-JOURNAL OF METROLOGY SOCIETY OF INDIA LA English DT Article AB The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses a bi-directional 20 L-displacement piston prover as its primary standard for measuring hydrocarbon liquid flows ranging from 1.86 x 10(-5) m(3)/s (0.3 gpm) to 2.6 x 10(-3) m(3)/s (40 gpm). Our analysis shows that the prover's uncertainty over this flow range is 0.074 % (k = 2, corresponding to a 95 % confidence interval). Using a dual rotor turbine meter as the transfer standard, we compare the new 20 L piston prover standard with NIST's other hydrocarbon liquid standards and NIST's water flow standard. The results are consistent with the presented uncertainty analysis. C1 [Johnson, Aaron N.; Crowley, Chris J.; Yeh, T. T.] NIST, Fluid Metrol Grp, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 USA.

Two critical flow venturis (CFVs) with nominal throat diameters of 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively, were selected as transfer standards. The CFVs were calibrated on NIM's 20 m(3) PVTt system and then on NIST's 26 m(3) PVTt system. The results demonstrate the equivalence between NIM's and NIST's gas flow measurement capabilities for flows ranging from 1000 liters per minute to 4000 liters per minute at reference conditions of 101.325 kPa and 293.15 K.

Integrating hypotheses of species, fishing, and climate relationships using ecosystem modeling SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID LION EUMETOPIAS-JUBATUS; NORTHEAST PACIFIC-OCEAN; BERING-SEA; ALEUTIAN ISLANDS; CLUPEA-PALLASI; RECRUITMENT; MANAGEMENT; FISHERIES; ECOSIM; ECOPATH 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.

Such a model has been developed to estimate movement of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) between the northwestern and southeastern eastern Bering Sea. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of estimating movement using spatially disaggregated data supplemented by tagging data. Monte Carlo simulation was used to test accuracy and variability of parameter estimation in model scenarios with and without tagging information. Total biomass estimates for models with and without tagging data were unbiased, but uncertainty was smaller when tagging data were available. Uncertainty was also reduced in regional biomass and movement parameters when including tagging data. Our findings indicate that tagging information would be important to provide reliable spatially explicit fisheries management advice for eastern Bering Sea pollock.

TI Accounting for fish shoals in single- and multi-species survey data using mixture distribution models SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID RESIDUAL DIAGNOSTICS; DENSITY-DEPENDENCE; TRAWL SURVEY; ABUNDANCE; CATCH AB A scientific bottom trawl survey targeting Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) occasionally yields extraordinary catch events (ECEs) in which catch-per-unit-area is much greater than usual. We hypothesize that ECEs result from trawl catches of fish shoals. We developed mixture distribution models for positive catch rates to identify spatial covariates associated with ECEs or normal trawl catches and used simulation modeling to contrast the performance of mixture distribution and conventional log-linear models for estimating an annual index of positive catch rates. Finally, mixed-effects modeling was applied to multispecies data to evaluate the hypothesis that ECEs are related to shoaling behaviors. Results show that mixture distribution models are often selected over conventional models for shoaling species and that untrawlable habitat has a positive effect on rockfish densities. Simulation shows that mixture distribution models can perform as well as or better than conventional models at predicting positive catch rates. Finally, model selection supports the hypothesis that shoaling behaviors contribute to the occurrence of ECEs. We propose that greater understanding of ECEs and shoaling habitat selection could be useful in future spatial management and survey design and that mixture distribution models could improve methods for estimating annual indices of abundance.

TI Interface and Temperature Dependent Magnetic Properties in Permalloy Thin Films and Tunnel Junction Structures SO JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Magnetic Thin Films; Ferromagnetic Resonance; Thermally Induced Spin Reorientation Transition ID FERROMAGNETIC-RESONANCE LINEWIDTH; SPIN-REORIENTATION TRANSITION; ANISOTROPY; MULTILAYERS; DIRECTION AB Magnetization dynamics and field dependent magnetization of different devices based on 25-30 nm thick Permalloy (Py) films: such as single Py layers (Py/MgO; Py/CoFeB/Al(2)O(3)) and Py inserted as a magnetic layer in magnetic tunnel junctions (Py/CoFe/Al(2)O(3)/CoFe; Py/CoFeB/Al(2)O(3)/CoFe; Py/MgO/Fe) have been extensively studied within a temperature range between 300 K down to 5 K. The dynamic response was investigated in the linear regime measuring the ferromagnetic resonance response of the Py layers using broadband vector network analyzer technique. Both the static and the dynamic properties suggest the possible presence of a thermally induced spin reorientation transition in the Py interface at temperatures around 60 K in all the samples investigated. It seems, however, that the details of the interface between Py and the hardening ferromagnet/insulator structure, the atomic structure of Py layers (amorphous vs. textured) as well as the presence of dipolar coupling through the insulating barrier in the magnetic tunnel junction structures could strongly influence this low temperature reorientation transition. Our conclusions are indirectly supported by structural characterization of the samples by means of X-Ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. Micromagnetic simulations indicate the possibility of strongly enhanced surface anisotropy in thin Py films over CoFe or CoFeB underlayers. Comparison of the simulations with experimental results also shows that the thermally-induced spin reorientation transition could be influenced by the presence of strong disorder at the surface.

The development of in situ diagnostics for processes involving these compounds could be beneficial in, e.g., developing deposition recipes and validating equipment-scale simulations. This report describes the performance of the combination of two techniques for the simultaneous, rapid measurement of the three major gas phase species during hafnium oxide thermal ALD using TEMAH and water: TEMAH, water, and methylethyl amine (MEA), the only major reaction by-product. For measurement of TEMAH and MEA, direct absorption methods based on a broadband infrared source with different mid-IR bandpass filters and utilizing amplitude modulation and synchronous detection were developed. For the measurement of water, wavelength modulation spectroscopy utilizing a near-IR distributed feedback diode laser was used. Despite the relatively simple reactor geometry employed here (a flow tube), differences were easily observed in the time-dependent species distributions in 300 mL/min of a helium carrier gas and in 1000 mL/min of a nitrogen carrier gas. The degree of TEMAH entrainment was lower in 300 mL/min of helium compared to that in 1000 mL/min of nitrogen. The capability to obtain detailed time-dependent species concentrations during ALD could potentially allow for the selection of carrier gas composition and flow rates that would minimize parasitic wall reactions. However, when nitrogen was employed at the higher flow rates, various flow effects were observed that, if detrimental to a deposition process, would effectively limit the upper range of useful flow rates.

Although it has been hypothesized that these blooms are increasing in frequency, the lack of historical records limits our understanding of potential causal mechanisms. In this study, an 15-year time-series (1993-2008) of sediment trap samples collected from the Santa Barbara Basin (SBB) at 540 m were analyzed for Pseudo-nitzschia (n = 196, microscopy and SEM) and DA (n = 206, LC-MS/MS) concentrations and fluxes. Results suggest that there was an abrupt shift towards greater frequency and higher magnitude Pseudo-nitzschia blooms and toxic DA flux events in the SBB after the year 2000. SEM analysis of sediment trap material indicates that these events were mainly blooms of P. australis, with cell fluxes increasing by an order of magnitude from a maximum of 4.5 x 10(6) cells m(-2) d(-1) pre-2000, to as high as 3.2 x 10(8) cells m(-2) d(-1) thereafter. Similarly, sediment trap DA fluxes increased by an average of 13.4 mu g m(-2) d(-1), with only one large event (>5 mu g m(-2) d(-1)) from 1993 to 1999 versus 16 large DA events from 2000 to 2008. While the causes of this abrupt shift remain ambiguous, we suggest that this shift may be related to natural climate variability associated with a change in phase of the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) and its potential influence on the composition and magnitude of waters that are upwelled into the SBB.

In this paper, the conditions are described which led to the development and demise of this bloom. The bloom was observed for 1 month from 5-October until 4-November with the peak of abundance on 19-October (347,615 cells L(-1)). The A. sanguinea bloom followed September blooms of the diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia spp, Chaetoceros debills, and the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum gracile. The bloom occurred when nitrate and silicate concentrations were <2 mu M and <8 mu M, respectively, and when the water column was stratified. This A. sanguinea dinoflagellate bloom event was closely related to the anomalous upwelling conditions in 2009: upwelling ceased early, at the end of August, whereas a normal upwelling continues into early October. This relaxation extended to near the end of September as a prolonged downwelling event, but then active upwelling reappeared in October and November. The explanation for the occurrence of the A. sanguinea bloom in October may be related to a combination of a prior diatom bloom, a stratified water column with low nutrient concentration in September, and an active upwelling event in October. As for the ultimate source of the cells, the hypothesis is that the seed stock for the A sanguinea bloom off Oregon was southward transport of cells from the Washington coast where a massive bloom of A. sanguinea was first observed in September 2009.

Here, we describe some of the experimental and theoretical work involving complex morphologies of Au-catalyzed Si nanowires grown using the vapor-liquid-solid technique. Although there is a broad parameter space to explore, experiments have highlighted the importance of the precursor and impurity partial pressures on kinking behavior. Theoretical and modeling work has indicated that the stability of and transitions in droplet configuration are important for growth direction changes that can lead to complex morphologies. We describe recent phase-field simulations of nanowire growth that address the dynamics of liquid droplets during vapor-liquid-solid growth, as well as the implications of these results for the formation of wires with complex morphology.

TI Relationship of External Fish Condition to Pathogen Prevalence and Out-Migration Survival in Juvenile Steelhead SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID SUMMER CHINOOK SALMON; SNAKE RIVER; COLUMBIA RIVER; DELAYED MORTALITY; MARKED ANIMALS; COHO SALMON; STRESS; PCR; SUSCEPTIBILITY; IDENTIFICATION AB Understanding how the external condition of juvenile salmonids is associated with internal measures of health and subsequent out-migration survival can be valuable for population monitoring programs. This study investigated the use of a rapid, nonlethal, external examination to assess the condition of run-of-the-river juvenile steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss migrating from the Snake River to the Pacific Ocean. We compared the external condition (e. g., body injuries, descaling, external signs of disease, fin damage, and ectoparasite infestations) with (1) the internal condition of a steelhead as measured by the presence of selected pathogens detected by histopathology and polymerase chain reaction analysis and (2) out-migration survival through the Snake and Columbia rivers as determined by passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag technology. The results from steelhead captured and euthanized (n = 222) at Lower Monumental Dam on the lower Snake River in 2008 indicated that external condition was significantly correlated with selected measures of internal condition. The odds of testing positive for a pathogen were 39.2, 24.3, and 5.6 times greater for steelhead with severe or moderate external signs of disease or more than 20% descaling, respectively. Capture-recapture models of 22,451 PIT-tagged steelhead released at Lower Monumental Dam in 2007-2009 indicated that external condition was significantly correlated with juvenile survival. The odds of out-migration survival for steelhead with moderate or severe external signs of disease, more than 20% descaling, or severe fin damage were 5.7, 4.9, 1.6, and 1.3 times lower, respectively, than those for steelhead without these external conditions. This study effectively demonstrated that specific measures of external condition were associated with both the internal condition and out-migration survival of juvenile steelhead.

TI Alternative Male Reproductive Phenotypes Affect Offspring Growth Rates in Chinook Salmon SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID MALE LIFE-HISTORY; ONCORHYNCHUS-TSHAWYTSCHA; ATLANTIC SALMON; MICROSATELLITE LOCI; MALE MATURATION; SIZE; HATCHERY; SALAR; SELECTION; TACTICS AB Male age at maturity in Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha is a heritable trait in which the physiological "decision" to mature depends on an individual's exceeding a body size or condition threshold at critical developmental periods. In Chinook salmon, high juvenile growth rates promote the so called "jack" male life history. Jack males mature 1 year earlier than the youngest females in a population and are substantially smaller than older (hereafter, "adult") males from the same population. We tested the hypothesis that the offspring of jack Chinook salmon males grow faster than the offspring of adult males, consistent with the heritability for age at maturity already demonstrated for this species. We controlled for maternal effects by artificially spawning individual jack and adult males with the same female, incubating the eggs, and testing offspring growth and survival in a common, quasinatural stream environment. Paternal life history had a significant effect on final length and weight over all stream channel sections combined. The mean difference in body size between the offspring of jack and adult males ranged from essentially none to 31% among the eight stream channel sections. The size differences we detected could significantly affect which fish mature and thereby suggest that paternal effects on juvenile growth rate constitute a plausible proximate mechanism in maintaining life history diversity in Chinook salmon. Maternal body size was positively correlated with offspring growth rate and egg size was negatively correlated with growth rate, suggesting that fairly complex mechanisms regulate the growth rate through early ontogeny. The effect of sire life history on offspring growth is consistent with estimates of high heritability for age at maturity in Chinook salmon and a genetic effect of alternative mating tactics on offspring performance.

The data synthesized in this study spanned the 30-year period 1975-2005 and included information on the seasonal distribution, size structure, and habitat associations of 449 bull sharks. For comparison, data from an additional 106 bull sharks captured in shelf waters adjacent to the IRL were also examined. The IRL is dominated by young-of-the-year (age-0) and juvenile bull sharks, which were most abundant during spring, summer, and autumn. Shark captures were most often associated with shallow freshwater creeks, power plant outfalls, ocean inlets, and seagrass habitats with temperatures greater than 20 degrees C, salinities of 10-30%, and dissolved oxygen concentrations between 4 and 7 mg/L. Juvenile bull sharks were found in waters with higher mean salinities than were age-0 sharks. Although the IRL is one of the most important bull shark nursery areas on the U. S. Atlantic coast, catch-per-unit-effort data indicate that bull shark abundance decreases with increasing latitude within and north of the IRL, suggesting that the IRL is the northern limit of functional nursery habitat for this species in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.

TI Effects of Ceratomyxosis on Population Dynamics of Klamath Fall-Run Chinook Salmon SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID EMERGING INFECTIOUS-DISEASE; OREGON-CALIFORNIA; ONCORHYNCHUS-TSHAWYTSCHA; SHASTA MYXOZOA; RIVER-BASIN; PARASITE; TIME; MORTALITY; FISH; STEELHEAD AB Animal populations are frequently infected by pathogens, but it is not always easy to determine the importance of pathogens to overall population dynamics. It is especially difficult to detect the effects of disease in population time series data because the effects are often local while overall population dynamics are also affected by larger-scale environmental factors. We overcame this difficulty by applying multivariate time series analysis to extract local effects from spawning abundance data and by comparing the survival rate of juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha from two locations in the Klamath River basin of California, one of which is affected by a high concentration of the myxozoan parasite Ceratomyxa shasta. To assess the effect of the disease (ceratomyxosis) caused by C. shasta on the population dynamics, we analyzed spatially structured abundance data for naturally spawning salmon and survival data for hatchery-released salmon for associations with exposure to C. shasta and stream discharge, another important factor with respect to ceratomyxosis in juvenile salmon. The results suggest that ceratomyxosis reduces the survival of the Chinook salmon that migrate through the location where parasite densities are highest and that this effect is also detectable in spawning abundance estimates.

TI The Influence of Hatchery Rearing Practices on Salmon Migratory Behavior: Is the Tendency of Chinook Salmon to Remain within Puget Sound Affected by Size and Date of Release? SO TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID WIRE TAG RECOVERIES; ATLANTIC SALMON; ONCORHYNCHUS-TSHAWYTSCHA; LIFE-HISTORY; SEAWARD MIGRATION; PACIFIC SALMON; MARINE GROWTH; FRESH-WATER; BALTIC SEA; WASHINGTON AB The marine migrations of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., and especially Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha, vary greatly in duration and spatial extent. In Puget Sound, Washington, most Chinook salmon migrate from freshwater to the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean before returning to spawn in their natal streams. However, some leave freshwater but remain in the semi-estuarine waters of Puget Sound until they mature and then return to freshwater to spawn. The objective of our study was to determine the effect of rearing conditions and hatchery location on the prevalence of this alternative pattern of marine distribution by hatchery-produced Chinook salmon in Puget Sound. We used coded wire tag recovery data to analyze the effect of release region, age, size, and date of release on the proportion of fish showing resident-type behavior, defined as recovery in Puget Sound fisheries outside the period when maturing salmon return from the coast. Based on 226 different release groups from 26 hatcheries throughout Puget Sound from 1972 to 1993, 24% of the fish recovered were classified as residents, though this is not an actual estimate of the percentage of fish displaying this distribution pattern. The best single predictor of residency was release region, suggesting that where fish enter the marine environment had the largest influence on whether they adopted resident behavior or migrated directly to the ocean. The overall best model included an interactive effect between release region and size at release, revealing that the propensity of large fish to remain resident varied significantly among regions. The actual mechanisms that create the diversity of distribution patterns are still unknown, but the effects of rearing conditions and release location provide useful information for the management of these salmon populations.

Using the known crystal structures, density functional theory (DFT) phonon calculations were able to closely replicate the observed vibrational spectra. The spectral details were found to differ considerably with structure, indicating that the internal vibrations of the B(12)H(12)(2-) icosahedral anions are sensitive to symmetry-dependent interactions with their crystal surroundings. In contrast, these internal vibrations were relatively unchanged among isomorphic A(2)B(12)H(12) and AeB(12)H(12) compounds possessing different metal cations. These results confirm that the combination of NVS and DFT phonon calculations can be used to help validate postulated local crystal symmetries in these types of materials, even in instances where the ordering is only short-range, rendering the materials amorphous with respect to diffraction probes.

TI Prototype cantilevers for quantitative lateral force microscopy SO REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS LA English DT Article ID TORSIONAL SPRING CONSTANT; FRICTION MEASUREMENTS; TRIBOLOGY; CALIBRATION; STIFFNESS; MEMS; TIP AB Prototype cantilevers are presented that enable quantitative surface force measurements using contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). The "hammerhead" cantilevers facilitate precise optical lever system calibrations for cantilever flexure and torsion, enabling quantifiable adhesion measurements and friction measurements by lateral force microscopy (LFM). Critically, a single hammerhead cantilever of known flexural stiffness and probe length dimension can be used to perform both a system calibration as well as surface force measurements in situ, which greatly increases force measurement precision and accuracy. During LFM calibration mode, a hammerhead cantilever allows an optical lever "torque sensitivity" to be generated for the quantification of LFM friction forces. Precise calibrations were performed on two different AFM instruments, in which torque sensitivity values were specified with sub-percent relative uncertainty. To examine the potential for accurate lateral force measurements using the prototype cantilevers, finite element analysis predicted measurement errors of a few percent or less, which could be reduced via refinement of calibration methodology or cantilever design. The cantilevers are compatible with commercial AFM instrumentation and can be used for other AFM techniques such as contact imaging and dynamic mode measurements.

The receiver contains a focal plane of 280 superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers instrumented with a frequency-domain multiplexed readout system. The bolometers are cooled to 280 mK via a three-stage helium sorption refrigerator and a mechanical pulse-tube cooler. Three warm mirrors, two 4 K lenses, and a horn array couple the TES bolometers to the telescope. APEX-SZ observes in a single frequency band at 150 GHz with 1' angular resolution and a 22' field-of-view, all well suited for cluster mapping. The APEX-SZ receiver has played a key role in the introduction of several new technologies including TES bolometers, the frequency-domain multiplexed readout, and the use of a pulse-tube cooler with bolometers. As a result of these new technologies, the instrument has a higher instantaneous sensitivity and covers a larger field-of-view than earlier generations of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich instruments. The TES bolometers have a median sensitivity of 890 mu K-CMB root s (NEy of 3.5 x 10(-4) root s). We have also demonstrated upgraded detectors with improved sensitivity of 530 mu K-CMB root s (NEy of 2.2 x 10(-4) root s). Since its commissioning in April 2007, APEX-SZ has been used to map 48 clusters. We describe the design of the receiver and its performance when installed on the APEX telescope.

