Career development of trauma survivors: expectations about counseling and career maturity
Authors: Coursol Diane H. , Lewis Jacqueline , Garrity Lisa
Published: December 2011

Trauma survivors include individuals who have been affected by a severe physical or psychologically threatening experience. This study compared the expectations for career counseling and the level of career maturity among trauma survivors and nonsurvivors (individuals who have had no trauma experience) who participated in a program at a midwestern social service agency. The findings indicated that trauma survivors were more motivated and open to counseling than nonsurvivors, but expected their counselors to be less empathic. No significant differences were noted on career maturity. Implications for counselor training and future research are also discussed.
Examination of individual differences in participation in outplacement program activities after a job loss
Authors: Gowan Mary A. , Nassar‐McMillan Sylvia C.
Published: December 2011

This study investigated the relationship among age, gender, and race relative to participation in self‐awareness, action‐oriented, and training activities after a job loss. The 156 respondents in this study were part of a larger, longitudinal study that collected data using questionnaires from outplacement program participants at 6 months and at 1 year following a company closing. Main effects were found for gender and for Age × Employment status. Implications of the study for outplacement programs, along with study limitations and future research directions, are discussed.
Examining the differences in career thoughts of women in three low socioeconomic status groups
Authors: Keim Jeanmarie , Strauser David R. , Ketz Kristi
Published: December 2011

The authors examined differences in career thoughts of 3 groups of women from low socioeconomic status backgrounds. The 3 groups were composed of women who were not seeking employment, women attempting to obtain General Educational Development (GED) certification prior to seeking employment, and women with disabilities who were participating in readiness‐to‐work programs. Results indicated that there were significant differences in participants' career thoughts. Specifically, career thoughts of women who were not seeking employment were significantly less dysfunctional than were the career thoughts of the women who were pursuing their GED certification and those of the women with disabilities who were participating in a job‐readiness training program. The impact of negative career thoughts is discussed.
Gender barriers in the legal profession: Implications for career development of female law students
Authors: Krakauer Lianne , Chen Charles P.
Published: December 2011

To draw attention to the changes occurring in the legal profession, in general, and in law school, in particular, this analytical discussion aims at examining some of the key issues pertinent to the life career development of female students in law schools. The authors explore gender‐related psychosocial aspects, such as the differences between the career patterns of men and women. The applicability to women of key tenets from several career development theories is considered, and several specific career counseling implications and strategies, aimed at addressing the unique needs of women studying in a law school environment, are provided.
Employing people with severe disabilities: The challenge remains
Authors: Kennedy R. Bryan , Harris Nicole K.
Published: December 2011

The authors present an update on the number of individuals with disabilities who are employed at a large federal installation that has been using a recruitment intervention designed to increase the employment rate of individuals with disabilities. The initial review of accessions (i.e., successful recruitments), published in the Journal of Job Placement (R. B. Kennedy, 1996), presented data that spanned 11 years (1984–1994). This article gives recruitment data for another 7 years (1995–2001).
Employment counseling and organizational ethical values
Authors: Valentine Sean
Published: December 2011

Employment counseling is commonly used in companies to assist employees with various personal and professional challenges that are confronted in the workplace. Such guidance could affect the degree to which employees believe a company proactively supports an ethical orientation; the purpose of this study was to explore this issue. A self‐report survey was used to collect data from 105 working students who were attending business classes at the University of Wyoming. Results suggested that perceptions of organizational ethical values were higher among students who were employed in companies that offered employment counseling than were the perceptions of those working in companies that did not offer employment counseling.
The application of solution‐focused work in employment counseling
Authors: Bezanson Birdie J.
Published: December 2011

