**Conclusions**
- The summer of 2003 was the hottest and driest on record, with the observed temperature falling well outside of the observed range.
- The AMIP runs suggest that the SST forcing alone may be responsible for a large portion of the warmth. None of the ensemble members were below normal.
- The summer was characterized by 2 periods of extreme heat, June and early August.  Analysis of the 200 mb Height field shows that there was a blocking over Europe.  The AMIP runs have a tendency for ridging over Europe. The DSP runs initialized the blocking, but failed to persist it long enough.
- Initialization of the model with the proper land values didn’t help get a warm/drier result, which is consistent with Koster et al. 2004.

**Introduction**
- The summer of 2003 was the warmest on record for many parts of Europe.  Statistical analysis of historical data suggests that such a large anomaly is extremely unlikely to occur, but alas it did.  Ensembles of 3 month hindcasts were carried out with the NSIPP-1 AGCM to assess the impact SST anomalies and initial conditions had on the extremely hot summer of 2003 in Europe. The runs were initialized from NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis and forced with observed SSTs.  AMIP runs were also made to help diagnose the role of the SST forcing and the atmospheric initial conditions.
**Description of experiments**
**AMIP**:  9 member ensemble at 2-degree resolution,  initialized December, 1978.
**DSP**:  10 member ensembles,  initialized the 1st of the month with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis upper air anomalies, and climatology
-            land.
**DSP-GLDAS**: DSP type runs with the land surface was initialized with GLDAS (Rodell 2003), which assimilates observed forcing.

## When Scientists Become Advocates

- Communication, Governance and Policy-making in the Face of Scientific Uncertainty

## Dr. Susanna Hornig Priest	

- University of South Carolina
- College of Mass Communications & Information Studies

## Changing Paradigms for Science Communication

- 17th-18th-19th century: science as a rich guy’s hobby
- Elite pluralism: concept of *limited* attentive and interested publics
- Democratic pluralism: *engaging* with a *variety *of publics
*Advocacy model??*

## Elite Pluralism

- Jon Miller’s work on attentive and interested publics
- Small percentage of public cares about science and science policy (10%)
- Outreach for policy needs to reach only this group
- “Spectator citizens” should *appreciate* science, but not necessarily in depth

## U.S. public: “Illiterate” and anti-intellectual?

- Not good at multiple choice tests!!
- Does this mean not smart or interested?
- Focus groups for bio, nano reveal rational thinking about reasonable concerns
- Concept of “local knowledge”
- Concern with *who best to trust*
- Knowledge *not* a strong predictor of pro/con policy attitudes

## Democratic Pluralism

*Multiple* publics for science
- “True believers” (1/4-1/3 of U.S.)
- Utilitarians (another large group)
- Moral authoritarians (*not the enemy!*)
- Democratic pragmatists, ethical populists
- Scientists have obligation to educate and engage, yet 42% do not (Sigma Xi)
- Only 12% engage in political outreach

## Global Governance Perspectives

- For 25 European countries and US, Canada, about half defer to science
- Prefer elites to make policy on scientific grounds
- But half have other preferences
- Want more engagement and/or ethics
- Roughly equal on both sides of the Atlantic (12/23/05 *Science*)

## Why Engage the Public in Science?

- Educate the public
- Improve public understanding [=?]
- Influence policy
- Increase science’s influence
- Promote democratic governance
- Much science is funded by tax dollars
- Further self-interest
- Enhance appreciation, reduce dissent?

## Advocacy – The Next Step??

- Gravely serious problems science (or S&T) might help address (HIV/AIDS, global climate change, poverty and malnutrition...)
- Policy environment in which leadership is not listening, politics seems stalled
- Scientists and communicators (e.g., science journalists) in new roles??