This methodology is model-independent and can be utilized with or without satellite and/or in situ observations. Here we develop new feature-oriented models for the eastern North Pacific from 36 degrees to 48 degrees N - essentially, most of the regional eastern boundary current. This is the first time feature-modeling has been applied to a complex eastern boundary current system. As a prerequisite to feature modeling, prevalent features that comprise the multiscale and complex circulation in the California Current system (CCS) are first overviewed. This description is based on contemporary understanding of the features and their dominant space and time scales of variability. A synergistic configuration of circulation features interacting with one another on multiple and sometimes overlapping space and time scales as a meander-eddy-upwelling system is presented. The second step is to define the feature-oriented regional modeling system (FORMS). The major multiscale circulation features include the mean flow and southeastward meandering jet(s) of the California Current (CC), the poleward flowing California Undercurrent (CUC), and six upwelling regions along the coastline. Next, the typical synoptic width, location, vertical extent, and core characteristics of these features and their dominant scales of variability are identified from past observational, theoretical and modeling studies. The parameterized features are then melded with the climatology, in situ and remotely sensed data, as available. The methodology is exemplified here for initialization of primitive-equation models. Dynamical simulations are run as nowcasts and short-term (4-6 weeks) forecasts using these feature models (FM) as initial fields and the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) for dynamics. The set of simulations over a 40-day period illustrate the applicability of FORMS to a transient eastern boundary current region such as the CCS. Comparisons are made with simulations initialized from climatology only. The FORMS approach increases skill in several factors, including the: (i) maintenance of the low-salinity pool in the core of the CC; (ii) representation of eddy activity inshore of the coastal transition zone; (iii) realistic eddy kinetic energy evolution; (iv) subsurface (intermediate depth) mesoscale feature evolution; and (v) deep poleward flow evolution.

TI On the modeling of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill SO DYNAMICS OF ATMOSPHERES AND OCEANS LA English DT Article DE Numerical model; Lagrangian trajectory prediction; Oil spill ID COORDINATE OCEAN MODEL; VERTICAL COORDINATE; DATA ASSIMILATION; LAGRANGIAN DATA; HYCOM; SIMULATIONS; ATLANTIC; CIRCULATION; PRODUCTS; IMPACT AB Two oil particle trajectory forecasting systems were developed and applied to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Both systems use ocean current fields from high-resolution numerical ocean circulation model simulations, Lagrangian stochastic models to represent unresolved sub-grid scale variability to advect oil particles, and Monte Carlo-based schemes for representing uncertain biochemical and physical processes. The first system assumes two-dimensional particle motion at the ocean surface, the oil is in one state, and the particle removal is modeled as a Monte Carlo process parameterized by a one number removal rate. Oil particles are seeded using both initial conditions based on observations and particles released at the location of the Maconda well. The initial conditions (ICs) of oil particle location for the two-dimensional surface oil trajectory forecasts are based on a fusing of all available information including satellite-based analyses. The resulting oil map is digitized into a shape file within which a polygon filling software generates longitude and latitude with variable particle density depending on the amount of oil present in the observations for the IC. The more complex system assumes three (light, medium, heavy) states for the oil, each state has a different removal rate in the Monte Carlo process, three-dimensional particle motion, and a particle size-dependent oil mixing model. Simulations from the two-dimensional forecast system produced results that qualitatively agreed with the uncertain "truth" fields. These simulations validated the use of our Monte Carlo scheme for representing oil removal by evaporation and other weathering processes. Eulerian velocity fields for predicting particle motion from data-assimilative models produced better particle trajectory distributions than a free running model with no data assimilation. Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional oil particle trajectory, whose ensembles were generated by perturbing the size of the oil particles and the fraction in a given size range that are released at depth, the two largest unknowns in this problem. 36 realizations of the model were run with only subsurface oil releases. An average of these results yields that after three months, about 25% of the oil remains in the water column and that most of the oil is below 800 m. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

For a partial set of mostly ocean MetOp-A orbits collected on 3 October 2010 for latitudes between 70 degrees S and 75 degrees N, these cloud-cleared radiances and clear-sky subpixel AVHRR measurements within the IASI footprint agree to better than 0.25-K root-mean-squared difference for AVHRR window channels with almost zero bias. For the same dataset, surface skin temperatures retrieved using the combined AVHRR. IASI. and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) cloud-clearing algorithm match well with ECMWF model surface skin temperatures over ocean, yielding total uncertainties <= 1.2 K for scenes with up to 97% cloudiness.

These networks were designed to serve the combined needs of the hydrological, meteorological, agricultural, and climatological communities for observations of soil moisture on time scales that range from minutes to decades. The networks are a major component of the HMT program that has been developed to accelerate the development and infusion of new observing technologies, modeling methods, and recent scientific research into the National Weather Service (NWS) offices and to help focus research and development efforts on key hydrological and meteorological forecast problems. These forecast problems are not only of interest to the NWS, but they also play a crucial role in providing input to water managers who work at the national, state, and local government levels to provide water for human consumption, agriculture, and other needs. The HMT soil moisture networks have been specifically designed to capture the changes in soil moisture that are associated with heavy precipitation events and runoff from snowpack during the melt season. This paper describes the strategies used to site the networks and sensors as well as the selection, testing, and calibration of the soil moisture probes. In addition, two illustrative examples of the data gathered by the networks are shown. The first example shows changes in soil moisture observed before and during a flood event on the Babocomari River tributary of the San Pedro River near Sierra Vista, Arizona, on 23 July 2008. The second example examines a 5-yr continuous time series of soil moisture gathered at Healdsburg, California. The time series illustrates the transition from a multiyear wet period to exceptionally dry conditions from a soil moisture perspective.

Guan, Yuping TI A Scheme to Identify Loops from Trajectories of Oceanic Surface Drifters: An Application in the Kuroshio Extension Region SO JOURNAL OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ATLANTIC-OCEAN; NORTH-ATLANTIC; EDDY; EDDIES AB When a drifter is trapped in an eddy, it makes either a cycloidal or a looping trajectory. The former case takes place when the translating speed is larger than the eddy spinning speed. When the background mean velocity is removed, drifter trajectories make loops. Thus, eddies can be detected from a drifter trajectory by identifying looping segments. In this paper, an automated scheme is developed to identify looping segments from Lagrangian trajectories, based on a geometric definition of a loop, that is, a closing curve with its starting point overlapped by its ending point. The scheme is to find the first returning point, if it exists, along a trajectory of a surface drifter with a few other criteria. To further increase the chance that detected loops are eddies, it is considered that a loop identifies an eddy only when the loop's spinning period is longer than the local inertial period and shorter than the seasonal scale, and that at least two consecutive loops with the same polarity that stay sufficiently close are found. Five parameters that characterize an eddy are estimated by the scheme: location (eddy center), time (starting and ending time), period, polarity, and intensity. As an example, the scheme is applied to surface drifters in the Kuroshio Extension region. Results indicate that numbers of eddies are symmetrically distributed for cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, mean eddy sizes are 40-50 km, and eddy abundance is the highest along the Kuroshio path with more cyclonic eddies along its southern flank.

The values of APO were low from the 1880s to the mid-1910s and high from the 1920s to the 1940s. When the APO was higher, tropospheric temperatures were higher over Asia and lower over the Pacific and North America. From the low-APO decades to the high-APO decades, both upper-tropospheric highs and lower-tropospheric low pressure systems strengthened over South Asia and weakened over North America. As a result, anomalous southerly-southwesterly flow prevailed over the Asian monsoon region, meaning stronger moisture transport over Asia. On the contrary, the weakened upper-tropospheric high and lower-tropospheric low over North America caused anomalous sinking motion over the region. As a result, rainfall generally enhanced over the Asian monsoon regions and decreased over North America. C1 [Yang, Song] NOAA, Climate Predict Ctr, NWS, NCEP, Camp Springs, MD 20746 USA.

Jonathan Turner, David D. TI Long-Term Trends in Downwelling Spectral Infrared Radiance over the US Southern Great Plains SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID TESTING CLIMATE MODELS; WATER-VAPOR; INTERFEROMETER AERI; PROFILES AB A trend analysis was applied to a 14-yr time series of downwelling spectral infrared radiance observations from the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) located at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) site in the U. S. Southern Great Plains. The highly accurate calibration of the AERI instrument, performed every 10 min, ensures that any statistically significant trend in the observed data over this time can be attributed to changes in the atmospheric properties and composition, and not to changes in the sensitivity or responsivity of the instrument. The measured infrared spectra, numbering more than 800 000, were classified as clear-sky, thin cloud, and thick cloud scenes using a neural network method. The AERI data record demonstrates that the downwelling infrared radiance is decreasing over this 14-yr period in the winter, summer, and autumn seasons but it is increasing in the spring; these trends are statistically significant and are primarily due to long-term change in the cloudiness above the site. The AERI data also show many statistically significant trends on annual, seasonal, and diurnal time scales, with different trend signatures identified in the separate scene classifications. Given the decadal time span of the dataset, effects from natural variability should be considered in drawing broader conclusions. Nevertheless, this dataset has high value owing to the ability to infer possible mechanisms for any trends from the observations themselves and to test the performance of climate models. C1 [Gero, P.

S. surface temperatures to El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the surface energy balance is diagnosed from observations, with emphasis on the role of clouds, water vapor, and land surface properties associated with snow cover and soil moisture. Results for the winter season (December-February) indicate that U. S. surface temperature conditions associated with ENSO are determined principally by anomalies in the surface radiative heating-the sum of absorbed solar radiation and downward longwave radiation. Each component of the surface radiative heating is linked with specific characteristics of the atmospheric hydrologic response to ENSO and also to feedbacks by the land surface response. During El Nino, surface warming over the northern United States is physically consistent with three primary processes: 1) increased downward solar radiation due to reduced cloud optical thickness, 2) reduced reflected solar radiation due to an albedo decline resulting from snow cover loss, and 3) increased downward longwave radiation linked to an increase in precipitable water. In contrast, surface cooling over the southern United States during El Nino is mainly the result of a reduction in incoming solar radiation resulting from increased cloud optical thickness. During La Nina, surface warming over the central United States results mainly from snow cover losses, whereas warming over the southern United States results mainly from a reduction in cloud optical thickness that yields increased incoming solar radiation and also from an increase in precipitable water that enhances the downward longwave radiation. For both phases of ENSO the surface radiation budget is closely linked to large-scale horizontal and vertical motions in the free atmosphere through two main processes: 1) the convergence of the atmospheric water vapor transport that largely determines cloud optical thickness and thereby affects incoming shortwave radiation and 2) the changes in tropospheric column temperature resulting from the characteristic atmospheric teleconnections that largely determine column precipitable water and thereby affect downward longwave radiation.

TI High-resolution infrared spectra of spiropentane, C5H8 SO JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY LA English DT Article DE Spiropentane; High-resolution infrared spectrum; Rovibrational constants; DFT study; Anharmonic frequencies ID ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION; MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE; NEMATIC SOLVENT; CYCLOBUTANE; SPECTROSCOPY; PERTURBATIONS; RESONANCE; BANDS; NMR AB Infrared spectra of spiropentane (C5H8) have been recorded at a resolution (0.002 cm(-1)) sufficient to resolve for the first time individual rovibrational lines. This initial report presents the ground state rotational constants for this molecule determined from the detailed analysis of the nu(16) (b(2)) parallel band at 993 cm(-1). In addition, the determination included more than 2000 ground state combination-differences deduced from partial analyses of four other infrared-allowed bands, the nu(24)(e) perpendicular band at 780 cm(-1) and three (b(2)) parallel bands at 1540 cm(-1) (nu(14)), 1568 cm(-1) (nu(5) + v(16)), and 2098 cm(-1) (nu(5) + nu(14)). In each of the latter four cases, the spectra show complications: in the case of nu(24), these complications are due to rotational l-type doublings, and in the case of the parallel bands, the spectral complexities are due to Fermi resonance and Coriolis interactions of the upper states with nearby levels. The unraveling of these is underway but the assignment of many of these transitions permit the confident use of the ground state differences in determining the following constants for the ground state (in units of cm(-1)): B-0 = 0.1394741(1), D-J = 2.461(1) x 10(-8), D-JK = 8.69(3) x 10(-8). For the unperturbed nu(16) fundamental, more than 3000 transitions were fit and the band origin was found to be at 992.53793(3) cm(-1). The numbers in parentheses are the uncertainties (two standard deviations) in the value of the last digit of the constants. Surprisingly, the very accurate B-0 value measured here is lower than the value (0.1418 cm(-1)) calculated from an electron diffraction structure, instead of being higher, as expected. Where possible, the rovibrational results are compared with those computed at the anharmonic level using the B3LYP density functional method with a cc-pVTZ basis set. These too suggest that the electron diffraction results are in question. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 [Price, J. E.; Coulterpark, K. A.; Nibler, J.

The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory whenever possible. Although there are sufficient data at normal temperatures, data at very low or very high temperatures as well as near the critical region are scarce. In the case of the dilute-gas thermal conductivity, a new theoretically based correlation was adopted, as it agreed very well with the existing data. Moreover, in the critical region, the experimentally observed enhancement of the thermal conductivity is well represented by theoretically based equations containing just one adjustable parameter. The correlations are applicable for the temperature range from the triple point to 1000 K and pressures up to 100 MPa for both normal hydrogen and parahydrogen. (C) 2011 by the U. S.

Shafer TI Baroclinic Turbulence in the Ocean: Analysis with Primitive Equation and Quasigeostrophic Simulations SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID ANTARCTIC CIRCUMPOLAR CURRENT; MULTIPLE ZONAL JETS; BETA-PLANE; KINETIC-ENERGY; MIDOCEAN EDDIES; SATELLITE ALTIMETRY; CIRCULATION MODELS; WIND-DRIVEN; MEAN FLOW; TRANSPORT AB This paper examines the factors determining the distribution, length scale, magnitude, and structure of mesoscale oceanic eddies in an eddy-resolving primitive equation simulation of the Southern Ocean [Modeling Eddies in the Southern Ocean (MESO)]. In particular, the authors investigate the hypothesis that the primary source of mesoscale eddies is baroclinic instability acting locally on the mean state. Using local mean vertical profiles of shear and stratification from an eddying primitive equation simulation, the forced dissipated quasigeostrophic equations are integrated in a doubly periodic domain at various locations. The scales, energy levels, and structure of the eddies found in the MESO simulation are compared to those predicted by linear stability analysis, as well as to the eddying structure of the quasigeostrophic simulations. This allows the authors to quantitatively estimate the role of local nonlinear effects and cascade phenomena in the generation of the eddy field. There is a modest transfer of energy (an "inverse cascade") to larger scales in the horizontal, with the length scale of the resulting eddies typically comparable to or somewhat larger than the wavelength of the most unstable mode. The eddies are, however, manifestly nonlinear, and in many locations the turbulence is fairly well developed. Coherent structures also ubiquitously emerge during the nonlinear evolution of the eddy field. There is a near-universal tendency toward the production of grave vertical scales, with the barotropic and first baroclinic modes dominating almost everywhere, but there is a degree of surface intensification that is not captured by these modes. Although the results from the local quasigeostrophic model compare well with those of the primitive equation model in many locations, some profiles do not equilibrate in the quasigeostrophic model. In many cases, bottom friction plays an important quantitative role in determining the final scale and magnitude of eddies in the quasigeostrophic simulations.

TI Ocean Preconditioning of Cyclone Nargis in the Bay of Bengal: Interaction between Rossby Waves, Surface Fresh Waters, and Sea Surface Temperatures SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL INDIAN-OCEAN; MIXED-LAYER; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; SEASONAL VARIABILITY; SUMMER MONSOON; BARRIER LAYER; EL-NINO; CIRCULATION; MECHANISMS; RESOLUTION AB An in-depth data analysis was conducted to understand the occurrence of a strong sea surface temperature (SST) front in the central Bay of Bengal before the formation of Cyclone Nargis in April 2008. Nargis changed its course after encountering the front and tracked along the front until making landfall. One unique feature of this SST front was its coupling with high sea surface height anomalies (SSHAs), which is unusual for a basin where SST is normally uncorrelated with SSHA. The high SSHAs were associated with downwelling Rossby waves, and the interaction between downwelling and surface fresh waters was a key mechanism to account for the observed SST SSHA coupling. The near-surface salinity field in the bay is characterized by strong stratification and a pronounced horizontal gradient, with low salinity in the northeast. During the passage of downwelling Rossby waves, freshening of the surface layer was observed when surface velocities were southwestward. Horizontal convergence of freshwater associated with downwelling Rossby waves increased the buoyancy of the upper layer and caused the mixed layer to shoal to within a few meters of the surface. Surface heating trapped in the thin mixed layer caused the fresh layer to warm, whereas the increase in buoyancy from low-salinity waters enhanced the high SSHA associated with Rossby waves. Thus, high ssT coincided with high SSHA. The dominant role of salinity in controlling high SSHA suggests that caution should be exercised when computing hurricane heat potential in the bay from SSHA. This situation is different from most tropical oceans, where temperature has the dominant effect on SSHA. C1 [Yu, Lisan] Woods Hole Oceanog Inst, Dept Phys Oceanog, Woods Hole, MA 02543 USA.

TI Water Mass Exchange in the Southern Ocean in Coupled Climate Models SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID TOTAL GEOSTROPHIC CIRCULATION; AIR-SEA FLUXES; OVERTURNING CIRCULATION; GLOBAL OCEAN; GENERAL-CIRCULATION; FLOW PATTERNS; DEACON CELL; ICE; SIMULATION; TRANSFORMATION AB The authors estimate water mass transformation rates resulting from surface buoyancy fluxes and interior diapycnal fluxes in the region south of 30 degrees S in the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) model-based state estimation and three free-running coupled climate models. The meridional transport of deep and intermediate waters across 30 degrees S agrees well between models and observationally based estimates in the Atlantic Ocean but not in the Indian and Pacific, where the model-based estimates are much smaller. Associated with this, in the models about half the southward-flowing deep water is converted into lighter waters and half is converted to denser bottom waters, whereas the observationally based estimates convert most of the inflowing deep water to bottom waters. In the models, both Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) are formed primarily via an interior diapycnal transformation rather than being transformed at the surface via heat or freshwater fluxes. Given the small vertical diffusivity specified in the models in this region, the authors conclude that other processes such as cabbeling and thermobaricity must be playing an important role in water mass transformation. Finally, in the models, the largest contribution of the surface buoyancy fluxes in the Southern Ocean is to convert Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) and AAIW into lighter Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW).

At most frequencies common to the new service and the old service, the values of the expanded uncertainties of the new service are one-half the corresponding values of the old service, or better. The new service uses an improved version of the system employed by NIST in the Consultative Committee for Acoustics, Ultrasound, and Vibration (CCAUV) key comparison CCAUV. A-K3. Measurements are performed using a long and a short air-filled plane-wave coupler. For each frequency in the range 31.5 Hz to 2000 Hz, the reported sensitivity level is the average of data from both couplers. For each frequency above 2000 Hz, the reported sensitivity level is determined with data from the short coupler only. For proof test data in the frequency range 31.5 Hz to 2000 Hz, the average absolute differences between data from the long and the short couplers are much smaller than the expanded uncertainties.

TI Comparison of Two Dimension-Reduction Methods for Network Simulation Models SO JOURNAL OF RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE correlation analysis; dimension reduction; network simulation; principal components analysis AB Experimenters characterize the behavior of simulation models for data communications networks by measuring multiple responses under selected parameter combinations. The resulting multivariate data may include redundant responses reflecting aspects of a smaller number of underlying behaviors. Reducing the dimension of multivariate responses can reveal the most significant model behaviors, allowing subsequent analyses to focus on one response per behavior. This paper investigates two methods for reducing dimension in multivariate data generated from simulation models. One method combines correlation analysis and clustering. The second method uses principal components analysis. We apply both methods to reduce a 22-dimensional dataset generated by a network simulator. We identify issues that an analyst must decide, and we compare the reductions suggested by the methods. We have used these methods to identify significant behaviors in simulated networks, and we suspect they may be applied to reduce the dimension of empirical data measured from real networks.

TI Improve the Strength of PLA/HA Composite Through the Use of Surface Initiated Polymerization and Phosphonic Acid Coupling Agent SO JOURNAL OF RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bioresorbable; composite; hydroxyapatite; interface; mechanical; PLA; polymerization ID MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES; INORGANIC FILLERS; LACTIC-ACID; IN-VITRO; HYDROXYAPATITE; BONE; POLY(L-LACTIDE); PARTICLES; POLYMERS; CEMENT AB Bioresorbable composite made from degradable polymers, e. g., polylactide (PLA), and bioactive calcium phosphates, e. g., hydroxyapatite (HA), are clinically desirable for bone fixation, repair and tissue engineering because they do not need to be removed by surgery after the bone heals. However, preparation of PLA/HA composite from non-modified HA usually results in mechanical strength reductions due to a weak interface between PLA and HA. In this study, a calcium-phosphate/phosphonate hybrid shell was developed to introduce a greater amount of reactive hydroxyl groups onto the HA particles. Then, PLA was successfully grafted on HA by surface-initiated polymerization through the non-ionic surface hydroxyl groups. Thermogravimetric analysis indiated that the amount of grafted PLA on HA can be up to 7 %, which is about 50 % greater than that from the literature. PLA grafted HA shows significantly different pH dependent zeta-potential and particle size profiles from those of uncoated HA. By combining the phosphonic acid coupling agent and surface initiated polymerization, PLA could directly link to HA through covalent bond so that the interfacial interaction in the PLA/HA composite can be significantly improved. The diametral tensile strength of PLA/HA composite prepared from PLA-grafted HA was found to be over twice that of the composite prepared from the non-modified HA. Moreover, the tensile strength of the improved composite was 23 % higher than that of PLA alone. By varying additional variables, this approach has the potential to produce bioresorbable composites with improved mechanical properties that are in the range of natural bones, and can have wide applications for bone fixation and repair in load-bearing areas.