The author explores the applicability of a solution‐focused therapy (SFT) model as a comprehensive approach to employment counseling. SFT focuses the client on developing a vision of a preferred future and assumes that the client has the talents and resources that can be accessed in the employment counseling process. The solution‐focused counselor enters the therapeutic relationship from a point of “not knowing” and works with the client in job transition to develop possibilities that evolve from the client's strengths and knowledge. Examples are given of how solution‐focused employment counseling could be practiced.
Integrating fieldwork into employment counseling for methadone‐treatment patients
Authors: Blankertz Laura , Spinelli Michael , Magura Stephen , Bali Priti , Madison Elizabeth M. , Staines Graham L. , Horowitz Emily , Guarino Honoria , Grandy Audrey , Fong Chunki , Gomez Augustin , Dimun Amy , Friedman Ellen
Published: December 2011

An innovative employment counseling model, Customized Employment Supports, was developed for methadone‐treatment patients, a population with historically low employment rates. The effectiveness of a key component of the model, “vocational fieldwork,” the delivery of services in the community rather than only within the clinic, was assessed through a quasi‐experimental study of the first 55 patients receiving the model in 2 clinics. Employment outcomes after 6 months were compared between patients who received vocational fieldwork (n = 18) and those who did not (n = 37). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that patients receiving vocational fieldwork had significantly better outcomes for competitive work, informal work, and any paid work.
The high‐tech industry and its workers
Authors: Kirk James , Belovics Robert
Published: December 2011

The purpose of this article is to provide counselors, academic advisers, and career coaches with a basic understanding of the current state of the high‐technology (high‐tech) industry in the United States and the people who work in it. A profile of a high‐tech worker is presented, several high‐tech career developments are described, and selected industry trends and issues are discussed. The authors conclude by offering 5 specific ways employment counselors can help aspiring, disillusioned, and/or committed high‐tech workers manage their careers.
assessing complexity: integrating being and becoming
Authors: Pryor Robert G. L.
Published: December 2011

Holistic perspectives in career development have focused attention on complexity as important for counselors using assessment techniques. Increased emphasis on subjectivity has resulted in greater focus on qualitative measures versus traditional psychometric tests. These developments reflect issues such as the idiographic‐nomothetic distinction and individuals' being and becoming. The author uses a card sort technique to show how some of these issues might be addressed in the context of seeking a more comprehensive assessment for addressing the challenge of assessing complexity. Specifically, complexity is assessed in terms of traits, unique patterns of preferences, personal constructs, idiosyncratic likes, and the potential for change.
the interaction of work adjustment and attachment theory: employment counseling implications
Authors: Renfro‐Michel Edina L. , Burlew Larry D. , Robert Tracey
Published: December 2011

Career development is a lifelong process beginning with career choice. However, career choice alone does not guarantee career success. Rather than focus on choosing a career, the theory of work adjustment (TWA) focuses on the process of becoming an exemplary employee through each stage of an individual's career. Within TWA, employee relationships with peers and bosses create reputations that may help or hinder promotion. Understanding attachment theory in relation to TWA may help clients to become more successful in their career. Case examples explain how employment counselors may integrate TWA and attachment theory with clients.
benefits of job clubs for executive job seekers: a tale of hares and tortoises
Authors: Kondo Christopher T.
Published: December 2011

This qualitative research study compares the experiences of 2 groups of executive job seekers—job club members and nonmembers—through thematic analysis of open‐ended interviews. The findings indicated that job club members benefited from group learning, increased accountability, networking opportunities, emotional support, helping other members, and enhanced understanding of the context of their experiences. Job club members also enjoyed lower levels of frustration with the search process, used a wider range of outplacement firm services, and devoted more time on average to job search activities. Suggestions for practical implementation and application of results are discussed.
self‐funded leave and life role development
Authors: Furbish Dale S.
Published: December 2011

Self‐funded leave is an employee benefit that provides a time resource to those who wish to develop interests and other life roles. Semistructured interviews were used for this qualitative study to explore the motivations for enrolling in the self‐funded leave program, how the leave contributed to work‐life balance through development of other life roles, and the difficulties that arose during the program. Adult transition theory is used to conceptualize the process of participating in self‐funded leave programs and to suggest how employees who undertake self‐funded leave can be best supported by career counselors.

