## Chemical Profiles over Houston. A Chemical Supersite for the Texas 2006 Field Campaign

- Battelle Northwest-PNNL: Carl Berkowitz (PI)
- Washington State University: Tom Jobson
- Texas A & M University: Renyi Zhang, Don Collins
- Texas Environmental Research Consortium (TERC) and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC)

## Question: Why is the State of Texas interested in                  vertical profiles of trace gases?Answer:    Many very practical concerns

- Work by ASP scientists has shown that vertical profiles of reactive trace gases within the planetary boundary layer can be more complex than previously thought.
- Preliminary modeling studies for Texas State Implementation Plan (SIPs) can only reproduce hydrocarbon measurements made aloft by increasing vertical mixing which reduces the surface values to smaller quantities than are observed.
- Aircraft cannot measure within the first kilometer of the atmosphere where much of the initial mixing and chemical transformation occurs.
- Problem: how to provide measurements to evaluate model errors associated with mixing and chemical reactivity within the first 1000 feet of the atmosphere?
- This area is too high to use surface-based observations
- This area is too low to make extensive aircraft measurements.

## 24/7 Measurements from Three Levels of a 900’ ft Skyscraper Between August 15-September 15

- 62nd floor
- (~ 850 ft AGL)

- 30th  floor
- (~ 400 ft AGL)

## Democrat Budget Proposals Would

- “Raid” Social Security
-         Democrats have recently charged that the policies enacted by President Bush and Republicans in Congress are to blame for the “raid” on the Social Security Trust Fund.  In particular, Democrats argue that the tax relief measure signed into law last year is to blame.  In order to evaluate this claim, the RSC has analyzed the three budgets offered by Democrat House Members last year: the Progressive Caucus Budget, the Blue Dog Budget, and the Democratic Caucus Budget.
-        In order to evaluate the impact of policy priorities on the surplus, the RSC assumed that each of the proposed budgets was enacted and strictly followed.  Then the Budget was adjusted to reflect the changes in the surplus caused by economic and technical factors and the spending resulting from the September 11th Terrorist Attacks.  This process isolates the policy proposals in each budget and demonstrates what the surplus or deficit would be under each of the Democratic Budget proposals.
-        As the chart on the following page demonstrates, all three of the Democratic Budget proposals would have resulted in on-budget deficits in Fiscal Year 2002 and 2003.  In other words, each proposal (and the Democrat policies embedded in each proposal) would have resulted in a “raid” on the Social Security Trust Fund.
-        In addition, the RSC has included a chart indicating how Members of the Democratic Caucus voted on each Democrat Budget Proposal.

- Five years mining experience

## Overview

**The victim was removing the toggle plate **
**seat from the pitman on a jaw crusher.  He **
**was standing on a temporary platform when **
**the bolts holding the toggle seat were **
**removed, causing the pitman to move and **
**strike him.**

## Slide 3

## Causal Factors

- Management policies, standards, and controls were inadequate.  Procedures were not in place to ensure that the pitman was blocked against hazardous motion before the toggle seat wedge bolts were removed.
- Standards and controls were inadequate.  No task training was provided to the miners regarding the removal of the toggle seat on the jaw crusher to make them aware of the health and safety aspects of the task.

## Best Practices

- Ensure that miners receive task training prior to allowing them to perform maintenance or repair on machinery or equipment.
- Discuss the work procedures, including all possible hazards ( Risk Assessment ) and ensure the manufacturer's recommendations are followed for all repair work.

## Best Practices

- Before working on equipment, lock out the power and block equipment components against all possible motion/movement resulting from a sudden release of energy.
- If potential hazards or prescribed procedures are unclear, DO NOT proceed until all safety concerns are adequately resolved.

## Aircraft Service Center Processes

**Aircraft Service Center Processes**

- Presentation 12

## What can a Service Center do for you?

- Develop STC for non-group aircraft
- Covered in another presentation
- Apply SL/SB/STC on group aircraft
- We will discuss here
- Assist in obtaining operational approval
- Additional services ranging from “one stop shop” to a handshake

## What is a group?

- Group = “...aircraft that are of nominally identical design and build with respect to all details that could influence the accuracy of height keeping performance”

## How do you verify your aircraft qualifies as a “group participant”?

- Evaluate any existing modifications
- Assure static system conforms
- Assure avionics meet group standards
- Assure systems are operating within tolerances (autopilot performance)

## What are your first steps?

- Evaluate Engineering Solutions, more than one method of compliance may be available
- Locate capable and qualified Service Center
- Obtain data package
- STC Certificate(s) or SB, Letter of entitlement, Flight Manual Revision or Supplements, Maintenance Manual Revision, Operational Test Procedures, etc.

