## Outline

- IWRAP
- Description and measurement technique
- Scatterometry Geophysical Model Functions (GMFs)
- Methodology
- Dual-band (C and Ku), dual-polarized (H and V) GMFs from IWRAP measurements

## IWRAP Measurement Technique

** ****Reflectivity and Doppler profiles – four beams, two frequencies      (C and Ku), two polarizations (H and V) –** *simultaneously***.**
** ****High-resolution surface and volume backscatter**

## IWRAP Designed to Investigate...

- Hurricane Katrina, August 28 th, 2005

## Summary of datasets

*Flown during 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Hurricane seasons, and the 2003 and 2005 Winter Storm experiments:*
-        70 missions, including flights through hurricanes *Gustav*, *Isidore,* and *Lili *(2002), Fabian and Isabel (2003), Frances and Ivan (2004), Ophelia and Rita (2005), as well as several TDs, TSs and extra-tropical storms.
- Collected measurements of ocean surface winds up to 72 m/s and rain rates over 100 mm/hr, and boundary layer winds in excess of 100 m/s.
- Several flights coincident with WindSAT and QuikSCAT passes.
- Hundreds of GPS drop-sondes deployed.
- Collocated radiometer (SFMR) brightness temperatures measurements providing surface wind speed and precipitation estimates.

## Work performed

- Obtained **dual-polarized (H and V) C-** and **Ku-band** **model functions** of ocean backscatter versus wind speed and direction:
- Wind speed > 25 m/s in rain-free conditions.
- C-band H polarization (full range).
- Compared against other models (CMOD4/5, NSCAT2, QSCAT1, etc.):
- Shown a decreased sensitivity at high-winds.
- Developed the model for the QuikSCAT incidence angles.
- Implemented in a parallel NOAA/NESDIS/ORA NRT QuikSCAT 25-km and 12.5-km processor.

## High Winds Ku-band Model Function

## High Winds C-band Model Function

## Full-range C-band H pol. models

## A2/A0 versus wind speed

**C-band VV**

**C-band HH**

**Ku-band VV**

**Ku-band HH**

## C-band NRCS Azimuthal response

**C-**band NRCS Azimuthal response

**VV****50 deg**

**HH****49 deg**

## Ku-band NRCS Azimuthal Response

**Ku**-band NRCS Azimuthal Response

**VV****48 deg**

**HH****48 deg**

## Conclusions

- C- and Ku-band mean ocean backscatter measurements show a ***decreased sensitivity ***for wind speeds above ~45 m/s.
- H-pol behaves similarly to V-pol for both C- and Ku-band at high wind speeds, but...
- C-band H-pol at high incidence angles shows a much higher saturation point (not reached at 65 m/s).
- C- and Ku-band A2/A0 measurements decrease to < 0.1 thus supporting the observed decreased sensitivity in ***wind direction*** as well.
- Best bet to retrieve high winds (> 50 m/s) from scatterometry is C-band H-pol at high incidence angles.

## EdlBuild – generating edl files 

- Epics Collaboration Meeting, Slac
-  28-Apr-2005

**EdlBuild – generating edl files **

## Why do we need it?

**Why do **_**we**_** need it?**

- remember yesterday’s presentation
- For those who fell asleep
- We build 1700 device faceplates
- Every time an interlock specification changes, we rebuild
- Use edd/dm now, prepare for converting to edm
- Need solution for edm !!

## Solution: EdlBuild	

**Perl module library**
**syntax like Perl/Tk**
**allows configuration of any widget property**
**configure site-specific “look and feel”**
**extensible**

## EdlBuild example

## EdlBuild Internals

**Perl module Edl.pm**
**Includes **
**all widget modules**
**site-configuration modules**
**Contains **
**code for the Edl object (“screen”, “canvas”)**
**one creation functon per widget**
**code common to all widgets**
**One Perl Module Edl....pm per widget**
**Contains **
**name/value template**
**new()**
**configure()**

## Site-specific look and feel

- Configure name/value templates in the widget modules
- flexible
- minimise # of parameters in widget calls
- tedious
- module EdlDefaults.pm
- variables for
- common colours i.e. fg, fb, on, off, incons, topShadow, botShadow
- default font
- widget versions