a test of holland's theory of vocational personalities and work environments
Authors: Toomey Kristine D. , Levinson Edward M. , Palmer Eric J.
Published: December 2011

This study investigated the validity of J. L. Holland's (1997) theory of vocational personalities and work environments. The sample consisted of 241 randomly selected members of the National Association of School Psychologists, each of whom completed a demographic data form, the Self‐Directed Search‐Revised (SDS‐R; J. L. Holland, 1994) and a modified short form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (D. J. Weiss, R. V. Dawis, G. W. England, & L. H. Lofquist, 1967). Only limited support was found for major constructs associated with Holland's theory, although the study found several significant relationships between 3‐letter SDS‐R codes and desired role function as would be predicted by Holland's theory.
application of the social marketing model to unemployment counseling: a theoretical perspective
Authors: Englert Paul , Sommerville Susannah , Guenole Nigel
Published: December 2011

A. R. Andreasen's (1995) social marketing model (SMM) is applied to structure feedback counseling for individuals who are unemployed. The authors discuss techniques used in commercial marketing and how they are equally applicable to solving societal problems; SMM and its application to social interventions; and structured feedback that moves a person from contemplating change to sustained behavioral modification, which can facilitate attitudinal and behavioral change. The relationship of SMM to motivational theories that support the potential of SMM for unemployment counseling is also discussed. The article concludes with a review of the integration of SMM by the New Zealand Employment Service.
career development practitioners as advocates for transgender individuals: understanding gender transition
Authors: Sangganjanavanich Varunee Faii
Published: December 2011

Assisting transgender individuals is a concern for career development practitioners because there is a lack of knowledge on this topic. The complexity of gender reassignment surgery brings challenges and unique needs to this population, throughout gender transition, and requires career development practitioners to understand these challenges and needs to provide appropriate services to transgender individuals. The author conducted a comprehensive review of the literature in the areas of transgender issues in career development and counseling, counseling transgender individuals, gender transition, and multicultural counseling competencies. The role of career development practitioners as advocates for transgender individuals who experience gender transition is discussed.
career concerns of unemployed u.s. war veterans: suggestions from a cognitive information processing approach
Authors: Bullock Emily E. , Braud Jennifer , Andrews Lindsay , Phillips Jennifer
Published: December 2011

The authors examined U.S. war veterans' career concerns (e.g., interests, personality, barriers, career thoughts) to provide possible avenues for research‐based and theory‐driven intervention. The veterans who participated in the study were receiving mental health, substance abuse, and vocational services at a residential facility. Participants were found to have interests in all RIASEC (J. L. Holland, B. A. Fritzsche, & A. B. Powell, 1994; J. L. Holland & G. D. Gottfredson, 1994) interest areas, and negative career thinking was found to be related to a variety of negative indicators. Suggestions are provided for working with veterans using the Cognitive Information Processing approach to career decision making.

the transition from school to vocational education and training: a theoretical model and transition support program
Authors: Masdonati Jonas
Published: December 2011

This study developed a theoretical model of the school‐to‐work transition and evaluated the effects of a transition support program designed to prepare compulsory school graduates to enter the Swiss dual vocational education and training system. A 13‐session program was designed to improve teenagers' views toward the world of work and enable them to sharpen their interpersonal skills. The intervention's effects were assessed through interviews with participants at the program's completion and 1 year later and with participants' teachers. Findings showed that participants improved their readiness to face the world of work. Implications for future research and programs are discussed.
cluster types of attitudes toward multiple role planning of single, korean, female undergraduates
Authors: Woo Young Jee , Lee Ki‐Hak
Published: December 2011