Crosby, III TI Effects of Landfall Location and the Approach Angle of a Cyclone Vortex Encountering a Mesoscale Mountain Range SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL CYCLONES; TAIWAN OROGRAPHY; FLOW; ISLAND; COORDINATE; DEFLECTION; TYPHOONS; TERRAIN; MOTION; RIDGE AB The orographic effects of landfall location, approach angle, and their combination on track deflection during the passage of a cyclone vortex over a mesoscale mountain range are investigated using idealized model simulations. For an elongated mesoscale mountain range, the local vorticity generation, driving the cyclone vortex track deflection, is more dominated by vorticity advection upstream of the mountain range, by vorticity stretching over the lee side and its immediate downstream area, and by vorticity advection again far downstream of the mountain as it steers the vortex back to its original direction of movement. The vorticity advection upstream of the mountain range is caused by the flow splitting associated with orographic blocking. It is found that the ideally simulated cyclone vortex tracks compare reasonably well with observed tracks of typhoons over Taiwan's Central Mountain Range (CMR). In analyzing the relative vorticity budget, the authors found that jumps in the vortex path are largely governed by stretching on the lee side of the mountain. Based on the vorticity equation, this stretching occurs where fluid columns descend the lee slope so that the rate of stretching is governed mostly by the flow speed and the terrain slope. In other words, the maximum stretching and associated track jump are located on the faster side of the vortex. In the type E and N landfalling tracks, the faster winds are well north of the mountain crest, and the vortex track has very little change across the mountain. For the S case, however, the stronger winds are near the center of the ridge, and the track jump is much larger. For the NE case, the jump in the vortex track occurs once the vortex center shifts south of the ridge. For the SE case, there is considerable stretching, but it is aligned with the original track, so there is no jump in track.

TI Temperature and Water Vapor Variance Scaling in Global Models: Comparisons to Satellite and Aircraft Data SO JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES LA English DT Article ID ATMOSPHERIC ENERGY-SPECTRUM; SOUTHEAST PACIFIC STRATOCUMULUS; QUASI-GEOSTROPHIC MODEL; BOUNDARY-LAYER; CLOUD SCHEME; TURBULENCE; CLIMATE; SIMULATION; VARIABILITY; CONVECTION AB Observations of the scale dependence of height-resolved temperature T and water vapor q variability are valuable for improved subgrid-scale climate model parameterizations and model evaluation. Variance spectral benchmarks for T and q obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) are compared to those generated by state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction "analyses'' and "free-running'' climate model simulations with spatial resolution comparable to AIRS. The T and q spectra from both types of models are generally too steep, with small-scale variance up to several factors smaller than AIRS. However, the two model analyses more closely resemble AIRS than the two free-running model simulations. Scaling exponents obtained for AIRS column water vapor (CWV) and height-resolved layers of q are also compared to the superparameterized Community Atmospheric Model (SP-CAM), highlighting large differences in the magnitude of CWV variance and the relative flatness of height-resolved q scaling in SP-CAM. Height-resolved q spectra obtained from aircraft observations during the Variability of the American Monsoon Systems Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx) demonstrate changes in scaling exponents that depend on the observations' proximity to the base of the subsidence inversion with scale breaks that occur at approximately the dominant cloud scale (similar to 10-30 km). This suggests that finer spatial resolution requirements must be considered for future satellite observations of T and q than those currently planned for infrared and microwave satellite sounders.

In this study, we calculate a number of size-based indicators for the Haitian fishery at the remote Navassa Island, where a reef fish visual census (RVC) data set is available over an 8-year study period (2002-2009). We also calculate the slope of the size spectrum indicator within a Bayesian framework, which allows for potential biases inherent in the RVC method to be accounted for in credibility intervals around parameter estimates. Results of our analyses suggest that stocks targeted by traps declined from 2002 to 2004, followed by a period of increase from 2006 to 2009. The slope of the size spectrum declined from 2002 to 2004 and remained constant for the remainder of the study period, and this pattern was driven by a decrease in abundance of larger species targeted by hook-and-line. Analysis of the Lmax spectrum also indicated a decrease in the occurrence rates of larger species throughout the study period. Our methods can be applied to fisheries in other areas where limited fishery-independent data and no fishery-dependent data are available. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In the present study wild animals, from the USA were examined for T. gondii infection. Tissues of naturally exposed animals were bioassayed in mice for isolation of viable parasites. Viable T. gondii was isolated from 31 animals including, to our knowledge for the first time, from a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), five gray wolves (Canis lupus), a woodrat (Neotoma micro pus). and five Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus). Additionally, 66 T. gondii isolates obtained previously, but not genetically characterised, were revived in mice. Toxoplasma gondii DNA isolated from these 97 samples (31 + 66) was characterised using 11 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers (SAG, 5'- and 3'-SAG2, alt.SAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c22-8, c29-2, L358, PK1 and Apico). A total of 95 isolates were successfully genotyped. In addition to clonal Types II, and III, 12 different genotypes were found. These genotype data were combined with 74 T. gondii isolates previously characterised from wildlife from North America and a composite data set of 169 isolates comprised 22 genotypes, including clonal Types II, Ill and 20 atypical genotypes. Phylogenetic network analysis showed limited diversity with dominance of a recently designated fourth clonal type (Type 12) in North America, followed by the Type II and III lineages. These three major lineages together accounted for 85% of strains in North America. The Type 12 lineage includes previously identified Type A and X strains from sea otters. This study revealed that the Type 12 lineage accounts for 46.7% (79/169) of isolates and is dominant in wildlife of North America. No clonal Type I strain was identified among these wildlife isolates. These results suggest that T. gondii strains in wildlife from North America have limited diversity, with the occurrence of only a few major clonal types.

We also proposed a novel parsimonious mathematical representation of macroparasite distribution, congestion rate, which (i) is easier to use than traditional models, and (ii) is based on Malthusian parameters rather than probability theory. Heavy infections of Myxobolus insidiosus (Myxozoa) and metacercariae of Nanophyetus salmincola and Apophallus sp. occurred in parr (subyearlings) from the lower mainstem of this river collected in 2007 and 2008. Smolts (yearlings) collected in 2007-2010 always harboured fewer Apophallus sp. with host mortality recognised as a function of intensity for this parasite. Mean intensity of Apophallus sp. in lower mainstem parr was 753 per fish in 2007 and 856 per fish in 2003, while parr from the tributaries had a mean of only 37 or 13 parasites per fish, respectively. Mean intensity of this parasite in smolts ranged between 47 and 251 parasites per fish. Over-dispersion (variance to mean ratios) of Apophallus sp. was always lower in smolts compared with all parr combined or lower mainstem parr. Retrospective analysis based on smolt data using both the traditional negative binomial truncation technique and our proposed congestion rate model showed identical results. The estimated threshold level for mortality involving Apophallus sp. was at 400-500 parasites per fish using both analytical methods. Unique to this study, we documented the actual existence of these heavy infections prior to the predicted mortality. Most of the lower mainstem parr (approximately 75%) had infections above this level. Heavy infections of Apophallus sp. metacercariae may be an important contributing factor to the high over-wintering mortality previously reported for these fish that grow and develop in this section of the river. Analyses using the same methods for M. insidiosus and N. salmincola generally pointed to minimal parasite-associated mortality.

To further improve solar cell performance, a thorough understanding of structure-property relationships associated with PTB7/fullerene and related organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices is crucial. Traditionally, OPV active layers are viewed as an interpenetrating network of pure polymers and fullerenes with discrete interfaces. Here we show that the active layer of PTB7/fullerene OPV devices in fact involves hierarchical nanomorphologies ranging from several nanometers of crystallites to tens of nanometers of nanocrystallite aggregates in PTB7-rich and fullerene-rich domains, themselves hundreds of nanometers in size. These hierarchical nanomorphologies are coupled to significantly enhanced exciton dissociation, which consequently contribute to photocurrent, indicating that the nanostructural characteristics at multiple length scales is one of the key factors determining the performance of PTB7 copolymer, and likely most polymer/fullerene systems, in OPV devices.

In this study, monthly baseflow stream samples from 15 agricultural subwatersheds of the Choptank River in Maryland USA (2005 to 2007) were characterized for nutrients, herbicides, and herbicide transformation products. High-resolution digital maps of land use and forested wetlands were derived from remote sensing imagery. Examination of landscape metrics and water quality data, partitioned according to hydrogeomorphic class, provided insight into the fate, delivery, and transport mechanisms associated with agricultural pollutants. Mean Nitrate-N concentrations (4.9 mg/L) were correlated positively with percent agriculture (R-2 = 0.56) and negatively with percent forest (R-2 = 0.60). Concentrations were greater (p = 0.0001) in the well-drained upland (WDU) hydrogeomorphic region than in poorly drained upland (PDU), reflecting increased denitrification and reduced agricultural land use intensity in the PDU landscape due to the prevalence of hydric soils. Atrazine and metolachlor concentrations (mean 029 mu g/L and 0.19 mu g/L) were also greater (p = 0.0001) in WDU subwatersheds than in PDU subwatersheds. Springtime herbicide concentrations exhibited a strong, positive correlation (R-2 = 0.90) with percent forest in the WDU subwatersheds but not in the PDU subwatersheds. In addition, forested riparian stream buffers in the WDU were more prevalent than in the PDU where forested patches are typically not located near streams, suggesting an alternative delivery mechanism whereby volatilized herbicides are captured by the riparian forest canopy and subsequently washed off during rainfall. Orthophosphate, CIAT (6-chloro-N-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), CEAT (6-chloro-N-ethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), and MESA (2-[(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl) (2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)amino]-2-oxoethanesulfonic acid) were also analyzed. These findings will assist efforts in targeting implementation of conservation practices to the most environmentally-critical areas within watersheds to achieve water quality improvements in a cost-effective manner.

We observe direction-controlled Cu diffusion during unconventional galvanic replacement reactions between surface-limited Cu nanocrystals (NCs) and HAuCl4. Using presynthesized Cu-Cu1.81S hetero-oligomer and Cu-Cu2S heterodimer NCs as templates and reactants, the controlled addition of HAuCl4 leads to the preferential outward diffusion of Cu, visualized by the formation of single-crystalline and straight, or polycrystalline and kinked, CuAu nanowires, respectively. The time dependent growth of these nanowires enables determination of nanoscale diffusion coefficients of Cu during these processes, for the first time. C1 [Liu, Yonglin; Walker, Angela R.

TI Projecting uncertainty onto marine megafauna trajectories SO DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART I-OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH PAPERS LA English DT Article DE Marine megafauna pathways; Active & passive migration; Pathway uncertainty; Biologging; Sea turtles ID SEA-TURTLES; MOVEMENT; BEHAVIOR; CURRENTS AB In this study, a method is proposed for estimating the uncertainty of a Lagrangian pathway calculated from an undersampled ocean surface velocity field. The primary motivation and application for this method is the differentiation between active and passive movements for sea turtles whose trajectories are observed with satellite telemetry. Synthetic trajectories are launched within a reconstructed surface velocity field and integrated forward in time to produce likely trajectories of an actual turtle or drifter. Uncertainties in both the initial conditions at launch and the velocity field along the trajectory are used to yield an envelope of possible synthetic trajectories for each actual trajectory. The juxtaposition of the actual trajectory with the resulting cloud of synthetic trajectories provides a means to distinguish between active and passive movements of the turtle. The uncertainty estimates provided by this model may lead to improvements in our understanding of where and when turtles are engaged in specific behaviors (i.e. migration vs. foraging)-for which potential management efforts may vary accordingly.

The main cause of severe ice cover over the Bohai Sea was the strong negative AO. Six of seven winters with severe ice were associated with a strong negative AO during the period 1954-2010. The Siberian high (SH) in the 2009/10 winter was close to normal. The influence of El Nino on the Bohai Sea was not significant. In contrast, the mild ice conditions in the Great Lakes were mainly caused by the strong El Nino event. Although the negative AO generally produces significant colder surface air temperature (SAT) and heavy ice cover over the Great Lakes, when it coincided with a strong El Nino event during the 2009/10 winter the El Nino-induced Pacific-North America (PNA)-like pattern dominated the midlatitudes and was responsible for the flattening of the ridge-trough system over North America, leading to warmer-than-normal temperatures and mild ice conditions over the Great Lakes. This comparative study revealed that interannual variability of SAT in North America, including the Great Lakes, is effectively influenced by El Nino events through a PNA or PNA-like pattern whereas the interannual variability of SAT in northeastern China, including the Bohai Sea area, was mainly controlled by AO and SH.

TI The continuum absorption in H2O+N-2 mixtures in the 2000-3250 cm(-1) spectral region at temperatures from 326 to 363 K SO JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE SPECTROSCOPY & RADIATIVE TRANSFER LA English DT Article DE Atmospheric absorption; Water vapor IR spectra; Continuum; MT_CKD model ID WATER-VAPOR; MU-M AB The absorption spectra of H2O+N-2 mixtures, as well, as the spectra of pure gases, have been measured using a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer at a resolution of 0.1 cm(-1). The sample temperatures were 326, 339, 352, and 363 K. Water vapor pressures varied from 8 (60 torr) to 34.5 kPa (259 torr). The nitrogen pressure was kept constant at about 414 kPa (4.1 atm). The path length was 100 m. The continuum absorption coefficients obtained in the spectral range 2000-3250 cm(-1) (3.1-5 mu m) do not depend significantly on temperature, as is predicted by the well known MT_CKD model. But there are significant deviations in the continuum spectral behavior and magnitude. Around 2050 cm(-1) the measured absorption coefficients C-f are about two times larger than those of the model. This deviation grows rapidly at shorter wave lengths, reaching a maximum of two orders of magnitude in the middle of the window at 2500 cm(-1). At this point, the deviation starts to decrease significantly and around 3100 cm(-1) our results are in agreement with the MT_CKD model. This behavior of the deviation is due to the broad and structureless feature in the region of the nitrogen fundamental band. Most likely, this feature is the N-2 fundamental band component, induced by collisions between H2O and N-2 molecules. The data obtained and a comparison with the results from the other available sources are presented. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Baranov, Yu.

Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity were high, and three major phylogeographic lineages (sequence divergences ca. 1.5%) were detected. Using a variety of phylogenetic methods, coalescent reasoning, and molecular dating interpreted in conjunction with paleoclimatic and physiographic evidence, we infer that the genetic make-up of extant populations of C. pallasii was shaped by Pleistocene environmental impacts on the historical demography of this species. A deep genealogical split that cleanly distinguishes populations in the western vs. eastern North Pacific probably originated as a vicariant separation associated with a glacial cycle that drove the species southward and isolated two ancestral populations in Asia and North America. Another deep genealogical split may have involved either a vicariant isolation of a third herring lineage (perhaps originally in the Gulf of California) or it may have resulted simply from the long coalescent times that are possible in large populations. Coalescent analyses showed that all the three evolutionary lineages of C. pallasii experienced major expansions in their most recent histories after having remained more stable in the preceding periods. Independent of the molecular calibration chosen, populations of C. pallasii appear to have remained stable or grown throughout the periods that covered at least two major glaciations, and probably more.

TI Effect of AlN buffer layer properties on the morphology and polarity of GaN nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy SO JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID PIEZORESPONSE FORCE MICROSCOPY; 0001 SAPPHIRE; FILMS; NANOCOLUMNS; SI(111); AIN AB Low-temperature AlN buffer layers grown via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si (111) were found to significantly affect the subsequent growth morphology of GaN nanowires. The AlN buffer layers exhibited nanowire-like columnar protrusions, with their size, shape, and tilt determined by the AlN V/III flux ratio. GaN nanowires were frequently observed to adopt the structural characteristics of the underlying AlN columns, including the size and the degree of tilt. Piezoresponse force microscopy and polarity-sensitive etching indicate that the AlN films and the protruding columns have a mixed crystallographic polarity. Convergent beam electron diffraction indicates that GaN nanowires are Ga-polar, suggesting that Al-polar columns are nanowire nucleation sites for Ga-polar nanowires. GaN nanowires of low density could be grown on AlN buffers that were predominantly N-polar with isolated Al-polar columns, indicating a high growth rate for Ga-polar nanowires and suppressed growth of N-polar nanowires under typical growth conditions. AlN buffer layers grown under slightly N-rich conditions (V/III flux ratio = 1.0 to 1.3) were found to provide a favorable growth surface for low-density, coalescence-free nanowires.

TI Observed Decadal Changes in Downward Wave Coupling between the Stratosphere and Troposphere in the Southern Hemisphere SO JOURNAL OF CLIMATE LA English DT Article ID PLANETARY-WAVES; INTERANNUAL VARIABILITY; POLAR VORTICES; HIGH-LATITUDES; CLIMATE-CHANGE; CIRCULATION AB Downward wave coupling dominates the intraseasonal dynamical coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere in the Southern Hemisphere. The coupling occurs during late winter and spring when the stratospheric basic state forms a well-defined meridional waveguide, which is bounded above by a reflecting surface. This basic-state configuration is favorable for planetary wave reflection and guides the reflected waves back down to the troposphere, where they impact wave structures. In this study decadal changes in downward wave coupling are analyzed using the Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) dataset. A cross-spectral correlation analysis, applied to geopotential height fields, and a wave geometry diagnostic, applied to zonal-mean zonal wind and temperature data, are used to understand decadal changes in planetary wave propagation. It is found that downward wave 1 coupling from September to December has increased over the last three decades, owing to significant increases at the beginning and end of this 4-month period. The increased downward wave coupling is caused by both an earlier onset of the vertically bounded meridional waveguide configuration and a persistence of this configuration into December. The latter is associated with the observed delay in vortex breakup. The results point to an additional dynamical mechanism whereby the stratosphere has influenced the tropospheric climate in the Southern Hemisphere.

Advancing the current understanding and simulation of the MJO using state-of-the-art climate data and modeling systems is thus a necessary goal for improving MJO prediction capability. MJO variability is assessed in NOAA/NCEP reanalyses and two versions of the Climate Forecast System (CFS), CFS version 1 (CFSv1) and its update version 2 (CFSv2). The analysis leans on a variety of diagnostic procedures and includes MJO sensitivity to varying El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phases. It is found that significant improvements have been realized in the representation of MJO variations in the new NCEP Climate Forecast System reanalysis (CFSR) as evidenced by outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) power spectral analysis and more coherent propagation characteristics of precipitation and 850-hPa zonal winds over the Eastern Hemisphere in CFSR-only depictions. Conversely, while modest improvements are realized in the CFSv2 as compared to CFSv1, in general the simulation of the MJO continues to be a challenge. Both versions produce strong eastward propagating variance of convection and wind fields in the intraseasonal frequency band. However, the simulated MJO propagates slower than the observed with difficulties traversing the Maritime Continent into the western Pacific, as noted in many previous modeling studies. The CFS shows robust intraseasonal simulations over the west Pacific during El Nino years with diminished simulation capability over the Indian Ocean during La Nina years. This is likely a manifestation of the preference for La Nina MJO activity to occur over the Indian Ocean and the simulation challenges over that domain.