## Once you have selected a method of compliance and a service center, what must you do?

- Prior to Maintenance
- Verify AFCS stability performance
- Confirm required parts and equipment are present

## What will the service center do?

- Perform incoming inspections, avionics functional checks, pitot static leak checks
- Service center will apply modification
- Equipment Changes
- Skin work
- Pitot Static System Changes
- Paintwork
- Service center will test and inspect, recommend  aircraft for return to service

## What is next?

- At conclusion of service center work you will have an, “ RVSM Compliant Airframe”
- Next after ensuring compliance –FAA Aviation Safety Inspector (ASI) makes PTRS entry
- ASI will evaluate operator program and procedures, maintenance program, MEL
- Upon issuance of LOA or OpSpec you will have airframe and operator authorization

## What can go wrong?

- Problems found with in-service aircraft
- Paint
- Stripes in the critical area
- Chips
- Bubbles
- Cracks
- Bumps
- Fisheyes

## More that might go wrong

- Problems found with in-service aircraft
- Pitot Static
- Leaky systems
- Inoperative Pitot Static heat
- Autopilot
- Cable Tensions
- Servo Capstan problems

## Still more that might go wrong

- Problems found with in-service aircraft
- Fuselage
- Excessive Skin Deviations (waviness)
- High Spots at Frames
- Uneven Skin Seams
- Skin Repair in critical areas
- Access or Inspection panels out of tolerance
- Latches or Hinges out of tolerance

## Service centers contacted have facilities available

## 11th Annual George Mason University Conference on Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion Modeling 

***Mark Miller***
***Emergency Response Division***

**OFCM Special Session: ****Benefits to Responders of Joint Urban****Test Beds**

## Urban Test Beds: User Perspectives

- Getting the answers to the questions they have -
- Faster
- More accurate answer

- A “built it and they will come” approach probably won’t work for Test Beds.  Typical responders just don’t care.
- What they do care about is:

## Who are the users?

- Researchers
- Meteorologists/Forecasters
- Emergency Managers/Planners
- Emergency Responders (includes NOAA HAZMAT)

- We’ll focus on the last two “new” user groups who have different needs than the traditional user groups.

## Simple Questions, Complex Answers

- Where is the bad stuff going?
- How soon will it get there (evacuation vs shelter-in-place)?
- Where can I send someone to monitor?
- Can I get real-time warnings about hazardous weather?

## What can long term UTBs provide?

- I need the data when I want it  Available 24/7
- I need the data in a format I can use  Graphical/GIS
- I need the data to be accurate  Real-time QA/QC
- I need to understand the data  Familiar terminology
- I may need help interpreting the data  Reachback (?)

*The system has to be operational.*

## Communicate Information Effectively

- Differences between Archived, Real-time, and Forecast data (that is, Past vs. Now vs. Later).
- Differences between actual data (point data) and predictions (model data).
- Is there a correlation or not? (That is, does the model accurately “predict” observed data?)
- If not, what is uncertainty?  Is it communicated to the users in a way that they can incorporate it into their decision making process?

- Response and Planning Users need to understand:

## Final Thoughts 

- If we want to win support in today’s budgetary environment we need to move beyond traditional uses of urban test beds.
- Urban test beds should be designed to provide operational information from the start.
- Make high quality information available to wider decision making audience in a form that can be used.

## Automatic DIflux Measurements with AUTODIFby

- Jean Rasson, Sébastien van Loo and Nabil Berrami

- Focus on Absolutes

## Automatic absolute measurements

- Absolute measurements nowadays manually performed with the (DIflux – Proton Mag) pair. Universally adopted method
- Success due to the combination of
- a theodolite (very precise 3D attitude meter)
- a fluxgate magnetometer (sensitive to the orientation of the field)
- A robust selfcorrecting measurement protocol(theo mech defects; coincidence opt/mag axis)
- Task: unattended measure of the orientation of the geomagnetic vector
- Automate the DIflux measurement protocol

- no outliers: 	29.900°

## AUTODIF 2008 Workshop Preliminary Results

- Differences with the BOU baselines (Obs Reference – AUTODIF)
- D: 0.4 ± 0.6 '
- H: 3.1 ± 1.7 nT
- Z: -1.5 ± 0.8 nT

- dH = 1 nT  ->   ∂I = -3.6"
- dZ = 1 nT  ->   ∂I = 1.5"

- Possible issues:
-  Corner cube (azimuth mark) motion (wind?)
-  Magnetism of electronics console
-  Slight diurnal baseline variation

## Future improvementson AUTODIF

- Improve software for motor drives  (reliability, longevity)
- Remove cable stress on alidade (accuracy)
- Lower noise in laser and fluxgate electronics (accuracy, resolution, reliability)
- Implement sheduled measurement sessions (operation)
- Package device for robust and userfriendly operation and transport (dissemination; operation)

- Thanks for your attention