The current study explored the attitudes that single, Korean, female college students have toward multiple role planning. Cluster groups among the participants were identified by their scores on the Korean language version (Yang, 1997) of the Attitudes Toward Multiple Role Planning (ATMRP; Weitzman, 1992) measure, and significant differences in career‐ and marriage‐related variables were also examined. Five clusters were derived using cluster analysis based on participants' scores on the ATMRP. Significant differences among clusters were found on career‐ and marriage‐related variables. This study contributes to the understanding of various patterns in attitudes toward multiple roles and suggests effective interventions for each group in the career decision‐making process.

the use of narratives to contextualize the experiences and needs of unemployed, underemployed, and displaced workers
Authors: Russell Jessica C.
Published: December 2011

The author examined the role of narratives used by unemployed, underemployed, and displaced workers seeking job training assistance through a government‐funded One‐Stop Career Center. Interviews with employees of a One‐Stop Career Center provided insight on client rate of disclosure of personal narratives and how client narratives are used to facilitate the job search process. Specifically, data from the interviews suggest that narratives give career center employees insight on job seekers' background, barriers, and reemployment mind‐set. Furthermore, the act of listening was seen as legitimizing job seekers' experiences. Implications of the findings are discussed.
supporting workplace diversity: emerging roles for employment counselors
Authors: Neault Roberta A. , Mondair Suneet
Published: December 2011

Employment counselors generally understand the benefits of workplace diversity; most are actively engaged in supporting diverse clients to attach to the workforce. However, they are less likely to be involved in supporting organizations to create workplaces where diverse workers are welcomed, appreciated, and fully engaged. In this article, results from a Canadian project to develop the Supporting Employers Embracing Diversity (S.E.E.D.) tool kit are presented and 10 emerging roles that employment counselors can play are introduced.

Neuroanatomical evidence for a putative autocrine/paracrine signaling system involving nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, purinergic receptors, and nitric oxide synthase in the airways
Authors: Rose Jed E. , Dehkordi Ozra , Fatemi Mehrnaz , Raghupathi Ramya , Millis Richard M. , Jayam‐Trouth Annapurni
Published: December 2011

Nicotine in tobacco smoke is thought to stimulate sensory nerve fibers by receptors that are located on airway epithelial cells and on terminal branches of C‐fiber afferents, but the exact neurochemical substrate that mediates the sensory effects of nicotine associated with cigarette smoking is not clear. ATP and nitric oxide (NO) have both been implicated in lung responsiveness to airborne chemicals such as nicotine. However, the neuroanatomical and functional relationships between nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), purinergic signaling, and NO are not known, and the main source of NO in the airways is not clear. In the present study, we performed RT‐PCR to confirm the presence of mRNA for all three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), neuronal (n‐NOS), endothelial (e‐NOS), and inducible (i‐NOS), in the lung. Sequential double labeling was performed to assess the site of expression of the different NOS isoforms with respect to nAChRs and purinergic receptors (P2X3R) of the intrapulmonary airways. RT‐PCR confirmed the presence of n‐NOS, e‐NOS, and i‐NOS in the lung, and immunohistochemical studies verified their expression by epithelial cells at all levels of the intrapulmonary airways, including the terminal and respiratory bronchioles. Sequential double labeling demonstrated coexpression of n‐NOS and/or i‐NOS with nAChR‐ and P2X3R‐expressing cells. These neuroanatomical findings suggest that bronchial epithelial cells may be a primary source of NO in the intrapulmonary airways and that the production and release of NO may be regulated by an autocrine/paracrine signaling system involving nAChRs and P2X3Rs. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Neurite transection produces cytosolic oxidation, which enhances plasmalemmal repair
Authors: Spaeth C.S. , Fan J.D. , Spaeth E.B. , Robison T. , Wilcott R.W. , Bittner G.D.
Published: December 2011

