## SITE SPECIFIC HYDROLOGIC PREDICTOR

- 2004 National Hydrologic Program Manager’s Conference
- Gregg Rishel

## DISCUSSION TOPICS

- Status
- RFC Support
- Considerations

## STATUS

- Forecasting tool for fast responding streams
- Part of AWIPS baseline
- RFCs support for Site Specific occurring or planned
- Currently no snow modeling capability

## RECENT CHANGES

- SAC SMA
- Distinct MAP preprocessor
- User interface – graphical editing of precipitation

## SAC SMA 

- Site Specific SAC SMA particulars
- Continuous mode
- Space scale of target basin
- Existing RFC 6 hour SAC SMA states not necessarily transferable
- Calibration Options
- Model State Maintenance Options

## RFC SUPPORT FOR SITE SPECIFIC

- Basin delineations
- Unit hydrographs
- Ratings
- FFG/FFH or SAC SMA states

## BASIN DELINEATIONS 

- Needed for MAP computation
- Number of approaches available
- IHABBS
- Other GIS

## RATINGS AND UNIT HYDROGRAPHS

- Gaged locations
- Rating often available
- Data generally available for UH development
- Ungaged locations
- Synthetic ratings and UH
- Amount and quality of data available to generate these is variable

## FFG/FFH or SAC SMA STATES

- FFG/FFH
- For API usage
- SAC SMA
- Calibration options
- Data transfer options
- Set up will require RFC resources

## CONSIDERATIONS

- Soil moisture
- Synthetic UH and Ratings
- MPE
- Expectations

## SOIL MOISTURE

- FFG/FFH inaccuracies
- Site Specific (KC) API may not match API at other RFCs, i.e. MARFC contAPI
- SAC SMA will require calibration work
- Maintaining SAC SMA states will require effort

## SYNTHETIC RATINGS AND UNIT HYDROGRAPHS

- Accuracy highly dependant on data available for creation
- Even with good data – refinements will be required

## MPE

- Provides the precipitation input for Site Specific
- REQUIRES quality control
- RFC MPE and WFO MPE on different scales, not directly transferable – work underway on this
- Tools available for editing

## Slide 14

## Slide 15

## Slide 16

## EXPECTATIONS

- Good input - reasonable forecasts
- “Black Box” approach will not likely yield desired results
- Site Specific is not a sophisticated model
- Supplement to RFC guidance, not a replacement

## SUMMARY

- Part of AWIPS Base line
- RFC Support for basin set up and soil moisture
- Recognize and understand system limitations
- Reasonable expectations have yielded reasonable results

## In Memory of 

**Craig S. Johnson, a 23 year-old M.S. candidate from Greenville, Tennessee, was killed in an aircraft accident on Saturday, October 8, 1994.  Craig, along with technician Scott Shull and pilot Jonathan Saunders, was radio tracking Florida panthers at Big Cypress National Preserve near Ochopee, Florida.  At about 10:30 am, their Cessna 172 went down four miles north of Highway 41 at Big Cypress.  All three were instantly killed.  The telemetry work was part of a four-year effort to determine effects of public use on the endangered cats.  Craig was flying nearly every day to locate the panthers and to collect activity data for use in those analyses.**
**The wildlife profession has lost a very bright, promising young man.  Craig graduated with a B.S. degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Tennessee Tech University (TTU) in December 1993.  While at TTU, Craig was president of his fraternity, the Zeta Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha.  Craig was also a member of The Wildlife Society and served as president of the TTU Student Chapter during 1992-93.  Craig's fellow students recognized his service by electing him the 1993 Outstanding Member of the TTU Wildlife Society Student Chapter. Before graduating Cum Laude, Craig was chosen by the faculty of the TTU Department of Biology as the 1991 recipient of the Citizen's Bank Award, recognizing the most outstanding sophomore in the entire wildlife and biology class.  Craig also received one of the 1993 National Wildlife Leadership Awards sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Olin/Winchester Corporation.**
**Craig had an intense love for the natural world and he spent much of his spare time hunting, fishing, and hiking. Craig had an intense curiosity about the relationships among wildlife resources, environmental conditions, and human impacts on these resources.**
**We take great comfort in knowing that Craig loved what he was doing and was deeply committed to the panther work in south Florida.  He had made many friends there and, although being from the mountains of east Tennessee, was just beginning to develop an appreciation for the beauty and vulnerability of the south Florida ecosystem.  Plans are to continue the research there; we think that is how Craig would have wanted it.**
**Craig is survived by his parents, J. B. and Fredna Susong Johnson, his two sisters, Vickie and Nancy, and his brother, David.**

