## SEM403 Study of Orbit Separation

- Last study of this sort was performed May 2001
- Two weeks ago comment was made that separation of injection orbit from closed orbit was 30mm at SEM403 _***and***_ ISEP.
- Look at models, do the experiment and look at modified Debuncher Injection Septum

## Closed Orbit

- Injection Orbit

- Debuncher scraper IN
- No circulating beam

- A few mysteries:
- -Missing wire data in Hor.
- -Beam emittance much
-  smaller than admittance

## Summary

- Westward shift of the ENSO-related equatorial Pacific SST anomaly in CM2 is accompanied by corresponding spatial displacements in tropical precipitation signals and extratropical wavetrains.
- SST climatology in CM2 is too warm in the near-equatorial Indian and western Pacific. This discrepancy has local impacts on the mean precipitation and the mean circulation patterns.
- The effects of CM2-simulated ENSO events on the Asian-Australian monsoon system are in general agreement with observations.
- Overall performance of CM2.0 and CM2.1 in extratropical and tropical teleconnections is comparable.

## Provocative Points

- Z39.50 and ZIG more accessible
- Standard difficult to understand and alien to internet developers used to RFC type descriptions
- Lack of tools
- ZIG seems difficult to approach/work with
- ZIG seems library oriented not IR oriented

## Provocative Points

- Z39.50-2005 as a protocol template
- Communities have their pet protocol layers (CORBA, RPC, SOAP, XML/HTTP, ASN1/BER etc.)
- Far easier to gateway between these if the information “packets” are semantically similar
- Lever Z39.50 as a “transport” specification; protocol a profiling issue

## Provocative Points

- ZIG needs to “market” Z39.50 better
- Z39.50 is not heavy weight or difficult but gives that impression
- World is not going to beat a path to the door of the searching/IR “experts”, but will go their own way
- Z39.50 should be a component working alongside other standards
- Z39.50 should be less visible (e.g. web developers rarely know how the http protocol works – however poor Z39.50 implementations display diags to end user!!)
- Z39.50 “failed” to provide solution to interoperable search (flexibility of standard/lack of profiles etc.)

## FUND RAISING STRATEGIES

- Pramuan Siripankeaw,Ph.D.
- GLOBE Thailand,IPST

## Why do we need fund raising?

- Whom should we approach?

- How could we do?

## GLOBE 

- GLOBE

- Is science and education program and it fits to national science education standard.
- The implementation of GLOBE should be financial supported by the government sectors

## But.....

- “ If we provide some opportunities for private sectors to collaborate/contribute/be partnership,
-    It would be benefit for our society and environment.”
-    Therefore fundraising for GLOBE program
-    is the key to GLOBE implementation success.

## Whom should we approach?

- At National Level
- - Government sectors e.g.  MOE,MONRE,MOST, TRF ,NSF, etc.
- Private sectors e.g. public company, vendors, Bank,etc.
- -  NGO/Charity

## International level

- UNESCO
- UNEP
- WWF
- GTZ
- JICA
- etc.

## HOW COULD WE DO?

- STUDY POLICY OF the funding agencies / sponsors AND SELECT THE ONES INVOLVES
-    **- ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS**
**   ****- CAPACITY BUILDING**
**	****- TEACHEAR PROFESSIONAL**** **

- Making appointment  to talk /present about GLOBE to the decision maker of the company director PR./chairman of the company.
- Possibly need personal contact.

## TALK CLEARLY, SHORT AND SIMPLE ABOUT GLOBE AS WELL AS SUMMITING BRIEF PROJECT TO THE SPONSOR

“GLOBE inspire and encourage  young student to learn about the their nature surrounding them and the world to benefit the environment through inquiry approach and collaboration among teachers, scientists and local experts”

- “GLOBE inspire and encourage  young student to learn about the their nature surrounding them and the world to benefit the environment through inquiry approach and collaboration among teachers, scientists and local experts”

- Well prepare for the talk/presentation

## Continue....

- Try to relate GLOBE concept to the sponsor ‘s policy
- State the benefit of GLOBE to the sponsor
- State the benefit of GLOBE to Students and Teachers and the community

## Wait for the response...

- Ready for additional information as requested
- Provide the appropriate/flexible opportunities to sponsor
- Be calm/patient to correspond
- Be honest with sponsor
- etc.

