## NASA Ames Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR)

- wavelength range:
- 	300 nm to 1700 nm
- spectral resolution ~
- 	8-12 nm
- simultaneous zenith
- 	and nadir viewing
- hemispheric FOV
- Accuracy: ~ 3%; precision: 0.5%
- Missions: FIRE/SHEBA, DOE ARM UAV (1999, 2000, 2002), PRIDE, SAFARI-2000, ACE-Asia, CRYSTAL-FACE, DOE Aerosol IOP

**Notes:**
Instrument specs; we measure flux/irradiance with hemispheric fov for radiation budget analysys. Narrow fov more appropriate for remote sensing.

## SSFR Calibration

## Irradiance and Albedo

## SSFR Spectral Albedo

- 300 nm  1700 nm

- Start

- End

- Albedo   0	0.5	 1.0

## SSFR Time Series

## Water-leaving radiance: MISR Validation

- TOA spectral radiance is integrated contribution from the surface and atmospheric.
- MISR uses only the red and near-infrared “dark water” bands for its aerosol retrievals.
- Sea surface reflectance: assumed negligible in dark bands. Not always negligible in blue-green [f(a, depth, polluted water, ... )]

## Water-leaving radiance: MISR Validation

- Unless the surface contribution is known: significant uncertainties retrieved aerosol properties
- New algorithm to simultaneously retrieve surface reflectance and aerosol properties self-consistently - validation needed
- Water-leaving radiance is largest uncertainty for low *a *
- 	Kahn, et al*., *MISR global aerosol optical depth validation based on two years of coincident AERONET observations*, J. Geophys. Res., *in press. , 2004.

## Water-leaving Irradiance

## Sea Surface Albedo: CF

*(Wendisch et al., 2004)*

**Notes:**
Sea surface spectral albedo, from lowest alt. flight data, corrected to extrapolate to the surface
Strong signature of chlorophyll is the coastal waters

## Water-leaving radiance: MISR Validation

- Identify cases
- Extrapolate flight level albedo to sea surface
- J-31 AOD profiles
- RB lidar
- Water-leaving irradiance  radiance; need BRDF

## MNM Fatal 2005-17

- Machinery
- May 26, 2005 (Ohio)
- Sand & Gravel Operation
- Dredge Operator
- 66 years old
- 48 years mining experience

## Overview

- The victim was engaging the clutch to rotate
- the housing of the dredge water pump.
- When the pump started, a socket, ratchet,
- and pipe combination spun, striking him in
- the head.  The victim was hospitalized and
- died of his injuries on July 3, 2005.

## Slide 3

## Causal Factor

- The procedures used to check the impeller on the dredge water pump were inadequate.  The socket, ratchet, and pipe used as hand tools were inadvertently left on the pump’s impeller shaft nut.

## Best Practices

- Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage (SLAM) each task.
- Ensure miners clearly communicate work procedures with each other.
- Always wear a hard hat.

## Best Practices

- When repairs are completed, take a minute to ensure all tools are put away.
- Examine area for any hazards before re-energizing equipment.
- Practice safe work habits during the entire task.

## The Relationship of Emergency Management Accreditation to Certification** individual credentialing, i.e., higher education degrees

- Jennifer Wilson, Ph.D.
- Florida Division of Emergency Management

## Addressing the problem of emergency management definition and competencies...

- A STANDARD	ALREADY EXISTS

## NFPA 1600 “Standard for Disaster/ Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs”

## NFPA 1600:

- Developed by emergency managers, business continuity professionals, insurance industry representatives
- A *working definition*
- Adopted by national and state professional EM associations (i.e., NEMA, IAEM, FEPA)

## NEMA Accreditation Process

- Current development
- Standards for state and local emergency management *programs*
- Accountability/responsibility

## Professionalization process is in progress

- Accreditation

- Certification

- TIME

- True emergency
- management
- profession

- Past 		     Present 	Future

## Why is this important to you?

- Standards for EM programs will become standards for individual performance
- Academic program developers may need to tailor their programs in order to help practitioners attain the necessary skills for them to do their jobs

## “Following NFPA 1600, it is clear that standardized training and education must be the next step.   IAEM, universities, the fire/rescue and law enforcement community, volunteer organizations, the private sector, and educational organizations  should develop a common curriculum based on the application of NFPA 1600 principles.” (Kueppar 2000)