Bear Lake is a hypereutrophic system that flows into mesotrophic Muskegon Lake. Total microcystins (MC) in Bear Lake (mean, 1.66 mu g/L) were composed of multiple structural analogs: 43% MC-LR, 50% MC-RR, and 7% MC-YR. Total microcystins in Muskegon Lake (mean, 0.52 mu g/L) consisted of MC-LR (76%), MC-RR (14%), MC-YR (6%), and MC-LA (3%). The lakes were dominated by the cyanobacteria Microcystis spp., which accounted for 75% of phytoplankton biovolume in Bear Lake and >90% in Muskegon Lake. Total microcystin concentration was positively correlated with cyanobacteria biovolume and turbidity (Muskegon Lake) and total phosphorus (Bear Lake), while negatively correlated with ammonia (Bear Lake) and nitrate (both lakes). The relationships between microcystins and environmental factors differed between lakes, despite hydrologic connectivity, suggesting that local conditions have a greater influence on toxin production than regional effects. Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii was found in both systems; however, the assemblage does not appear to be capable of producing cylindrospermopsin due to the absence of the PKS gene. Although the Bear Lake discharge appears to be the source of C raciborskii, the physical/chemical properties of Muskegon Lake (lower turbidity and temperature, higher nitrate) may constrain the growth of this invasive species. Thus, local conditions in each lake are important in determining which species are capable of maintaining a viable population. (C) 2011 International Association for Great Lakes Research.

For effective decision-making it is important that these model-based forecasts include an accurate expression of the forecast uncertainty, as well as information regarding the model forecasting skill. We provide an assessment of water level forecasts from 1997 through 2009 that were made using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction System (AHPS). A visual comparison between observed and forecast water levels suggests that AHPS generally captures seasonal and inter-annual patterns. A more quantitative assessment based on the percentage of observations within 90% prediction intervals, however, indicates that AHPS generally underestimates the observed variability of Great Lakes water levels. This assessment provides a benchmark for forecast performance against which alternative model structures (including future evolutions of AHPS) can be tested, and a basis to identify and prioritize the implementation of those alternatives. Including a calibrated model error term into the AHPS framework, to accommodate the underestimated variability, is a priority for short-term development and research, and represents one step toward more accurately quantifying forecast uncertainty. Our results also underscore the importance of storing historical forecasts and the data from which they were derived to serve as a basis for assessing model performance and prioritizing future model improvements.

To study this torrential rainfall process, the partitioning method of Q vector is developed, in which a moist Q vector is first separated into a dry ageostrophic Q vector (Q(D)) and a diabatic-heating component. The dry ageostrophic Q vector is further partitioned along isothermal lines in the natural coordinate to identify different scale forcing in adiabatic atmosphere, and the large-scale and convective condensational heating in non-uniform saturated atmosphere, convective condensational heating, and Laplace of diabatic heating that includes radiative heating and other heating and cooling processes, are calculated to study the forcing from diabatic heating. The effects of the environmental conditions on the development of the rainfall processes are diagnosed by performing the partitioning of Q vector based on 6-hourly NCEP/NCAR Final Analysis (FNL) data with the horizontal resolution of 1 degrees x 1 degrees. The results include the following: (1) a low-pressure inverted trough associated with the landfall of Typhoon Nuri (2008), a strong southwesterly jet along the western side of the subtropical high, and an eastward-propagating westerly low-pressure trough provide favorable synoptic conditions for the development of torrential rainfall; (2) the analysis of Q(D) vector showed that the upward motions forced by the convergence of Q(D) vector in the lower troposphere (1000-600 hPa) favor the development of torrential rainfall. When Q(D) vector converges in the upper troposphere (500-100 hPa), upward motions in the whole air column intensify significantly to accelerate the development of torrential rainfall; (3) the partitioning analysis of Q(D) vector reveals that large-scale forcing persistently favors the development of torrential rainfall whereas the mesoscale forcing speeds up the torrential rainfall; (4) the calculations of large-scale condensational heating in non-uniform saturated atmosphere, convective condensational heating, and Laplace of diabatic heating showed that the forcing related to diabatic heating has the positive feedback on the convective development, and such positive feedback decays and dissipates when the convective system propagates eastward and weakens.

A bond deficiency (BD), which is the proposed defect present in all metallic glasses, is introduced into the CAM equations. Like vacancies in a crystalline solid, BDs are thermodynamically stable entities because of the increase in entropy associated with their creation, and there is an equilibrium concentration present in the glassy phase. When applied to Cu-Zr and Ni-Zr binary metallic glasses, the concentration of thermally induced BDs surrounding Zr atoms reaches a relatively constant value at the glass transition temperature, regardless of composition within a given glass system. Using this "critical" defect concentration, the predicted temperatures at which the glass transition is expected to occur are in good agreement with the experimentally determined glass transition temperatures for both alloy systems.

This study addresses the importance of stratospheric intrusions contributing to enhanced hourly average surface O(3) concentrations (i.e., >= 50 ppb) at 12 O(3) monitoring stations in the western and northern tier of the US for 2006, 2007, and 2008. The Lagrangian Analysis Tool (LAGRANTO) trajectory model identified specific days when stratosphere-to-troposphere transport was optimal to elevate surface O(3) levels. The coincidences between the number of days with a daily maximum hourly average O(3) concentration >= 50 ppb and stratosphere-to-troposphere transport to surface (STT-S > 0) were quantified. The high-elevation site at Yellowstone National Park (NP) in Wyoming exhibited the most coincidences (i.e., more than 19 days a month) during the spring and summer for hourly average O(3) concentrations >= 50 ppb with STT-S> 0 of the 12 monitoring sites. At this site, the daily maximum hourly springtime average O(3) concentrations were usually in the 60-70 ppb range. The maximum daily 8-h average concentrations mostly ranged from 50 to 65 ppb. At many of the lower-elevation sites, there was a preference for O(3) enhancements to be coincident with STT-s > 0 during the springtime, although summertime occurrences were sometimes observed. When statistically significant coincidences occurred, the daily maximum hourly average concentrations were mostly in the 50-65 ppb range and the daily maximum 8-h average concentrations were usually in the 50-62 ppb range. For many cases, the coincidences between the enhancements and the STT-S events occurred over a continuous multiday period. Supplementary observations, such as (1) the greater frequency of O(3) concentration enhancements occurring during the springtime versus other times of the year, (2) the elevation dependency of the frequency of enhancements, (3) the year-to-year variability, (4) the timing of the hour-by-hour occurrences of the O(3) concentration enhancements within and across monitoring sites, and (5) the detailed analyses of O(3) enhancement events at specific sites, provide additional support for our modeling and statistical results. Our analysis provides an important step in better understanding the variability of natural background O(3) concentrations. The study has provided insight into stratospheric intrusions, with emphasis on the combined role of quasi-isentropic large-scale advection and mesoscale boundary layer turbulence for stratospheric air influencing enhanced surface O(3).

TI Impact of adaptive thermal comfort on climatic suitability of natural ventilation in office buildings SO ENERGY AND BUILDINGS LA English DT Article DE Natural ventilation; Green buildings; Hybrid ventilation; Design method; Climate suitability; Sustainable building; Thermal comfort; HVAC systems AB In earlier work [1]. NIST developed a climate suitability analysis method to evaluate the potential of a given location for direct ventilative cooling and nighttime ventilative cooling. The direct ventilative cooling may be provided by either a natural ventilation system or a fan-powered economizer system. The climate suitability analysis is based on a general single-zone thermal model of a building configured to make optimal use of direct and/or nighttime ventilative cooling. This paper describes a new tool implementing this climate suitability methodology and its capability to consider an adaptive thermal comfort option and presents results from its application to analyze a variety of U.S. climates. The adaptive thermal comfort option has the potential to substantially increase the effectiveness of natural ventilation cooling for many U.S. cities. However, this impact is very dependent on the acceptable humidity range. If a dewpoint limit is used, the increase is significant for a dry climate such as Phoenix but much smaller for humid climates such as Miami. While ASHRAE Standard 55 does not impose a limit on humidity when using the adaptive thermal comfort option, the necessity of limiting humidity for other reasons needs to be considered.

This translation is not straightforward because the decision system is nonlinear. This paper develops a prototype decision support system (DSS) to systematically evaluate the translation of streamflow forecast skills to water resource operational variables and decision variables in the Gunnison River basin (GRB). The DSS consists of two main modules: (1) a multimodel ensemble streamflow forecast module that uses large-scale climate information and issues forecast ensembles, and (2) a decision support module (developed in the generalized decision tool, RiverWare) that captures the seasonal operations and management of the GRB water resources system. Ensembles of streamflow forecast scenarios drive the decision support module, resulting in an ensemble of various variables pertaining to operations of the reservoirs. The DSS is run with streamflow forecast ensembles for the spring season issued on January 1 and April 1 and also the climatological and observed streamflows. The skills of the various variables, e.g., power generated and end of season reservoir storages, are computed. The results demonstrate that the skills from the streamflow forecasts are well transferred to the operational variables, enabling more effective decision making as early as January, when the snow information is partial at best. This integrated and comprehensive prototype DSS is believed to be one of the early attempts to demonstrate the utility of streamflow forecasts in a decision-making context. This DSS framework can be easily transferred to other basins. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)WR.1943-5452.0000133. (C) 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.

TI The Impact of Dropwindsonde Data from the THORPEX Pacific Area Regional Campaign and the NOAA Hurricane Field Program on Tropical Cyclone Forecasts in the Global Forecast System SO MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW LA English DT Article ID WAVE ENERGY DISPERSION; SYNOPTIC SURVEILLANCE; PREEXISTING TYPHOON; TRACK FORECASTS; PREDICTION; DOTSTAR; MODELS; BASIN AB Four aircraft released dropwindsondes in and around tropical cyclones in the west Pacific during The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) Pacific Area Regional Campaign (T-PARC) in 2008 and the Dropwindsonde Observations for Typhoon Surveillance near the Taiwan Region (DOTSTAR); multiple aircraft concurrently participated in similar missions in the Atlantic. Previous studies have treated each region separately and have focused on the tropical cyclones whose environments were sampled. The large number of missions and tropical cyclones in both regions, and additional tropical cyclones in the east Pacific and Indian Oceans, allows for the global impact of these observations on tropical cyclone track forecasts to be studied. The study shows that there are unintended global consequences to local changes in initial conditions, in this case due to the assimilation of dropwindsonde data in tropical cyclone environments. These global impacts are mainly due to the spectral nature of the model system. These differences should be small and slightly positive, since improved local initial conditions should lead to small global forecast improvements. However, the impacts on tropical cyclones far removed from the data are shown to be as large and positive as those on the tropical cyclones specifically targeted for improved track forecasts. Causes of this unexpected result are hypothesized, potentially providing operational forecasters tools to identify when large remote impacts from surveillance missions might occur.

Convectively coupled Kelvin waves are often embedded within the MJO, but their role in tropical cyclogenesis remains uncertain. This case study identifies the influences of the MJO and a series of Kelvin waves on the formation of two tropical cyclones. Typhoons Rammasun and Chataan developed in the western North Pacific on 28 June 2002. Two weeks earlier, conditions had been unfavorable for tropical cyclogenesis because of uniform trade easterlies and a lack of organized convection. The easterlies gave way to equatorial westerlies as the convective envelope of the Madden-Julian oscillation moved into the region. A series of three Kelvin waves modulated the development of the westerlies. Cyclonic potential vorticity (PV) developed in a strip between the growing equatorial westerlies and the persistent trade easterlies farther poleward. Rammasun and Chataan emerged from the apparent breakdown of this strip. The cyclonic PV developed in association with diabatic heating from both the MJO and the Kelvin waves. The tropical cyclones also developed during the largest superposition of equatorial westerlies from the MJO and the Kelvin waves. This chain of events suggests that the MJO and the Kelvin waves each played a role in the development of Rammasun and Chataan.

A basic benchmark and five other test cases are simulated in a two-dimensional framework using the same initial state, which is based on conditions during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 6 of the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX), in which intense mountain-wave activity was observed. All of the models use an identical horizontal resolution of 1 km and the same vertical resolution. The six simulated test cases use various terrain heights: a 100-m bell-shaped hill, a 1000-m idealized ridge that is steeper on the lee slope, a 2500-m ridge with the same terrain shape, and a cross-Sierra terrain profile. The models are tested with both free-slip and no-slip lower boundary conditions. The results indicate a surprisingly diverse spectrum of simulated mountain-wave characteristics including lee waves, hydraulic-like jump features, and gravity wave breaking. The vertical velocity standard deviation is twice as large in the free-slip experiments relative to the no-slip simulations. Nevertheless, the no-slip simulations also exhibit considerable variations in the wave characteristics. The results imply relatively low predictability of key characteristics of topographically forced flows such as the strength of downslope winds and stratospheric wave breaking. The vertical flux of horizontal momentum, which is a domain-integrated quantity, exhibits considerable spread among the models, particularly for the experiments with the 2500-m ridge and Sierra terrain. The differences among the various model simulations, all initialized with identical initial states, suggest that model dynamical cores may be an important component of diversity for the design of mesoscale ensemble systems for topographically forced flows. The intermodel differences are significantly larger than sensitivity experiments within a single modeling system. C1 [Doyle, James D.] USN, Res Lab, Marine Meteorol Div, Monterey, CA 93943 USA.

The HPV formulation in terrain-following coordinates can be applied directly to model-simulated velocity and thermodynamic fields on the model's original terrain-following grid to avoid coordinate transformation and eliminate grid interpolation error.

The linear-algebra-based procedures of Hendler et al. (J. Phys. Chem. B, 105,3319-3228(2001)) for obtaining clean absolute visible spectra of bR photocycle intermediates were adapted for use with IR data. This led to isolation, for the first time, of corresponding clean absolute IR spectra, including the separation of the M intermediate into its M-F and M-S components from parallel photocycles. This in turn permitted the computation of clean IR difference spectra between pairs of successive intermediates, allowing for the most rigorous analysis to date of changes occurring at each step of the photocycle. The statistical accuracy of the spectral calculation methods allows us to identify, with great confidence, new spectral features. One of these is a very strong differential IR band at 1650 cm(-1) for the L intermediate at room temperature that is not present in analogous L spectra measured at cryogenic temperatures. This band, in one of the noisiest spectral regions, has not been identified in any previous time-resolved ER papers, although retrospectively it is apparent as one of the strongest L absorbance changes in their raw data, considered collectively. Additionally, our results are most consistent with Arg82 as the primary proton-release group (PRG), rather than a protonated water cluster or H-bonded grouping of carboxylic residues. Notably, the Arg82 deprotonation occurs exclusively in the M-F pathway of the parallel cycles model of the photocycle. C1 [Hendler, Richard W.] NCI, Cell Biol Lab, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

TI Modeling of the cloud and radiation processes observed during SHEBA SO ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Arctic climate; Clouds; Microphysics; Radiation processes; Ice nuclei; Acid coating ID REGIONAL CLIMATE MODELS; BULK MICROPHYSICS PARAMETERIZATION; ARCTIC CLOUD; ICE-NUCLEATION; ANNUAL CYCLE; SEA-ICE; PART I; MINERAL DUST; SURFACE; SCHEME AB Six microphysics schemes implemented in the climate version of the Environment Canada's Global Multiscale Environmental (GEM) model are used to simulate the cloud and radiation processes observed during Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) field experiment. The simplest microphysics scheme (SUN) has one prognostic variable: the total cloud water content. The second microphysics scheme (MLO) has 12 prognostic variables. The four other microphysics schemes are modified versions of MLO. A new parameterization for heterogeneous ice nucleation based on laboratory experiments is included in these versions of MW. One is for uncoated ice nuclei (ML-NAC) and another is for sulfuric acid coated ice nuclei (ML-AC). ML-AC and ML-NAC have been developed to distinguish non-polluted and polluted air masses, the latter being common over the Arctic during winter and spring. A sensitivity study, in which the dust concentration is reduced by a factor 5, is also performed to assess the sensitivity of the results to the dust concentration in ML-AC-test and ML-NAC-test. Results show that SUN, ML-AC and ML-AC-test reproduce quite well the downward longwave radiation and cloud radiative forcing during the cold season. The good results obtained with SUN are due to compensating errors. It overestimates cloud fraction and underestimates cloud liquid water path during winter. ML-AC and ML-AC-test reproduces quite well all these variables and their relationships. MLO. ML-NAC and ML-NAC-test underestimate the cloud liquid water path and cloud fraction during the cold season, which leads to an underestimation of the downward longwave radiation at surface. During summer, all versions of the model underestimate the downward shortwave radiation at surface. ML-AC and ML-NAC overestimate the total cloud water during the warm season, however, they reproduce relatively well the relationships between cloud radiative forcing and cloud microstructure, which is not the case for the most simple scheme SUN.

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(epsilon-caprolactone), the final reaction product is also consistent with the equilibrium dictated by the propagation and degradation rates. When the modeling framework described here is used, further experiments can be designed to isolate key reaction steps and provide methods for improving the efficiency of enzyme polymerization.

Unfortunately, a wide range of relative humidities can exist in the samples after this relatively short conditioning period and such variation may considerably influence the test results. Three main variables were studied in this program: the water to cement ratio, the paste volume fraction, and the effect of sample conditioning. The results confirm that water absorption testing is considerably influenced by sample preparation. Samples conditioned at 50% relative humidity can show up to six times greater total absorption than similar samples conditioned at 80% relative humidity. Samples that were conditioned in the oven at 105 degrees C do not appear to follow a similar trend when compared with specimens conditioned in chambers at lower temperatures for a longer duration. The absorption is also influenced by the volume of paste in the samples. The experiments show that a lack of control on moisture content or lack of consideration of the material composition may lead to a misunderstanding of the actual absorption behavior.

High volume fly ash concretes have been proposed as one potential approach for achieving substantial reductions in cement usage, but their usage is sometimes hampered by reduced early age strengths and dramatically increased setting times. One limitation of the current industry practice is that portland cements are generally only optimized for their performance in a pure cement, as opposed to a blended cement. system. In this paper, a new approach of optimizing the particle sizes of the cement and fly ash for achieving desired performance in a blended product will be presented. By appropriately selecting the particle size distributions of cement and fly ash, equivalent 1 d and 28 d strengths may be achieved with about a 35% volumetric replacement of cement with fly ash, while maintaining the same volume fraction of water in the mixture, thus providing an actual 35% reduction in cement content.

Slaughter, Peter TI On the utility of identification schemes for digital earth science data: an assessment and recommendations SO EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATICS LA English DT Review DE Digital identifiers; Unique Identifiers; Permanent identifiers; Global unique persistent identifiers ID INFORMATION; SYSTEM AB In recent years, a number of data identification technologies have been developed which purport to permanently identify digital objects. In this paper, nine technologies and systems for assigning persistent identifiers are assessed for their applicability to Earth science data (ARKs, DOIs, XRIs, Handles, LSIDs, OIDs, PURLs, URIs/URNs/URLs, and UUIDs). The evaluation used four use cases that focused on the suitability of each scheme to provide Unique Identifiers for Earth science data objects, to provide Unique Locators for the objects, to serve as Citable Locators, and to uniquely identify the scientific contents of data objects if the data were reformatted. Of all the identifier schemes assessed, the one that most closely meets all of the requirements for an Unique Identifier is the UUID scheme. Any of the URL/URI/IRI-based identifier schemes assessed could be used for Unique Locators. Since there are currently no strong market leaders to help make the choice among them, the decision must be based on secondary criteria. While most publications now allow the use of URLs in citations, so that all of the URL/URI/IRI based identification schemes discussed in this paper could potentially be used as a Citable Locator, DOIs are the identification scheme currently adopted by most commercial publishers. None of the identifier schemes assessed here even minimally address identification of scientifically identical numerical data sets under reformatting.

The derived model shows distinct high electrical resistivity (> 1000 Omega m) for the upper crust below the Madurai Granulite Block (MGB) with a gentle dip towards south and a northerly dip below the Kerala Khondalite Block (KKB). The lower crust is resistive below both MGB and KKB while it is moderately conductive (< 500 Omega m) below AKSZ. Our study shows that the AKSZ is a tectonic divide between the MGB to the north and KKB to the south. The results together with an integration of seismic, gravity and heat flow data suggest a high dense and moderately conductive mantle material brought up to the mid-lower crust, and a thermally eroded crust with a flower structure at depth, in conformity with the model of AKSZ as the trace of a collisional suture.

We consider that the output observations and the mode observations are affected by delays not necessarily identical. Our objective is to design optimal estimators for the current state, given current and past observations. We provide a solution to this paradigm by giving an optimal recursive estimator for the state, in the minimum mean square sense, and a finitely parameterized recursive scheme for computing the probability mass function of the current mode conditioned on the observed output. We also show that if the output delay is less then the one in observing the mode, then the optimal state estimation becomes nonlinear in the output observations.

