description: One in five Americans experience mental illness, and a majority of psychiatric prescriptions do not improve symptoms or cause major side effects. Recent evidence implicates variants disrupting transcription in the pathophysiology of psychiatric diseases. Accordingly, gene expression data may illuminate disease-specific and patient-specific changes in transcription. Here, we classify psychiatric disease from patient gene expression, rank psychiatric drugs by disease from drug gene targets and disease gene sets, and evaluate rankings with clinical prescribing patterns from the UK Biobank (UKBB). From Gene Expression Omnibus, we extract expression data from 145 cases of schizophrenia, 82 cases of bipolar disorder, 190 cases of major depressive disorder, and 307 shared controls. We generate probabilistic pathway scores for each patient. Using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway scores as features to predict psychiatric disease diagnosis with a random forest model improves accuracy compared to batch-corrected gene expression from 56% to 78%. After curating gene targets for 167 psychiatric drugs and using genes from distinguishing KEGG pathways as disease gene sets, we assessed “overlap” between disease and disease gene sets to rank drugs by disease. Using protein-protein-interaction networks and node2vec, we build a pipeline to rank treatments for psychiatric diseases that achieves a 3.4-fold improvement over a background model. We then validated these drug rankings with clinical prescribing trends in the UKBB. By counting co-occurrences of psychiatric diagnoses and psychiatric drug prescriptions, we were able to compare UKBB frequency ranks to predicted rankings. Our rankings correlated with the frequency rankings by Spearman correlation (ρ = 0.67). Thus, we demonstrate that gene-expression-derived pathway features can diagnose psychiatric diseases and that molecular insights derived from this classification task can inform treatment prioritization for psychiatric diseases. Moreover, gene-based rankings recapture clinical population-level prescribing patterns in the UKBB.

description: In greater Augusta of central Maine, 53 out of 1093 (4.8%) private bedrock well water samples from 1534 km² contained [U] > 30 μg/L, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for drinking water; and 226 out of 786 (29%) samples from 1135 km² showed [Rn] > 4,000 pCi/L (148 Bq/L), the U.S. EPA’s Alternative MCL. Groundwater pH, calcite dissolution and redox condition are factors controlling the distribution of groundwater U but not Rn due to their divergent chemical and hydrological properties. Groundwater U is associated with incompatible elements (S, As, Mo, F, and Cs) in water samples within granitic intrusions. Elevated [U] and [Rn] are located within 5–10 km distance of granitic intrusions but do not show correlations with metamorphism at intermediate scales (10⁰−10¹ km). This spatial association is confirmed by a high-density sampling (n = 331, 5–40 samples per km²) at local scales (≤10–1 km) and the statewide sampling (n = 5857, 1 sample per 16 km²) at regional scales (10²–103 km). Wells located within 5 km of granitic intrusions are at risk of containing high levels of [U] and [Rn]. Approximately 48 800–63 900 and 324 000 people in Maine are estimated at risk of exposure to U (> 30 μg/L) and Rn (> 4000 pCi/L) in well water, respectively.

description: We analyse the implications of information about local derivatives from the mass-radius diagram in neutron star matter. It is expected that the next generation of gravitational wave and electromagnetic detectors will allow the determination of the neutron star radius and mass with a small uncertainty. Observations of neutron stars clustered around a given neutron star mass allow the estimation of local derivatives in the $M(R)$ diagram, which can be used to constrain neutron star properties. From a model-independent description of the neutron star equation of state, it is shown that a $M(R)$ curve with a negative slope at 1.4$M_\odot$ predicts a $2M_\odot$ neutron star radius below 12 km. Furthermore, a maximum mass below 2.3$M_\odot$ is obtained if the $M(R)$ slope is negative in the whole range of masses above $1M_\odot$, and a maximum mass above 2.4$M_\odot$ requires the $M(R)$ slope to be positive in some range of masses. Constraints on the mass-radius curve of neutron stars will place strong constraints on microscopic models.

