description: Atmospheric aerosol distributions from 2000 to 2007 are simulated with the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model to attribute light absorption by aerosol to its composition and sources from pollution, dust, and biomass burning. The 8-year, global averaged total aerosol optical depth (?), absorption optical depth (τa), and single scattering albedo (?) at 550 nm are estimated at 0.14, 0.0086, and 0.95, respectively, with sulfate making the largest fraction of ? (37%), followed by dust (30%), sea salt (16%), organic matter (OM) (13%), and black carbon (BC) (4%). BC and dust account for 43% and 53% of τa, respectively. From a model experiment with "tagged" sources, natural aerosols are estimated to be 58% of ? and 53% of τa, with pollution and biomass burning aerosols to share the rest. Comparing with data from the surface sunphotometer network AERONET, the model tends to reproduce much better the AERONET direct measured data of ? and the Ångström exponent (?) than its retrieved quantities of ? and τa. Relatively small in its systematic bias of ? for pollution and dust regions, the model tends to underestimate ? for biomass burning aerosols by 30–40%. The modeled ? is 0.2–0.3 too low (particle too large) for pollution and dust aerosols but 0.2–0.3 too high (particle too small) for the biomass burning aerosols, indicating errors in particle size distributions in the model. Still, the model estimated ? is lower in dust regions and shows a much stronger wavelength dependence for biomass burning aerosols but a weaker one for pollution aerosols than those quantities from AERONET. These comparisons necessitate model improvements on aerosol size distributions, the refractive indices of dust and black carbon aerosols, and biomass burning emissions in order to better quantify the aerosol absorption in the atmosphere.

description: Land surface reflectance measurements were acquired during the First ISLSCP Field Experiment (FIFE) field campaigns using a variety of ground-based and airborne spectral radiometers. To examine the validity of the assumption that the values acquired by the several different instruments and teams were interchangeable, the surface radiation measurement teams converged on a common site for 1 day during the fifth intensive field campaign (IFC 5) in 1989. The instruments compared for near-surface measurements included two ground-based Spectron Engineering SE59Os, one helicopter-mounted SE590, one ground-based and one helicopter-mounted Barnes modular multiband radiometer (MMR), and the portable apparatus for rapid acquisitions of bidirectional observations of land and atmosphere (PARABOLA) field radiometer. Comparisons were made for nadir measurements over a range of solar zenith angles and a range of off-nadir viewing angles. The bidirectional reflectances from the different instruments were generally found to be quite comparable. For example, for a 52° solar zenith angle, the nadir red and near-infrared spectral reflectance factors ranged from 3.5 to 4.5% and 28.2 to 31.9%, respectively. At the smaller solar zenith angles, however, the differences were somewhat greater (red, 4.5–6.1%; near-infrared (NIR), 25.0–28.9%), and the coefficients of variation for the samples taken by all of the instruments increased. Off-nadir viewing caused major departures from nadir bidirectional reflectances (30% reflectance at nadir compared with 55% at 60° off nadir in the NIR, for example), but all of the instruments captured the effects reasonably well. Spectral vegetation indices were found to have a considerable dependence on both solar zenith angle and sensor viewing angle. In spite of the general agreement between most instruments and teams, the lack of a more consistent band-to-band agreement resulted in appreciable differences in the spectral vegetation index values, which could potentially affect the accuracy and precision of remote sensing assessments of biophysical parameters.
The impedance of a rocket-borne capacitive ionospheric probe
Creators: name: Herman, Jay
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1964

description: In a recent paper Herman [1964] obtained an expression for the expected impedance of a capacitive ionospheric probe as a function of electron density N, collision frequency v, temperature T, magnetic field H, and rocket attitude ? with respect to the magnetic field. It was assumed, however, that the magnetic field was along the rocket's axis of symmetry. This restriction is easily removed. The ratio of the probe capacitance C? to its free space value C0 is given by (1) where Ei = ith component of the electric field. ?ij = the complex dielectric tensor, Di = ?ij Ej ?0 = dielectric constant of free space.