## Barriers

- Both scientists and journalists embrace “objectivity”
- For both groups, this is the social foundation of their authority
*Even when/if illusory in practice*
- Legal, political, regulatory restrictions and career realities (e.g., for Federal, corporate employees)

## Opportunities

- Climate of public engagement invites public discussion of public policy
- Cannot have one without the other
- “Marketplace of ideas” as foundation of democratic theory
- Strong historical free speech arguments
- Academic freedom (tenure system)
- Journalistic freedom (1st Amendment)

## Estimation of the Force on the Syringe Tie-rods from Fringing Magnetic Fields

- Steve Kahn
- 5 April 2006

## Tie-rod location

## Slide 3

## Tie-rod Specifications Indicate that They Should Be Non-Magnetic

*1.1.1        ****Tie Beam***
- 1.1.1.1  The tie beam shall be a demountable, rigid attachment joining the drive cylinder and the pump cylinder rods so that all three move simultaneously.
- 1.1.1.2  The tie beam shall be fabricated from SS304L or SS316L.
- However Stainless Steel 17-4 PH was used.
- This stainless steel is martensitic in structure.
- It is significantly stronger than SS304:
- Yields at 110 Kpsi instead of 25 Kpsi for SS 304L
- It is however *Strongly Ferromagnetic in all conditions. (*Allegheny-Ludlam’s description).
- Can we use this material for the Merit syringe system or do we send it back and risk schedule delays?

## Calculate the Field at the Tie-rods

- The upper figure shows the geometry of the solenoid:
- Coils in red
- Tie-rod is in blue
- Tie-rod is assumed to have the B-H properties of 1010 steel for these calculations.
- The lower figure shows the falloff of the field along the axis.
- The field at the front edge of the tie-rod (closest to the magnet) is
- BZ=0.49 T
- BR=0.25 T
- These are the fields with out the presence of iron which will distort the fields locally.

## The Force Can Be Obtained by Integrating the Maxwell Stress Tensor on a Surface Surrounding the Steel

- The force from the Maxwell stress tensor is given by the following equations where the integration is performed over a surface that surrounds the steel:
- Since we have a 2D (cylindrically symmetric) model, the force is reduced by a factor that corresponds to the circumference subtended by the tie-rods.
- I have assumed that all eight tie-rods are at the same radius which over estimates the force.

## Summary of Force Results

- Force along the axial direction:
- The total force on the “iron cylinder” is –36123 newtons.
- The tie-rods subtend 20 cm (8 one inch rods) on a 220 cm circumference.
- This is an over estimate since half of the tie-rods are at a larger radius.
- This gives a total force on all the tie-rods of -2580 newtons.  Minus sign means toward the magnet.
- Radial Force:
- Total radial force on “iron cylinder” is –19715 newtons.
- The force on each tie-rod is -224 newtons.  Minus sign means forward the axis.

- Steel prototype to be used for checking CTE mismatch behaviour
- Full quantity of dummy MCMs will be glued
- Prototype will be put inside a vacuum box to observe thermal displacement

## MCM Placement

- Cross-hair targets at MCM corners
- Align these targets to a pair of optical targets
- Placement device built with x, y, z and theta adjustment capabilities

## Fixturing Plate

- Locked relationship between optical targets and probe targets
- From start to finish through all the assembling steps, we can refer to the same probe targets
- The goal is to produce 30 pairs of interchangible identical substrates that can be hooked up to any C bracket pair

## Forces are applied on the substrates to push against the same spot and edge

- Slot and hole on substrate engage with 2 precision pins on tooling plate

- Optical targets

## Template

- It is used to set up the C brackets in right position relating to the substrate
- It basically has all the same holes as the substrate
- It has survey balls to identify the virtual beam center

## Slide 11

## Gluing the C-brackets

- The whole assembly is held with another placement fixture for positioning
- C-brackets are glued in place to the C-cylinder
- After cured, template is removed for next set of C-brackets set-up uses
- Real substrate will be inserted and fastened in place right
- Note:  no adjustment can be made
- Question:  Do we need another set of survey balls on substrate for surveying purpose?