## Direct InfiniBand Interfaces to next-generation optical networks

- Dr.David T Southwell
- President & CEO

## The big fast data problem...

- ...how to efficiently interface high performance optical networks to:

|  Supercomputers
 Compute Clusters
 Visualization facilities |  Data sources
 Individual workstations
 Storage |
| --- | --- |

- ...such that:
-  Interfaces can scale as optical networks scale
-  Interface programming model and semantics are familiar and friendly
-  A minimum of equipment required for each network connection
-  All WAN transport protocol semantics are abstracted from applications
-  Sustained performance across the WAN approaches wire speed

*- Routinely exchanging multi-Tbyte data sets long haul during daily workflow - *

- Obsidian Research - ONT2 Workshop NASA Ames

- September 13th, 2005

## Proposed solution:Range Extended InfiniBand

- Obsidian has developed a technology that performs InfiniBand encapsulation over 10GbE, POS and ATM WANs at 4x InfiniBand speeds: **Longbow XR**.
-  Looks like a 2-port InfiniBand switch or router to the InfiniBand fabric
-  Designed for 100,000km+ ranges, prototype publicly tested over 1,200km and 3,500km OC-192c networks (SC|04 and OFC’05) working with the Naval Research Labs

- 950+ MBytes/s sustained performance in a single logical flow
- ~ 4% CPU load (Opteron 242s using RDMA transport)
- IPv6 Packet Over SONET & ATM modes

- Obsidian Research - ONT2 Workshop NASA Ames

- September 13th, 2005

## To 10Gb InfiniBand...and beyond!

- InfiniBand will always outpace WAN technology (since HPC is the driver...)
- Channels may be *extrapolated* in both individual bandwidth and number
- Links may be aggregated in switches – allows scaling beyond individual node memory bandwidths
- Continued bandwidth scale up feasible thanks to the bypassing of:
- Operating System / drivers (RDMA)
- IO bus
- CPU core
- Prospect of continuity for applications codes & equipment infrastructure

- (direct to memory controller)

- Obsidian Research - ONT2 Workshop NASA Ames

- September 13th, 2005

## Next steps...

- Obsidian is working with NASA to evaluate Longbow technology against experimental networks and InfiniBand infrastructure
- Productized versions of the 10Gbits/s prototype are being built (Q1’06) :
- Applications software is being developed to facilitate the deployment of the technology
- Development work continues to take the Longbow XR family along the curve to faster InfiniBand and optical network speeds

**Internet journalists now make up the **
**largest group of jailed reporters**

## The jailing of journalists is not new

**Notes:**
one of the primary reasons for the decline was Turkey where the number of journalists in jail declined from 29 to 14 during this period. I believe Syria also released five journalists. As to why it went in 2001, that's simpler. Broad crackdowns in Cuba and Eritrea rounded up dozens of journalists and most have been in jail ever since. The number of imprisoned journalists in China also rose during this period.

- The combination of* *
- Population growth
- Rampant consumerism
- Environmental degradation
- threatens the livelihood of the “have nots” today and increasingly threatens the livelihood of the “haves.”
- The disparity between the life of the poor and that of the rich
-   Fuels a rage that is finding its voice or a

-    Dependence on foreign oil
- CO2 emissions – global warming
-    Internal combustion engine = distributed
-      CO2 emissions
- Alternative energy sources, *viz.* solar, wind, and nuclear energy, require associated energy storage.
-    Can electrochemical energy storage meet
-      this requirement?  Batteries vs Fuel Cells.
- Electric vehicles would eliminate distributed CO2 emissions.

## Can a reanalysis using a frozen model (fixed CO2) have an anthropogenic trend?(Cai and Kalnay, submitted to J. of Climate)

- Intuition may suggest that Reanalysis would at most show only a watered down trend of greenhouse warming, but it is wrong.
- Cai and Kalnay (2003, subm. to J of Cl) show analytically that essentially the full trend present in the observations appears in the Reanalysis after a short transient.

## An analogy of our reasoning

- versus

- Observation	          		      Model
- (a constant warming)                     (a constant drift)

- Q:  What does a data assimilation system do with observations?

- A: In nut shell, at each observational time, a data assimilation
- 	system does a weighted average of the observation
- 	with the model forecasts started from previous
- 	analysis.