To survive, cells must rapidly repair (seal) plasmalemmal damage. Cytosolic oxidation has been shown to increase cell survival in some cases and produce cell death in other protocols. An antioxidant (melatonin; Mel) has been reported to decrease the probability of sealing plasmalemmal damage. Here we report that plasmalemmal damage produces cytosolic oxidation, as assayed by methylene blue (MB) color change in rat B104 hippocampal cells. Plasmalemmal sealing is affected by duration of Ca2+ deprivation and length of exposure to, and concentration of, oxidizing agents such as H2O2 and thimerosal (TH). Cytosolic oxidation by 10 μM to 50 mM H2O2 or 100 μM to 2 mM TH increases the probability of Ca2+‐dependent plasmalemmal sealing, whereas higher concentrations of H2O2 decrease sealing probability and also damage uninjured cells. We also show that antioxidants (Mel, MB) or reducing agents (dithiothreitol) decrease sealing. Proteins, such as protein kinase A, SNAP‐25, synaptobrevin, and N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive factor (previously reported to enhance sealing in other pathways), also enhance sealing in this oxidation pathway. In brief, our data show that plasmalemmal damage produces cytosolic oxidation that increases the probability of plasmalemmal sealing, which is strongly correlated with cell survival in other studies. Our results may provide new insights into the etiology and treatment of oxidation‐dependent neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Alzheimer's diseases. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Radical resection of a venous malformation in middle finger and immediate reconstruction using medial plantar artery perforator flap: A case report
Authors: Hea Gu Ja , Jeong Seong‐Ho
Published: December 2011

Reconstruction of complex defects resulting from radical resection of venous malformation occurring in other digits except the thumb is challenging because a thin and durable flap is required to achieve optimal reconstruction without functional impairment. Here, we describe an alternative reconstruction technique in a young patient. A 15‐year‐old female patient with venous malformation of the left 3rd finger was treated by radical excision of the tumor including involved skin, distal phalanx, and nail bed followed by reconstruction with free medial plantar artery perforator flap and split thickness nail bed graft from the great toe. Twenty‐nine months after surgery, the reconstructed finger showed a acceptable aesthetic result without tumor recurrence and excellent restoration of motor function. This method can be considered as an useful alternative option for management of the digital venous malformation in other digits except the thumb. Indications and technical aspects of this method are discussed in this report. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microsurgery, 2012.
Optimal damping of selected eigenfrequencies using dimension reduction
Authors: Benner Peter , Tomljanović Zoran , Truhar Ninoslav
Published: December 2011

We consider linear vibrational systems described by a system of second‐order differential equations of the form , where M and K are positive definite matrices, representing mass and stiffness, respectively. The damping matrix D is assumed to be positive semidefinite. We are interested in finding an optimal damping matrix that will damp a certain (critical) part of the eigenfrequencies. For this, we use an optimization criterion based on the minimization of the average total energy of the system. This is equivalent to the minimization of the trace of the solution of the corresponding Lyapunov equation AX + XAT = −GGT, where A is the matrix obtained from linearizing the second‐order differential equation, and G depends on the critical part of the eigenfrequencies to be damped. The main result is the efficient approximation and the corresponding error bound for the trace of the solution of the Lyapunov equation obtained through dimension reduction, which includes the influence of the right‐hand side GGT and allows us to control the accuracy of the trace approximation. This trace approximation yields a very accelerated optimization algorithm for determining the optimal damping. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: December 2011

In this paper, the global synchronization problem for complex dynamical networks with time‐delay and switching outer‐coupling matrices is studied using the method of adaptive control. The mixed time‐delays in the considered system comprise both discrete time‐varying delay and distributed delay. The outer‐coupling matrices in the complex networks are assumed to vary with time and are described by a Markov process with finite state values. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the complete‐square method, and the Kronecker product analysis technique, a sufficient condition, which guarantees the global synchronization of all of nodes is obtained. The updated laws of controller do not only depend on the lag states of the complex dynamical networks but also depend on the Markov process. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: December 2011

