## RHESSI and SOHO/CDS Observations of Chromospheric Evaporation in Solar Flares

- Ryan Milligan
- QUB/NASA-GSFC
- Peter Gallagher
- UCD/L3/NASA-GSFC

## Chromospheric Evaporation

- Electrons are accelerated during impulsive phase of solar flare
- These non-thermal electrons supply the necessary energy to **heat** the chromosphere and hence cause **flows**
- Enonthermal = Ethermal + Ekinetic

## Gentle
Chromosphere heated directly by non-thermal electrons
Velocities < 300 km/s
Flux < 1010-10.5 ergs cm-2 s-1

- Chromosphere heated directly by non-thermal electrons
- Velocities < 300 km/s
- Flux < 1010-10.5 ergs cm-2 s-1

- Explosive
- Chromosphere unable to radiate energy deposited by non-thermal electrons
- Velocities > 400 km/s
- Flux > 1010-10.5 ergs cm-2 s-1

***v*****/2.35c****s**

**Log *****F***** (ergs cm****-2** **s****-1****)**

- Theory (Fisher et al.1984)

## Purpose of this study...

- To search for signatures of chromospheric evaporation in a solar flare using simultaneous X-ray and EUV observations
- To investigate the relationship between the flux of non-thermal electrons (RHESSI) and the response of the solar atmosphere (CDS)

## M2.2 Flare – CDS/EIT/GOES

## Impulsive Phase – CDS/EIT/RHESSI

**6 - 12 keV (dashed line)**
**Thermal**

**25 – 50 keV (solid line)**
**Non-thermal**

**Region over which CDS spectra were taken (white box)**

## RHESSI Lightcurve

## RHESSI Spectrum

- T ~ 18 MK
- EM ~ 1049 cm-3

- γ = 7.3
- E0 = 21 keV

- Power in non-thermal electrons/HXR source size → electron flux  = 21010 ergs cm-2 s-1

## Evidence for Upflows

- Doppler shifts measured relative to a stationary component
- Fe XIX →
*v *= 260 km/s

## Flow velocity vs. Temperature

- Downflows

- Upflows

## Observation vs. Theory

- M2.2 flare

**Log F (ergs cm****-2** **s****-1****)**

***v*****/2.35c****s**

## Summary and Future Work

- First simultaneous observation of chromospheric evaporation using RHESSI and SOHO/CDS
- Non-thermal electron flux = 2x1010 ergs cm-2 s-1
- Upflows in Fe XIX = 260 km s-1
- Downflows in He I, O V < 30 km s-1
- Extend this study to a large sample of flares

- Airport Operators, large and small alike, should control costs.
- Airlines should concede that some airport costs reduce airline operating costs.

## The Cost-Conscious Airport

- Must someday abandon average cost (residual) pricing for airfields.
- The Concept of Benefit Sharing
- Pool the Upside

## The Collaborative Airport

- What about the other side of the city pair?
- BWI — LHR
- BWI — DUB
- BWI — SEA
- BWI — ???

## The Collaborative Airport

- TAG TEAM®
- Approach target airport first
- Pool resources:
- Consultants
- Contacts
- Data
- Joint presentation to target carriers

## The Collaborative Airport

- Leverage all public and private resources:
- Economic Development Agencies
- Convention & Visitors Bureaus
- Other Public/Private Entities

## The Collaborative Airport

## The Contrary Approach

- Prepare for the Flip Side
- Planned Shrinkage
- Hub/Spoke Deconstruction
- Consolidation
- Changing Market Dynamics

## The Contrary Approach

- Scheduled Passenger Carriers:
- In 1978:		  41
- Since 1978:		327
- Remaining:
- In 1978:		  13
- Since 1978:		  76

## The Contrary Approach

## The Contrary Approach

- Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 Planning
- Should not come as a surprise!
- All airport departments (and beyond) are affected:
- Customer Service
- Media
- Operations and Security
- Finance/Business
- Legal

## Time-tested Strategic Innovations

- Know your _C_omparative advantages
- Always be _C_ost-conscious
- Seek and exploit _C_ollaboration
- Keep the _C_ontrary in mind, too

- Internet based model for video conferencing focusing on *group to group* interactions across the grid using various resources
- Multimedia displays
- Presentation and Interactive environment
- Text Chat
- Used for large-scale distributed meetings, collaborative work sessions, seminars, lectures, tutorials and trainings

## A Node at Argonne National Lab

## Jabber 

- Set of streaming XML protocols (XMPP – Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) and technologies that enable any two entities on the Internet to exchange messages, presence, and other structured information in close to real time.
- Instant Messaging (IM) that offers functionality similar to legacy IM services such as Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AOL.