## An analogy of our reasoning (cont.)

- Weights assigned to observation and to model = 0.5

## RESULTS

## Ratio of the trend between two consecutive analysis cycles to the trend in the observation as a function of N, the analysis step starting from N = 1, and (1 – a), the weight assigned to the observation in the data assimilation procedure for t/= 0.01.

## General Comments

- Job #1 is to ensure that the Booster is back to normal operation by Monday, 2/3!
- If you do a study a study, write it up and put it on the web!!!! (even a webpage consisting of pointers to the logbook is better than nothing).

## Booster Studies Schedule - Draft

- Monday, 1/27
- 8-4:  Establish beam in Booster. Do MP02 aperture scan.  Return beam to pre-shutdown quality. Pulse MP02 power supply if time (Tomlin, Lackey)
- 4-12:  Aperture scans (Coney, Prebys)
- Tuesday, 1/28
- day:  Pulse MP02 power supply (Lackey)
- 6-??: Secure M.I. and extract beam to MI-8. (Lackey)
- Wednesday, 1/29
-  8-4:  Fire up Gamma-t. system. Look at beam steering and attempt to center beam in quads.  Look at stability of beam for high intensity with the long. damping system.  Perhaps try to spoil the beam with the "fuzzer" (Tomlin, Lackey, Prebys, Pellico).
- 4-12:  Lattice measurement (Coney, Prebys)  [unless we have to take another stab at extracting beam].
- Thursday, 1/30
- 8-12:  Go to DC and set to injection conditions. (Tomlin)
- 12-4: Energy acceptance, emmittance growth, ORBUMP painting.  (Spentz,  Tomlin)
- 4-12: Beam bump extinction studies, RC sweep studies, Longitudinal filling studies (Prebys)
- Friday, 1/31
- 8-12: Ramped chromaticity measurement (Tomlin)
- 0-8: Resonance studies (Spentz)
- 8-12:  IPM response (aborted beam) studies.  Short batch (Pellico+??).
- 12-4:  DC Chromaticity
- 4:  Return to AC operation.
- Weekend:  more lattice and aperture measurements as needed

## Feedback

- Katherine Harkey would like to be around for short batch studies, but can’t be here when it’s scheduled.  Can we move it earlier?
- Kiyomi’s bunch rotation studies?  (I thought these could be done parasitically)
- Dave McGinnis has offered to help get his program running to help Spentz do his study (put beam in DC Thursday owl??).

## CplantTM I/OA Quick Discussion and How-ToRuth Klundt (rklundt@sandia.gov)Lee Ward (lee@sandia.gov)Dept. 9223

## ENFS I/O structure on CplantTM

**Compute Partition**
**Ross/Ross2 ~1500**
**West 256**
**Alaska 256**

**I/O nodes running ENFS daemon**
**12 on Ross/Ross2, 9 on West, 4 on Alaska**
**File system also mounted on service nodes**

**SRN: Endeavor, cross mounted to Tesla**
**SON: Discovery**

*** ******Myrinet***

***Gigabit Ethernet***

## Yod I/O structure on CplantTM

- Service

- NFS /home

**Using /home**

**Using /enfs/tmp without enfs: prefix**

*** ****Myrinet*

* **Myrinet*

*** ****Ethernet*

*Gigabit Ethernet*

## ENFS - Extended NFS

- A scalable I/O solution running on Cplant clusters
- ENFS daemons run on dedicated I/O nodes
- Each I/O node is an independent data path within the cluster, enabling parallel file access
- ENFS daemons on I/O nodes collect external file server(s) into one tree, under /enfs, and present them to Cplant compute and service nodes
- I/O rates significantly enhanced while maintaining a unified name space

## Advantages

- Aggregate transfer rate can be up to 20 times better than yod I/O for 16+ process jobs, depending on traffic
- Typically faster than yod I/O even for 1 processor job
- Avoids serialization of I/O through service node, which can negatively impact interactive response
- Files are also available on compile platforms and visualization machines (SGI platforms)
- More space available, no quotas

## Disadvantages

- No synchronization of operations from different compute nodes
- Overlapping writes are not supported
- No file locking
- File size limitation of 2GB imposed by current Linux kernel version, also true through yod I/O

## Using ENFS in Parallel Mode

- From a service node, compile node or tesla/discovery:
- 	#> cd /enfs/tmp
- 	#> mkdir *username*
*	*#> unix commands should work
- Within the code, specify the filename as:
- 	enfs:/enfs/tmp/username/*path_to_file*/*filename*
- That’s it...