Plant protein-protein interaction networks have not been identified by large-scale experiments. In order to better understand the protein interactions in rice, the Predicted Rice Interactome Network (PRIN; http://bis.zju.edu.cn/prin/) presented 76,585 predicted interactions involving 5,049 rice proteins. After mapping genomic features of rice (GO annotation, subcellular localization prediction, and gene expression), we found that a well-annotated and biologically significant network is rich enough to capture many significant functional linkages within higher-order biological systems, such as pathways and biological processes. Furthermore, we took MADS-box domain-containing proteins and circadian rhythm signaling pathways as examples to demonstrate that functional protein complexes and biological pathways could be effectively expanded in our predicted network. The expanded molecular network in PRIN has considerably improved the capability of these analyses to integrate existing knowledge and provide novel insights into the function and coordination of genes and gene networks.
An Approach for Searching Insertions in Bacterial Genes Leading to the Phase Shift of Triplet Periodicity
Authors: Korotkova Maria A. , Kudryashov Nikolay A. , Korotkov Eugene V.
Published: December 2011

The concept of the phase shift of triplet periodicity (TP) was used for searching potential DNA insertions in genes from 17 bacterial genomes. A mathematical algorithm for detection of these insertions has been developed. This approach can detect potential insertions and deletions with lengths that are not multiples of three bases, especially insertions of relatively large DNA fragments (>100 bases). New similarity measure between triplet matrixes was employed to improve the sensitivity for detecting the TP phase shift. Sequences of 17,220 bacterial genes with each consisting of more than 1,200 bases were analyzed, and the presence of a TP phase shift has been shown in ~16% of analysed genes (2,809 genes), which is about 4 times more than that detected in our previous work. We propose that shifts of the TP phase may indicate the shifts of reading frame in genes after insertions of the DNA fragments with lengths that are not multiples of three bases. A relationship between the phase shifts of TP and the frame shifts in genes is discussed.
Generation and evolution of hydrothermal fluids at Yellowstone: Insights from the Heart Lake Geyser Basin

Published: December 2011

We sampled fumaroles and hot springs from the Heart Lake Geyser Basin (HLGB), measured water and gas discharge, and estimated heat and mass flux from this geothermal area in 2009. The combined data set reveals that diverse fluids share an origin by mixing of deep solute‐rich parent water with dilute heated meteoric water, accompanied by subsequent boiling. A variety of chemical and isotopic geothermometers are consistent with a parent water that equilibrates with rocks at 205°C ± 10°C and then undergoes 21% ± 2% adiabatic boiling. Measured diffuse CO2 flux and fumarole compositions are consistent with an initial dissolved CO2 concentration of 21 ± 7 mmol upon arrival at the caldera boundary and prior to southeast flow, boiling, and discharge along the Witch Creek drainage. The calculated advective flow from the basin is 78 ± 16 L s−1of parent thermal water, corresponding to 68 ± 14 MW, or ∼1% of the estimated thermal flux from Yellowstone. Helium and carbon isotopes reveal minor addition of locally derived crustal, biogenic, and meteoric gases as this fluid boils and degasses, reducing the He isotope ratio (Rc/Ra) from 2.91 to 1.09. The HLGB is one of the few thermal areas at Yellowstone that approaches a closed system, where a series of progressively boiled waters can be sampled along with related steam and noncondensable gas. At other Yellowstone locations, steam and gas are found without associated neutral Cl waters (e.g., Hot Spring Basin) or Cl‐rich waters emerge without significant associated steam and gas (Upper Geyser Basin).
Carbonaceous content and water‐soluble organic functionality of atmospheric aerosols at a semi‐rural New England location