## Detected fringes @ 0.525 keV (23 Å) and 1.49 keV (8.35 Å) with a 650 micron baseline (~0.1” at 1.49 keV)
There are several significant implications of this years work:
We have demonstrated interferometry over a factor of 3 of wavelength within the X-ray band.
Our measurement at 8.35 Å is the shortest wavelength light to have produced fringes in a broadbandpass interferometer.
We have successfully proven a core MAXIM concept

## Two 2-pack wheels = $2.00; 2.5 12” axles = $3.38; corked bottle = $.53; capped bottle = $.82; Combo gear packs A & D = $12.00 for 20 gears so actual cost for 4 gears is $2.40; transformer = $7.70; shipping + tax $5.01; Total = $22.85

- Volunteer donated & soldered alligator clips onto end of cord.

- Volunteer sawed axles into 6” lengths & cut smaller pieces for attaching tubing to storage tank.

- Wheels, gears, & axles from Pitsco web site.

- Transformer from Digi-Key web site.

## Plastic bottles are from a Hobby Lobby store.

- Capped plastic bottle has a hole slightly larger than 1/8” diameter in cap.  Need to wrap tape around rod to improve seal for gas storage.

- Corked plastic bottle is cheaper & slightly lighter in weight.  However, you need to drill a small hole through cork to stick piece of hollow tube through for getting gas in and out of bottle.

- Food coloring bottles for storage tanks sounds like a great idea.  Is there enough capacity to run car for racing?

- 1.5” diameter

- 3.0” length

- bottle top is 0.8” length

## Axles are hollow for lighter weight and for use in transferring gases through tubing.  They are 1/8” diameter so tubing will go over ends.  Diameter of axles dictated the size of gears and wheels (needed 1/8” diameter holes).

- 0.5” diameter

- 1.3” diameter

## Don’t really like these wheels but available options (for 1/8” axles) on Pitsco web site were limited.

- 0.6” wide

- 1.3” diameter

- I also ordered hubs from Pitsco thinking they had the hole for the wheels.  I was wrong & needed to return the hubs.

## Digitization and transcription of oral history interviews

- Tiffany C. Vance
- NMFS/Alaska Fisheries Science Center

## Scientific Rationale

- Importance of data
- Provides evidence of intangible aspects of research
- Unique record of research projects, many interview subjects no longer with us
- Provides view of both public and hidden side of research – these may differ
- Motivations for research, context for projects
- Traditional scientific knowledge
- Was research done/not done at locations for non-scientific reasons?   How does this affect spatial coverage of data that was collected?  Spatial bias?
- Links to NOAA Preserve America Initiative (PAIG) grants to do oral histories of arctic research and development of marine forecasting.

## Approach for FY 2007 Task

- Magnetic tapes recorded to digital media
- Source tapes are reel-to-reel and cassette
- 175–200 cassette tape sides, 30 or 45 minutes/side
- Audio files transcribed to text file
- QC of transcription
- Checking accuracy of transcription
- Word list for scientific terms created by AFSC
- Database of interviews, audio file name, and transcript file name created

## Specific Tasks

- PI provides
- Tapes/audio files of interviews
- Guidelines for transcription of oral history interviews
- List of scientific terms found in interviews
- QC of transcripts
- Advice on technology needed for transcriptions (if contractor wishes)
- Contractor will
- Copy analog tapes to digital audio
- Create database listing source tape, audio file, transcript file and any transcription notes
- Transcribe audio files to text files following standard guidelines for transcription

