Coastal Mapping Program of  Port of Tacoma, WA, WA2505-CS-N

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of  Port of Tacoma, WA .  This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

NOAA NCCOS Assessment: Prioritizing Areas for Future Seafloor Mapping, Research, and Exploration Offshore of California, Oregon, and Washington

Spatial information about the seafloor is critical for decision-making by marine resource science, management and tribal organizations. Coordinating data needs can help organizations leverage collective resources to meet shared goals. To help enable this coordination, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a spatial framework, process and online application to identify common data collection priorities for seafloor mapping, sampling and visual surveys offshore of the West Continental United States Coast (WCC). Twenty-six participants from NOAAÃ¢ÂÂs West Coast Deep Sea Coral Initiative (WCDSCI) and Expanding Pacific Research and Exploration of Submerged Systems (EXPRESS) entered their priorities in an online application, using virtual coins to denote their priorities in 10x10 minute grid cells. Grid cells with more coins were higher priorities than cells with fewer coins. Participants also reported why these locations were important and what data types were needed. Results were analyzed and mapped using statistical techniques to identify significant relationships between priorities, reasons for those priorities and data needs. Ten high priority locations were broadly identified for future mapping, sampling and visual surveys. These locations were distributed throughout the WCC, primarily in depths less than 1,000 m. Participants consistently selected (1) Exploration, (2) Biota/Important Natural Area and (3) Research as their top reasons (i.e., justifications) for prioritizing locations, and (1) Benthic Habitat Map and (2) Bathymetry and Backscatter as their top data or product needs. This ESRI shapefile summarizes the results from this spatial prioritization effort. This information will enable NOAA WCDSCI, EXPRESS and other WCC organization to more efficiently leverage resources and coordinate their mapping of high priority locations along California, Oregon and Washington.

Fundamental Hyperelastic Material Study Project

&lt;p&gt;This research is part of an innovative effort to use hyperelastic materials&amp;nbsp;to produce flexible and seamless aircraft structures that reduce drag&amp;nbsp;and minimize acoustic noise. Hyperelastic materials, such as rubber,&amp;nbsp;have a non-linear stress-strain relationship, which often complicates the&amp;nbsp;modeling process. Therefore, CIF funding is being used to gain increased&amp;nbsp;knowledge regarding the properties of hyperelastic materials and develop&amp;nbsp;improved finite element analysis (FEA) models. This research effort&amp;nbsp;builds on the knowledge gained from the Adaptive Compliant Trailing&amp;nbsp;Edge (ACTE) experimental flight research project. The ACTE project&amp;nbsp;will demonstrate the structure technology in flight, and this technology&amp;nbsp;has been shown to improve aircraft aerodynamic efficiency and reduce&amp;nbsp;airport-area noise generated during takeoffs and landings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Work to date:&lt;/strong&gt; The Armstrong development team has fabricated the biaxial&amp;nbsp;strain test hardware and completed initial bubble test planning. The team&amp;nbsp;is working to obtain biaxial strain properties and develop an FEA model&amp;nbsp;that simulates the material properties and failure characteristics. In 2014, the team fine-tuned the modeling by&amp;nbsp;comparing the predicted output to an actual bubble test of the material.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Partner:&lt;/strong&gt; FlexSys Inc. is the industry partner on this effort, as it owns the&amp;nbsp;design patent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Economical:&lt;/strong&gt; Use of hyperelastic material&amp;nbsp;increases fuel efficiency by reducing drag&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quieter:&lt;/strong&gt; Novel wing flap reduces noise&amp;nbsp;associated with takeoffs and landings both in&amp;nbsp;the aircraft cabin and on the ground&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Applications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aircraft wing flaps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Helicopter blades&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Motor vehicles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trains&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ships&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

North American Landscape Characterization

The North American Landscape Characterization (NALC) project is a  component of the Landsat Pathfinder Program, which is part of a larger  Pathfinder Program initiated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1989.  The NALC project is a cooperative effort between NASA, the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Geological Survey to make Landsat data available to the  widest possible user community for scientific research and for the general public interest.  The objectives of the NALC project are to develop standardized remotely sensed data sets and analysis methods in support of investigations of changes in land cover, to  develop inventories of terrestrial carbon stocks, to assess carbon cycling dynamics, and to map terrestrial sources of greenhouse gas (CO, CO2, CH4, and N2) emissions. The NALC data set is comprised of hundreds of triplicates (i.e., multispectral scanner (MSS) data acquired in the years 1973, 1986, and 1991 plus or minus 1 year, thus, the name triplicate).  The NALC triplicates also include digital elevation model data.  The specific temporal windows vary for geographical regions based on the seasonal characteristics of the vegetation cover.  In accordance with the Landsat  Pathfinder Program concept, the Pathfinder basic data sets are to be comprised of data which have had systematic radiometric and systematic geometric corrections applied to them.  The NALC triplicates, however, are precision corrected for geocoding purposes.