description: We study the formation of molecules and dust clusters in the ejecta of solar metallicity, Type II-P supernovae using a chemical kinetic approach. We follow the evolution of molecules and small dust cluster masses from day 100 to day 1500 after explosion. We consider stellar progenitors with initial mass of 12, 15, 19 and 25 Msun that explode as supernovae with stratified ejecta. The molecular precursors to dust grains comprise molecular chains, rings and small clusters of silica, silicates, metal oxides, sulphides and carbides, pure metals, and carbon, where the nucleation of silicate clusters is described by a two-step process of metal and oxygen addition. We study the impact of the 56Ni mass on the type and amount of synthesised dust. We predict that large masses of molecules including CO, SiO, SiS, O2, and SO form in the ejecta. We show that the discrepancy between the small dust masses detected at infrared wavelengths some 500 days post-explosion and the larger amounts of dust recently detected with Herschel in supernova remnants can be explained by the non-equilibrium chemistry linked to the formation of molecules and dust clusters in the ejected material. Dust gradually builds up from small (~10^{-5} Msun) to large masses (~5x 10^{-2} Msun) over a 5 yr period after explosion. Subsequent dust formation and/or growth is hampered by the shortage of chemical agents participating in the dust nucleation and the long time scale for accretion. The results highlight the dependence of the dust chemical composition and mass on the amount of 56Ni synthesised during the explosion. This dependence may partly explain the diversity of epochs at which dust forms in supernovae. More generally, our results indicate that type II-P supernovae are efficient but moderate dust producers with an upper limit on the mass of synthesised dust ranging from ~ 0.03 to 0.09 Msun.

description: Many egg producers have moved to more cage-free table egg production systems. In cage-free facilities, the nesting behaviour of hens is an important economic trait. Backyard chickens and layers primarily reared in deep litter systems, possess many management challenges in egg production viz.  floor laying, egg eating, egg breaking and soiling resulting in poor economic associated with production losses, poor egg quality and increased labour requirements in egg collection. In the field conditions, the incidence of floor eggs depends on factors related to birds, environment, nest training, and management practices. Chicken needs a dark and cozy place to lay their eggs. Nests containing loose material, such as wood shavings, rice husk or straw are preferred, and hens express more nest-building behaviours. 
The management challenge for poultry farmers is to finish alternative nesting sites where hens might lay out-of-nest eggs. To mitigate these issues, the management of a well-designed next box is crucial in increasing poultry production.

description: Background: Farmington virus (FARV) is a rhabdovirus that was isolated from a wild bird during an outbreak of epizootic eastern equine encephalitis on a pheasant farm in Connecticut, USA. Findings: Analysis of the nearly complete genome sequence of the prototype CT AN 114 strain indicates that it encodes the five canonical rhabdovirus structural proteins (N, P, M, G and L) with alternative ORFs (> 180 nt) in the N and G genes. Phenotypic and genetic characterization of FARV has confirmed that it is a novel rhabdovirus and probably represents a new species within the family Rhabdoviridae. Conclusions: In sum, our analysis indicates that FARV represents a new species within the family Rhabdoviridae.

description: A classical computation of vector bremsstrahlung in ultrarelativistic gravitational-force collisions of massive point particles is presented in an arbitrary number d of extra dimensions. Our method adapts the post-linear formalism of General Relativity to the multidimensional case. The total emitted energy, as well as its angular and frequency distribution and characteristic values, are discussed in detail. For an electromagnetic mediation propagated in the bulk, the emitted energy $E_{em}$ of scattering with impact parameter b has magnitude $E_{em} \sim e^4 e'^2 γ^{d+2}/(m^2 b^{3d+3})$, with dominant frequency $ω_{em} \sim γ^2/b$. For the gravitational force the charge emits via vector field, propagated in the bulk, energy $E_{rad}\sim[G_D m' e]^2 γ^{d+2}/b^{3d+3}$ for $d \geq 2$, with dominant frequency $ω\simγ^2/b$ and energy $E_{rad}\sim[G_5 m' e]^2γ^{3}\ln γ/b^{6}$ for $d=1$, with most of the energy coming from a wide frequency region $ω\in [γ/b),γ^2/b] $. For the UED model with extra space volume $V=(2πR)^d$ the emitted energy is $E_{UED}\sim (b^{d}/V)^2 E_{rad}$. Finally, for the ADD model, including four dimensions, the electromagnetic field living on 3-brane, loses on emission the energy $E_{ADD}\sim[G_D m'e]^2γ^{3}/(V b^{2d+3})$, with characteristic frequency $ω_{ADD}\simγ/b$. The contribution of the low frequency part of the radiation (soft photons) to the total radiated energy is shown to be negligible for all values of d. The domain of validity of the classical result is discussed. The result is analyzed from the viewpoint of the deWitt - Brehme - Hobbs equation (and corresponding equations in higher dimensions).

