- “**The best understood feedback mechanism is water vapor **
**feedback, and this is intuitively easy to understand**.”

- “**There is no compelling evidence that water vapor feedback is anything other than positive — although there may be difficulties with upper tropospheric water vapor**.”

- “**Feedback from the redistribution of water vapor remains a **
**substantial source of uncertainty in climate models—much **
**of the current debate has been addressing feedback from **
**the tropical upper troposphere**.”

## Next steps:

- More detailed climatologies
- Comparisons with IceSAT, other correlative
- Correlations with CERES to determine longwave forcing

## Regulation of stratospheric humidity

- Variations in RH* (relative humidity corrected for advection delay and warming) at two levels below and above the tropical tropopause, vs. effective ice diameter.

- Next steps: Verify correlation, identify spatial patterns, determine why particle size is varying

- After Sherwood, A microphysical connection among biomass burning, cumulus clouds, and stratospheric moisture. *Science*, 295, 1272-1275, 2002.

## Aerosol and convection

## Next steps: incorporate IceSAT and aircraft data

- Scatter plots of relationship between thermal cloud top (x-axes), cloud top estimated from MOD06 pressure retrieval (top panel), and MISR stereoscopic cloud top (bottom).  MODIS altitudes are determined using nearby radiosondes. Data comprise three Terra image segments from the Tropical Western Pacific region.

## Summary

- Studies of the UT/tropical tropopause region
- What controls water vapor/clouds in these regions?
- Emphasis on climate feedback processes
- Use combination of measurements, with MODIS playing an important role

## Where is Waldo? Where is NASA ES?

- Gleaned impressions of Earth Sciences communication impact
- Dr. Susanna Priest, University of South Carolina

## Stakeholder perspectives

- Broad range of stakeholders/policy makers
- Government
- Federal policy makers (e.g., Congress, OSTP, etc.)
- Local planners??
- Government scientists, agencies (NOAA, etc.)
- Evaluators (GAO, OMB, etc.)
- Advocacy groups
- Science policy/funding (e.g. AAAS)
- Environmental policy
- Industry??
- Academic scientists
- Are these among the audiences considered?

## Special challenges

- Visibility and “branding”
- National *Aeronautics and Space* Admin
- Earth-*Sun* Systems within NASA Science
- Goddard *Space Flight* Center
- Even “Life on Earth” may not suggest ES
*Much greater media (press) and external web visibility of space missions/programs*
- General complexity of nasa.gov
- Traditional audiences for NASA science vs. other NASA programs
- Problem is likely the same for space science

## General observations

- A lot of information is available, but hard to find, use, *and relate to ES*
- Both access and “branding” issues
- Visibility of ES work likely greater to scientific audiences than to policymakers or public
- Direct collaborations and conferences, papers (social organization/sociology of science)
- NASA material is often geared to educators and students, may miss other stakeholders

## Where is the “science”?

- Scientific results and findings very scarce outside of scientific literature
- Emphasis is on programs (education), people (good human interest), satellite system (engineering)
- Conclusions are not in forms many stakeholders or public can use
- E.g., climate change: need the when, where, what, why, how, not just the who!

## Questions and considerations

- Reconsider stakeholder audiences
- Separate messages, vehicles for each
- Provide information in forms they can use
- Should ES be better “branded”?
- Open question in terms of strategy, politics
- Arguments against as well as for
- AND....

## The key questions!

- Is there a “core message”? (no??)
- Does there need to be?
- Is the message “we are good people doing good work”?
- Is this enough?
*How does ES want to be viewed??*
*What impression is desired?*
*What policy impacts are sought?*

## Presentation to the AHIC Biosurveillance Data Steering Committee

- Farzad Mostashari, MD, MSc
- New York City Department of Health and mental Hygiene

## General Comments

- Minimum data set definition likely to be an ongoing process, elements added as utility demonstrated
- Recognize that steering committee not endorsing any particular architecture/ policy (e.g. centralized vs. federated)
- Minimum data needed may be different at different levels (local/ state/ federal)

## Facility-Level Data Elements

- Base facility data elements
- Generally available
- Unlikely to change (lookup table?)
- Daily facility summary report
- Addresses need for monitoring resources in public health emergency
- Manual reporting currently feasible for some elements
- Automated reporting not currently feasible
- Resources needed make it unsustainable for routine reporting (but is it necessary routinely?)

## Patient Data Elements

- Strongly agree that should be limited to ADT, rather than every inpatient event
- Generally available
- DOB not needed, and introduces identifiability concerns (w/ zip/gender)
- 5-digit zip may not be needed, depending on user/ purpose.  (could follow HIPAA guideline)

## Clinical Data Elements

- Limit to ADT
- Onset date very useful, but very unlikely to be available in structured format
- Pulse ox may be available, but has utility been demonstrated?  Also- could have numerous/ continuous monitoring
- Nursing/ triage notes generally not available (EMR-only), utility not shown, and significant privacy concerns.

## Lab/ Radiology Data Elements

- Defining subset will be critical
- Generally available, but utility not shown
- May have merit if narrowly focused
- Viral respiratory assays, antibiotic resistance patterns
- Radiology results may be useful in some instances (“widened mediastinum”)

## Lab/ Micro Results

- Defining subset will be critical
- Mapping local codes to LOINC/ SNOMED can be arduous
- Are there official standards/ standard-setting body for all of these (e.g., test interpretation)
- Need to coordinate with national electronic laboratory reporting initiative

## Simulation questions : SixTrack for diffusion calculations 

- Natalia Abreu
- Mini Workshop in Electron lens Simulation
- December 3rd 2008

## Modifications

- The starting point uses basically all the modifications presented by Guillaume and Yun (use of more than 64 particles at a time, etc...);
- The output file with the coordinates of each particle at each turn is disabled (for 105 turns it would mean output files of the order of GBytes);
- A new DO loop is added so that for every turn the rms spread of the action of the 64 particles packs is calculated and every 100 turns this 64 rms values are averaged and printed on a new output file.