Published: December 2011

Ambient aerosol samples (n = 287) collected at a semi‐rural location, Thompson Farm (TF) in Durham, New Hampshire, from August 2007 to 2008 exhibited seasonal variation, characterized by the largest total carbon (TC) concentrations during winter (3.74 ± 2.55 μg C m−3) and the smallest during summer (1.21 ± 1.22 μg C m−3). On average, 92% of TC was organic (OC), of which 69% on average was observed to be water‐soluble (WSOC). This study focuses on characterizing the WSOC functional groups using Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy on a subset of the samples (n = 108). Three aliphatic groups (H‐C, H‐C‐C=, and H‐C‐O) are estimated to account for 79% of the characterized WSOC carbon mass. Pure aliphatic (H‐C), oxygenated aliphatic (H‐C‐O), and unsaturated aliphatic (H‐C‐C=) groups were the dominant functional groups contributing to an average of 31%, 25%, and 23% of the WSOC carbon mass, respectively. The arylic group contributed an average of 21% of the WSOC carbon mass but exhibited large seasonal variation compared to the other groups. Precipitation affected mainly the WSOC and the H‐C‐C= functional group, which showed consistent decreases following rainfall events. Strong correlation between elemental carbon and OC and the dominance of air masses from the continental Midwest during winter shows that primary emissions (from local heating or industrial emissions) were the main sources during winter. Air masses originating from the continental Midwest were associated with the high levels of EC, primary OC, and H‐C‐O at TF. In contrast to winter, enhanced secondary formation and processed aerosols were dominant during other seasons.
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Modoki signal in the stratosphere
Authors: Zubiaurre I. , Calvo N.
Published: December 2011

El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is known to be the largest source of interannual variability in the tropical troposphere. However, the variability in the tropical Pacific since 1979 seems to be associated not only with “canonical” ENSO events but also with a variation thereof known as ENSO Modoki, which is characterized by warm anomalies in the central Pacific, west from those occurring during a typical ENSO. This works analyzes the signal of ENSO Modoki in the stratosphere and compares it to canonical ENSO by using the chemistry‐climate Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM3.5). The results reveal a significant warming in the Southern Hemisphere polar stratosphere during boreal winter months, which propagates downward in early spring; this is absent during canonical warm ENSO events. On the other hand, in the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere, the anomalous warming typical of canonical El Niño episodes during boreal winter is not statistically significant during El Niño Modoki events. These differences are related in WACCM3.5 to changes in tropical convection and tropospheric teleconnections associated with each type of event. In particular, an enhancement and westward displacement of the anomalous convective area during El Niño Modoki episodes is related to an intensification of the Pacific South American teleconnection pattern and a weakening of the Aleutian Low. During cold ENSO Modoki events a significant anomalous cooling is present in the model simulations.

Published: December 2011

Extensive intercomparison of columnar and near‐surface aerosols, simulated over the South Asian domain using the aerosol module included in the regional climate model (RegCM4) of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) have been carried out using ground‐based network of Sun/sky Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) radiometers, satellite sensors such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR), and ground‐based black carbon (BC) measurements made at Aerosol Radiative Forcing over India (ARFI) network stations. In general, RegCM4 simulations reproduced the spatial and seasonal characteristics of aerosol optical depth over South Asia reasonably well, particularly over west Asia, where mineral dust is a major contributor to the total aerosol loading. In contrast, RegCM4 simulations drastically underestimated the BC mass concentrations over most of the stations, by a factor of 2 to 5, with a large spatial variability. Seasonally, the discrepancy between the measured and simulated BC tended to be higher during winter and periods when the atmospheric boundary layer is convectively stable (such as nighttime and early mornings), while during summer season and during periods when the boundary layer is convectively unstable (daytime) the discrepancies were much lower, with the noontime values agreeing very closely with the observations. A detailed analysis revealed that the model does not reproduce the nocturnal high in BC, observed at most of the Indian sites especially during winter, because of the excessive vertical transport of aerosols under stable boundary layer conditions. As far as the vertical distribution was concerned, the simulated vertical profiles of BC agreed well with airborne measurements during daytime. This comprehensive validation exercise reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the model in simulating the spatial and temporal heterogeneities of the aerosol fields over South Asia.