Interpreting the Role of the Magnetic Field from Dust Polarization Maps

description: Dust polarization observations from the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) are analyzed with the goal of providing a general tool to interpret the role of the magnetic field in molecular clouds. Magnetic field and dust emission gradient orientations are observed to show distinct patterns and features. The angle $δ$ between these two orientations can be interpreted as a magnetic field alignment deviation, assuming the emission gradient orientation to coincide with the density gradient orientation in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) force equation. In SMA high-resolution (collapsing) cores, additional symmetry properties in $δ$ can reveal accretion and outflow zones. All these observational findings suggest the angle $δ$ to be a relevant quantity that can assess the role of the magnetic field. Indeed, when comparing this angle with the (projection-free) magnetic field significance Σ_B (Koch et al. 2012a), it is demonstrated that |δ| yields an approximation to the change in Σ_B. Thus, changes in the magnetic field alignment deviation $δ$ trace changes in the role of the magnetic field. The angle $δ$ is observationally straightforward to determine, providing a tool to distinguish between zones of minor or significant magnetic field impact. This is exemplified by the CSO M+0.25+0.01, Mon R2, CO+0.02-0.02, M-0.02-0.07 sources and by the SMA high-resolution data from W51 e2, W51 North, Orion BN/KL and g5.89. Additional CSO sources are analyzed, providing further support of this result. Finally, based on the different features found in our sample of 31 sources in total, covering sizes from large-scale complexes to collapsing cores, a schematic evolutionary scenario is proposed (abridged).

description: Observations show robust changes in the circulation, temperature, and salinity of the Southern Ocean in recent decades. To what extent these changes are related to the formation of the ozone hole in the late twentieth century is an open question. Using a comprehensive chemistry-climate Earth system model, we contrast model runs with varying and with fixed surface concentrations of ozone depleting substances (ODS) from 1955 to 2005. In our model, ODS cause the majority of the summertime changes in surface wind stress which, in turn, induce a clear poleward shift of the ocean's meridional overturning circulation. In addition, more than 30% of the model changes in the temperature and salinity of the Southern Ocean are caused by ODS. These findings offer unambiguous evidence that increased concentrations of ODS in the late twentieth century are likely to have been been an important driver of changes in the Southern Ocean.

description: Most reinforcement learning (RL) methods focus on learning optimal policies over low-level action spaces. While these methods can perform well in their training environments, they lack the flexibility to transfer to new tasks. Instead, RL agents that can act over useful, temporally extended skills rather than low-level actions can learn new tasks more easily. Prior work in skill-based RL either requires expert supervision to define useful skills, which is hard to scale, or learns a skill-space from offline data with heuristics that limit the adaptability of the skills, making them difficult to transfer during downstream RL. Our approach, EXTRACT, instead utilizes pre-trained vision language models to extract a discrete set of semantically meaningful skills from offline data, each of which is parameterized by continuous arguments, without human supervision. This skill parameterization allows robots to learn new tasks by only needing to learn when to select a specific skill and how to modify its arguments for the specific task. We demonstrate through experiments in sparse-reward, image-based, robot manipulation environments that EXTRACT can more quickly learn new tasks than prior works, with major gains in sample efficiency and performance over prior skill-based RL.