It is an iterative physical inversion system that finds a consistent geophysical solution to fit all radiometric measurements simultaneously. One of the particularities of the system is its applicability in cloudy and precipitating conditions. Although valid, in principle, for all sensors for which the radiative transfer model applies, it has only been tested for passive microwave sensors to date. The Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS) inverts the radiative transfer equation by finding radiometrically appropriate profiles of temperature, moisture, liquid cloud, and hydrometeors, as well as the surface emissivity spectrum and skin temperature. The inclusion of the emissivity spectrum in the state vector makes the system applicable globally, with the only differences between land, ocean, sea ice, and snow backgrounds residing in the covariance matrix chosen to spectrally constrain the emissivity. Similarly, the inclusion of the cloud and hydrometeor parameters within the inverted state vector makes the assimilation/inversion of cloudy and rainy radiances possible, and therefore, it provides an all-weather capability to the system. Furthermore, MiRS is highly flexible, and it could be used as a retrieval tool (independent of numerical weather prediction) or as an assimilation system when combined with a forecast field used as a first guess and/or background. In the MiRS, the fundamental products are inverted first and then are interpreted into secondary or derived products such as sea ice concentration, snow water equivalent (based on the retrieved emissivity) rainfall rate, total precipitable water, integrated cloud liquid amount, and ice water path (based on the retrieved atmospheric and hydrometeor products). The MiRS system was implemented operationally at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 2007 for the NOAA-18 satellite. Since then, it has been extended to run for NOAA-19, Metop-A, and DMSP-F16 and F18 SSMI/S. This paper gives an overview of the system and presents brief results of the assessment effort for all fundamental and derived products.

However, InSAR is affected by variations in round-trip propagation delay due to changes in ionospheric total electron content and in tropospheric humidity and temperature along the signal path. One of the largest sources of uncertainty in estimates of tropospheric path delay is the spatial and temporal variability of water vapor density, which currently limits the quality of InSAR products. This problem can be partially addressed by using a number of SAR interferograms from subsequent satellite overpasses to reduce the degradation in the images or by analyzing a long time series of interferometric phases from permanent scatterers. However, if there is a sudden deformation of the Earth's surface, the detection of which is one of the principal objectives of InSAR measurements over land, the effect of water vapor variations cannot be removed, reducing the quality of the interferometric products. In those cases, high-resolution information on the atmospheric water vapor content and its variation with time can be crucial to mitigate the effect of wet-tropospheric path delay variations. This paper describes the use of a ground-based microwave radiometer network to retrieve 3-D water vapor density with fine spatial and temporal resolution, which can be used to reduce InSAR ambiguities due to changes in wet-tropospheric path delay. Retrieval results and comparisons between the integrated water vapor measured by the radiometer network and satellite data are presented.

This system, known as the Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS), ensures that the final solution is consistent with the measurements and, when used as input to the forward operator, fits them to within the instrument noise levels. In the presence of precipitation, this variational algorithm retrieves a set of hydrometeor products consisting of cloud liquid water, ice water, and rain water content profiles. This paper presents the development and assessment of the MiRS rainfall rate that is derived based on a predetermined relationship of the rainfall with these hydrometeor products. Since this relationship relies on the geophysical products retrieved by the MiRS as inputs and not on sensor-dependent parameters, the technique is suitable for all microwave sensors to which the MiRS is applied. This precipitation technique has been designed to facilitate its transition from research to operations when applied to current and future satellite-based sensors. Currently, the MiRS rainfall rate technique has been implemented operationally at the U. S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the NOAA-18, NOAA-19, Metop-A Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit, and Microwave Humidity Sensor, as well as for the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)-F16 and DMSP-F18 Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder microwave satellite sensors. For the validation of the MiRS rainfall rate technique, extensive comparisons with state-of-the-art precipitation products derived from rain gauge, ground-based radar, and satellite-based microwave observations are presented for different regions and seasons, and over land and ocean. The MiRS rainfall rate technique is shown to estimate precipitation, with a skill comparable to other satellite-based microwave precipitation algorithms, including the MSPPS, 3B40RT, and MWCOMB, while showing no discontinuities at coasts. This is a relevant result, considering that the MiRS is a system not merely designed to retrieve the rainfall rate but to consistently estimate a comprehensive set of atmospheric and surface parameters from microwave measurements.

Characteristics of the data over the two test sites are demonstrated. Thirty-day mean brightness temperatures at nadir over Antarctica from NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 measurements show that there is minimal diurnal variability (< 0.5 K) in the measurements during the Antarctic winter months. Therefore, these measurements provide a practical approach to determine the relative intersatellite/intersensor calibration biases. The resultant biases for the two satellites are < 0.2 K for channels 1-5 and 8 and < 0.6 K for the other channels. Monthly mean angular distributions of brightness temperatures at the four window channels 1-3 and 15 from the satellites over the tropical ocean are compared to those of simulations, which are obtained with an ocean model of radiative transfer. These AMSU-A data provide a unique opportunity for the investigation of the scan-position-dependent biases (or asymmetries) of the data. The biases are revealed by the difference between the observed brightness temperatures and the simulations. The results in this study provide a useful guide for the calibration and validation of microwave instruments.

Under a cloud-free condition, atmospheric and surface radiative components can be derived from atmospheric temperature and water vapor, and surface temperature data. Thus, the quality of these auxiliary data sets directly affects the emissivity accuracy. From an emission-based radiative transfer equation, a set of relationships is derived to study the sensitivity of surface emissivity to the errors of brightness temperature, atmospheric transmittance, and surface temperature. As an example, the uncertainties in the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System emissivity at 23 and 89 GHz may be much larger than the uncertainties of emissivity at lower frequencies due to the higher uncertainties in computing the water vapor absorption. The error in the land surface temperature is a main source of error in emissivity at the frequencies less than 19 GHz.

TI Reflectivity Study of Microwave Blackbody Target SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LA English DT Article DE Anechoic chamber; blackbody target; free-space calibration; reflection measurement; uncertainty analysis ID RETRIEVAL; SATELLITE AB We report on the characterization of blackbody target reflections as part of the recent progress on the development of brightness temperature standards for microwave remote sensing at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The very low reflections from the blackbody targets used in airborne or satellite remote sensing systems present challenges on how to extract reflection coefficients from the measurements. A full calibration technique is developed for this study by the use of a flat aluminum plate used as a known standard in combination with measurements of the empty anechoic chamber. The theoretical basis and measurement procedures, along with the uncertainty analysis, are presented. Calibration results validate the method by showing its independence from measurement hardware and conditions. A comparison between the theoretical prediction of reflection coefficients of a free-standing dielectric slab with well-documented physical parameters and the de-embedded reflection coefficients from experiments confirms good calibration accuracy. The specific blackbody target used in this paper shows well-matched properties with a power reflectivity below -40 dB over the entire measurement band (18 to 26 GHz).

SO METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS A-PHYSICAL METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GRAIN-SIZE; SHEET; TOPOGRAPHY; MECHANISM AB Three different heat treatments of aluminum alloy AA5052 were subjected to various levels of uniaxial plastic strain. The resulting surfaces were then evaluated using both scanning laser confocal microscopy (SLCM) and stylus profilometry. Three regression approaches were used to assess the quality of a linear and a curvilinear fit for the roughness data as a function of true plastic strain. While there were differences among the regression results, the analyses revealed that a linear model was more statistically appropriate for the finest grain size. As the grain size increased, the surface morphology became more complex and a quadratic model became more suitable. Since the relative area fractions of grain boundary-localized roughness and slip-induced roughness are grain size dependent, the higher order fit between the roughness and plastic strain reflects substantial changes in the ratio of these areas. The differences between the SLCM and profilometry results were attributed to the natural filtering that occurs during contact profilometry. This filtering skewed the roughness data toward the largest surface displacements, thereby reducing the measurement fidelity to the point where the only possible outcome was the linear relationship.

TI Development, implementation, and skill assessment of the NOAA/NOS Great Lakes Operational Forecast System SO OCEAN DYNAMICS LA English DT Article DE Numerical modeling; Lake forecasts; Coastal nowcast/forecast lake modeling system ID ERIE; MODEL AB The NOAA Great Lakes Operational Forecast System (GLOFS) uses near-real-time atmospheric observations and numerical weather prediction forecast guidance to produce three-dimensional forecasts of water temperature and currents, and two-dimensional forecasts of water levels of the Great Lakes. This system, originally called the Great Lakes forecasting system (GLFS), was developed at The Ohio State University and NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in 1989. In 1996, a workstation version of the GLFS was ported to GLERL to generate semi-operational nowcasts and forecasts daily. In 2004, GLFS went through rigorous skill assessment and was transitioned to the National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) in Silver Spring, MD. GLOFS has been making operational nowcasts and forecasts at CO-OPS since September 30, 2005. Hindcast, nowcast, and forecast evaluations using the NOS-developed skill assessment software tool indicated both surface water levels and temperature predictions passed the NOS specified criteria at a majority of the validation locations with relatively low root mean square error (4-8 cm for water levels and 0.5 to 1A degrees C for surface water temperatures). The difficulty of accurately simulating seiches generated by storms (in particular in shallow lakes like Lake Erie) remains a major source of error in water level prediction and should be addressed in future improvements of the forecast system.

The physical process of interest is the cross-shelf circulation produced by northeasterly monsoon winds acting on the Kuroshio front over the East China Sea outer shelf and shelfbreak where upwelling is often observed. However, a general problem is posed and solved by idealized numerical and analytical models. It is shown that upwelling is produced shoreward of the front. The upwelling is maintained by (1) a surface bulge of negative vorticity at the head of the front; (2) bottom offshore convergence beneath the front; and (3) in the case of a surface front that is thin relative to water depth, also by upwelling due to the vorticity sheet under the front. The near-coast downwelling produces intense mixing due to both upright and slant-wise convection in regions of positive potential vorticity. The analytical model shows that the size and on-shore propagating speed of the bulge are determined by the wind and its shape is governed by a nonlinear advection-dispersion equation which yields unchanging wave-form solutions. Successive bulges can detach from the front under a steady wind. Vertical circulation cells develop under the propagating bulges despite a stable stratification. These cells can have important consequences to vertical exchanges of tracers and water masses.

It was found that anomalous expansion of the polymer chains associated with excess absorption of the fluid molecules occurs in the large compressible regions of both supercritical fluids (SCFs) regardless of the polymer-fluid interactions. In addition, we found that the excess expansion of the solvophobic polymer chains in both SCFs collapse onto one master curve under the same magnitude of density fluctuations in the fluids. A simple thermodynamic two-state model along with the experimental results proposes that polymer chains are expanded independently of the polymer fluid interactions to further change solvent density fluctuations around the polymer chains, thereby lowering the free energy of the polymer/SCF systems.

This study assessed the in vitro hemolytic potential of unbound silver particles in human blood to determine which physical and chemical particle properties contribute to mechanisms of red blood cell (RBC) damage. Four silver particle powders (two nano-sized and two micron-sized) were dispersed in water and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurement. Particle size and agglomeration were dependent on the suspension media. Under similar conditions to the hemolysis assay, with the particles added to phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and plasma, the size of the nanoparticles increased compared with particles suspended in water alone due to interaction with chloride ions and plasma proteins. To determine hemolysis response, aqueous particle suspensions were mixed with heparinized human blood diluted in PBS for 3.5 h at 37 degrees C. Both nanoparticle preparations were significantly more hemolytic than micron-sized particles at equivalent mass concentrations > 220 mu g/ml and at estimated surface area concentrations > 10 cm(2)/ml. The presence or absence of surface citrate on nanoparticles showed no significant difference in hemolysis. However, the aqueous nanoparticle preparations released significantly more silver ions than micron-sized particles, which correlated with increased hemolysis. Although significant size changes occurred to the silver particles due to interaction with media components, the higher level of in vitro hemolysis observed with nanoparticles compared with micron-sized particles may be related to their greater surface area, increased silver ion release, and direct interaction with RBCs.

Models used for estimation included generalized additive models (GAM), generalized linear models (GLM) and GLM with spatial or spatio-temporally autocorrelated bycatch observations (s-GLM). Models were fitted separately to the probability of non-zero seabird capture (presence/absence) and to the numbers of seabirds per non-zero capture (positive bycatch); final estimates were obtained as the product of the two. Best-fitting models included latitude, longitude and quarter of year as covariates for presence/absence, and numbers of hooks per set for positive bycatch. Among the models compared, GLM gave the most consistent predictions of annual total seabird captures. For 2008, the most recent year modeled, GLM predicted 81 seabirds caught in 8,862 sets. The number is small on an Atlantic-wide or world-wide scale but is concentrated in an area of high species diversity that includes relatively small populations. GLM was recommended to be used in future Atlantic pelagic longline seabird bycatch estimation. Received 13 December 2010, accepted 18 May 2011.

Grandner, Jessica Gillen, Greg TI Fabrication of adhesive coated swabs for improved swipe-based particle collection efficiency SO ANALYTICAL METHODS LA English DT Article AB Improving particle collection efficiency for swipe-based sampling systems can provide a better chance of detection when screening for trace explosives or narcotics particles. A technique was developed to improve the particle collection efficiency of commercially-available collection swabs used for field sampling of trace contraband materials. A silicone adhesive was added to Teflon-coated fiberglass swabs to aid in collecting trace levels of contamination from surfaces. Since the swabs are typically used for ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) analysis, it is important for them to produce no chemical background when heated. Results show that the adhesive swabs had a higher particle collection efficiency compared to the untreated swabs by a factor of 12, without negatively interfering with the IMS analysis. It was also found that the adhesive swabs could be reused 10 times without significant reduction in collection efficiency. While it is possible that the adhesive swabs may not be suitable for all surface types due to loss of adhesive material after multiple uses, the benefits of higher particle collection efficiency are extremely promising.

Small rivers and/or streams that drain the mountainous areas in these climatic zones deliver the majority of the sediment and nutrient inputs to these narrow shelf environments; such inputs often occur as discrete, episodic introductions associated with storm events. To gain insight into the linked biogeochemical behavior of subtropical/tropical mountainous watershed-coastal ocean ecosystems, this work describes the use of a buoy system to monitor autonomously water quality responses to land-derived nutrient inputs and physical forcing associated with local storm events in the coastal ocean of southern Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, USA. The data represent 2.5 years of near-real time observations at a fixed station, collected concurrently with spatially distributed synoptic sampling over larger sections of Kaneohe Bay. Storm events cause most of the fluvial nutrient, particulate, and dissolved organic carbon inputs to Kaneohe Bay. Nutrient loadings from direct rainfall and/or terrestrial runoff produce an immediate increase in the N:P ratio of bay waters up to values of 48 and drive phytoplankton biomass growth. Rapid uptake of such nutrient subsidies by phytoplankton causes rapid declines of N levels, return to N-limited conditions, and subsequent decline of phytoplankton biomass over timescales ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on conditions and proximity to the sources of runoff. The enhanced productivity may promote the drawing down of pCO(2) and lowering of surface water column carbonate saturation states, and in some events, a temporary shift from N to P limitation. The productivity-driven CO2 drawdown may temporarily lead to air-to-sea transfer of atmospheric CO2 in a system that is on an annual basis a source of CO2 to the atmosphere due to calcification and perhaps heterotrophy. Storms may also strongly affect proximal coastal zone pCO(2) and hence carbonate saturation state due to river runoff flushing out high pCO(2) soil and ground waters. Mixing of the CO2-charged water with seawater causes a salting out effect that releases CO2 to the atmosphere. Many subtropical and tropical systems throughout the Pacific region are similar to Kaneohe Bay, and our work provides an important indication of the variability and range of CO2 dynamics that are likely to exist elsewhere. Such variability must be taken into account in any analysis of the direction and magnitude of the air-sea CO2 exchange for the integrated coastal ocean, proximal and distal. It cannot be overemphasized that this research illustrates several examples of how high frequency sampling by a moored autonomous system can provide details about ecosystem responses to stochastic atmospheric forcing that are commonly missed by traditional synoptic observational approaches. Finally, the work exemplifies the utility of combining synoptic sampling and real-time autonomous observations to elucidate the biogeochemical and physical responses of coastal subtropical/tropical coral reef ecosystems to climatic perturbations.

This model is capable of simulating the microphysical aspects of the evaporation of saline water droplets of various sizes and their dynamic and thermal interaction with the turbulence mixing that is simulated by the Mellor-Yamada 1.5-order closure scheme. Sea-spray droplet generation is described by a state-of-the-art parametrization that predicts the size spectrum of sea-spray droplets for a given surface forcing. The results from a series of simulations indicate the way in which evaporating droplets of various sizes modify the turbulence mixing near the surface, which in turn affects further droplet evaporation. All these results are direct consequences of the effects of sea-spray on the balance of turbulent kinetic energy in the spray-filled surface layer. In particular, the overall impact of sea-spray droplets on the mean wind depends on the wind speed at the level of sea-spray generation. When the wind speed is below 40 m s(-1), the droplets are small in size and tend to evaporate substantially and thus cool the spray-filled layer, while for wind speeds above 50 m s(-1), the size of the droplets is so large that they do not have enough time to evaporate much before falling back into the sea. The sensible heat carried by the droplets is released to the ambient air, increasing the buoyancy of the surface layer and enhancing the turbulent mixing. The suspension of sea-spray droplets reduces the buoyancy and makes the surface layer more stable, decreasing the friction velocity and the downward turbulent mixing of momentum. The results from the numerical experiments also suggest that, in order not to violate the constant flux assumption critical to the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory, a displacement equal to the mean wave height should be included in the logarithmic profiles of the wind and thermal fields.

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.

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 seasonal prediction skill for the NH 200-hPa geopotential height basically comes from the coupled models' ability in predicting the first two empirical orthogonal function (EOF) modes of interannual variability, because the models cannot replicate the residual higher modes. The first two leading EOF modes of the summer 200-hPa circulation account for about 84% (35.4%) of the total variability over the NH tropics (extratropics) and offer a hint of realizable potential predictability. The MME is able to predict both spatial and temporal characteristics of the first EOF mode (EOF1) even at a 5-month lead (January initial condition) with a pattern correlation coefficient (PCC) skill of 0.96 and a temporal correlation coefficient (TCC) skill of 0.62. This long-lead predictability of the EOF1 comes mainly from the prolonged impacts of El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as the EOF1 tends to occur during the summer after the mature phase of ENSO. The second EOF mode (EOF2), on the other hand, is related to the developing ENSO and also the interdecadal variability of the sea surface temperature over the North Pacific and North Atlantic Ocean. The MME also captures the EOF2 at a 5-month lead with a PCC skill of 0.87 and a TCC skill of 0.67, but these skills are mainly obtained from the zonally symmetric component of the EOF2, not the prominent wavelike structure, the so-called circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) pattern. In both observation and the 1-month lead MME prediction, the first two leading modes are accompanied by significant rainfall and surface air temperature anomalies in the continental regions of the NH extratropics. The MME's success in predicting the EOF1 (EOF2) is likely to lead to a better prediction of JJA precipitation anomalies over East Asia and the North Pacific (central and southern Europe and western North America).

SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID LAURENTIAN GREAT-LAKES; FRESH-WATER ECOSYSTEMS; LONG-TERM TRENDS; DREISSENA-POLYMORPHA; ZEBRA MUSSEL; SAGINAW BAY; COMMUNITY; IMPACTS; GROWTH; EUTROPHICATION AB Dreissenid mussels were first documented in the Laurentian Great Lakes in the late 1980s. Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) spread quickly into shallow, hard-substrate areas; quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) spread more slowly and are currently colonizing deep, offshore areas. These mussels occur at high densities, filter large water volumes while feeding on suspended materials, and deposit particulate waste on the lake bottom. This filtering activity has been hypothesized to sequeter tributary phosphorus in near-shore regions reducing offshore primary productivity. We used a mass balance model to estimate the phosphorus sedimentation rate in Saginaw Bay, a shallow embayment of Lake Huron, before and after the mussel invasion. Our results indicate that the proportion of tributary phosphorus retained in Saginaw Bay increased from approximately 46-70% when dreissenids appeared, reducing phosphorus export to the main body of Lake Huron. The combined effects of increased phosphorus retention and decreased phosphorus loading have caused an approximate 60% decrease in phosphorus export from Saginaw Bay to Lake Huron. Our results support the hypothesis that the ongoing decline of preyfish and secondary producers including diporeia (Diporeia spp.) in Lake Huron is a bottom-up phenomenon associated with decreased phosphorus availability in the offshore to support primary production.

