## A proposal to measure transport variationsbetween the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans

*Mark Wimbush*
- Graduate School of OceanographyUniversity of Rhode Island

## I  PROPOSE ADDING ~20 CPIESs DEPLOYED FOR 2-4 YEARSTO THE 10+ PIESs IN THE GOODHOPE ARRAY 

- Why an Africa-Antarctica array?
- ● Will measure exchange flows between the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans (“warm-water-route”).
- Why now?
- ● Will (a) contribute directly to the 2007-2011 BONUS-GOODHOPE program, and (b) obtain several years of data simultaneous with the *Chereskin, Donohue and Watts* 2008-2011 measurements in the Drake Passage (“cold-water route”).
- Why a CPIES array?
- ● This is the most cost effective way to measure the time-varying cross-sectional absolute current structure over a long time period (several years).

## ASTTEX array2003-2005(Deirdre Byrne and Randy Watts)

- ASTTEX array2003-2005(*Deirdre Byrne and Randy Watts*)

- Δ*x *= 62 -180 km

## GOODHOPE PIES array

- 8 PIES (*Boebel*)
- +2 PIESs (locations undecided)(*Speich)*
*+ *more PIESs? (*Byrne*)

- GOODHOPE PIES array

## CPIES Transport Arrays:Drake Passage (17 CPIESs, blue) Chereskin, Donohue & WattsAfrica-Antarctica (23 CPIESs, red) 

- 17 CPIESs
- Δ*x *= 30 – 75 km

- 23 CPIESs
- Δ*x *= 154 -159 km

## ISSUES

- ● Should CPIES spacing (~155 km) be reduced in high-energy/frontal regions (e.g., Agulhas rings, SAF, PF) and correspondingly increased in other regions?
- ● Is 60 ̊S an appropriate southern terminus for the array?
- ● Alternatively, should we limit the CPIES array to the region north of *Olaf Boebel*’s ANT-5 site (~42 ̊S)?
- ● Can we better integrate the array with PIESs from others: *Boebel, Speich, Byrne, Garzoli,* etc?
- ● How many CPIES instruments do we need?  Is 23 enough?
- ● What ships can we use to deploy and recover the CPIES instruments in the array?
- ● Will it be possible to take CTD casts at the CPIES sites?  How often?
- ● Should we consider acoustically telemetering the data to a ship, prior to instrument recovery, e.g., once a year?
- ● Are multi-component GEM fields needed to interpret the data?
- ● Can we hope to use such an array to measure heat and salt fluxes in addition to mass fluxes?

## Truly random number generator based on turbulent convection of liquid crystals J.T. Gleeson, Kent State University, DMR-9988614

- Sequences of random numbers are necessary for a wide variety of applications, most notably strong encryption of digital data.  Commonly, computers are programmed to generate such numbers, but these sequences are necessarily only “pseudo-random” as opposed to truly random, because they are generated by an algorithm.  We have developed a device which samples the light scattered by a nematic liquid crystal when it undergoes strongly turbulent (or chaotic) flow induced by an electric field.  Once digitized and suitably processed, the numbers generated by measuring the light transmission fluctuations pass the most stringent tests of unpredictibility for streams of truly random numbers.
*Appl. Phys. Lett.*, **81**, 1949 (2002).                       J.T. Gleeson, United States Patent Pending.

**NOAA’s National Weather Service**

## What is Velocity?

***Velocity ******is a****** Java-based template engine.***
***Templates contain Text, Variables (references) and Velocity Template Language (VTL).***
***Text is output unchanged. ***
***Variables can be Java Objects.***
***VTL is a scripting language.***

## WarnGen GUI

***The Warngen GUI is driven by:***
***config.xml***
*** ******java code***
***<template>.cfg files.***
*** ******The <template>.cfg files control many parameters about warnings***

- <template>.cfg Values in GUI

## WarnGen Templates

***The Warngen Templates are the <template>.vm files***

## Some Thoughts on Schottky for LHCPeter Cameron - BNL

## Thoughts

- The need
- What you can measure
- Examples from RHIC
- Lessons learned at RHIC
- Day One at LHC
- Advocates are essential

- NAPA Schottky

## The Need

- The accelerator is expensive, instrumentation is comparatively cheap
- All of the information (except position, coherent tune,...?) regarding the beam is available in Schottky spectrum
- Schottky is always there, no emittance growth
- RHIC experience has shown value of multiple and/or fallback measurements

- NAPA Schottky

## What You can Measure

- Synchrotron frequency – cavity phasing,...
- Momentum spread
- Incoherent tune – the one you really care about
- Linear Chromaticity
- Non-linear chromaticity – lineshape
- Non-linear tune spread – two ways
- Betatron sum width relative to revolution line
- Central line width
- Transverse emittance
- Coupling,.....