description: We report effects of electron-electron (\emph{e-e}) interaction on electron spin resonance (ESR) in perpendicular magnetic field in two-dimensional (2D) systems with Bychkov-Rashba spin splitting induced by spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and structural inversion asymmetry (SIA). Using the Hartree-Fock approximation, we demonstrate that the SIA results in non-zero many-body corrections to the ESR energy and the energy of spin wave excitations. We discover that the \emph{e-e} interaction in 2D systems with SIA not only can enhance the ESR energy but can also lead to the ESR energy reduction. The magnitude of this effect exhibits remarkable features in a wide range of parameters relevant to experiment: it is found to be rather sensitive to the sign of g-factor and the filling factor of Landau levels $ν$. We derive analytical expressions for many-body corrections to ESR energy and the dispersion of spin wave excitations for the case of $ν\leq 2$. We have found out that \emph{e-e} interaction does not affect the ESR energy in the case of filling of the lowest Landau level ($ν\leq 1$) in 2D systems with positive g-factors even at arbitrarily large values of Bychkov-Rashba constant. The many-body renormalization of ESR energy in the case of fractional Quantum Hall effect is also discussed.

description: Abstract
Background: In 2019, diabetes cases in various countries increased by 463 million people and 4.2 million deaths. In the long term, DM can result in complications, one of which is PAD. So it is necessary to detect it early by measuring the value of the ankle brachial index and making efforts to prevent complications with chair-based exercise and a combination of elastic bands so that blood circulation is smooth. Research Objective: To know the effect of chair-based exercise on improving the value of the ankle brachial index in people with type II DM. Research Methods: This type of research is Quasi Experiment with Pre-Posttest and control group design. The research was conducted from March 1-April 1, 2023. The sample consisted of 54 respondents, using the purposive sampling technique. The analysis test used is the paired T-test.Results: Analysis of the average ABI value showed that there was a significant difference in the increase in ABI value, namely the right extremity (p = 0.013) and left extremity (p = 0.000). Analysis of unpaired variable t-tests on ABI values showed that there was a difference between the groups given chair-based exercise with an improvement of p = 0.043 right extermity and p = 0.048 left extermity (p <0.05) compared to the group not given gymnastics, so it can be concluded that the hypothesis is accepted. Conclusion: Chair-based exercise has an effect on improving ABI values in patients with type II DM.

description: A torus manifold $M$ is a $2n$-dimensional orientable manifold with an effective action of an $n$-dimensional torus such that $M^T\neq \emptyset$. In this paper we discuss the classification of torus manifolds which admit an invariant metric of non-negative curvature. If $M$ is a simply connected torus manifold which admits such a metric, then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a quotient of a free linear torus action on a product of spheres. We also classify rationally elliptic torus manifolds $M$ with $H^{\text{odd}}(M;\mathbb{Z})=0$ up homeomorphism.

Skin Segmentation based Elastic Bunch Graph Matching for efficient multiple Face Recognition

description: This paper is aimed at developing and combining different algorithms for face detection and face recognition to generate an efficient mechanism that can detect and recognize the facial regions of input image. For the detection of face from complex region, skin segmentation isolates the face-like regions in a complex image and following operations of morphology and template matching rejects false matches to extract facial region. For the recognition of the face, the image database is now converted into a database of facial segments. Hence, implementing the technique of Elastic Bunch Graph matching (EBGM) after skin segmentation generates Face Bunch Graphs that acutely represents the features of an individual face enhances the quality of the training set. This increases the matching probability significantly.

description: The Office of Naval Research's Coupled Boundary Layers and Air–Sea Transfer (CBLAST) program is being conducted to investigate the processes that couple the marine boundary layers and govern the exchange of heat, mass, and momentum across the air–sea interface. CBLAST-LOW was designed to investigate these processes at the low-wind extreme where the processes are often driven or strongly modulated by buoyant forcing. The focus was on conditions ranging from negligible wind stress, where buoyant forcing dominates, up to wind speeds where wave breaking and Langmuir circulations play a significant role in the exchange processes. The field program provided observations from a suite of platforms deployed in the coastal ocean south of Martha's Vineyard. Highlights from the measurement campaigns include direct measurement of the momentum and heat fluxes on both sides of the air–sea interface using a specially constructed Air–Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT), and quantification of regional oceanic variability over scales of O (1–104 mm) using a mesoscale mooring array, aircraft-borne remote sensors, drifters, and ship surveys. To our knowledge, the former represents the first successful attempt to directly and simultaneously measure the heat and momentum exchange on both sides of the air–sea interface. The latter provided a 3D picture of the oceanic boundary layer during the month-long main experiment. These observations have been combined with numerical models and direct numerical and large-eddy simulations to investigate the processes that couple the atmosphere and ocean under these conditions. For example, the oceanic measurements have been used in the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to investigate the 3D evolution of regional ocean thermal stratification. The ultimate goal of these investigations is to incorporate improved parameterizations of these processes in coupled models such as the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) to improve marine forecasts of wind, waves, and currents.