## Pedestrians
Cross at crosswalks, otherwise yield to traffic
Use extra caution during reduced visibility or low-light conditions
Let drivers know your intentions, wave them on if you plan on letting them pass before you cross
Cross roadways at right angles, don’t cut across diagonally

- Crosswalk

**Don’t get Caught in the**** **

*It was Monday morning and I had gotten to work early.  It was a beautiful crisp morning with the sun still hanging low.  I walked from the parking lot to the building ensuring that I crossed the road at the crosswalk like I always did.  I stepped out into the crosswalk and...BLAM...I was struck by a car.  *
*And I was in the “right”.......or was I?**  *

- _Pedestrians_
- Cross at crosswalks, otherwise yield to traffic
- Use extra caution during reduced visibility or low-light conditions
- Let drivers know your intentions, wave them on if you plan on letting them pass before you cross
- Cross roadways at right angles, don’t cut across diagonally

- _Drivers_
- Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Slow down or stop if necessary.
- Slow down while going through pedestrian congested areas.
- Be aware of pedestrians in and around the roads’ edge.
- Expect the unexpected and respect the pedestrians’ right to be able to cross the road safely.

**Florida Statute Title XXIII Chapter 316.130 (8)** - “*No pedestrian shall suddenly leave the curb or other place of safety and walk or run in the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield*.”

**This fictitious lead-in is not far from the truth.  These last few weeks have seen several close calls reported  involving vehicles vs. pedestrians.  Was the person in the story “in the right”? Most people would say yes.  We’ve been taught that the “pedestrian has the right of way” but .....**

-    **No matter which side of the windshield you are on.... ****Be Aware, Be Courteous, and Be Respectful.**

## Section 11

_***Section 11***_
***Hyperion/AC Spectral Registration Comparison (SRC) Test***

*** ******. . . Tim Zukowski***
*Swales Aerospace, Inc.*

## Test Description

***Test Description***

***OBJECTIVE: To illuminate Hyperion and LEISA/AC with a common light source having well defined spectral features. Comparison of instrument responses validates respective spectral calibrations.***
***Test source consists of an arc lamp with filters, both of which provide spectral features.***
***Light is delivered from the external source to the instruments via large core silica fibers.***
***Breadboard setup predicted SNRs of  >200 were exceeded with margin - discussed below.***
***Test procedures implemented as planned (non-flight procedures).  Extra collects were performed as possible during normal instrument DCEs (in T/V II script and sims).***

## SRC Test GSE

***SRC Test GSE***

## Test Conduct & Results

***Test Conduct & Results***

***Technical Issues: Alignment - Verified via image prior to beginning T/V II***
***Hyperion collimating was successful***
***Large core fibers were obtained and implemented as planned***
***The ambient checkout image provided a pleasant surprise. Signal levels were more than adequate: Hyperion VNIR peak value was approximately 1600 counts, and the AC was completely saturated!***
***Source was continually reconfigured through the course of T/V II successfully reducing AC signal levels to usable values while independently maintaining Hyperion signal levels.***

## Source Post-Test Characterization

***Source Post-Test Characterization***

***The GSE source has been end-to-end characterized using an FTIR spectrometer at GSFC (courtesy J. Nuth/691)***
***Source characteristics include differences in the peak signal levels and in the relative intensity across the spectra due to the use of a Neutral Density filter as a broad-band beamsplitter. This was not ideal, but the best that could be done.***
***The ND filter also imposed apparent differences on the LWP filters cut-on wavelengths for each instrument - the system characterization data will be compared to the LWP filter vendor data and the instrument response for final validation.***

## Preliminary Results - Hyperion VNIR

## Preliminary Results - Hyperion SWIR

- Raw Counts

- Wavelength (nm)

## Preliminary Results - AC SWIR Images

## Preliminary Results - AC SWIR

## Summary

***Summary***

***Valid data was collected for both instruments which will allow comparison of their respective spectral calibrations***
***The source has been characterized independently, and the results, together with the instrument test data, are being analyzed***
***Final results are pending***