- NAPA Schottky

## LF Schottky on the Ramp

- Injection

- Transition

- NAPA Schottky

## HF Schottky Tune up the Ramp 

- inj

- transition

- store

- NAPA Schottky

## Down Ramp Chromaticity

- NAPA Schottky

## HF Schottky with Polarized Protons 

- NAPA Schottky

## HF Schottky at Store - RHIC 2001 

- Flat top

- transition

- 200MHz on

- NAPA Schottky

## Chromaticity during Store (protons) 

- 200MHz RF on

- NAPA Schottky

## Fit Dependence of Chromaticity 

- tunes

- 4th order

- 2nd order

- 6th order

- 4th order

- NAPA Schottky

## Emittance and deltap/p thru store 

- Emittance jumps at pol measurement

- Deltap/p growth greater in blue than yellow

- NAPA Schottky

## Schottky Lessons Learned

- Dynamic range problem - Saturation of transverse mode due to revolution line – motion control is essential
- Sensitivity to beam loss – wall currents blind the pickup
- Mixers – beam synchronous LOs are essential
- Software – Sophisticated algorithms essential to extract sophisticated data, requires considerable experience with beam to get this right
- Platform
- DSAs are a pain due to data output rate limitations
- In terms of sophistication, it is hard to beat a DSA with DSPs
- RHIC experience – first DSAs, then DSPs, then back to DSAs

- NAPA Schottky

## Day One at LHC

- Traveling wave pickup appears advantageous
- Scaling of S/N
- Transverse impedance? 10dB difference
- Resonant cavity ~ 10 M/m
- TW pickup ~ 1 M/m (Caspers’ estimate)
- Equivalent Q? 23dB difference
- Resonant cavity ~ 5000
- TW pickup ~ 30
- Comparative Design Study is essential – reference Goldberg’s RHIC study
- Clear estimates of what can be measured day one with TW pickup
- Follow on Resonant cavity? This should be evaluated in design study
- Essential to have pickups in place, and DSA DAQ at the least

- NAPA Schottky

## Advocates are essential 

- Need two types (at least in RHIC environment)
- Instrumentation Specialist
- Accelerator Physicist
- Both need to be on board early, and need to have Schottky as a high priority thru development and commissioning

- NAPA Schottky

**Research: **Understanding the dynamic processes that form fractals and fractal-like trees remains a key open problem in physical phenomena as diverse as dielectric breakdown, viscous fingering, fracturing, river formation and in biological phenomena like branching in plants, fungi, and blood vessels. There are two major difficulties posed by studying the dynamics of fractals by experiment: 1) time scales are either too fast (a bolt of lightning is an example of dielectric breakdown) or too slow (as in river formation) and  2) control of experimental parameters are often out of the researchers’ hands. We use graph theoretical models to predict the growth of fractal transportation networks.

## NASA 2007 Electronics Packaging Roadmap

**Plans:**
- Secure updated industry roadmaps
- Solicit NASA-wide packaging needs
- Identify NASA-wide operating environments
- Draft 2007 roadmap
- Distribute draft for comments
- Incorporate comments and finalize roadmap
- Release 2007 Roadmap for 2008 proposals

**Schedule/Costs:**

**Lead Center/PI: ****JPL/Zulueta****  **

**Deliverable:**

**Description:**
- The packaging of electronics has become the limiting element in system cost and performance. This is a universal phenomenon that crosses commercial and high-reliability sectors. The main factor that distinguishes high-reliability sectors from commercial sectors is the environment in which the product must perform. Reliable performance is required in automobiles, heavy-duty trucks, satellites, missiles, gun mounts, oil rigs, etc. Many of the attributes, such as cost, density, and components, overlap into the other sectors. High reliability military and aerospace products are typically in the upper cost, high reliability, high density and low volume categories. However, high reliability electronics are only a small portion of the electronics industry in relationship to computers, communications, and consumer electronics. The challenge for the high reliability sector is to adapt other sectors’ technologies to meet the extreme temperature, environmental and reliability requirements cost- effectively. This task will produce a NASA-wide electronics packaging roadmap that will utilize industry roadmaps and with inputs from the NASA community, develop a 5-year roadmap for NASA usage. It will include a framework for future packaging test and evaluations, guidelines for insertion into project usage and qualification/risk-reduction matrices.

