## Dynamic Initialization to Improve Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Structure Forecasts

- Chi-Sann Liou
- Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, CA
- (JHT Project, Progress Report)

## Unbalanced Initial Conditions of a TC Forecast

- Improper balance conditions included in analyzing TC circulation
- Diabatic Forcing: an important component in TC circulation balance
- Forecast model must be involved in getting balanced initial conditions
- Method of getting balanced initial conditions
- 4D Var, or
- 3D Var with a proper initialization procedure

## Unbalanced Initial Conditions

_**Unbalanced Initial Conditions**_

## Dynamic Initialization 

- Must consider diabatic forcing in TC balance
- Dynamic initialization
-     **(assuming unbalanced components are high frequency)**

## Digital Filter

- A very selective low pass filter
- Using truncated inverse Fourier transform to remove high frequency components from input signals

- In Frequency Domain:

## H =>

- Unfortunately:

- converges very slowly !!

- H **=>**

## c = 2/(6*3600)

**Filter Response Function**

****c = 2/(6*3600)
-  t = 240s

**=>**

## Window Functions

-  Apply a window function to improve convergence:

- i.e.,

## Windows Tested

- 	Lanczos:
- 	Hamming:
- 	Riesz:
- 	Kaiser:
- Dolph-Chebyshev:

- T2N: Chebyshev polynomial,

## Response Functions with Windows

**Response Functions with Windows**

## Dynamic Initialization with Digital Filtering

**Dynamic Initialization with Digital Filtering**

- Adiabatic:

- Diabatic:

## Initialization integration  cutoff frequency (period=c):

- Compute filter weights
- Apply filtering
- Perform backward and forward initialization integration
- ===> 95% cost

- Initialization integration **** cutoff frequency (period=******c**):

- For tropical cyclone forecast: ******c **= 2 hours

- (For NWP forecast with Lanczos window :  ******c**= 6 hours)

## Initialization with Digital Filtering

_**Initialization with Digital Filtering**_

## Tropical Cyclone Isabel (2003091012)

_**Tropical Cyclone Isabel **__(2003091012)_

**Analyzed**

**Initialized**

## Initialization with Digital Filtering

## Slide 16

## Summary

- With the Dolph-Chebyshev window and 2-h cutoff period, diabatic digital filtering can effectively provide much better balanced initial conditions of a tropical cyclone
- Adiabatic digital filtering only marginally improves initial conditions for tropical cyclone forecast
- The  type-2 diabatic digital filtering integration strategy makes very little difference in the results, but cost 1⁄4 more in time integration
- Diabatic digital filtering initialization improves track forecast of COAMPS®

## Arwen Hutt & Bradley D. Westbrook
Metadata Analysis and Specification Unit
UCSD Libraries

For 
PREMIS Workshop
La Jolla, CA, 11 Feb 2008

- Arwen Hutt & Bradley D. Westbrook
- Metadata Analysis and Specification Unit
- UCSD Libraries
- For
- PREMIS Workshop
- La Jolla, CA, 11 Feb 2008

## UCSD Libraries’ Digital Content

- Digital production distributed throughout the libraries (MSCL, SIO, AAL, etc.)
- Projects dating from the mid-nineties
- Metadata (descriptive & technical) varies
- Formats are fairly, but not completely, homogenous; primarily images at this point, but also text, audio and video.
- UCSD Libraries’ DAMS
- Bring together Libraries’ digital objects to facilitate management
- Normalize metadata

## Problem of Technical Metadata

- Common semantic units encoded/stored in many different ways (both standard and local)
- Simplify management
- Support format specific metadata
- Choice of PREMIS
- Express non format specific metadata
- (Current) management procedures utilize the same elements regardless of file format
- Extensible for supporting future additional management functions

## METS Profiles 

- Codify requirements for the DAMS
- _[Simple Object Profile ](http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000012.html)_& _[Complex Object Profile](http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000017.html)_
- PREMIS techMD section required
- Additional, techMD sections optional for format specific metadata
- MIX
- Audio Spec / Guidelines (potential)

## Elements

**Required:**
- pre/object/objectIdentifier/objectIdentifierType
- pre/object/objectIdentifier/objectIdentifierValue
- pre/object/preservationLevel
- pre/object/objectCategory (file)
- pre/object/objectCharacteristics/fixity/messageDigestAlgorithm
- pre/object/objectCharacteristics/fixity/messageDigest
- pre/object/objectCharacteristics/size
- pre/object/objectCharacteristics/format/formatName
- pre/object/creatingApplication/dateCreatedByApplication
**Encouraged, but not required:**
- pre/object/storage/storageMedium
- pre/object/objectCharacteristics/formatDesignation/formatVersion pre/object/creatingApplication/creatingApplicationName
- pre/object/originalName

## Where does it come from?

- Automated extraction and recording (jhove)
- Taken from legacy metadata (either recorded in house or vendor supplied)
- Management Functions
- Authenticity verification
- Replication of files to CDL’s DPR
- Format migration

## Use only base level object assertions

- No use of event, agent, or rights assertions

## Nb3Sn Conductor Development: Impact on Mesostability

- Sharmili Datta and Xuekui Fu
- Accelerator Technology Corp.
- Peter McIntyre and Akhdiyor Sattarov
- Texas A&M University

## Conductor Development Program Goals

- Jc = 3 kA/mm2 @ 12 T 4.2 K
- Deff < 40 m
- Theat < 200 hr
- Strain tolerance
- 10 km piece length
- Cost < $1.50/kAm
- Microstability/mesostability?