## Fortran Example

**C -----------------------------------------------------**
**C Very short example of opening a file on /enfs/tmp**
**C -----------------------------------------------------**
**        ****program main**
**	****open(11,file=‘enfs:/enfs/tmp/rklundt/ftest’)**
**	****write(11,*) ‘Hello fortran’**
**	****close(11)**
**	****stop**
**	****end**

## C Example

**/***
****  Very short example of opening a file on /enfs/tmp**
***/**
**#include <stdio.h>**
**int main (int argc, char** argv)**
**{**
**  ****file = fopen(“enfs:/enfs/tmp/rklundt/ctest”, “w”);**

## prairie dropseed Sporobolus  heterolepsis (Gray) Gray Other common names; northern dropseed.

**Medicinally:**
-  The Ojibwa would crush the root and apply the poultice to sores.  It was also used as a decoction “to remove bile” as a liver aid.
**Culturally:**
- It is one of the most palatable of the Sporobolus species.  Due to its abundance, nutrition and taste it is an important hay and pasture grass in Nebraska.  It is widely used for roadside revegetation and prairie rehabilitation projects.  It is also used in residential landscaping.  It is on the endangered species list in Ohio and North Carolina.

## Mechanical Tests on Structure

- Mechanical Tests are being started using real extrusions.
- Purpose of the tests are to evaluate the accuracy and validity of FEA model and assumptions.
- See DocDB 704 for test descriptions
- See DocDB 1120 and 1194 for results of current testing.

## Results of 3 Extrusion Test DocDb 1194

- Two extrusions had endseals attached to simulate vertical extrusions.
- These “vertical” extrusions were then used to sandwich a third extrusion that did not have endseals and was used to simulate a horizontal extrusion.
- Extrusion bonding was done using 3M 2216 with the surfaces of the extrusions roughened.
- Extrusions were attached to the extrusions to measure strain/stress.
- Pressure was increased from 19psi, 40psi, 60psi, 80psi.
- Main purpose of this test was to evaluate the strength of the 3M bond

## 3 Extrusion Test

## 3 Extrusion Test

## 3 Extrusion Test

## 3 Extrusion Test - Results

- The extrusions were pressurized to 19psi and strain gage data recorded.
- As pressure was increased to 40 psi, after 35psi a series of “popping” noises were heard.  There were assumed to be bonds breaking.
- At 40psi the strain gage data was recorded and the extrusions inspected.
- Pressure was increased to 60 and then 80psi.  “Popping” noises were heard each time as the pressure increased.
- The pressure was held for 1.5hours at 19, 40, 60psi.  Once the pressure was stable no additional popping noises were heard.
- Endseal began leaking at 80psi before strain gage data could be recorded.

## 3 Extrusion Test - Results

- 12” long feeler gages were used to evaluate the number of glue bonds broken.  Only the first few perimeter bonds appear to have failed.  See DocDb 1194 for details.
- Stresses were calculated from stains and compared reasonable well with FEA model within the accuracy of extrusion wall thickness and assumed modulus.  See DocDb 1194 for details.
- FEA model of adhesive peel/shear stresses done.  FEA predicts at 35-40psi that peel stress along the perimeter will reach the experimental limit.  This corresponds with point where the “popping” noises began to be heard.

## 3 Extrusion Test - Results

## Conclusions – Further Mechanical Tests

- The FEA model was able to predict the pressure at which bond failure by peel would begin.  Strains/stresses match reasonably well with model.
- 11 layer 1extrusion x 1 extrusion test will be performed next week.  Will be testing adhesive bond, PVC stresses, and progressive swelling.
- Dave P. performing tests on progressive swelling.
- 8 Layer IPND block will be constructed and tested in the next few weeks.  This block will have weights added to the top as well as being pressurized to simulate the stresses in the adhesive of the full height block.
- Extrusions from the latest extrusion run will be used for additional tests that will be developed based on what we learn from upcoming tests.
- Eventually will do a full-height prototype.