## Site specific extensions

- If you have your own widgets
- Create a perl module per widget:
- Copy an existing Edl....pm module
- use EDMGENDOC to create the name/value template and copy into Edl..pm module
- run ConvertEdlTemplate.pl
- module EdlSiteUse.pm
- includes site-specific Perl modules
- module EdlSiteWidgets.pm
- defines creation functions for site-specific widgets

## State of things (April 2005)

- EdlBuild
- Beta >> release candidate
- all edm 1.10.1 widgets are supported
- gif, png not tested
- TRIUMF edd/dm >> edm
- all 1700 TRIUMF panels generated
- made TRIUMF version of badlfish
- converted all existing TRIUMF dm screens
- created a “parallel universe” for operators to play and try
- need macro expansion for colour rules in edm for interactive screen development
- Need ability to dump XY-plot data to ascii file

- Definitely:
- No enzymatic tests that rely on their biochemistry being the same as ours.
- Don’t assume their chromophores will be the same as ours i.e.,  Chlorophyll

## Keeping an open mind

- On the other hand, we don’t want to miss life because its basic components are different from ours.
- Would we get a detection if they used different bases, different sugars, and had the opposite chirality of amino acids?

## Mars AU

- BY: Rachael, Samantha, and Jesseca

## INTRODUCTION

**The planet that our group chose was Mars.**
**Currently 1 AU = 149,597,890km**
**149,597,890km is approximately the distance from Earth to the Sun**
**227,936,640km is approximately the distance from Mars to the Sun.**
**Our Question: Would Mar’s Distance from the Sun make a better AU?**

## Explanation 

- Explanation

**STEPS:**
**Took the distance from Mars to the Sun (227,936,640 km) and made that our new AU**
**Then, divided the new AU by the other planet’s distances to the Sun**
**After, we compared our facts and then came to our conclusion**

## Earths Au VS. Mars Au

| Planets | Earth’s Au | Mars’ Au |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mercury | 0.4 | 0.3  |
| Venus | 0.7 | 0.5 |
| Earth | 1.0 | 0.7 |
| Mars | 1.5 | 1.0 |
| Jupiter | 5.2 | 3.4 |
| Saturn | 9.5 | 6.3 |
| Uranus | 19.1 | 12.6 |
| Neptune | 29.9 | 19.7 |
| Pluto | 39.2 | 26 |

## Explanation of Chart

**Compares the Earth’s AU to Mars’ AU**
**Helps us decide whether or not Mars would be a good scale for the AU**
**Helps organize our facts**

## ADVANTAGES

- If someone was to draw the Solar System to scale it would be easier to draw.
- It would be easier to mathematically work with the AU
- Both, because the numbers are smaller

## DISADVANTAGES

- All traces of AUs would have to be rewritten.
- Since we live on Earth it is easier to base scales to the Earth’s distance from the Sun

## CONCLUSION

- Overall, we didn’t agree on one answer.
- One of the group members concluded that Mars would make a better AU scale because the numbers are smaller
- The two others concluded that Mars would not make a better AU scale because it is not as familiar as Earth

## Air Transportation Problems

- By:
- Mercedes ,Marquetta, Miguel,Victor.

## What Cause’s flight delays?	

-   One of the reason that there are so many flight delays at the airport is that there are too many people trying to fly.
-    Some time it is because of the weather, and in some cases planes cannot fly causing delays.
-   To much traffic at the airport’s.

## What does the Air traffic controller do?

- They help planes fly safely through the sky.
- They help by telling the pilots where to go.
- They tell the pilots if there is any trouble ahead.
- They watch the radar for weather updates.

## How many airplanes are used in the U.S.?

**90% of the airplanes are flown through the 64 major airports in the U.S.**
**5,300,036  people use airplanes in the U.S. airports everyday.**
**Half of the airports in the U.S are used everyday.**

## SOLUTIONS

**We think that in order for the airports not to have flight delays; we need to get more airplanes or have more airplanes with more room. So in order to not have as many airplanes in the air at one time; there needs to be at least one day out of the week they do not fly planes.**

## American Health Information Community

**Consumer Empowerment Workgroup**
**Disability Recommendations Update**
**Tom Horam **
**May 15, 2008**

## Persons with Disabilities 

**	**_**Recommendation 1.1:**_** **HHS should coordinate activity to ensure that PHRs sponsored by the federal government are consistent with statutes and regulations, including accessibility standards in accordance with Section 503 (29 U.S.C. § 793), 504 (29 U.S.C. §794) and 508 (29 U.S.C. §794d) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Pub. L. 93-112).