TI Scanning Electron Microanalysis and Analytical Challenges of Mapping Elements in Urban Atmospheric Particles SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MINERAL DUST PARTICLES; AEROSOL-PARTICLES; AMBIENT AIR; SIZE; ENVIRONMENT; CHEMISTRY; ARIZONA AB Elemental mapping with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) associated with scanning electron microscopy is highly useful for studying internally mixed atmospheric particles. Presented is a study of individual particles from urban airsheds and the analytical challenges in qualitatively determining the composition and origin of heterogeneous urban-air particles from high-resolution elemental maps. Coarse-mode particles were taken from samples collected in three U.S. cities: Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Elemental maps distinguished particles with heterogeneously mixed phases from those with homogeneously mixed phases that also contained inclusions or surface adducts. Elemental mapping at low and high beam energies, along with imaging at an oblique angle helped to classify particles by origin. The impact of particle shape on X-ray microanalysis was demonstrated by having the beam enter the particle at >= 52 degrees from normal. Potential misinterpretations of particle composition due to artifacts in the elemental maps were minimized by tilt imaging to reveal particle surface roughness and depth, mapping at low beam energies, noting the position of the EDX detector in the map field, and assessing differences in the mass absorption coefficients of the particle's major elements to anticipate X-ray self-absorption.

TI Identification of Trichotoxin, a Novel Chlorinated Compound Associated with the Bloom Forming Cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium thiebautii SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SODIUM-CHANNEL TOXINS; NITROGEN-FIXATION; TOXICITY; GROWTH; ASSAYS AB Trichodesmium is a suspected toxin-producing nonheterocystous cyanobacteria ubiquitous in tropical, subtropical, and temperate seas. The genus is known for its ability to fix nitrogen and form massive blooms. In oligotrophic seas, it can dominate the biomass and be a major component of oceanic primary production and global nitrogen cycling. Numerous reports suggest Trichodesmium-derived toxins are a cause of death of fish, crabs, and bivalves. Laboratory studies have demonstrated neurotoxic effects in T. thiebautii cell extracts and field reports suggest respiratory distress and contact dermatitis of humans at collection sites. However, Trichodesmium toxins have not been identified and characterized. Here, we report the extraction of a lipophilic toxin from field-collected T. thiebautii using a purification method of several chromatographic techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectroscopy (MS), and Fourier transformed-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Trichotoxin has a molecular formula of C(20)H(27)ClO and a mass of 318 m/z and possesses cytotoxic activity against GH(4)C(1) rat pituitary and Neuro-2a mouse neuroblastoma cells. A detection method using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was developed. This compound is the first reported cytotoxic natural product isolated and fully characterized from a Trichodesmium species. C1 [Schock, Tracey B.; Moeller, Peter D.

Oliver, Brian TI Synthetic spike-in standards for RNA-seq experiments SO GENOME RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID TRANSCRIPTOME; EXPRESSION; ARRAYS; GENOME; YEAST; CELLS AB High-throughput sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) is a widely deployed transcriptome profiling and annotation technique, but questions about the performance of different protocols and platforms remain. We used a newly developed pool of 96 synthetic RNAs with various lengths, and GC content covering a 2(20) concentration range as spike-in controls to measure sensitivity, accuracy, and biases in RNA-seq experiments as well as to derive standard curves for quantifying the abundance of transcripts. We observed linearity between read density and RNA input over the entire detection range and excellent agreement between replicates, but we observed significantly larger imprecision than expected under pure Poisson sampling errors. We use the control RNAs to directly measure reproducible protocol-dependent biases due to GC content and transcript length as well as stereotypic heterogeneity in coverage across transcripts correlated with position relative to RNA termini and priming sequence bias. These effects lead to biased quantification for short transcripts and individual exons, which is a serious problem for measurements of isoform abundances, but that can partially be corrected using appropriate models of bias. By using the control RNAs, we derive limits for the discovery and detection of rare transcripts in RNA-seq experiments. By using data collected as part of the model organism and human Encyclopedia of DNA Elements projects (ENCODE and modENCODE), we demonstrate that external RNA controls are a useful resource for evaluating sensitivity and accuracy of RNA-seq experiments for transcriptome discovery and quantification. These quality metrics facilitate comparable analysis across different samples, protocols, and platforms.

Telemetry devices have become quite sophisticated in terms of overall size and data collecting capacity. Statistical methods to analyze movement have responded, becoming ever more complex, often relying on state-space modeling. Estimation of movement metrics such as utilization distributions have not followed suit, relying primarily on kernel density estimation. Here we consider a method for making inference about space use that is free of all of the major problems associated with kernel density estimation of utilization distributions such as autocorrelation, irregular time gaps, and error in observed locations. Our proposed method is based on a data augmentation approach that defines use as a summary of the complete path of the animal which is only partially observed. We use a sample from the posterior distribution of the complete path to construct a posterior sample for the metric of interest. Three basic importance sampling based methods for sampling from the posterior distribution of the path are proposed and compared. We demonstrate the augmentation approach by estimating a spatial map of diving intensity for female northern fur seals in the Pribilof Islands, Alaska.

TI Shear-induced anisotropy of concentrated multiwalled carbon nanotube suspensions using x-ray scattering SO JOURNAL OF RHEOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ANGLE NEUTRON-SCATTERING; LAYERED SILICATE NANOCOMPOSITES; POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES; MOLECULAR-ORIENTATION; COMPOSITES; NETWORKS; RHEOLOGY; MORPHOLOGY; FLOCCULATION; SIMULATIONS AB X-ray scattering is used to measure particle orientation in concentrated multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) suspensions under shear flow. MWNTs were dispersed in a Newtonian suspending fluid (uncured epoxy). The dispersions exhibit shear thinning, approaching the matrix viscosity at high shear rates. This is accompanied by progressive development of MWNT orientation along the flow direction with increasing shear rate. The impact of MWNT aspect ratio and concentration on steady-state orientation is explored. In one sample (2 wt. % dispersion of short MWNTs), orientation was measured in both the flow-gradient (1-2) and flow-vorticity (1-3) planes of shear flow to provide a more complete picture of the three-dimensional orientation state. Also in this sample, 1-3 plane measurements were conducted using both small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS). While the two methods produce qualitatively similar results, WAXS-derived measures of flow-induced anisotropy are consistently larger than SAXS data. In transient measurements following step-down in shear rate, MWNT orientation is found to decrease on similar time scales as viscosity increases. Prolonged growth of storage modulus is observed following flow cessation, accompanied by an unexpectedly rapid partial loss of MWNT orientation. The rheological and orientation data are discussed in terms of distortion, breakdown, and reformation of percolated MWNT networks in these samples. (c) 2011 The Society of Rheology.

The assemblies represent portions of structural framing systems designed as intermediate moment frames (IMFs) and special moment frames (SMFs) for Seismic Design Categories C and D, respectively. The steel IMF and SMF assemblies were designed in accordance with ANSI/AISC 341-02 by using prequalified moment connections specified in FEMA 350. The concrete IMF and SMF assemblies were designed and detailed in accordance with ACI 318-02 requirements. Each full-scale assembly comprises two beam spans and three columns, and downward displacements of the center column are imposed until failure. The study provides insight into the behavior and failure modes of the assemblies, including the development of catenary action. Both detailed and reduced finite-element models are developed, which capture the primary response characteristics and failure modes. Analyses with the reduced models can be executed rapidly without loss of accuracy, facilitating implementation in models of entire structural systems. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)ST.1943-541X.0000422.

TI Using Cross-Evaluation to Evaluate Interactive QA Systems SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INFORMATION SEEKING; USERS; MODEL AB In this article, we report on an experiment to assess the possibility of rigorous evaluation of interactive question-answering (QA) systems using the cross-evaluation method. This method takes into account the effects of tasks and context, and of the users of the systems. Statistical techniques are used to remove these effects, isolating the effect of the system itself. The results show that this approach yields meaningful measurements of the impact of systems on user task performance, using a surprisingly small number of subjects and without relying on predetermined judgments of the quality, or of the relevance of materials. We conclude that the method is indeed effective for comparing end-to-end QA systems, and for comparing interactive systems with high efficiency. C1 [Sun, Ying] SUNY Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260 USA.

TI Electron-spin excitation coupling in an electron-doped copper oxide superconductor SO NATURE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID TRANSITION-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTOR; BI2SR2CACU2O8+DELTA; SPECTRUM; DENSITY AB High-temperature (high-T(c)) superconductivity in the copper oxides arises from electron or hole doping of their antiferromagnetic (AF) insulating parent compounds. The evolution of the AF phase with doping and its spatial coexistence with superconductivity are governed by the nature of charge and spin correlations, which provides clues to the mechanism of high-T(c) superconductivity. Here we use neutron scattering and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) to study the evolution of the bosonic excitations in electron-doped superconductor Pr(0.88)LaCe(0.12)CuO(4-delta) with different transition temperatures (T(c)) obtained through the oxygen annealing process. We find that spin excitations detected by neutron scattering have two distinct modes that evolve with T(c) in a remarkably similar fashion to the low-energy electron tunnelling modes detected by STS. These results demonstrate that antiferromagnetism and superconductivity compete locally and coexist spatially on nanometre length scales, and the dominant electron-boson coupling at low energies originates from the electron-spin excitations.

The broadband nature of SR allows coverage of the entire spectral region from the X-ray to the far-infrared. Compact low-energy storage rings like the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility SURF III are perfect sources for radiometric applications, because the output spectrum can be custom-tailored to the user's needs: low current operations can simulate the solar spectrum, changes to the electron energy can address higher-order contributions of spectrometers and monochromators, and manipulation of the source size can increase the lifetime or change the radiation density. At large multi-user facilities these special operational conditions are generally not possible, since many users have to be satisfied simultaneously. At SURF III, NIST maintains one of the best SR-based infrared to soft X-ray calibration programs in the world: standard lamp calibrations, detector calibrations, and measurements of optical properties are routinely performed at SURF with great reliability and accuracy.

We investigated these links using C-3 and C-4 plants, hypothesizing that the rates of COS and (COO)-O-18 exchange by leaves respond in parallel to environmental and biological drivers. Using CA-deficient antisense lines of C-4 and C-3 plants, COS uptake was essentially eliminated and discrimination against (COO)-O-18 exchange ((18)Delta) greatly reduced, demonstrating CA's key role in both processes. (18)Delta showed a positive linear correlation with leaf relative uptake (LRU; ratio of COS to CO2 assimilation rates, A(s)/A(c), normalized to their respective ambient concentrations), which reflected the effects of stomatal conductance on both COS and (COO)-O-18 exchange. Unexpectedly, a decoupling between A(s) and (18)Delta was observed in comparing C-4 and C-3 plants, with a large decrease in (18)Delta but no parallel reduction in A(s) in the former. This could be explained by C-4 plants having higher COS concentrations at the CA site (maintaining high A(s) with reduced CA) and a high phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase/CA activity ratio (reducing O-18 exchange efficiency between CO2 and water, but not A(s)). Similar A(s) but higher A(c) in C-4 versus C-3 plants resulted in lower LRU values in the former (1.16 +/- 0.20 and 1.82 +/- 0.18 for C-4 and C-3, respectively). LRU was, however, relatively constant in both plant types across a wide range of conditions, except low light (<191 mu mol photon m(-2) s(-1)).

While the water vapor effects of sea surface temperature and cloud radiative and microphysical processes on surface rainfall have been investigated in previous studies, the thermal effects on rainfall are analyzed in this study using a series of two-dimensional equilibrium cloud-resolving model experiments forced by zonally-uniform, constant, large-scale zonal wind and zero large-scale vertical velocity. The analysis of thermally-related surface rainfall budget reveals that the model domain mean surface rain rate is primarily associated with the mean infrared cooling rate. Convective rainfall and transport of hydrometeor concentration from convective regions to raining stratiform regions corresponds to the heat divergence over convective regions, whereas stratiform rainfall corresponds to the transport of hydrometeor concentration from convective regions and heat divergence over raining stratiform regions. The heat divergence over convective regions is mainly balanced by the heat convergence over rainfall-free regions, which is, in turn, offset by the radiative cooling over rainfall-free regions. The sensitivity experiments of rainfall to the effects of sea surface temperature and cloud radiative and microphysical processes show that the sea surface temperature and cloud processes affect convective rainfall through the changes in infrared cooling rate over rainfall-free regions and transport rate of heat from convective regions to rainfall-free regions.

Removal was observed in all tested soil types, indicating that the process was widespread. The flux measured in field chamber experiments was 0.24 +/- 0.10 nmol CCl(4) (m(2) day)-1 (average +/- standard deviation [ SD]; n = 282). Removal of CCl(4) and removal of methane (CH(4)) were compared to explore whether the two processes were linked. Removal of both gases was halted in laboratory samples that were autoclaved, dry heated, or incubated in the presence of mercuric chloride (HgCl(2)). In marl soils, treatment with antibiotics such as tetracycline and streptomycin caused partial inhibition of CCl(4) (50%) and CH(4) (76%) removal, but removal was not affected in soils treated with nystatin or myxothiazol. These data indicated that bacteria contributed to the soil removal of CCl(4) and that microeukaryotes may not have played a significant role. Amendments of methanol, acetate, and succinate to soil samples enhanced CCl(4) removal by 59%, 293%, and 72%, respectively. Additions of a variety of inhibitors and substrates indicated that nitrification, methanogenesis, or biological reduction of nitrate, nitrous oxide, or sulfate (e. g., occurring in possible anoxic microzones) did not play a significant role in the removal of CCl(4). Methyl fluoride inhibited removal of CH(4) but not CCl(4), indicating that CH(4) and CCl(4) removals were not directly linked. Furthermore, CCl(4) removal was not affected in soils amended with copper sulfate or methane, supporting the results with MeF and suggesting that the observed CCl(4) removal was not significantly mediated by methanotrophs.

For example, Porites astreoides planulae settle preferentially on unconditioned red substrata. In order to test whether this behavior was a response to color and whether other species also demonstrate color preference, settlement choice experiments were conducted with P. astreoides and Acropora palmata. In these experiments, larvae were offered various types of plastic substrata representing three to seven different color choices. Both species consistently settled on red (or red and orange) substrata at a higher frequency than other colors. In one experiment, P. astreoides settled on 100% of red, plastic cable ties but failed to settle on green or white substrata. In a second experiment, 24% of larvae settled on red buttons, more than settled on six other colors combined. A. palmata settled on 80% of red and of orange cables ties but failed to settle on blue in one experiment and settled on a greater proportion of red acrylic squares than on four other colors or limestone controls in a second experiment. The consistency of the response across a variety of plastic materials suggests the response is related to long-wavelength photosensitivity. Fluorescence and reflectance spectra of experimental substrata demonstrated that the preferred substrata had spectra dominated by wavelengths greater than 550 nm with little or no reflection or emission of shorter wavelengths. These results suggest that some species of coral larvae may use spectral cues for fine-scale habitat selection during settlement. This behavior may be an adaptation to promote settlement in crustose coralline algae (CCA)-dominated habitats facilitating juvenile survival.

To be most effective, these areas should be strategically located in a manner that supports ecosystem function. To inform marine spatial planning and support strategic establishment of MPAs within the California Current System, we identified areas predicted to support multispecies aggregations of seabirds ("hotspots''). We developed habitat-association models for 16 species using information from at-sea observations collected over an 11-year period (1997-2008), bathymetric data, and remotely sensed oceanographic data for an area from north of Vancouver Island, Canada, to the USA/Mexico border and seaward 600 km from the coast. This approach enabled us to predict distribution and abundance of seabirds even in areas of few or no surveys. We developed single-species predictive models using a machine-learning algorithm: bagged decision trees. Single-species predictions were then combined to identify potential hotspots of seabird aggregation, using three criteria: (1) overall abundance among species, (2) importance of specific areas ("core areas'') to individual species, and (3) predicted persistence of hotspots across years. Model predictions were applied to the entire California Current for four seasons (represented by February, May, July, and October) in each of 11 years. Overall, bathymetric variables were often important predictive variables, whereas oceanographic variables derived from remotely sensed data were generally less important. Predicted hotspots often aligned with currently protected areas (e.g., National Marine Sanctuaries), but we also identified potential hotspots in Northern California/Southern Oregon (from Cape Mendocino to Heceta Bank), Southern California (adjacent to the Channel Islands), and adjacent to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, that are not currently included in protected areas. Prioritization and identification of multispecies hotspots will depend on which group of species is of highest management priority. Modeling hotspots at a broad spatial scale can contribute to MPA site selection, particularly if complemented by fine-scale information for focal areas.

Exponential distance-decay curves are routinely fitted by calculating the ecological similarity between each pair of sites, and fitting a linear regression to the points on a scatter plot of log-similarity vs. distance (x-axis). However, pairs of sites where the assemblages have no species in common pose a problem, because the similarity is zero, and the log transformation cannot be applied. Common fixes to this problem (i.e., either removing or transforming the zero values) are shown to have undesirable consequences and to give widely disparate estimates. A new method is presented as a special case of a generalized dissimilarity model. It is fitted very quickly and easily using existing software, and it does not require removal or transformation of the zero similarity points. Its simplicity makes it convenient for use in conjunction with the resampling methods that are routinely employed to test hypotheses, to obtain standard errors of estimated parameters, or to compare distance-decay curves. A word of caution about standard application of the bootstrap is noted, and modified bootstrap and jackknife alternatives are demonstrated.

TI High SO2 flux, sulfur accumulation, and gas fractionation at an erupting submarine volcano SO GEOLOGY LA English DT Article ID HYDROTHERMAL FLUIDS; MARIANA ARC; OXIDATION-STATE; CARBON-DIOXIDE; CONSTRAINTS; PACIFIC; EVENT; BASIN; RIDGE AB Strombolian-style volcanic activity has persisted for six years at the NW Rota-1 submarine volcano in the southern Mariana Arc, allowing direct observation and sampling of gas-rich fluids produced by actively degassing lavas, and permitting study of the magma-hydrothermal transition zone. Fluids sampled centimeters above erupting lava and percolating through volcaniclastic sediments around an active vent have dissolved sulfite >100 mmol/kg, total dissolved sulfi de <30 mu mol/kg, pH as low as 1.05, and dissolved Al and Fe >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 (SO2, CO2, H-2, and He) are variable on small spatial and temporal scales, indicative of solubility fractionation and gas scrubbing. Elemental sulfur (S-e) is abundant in solid and molten form, produced primarily by disproportionation of magmatic SO2 injected into seawater. S-e accumulates within the porous rock surrounding the lava conduit connecting the magma source to the seafloor. Accumulated S-e can be heated, melted, and pushed upward by rising magma to produce molten S-e flows and lavas saturated with S-e. Molten S-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-e accumulation and refluxing may underlie the relatively widespread occurrence of S-e deposits of many sizes found on submarine arc volcanoes.

TI The frequency and quantity of Alaskan groundfish catcher-vessel landings made with and without an observer SO ICES JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT ICES Symposium on Fishery-Dependent Information CY AUG 23-26, 2010 CL Galway, IRELAND DE Alaska; bias; catch monitoring; fisheries; groundfish; observers ID TRAWL FISHERY; SEA AB 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.

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.

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.

Examining habitat associations on finer spatial scales than previous studies have been able to achieve would advance the understanding of important marine coastal ecosystems. This study evaluates the spatial and temporal relationships of single fish and fish schools with sea surface temperature (SST) fronts in the northern California Current upwelling system, using lidar (light detection and ranging) from an aircraft to sample surface waters over the continental shelf. High-resolution data were collected on the distribution of surface nekton and SST, then the locations of fish were analysed with respect to their proximity to SST fronts using GIS spatial analyses. Both fish schools and solitary fish were located significantly closer to fronts than would be expected by chance. The association of fish to fronts varied with the progression of the upwelling season such that fish associated less with fronts under stronger upwelling conditions. The relationships observed indicate the importance of thermal features to fish as a habitat component in a variable upwelling environment and have implications for management and conservation.