SIRS/Nimbus-4 Level 1 Radiance Data V001 (SIRSN4L1) at GES DISC

SIRSN4L1 is the Nimbus-4 Satellite Infrared Spectrometer (SIRS) Level 1 Radiance Data product. SIRS measured infrared radiation (11 to 36 micrometers) emitted from the earth and its atmosphere in 13 selected spectral intervals in the carbon dioxide and water vapor bands plus one channel in the 11-micrometer atmospheric window. The radiances were used to determine the vertical temperature and water vapor profiles of the atmosphere. The data were recovered from the original 6250 tapes, and are now stored online as daily files in their original proprietary binary format each with about 14 orbits per day.

The Nimbus-4 SIRS used a scan mirror to observe 12.5 deg to either side of the subsatellite track. Spatial coverage is near global from latitude -85 to +85 degrees. The data are available from 08 April 1970 (day of year 98) to 08 April 1971. The principal investigator for the SIRS experiment was Dr. David Q. Wark from the NOAA National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service.

This product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAD-00130 (old ID 70-025A-04A).

Towards A Model-based Prognostics Methodology for Electrolytic Capacitors: A Case Study Based on Electrical Overstress Accelerated Aging

A remaining useful life prediction methodology for elec- trolytic capacitors is presented. This methodology adopts a Kalman filter approach in conjunction with an empirical state-based degradation model to predict the degradation of capacitor parameters through the life of the capacitor. Elec- trolytic capacitors are used in several applications ranging from power supplies on critical avionics equipment to power drivers for electro-mechanical actuators. These devices are known for their comparatively low reliability and given their criticality in electronics subsystems they are good candi- dates for component level prognostics and health manage- ment. Prognostics provides a way to assess remaining use- ful life of a capacitor based on its current state of health and its anticipated future usage and operational conditions. This paper discusses the empirical degradation models and experi- mental results of an accelerated aging test performed on a set of identical capacitors subjected to electrical stress. The data form the basis for developing the Kalman-filter based remain- ing life prediction algorithm.

Investigation of anomalous transport in the lower thermosphere Project

&lt;p align="LEFT"&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;font size="3"&gt;Near-simultaneously deployed chemical tracer trails over an extended horizontal range will be used to obtain measurements of the turbulent structure function and (the pair) relative velocity distribution over a range of spatial scales covering a full decade. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;font size="3"&gt;Trimethyl aluminum trails (TMA) released in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere have been used to trace the neutral motions over 500 times since 1958. Such releases are a simple and reliable method for obtaining horizontal velocities with good accuracy and height resolution. Deriving the diffusion characteristics is more difficult but two detailed studies of the expansion rates have been carried out. Analyses from the earlier experiments show enhanced or anomalous diffusion rates in a 10 to 15 km altitude range above the turbopause. (MAJOR)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;font size="3"&gt;Even if only partially successful, this study is expected to contribute significantly to our understanding of turbulent motions in the atmosphere as turbulence at small scales is currently poorly understood. (MINOR)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

SCR/Nimbus-4 Level 1 Calibrated Radiances V001 (SCRN4L1RAD) at GES DISC

SCRN4L1RAD is the Nimbus-4 Selective Chopper Radiometer (SCR) Level 1 Calibrated Radiances data product. The calibrated radiances are measured at 6 channels from 2.3 to 15 micrometers with a ground resolution of 25 km, and are "declouded" (interpolated and smoothed across regions of cloud). The radiances were used to obtain the temperatures of six successive 10-km layers of the atmosphere from earth or cloudtop level to 60-km height. The data were recovered from the original 9-track tapes, and are now stored online as daily files in their original proprietary binary format with about 14 orbits per day.

Spatial coverage is near global from latitude -80 to +80 degrees. The data are available from 27 July 1970 (day of year 208) to 20 February 1973 (day of year 51). The channel 1 temperature monitoring system failed on June 15, 1970, thereby reducing the accuracy of the SCR data. Channels 3 and 4 became noisy and unusable on April 18, 1972. The principal investigator for the SCR experiment was Dr. John T. Houghton from Oxford University.                                         

This product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAD-00096 (old ID 78-098A-10E).

Discovery of Abnormal Flight Patterns in Flight Track Data

The National Airspace System (NAS) is an ever changing and complex engineering system. As the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is developed, there will be an increased emphasis on safety and operational and environmental efficiency. Current operations in the NAS are
monitored using a variety of data sources, including data from flight recorders, radar track data, weather data, and other massive data collection systems. Although numerous technologies exist to
monitor the frequency of known but undesirable behaviors in the NAS, there are currently few methods that can analyze the large repositories to discover new and previously unknown events in the NAS. Having a tool to discover events that have implications for safety or incidents of operational importance, increases the awareness of such scenarios in the community and helps to broaden the overall safety of the NAS, whereas only monitoring the frequency of known events can only provide mitigations for already established problems. This paper discusses a novel approach for discovering operationally significant events in the NAS that are currently not monitored and have potential safety
and/or efficiency implications using radar-track data. This paper will discuss the discovery algorithm and describe in detail some flights of interest with comments from subject matter experts who are familiar with the operations in the airspace that was studied.
