## JAXA RESEARCH PROJECT STATUS

**Hiroshi Sasaki (JAXA/EORC)**
**Joint AMSR Science Team Meeting**
**July 14-16, 2008**
**Telluride, CO**

## PRESENTATION CONTENTS

- My presentation is JAXA research project status about AMSR/AMSR-E. Imaoka-san is going to present the GCOM  status the day after tomorrow.
**AMSR/AMSR-E research project**
- Calibration & Validation
- The status of a prototype system for processing various microwave observation data
- Recent topic - IARC-JAXA Information System (IJIS)

## 1. CALIBRATION & VALIDATION

- Geometric correction accuracy of Level 1B was improved, and the most suitable parameter was decided. Mr. Susumu Saito will present these contents.
- The algorithms of a sea surface temperature and a soil moisture were improved. These standard products were updated and released in March of this year.
- In this Japanese fiscal year (JFY), we plan to reevaluate the _*calibration status*_, to improve the _*calibration method *_and to evaluate an _*influence on standard products*_. According to evaluation result in this JFY, _*we plan to improve standard products in the next JFY*_.

## 2. THE STATUS OF A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING VARIOUS MICROWAVE OBSERVATION DATA

- We developed a prototype system for processing various microwave observation near-real-time data. We began to operate this system experimentally in April.
- Now this system makes a _sea surface temperature_, an _ice concentration_ and a _soil moisture _from _TMI_, _Windsat_ and _SSM/I_.

## These are browse images of the day average and the week average of the SST to be calculated from TMI and WindSat. 

- Because the swath width is narrow and WindSat observes an area of a high latitude, we think that we can improve the observation area by using the both data.

## 2. THE STATUS OF A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING VARIOUS MICROWAVE OBSERVATION DATA

- We plan to add the following ;
- To show the products in a Web site
- To add to the data of GCOM-W1/AMSR2 and so on
- To add to the other products

## 3. RECENT TOPIC     - IARC-JAXA INFORMATION SYSTEM (IJIS)

- We show the result of the Arctic sea ice monitor with AMSR-E in the Web sites as the Arctic research.
- http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/index.htm

## 3. RECENT ACTIVITY    - IARC-JAXA INFORMATION SYSTEM (IJIS)

- The Arctic sea ice is updated every day.
- We can watch the sea ice of the specified date, and the movie of the specified period.
- http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/cgi-bin/seaice-monitor.cgi?lang=e

## 3. RECENT ACTIVITY    - IARC-JAXA INFORMATION SYSTEM (IJIS)

## Type 60 Transactions

**Purpose for a New Type 60 Process **
**It is critical to USDA’s commitment to renovate the legacy feeder systems – in this case PRCH**
**The elimination of PRCH requires that all of it’s current functionality be replaced with new processes:**
**	**
**Implementation of IAS**
**Integration of Type 60 Transactions into FFIS**
** **

## TYPE 60 Transactions

**Current Process**** **
**Consists of RD and FSA Loan Program obligations and disbursements – both contractural and non-contractural**
**These transactions are entered into PRCH**
**PRCH edits perform funds control and validation of borrower and loan data on each transaction**
**File of obligation and disbursement activity back fed from PRCH to FSA’s and RD’s Loan Systems **

## TYPE 60 Transactions

**New Process**
**Direct entry of Type 60 transactions into FFIS  - obligations, payments, and post-payment adjustments**
**Enhancements made to FFIS include a Borrower/Loan table and additional fields on the PV document to capture the borrower and loan information**
**Update of the Borrower/Loan files from the Loan Systems to the FFIS Borrower/Loan Table – used for validation purposes**
**    **

## TYPE 60 Transactions

**New Process (****Continued)**
**Back feed obligations, payments, and post-payment adjustments from FFIS to the Loan Systems**
**Program Funds entered into FFIS Budget Tables in order to execute funds control    **

- ferroelectrics

- ferromagnets

- ferroelastics

## Multiferroic materials...

- combine two or more of the ferroic properties *and *exhibit coupling between them

- magnetoelectric
- multiferroics

## Possible applications

- Multiple state memory elements
- Ferroelectric storage with magnetic read
- High , high  materials
- E-tunable magnetic properties (and vice versa)
- Negative refractive index materials

## Trouble with electrons

- Magnetism and ferroelectricity chemically *contraindicated*

- ABO3 perovskite ferroelectric

- Ferroelectrics (usually) have d0 electron configuration on B cation
- Magnetism requires localized d electrons

- N.A. Hill, *J. Phys. Chem*. *B* **104**, 6694-6709 (2000)

## Layered heterostructures	

- Enhanced ferroelectricity in layered perovskites

- LDA+U
- U/JFe = 6.0/0.6 eV
- U/JCr = 5.0/0.5 eV
- PAW potentials
- Berry phase method polarization calculations

- R. D. King-Smith and D. Vanderbilt, *Phys. Rev. B ***47 **1651 (1993).