TI Measurement of Trace Gas Fluxes over an Unfertilized Agricultural Field Using the Flux-gradient Technique SO JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY LA English DT Article ID MODIFIED BOWEN-RATIO; GASEOUS DRY DEPOSITION; ATMOSPHERIC AMMONIA; SURFACE-EXCHANGE; SULFUR-DIOXIDE; DECIDUOUS FOREST; NITRIC-ACID; NITROGEN; HNO3; NH3 AB Trace gas fluxes exhibit extensive spatial and temporal variability that is dependent on a number of factors, including meteorology, ambient concentration, and emission source size. Previous studies have found that agricultural fertilization contributes to higher fluxes of certain gases. The magnitude of trace gas fluxes over unfertilized crops is still uncertain. In the present study, deposition of ammonia (NH(3)), nitric acid (HNO(3)), and sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) was measured over unfertilized soybean using the flux-gradient technique. The eddy diffusivity was estimated from eddy covariance measurements of temperature fluxes, resulting in K(H) of 0.64 +/- 0.30 m(2) s(-1). Flux means and standard deviations were -0.14 +/- 0.13, -0.22 +/- 0.19, and -0.38 +/- 0.54 mu g m(-2) s(-1) for NH(3), HNO(3), and SO(2), respectively. Low concentrations of NH(3) and HNO(3) increased the relative uncertainties in the deposition velocities estimated from measured fluxes. This contributed to dissimilarities between deposition velocities estimated from the resistance analogy and deposition velocities estimated from fluxes. However, wet canopy conditions during the study may have led to an underestimation of deposition by the resistance analogy because the resistance method does not accurately describe the enhanced deposition rates that occur after dew formation. Quantification of vegetation characteristics, such as leaf wetness and apoplast chemistry, would be beneficial in future studies to more accurately determine stomatal resistance and its influence on fluxes.

Previous studies on a ground-vehicle system obtained 1-3 mGal precision with 2 km spatial resolution. High-accuracy Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and cm-level positioning solutions are very important in obtaining mGal-level gravity disturbance estimates. However, these ideal configurations are not always available or achievable. Because the noise level in the SINS/DGPS gravimetric system generally decreases with an increase of speed and altitude of the platform, the stringent constraints on the IMU and GPS may be relieved in the airborne scenario. This paper presents an investigation of one navigation-grade and one tactical-grade IMU for the possibility of low-cost INS/GPS airborne gravimetry. We use the data collected during the Gravity-Lidar Study of 2006 (GLS06), which contains aerogravity, GPS, and INS along the northern coastline of the Gulf of Mexico. The gravity disturbance estimates from the navigation-grade IMU show 0.5-3.2 mGal precision compared with the onboard gravimeter's measurements and better than 3 mGal precision compared with the upward continued surface control data. Due to relatively large (240 s) smoothing window, the results have about 34 km along-track resolution. But the gravity estimates from the tactical-grade IMU have much poorer precisions. Nonetheless, useful contributions from the tactical-grade IMU could be extracted for longer wavelengths. C1 Natl Geodet Survey, ERT, Silver Spring, MD 20901 USA.

Paternity analysis involving 15 mother/calf pairs and 8 potential fathers and whole-pedigree analysis of the entire sample produced consistent results. The variance in male reproductive success was greater than expected by chance and similar to that of other aquatic mammals. Although the number of confirmed paternities was small, reproductive success appeared to increase with male age and size. We found no evidence that males from outside this small population sired any of the sampled individuals. In contrast to previous results in a different population, many offspring were the result of matings within the same "pod" (long-term social group). Despite this pattern of breeding within social groups, we found no evidence of offspring produced by matings between close relatives, and the average internal relatedness of individuals was significantly less than expected if mating were random. The population's estimated effective size was < 30 or about 1/3 of the current census size. Patterns of allele frequency variation were consistent with a population bottleneck.

However, there exists no method for estimating the number of offspring that must be assigned parentage to achieve robust estimates of reproductive success when only a fraction of offspring can be sampled. We constructed a 2-stage model that first estimated the mean (mu) and variance (v) in reproductive success from published studies on salmonid fishes and then sampled offspring from reproductive success distributions simulated from the mu and v estimates. Results provided strong support for modeling salmonid reproductive success via the negative binomial distribution and suggested that few offspring samples are needed to reject the null hypothesis of uniform offspring production. However, the sampled reproductive success distributions deviated significantly (chi(2) goodness-of-fit test p value < 0.05) from the known simulated reproductive success distribution at rates often > 0.05 and as high as 0.24, even when hundreds of offspring were assigned parentage. In general, reproductive success patterns were less accurate when offspring were sampled from cohorts with larger numbers of parents and greater variance in reproductive success. Our model can be reparameterized with data from other species and will aid researchers in planning reproductive success studies by providing explicit sampling targets required to accurately assess reproductive success.

High-Resolution Electronic Spectra of Acenaphthene and Its Argon van der Waals Complex in the Gas Phase SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID FLUORESCENCE EXCITATION SPECTRUM; JET-COOLED NAPHTHALENE; SPECTROSCOPY; MOLECULES; S-1; AR AB Rotationally resolved fluorescence excitation spectroscopy has been used to study the dynamics, electronic distribution, and the relative orientation of the transition moment vector in several vibronic transitions of acenaphthene (ACN) and in its Ar van der Waals (vdW) complex. The 0 0 band of the S-1 <- S-0 transition of ACN exhibits a transition moment orientation parallel to its a-inertial axis. However, some of the vibronic bands exhibit a transition moment orientation parallel to the b-inertial axis, suggesting a Herzberg-Teller coupling with the S-2. state. Additionally, some other vibronic bands exhibit anomalous intensity patterns in several of their rotational transitions. A Fermi resonance involving two near degenerate vibrations has been proposed to explain this behavior. The high-resolution electronic spectrum of the ACN-ArvdW complex has also been obtained and fully analyzed. The results indicate that the wealdy attached argon atom is located on top of the plane of the bare molecule at similar to 3.48 angstrom away from its center of mass in the So electronic state.

A recent vibronic level study of b4HPM [Rodrigo, C. P.; Muller, C. W.; Pillsbury, N.R.; James, W.H., III; Plusquellic, D.F.; Zwier, T.S.J. Chem. Phys. 2011, 134, 164312] has assigned two conformers distinguished by the orientation of the in plane OH groups and has identified two excitonic origins in each conformer. In the present study, the rotationally resolved bands of all four states have been well-fit to asymmetric rotor Hamiltonians. For the lower exciton (S-1) levels, the transition dipole moment (TDM) orientations are perpendicular to the C-2 symmetry axes and consist of 41(2):59(2) and 34(2):66(2)% a:c hybrid-type character. The S-1 levels are therefore delocalized states of B symmetry and represent the antisymmetric combinations of the zero-order locally excited states of the p-cresol-like chromophores. The TDM polarizations of bands located at approximate to 132 cm(-1) above the S-1 origins are exclusively b-type and identify them as the upper exciton S-2 origin levels of A symmetry. The TDM orientations and the relative band strengths from the vibronic study have been analyzed within a dipole dipole coupling model in terms of the localized TDM orientations, mu(loc), on the two chromophores. The out plane angles of mu(loc) are both near 20 degrees and are similar to results for diphenylmethane [Stearns, J. A.; Pillsbury, N. R.; Douglass, K.O.; Muller, C. W.; Zwier, T. S.; Plusquellic, D. F. J. Chem. Phys. 2008, 129, 224305]. The in-plane angles are, however, rotated by 14 and 18 degrees relative to DPM and, in part, explain the smaller than expected exciton splittings of these two conformers.

TI Quantum State Resolved Scattering from Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids: The Role of Cation versus Anion Structure at the Interface SO JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A LA English DT Article ID INCIDENT COLLISION ENERGY; SUM-FREQUENCY GENERATION; CO2 SCATTERING; GAS SOLUBILITY; SALTY GLYCEROL; SURFACE; DYNAMICS; SPECTROSCOPY; DEPENDENCE; ATOMS AB We present results on state-resolved scattering studies for seeded CO(2) supersonically cooled molecular beams (E(inc) = 61.9(40) kJ/mol) from a series of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). These RTILs are composed of C(n)-methylimidazolium cations with BF(4)(-) or Tf(2)N(-) counter-anions. The final rovibrational quantum state distributions from these nonequilibrium surface scattering collisions are monitored by high-resolution diode laser absorption spectroscopy as a function of (i) cation alkyl chain length and (ii) anion size, and analyzed to yield the propensity for thermal desorption (TD) versus impulsive scattering (IS) dynamics. For a fixed BF(4)(-) or Tf(2)N(-) counteranion, the distributions reveal an increase in the TD fraction (a) with the C atom number (n) in the alkyl side chain, which provides evidence for selective preference of nonpolar groups at the gas liquid interface with increasing chain length. Conversely, for short carbon chains (n = 4), the thermal fraction decreases when the anion is changed from a compact and less polarizable BF(4)(-) to the bulkier and more polarizable Tf(2)N(-), whereas any sensitivity to anion identity essentially vanishes for longer alkyl chains (n = 8, 12). These combined data illustrate a number of interesting trends in anion versus cation competition for interfacial sites, specifically (i) the presence of interfacial anions at the surface layer for sufficiently short alkyl headgroups, (ii) inertial "stiffening" due to increasing average surface mass, as well as (iii) a propensity for larger anion sizes in the interfacial region. Finally, the TD probabilities follow the exact opposite trend in "bulk" Henry's Law solubility constants with respect to anion size, which further highlights the intrinsically nonequilibrium dynamics sampled by hyperthermal collisions at the gas-liquid interface.

In agreement with studies on other rutile-type minerals, the (110) surface is predicted to be the most stable surface, followed by the (100) surface and then the (101) surface. The (110) and (101) surfaces are found to oxidize by formation of stable manganyl groups (Mn=O) at high oxygen chemical potentials, whereas the (100) surface is not likely to be oxidized under experimentally relevant conditions. All of the beta-MnO2 surfaces studied undergo reduction processes in UHV, resulting in many complicated structural changes. A number of the reduced surfaces exhibit new surface reconstructions not yet observed for any rutile-type mineral. Analysis of the dependence of manganese coordination geometry on oxidation state is carried out to facilitate understanding of the surface reconstructions. It is determined that the competition between optimizing d-orbital occupation and minimizing steric and repulsive electrostatic interactions drives the surface reconstructions observed for reduced beta-MnO2 surfaces. Symmetry-breaking at the surface allows for Jahn-Teller distortion of the reduced Mn-III coordination sphere for some surface reconstructions. C1 [Oxford, Gloria A.

The variations of SAH and WPSH are objectively measured by the first singular value decomposition (SVD) mode of geopotential heights at the 100- and 500-hPa levels. The first SVD mode of summertime 100- and 500-hPa geopotential heights represents well the relationship between the variations of SAH and WPSH. Both SAH and WPSH exhibit large interannual variability and experienced an apparent long-term change in 1987. The WPSH intensifies and extends westward when SAH intensifies and extends eastward, and vice versa. The India-Burma trough weakens when WPSH intensifies. The changes in SAH and WPSH at various levels are linked to broad-scale increases in tropical tropospheric temperature and geopotential height. When SAH and WPSH strengthen, monsoon flow becomes weaker over eastern Asia. In the meantime, precipitation decreases over eastern South China Sea, Philippines, the Philippine Sea and northeastern Asia, but increases over China, Korea, Japan and the ocean domain east of Japan. Similar features are mostly found on both interdecadal and interannual timescales, but are more evident on interannual timescale.

TI Investigations of peritoneal and intestinal infections of adult hookworms (Uncinaria spp.) in northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) and California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups on San Miguel Island, California (2003) SO PARASITOLOGY RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID ANCYLOSTOMATIDAE; PREVALENCE; NEMATODA; BIOLOGY AB The peritoneal cavity (PNC) and intestine of northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) pups and California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups that died in late July and early August, 2003, on San Miguel Island, California, were examined for hookworms. Prevalence and morphometric studies were done with the hookworms in addition to molecular characterization. Based on this and previous molecular studies, hookworms from fur seals are designated as Uncinaria lucasi and the species from sea lions as Uncinaria species A. Adult hookworms were found in the PNC of 35 of 57 (61.4%) fur seal pups and of 13 of 104 (12.5%) sea lion pups. The number of hookworms located in the PNC ranged from 1 to 33 (median = 3) for the infected fur seal pups and 1 to 16 (median = 2) for the infected sea lion pups. In addition to the PNC, intestines of 43 fur seal and 32 sea lion pups were examined. All of these pups were positive for adult hookworms. The worms were counted from all but one of the sea lion pups. Numbers of these parasites in the intestine varied from 3 to 2,344 (median = 931) for the fur seal pups and 39 to 2,766 (median = 643) for the sea lion pups. Sea lion pups with peritoneal infections had higher intensity infections in the intestines than did pups without peritoneal infections, lending some support for the hypothesis that peritoneal infections result from high-intensity infections of adult worms. There was no difference in intestinal infection intensities between fur seal pups with and without peritoneal infections. Female adult hookworms in the intestines of both host species were significantly larger than males, and sea lion hookworms were larger than those in fur seals. Worms in the intestine also were larger than worms found in the PNC. Gene sequencing and (RFLP) analysis of (PCR) amplified (ITS) ribosomal DNA were used to diagnose the species of 172 hookworms recovered from the PNC and intestine of 18 C. ursinus and seven Z. californianus hosts. These molecular data revealed that U. lucasi (hookworm of C. ursinus) and Uncinaria species A (of Z. californianus) infrequently mature in the intestine of the opposite host species in California rookeries. However, there is no support from molecular data for the hypothesis that cross-infection with "the wrong" Uncinaria species is a contributing factor in these cases of host peritonitis. The major significance of this research is the unusual finding of adult hookworms in the PNC of so many dead pups. No obvious explanation for this occurrence could be determined. Further research, like in the present study, should help understand and monitor the apparent ever changing role of hookworm disease in the health of northern fur seal and California sea lion pups on SMI.

Leveraging advances in algorithms and increases in the available computational power, the integration of numerical predictions and observations has started to play an important role in air quality modeling. This paper gives an overview of several methodologies used in chemical data assimilation. We discuss the Bayesian framework for developing data assimilation systems, the suboptimal and the ensemble Kalman filter approaches, the optimal interpolation (OI), and the three and four dimensional variational methods.

Due to the many uncertainties intrinsically embedded in the parameterization of these processes, parameter optimization is often employed to determine an optimal set or range of values of the sensitive parameters. In this review study, we focus on the two of the most important physical processes: turbulent mixing and dry deposition. An emphasis was put on surveying AQ models that have been proven to resolve meso-scale features and cover a large geographical area, such as large regional, continental, or trans-continental boundary extents. Five AQ models were selected. Four of the models were run in real-time operational forecasting settings for continental scale AQ. The models use various forms of level 2.5 closure algorithms to calculate turbulent mixing. Tuning and parameter optimization has been used to tailor these algorithms to better suit their AQ models which are typically comprised of a coupled chemistry and meteorology model. Longer forecasts and long lead-times are inevitably under increasing demand for these models. Land Surface Models that have the capability for soil moisture and temperature data assimilation will have an advantage to constrain the key variables that govern the partitioning of surface sensible and latent heat fluxes and thus attain the potential to perform better in longer forecasts than those models that do not have this capability. Dry deposition velocity is a very significant model parameter that governs a major surface exchange activity. An exploratory study has been conducted to see the upper bound of roughness length in the similarity equation for aerodynamic resistance.

TI Small founding number and low genetic diversity in an introduced species exhibiting limited invasion success (speckled dace, Rhinichthys osculus) SO ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION LA English DT Article DE Bottleneck; exotic species; founder number; genetic diversity; introduced species; source population; speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus) ID MULTILOCUS GENOTYPE DATA; POPULATION-STRUCTURE; MICROSATELLITE LOCI; NORTH-AMERICA; PATTERNS; MARKERS; FISH; CYPRINIDAE; BOTTLENECK; RESISTANCE AB Molecular evaluations of successful invaders are common, however studies of introduced species that have had limited invasion success, or have died out completely, are rare. We studied an introduced population of speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus) from northern California, USA that has rapidly increased in abundance but remained restricted to a 25-km stretch of river since its introduction in the mid-1980s. Field and laboratory analyses indicate that invasion success of speckled dace is constrained by the combined effects of multiple predators. The role of bottleneck effects associated with the introduction has not been studied. We assayed variation in seven microsatellite loci and one mitochondrial DNA gene in the introduced population and nine putative source populations to identify the source population and evaluate bottleneck effects. The Trinity River system was supported as the source owing to its genetic similarity and geographic proximity to the introduced population. Consistent with a bottleneck, the introduced population exhibited reduced allelic and haplotype richness in comparison to source populations. Estimates of the genetically effective number of individuals founding the introduced population using nuclear coalescent analyses and a mitochondrial simulation procedure were highly concordant in suggesting that the initial colonizing group was comprised of about 10 individuals. A bottleneck effect in an exotic species exhibiting limited invasion success has rarely been documented and thus introduction of speckled dace represents an important model system for future investigation. Establishing a relationship between genetic diversity and factors limiting invasion success in this system (e. g., predator avoidance) will help determine the extent to which genetic diversity loss has constrained invasion success in speckled dace.

SPIDER'S main goal is to measure the amplitude of primordial gravitational waves through their imprint on the polarization of the CMB if the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r, is greater than 0.03. To achieve this goal, instrumental systematic errors must be controlled with unprecedented accuracy. Here, we build on previous work to use simulations of SPIDERobservations to examine the impact of several systematic effects that have been characterized through testing and modeling of various instrument components. In particular, we investigate the impact of the non-ideal spectral response of the half-wave plates, coupling between focal-plane components and Earth's magnetic field, and beam mismatches and asymmetries. We also present a model of diffuse polarized foreground emission based on a three-dimensional model of the Galactic magnetic field and dust, and study the interaction of this foreground emission with our observation strategy and instrumental effects. We find that the expected level of foreground and systematic contamination is sufficiently low for Spider to achieve its science goals. C1 [O'Dea, D. T.; Clark, C. N.; Contaldi, C.

Collision lethality increases with vessel speed and mitigation includes slowing ships in whale dense areas. The 2181 km(2) Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) is a site of numerous whale/ship collisions. To understand how speed reduction measures reduce lethal collisions, we used GIS to apply hypothetical speed reductions to observed ship traffic within SBNMS. During 2006, we collected complete AIS data from SBNMS vessel traffic. We created 1.85 km(2) (N = 810) grid cells covering SBNMS and determined each cell's predicted probability of lethality (PLETH) from the cell's mean speed and a mortality curve. We calculated average PLETH for the entire sanctuary (SPLETH), and used SPLETH to index status quo risk. We applied speed limits of 16, 14, 12, and 10 knots on transits and recalculated SPLETH for each scenario. Our analysis included 2,079,867 AIS points to derive 74,638 cell transits by 502 ships (>295 t). Sanctuary mean ship speed, by cell transit, was 13.5 knots (SD4.3, range 0.1-42.2). The choice of speed restriction had a major impact on SPLETH: 16 knots = -3.7%, 14 knots -11%, 12 knots = -29.4%, 10 knots = -56.7%. The conservation benefit of speed restrictions is influenced by the status quo speed of ships from which risk must be reduced. As most areas lack such data our results can provide managers with a better understanding of how speed restrictions might reduce risk in their waters. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This investigation was to generate (1) guidelines for designing a tensometer that satisfies the necessary accuracy and sensitivity requirements for measuring polymerization stress (PS), and (2) a formula for calculating PS. Polymerization stress remains one of the most critical properties of polymeric dental materials, yet methods that can accurately quantify PS have been limited in part due to the complexity of polymerization, and in part due to the instrumentation itself. Method. In this study, we performed analytical and finite element analyses on a cantilever-beam based tensometer that is used to evaluate shrinkage stresses during the polymerization of dental restorative composites. Results. The PS generated by a commercial dental composite determined using our new tensometer agrees with the predicted trend when the beam length and/or specimen height is varied. Significance. This work demonstrates the importance of beam dimension and component relative rigidity to the accuracy of PS evaluation. An analytical solution is also derived for the vertical beam deflection, which can be used for any combination of bending and shearing to properly calculate the PS. In addition, an easy-to-conduct calibration procedure is provided that is desirable for periodic tensometer recalibration. Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Academy of Dental Materials.

This connection was compared to three other connections utilizing tendons made of steel, martensitic nickel-titanium, and superelastic nickel-titanium paralleled with aluminum. The connections with steel and martensitic nickel-titanium tendons rapidly lost their stiffness after being cycled beyond their elastic drift levels. The two tests with the superelastic nickel-titanium tendons showed significant recentering capabilities; they recovered a large portion of the post-elastic drift and showed promise for a material-based recentering moment connection. This novel connection was intended as a proof of concept that can be further developed in terms of practicality, ease of installation, and cost.

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 (+/- 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(-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.

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.