description: We investigate the emission properties of a single semiconductor quantum dot deterministically coupled to a confined optical mode in the weak coupling regime. A strong pulling, broadening and narrowing of the cavity mode emission is evidenced when changing the spectral detuning between the emitter and the cavity. These features are theoretically accounted for by considering the phonon assisted emission of the quantum dot transition. These observations highlight a new situation for cavity quantum electrodynamics involving spectrally broad emitters.

description: The first climatology of airmass origin in the Arctic is presented in terms of rigorously defined airmass fractions that partition air according to where it last contacted the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Results from a present-day climate integration of the Goddard Earth Observing System Chemistry–Climate Model (GEOSCCM) reveal that the majority of air in the Arctic below 700 mb last contacted the PBL poleward of 60°N. By comparison, 62% (±0.8%) of the air above 700 mb originates over Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes (i.e., “midlatitude air”). Seasonal variations in the airmass fractions above 700 mb reveal that during boreal winter air from midlatitudes originates primarily over the oceans, with 26% (±1.9%) last contacting the PBL over the eastern Pacific, 21% (±0.87%) over the Atlantic, and 16% (±1.2%) over the western Pacific. During summer, by comparison, midlatitude air originates primarily over land, overwhelmingly so over Asia [41% (±1.0%)] and, to a lesser extent, over North America [24% (±1.5%)]. Seasonal variations in the airmass fractions are interpreted in terms of changes in the large-scale ventilation of the midlatitude boundary layer and the midlatitude tropospheric jet.

description: This paper provides an overview of the PACS photometer flux calibration concept, in particular for the principal observation mode, the scan map. The absolute flux calibration is tied to the photospheric models of five fiducial stellar standards (alpha Boo, alpha Cet, alpha Tau, beta And, gamma Dra). The data processing steps to arrive at a consistent and homogeneous calibration are outlined. In the current state the relative photometric accuracy is around 2% in all bands. Starting from the present calibration status, the characterization and correction for instrumental effects affecting the relative calibration accuracy is described and an outlook for the final achievable calibration numbers is given. After including all the correction for the instrumental effects, the relative photometric calibration accuracy (repeatability) will be as good as 0.5% in the blue and green band and 2% in the red band. This excellent calibration starts to reveal possible inconsistencies between the models of the K-type and the M-type stellar calibrators. The absolute calibration accuracy is therefore mainly limited by the 5% uncertainty of the celestial standard models in all three bands. The PACS bolometer response was extremely stable over the entire Herschel mission and a single, time-independent response calibration file is sufficient for the processing and calibration of the science observations. The dedicated measurements of the internal calibration sources were needed only to characterize secondary effects. No aging effects of the bolometer or the filters have been found. Also, we found no signs of filter leaks. The PACS photometric system is very well characterized with a constant energy spectrum nu*Fnu = lambda*Flambda = const as a reference. Colour corrections for a wide range of sources SEDs are determined and tabulated.

description: This study quantifies cloud–radiative anomalies associated with interannual variability in the latitude of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) midlatitude eddy-driven jet, in 20 global climate models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Two distinct model types are found. In the first class of models (type I models), total cloud fraction is reduced at SH midlatitudes as the jet moves poleward, contributing to enhanced shortwave radiative warming. In the second class of models (type II models), this dynamically induced cloud radiative warming effect is largely absent. Type I and type II models have distinct deficiencies in their representation of observed Southern Ocean clouds, but comparison with two independent satellite datasets indicates that the cloud–dynamics behavior of type II models is more realistic. Because the SH midlatitude jet shifts poleward in response to CO₂ forcing, the cloud–dynamics biases uncovered from interannual variability are directly relevant for climate change projections. In CMIP5 model experiments with abruptly quadrupled atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, the global-mean surface temperature initially warms more in type I models, even though their equilibrium climate sensitivity is not significantly larger. In type I models, this larger initial warming is linked to the rapid adjustment of the circulation and clouds to CO₂ forcing in the SH, where a nearly instantaneous poleward shift of the midlatitude jet is accompanied by a reduction in the reflection of solar radiation by clouds. In type II models, the SH jet also shifts rapidly poleward with CO₂ quadrupling, but it is not accompanied by cloud radiative warming anomalies, resulting in a smaller initial global-mean surface temperature warming.