## Fully optimized system:

-  ...not ferroelectric

- optimize all
- lattice parameters and atomic positions
- a = 3.82 A

- °

## In-plane strain:

- a = b

## Two relaxed configurations:

## Negative pressure:

- a=b

- c/a=3

## Heterostructure vs. components

- Average polarization: PLAO+PLFO+PLCO
-   = 47.0 μC cm-2
- Tri-layered:
- P= 38.9 μC cm-2

- ...Tri-layering *alters* polarization

## Summary for La(Al,Fe,Cr)O3

- Tri-layering does not cause ferroelectricity
- Small strains result in large polarizations
- Tri-layering *alters* the polarization
- Feasible route to ME multiferroic

- Need to investigate:
- dependence on layer thickness
- coupling

## Impacts of Land Use Changes on California’s Climate

**Impacts of Land Use Changes on California’s Climate**
**Hideki Kanamaru (hkanamaru@ucsd.edu), Masao Kanamitsu **
**Experimental Climate Prediction Center, Scripps Institution of Oceanography**

- California has seen a huge change in land use since mid-1800s with a sharp increase in population. This study investigates the role of land use changes had on California’s climate.
- This study is a part of model intercomparison project of land use change research for California (MM5 and RegCM3 are other participating models).

- The RSM is nested within the Global Spectral Model (GSM).
- Physics and dynamics are consistent with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis model.
- Spectral formulation of difference between global and regional fields.
- Land surface model is OSU2 with two soil layers.

- Two land cover data sets were prepared. 1: pre-1890 pre-settlement natural vegetation and 2: modern land cover with irrigated croplands and urban areas.
- In the model two distinct land covers are treated as:
- In irrigated cropland, soil is saturated.
- In urban land, canopy resistance is very large.

| 0 | Water | 7 | Tropical evergreen broadleaved forest |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Mixed farming tall grassland | 8 | Evergreen forest, needle leaved forest |
| 2 | Tall/medium grassland, shrubland | 9 | Medium grassland |
| 3 | Short grassland meadow and shrubland | 10 | Deciduous forest |
| 4 | Tundra | 11 | Mixed deciduous and evergreen forest |
| 5 | Sandy desert | 12 | Urban |
| 6 | Rocky desert | 13 | Irrigated cropland |

**JUL**

**JAN**

- Areas with significant temperature changes (beyond variance from the pre-settlement ensemble run) are shaded in colour.
- Diurnal temperature range (DTR) is reduced in irrigated land due to decreased daily maximum temperature.
- DTR is slightly increased in urban land due to increased daily maximum temperature.
- Temperature changes between pre-settlement and modern runs are much smaller in January than July.
- Higher surface pressure causes wind changes in the valley. Small changes in precipitation pattern to the east of valley in mountains

- Urban land has lower albedo, less latent heat cooling due to lack of vegetation and drier soil, and more sensible heat. Tsfc increases with urbanization as well as T2m.
- Tmax increase (2C) is larger than Tmin increase (1C), so diurnal temperature range is slightly larger in modern run.
- January changes are smaller than July.

## The cure-in-place ablator is delivered into the repair cavity by means of a pneumatically controlled hand-held applicator, or “goo-gun”.

## After injecting the cure-in-place ablator into the damaged tile, the surface of the repair must be smoothed using special foam covered tools.

## One method of manipulating the repair surface is to use small foam covered rollers to flatten protuberances in the material.

## A foam covered “stamp” or flat trowel is used in large damage cavities to flatten peaks and high spots on the surface of the repair.

## Astronaut Scott Parazynski injects the cure-in-place ablator into the cavity and uses a smaller, angled tool to flatten the repair surface.

## Astronaut David Wolf uses a large adjustable foam covered roller to smooth the surface of a membrane covered cavity.

## Wide Lexan trowels can also be used to smooth the surface of a membrane covered repair without getting ablator on the tools or suit.

## The repair must be checked using a “step gage” to insure that it does not protrude more than 0.25 inches past the orbiter outer mold line (OML).

## In instances where a slight overfill if the cavity may be called for, a special foam covered trowel is used to verify that the ablator is just above the OML

- In instances where a _slight_ overfill if the cavity may be called for, a special foam covered trowel is used to verify that the ablator is just above the OML

## It may be necessary to remove excess material from a membrane covered cavity.  This can be done using a large flat trowel.

## It is important to insure that there are no protuberances on the repair surface that may disrupt the aerodynamic flow over the cavity.  This excess material may be removed using a tool similar to a putty knife.