## ATC is developing manufacturing technology for reacted-rod internal-tin conductor: batch process continuous process

- Large hollow subelement billet
- No gun drilling
- 400 kg  billet – x10 fewer batches, less handling
- Insert Sn core after extrusion
- Phase 1 SBIR, completed 2004
- Extrude subelements to ~cm diameter;
- 	Continuous Tube Forming Ta barrier, Cu stabilizer
- Minimize cold work of Ta – no cracking
- Ta barriers on all subelements – no bridging
- Continuous process – no piece length limit
- Phase 1 SBIR, completed 2003
- Integrate hollow-billet  CTF Ta, Cu  Continuous restack  400 kg batch
- Phase 2 SBIR proposal, under review

## Mesostability

- Near jc, current and heat must distribute from one subelement to another.
- Current and heat from an internal subelement must pass through either adjacent subelements or inter-subelement Cu
- Most IT conductor uses Nb or Nb/Ta barriers on subelements, not Ta.  Inter-subelement copper tends to be bronzed during reaction, high resistivity

## Inter-subelement copper plays an important role in mesostability

- Every subelement has intact Ta barrier
- Cu layer between subelements should have good RRR

*Wiedermann-Franz Law: *
- High electrical conductivity  High thermal conductivity

## High-conductivity copper between subelements is magic for mesostability against a quench within one subelement

- Transport current to re-distribute to neighboring subelements
- Transport heat to heal the microquench
- Need to develop valid model to optimize amount, distribution of copper

## Continuous Tube Forming for applying Ta barrier, Cu stabilizer

## R&D – improve Ta barrier

- ATC is developing powder metallurgy, bonding technology to prepare finer-grain Ta foils and bond them directly to Cu sheath foil prior to CTF application
- Decrease Ta grain size – 20 m → 2 m
- Bi-laminar Ta/Cu foil

## How not to prepare a billet!

## We want to develop a model for mesoquench stability – we need help! 

- We want to develop a model for mesoquench stability – we need help!

## Hollow billet development

- Two goals:
- Smooth surface on copper ID:
- IGC performed a hollow extrusion ~15 years ago, but abandoned it because of folding/striation
- Preservation of registration of Nb elements
- 150 kg billet prepared and extruded: *success and failure*
*Copper ID completely smooth and unfolded:*
- Polish inner mandrel, hone billet ID
*Registration destroyed: *
- NbTi rods were not annealed, *did not extrude*.
- Could have been cured by simple anneal – *stupidity!*

- Introduction
- The National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Hydrologic Development (OHD) is sponsoring the Hydrology XML Consortium (HydroXC). The overall goal is to develop a general schema that can be used for transferring hydrologic data. The schema is designed to serve two major purposes:
- to enable data translation, and
- to represent hydrologic features
- The development of this schema is supported by HydroXC which is comprised of members from government, academia, and private companies.
- General Schema
- The general HydroXC structure consists of:
- Header: universal unit and measurement system specifications
- Request: parameter and format specifications
- Report: location and data points (observation forecasts)
- The schema complies with international standards such as ISO 8061 for date/time data, and the schema’s handling of geo-referencing is based on the Geographic Markup Language.

- Hydrologic Object Descriptions
- The HydroXC schema can represent standard hydrologic features including (but not limited to):
- River Reach
- Channel Cross Section
- Reservoir
- Future work will include representations for an entire watershed.
- Data Transfer Adapters and Conversion
- A HydroXC compliant XML file can serve as an input, output or a stepping stone between disparate systems. The adapters will enable conversion between proprietary formats including:
- Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS)
- Standard Hydrologic Exchange Format (SHEF)
- Hydrologic Engineering Center Data Storage System (HEC-DSS)
- Hydrologic Markup Language (HYDROML)

## GLOBUS_XIO

## Architeture

- Plugins

**Architeture**

## User API

- posix like api
- open, close, read, write, seek, flush, opendir, closedir, readdir, rewinddir, mkdir, rmdir, rename, stat, chmod, chown
- Uses handles and attributes instead of file descriptors and flags.
- File names are URLs
- Asynchronous and synchronous functions
- A nonblocking function with a callback for all io blocking functions.