Here we study a composition X = 0.61, annealed at 1055 degrees C, above the Fe-Ti ordering temperature, then quenched. Presence of two interface-coupled phases is established by pot-bellied character of the room-temperature magnetic hysteresis loop, and large negative magnetic exchange bias below 30K. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dark-field imaging with the 003 reflection shows dominant Fe-Ti disordered antiferromagnetic and lesser ordered ferrimagnetic phases, the latter in lenses <= 8 nm thick. Parts of the ordered phase are in antiphase relationship, shown by high-resolution TEM imaging of Fe-rich and Ti-rich layers. TEM-EDX analyses indicate chemical phase separation during quench, with dominant compositions X = 0.56-0.63, extremes 0.50 and 0.70. Thermomagnetic experiments indicate compositions X = 0.56-0.61 are antiferromagnetic, X = 0.61-0.64 are ferrimagnetic. A sample held similar to 5 min at 1063 K, increased in order, demonstrated by twofold increase in induced moment at 1 T. This then acquired self-reversed thermoremanent magnetization between 490 and 440 K. Progressive annealings of another sample at 773 K, 973 K, 1023K and 1063 K, followed by cooling in a 1 T field, produced positive room-temperature magnetic exchange bias, only for 1023K and 1063K runs. These properties suggest growth of ordered regions from disordered regions, and expansion of some ordered domains against others across antiphase boundaries, thus creating self-organized structures essential for magnetic self-reversal and magnetic exchange bias.

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.

TI Sampling errors create bias in Markov models for community dynamics: the problem and a method for its solution SO OECOLOGIA LA English DT Article DE Succession; Sampling error; Markov; Intertidal; Transition probabilities ID SUCCESSION AB Repeated, spatially explicit sampling is widely used to characterize the dynamics of sessile communities in both terrestrial and aquatic systems, yet our understanding of the consequences of errors made in such sampling is limited. 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.

Orbitally resolved observations are used to show that hot gas emission lines, arising only in the stellar atmosphere, are not variable, while lower ionizations species found in the upper atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b absorb stellar photons during transit. For both C II and Si III, we find mean transit attenuation of similar to 8%. The firm detection of silicon is in direct conflict with previous low-resolution studies, which we attribute to long-term variability in the system. We also use these observations to search for auroral emission from the planet, detecting a statistically significant emission feature at 1582 that is consistent with H-2 photoexcited by stellar O I photons.

TI Dispersion stability of nanoparticles in ecotoxicological investigations: the need for adequate measurement tools SO JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Nanoparticles; Dispersions; Nanomaterial characterisation; Nanometrology; Environmental and health effects ID DYNAMIC LIGHT-SCATTERING; TRACKING ANALYSIS; SAFETY EVALUATION; PARTICLE-SIZE; ENVIRONMENT AB One of the main challenges in nanoecotoxicological investigations is in the selection of the most suitable measurement methods and protocols for nanoparticle characterisation. Several parameters have been identified as being important as they govern nanotoxicological activity, with some parameters being better defined than others. For example, as a parameter, there is some ambiguity as to how to measure dispersion stability in the context of ecotoxicological investigations; indeed, there is disagreement over which are the best methods to measure nanoparticle dispersion stability. The purpose of this article is to use various commercially available tools to measure dispersion stability and to understand the information given by each tool. In this study, CeO(2) was dispersed in two different types of media: de-ionised water and electrolyte-containing fish medium. The DLS mean particle size of freshly dispersed sample in DI water was similar to 200 nm in diameter. A visual sedimentation experiment showed that nanoparticle dispersion made in the fish medium was less stable compared to corresponding dispersion in de-ionised water. Stability of these dispersions was monitored using various techniques, for a period of 3 days. Our findings have shown that dispersion stability can be suitably assessed by monitoring: (a) surface charge, (b) sedimentation events and (c) presence of agglomerates, through time. The majority of techniques employed here (zeta potential, particle size via DLS, fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy and SEM) were shown to provide useful, complementary information on dispersion stability. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) provides useful, quantitative information on the concentration of nanoparticles in suspension, but is limited by its inability to accurately track the motion of large agglomerates found in the fish medium.

There were 337 species m(-2) in the mid-shelf mud zone (80 m). There were fewer species along the slope: 205 m(-2) from the lower slope (950-2000 m) and 335 m(-2) on the upper slope (250-750 m). Species density was highest inside the bay (328-446 m(-2)) compared to outside (336-339 m(-2)), when examining samples at selected water depths (60-1000 m). There was little difference in local species density from 1 km of shoreline compared to regional species density along 1000 km of shoreline at both shelf and slope depths. The highest species densities worldwide in the literature are recorded along the Carolina slope in the Atlantic Ocean, where peak species density (436/0.81 m(2)) at 800 m and values at the largest sample areas are similar to those on the Monterey Bay shelf. We speculate that the highest species densities occur where ocean water exchanges energy with shoaling topography at the continental margin, bringing more food to the benthos - areas such as the very productive waters in the upwelling system of Monterey Bay.

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 C-13 and delta S-34 values of the benthic microalgal community varied with taxonomic composition (diatoms versus cyanobacteria) and to a lesser extent with season. Depleted delta N-15 values of benthic diatoms and macroalgae indicated that N-2 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 C-13 and depleted in N-15 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.

Patterns of cetacean bycatch and depredation in Hawaii-based pelagic longline fisheries SO MARINE ECOLOGY-AN EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE LA English DT Article DE Bycatch; cetacean; depredation; false killer whale; generalized additive models; pelagic longline ID MARINE MAMMALS; IMPACTS; US 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 100 km 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.

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.

A thermodynamic analysis shows that the capillary pressure exerted at that RH shifts the solubility of tricalcium silicate, so that it is in equilibrium with water. This is a reflection of the chemical shrinkage in this system: according to Le Chatelier's principle, since the volume of the products is less than that of the reactants, a negative (capillary) pressure opposes the reaction.

Here we provide a detailed description of the RAPID-MOC monitoring array and how it has evolved during the first four deployment years, as well as an overview of the main findings so far. The RAPID-MOC monitoring array measures: (1) Gulf Stream transport through Florida Strait by cable and repeat direct velocity measurements; (2) Ekman transports by satellite scatterometer measurements; (3) Deep Western Boundary Currents by direct velocity measurements; (4) the basin wide interior baroclinic circulation from moorings measuring vertical profiles of density at the boundaries and on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge; and (5) barotropic fluctuations using bottom pressure recorders. The array became operational in late March 2004 and is expected to continue until at least 2014. The first 4 years of observations (April 2004-April 2008) have provided an unprecedented insight into the MOC structure and variability. We show that the zonally integrated meridional flow tends to conserve mass, with the fluctuations of the different transport components largely compensating at periods longer than 10 days. We take this as experimental confirmation of the monitoring strategy, which was initially tested in numerical models. The MOC at 26.5 degrees N is characterised by a large variability even on timescales as short as weeks to months. The mean maximum MOC transport for the first 4 years of observations is 18.7 Sv with a standard deviation of 4.8 Sv. The mechanisms causing the MOC variability are not yet fully understood. Part of the observed MOC variability consists of a seasonal cycle, which can be linked to the seasonal variability of the wind stress curl close to the African coast. Close to the western boundary, fluctuations in the Gulf Stream and in the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) coincide with bottom pressure variations at the western margin, thus suggesting a barotropic compensation. Ongoing and future research will put these local transport variations into a wider spatial and climatic context. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The recent Rapid monitoring project has provided time series information for the mid-ocean geostrophic shear since 2004. This work presents methods to assemble a comparable dataset from CTD end stations and boundary mooring temperature and pressure time series to estimate the past variability from 1980 to 2005. Variability in the end station derived transport anomalies suggests that the MOC has fluctuated by more than 10 Sv, encompassing all MOC estimates reported in the literature. Interannual changes in MOC transport are masked by this variability and calculated trends in layer transports are not statistically significant. More extensive datasets of CTD casts and moored temperature records at the western boundary do show significant changes with warming in the thermocline and long-term freshening of the deep waters between the 1980s and 2005. These changes are associated with stronger southward flow in the upper waters and weaker southward flow in the deep waters, and suggest a decrease in the MOC strength of 2-4 Sv. Any such decrease, however, is masked by the scale of variability in layer transports derived from the historical database of CTD end stations. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This circulation pattern, in which cold waters flow poleward and warm waters equatorward, generates a distinct heat flux that is directed from the poles towards the equator. Observations and models indicate that the South Atlantic is not just a passive conduit but that its circulation influences significantly the water mass structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). These transformations occur across the whole basin but are most intensified in regions of high mesoscale variability. Models and observations also show that the South Atlantic plays a significant role in the establishment of oceanic teleconnections. Anomalies generated in the Southern Ocean, for example, are transmitted through inter-ocean exchanges to the northern basins. These results highlight the need for sustained observations in the South Atlantic and Southern Ocean, which, in conjunction with modeling efforts, would improve the understanding of the processes necessary to formulate long-term climate predictions.

Based on these fingerprints of the AMOC in the GFDL CM2.1 coupled climate model, a linear statistical predictive model of observed fingerprints of AMOC variability is developed in this study. The statistical model predicts a weakening of AMOC strength in a few years after its peak around 2005. Here, we show that in the GFDL coupled climate model assimilated with observed subsurface temperature data, including recent Argo network data (2003-2008), the leading mode of the North Atlantic T-sub anomalies is similar to that found with the objectively analyzed T-sub data and highly correlated with the leading mode of altimetry SSH anomalies for the period 1993-2008. A statistical auto-regressive (AR) model is fit to the time-series of the leading mode of objectively analyzed detrended North Atlantic T-sub anomalies (1955-2003) and is applied to assimilated T-sub and altimetry SSH anomalies to make predictions. A similar statistical AR model, fit to the time-series of the leading mode of modeled T-sub anomalies from the 1000-year GFDL CM2.1 control simulation, is applied to predict modeled T-sub, SSH, and AMOC anomalies. The two AR models show comparable skills in predicting observed T-sub and modeled T-sub, SSH and AMOC variations. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This issue is addressed for a class of unbalanced linear designs which include classical growth curve models. The solution obtained is similar to the popular DerSimonian and Laird (1986) method for a simple meta-analysis model. By using almost unbiased variance estimators, an estimator of the covariance matrix of this procedure is derived.

TI The perils and promise of futures analysis in marine ecosystem-based management SO MARINE POLICY LA English DT Article DE Scenario analysis; Ecosystem-based management; Marine ecosystems; Futures ID GLOBAL SCENARIOS; CLIMATE-CHANGE; SERVICES; IMPACT; UNCERTAINTY; ECOLOGY AB Ecosystem-based management is now widely accepted as the standard strategy for achieving sustainable delivery of marine and estuarine ecosystem services. 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.

TI Detecting Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in the Southern Ocean using research trawls and underwater imagery SO MARINE POLICY LA English DT Article DE Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems; Antarctic benthic invertebrates; Fisheries management ID BENTHIC COMMUNITIES; BIODIVERSITY; ANTARCTICA; PATTERNS; SEA AB To ensure that destructive bottom fishing activities do not have significant adverse impacts on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in high seas areas of the World Ocean, as required by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 61-105, knowledge of the locations of VMEs is required. 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 11 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 17 VMEs. The VMEs from both the 2006 and 2009 data are now registered and influence the management of fisheries in the Southern Ocean. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Black turtle; Carbon; Chelonia mydas; Chelonidae; Isotope mixing models; Nitrogen ID SAN-DIEGO BAY; CHELONIA-MYDAS; FEEDING ECOLOGY; SEAGRASS BEDS; HABITAT USE; CALIFORNIA; CARBON; FRACTIONATION; DIGESTIBILITY; INVERTEBRATES AB The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, is a circumglobal species that is susceptible to overexploitation as a food resource, incidental mortality in fisheries, and coastal foraging habitat degradation, all of which have contributed to its listing as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. 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 C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) 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 C-13 and delta N-15 values in skin of green turtles in this study ranged from -18.9 parts per thousand to -13.7 parts per thousand and 11.0 parts per thousand to 19.3 parts per thousand, respectively, whereas the values for potential foods ranged from -22.6 parts per thousand to -11.5 parts per thousand for delta C-13 and 10.4 parts per thousand to 15.9 parts per thousand for delta N-15. 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.

TI Realistic Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling for neutral atoms SO PHYSICAL REVIEW A LA English DT Article AB We describe a new class of atom-laser coupling schemes which lead to spin-orbit-coupled Hamiltonians for ultracold neutral atoms. By properly setting the optical phases, a pair of degenerate pseudospin (a linear combination of internal atomic) states emerge as the lowest-energy eigenstates in the spectrum and are thus immune to collisionally induced decay. These schemes use N cyclically coupled ground or metastable internal states. We focus on two situations: a three-level case and a four-level case, where the latter adds a controllable Dresselhaus contribution. We describe an implementation of the four-level scheme for Rb-87 and analyze its sensitivity to typical laboratory noise sources. Last, we argue that the Rashba Hamiltonian applies only in the large intensity limit since any laser coupling scheme will produce terms nonlinear in momentum that decline with intensity.

The theory describes the interplay between quasi-phasematching (QPM) and the cavity-resonance conditions. For optimal conversion, all waves should be resonant with the microdisk and should satisfy the (4) over bar -QPM condition. We explore chi((2)) nonlinear mixing if one of the waves is not resonant with the microdisk cavity and calculate the second-harmonic conversion spectrum. We also describe perfectly destructive (4) over bar -QPM where both the fundamental and second-harmonic are on-resonance with the cavity but SHG is suppressed.

TI Probing high-energy electronic excitations in NiO using inelastic neutron scattering SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID MAGNETIC EXCITATIONS; RAMAN-SCATTERING; TRANSITIONS AB High-energy local multiplet excitations of the d electrons are revealed in our inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the prototype magnetic insulator NiO. These become allowed by the presence of both nonzero crystal field and spin-orbit coupling. The observed excitations are consistent with optical, x-ray, and EELS measurements of d-d excitations. This experiment serves as a proof of principle that high-energy neutron spectroscopy is a reliable and useful technique for probing electronic excitations in systems with significant crystal-field and spin-orbit interactions.

By analyzing the results within the framework of a modified Neel-Brown formalism, we determine the effective attempt time of the nanoparticle and also the bias dependences of the in-plane and out-of-plane spin-transfer torques. There is a significant linear modification of the effective temperature with voltage due to the in-plane torque and a significant contribution of a "field-like" torque that is quadratic with voltage. The methods presented here do not require complicated models for device heating or calibration procedures but instead directly measure how temperature, field, and voltage influence the energy landscape and thermal fluctuations of a two-state system. These results should have significant implications for designs of future nanometer-scale magnetic random access memory elements and provide a straightforward methodology to determine these parameters in other MTJ device structures.

In this paper, we reinterpret the well known Steele 10-4-3 potential for a gas molecule interacting with a planar surface, and use the resultant scheme to derive new potentials for cylindrical and spherical pore geometries. These new potentials correctly recover the Steele result in the limit of infinite pore radius, a useful improvement over existing models. We demonstrate the new cylindrical Steele 10-4-3 potential in calculations of argon adsorption via fluid density functional theory. This potential yields markedly different adsorption behavior than existing cylindrical potentials, which follow from small but significant differences in both the strength and the shape of the fluid-surface interaction. These differences cannot be fully reconciled simply by reparameterizing (scaling) the existing models; the new potential is more realistic in design, and is especially to be preferred in studies where comparison with planar substrates is made. Finally, we discuss extensions of this approach to more complicated pore geometries, yielding a family of Steele-like potentials that all satisfy the correct planar limit.

TI Stochastic variability of oceanic flows above topography anomalies SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID ARGENTINE BASIN; CIRCULATION; TRANSPORT; MODEL AB We describe a stochastic variability mechanism which is genuinely internal to the ocean, i.e., not due to fluctuations in atmospheric forcing. The key ingredient is the existence of closed contours of bottom topography surrounded by a stirring region of enhanced eddy activity. This configuration leads to the formation of a robust but highly variable vortex above the topography anomaly. The vortex dynamics integrates the white noise forcing of oceanic eddies into a red noise signal for the large scale volume transport of the vortex. The strong interannual fluctuations of the transport of the Zapiola anticyclone (similar to 100 Sv) in the Argentine basin are argued to be partly due to such eddy-driven stochastic variability, on the basis of a 310 years long simulation of a comprehensive global ocean model run driven by a repeated-year forcing.

TI The ideal response of a Gulf of Mexico estuary plume to wind forcing: Its connection with salt flux and a Lagrangian view SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID BUOYANT COASTAL DISCHARGE; COLUMBIA RIVER PLUME; CONTINENTAL-SHELF; NUMERICAL-MODEL; BAY; VARIABILITY; SALINITY; OUTFLOW; WATERS; OCEAN AB The plume structure of Perdido Bay Estuary (PBE), a typical bay on the Florida-Alabama coast along the Gulf of Mexico, was simulated using an existing calibrated model. To better understand plume dynamics in the PBE and similar bay systems, idealized sensitivity experiments were conducted to examine the influence of wind stress on the 3-D plume signature: the results indicate that wind speed and direction significantly influence plume orientation, area, width, length, and depth. The plume size was reduced under the effect of wind and increased wind forcing. Among wind-forced cases, the plume is largest for northerly (offshore) winds and smallest for southerly (onshore) winds. Bay-shelf salt flux and water flux were also investigated, since they are important for the formation of a 3-D plume structure. Model simulations show that water outflow to the coastal ocean is strongest under northerly winds and can be stopped by southerly winds. For moderately strong winds, the outflow and plume size are larger for easterly downwelling-favorable winds than for westerly upwelling-favorable winds; the opposite is true for outflow and plume size for these two wind directions under stronger winds. For all wind directions, the ratio of salt flux and water flux at the bay mouth increases with wind speed. This ratio trend is consistent with higher outflow salinities, and this decreased buoyancy signature, along with more energetic vertical mixing, reduces plume size. A detailed understanding of this water and salt flux is essential to the plume dynamics studied here and for other plumes. Additional particle transport analysis using variable wind forcing was conducted to determine the influence of the plume on particle movement. The results showed a consistency between the surface plume, salt flux, and particle transport and illustrate the strong effects that winds have on particle fate and dispersion.

It is significantly reduced within a distance of about several tens of kilometers. A ring of enhancement occurs at a greater distance. At still larger distances from the transmitter, effects of multiple scattering are weakened and the integral intensity returns to its undisturbed value. While there are experimental confirmations of the "anomalous attenuation" effect near the transmitter location, no attempt has yet been made to track the intensity features at the larger distances. This paper presents results of the first experimental campaign of this kind that was conducted in September-November 2009 in and around Boulder, CO. The results obtained confirm that significant deviations from the predictions of geometrical optics occur, and these deviations are in general agreement with the theory of multiple scattering in the ionosphere.

TI Detection of Asian dust in California orographic precipitation SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-ATMOSPHERES LA English DT Article ID MINERAL DUST; ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS; AIR-POLLUTION; MIXED-PHASE; CLOUD MICROPHYSICS; PACIFIC-OCEAN; WATER-VAPOR; ICE NUCLEI; AEROSOL; PARTICLES AB Aerosols impact the microphysical properties of clouds by serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN). By modifying cloud properties, aerosols have the potential to alter the location and intensity of precipitation, but determining the magnitude and reproducibility of aerosol-induced changes to precipitation remains a significant challenge to experimentalists and modelers. During the CalWater Early Start campaign (22 February to 11 March 2009), a uniquely comprehensive set of atmospheric chemistry, precipitation, and meteorological measurements were made during two extratropical cyclones. These two storms showed enhanced integrated water vapor concentrations and horizontal water vapor transports due to atmospheric river conditions and, together, produced 23% of the annual precipitation and 38% of the maximum snowpack at California's Central Sierra Snow Lab (CSSL). Precipitation measurements of insoluble residues showed very different chemistry occurring during the two storms with the first one showing mostly organic species from biomass burning, whereas the second storm showed a transition from biomass burning organics to the dominance of Asian dust. As shown herein, the dust was transported across the Pacific during the second storm and became incorporated into the colder high-altitude precipitating orographic clouds over the Sierra Nevada. The second storm produced 1.4 times as much precipitation and increased the snowpack by 1.6 times at CSSL relative to the first storm. As described in previous measurement and modeling studies, dust can effectively serve as ice nuclei, leading to increased riming rates and enhanced precipitation efficiency, which ultimately can contribute to differences in precipitation. Future modeling studies will help deconvolute the meteorological, microphysical, and aerosol factors leading to these differences and will use CalWater's meteorological and aerosol observations to constrain the model-based interpretations. The ultimate goal of such combined efforts is to use the results to improve aerosol-cloud impacts on precipitation in regional climate models.