## Astronaut Carlos Noriega injects material to a special clear damage mold to observe flow characteristics of the material in zero-gravity.

## Stony Brook UpdateCross Roads

- T.K. Hemmick for himself

## The Glovebox Water Spiked

- Our intuition that the purifier was filling due to the long time with a heavy water load was correct.
- The glovebox spiked to about 40 ppm before the windows could be applied over the HBD.
- All GEMs put inside HBD along with two chicklets to monitor conditions.
- We’ll use the chicklets to assess whether the other GEMs have lost QE.

## No progress on making a GEMstack.	

- New production GEMs are completely different from last year:
- No charge-up curve.
- Requires nearly 3800 V for a gain of 5000.
- After two full weeks of never sustaining 5000 gain for more than a few minutes, the bottom GEM finally began a current draw of 5 microamps at 500 V (completely stable at that point) and is now done.

## Personal Opinion

- We are wasting our time trying to build the HBD to the original design.
- Even if we get a few stacks operating now they will fail during long term use.
- Don’t use the “success” of last year’s voltage holding as evidence of anything.
- The “success” was only after most strips had their resistor chain modified.
- The loss of single strips compromises the performance of every blob (in arm or partner) that overlaps it.
- A repeat of last year’s performance over the whole surface of the HBD will make a detector will poor performance.

## Dust Dust Dust

- I volunteer to wear a tee-shirt to every QM for 5 year stating that:
- The original design was perfect.
- Stony Brook is dusty.
- The only failure ever was Stony Brook dust.
- A perfect design that anyone else in the world should use was changed because of SB dust.
- I will do this ONLY if we give up in the present design and make changes so that the detector will work.
- If we make no changes I have zero confidence in the detector.

## The proposed changes:

- Make a 4-GEM stack.
- Use the body of the HBD as a field cage to get the bias in either forward or reverse.
- Independently power each level with CAEN power supplies which internal logic drops the whole stack when any single channel trips.
- 55Fe source illuminates all pads.
- Gain photo-electrons by losing grid.
- All stacks will work easily at low gain/GEM.
- Some loss of Blindness.
- Need to make top surface of all stacks equal V.

## Field Cage

- The HBD is basically a cylinder.

- Potential (Volts)

- Field (Volts/cm)

## Field Cage Preliminary Design

- Match both end walls to the ln(r/r0) profile.
- Match the face to same profile.
- Bingo...bias with uniform field HBD works.

## Preface

- <footer>

- 	This course should be viewed as an initial training in air quality forecasting.  As more data become available, analyses performed, reports reviewed, etc., the course may be expanded and enhanced.  The EPA welcomes participants’ comments and suggestions and any example analyses, new databases, or additional references that might enhance the course.  Participants should keep in mind that this course provides basic knowledge to begin forecasting for the Air Quality Index (AQI) and describes methods to improve existing forecasting programs; it is not meant to show the only way to forecast air quality.

## Acknowledgments

## Pluses of the LCDP:

- Excellent instruction/training at FEI
- Cohort of LCDP extremely tight – great professional working relationships
- Rotational assignments provide expanded/enriched view of NOAA
- Talent pool available for application to NOAA leadership needs

## Potential for the LCDP:

- Mentoring
- Pre-identified rotational assignments with specific skill sets to be developed

## Concerns with the LCDP:

- Clear vision for LCDP participants in future NOAA (no SES guarantee)
- Need for home office support of candidates to leave jobs/do rotations

## What we learned from the LCDP:

*“**Learning first hand about other parts of NOAA and getting ideas on how to better integrate our programs. Having an opportunity to work on my weaknesses. Being able to watch others and select behaviors that could work better for me and my surroundings.” ***Nathalie Valette-Silver**
*“**I'd have to say my learnings come down to true effective listening (and caring).  Couple this with associating common events or beliefs (feelings) to my audience in an effective and sincere manner to create a level of trust and understanding.   From there, the possibilities are endless and my role of manager evolves into a role as a leader.”  ***Jamie Verlaque**
*“**The most important things I got out of the LCDP were an opportunity to broaden my exposure to different principles and theories of leadership; an opportunity to apply those lessons to a variety of real world settings in NOAA; and a close relationship with LCDP colleagues who are a constant resource for ideas and inspiration.” ***Jon Kurland**

## Three-Dimensional, Three-Phase Combustion

- A computational fluid dynamics code has been developed to describe the injection of liquid propellants into rocket engine combustion chambers. Unique feature is the use of real fluid properties to describe liquid propellants as they combust to form gaseous and particulate combustion products. The combustion physics has been approximated such that flows from individual injector elements can be investigated so candidate designs can be evaluated numerically.
