The impact of aerosols on non‐precipitating marine stratocumulus. II: The semi‐direct effect
Authors: Hill A. A. , Dobbie S.
Published: August 2008

In this paper, the second part of a two‐part study, we use the UK Met Office's large‐eddy‐simulation model with bin‐resolved cloud microphysics (the ‘BR‐LEM’) to investigate the semi‐direct aerosol effect. In particular, we focus on the interaction between the semi‐direct effect that results from absorbing aerosol in the boundary layer and the indirect aerosol effects in non‐precipitating marine stratocumulus. We show that, irrespective of the initial concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), the presence of absorbing aerosol, i.e. black carbon (BC), in the boundary layer and the associated warming cause a decrease in liquid‐water path (LWP) and a positive radiative forcing, i.e. a positive semi‐direct forcing. Analysis of the change in the semi‐direct forcing with increasing CCN concentration shows that as CCN increases from 100 cm−3 to 500 cm−3 the semi‐direct forcing is reduced by 20%. In contrast, further increasing CCN concentration to 1000 cm−3 causes the semi‐direct forcing to increase by 75% relative to the value at 100 cm−3. We show that the semi‐direct forcing increases with increasing CCN concentration because of a coupling between the BC warming of the boundary layer and an evaporation–entrainment feedback that results from increasing CCN concentration, which further warms the boundary layer. This coupling increases the impact of BC, causing enhanced BC‐induced reduction of LWP with increasing CCN. It causes marine stratocumulus formed in high‐CCN regimes to be more sensitive to warming by absorbing aerosol, and hence produce a stronger semi‐direct forcing.

We compare the BR‐LEM results with results from simulations performed with the standard large‐eddy‐simulation model (the ‘Bulk‐LEM’), employing a simple single‐moment bulk scheme, which does not simulate the dynamical feedback. This comparison demonstrates that for a case of very high pollution, the failure of the bulk microphysics to capture an evaporation–entrainment feedback results in a semi‐direct forcing that is 40% lower than that of the clean control run. As a result, the Bulk‐LEM significantly underestimates the semi‐direct forcing estimate relative to the BR‐LEM. We conclude that, irrespective of the microphysics scheme employed, the semi‐direct aerosol effect is sensitive to the indirect aerosol effect. However, failure to simulate the evaporation–entrainment feedback associated with increasing CCN concentration results in a significant underestimation of the magnitude of the semi‐direct effect and an overestimation of the total aerosol effect.

Examination of aerosol effects on precipitation in deep convective clouds during the 1997 ARM summer experiment
Authors: Lee Seoung Soo , Donner Leo J. , Phillips Vaughan T. J. , Ming Yi
Published: August 2008

It has been generally accepted that increasing aerosols suppress precipitation. The aerosol‐induced precipitation suppression was suggested by the study of shallow stratiform clouds. Recent studies of convective clouds showed increasing aerosols could increase precipitation. Those studies showed that intense feedbacks between aerosols and cloud dynamics led to increased precipitation in some cases of convective clouds. This study expanded those studies by analyzing detailed microphysical and dynamical modifications by aerosols leading to increased precipitation. This study focused on three observed cases of mesoscale cloud ensemble (MCE) driven by deep convective clouds, since MCE accounts for a large proportion of the Earth's precipitation and the study of aerosol effects on MCE is at its incipient stage. Those MCEs were observed during the 1997 Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) summer experiment. Two numerical experiments were performed for each of the MCEs to simulate aerosol effects on deep convection. The first was with high aerosol number concentration, and the second was with low concentration. The results showed an increased precipitation at high aerosol, due to stronger, more numerous updraughts, initiated by stronger convergence lines at the surface in convective regions of the MCE. The stronger convergence lines were triggered by increased evaporation of cloud liquid in the high‐aerosol case, made possible by higher values of cloud liquid necessary for autoconversion.

The generality of these results requires further investigation. However, they demonstrate that the response of precipitation to increased aerosols in deep convection can be different from that in shallow cloud systems, at least for the cases studied here.