## Data Sample

- Archibald Cox interview – audio is at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/digital/collections/oral_hist/cox/interview.html
- Transcript sample:
- Interviewee: Archibald Cox Session #1
- Interviewer: Thomas Hilbink Brooksville, Maine
- Date: June 19, 2000
- Q: I was hoping that we could spend the first session talking about things that happened
- prior to your becoming Solicitor General. So this is all the biography and history prior to
- 1961.
- Cox: Well, go ahead. We'll see how long it takes.
- Q: Okay. I need to say, I'm Thomas Hilbink and I'm here in Brooksville, Maine, with
- Professor Archibald Cox. We're discussing his work as Solicitor General as part of the
- Supreme Court Historical Society's program on the Office of Solicitor General.
- So I guess I'd like to start with some basic information, where you were born, when, and
- things like that.
- Cox: I was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, May 17, 1912. I, with my family, lived in
- Plainfield until after I'd graduated from law school. My wife [Phyllis Ames Cox] and I had
- our own home.
- Q: Did you go to public school or private school?
- Cox: I went to private schools, both in Plainfield, until I was fourteen, when I went to St.
- Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire.
- Q: At St. Paul's, at that time what did one study in high school at St. Paul's? Was it still
- Greek and Latin-based?

## What is the role of Advanced Computing? 

- All of the projects in our center make use of advanced computing
- The CEMM center used over 6,000,000 NERSC node-hours in FY2003
-  mp288, mp21, mp94, mp290, m127, m275

## What have we learned from the ISICs?

- It has been confirmed that high order (3-5th) finite elements are a big win for fusion MHD:
- a must for highly anisotropic heat conduction
- leads to smaller matrices for same accuracy, making an implicit time advance feasible
- Adaptive Mesh Refinement is a powerful tool for some transient problems with a range of space scales,
-  but it’s usefulness for slow-growing MHD modes has not been demonstrated.
- It is valuable to have multiple, interoperable linear solvers available.
- this is especially true now that the Cray-X1 is in the mix of architectures available to us

## Is progress limited by computing power or by algorithms? 

- All of our new applications will be resource limited.
- The resources available determine the allowed resolution,
- This in turn determines what range of physical parameters can be realistically modeled.
- However, our model extension activities require better algorithms.

## southern red oakQuercus  falcata  Michx.Synonyms:  Quercus  aurea,  Q.  cuneata,  Q.  digitata,  Q.  elongata, Q.  hypophlaeos, Q.   joorii,  Q.  nigra,  Q.  nobillis,  Q.  rubra,  Q.  triloba.Other common names;  red oak, Spanish oak, water oak, chene rouge.

**PLANT FACTS:**
- Southern red oaks are normally found on dry, sandy, or clay loam upland sites.  Because it likes acid soils it is rarely found on limestone soils.  It is a very common part of many mixed forests.
- It is a medium sized tree which is moderately fast growing.  It normally reaches heights of 60 to 80 feet.  The national champion Southern red oak has a 104 feet branch spread and is 135 feet tall in Harwood, Maryland.  It normally lives to be about 100 years old.
- It is a hard, strong wood which is coarse grained and used for building construction, flooring, furniture and firewood.
- Like other oaks the acorns are a valuable mast food for numerous wildlife animals.

## Origin of BLM readout system sensitivity specifications:

*Note 5/17/81 of R. Shafer says*: limits for energy deposition in TeV magnets
-                                                     slow loss 8 milliwatts/gram
-                                                     fast loss  0.5 millijoule/gram
- 1 Rad = 100 ergs/gram;            1 millijoule/gram = 100 Rads
-                                               => slow loss 800 Rads/sec
-                                                     fast loss 50 Rads
- Range: 1% of quench level to 10 times quench level.
- BLM detectors see between 1/50 and 1/500 of the level into the magnet coil.. - the 1/50 is more consistent with measurements in left-bend tests.
- Upper Rads Rate limit in BLM set by 800/50 x 10 = 160Rads/sec
- Upper Rads (fast) limit in BLM set by 50/50 x 10   = 10 Rads
- Lower Rads Rate limit in BLM set by Upper/(10 *100*10) Rads/sec
- Lower Rads (fast) limit in BLM set by Upper/10,000
*Note 2/25/82 of R. Shafer* *says* 1 Rad = 70 nC in BLM

- quench   1%   50 vs 500

## Present Tevatron System Parameters:  

*Note of R. Shafer 3/1/82* – test of logarithmic integrator- shows
-         full scale current = 2 x 10-5 amps ( 260  rads/sec)
-         full scale charge = 10-6 C  (14 rads)
-         lowest scale current  = 0.2 nA
-         lowest scale charge  = 0.1 nC
-         time constants; slow = 1/16 sec, fast = 20 microsecond