## Laminar Soot Processes:  Explaining The Paradigm

**Laminar Soot Processes:  Explaining The Paradigm**

**Buoyancy limits the similarities between laminar and turbulent flames:**
**With buoyancy, soot initially convects into regions of increasing fuel richness.**
**Also, soot accelerates continuously with uncontrollable residence time.**

**Microgravity laminar flames are more representative of turbulent flames:**
**Soot moves through monotonically decreasing fuel richness.**
**Soot residence times can be varied.**

**Objective:  Universal relationship between soot volume fraction and ‘known’ variables (local mixture fraction & temperature)**

## Laminar Soot Processes:  Soot Volume Fraction

- SVF via Imaging Method

- Deconvolved Image Data

## Laminar Soot Processes:  To Establish The Universal Relationship

**Objective:  Universal relationship between soot volume fraction and ‘known’ variables (local mixture fraction & temperature)**

- 2-wavelength pyrometry (650, 850 nm) for soot temperature

- Soot Volume Fraction

- Soot Sample for ParticleSize

## Experiments with a Canadian Version of the Extreme Forecast Index

- Laurie Wilson and Syd Peel
- MSC

## Outline

- EFI – What is it?
- Experiments with distribution- fitting methods
- Precipitation
- Case Example – Halifax Snowstorm, Feb 19, 2004
- Future steps

## EFI – What is it?

- An “alert” to forecasters indicating situations where the ensemble distribution is significantly different from the MODEL’s climatology
- Summarized over the eps distribution
- Range -1 to +1; 0 = normal
- Reference: Lalaurette, F., 2003: Early detection of abnormal weather conditions using a probabilistic extreme forecast index, QJRMS, **129**, 3037-3057.
- Equation:

*q**c**(p)=p**th** quantile from EPS climate*

## EFI – Our Experiment

- 24 h precipitation amount only so far
- 2 years of model climatology
- Evaluated for n=2 and 3 mainly
- Gridded outputs
- Distribution-fitting experiments for both climatology and forecast
- Different evaluation for each projection
- Climatology valuable in its own right for comparison against observations

## Distribution-Fitting experiments

- Needed for small ensembles; if large enough, could use empirical
- Useful for purposes other than EFI
- Model validation
- Probability of extreme events.
- Tried several methods:
- Gamma fit
- Gamma kernel
- Gaussian kernel
- Optimization of Gamma bandwidth
- Combination of the above

## Density Estimation methods

- Gamma fit to whole ensemble
- Gamma Kernel
- Likelihood cross-validation to optimize kernel bandwidth
- Gaussian kernel density using formula for bandwidth
- Geometric mean of 3 and 4

## Case Study – Halifax Snowstorm

- Observed: 88.3 cm snow in 24 h, February 19
- Storm total 95 cm at Halifax, largest on record (73 previous record)
- EFI for this case, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 day before the event

## T-7 days

- 7 DAYS ahead: Index at Halifax: **0.29**

## T-5 days

- 5 DAYS ahead: Index at Halifax: **0.30**

## T-3 days

- 3 DAYS ahead: Index at Halifax: **0.56**

## T-2 days

- 2 DAYS ahead: Index at Halifax: **0.88**

## T-1 day

- 1 DAY ahead: Index at Halifax: **0.97**

## Next Steps

- Calibrate index for different locations
- Determine thresholds for extreme weather
- Compare model climatology vs actual climatology
- Calibrate against actual climatology
- Implement as a diagnostic tool

## Track Fit Algorithm Status

- Wendy Taylor
- STT Meeting
- Fermilab
- January 19, 2001

## Matrix Lookup Table Algorithm

- 3 parameters (pi)
- 2 CFT hits + 4(3) SMT hits (rj, j)
- Use 160  slices (SuperRoads) where rjrlayer to limit number of matrices Mij

## Matrix Lookup Table Status

- Floating point version exists for 3x6 matrix (nb: doubles overflow memory)
- Consists of 12 LUTs (one for each TFC, necessary to minimize LUT size)
- Small LUT converts H/global Road ID into TFC ID and local Road ID (ignores overlap)

## MInv LUT To Do List

- Convert to 3x5 matrix (for rotated  vectors, cuts LUT size in half)
- Create integer version
- Pack 2 16-bit elements into 32-bit word (cuts LUT size in half)

## CFT/SMT Coordinate LUTs

- Integer quantities now available
- Store  range per TFC (precision, small LUT provides reference  per TFC)
- SMT LUT stores residual radius (precision, small LUT yields reference radius per layer)

## Integer Fit Algorithm Status

- Double matrix computed from double coordinates, scaled to integer
- Hit selection, track fit and 2 calculation performed with 16-bit integers
- Worst SMT hit is dropped and track is refit with 3 remaining SMT hits
- Track parameters and 2 agree well with 3xN result

## Integer Fit Algorithm Tasks

- Use matrix lookup table (integer form)
- Convert divisions (scaling) to bit-shifts and decide how to compute 2/dof
- Output integer quantities (i.e., plots and correct output record format)
- Compare all results to 3xN algorithm
- Clean up C++ code for easy maintenance
- Convert to C for DSP