## Plugins

- The majority of the work is done by plugins
- Plugins are responsible for all file access and data transporting.
- The api does error checking and state book keeping only.
- Easy to add new protocols to existing applications
- All applications written to the globus_xio api can use any plugin.
- To add a new protocol, write a new plugin.
- URL based
- Each plugin is associated with the scheme portion of a url.  file:/tmp/foo will be associated with the "file" plugin.
- When a url is opened the correct plugin is found.

## Plugins Interface

- Thin layer away from user API
- Open, close, read, write, flush
- API hides some book keeping issues and provides "helper" functions.
- Blocking or nonblocking calls are exposed to the plugin author.
- Blocking can be implemented in terms of nonblocking, but is not required.
- Does not require the author to implement 2 functions.
- This provides oppertunities for optimization

## Operation

- The plugin for the handle is selected based on the url
- All io operations performed on the handle are routed to the selected plugin.

- Attr owns n number of plugins

- Handle is associate with an attr when a url is opened

## Re-entrant /  "stackable"

- globus_xio is reentrant
- Plugins can be implemented by using the globus_xio library

## Regional Input-Output Modeling System (RIMS II)

**Zoë O. Ambargis**
*Understanding Regional Economic Data for Policy and Planning*
*Dallas, TX*
- September 8, 2006

## What is RIMS II?

- Developed in the mid 1970’s
- Model incorporates the linkages among the industries in a regional economy
- Provides five types of input-output multipliers for any county or multi-county region
- The multipliers are useful, baseline, order-of-magnitude estimates commonly used to analyze the impacts of economic development projects

## How Have RIMS II Multipliers Been Used?

- Opening and closing military bases
- Tourist expenditures
- New energy facilities
- Construction of sports facilities
- New retail establishments
- New airports or port facilities
- Opening and closing manufacturing plants
- University expenditures

## How Have RIMS II Multipliers Been Used?

## Who Uses RIMS II Multipliers?

## RIMS II Multipliers

| Multiplier | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| Final-demand output | Total industry output per $1 change in final demand |
| Final-demand earnings | Total industry earnings per $1 change in final demand |
| Final-demand employment | Total number of jobs per $1 million change in final demand |
| Direct-effect earnings | Total household earnings per $1 initial change in household earnings |
| Direct-effect employment | Total  number of jobs per initial change in jobs |

## Questions to Ask

- What is being studied?
- What is the affected region?
- Is there more than one phase?
- How long will the project take?
- What are the affected industries?
- What is the final-demand change?
- How large is the final-demand change?

## Example 1:  Investment in New Construction

- Question:  *What is the total impact on a region of building a new sports facility?*
*What is the final-demand change?*
*$100 million investment in new construction*
*What is the affected region?*
*Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX MSA*

## Example 1:  Total Impact of an Investment in New Construction

## Example 1:  Total Output Impact of Investment in New Construction

## Slide 11

##  Example 2:  Sports Facility Operation

- Question:  *What is the total impact on a region of sports facility operation?*

## Example 2:  Total Impact of Sports Facility Operation

## Example 2:  Total Earnings Impact of Sports Facility Operation

**Example 2:  Total Earnings Impact of Sports Facility Operation**

## Example 2:  Total Employment Impact of Sports Facility Operation

**Example 2:  Total Employment Impact of Sports Facility Operation**

## Important Considerations

- Multipliers are best suited for estimating the impacts of changes that are small relative to the size of the region’s economy
- Size of multiplier will vary from one industry to another and from one regional economy to another

## SPACECRAFT ACCIDENTS:  EXAMINING THE PAST, IMPROVING THE FUTURESkylab Space Station 

- Bryan Palaszewski
- working with the
- Digital Learning Network
- NASA Glenn Research Center

## Skylab (1/2)

- Launched: May 14, 1973
- Mission: to be the first USA Space Station, allowing crews of 3 to work for up to 84 days in space
- During launch, the meteoroid shield that protects the station ripped away from the Skylab, severely reducing its power level and creating a life threatening atmosphere in the station (very hot).

## Skylab (2/2)

- Repairs were made by astronaut crews, and the station was made safe for habitation. Three-person crews visited it for 28, 59, and 84 days, doing major scientific investigations.
- Skylab re-entered Earth’s atmosphere on July 11, 1979.

## Skylab Results (1/2)

- A sunshade was designed and was launched with the first Skylab crew.
- The sunshade was erected, and the temperatures in the Skylab station dropped to acceptable levels.
- The atmosphere was cleaned of harmful vapors, and the crew worked in the station for 28 days.

## Skylab Results (2/2)

- One solar array wing was ripped away during launch.
- Fortunately, the second solar array wing was still attached to the station.
- The sunshade was deployed during space walks by the first crew.
- An additional sunshade was erected by the second crew.