## Capabilities, input/output, limitations 

- The code gives as output a much smaller file which has the data needed for the diffusion calculation, made simple if we define it as:
- The input files are the same ones used for the long-term calculations: fort.2, fort.3, fort.16 and a file with the initial distribution of the tracked particles in phase space (6D);
- From diffusion calculations it is possible to run a job of 640 particles (10 packs of 64 particles with the same initial action) and 105 turns in about 8-10 hours in a conventional PC.
- This is limited by the fact that SixTrack runs 64 particles at a time but is easy to overcome.

## Microwave Dangers

**What caused this incident to happen this time and not on other occasions?**  We may never know the answer to this, but albeit, the cause may be linked to the metal that was incorporated into the cup.  **Metal and microwaves just don’t mix.**  Metal has a habit of arching in the presence of microwave energy.  This sparking, in connection with plastic, can easily start a fire.   This is also true for paper with an aluminized foil coating (commonly seen as hamburger wrappers).   Extra care needs to be taken when placing items in a microwave.

- The following incident occurred on February 10, 2006 at 9:30 am in the O&C Building.  The employee placed an aluminum covered mug in the microwave for less than a minute to heat liquid. Shortly after it was turned on, a fire started inside the microwave that resulted in the cup handle melting and the top lining

*When using a microwave oven:  *
*  **Never operate the microwave empty.  *
*  **Never put metal into the microwave. *
*  **Use only “microwave safe” utensils, cups and bowls. Never leave what you are cooking unattended.  *
*  **Ensure the correct time is set for what you are cooking. *
*  **Foods and liquids may be hot.  Use extreme caution along with pot holders or oven mitts. *

## The perfect fluid at RHIC

- How ideal is the perfect fluid?
- What is its EoS?
- A strongly interacting approx thermalized system which properties are consistent with an ideal fluid with QGP EoS!

## Velocity of Sound

- F. Karsch and E. Laermann, arXiv:hep-lat/0305025

**R. Gavai, S. Gupta and S. Mukherjee, arXiv:hep-lat/0509127**

- P.F. Kolb and U. Heinz, in Quark Gluon Plasma, nucl-th/0305084

## Testing the EoS!

- Test the effect of four different EoS; qp is lattice inspired, Q has first order phase transition, H is hadron gas with no phase transition and T a smooth parameterization between hadron and QGP phase

- Pasi Huovinen, arXiv:nucl-th/0505036

## Dependence on the EoS!

- EoS Q and EoS T (both have significant softening) do provide the best description of the magnitude of the mass scaling in v2(pt)
- The lattice inspired EoS (EoS qp) in ideal hydro does as poorly as a hadron gas EoS!

- Pasi Huovinen, arXiv:nucl-th/0505036

- Detailed agreement between ideal hydro and measured v2(mass,pt) an accident? (Hirano and Gyulassy arXiv:nucl-th/0506049). Should we replace p by charm

## v4 from ideal hydro

- Ratio v4/v22 is sensitive to degree of thermalization
- v4(pt)/v2(pt)2 is 1/2 for ideal hydro according to Borghini and Ollitrault (more accurate for increasing values of pt), nucl-th/0506045
- Observed integrated ratio is larger than unity
- can describe v4 but not v2 and v4 with same EoS!

## The perfect fluid at RHIC

- How ideal is the perfect fluid?
- What is its EoS?
- What is keeping us from determining this?

## Science Nugget from NAG5-10850:Superposed Epoch Analysis of Ring Current Geoeffectiveness

- PI: Michael Liemohn
- Institution: University of Michigan
- Key Personnel:
- Jichun Zhang, U-M grad student
- Michelle Thomsen, LANL

## Intense Storms vs. Moderate Storms @ Solar Maximum

## Comparison

**Similarities**
- A geomagnetic storm is driven by sufficiently intense and long-lasting southward IMF [*Gonzalez et al.,* 1994].
- During geomagnetic storms, the density of hot ions at geosynchronous orbit vary with time and local time, peaking near dawn side near Dst*min
- The temperature of hot-ions at geosynchronous orbit vary with time and local time, with a minimum in the dawn/noon sector.

**Differences**
- Intense Storms with average Dst*min= -169 nT are driven by Bz < -10nT lasting for >3 hrs; moderate storms with average Dst*min= -67 nT are driven by Bz < -5nT lasting for >2 hrs.
- At solar maximum, hot ions at geosynchronous orbit are denser during intense storms than during moderate storms.
- At solar maximum, hot ions at geosynchronous orbit are hotter during moderate storms than during intense storms, especially around dusk.

**Punchline:** Storm intensity increases because of...
- A stronger convective flow (deeper injection)
- A denser plasma sheet (more source particles)
- A colder plasma sheet (less B-drift, deeper injection)

## Figure Footnotes

- MPA NHP, MPA THP, IMF Bz, and Dst* vs. epoch time
- July 1999 to June 2002
- 34 intense storms (Dst*min < -100 nT)
- 63 moderate storms (-100 nT < Dst*min < -50 nT)
- Tail Lobe, Magnetosheath, and Boundary Layer intervals are excluded by accepting only:
-  NHP < 3 cm-3
-  THP > 2 keV