## Persons with Disabilities (cont.)

_**Recommendation 1.2:**_ **As HHS develops a use case with attendant interoperability standards specific to the needs of persons with disabilities, this use case should include the following:**
**Provision for coordinated care across multiple health care encounters, providers, and caregivers.**
**Access to and assimilation of information currently existing in paper format.**
**The ability of authorized care and service providers, including the Social Security Administration (SSA) and other public and private entities that have purview over disability compensation, to utilize electronic authentication and electronic transmittal to obtain relevant information from the PHR on behalf of the authorizing consumer or surrogate, in accordance with the authorizing parties restrictions on what data can be seen or accessed from the PHR. **
**Functional assessment for use by persons with disabilities in subsequent disability record development.**

## Persons with Disabilities (cont.)

**	**_**Recommendation 1.3:**_ **As PHRs are certified, HHS should coordinate efforts to ensure that relevant electronic health information in these PHRs is interoperable with that in CCHIT certified Electronic Health Records.**

## Persons with Disabilities (cont.)

**	**_**Recommendation 1.4:**_ **Any PHR offered directly or sponsored by HHS should be developed to accommodate technological applications that can be used by persons with disabilities, and can address accessibility issues that include differences in language, the broad range of racial and cultural diversity, and differences in family and community practice.**

- L = gF B B

- B

- , F

- 

- Causes atoms to precess
- at Larmor frequency:

## Use light resonant with atomic transition

- to probe the angular momentum of atoms:

- Polarization of light is related to
- photons’ angular momentum distribution.

- Angular momentum can be transferred
- between light and atoms.

## Average angular momentum of room temperature sample

- of atoms averages to zero.

- Exchange of angular momentum of light with atoms does
- not change light polarization...

- light

## However, optical pumping transfers photon angular momentum

- to atoms: angular momentum of atoms becomes nonrandom.

## Magnetic field creates torque on atomic spins,

- changes angular momentum distribution.

- Magnetic field

- Exchange of angular momentum from atoms to light
- changes light polarization!

## Light polarization oscillates at Larmor frequency:

- When light/atom interaction is modulated synchronously
- with Larmor precession, we observe a resonance in the
- amplitude of light polarization rotation.

## Converting Applications to R3.14

- June 2003,
- _[Kasemir@lanl.gov](mailto:Kasemir@lanl.gov)_

## Basis for this talk

- ChannelArchiver
- Actually did the conversion to R3.14.1
- EDM
- Did 1%, remaining 99% John Sinclair
- EtherIP (Allen Bradley Control Logix PLC driver)
- Observed Stephanie Allison’s work al distante,she will report details in her own presentation

## Available Information

- Application Developers Guide
- R3.14.1 includes ‘makeBaseApp’ layout and makefile details
- EPICS base/documentation:
- BuildingR3.13AppsWithR3.14.html
- BuildingR3.13ExtensionsWithR3.14.html
- ConvertingR3.13AppsToR3.14.html

## Make System Changes

- Now supports RTEMS, Win32, Unix IOC applications
- Most obvious changes:
- config  configure
- {Makefile, Makefile.Host, Makefile.Vx}  Makefile
- HOST_ARCH  EPICS_HOST_ARCH,‘Linux’  ‘linux-x86’, ‘WIN32’  ‘win32-x86’
- Target architectures ‘ppc603’  ‘vxWorks-ppc603’
- PROD  PROD_HOST, PROD_IOC
- Usage:
- EDM & ChannelArchiver still on old make system
- EtherIP: Both old and new based on              ifdef EPICS_HOST_ARCH in main Makefile

## Channel Access Changes

- Old API works as before
- New:
- ca_task_initialize  ca_context_create(multithreaded_or_not?),ca_task_exit         ca_context_destroy
- ca_current_context, ca_attach_contextto allow usage across threads
- File descriptor manager, ca_pend_io/ca_poll/... fully multithreaded
- Support for big arrays
- Usage:
- EDM: old API
- ChannelArchiver:New API, from two thread (disk writes, rest)to many (main, disk writes, CA, HTTPD, one per HTTP client)

