## Solenoid effects--1

**30G Solenoid field can reduce the e-cloud density with a factor**** 2000 ****!**
**Zero density within beam**

- 0G

- 10G

- 30G

## E-cloud in Dipole magnets

- Multipacting happen at the horizontal chamber center
- E-cloud is about 2 times smaller than drift region

## E-cloud in Quadrupole and sextupole magnets

**Weak multipacting happens only near the middle of the pole surface**
**No Trapping for long bunch! (trap was suspected, PSR-94-005) **

*Ecloud in sextupole*

*Ecloud in quadrupole*

## Electrode clearing effect vs Clearing voltage(SNS Tech note 128, to be published)

**e-cloud density vs clearing fields**

**Weak field(~200V) is very helpful**
**Strong multipacting at 12kV, which could be stronger than zero field case**

## Mechanism of strong multipacting due to clearing field

**0V**

**200V**

**500V**

**2000V**

**5000V**

## E-cloud distribution at different time for 500V clearing field

- t=420ns

- t=630ns

- t=700ns

**Clearing field can cause the particle polarized toward the clearing field direction. As a result,    it causes strong multipacting near the positive electrode.**

**College Park, MD**

## Outline

** ****History of NWS verification program**
** ****Methodology**
** ****Results**
** ****Conclusions**

## History of NWS Verification Program

** ****April 1966 – begins**
***Initially compared NMC subjective guidance and NWS local forecasts for max/min temperature and PoP***
** ****April 1970 –perfect prog max/min guidance replaces NMC guidance**
** ****January 1972 – MOS PoP guidance replaces NMC guidance**
** ****August 1973 – MOS max/min guidance replaces perfect prog guidance**

## Forecast Elements

**Max/Min Temperature**
**Probability of Precipitation**

**Local forecast is for **
**daytime max/nighttime min**
**Local forecast is for 1200-0000 UTC (day) and 0000-1200 UTC (night)**

## Forecast Projections

**0000 UTC cycle**
**(* Added in October 1975 **
**for temperature; in Summer 2002 for PoP)**
**1200 UTC cycle**

** ****Today **
** ****Tonight **
** ****Tomorrow**
** ****Tomorrow Night ***
**Tonight**
**Tomorrow**
**Tomorrow Night**
**Day after Tomorrow ***

## Methodology

** ****80 CONUS sites**
** ****Verification statistics for warm (Apr. - Sept.) and cool (Oct. – Mar.) seasons**
** “****Official” verification observation**
** “****Official” guidance**
** ****Fixed climate standard (1961- 90 normals for max/min; 1972- 85 relative frequencies for PoP)**** **

## Verification Sites

## Verification Measures

** ****Max/Min Temperature**
***Mean Absolute Error***
**PoP**
***Improvement in Brier Score relative to climate***

## Significant Changes to “Official” Guidance

** ****January 1972 -- PE-based MOS PoP**
** ****August 1973 -- PE-based MOS max/min**
** ****April 1980 -- LFM-based MOS **
** ****November 1985 -- daytime max/nighttime min**
** ****June 1993 -- NGM-based MOS **
** ****Summer 2002 -- GFS-based MOS**

## Max Temperature – Cool Season (0000 UTC Cycle)

## Max Temperature – Warm Season (0000 UTC Cycle)

## Min Temperature – Cool Season (1200 UTC Cycle)

## Min Temperature – Warm Season (1200 UTC Cycle)

## PoP – Cool Season(0000/1200 UTC Cycles Combined)

## PoP – Warm Season(0000/1200 UTC Cycles Combined)

## Conclusions

**  ****Public weather forecasts and guidance have improved during the period**
**  ****Quality of day 2 local forecasts now is equal to that of the day 1 forecasts ~ 20 years ago**
**  ****Quality of day 2 guidance now is equal to that of the day 1 guidance ~ 10 years ago**
**  ****Skill of PoPs is higher in cool season; errors in max/min are greater in cool season, but so is rate of improvement **
** ****High correlation between quality of guidance and local forecasts**

## Assimilation of MLS ozone data 

**Assimilation of MLS ozone data**

**I. Stajner, K. Wargan, L.-P. Chang, **
**H. Hayashi, and S. Pawson,**
- Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), NASA/Goddard
- Aura Validation Meeting                        Greenbelt, September 2005

## Previous work (shown in March)

**MLS** (for pressure <= 100 hPa) and **OMI** ozone data were assimilated into a CTM.
- At pressures <= 100 hPa:
- Very good agreement was found with independent SAGE III and ozone sonde data
- Temporal and spatial variability are well represented.
- The quality of Aura assimilated ozone is superior to operational SBUV/2 assimilation

## Comparison with SAGE III

- Assimilation of **Aura MLS** and **OMI** data reproduces the mean **profile shape** in the **lower stratosphere** and its **variability** with latitude better than the assimilation of SBUV/2 data.

- Mean profiles from:
**_ SAGE III**
**_ Aura assimilation**
**_ SBUV/2 assimilation**

- Sunrise
- near 37°S

- Sunset
- near 67°N

- MLS data are available
- for January 9-13.
- The comparisons are at
- SAGE III measurement
- locations on
- January 11-13.