Hydrometeorological ensemble simulations of flood events over a small basin of Majorca Island, Spain
Authors: Amengual A. , Romero R. , Alonso S.
Published: August 2008

A hydrometeorological modelling study is designed in order to assess the feasibility of high‐resolution mesoscale‐model‐driven runoff simulations for a small basin of Majorca in the Balearic Islands. Four intense precipitation events, which caused flood events of different magnitudes over the Albufera basin (with a drainage area of 610 km2), are analysed. The Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC‐HMS) runoff model is used to generate the hydrological simulations. The lack of flow measurements in the basin poses great difficulties in the evaluation of the rain‐gauge‐driven runoff simulations. Therefore the runoff model is run under the assumption that a best estimation of the hydrological model parameters, mainly related to the infiltration properties of the watershed, can be obtained from the high‐resolution observational campaign developed by the Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) Land Cover project. The non‐hydrostatic fifth‐generation Pennsylvania State University / NCAR Mesoscale Numerical Model (MM5) is used to provide quantitative precipitation forecasts for the events. The MM5‐driven runoff simulations are compared against stream‐flow simulations driven by the rainfall observations, thus employing the hydrological model as a validation tool. In addition to the control MM5 simulations, a multi‐physics ensemble is carried out: various combinations of the physical parametrizations of the MM5 model (cloud microphysics, moist convection and boundary‐layer schemes) are adopted, in order to better encompass the atmospheric processes leading to the high precipitation amounts. Results show that high‐resolution numerical weather experiments in this area of complex orography accurately reproduce most of the extreme precipitation events under study, enabling potentially valuable discharge simulations, despite the small size of the basin. The value of the multi‐physical model ensemble in conveying the uncertainty of precipitation, and therefore the discharge experiments, is also discussed. Copyright © 2008 Royal Meteorological Society
Geographical variation in climatic cues for mast seeding of Fagus crenata
Authors: Masaki Takashi , Oka Teruki , Osumi Katsuhiro , Suzuki Wajiro
Published: August 2008

Geographical variation in climatic cues for masting of Fagus crenata Blume, which is the most dominant tree species in Japanese temperate forests, was investigated in the northern part of Japan, i.e., the Tohoku district of Honshu Island and the Oshima Peninsula of Hokkaido Island. The data obtained after an 18‐year assessment (1989–2006) of 163 stands, covering an area of ca. 200 × 500 km2 area, were used in this study. In all stands, mast seeding occurred three times (1995, 2000 and 2005) during the study period and the coefficient of annual variation (CV) in seedfall density was 0.94. Based on cluster analysis, the stands were classified into each of the seven groups, in which the seedfall density was temporally synchronized among the stands and showed higher values of CV (1.04–1.79). These groups were distributed spatially exclusively at the scale of 80–200 km. By selecting the tree model based on AIC values, lower temperature in spring, higher temperature in summer and seedfall density in a year were proved to have a decisive influence on the seedfall density in the subsequent year. The effects of the first two climatic cues overwhelm that of the seedfall density. Lower temperature in spring served as a cue mostly for the population in the Oshima Peninsula, while higher temperature in summer served as a cue for the populations in the Tohoku district. If this suggests a genetic variation in relation to cues, climatic changes (e.g., global warming) will have different impacts on seed production of different F. crenata populations. However, it remains to be tested in future studies whether multiple climatic cues simply reflect regionally variable climatic conditions or not.
Acculturation and Familiarity With, Attitudes Towards and Beliefs about Genetic Testing for Cancer Risk Within Latinas in East Harlem, New York City