## Time Stamp Changes

- TS_STAMP  epicsTimeStamp
- TS_STAMP still available
- osiTime  epicsTime
- Conversions to/from anything except double,no access to seconds/nanosec/epoch info
- osiTimer  epicsTimer
- Different API
- Usage:
- ChannelArchiver required rewrite of every time-stamp related piece of code

## Portability Layer Changes

- epicsThread, epicsMutex, epicsEvent, epicsSignal, epicsTime, ...
- New OS independent wrappers for threads, semaphores, ....
- EDM: has its own portability layer
- EtherIP: uses epicsXXX routines if under R3.14
- ChannelArchiver:Replaced custom portability layer with epicsXXX classes

## Channel Archiver Statistics (not necessarily useful)

- Time for R3.14 conversion:two weeks @ about 1⁄2 time
- Code size
- Before conversion:	23368 lines
- After conversion:		22995 line
- Multithreading added lines,usage of epicsXXX removed lines,altogether 1.5% less code
- Comparison including test code for old custom OS wrappers vs. new test code for understanding epicsXXX classes
- 0.5% more lines

## Results, Comments

- EDM works on Unix as before, compatible with R3.13
- Channel Archiver works on Linux & Win32 as before, maybe Solaris, no longer with R3.13
- EtherIP now works on Linux, Win32, Solaris, vxWorks, RTEMS, and still with R3.13 (vx only)
- R3.14 OS wrappers great for code that didn’t use anything similar before,hope that they stay more stable than previous attempts (osiTime, osiTimer)

- Landing Site Thermal Minima
- for Rover Lifetime Concerns

- Nathan T. Bridges and Terry Z. Martin
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory

*Significant acknowledgments to *
*M. Adler, P. Christensen, J. Murphy, and  S. Pelkey*

## Effect of Low Night Temperatures

- Rovers use battery power to maintain internal thermal state at night
- Batteries are recharged by solar energy
- Cold nighttime conditions can drain batteries to the extent daytime operations must be constrained
- Total solar input is limited, and thus lifetime of rovers can be limited by nighttime ambient conditions
- Coldest minima occur at the end of the nominal mission

## 1-m Air Temperatures

- Worst case cold conditions occur predawn
- Surface thermal inertia is the strongest influence
- TES, THEMIS measure predawn surface temperatures that are most sensitive to thermal inertia variation
- Other relevant parameters:
- Dust optical depth (clear implies cold)
- Latitude
- Ls
- Albedo
- Elevation (surface pressure)

## Process

- Albedo and inertia maps supplied by TES team
- Run 1-D model developed by J. Murphy (NMSU) to treat Viking and Pathfinder near-surface air measurements
- Model outputs surface and air temps as function of time of day, opacity, latitude, Ls, albedo, inertia
- Produce A/I plot for each landing site
- Minimum air temp can be expressed as contours in A/I space for a given opacity and Ls
- Map the points falling below -97 C
- Produce histograms using ellipse probability density distribution

## Typical Near-surface Thermal Behavior

- Minimum

- TES

- THEMIS

## Thermal Contours in Albedo/Inertia Space

## Isidis Site Minimum TemperaturesProbability of being < -97°C = 0%

## Gusev Site Minimum TemperaturesProbability of being < -97°C = 3%

## Elysium Site Minimum TemperaturesProbability of being < -97°C = 7%

## Hematite Site Minimum TemperaturesProbability of being < -97°C = 8%

## Thoughts

- Ponding of cold air in topographic lows under still conditions could enhance nighttime minima; airbags may roll into such lows
- Wind-induced mixing of warmer air from higher altitudes would help; mesoscale models may shed light on such nighttime winds; but Hematite shows little drainage wind
- Winds would also act to mix air from varying A/I domains, making high-resolution THEMIS data less relevant

## Conclusions

- Some regions within the Hematite, Elysium, and Gusev ellipses will produce lifetime-limiting cold night temperatures, but the probability of landing in these regions is < 10%
- However, small spatial-scale thermal variation could be a factor.  We are currently examining Themis nighttime IR data.
- Mesoscale model results should be explored to corroborate these findings
