## MMS - Ozonesonde Wind and Temperature Comparison during CR-AVE

**T.P. Bui, J. Dean-Day, C. Chang, R. Castaneda**
**NASA-Ames Research Center**
**H. Voemel**
**University of Colorado -- CIRES**

## Data Sources

**Profiles of WB-57 MMS 1-Hz U, V, T and P during descent to Juan SantaMaria Int Airport**
**Vaisala RS-80 radiosonde collected GPS position (latitude/longitude), T and P during Ozonesonde ascents from Heredia, Costa Rica **
**Heredia is in close proximity to Juan SantaMaria airport (10km distance separation)**
**Sondes launched within 1 hr of WB-57 takeoff or landing on 11 flights (10 descents, 1 ascent)**

## Data Specifications

**Meteorological Measurement System:**
**	****	****Static Pressure (+/- 0.3 mb)**
**	****	****Static Temperature (+/- 0.3 K)**
**	****	****Wind Velocity (+/- 1.0 m/s)**
**Vaisala RS-80 Radiosonde:**
**	****	****Static Pressure (+/- 0.1 – 1.0 mb)**
**	****	****Static Temperature (+/- 0.2 K)**
**	****	****(Temperature corrected for radiation/ventilation effects)**
**Combined Uncertainty at same time/location:**
**	****	****Temperature (+/- 0.5 K)**

## RS-80 Wind Calculation 

**Deriving Horizontal Winds from Sonde:**
**	****GPS position (latitude/longitude/altitude) reported every 1 - 2 seconds during ascent to ~ 30km altitude**
**	****Time rates of GPS latitude/longitude define U,V midway between GPS altitude levels**
**	****U,V at reported levels estimated from spline interpolation of instantaneous U,V to each GPS altitude level**
**	****Resulting U,V profiles were highly variable; **
**	****Wind profiles subjected to simple vertical averaging to remove scales < 100m (approximately 20 sec during 5 m/s ascent)**

## Ideal Comparison

**MMS and Sonde BOTH report GPS position:  **
**	****>  Interpolate MMS data to ozone sonde GPS altitude **
**	****>  Minimum temporal/spatial separation**
**Ideal conditions for MMS–RS80 comparison:**
**  ****	****>  All profiles are within 2 hours in time**
**	****>  Spatial separation < 60 km  **
**	****>  In generally horizontal homogeneous environment (tropics)**

## Slide 6

## Slide 7

## Slide 8

## Slide 9

## Slide 10

## Comparison Summary

**	****MMS warmer than RS-80 by 0.30 +/- 0.20K**
**	****MMS Wind Velocity slightly lower (~ 0.65 m/s)**
**	****but uncertainty is larger than mean differences**
**Pressure Difference is within RS-80 max error (1 mb)**
**	****Sonde pressure is lower by 0.7 mb; larger uncertainty at lower altitudes scale with pressure.**

## Numerical Python

- Tom LeFebvre

## Numerical Python

- Since Python is an interpreted language, we need better performance particularly when crunching numbers.
- Advantages: High-level language allows very fast development
- Disadvantages: Not always intuitive

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Numerical Python

- Numerical Python operates on “multiarrays”
- One line of Numerical Python processes one or more whole arrays, not just one number.
- Currently NumPy is implemented as an “extension” to Python. But soon it will be an intrinsic part of Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Importing Numeric

- You must import the Numeric module before using Numerical Python
-                    import Numeric
-                             or

- >>> from Numeric import *

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Making Numeric Arrays

- >>> a = array ([0, 1, -2, 6, -5])
- >>> a

- >>> b = arrayrange(10)
- >>> b

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Multi-dimensional Arrays

-   >>> a = array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
-   >>> a

- >>> a.shape

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Creating Special Arrays

- >>> BunchaOnes = ones((4, 4))
- >>> BunchaOnes

- >>> BunchaZeros = zeros((4, 4))
- >>> BunchaZeros

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Manipulating Arrays

- >>> BunchaThrees = BunchaOnes * 3
- >>> BunchaThrees

- >>> f = arrayrange(0, 100, 5)
- >>> c = (f - 32) * 5 / 9
- >>> c

- >>> c = (f - 32) * 5 / 9.0
- >>> c

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Array Slicing

- Slicing Operator   “[:]”

-    array[start : stop : increment]

- array - a Numeric Python array
- start - begin here including this index
- stop - end here but do not include this index
- increment - skip this many

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Slicing Arrays

- >>> a = arrayrange(10)
- >>> a
- >>> a[2]
- >>> a[0:4]
- >>> a[-1]
- >>> a[:-1]
- >>> a[2] = -999
- >>> a

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Slicing Multi-dimensional Arrays

- >>> b = reshape(arrayrange(9), (3, 3))
- >>> b

- >>> b[0, 0]
- >>> b [2, 1]
- >>> b[-1, -1]

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Slicing Multi-dimensional Arrays

- >>> b
- >>> b[0:1, 0]

- >>> b[0:2, 0:2]
- >>> b [:]

- >>> b[::2]
- >>> b[::-1]
- >>> b[::-1, ::-1]

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Some Useful Functions

- >>> a = arrayrange(10)
- >>> a
- >>> add.reduce(a)

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Logical Functions - makes 0s or 1s

- >>> b = reshape(arrayrange(25), (5, 5))
- >>> b

- >>> less (b, 12)

- >>> greater(b, 7)
- >>> less_equal(b, 10)

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Array Functions - where()

- where(condition, true value, false value)

- >>> b
- >>> c = where (less(b, 12), 0, b)
- >>> c

- _Note: 0 is false, everything else is true_

- “where” is the Numerical Python “if” statement

- Numerical Python

- Sept. 24-27, 2002

## Array Functions - clip()

- clip(array, min, max)

- >>> b
- >>> d = clip(b, 5, 15)
- >>> d

- Numerical Python

**The Upgraded Plug was engineered in the Technical Division, where two Electromagnetic  mechanical modules of 10 tons each were assembled and tested before installation in CDF. **
**Construction of the detecting elements **
**took place in the TD as well.**

**Scientists from the Technical Division and various**
**CDF Universities developed calorimeter systems based on scintillating tiles read-out by WLS fibers. The fibers detect the light generated by ionizing particles and transmit it to Photodetectors located nearby to measure energy and position of electrons and jets. **

**ATLAS TileCal**

** ****Installation of the Upgraded  Plug**

**The expected luminosity enhancement and  short crossing time promised  for the Tevatron Run II **