description: Combining information from different sources is a common way to improve classification accuracy in Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI). For instance, in small sample settings it is useful to integrate data from other subjects or sessions in order to improve the estimation quality of the spatial filters or the classifier. Since data from different subjects may show large variability, it is crucial to weight the contributions according to importance. Many multi-subject learning algorithms determine the optimal weighting in a separate step by using heuristics, however, without ensuring that the selected weights are optimal with respect to classification. In this work we apply Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) to this problem. MKL has been widely used for feature fusion in computer vision and allows to simultaneously learn the classifier and the optimal weighting. We compare the MKL method to two baseline approaches and investigate the reasons for performance improvement.

description: Highly efficient anti-Stokes (AS) photoluminescence (PL) is observed from halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) due to their strong electron-phonon interactions. The AS PL is particularly intriguing as it suggests the potential for semiconductor optical cooling if the external quantum efficiency approaches 100%. However, the PL quantum efficiency in QDs is primarily dominated by multiparticle nonradiative Auger recombination processes under intense photoexcitation, which impose limits on the optical cooling gain. Here, we investigate the Auger recombination of dot-in-crystal perovskites. We quantitatively estimate the maximum optical cooling gain and the corresponding excitation intensity. We further conducted optical cooling experiments and demonstrate a maximum photo-cooling of approximately 9 K from room temperature. Additionally, we confirmed that increasing the excitation intensity leads to a transition from photo-cooling to photo-heating. These observations are consistent with our time-resolved measurements, offering insights into the potential and limitations of optical cooling in semiconductor QDs.

Numerical identification of a nonlinear diffusion law via regularization in Hilbert scales

description: We consider the reconstruction of a diffusion coefficient in a quasilinear elliptic problem from a single measurement of overspecified Neumann and Dirichlet data. The uniqueness for this parameter identification problem has been established by Cannon and we therefore focus on the stable solution in the presence of data noise. For this, we utilize a reformulation of the inverse problem as a linear ill-posed operator equation with perturbed data and operators. We are able to explicitly characterize the mapping properties of the corresponding operators which allow us to apply regularization in Hilbert scales. We can then prove convergence and convergence rates of the regularized reconstructions under very mild assumptions on the exact parameter. These are, in fact, already needed for the analysis of the forward problem and no additional source conditions are required. Numerical tests are presented to illustrate the theoretical statements.

Tidal and atmospheric influences on near-surface turbulence in an estuary

description: Estuarine near-surface turbulence is important for transport, mixing, and air-water exchanges of many important constituents but has rarely been studied in detail. Here, we analyze a unique set of estuarine observations of in situ atmospheric and full water column measurements, estimated air-sea exchanges, and acoustic measurements of several terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget. Observations from a 5.1 m deep site in the Hudson River estuary include dissipation at 50 cm depth (ɛ50), as well as profiles of TKE, shear production of TKE (P), and net turbulent vertical TKE transport (TD). Regressions suggest that the principal controlling factor for ɛ50 was wind (through the surface shear velocity, U*) and that the surface heat flux and tidal currents played a secondary role. For ebb spring tides, the TKE budget at 50 cm depth was closed within noise levels. Ebbs had high ɛ50 due to local shear production, which nearly balanced ɛ50. Floods had TD approaching P in the upper water column but generally weak near-surface shear and turbulence. Examining buoyancy fluxes that impact near-surface stratification and can indirectly control turbulence, solar heat input and tidal straining caused similar buoyancy fluxes on a sunny, calm weather day, promoting ebb tide restratification. Wind-driven mixing was found to dominate during a fall season storm event, and strong overnight heat loss after the storm helped delay restratification afterward. These results demonstrate the utility of combining detailed air-sea interaction and physical oceanographic measurements in future estuary studies.