## 100 Minbias - Charged Tracks

**There is the vertex for the “signal” interaction in the crossing. The size of the bunch crossing is ~ 1 cm. The average number of interactions in a crossing is ~ 17. **

## Charged Tracks

**The density of charged tracks is ~ 90/17 ~ 5.3. This level is expected**

## Momentum

**Mean transverse momentum is <PT> = 0.52 GeV.**

## Total Event and Crossing ET

**A single interaction for |y|< 5 has ~ 38 GeV ~ density 5 * dy=10 * 0.5 GeV. A crossing has ~ 17 times more energy. The fluctuations in a single interaction are less than those in a full crossing. Clearly, using only charged energy from a given interaction can reduce the missing ET found in a crossing. The full neutral energy remains, however.**

## Match Tracks and HCAL?

**Find the maximum PT particle within a crossing for charged tracks and for calorimeter clusters. There is only a weak correlation, at best.**

## Tracks and Cal Clusters?

**The correlation of the 2 multiplicities is not strong.**

## Calorimeter Clusters

**The calorimeter population is still sparse as ECAL is 25 times more finely grained than HCAL. There are very few deposits > 1 GeV - recall loopers mean that HB has PT > 1.6 GeV**

## Calorimeter - Tracks

**Enter only calorimeter clusters with HCAL energy only or ECAL energy with matching HCAL. There appears to be no correlation between calorimeter energy and tracker energy. B field sweeping cannot explain this - the y~0 PT ~ 5 GeV track bends < 20% or 4 phi bins.**

## History of EAS 

- Nationally started in 1951 as a system for president during the Cold War
- Conelrad Control of Electronic Radiation
- Most stations would go off the air in an activation
- Replace by EBS in 1963
- EBS able to be used for local & regional
- activations

## History of EAS

- 1997 EBS evolves to EAS
- Major advancements: digital information,  Got it on the air with no human intervention, digital addressing by area
- State plan tested once a month

## Alaska’s EAS today

- 22 operational areas
- Only 2 official local plans (Anchorage, Fairbanks)
- Messages generated by ADHS&EM or TWC or their designee
- Satellite relay systems include ARCS, KIMO-TV and APRN

## Problems with today’s system

- Still a daisy chain and not a spoke system
- Text message on TV DOES NOT MATCH audio message with no way to change it
- No funding for training
- The encoder/decoder is poorly designed system
- 63% of 78 broadcast stations had decoders not operating properly

## EAS, Next Generation

- Introduces CAP – Common Alerting Protocol including digital images
- Stations mandated to carry Governor’s activation
- Possible multiple language broadcasts required

## What’s in mean for us	

- A Tsunami activation
- Detail information when, where

## The Local Plans

- Juneau local area plan is a great model
- Puts NWS in partnership with broadcasters for a dependable system
- NOAA Weather Radio is front end
- Next stop Fairbanks?

## Aerosol and Carbon Monoxide Chemical Weather Forecasts

- Collaboration of NASA GSFC Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch and Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO)
- Quick-look forecasts products available at a web site: http://hyperion.gsfc.nasa.gov/People/Colarco/Mission_Support

- Aerosol particles (like dust and smoke) and carbon monoxide are important pollutants in the lower atmosphere and contribute to degraded air quality.  Additionally, aerosol particles scatter and absorb sunlight and infrared radiation and interact with clouds, impacting the Earth radiation budget and complicating the interpretation of satellite observations.
- To support NASA satellite and field missions, the NASA GSFC GEOS-4 model is run with an embedded aerosol and carbon monoxide module.  The model is initialized with GMAO data assimilation products and a “chemical weather” forecast is performed, much as a meteorological forecast is done.  The model has run continuously at NASA GSFC since February 2006, generating two 5-day forecasts per day.
- Above is a snapshot of the global aerosol distribution from the forecasts on March 20, 2006.  Orange colors are dust; Blue is sea salt; Green is smoke and sulfate; Other colors are mixtures, with the color saturation reflecting the amount of each species.