## What is the quality of MLS data at higher pressures?

**What is the quality of MLS ****data at higher pressures?**

- Aura **MLS** (for pressure <= 216 hPa) and **OMI** ozone data were assimilated.
- Time period: January-February 2005
- The assimilation system now includes transport within the GCM and parameterizations for stratospheric photochemistry, a simple scheme for heterogeneous ozone loss and tropospheric chemistry.

## Comparison with SAGE III

**Comparison with SAGE III**

- Assimilation of **Aura MLS** and **OMI** data reproduces the mean **profile shape** in the **lower stratosphere** and its **variability**.
- Agreement at **150 hPa** improved with use of MLS for pressure <=216 hPa.

- Mean profiles from:
**_ SAGE III**
**_ Assimilation **
**   ****(MLS above 100 hPa)**
**_ Assimilation **
**   ****(MLS above 216 hPa)**

- Sunrise

- University of Maryland

- Aura Science Team, Pasadena CA                                          October 1, 2007

## Total column ozone issues

- Currently:
- Satellite measurements agree within 2-3% globally
- Differences at low sun, high column amounts, high reflectivities, etc.
- Need to verify the accuracy of ground-based measurements for satellite validation purposes

## Total column ozone issues (2)

- In an attempt to better understand the column issues, NASA, ESA and FMI conducted two field campaigns
- Focus during high column, low sun periods in Northern Finland
- SAUNA: 	March-April 2006
- SAUNA 2:	February-April 2007
- Combined network instruments: Dobsons, Brewers, DOAS, sondes and LIDAR
- Included World and European standard instruments
- Involved more than 30 Scientists from 12 institutes in 10 countries

## Ozone measurements made by double Brewer throughout the day on April 5, 2006. The double Brewer is assumed to be accurate for SZA < 80°

- Ozone measurements made by double Brewer throughout the day on April 5, 2006. The double Brewer is *assumed* to be accurate for SZA < 80°

## Dobson measurements made with AD pair to ~65° SZA, the switch to CD pair.

## OMI agreed well with ground based measurements during two overpasses. Single Brewer shows some error at high SZA (high slant column ozone).

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## SAUNA (column) summary

- SAUNA behavior seen at other high and mid-latitude sites
- Data from double Brewers should be used for Aura ozone validation at high solar zenith angles
- The state of the network calibration (Brewer and Dobson) are uncertain and may require improvements
- With improved GB calibration, differences most probably due to ozone X-sections uncertainties
- High spectral resolved X-section required which can be used by both satellites and ground-based instruments

## Security-Fuel Tank Inerting Background

**Civil transport aircraft are now subject to what was once only a military threat –MANPADS and Small Arms   (Man Portable Air Defense System) **
**Their proliferation has resulted in numerous shoot-downs and close-calls involving civil passenger aircraft**.
- From 1975-1998, 585 passengers and crewmembers of commercial transport aircraft died from MANPADS missile attacks. The attacks brought down 24 aircraft and severely damaged 10. (1) .
**They have long reach to arriving/departing aircraft**
- Key to the threat is the difficulty of securing the 100 or more square miles of land surrounding civil airports. (2)
**They use the fuel system against the aircraft  **
- The** **explosion of a 2 lb MANPADS warhead or impact effects of small arms can induce a far larger explosion of fuel tanks. Moderate damage can be magnified to make the aircraft unflyable.
**Countermeasures to throw off guidance systems are limited**
- Countermeasures can be defeated                                                     Small arms operate without automatic guidance

Theme:  Welcome

Talking Points
Good morning / afternoon, I am __________________________. 
On behalf of ADM Keating and the men and women of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) 

Transition:  None.

Notes for success:  
This briefing facilitates a senior officer’s presentation of the key facts and issues to guests and distinguished visitors.  The following points are relevant:
See yourself as the “straight man” to the Admiral’s explanations and commentary when he attends.
Let him be the focus, not you.
Brief directly to the guest / DV and keep your eyes on the host for signals.
Do not interrupt the host when he is speaking.
If you’re not sure, wait for him to point to you to continue. 
Regarding the time allotted for the brief:  The schedule is whatever the Admiral wants it to be.
If the guest asks a question, wait 2-3 seconds before answering to see if the host wants to answer.  
If not, he’ll point to you.
If he makes the point you were about to address, then only reference it and move along quickly.
Fewer words are better than over-explaining.
You represent both NORAD and NORTHCOM during this briefing, so use “we” and “our” when addressing either command.

## Module 1 

**Introduction**

## KAP Keys and Quick Guides

- Are based on Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs)
- Provide concise how-to information
- Can be used for quick reference on the job

## Questions

- 1.		What do you already know about 	motivational enhancement?
- 2.		Based on your reading of the Quick 	Guide, what 3 topics would you most	like to know more about?

## Motivation Is Dynamic

**Purposeful**
**Intentional**

**Positive**
**Changeable**

## Change

- The client ultimately is responsible for change,*and* this responsibility is shared with the clinician through a therapeutic partnership.

## Transtheoretical Model:Stages of Change

- Clients may move into *recurrence *from action or maintenance, then back into any other stage of change.
- Adapted for TIP 35 from Prochaska, J., Norcross, J., and DiClemente, C., *Changing for Good,* New York: William Morrow and Company, 1994.

## Review

- What did you learn from Module 1?
- In what ways can you relate these ideas to moments in your life or your clinical practice?