## Advantages of Jabber

- Open
- Decentralized
- Secure
- Extensible
- Flexible

- Snap shot of Venue Client

- Jabber in Access Grid

## Jabber in Access Grid

- Venue Client is used to connect and participate in an Access Grid virtual venue
- AG text client in a Venue Client is used to communicate between users across AG nodes, but not able to communicate with other non-AG users.
- Replaced AG text client with jabber chat client and connecting to our DSD Jabber Server
- Users can use their existing jabber id and password or register one in DSD jabber server using AG User profile dialog

## User Profile Dialog

## Continuation...

- All Users in AG, enter into the jabber chat when they start the Venue Client.
- For each Venue, a chat room is created in the jabber server for group interactions
- Users join various chat rooms corresponding to the venue they are in the AG

## Chat between users from two different clients

## Why Jabber in AG?

- Non-AG Users able to communicate with other AG users and get involved in the discussion using other jabber clients like Gaim, Exodus, etc.
- Jabber is secure. Any server can be isolated from the public jabber server and robust security using SASL and TLS has been built into the core XMPP technologies.
- User in a jabber server can interact with another user in different Jabber server

## Future Work

- Inviting the non-AG users from Venue Client directly
- Sending graphics messages (smiley)
- Transferring the files to non-AG users
- ...
- ...

## Idealized Frontogenesis

- - Nonlinear evolution of mid-latitude disturbances in the FISL_Hyd3d model
- Mid-latitude -plane channel. Zonally uniform geostrophically balanced basic state and small-amplitude random perturbations - initial condition. Idealized Newtonian heating and low-level friction.
- Model top at 1 hPa, 41 layers; horizontal grid size 100km (nx=40, ny=100).
- FISL time step 20 min, no uncentering.

**Notes:**
Layers are of unifom thickness in sigma.

## Initial condition

## Surface pressure (solid) and potential temperature (dashed) at ~ 988 hPa

**Surface pressure (solid) and potential temperature (dashed) at ~ 988 hPa**

**Notes:**
Early stages of development (days 6 and 8) show two unstable waves with wavelengths of approximately 1000 km and 4000 km. However, starting at day 12, a single domain-size long wave dominates. Frontal zones develop at the surface and the upper troposphere. 

## Geopotential height (solid) and potential temperature (dashed) ~ 500hPa

**Geopotential height (solid) and potential temperature (dashed) ~ 500hPa**

**Notes:**
Well-defined fronts develop at the surface and upper troposphere; the disturbance continues to grow and the low pressure center deepens until day 16. Both low and high pressure maxima begin to weaken after day 16.

## Web 2.0

- “The Web as it should be.”

## Contested Grounds

- No consistent definition
- Web 3.0 or, even, 8.0
- Trademarked idea
- A business model

## What was Web 1.0?

- Static web pages
- Rarely updated
- Written solely in HTML
- Hierarchical organization of producer/user

- Some say that USENET was Web 1.0
- Which could mean that Gopher was Web 2.0 and the Lynx browser was a Web 3.0 technology

## Dealing with the contradiction

- Web 1.5	Amazon.com

## So, what is it?* 

- The Web as a platform
- Network effects created by participation: users add value
- Beta forever: users are co-developers
- Leveraging the “Long Tail”
- *I’ve chosen some general attributes that will be of interest to librarians. For more attributes see Tim O’Reilly’s article, “What is Web 2.0?” http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

## Is it anything else?

- Generally: marked by interactivity, social networks, and treating users well
- The web working as it should:“Web 2.0 means using the web the way it's meant to be used. The "trends" we're seeing now are simply the inherent nature of the web emerging from under the broken models that got imposed on it during the Bubble.”--Paul Graham, “Web 2.0” http://www.paulgraham.com/web20.html

## Web 2.0 “technologies”

- Ask Maps (_http://maps.ask.com_)
- Del.icio.us
- Google spreadsheet
- Writely
- Wikipedia
- Flickr

- AJAX
- The web as platform
- RSS
- Syndication of content
- Wikis
- Blogs
- Podcasts
- Folksonomies
- tagging

## The Web as Platform

## Network effects

## Beta Forever!

## The Long-Tail

## Implications for libraries

- New ways to make information available
- Users will expect that libraries will make use of these new venues of information distribution
- New “battlefronts” in regard to collection of materials and, well, lots of other things, too

## More implications

- New integrated library systems that work like the web with comments, rss feeds, tagging, and relevance ranking?
- Collection development with an eye to the longtail?
- Constant rolling out of new services to be tested, accepted, or rejected by users?