Published: August 2008

Recent research underscores the need for increasing use of genetic testing for cancer risk in Latinos. This study examined the influence of acculturation on attitudes, beliefs about and familiarity with genetic testing for cancer risk in a community‐based sample of Latinas in East Harlem, New York City (N = 103). Multivariate linear regression models analyzed the relationship of acculturation to: (1) familiarity (2) perceived benefits (3) perceived barriers and (4) concerns about abuses of genetic testing for cancer risk. Controlling for sociodemographic factors, results revealed that with increasing acculturation Latinas were more familiar with genetic testing (β = 1.62, SE = 0.72, p = 0.03), more likely to cite perceived benefits (β = 1.67, SE = 0.79, p = 0.04), and less likely to report perceived barriers related to genetic testing (β = −2.76, SE = 1.64, p = 0.10). Study results may help inform the development of culturally‐appropriate health education outreach materials and programs targeted to increase awareness, knowledge and understanding about genetic testing for cancer risk within Latinas.
Bax inserts into the mitochondrial outer membrane by different mechanisms
Authors: Cartron Pierre-François , Bellot Grégory , Oliver Lisa , Grandier-Vazeille Xavier , Manon Stephen , Vallette François M.
Published: August 2008

Bax insertion into the mitochondrial outer membrane is essential for the implementation of apoptosis. However, little is known about the first stage of Bax integration into the mitochondrial outer membrane. We have recently shown that TOM22, a mitochondrial outer membrane receptor, is important for insertion, although other reports have suggested that only mitochondrial lipids are involved in this process. Here, we show that monomers, but not dimers, of Bax require the presence of TOM22 and TOM40 to integrate into mitochondria. In addition we show that once inserted into the membrane, Bax can act as a receptor for cytosolic Bax.
Probabilities in Tragic Choices
Authors: RIVERA-LÓPEZ EDUARDO
Published: August 2008

In this article I explore a kind of tragic choice that has not received due attention, one in which you have to save only one of two persons but the probability of saving is not equal (and all other things are equal). Different proposals are assessed, taking as models proposals for a much more discussed tragic choice situation: saving different numbers of persons. I hold that cases in which (only) numbers are different are structurally similar to cases in which (only) probabilities are different. After a brief defense of this claim, I conclude that some version of consequentialism seems more promising for offering a plausible solution to the probability case.
Benefit versus Numbers versus Helping the Worst-off: An Alternative to the Prevalent Approach to the Just Distribution of Resources
Authors: STARK ANDREW
Published: August 2008

A central strand in philosophical debate over the just distribution of resources attempts to juggle three competing imperatives: helping those who are worst off, helping those who will benefit the most, and then – beyond this – determining when to aggregate such ‘worst off’ and ‘benefit’ claims, and when instead to treat no such claim as greater than that which any individual by herself can exert. Yet as various philosophers have observed, ‘we have no satisfactory theoretical characterization’ as to how to weigh each of the three imperatives against one another, we find it ‘difficult to state . . . precise or comprehensive conclusions’, and we do not yet have a ‘metric for integrating the three measures’. In what follows, I offer an approach to weighing the three criteria against one another that yields resolutions – in Hard Cases of the ‘saving one infant's life versus replacing ten elderly people's hips’ sort – that are cardinally definitive, intuitively satisfactory and theoretically justified.
ALHACEN’S APPROACH TO ‘‘ALHAZEN’S PROBLEM’’
Authors: SMITH A. MARK
Published: August 2008

In the fifth book of his De aspectibus, the medieval Latin version of Ibn al-Haytham’s Kitāb al-Manāẓir, Alhacen undertakes to determine precisely where a given ray of light will reflect to a given center of sight from a variety of convex and concave mirrors based on circular sections. As applied specifically to convex and concave spherical mirrors, this problem exercised several seventeenth-century thinkers, Christiaan Huygens foremost among them, and in that context it soon became known as ‘‘Alhazen’s Problem.’’ By current standards, Alhacen’s solution (or solutions) of this problem is deficient in comparison to that of Huygens and later mathematicians. It is my purpose in this paper to show by reconstruction that in fact, far from deficient in any absolute sense, Alhacen’s approach to this problem was remarkably ingenious and elegant in its conceptual simplicity.