## Blogs

- A frequently updated website, usually organized in reverse chronological order
- Often accompanied by an RSS feed, allowing the content to be disseminated easily and quickly

## The Krafty Librarian

## GMR Blog

## SiteLines

## Strengths of Blogs

- Ability to interact with others via comments
- Possibility of numerous authors
- Available for syndication
- Not static

## How a blog  may benefit a library

- Destination for library and community news
- Responsive to client feedback
- More staff may be involved with the website
- Can include clients in the discussion

## How librarians may use blogs

- Keep up to date, particularly with technology
- Share functional expertise

## Range of Variation(under historic disturbance regimes) 

- FSH 1901.12
- Chapter 40, Science and Sustainability

## Key Points

- Provides context for evaluating current and desired conditions (DC).
- Doesn’t have to be used to describe DC
- Would not be feasible given climatic, cultural, ecological changes.

## Steps/Components1. Determine reference period

- Climatic period associated with establishment of modern major veg types-climatic and ecological stability (prior to Euro-Am.-includes indigenous settlement) before rates of change increased dramatically (due to Euro-Am).
- Incorporate disturbance return intervals.
- Focus on period where you have the most data.

## 2. Provide estimates of the range of variation of selected characteristics

- Estimate the distribution of selected ecosystem characteristics (e.g., disturbance freq and severities, veg composition, structure) over a selected reference period.
- Several approaches: simulation models, historic records (narrow time frame), reference areas-National Parks, wilderness areas, (RNA’s).
- Consider effects of American Indians on disturbance regimes (e.g., Plains grasslands maintained by frequent burning).

## Slide 5

## 3. Characterize Range of Variation of Disturbance Regimes

- Appropriate scale may be ecoregional and subregional (down to section).
- General descriptions already exist at these scales- working approximations.
- Some fine scale disturbances – burrowing animals.

## Screening

- Screening for COD seeks to answer a “yes” or “no” question:
- Does the substance abuse client being screened show signs of a possible mental health problem?
- OR
- Does the mental health client being screened show signs of a possible substance abuse problem?

## With your partner, take turns administering whichever instrument is least familiar: 

Mental Health Screening Form-III (p. 500)

Simple Screening Instrument for Substance Abuse (p. 506)

You have 10 minutes total!

- Mental Health Screening Form-III (p. 500)
- Simple Screening Instrument for Substance Abuse (p. 506)
*You have 10 minutes total!*

**TIP Exercise— ****Screening Instruments**

***Option 1:***** *****Behavioral Rehearsal & Discussion***

## TIP Exercise— Screening Instruments

***Option 2:***** *****Review & Discussion***

*Review instruments* *in:*
- Appendix H (p. 497) and Appendix G (p. 487).
*Discuss with your partner:*
- Which instruments have you used?
- What, in your experience, are advantages and disadvantages of each?
- Which would you recommend? Why?
*You have 10 minutes!*

## Screening Protocol

- A professionally designed screening process or protocol establishes *precisely . . .*
- How any screening tools or questions are scored
- What constitutes scoring positive for a particular possible problem (“establishing cut-off scores”)
- What happens if a client scores in the positive range
- and provides the standard forms to document
- Results of all later assessments
- That each staff member has carried out his or her responsibilities in the process

## Screening+Assessment  Tx Plan

- Screening is a process for evaluating the possible presence of a particular problem.
- Assessment is a process for defining the nature of that problem and developing specific treatment recommendations for addressing the problem.
- A comprehensive assessment serves as the basis for an *individualized *treatment plan. The treatment plan must be matched to individual needs.

## Step 1: Engage the Client

- “No wrong door”
- Empathic detachment
- Person-centered assessment
- Sensitivity to culture, gender, and sexual orientation
- Trauma sensitivity