description: Satellite-based cloud, aerosol, and trace-gas retrievals from ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) wavelengths depend on the accurate representation of surface reflectivity. Current UV and Vis retrieval algorithms typically use surface reflectivity climatologies that do not account for variation in satellite viewing geometry or surface roughness. The concept of geometry-dependent surface Lambertian-equivalent reflectivity (GLER) is implemented for water surfaces to account for surface anisotropy using a Case 1 water optical model and the Cox–Munk slope distribution for ocean surface roughness. GLER is compared with Lambertian-Equivalent reflectivity (LER) derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) for clear scenes at 354, 388, 440, and 466 nm. We show that GLER compares well with the measured LER data over the open ocean and captures the directionality effects not accounted for in climatological LER databases. Small biases are seen when GLER and the OMI-derived LER are compared. GLER is biased low by up to 0.01–0.02 at Vis wavelengths and biased high by around 0.01 in the UV, particularly at 354 nm. Our evaluation shows that GLER is an improvement upon climatological LER databases as it compares well with OMI measurements and captures the directionality effects of surface reflectance.
Measurements of O3, SO2, NO2 and HCHO column amounts using a Brewer spectrometer
Creators: name: Cede, Alexander
name: Herman, Jay
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2005

description: O3, SO2 and NO2 vertical column amounts and aerosol optical depths at 18 wavelengths from 303 to 363nm were measured daily for the past two years by using a Brewer MK3 double spectrometer in direct-sun mode. The algorithms used are described and compared to the standard algorithm. For O3 and SO2 the standard algorithm was modified by using all 6 measured wavelengths instead of only 4 or 5 and by including a correction for the diffuse irradiance entering the instrument's field of view. This reduces the statistical error of the retrievals by 40% and 50%, respectively, for O3 and SO2. The NO2 retrievals are based on a spectral fitting technique using wavelengths between 349 and 363nm. A 'Bootstrap method' has been developed to calibrate the Brewer for NO2 measurements. This method selects data with lowest NO2-amounts and uses them to derive the needed extraterrestrial solar spectrum. We discuss possible reasons why an intent to apply to same technique for deriving total HCHO columns failed. The main advantage of direct sun methods compared to Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy DOAS is that the uncertainty in the air mass factor is significantly smaller. We think that a better correction for the diffuse irradiance entering the instrument's field of view will further improve the retrievals, especially in the low wavelength range (303 to 320nm) used for O3 and SO2.

description: Sparse basis recovery is an important learning problem when the number of model dimensions (p) is much larger than the number of samples (n). However, there has been little work that studies sparse basis recovery in the Federated Learning (FL) setting, where the Differential Privacy (DP) of the client data must also be simultaneously protected. Notably, the performance guarantees of existing DP-FL algorithms (such as DP-SGD) will degrade significantly when the system is ill-determined (i.e., p >> n), and thus they will fail to accurately learn the true underlying sparse model. The goal of my thesis is therefore to develop DP-FL sparse basis recovery algorithms that can recover the true underlying sparse basis provably accurately even when p >> n, yet still guaranteeing the differential privacy of the client data.During my PhD studies, we developed three DP-FL sparse basis recovery algorithms for this purpose. Our first algorithm, SPriFed-OMP, based on the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm, can achieve high accuracy even when n = O(\sqrt{p}) under the stronger Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) assumption for least-square problems. Our second algorithm, Humming-Bird, based on a carefully modified variant of the Forward-Backward Algorithm (FoBA), can achieve differentially private sparse recovery for the same setup while requiring the much weaker Restricted Strong Convexity (RSC) condition. We further extend Humming-Bird to support loss functions beyond least-square satisfying the RSC condition. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first DP-FL results guaranteeing sparse basis recovery in the p >> n setting.

description: Learning-based components applied to a plethora of use cases within smart grids are already a reality. These methods will undoubtedly play a key role in future energy systems.
This paper addresses challenges in the field of adversarial attacks against learning-based models in the context of smart grids. We identify unexplored areas and potential improvements in current methodologies by categorizing attacks, and assessing their ability to be reproduced. Our survey showed a noticeable resistance to distributing experimental code. Additionally, we propose the integration of explainable artificial intelligence techniques into adversarial models. We carry out an initial experiment to showcase the possible effects of this integration, offering fresh perspectives on the behavior and vulnerabilities of learning-based models within smart grids. Our initial findings provide a basis for further investigation into adversarial attacks, with a special focus on use cases that affect electrical substation security. Finally, we outline the next steps of our research in this critical area.

description: Sun photometers operating in the strong water vapor absorption 940-nm combination-vibrational band have been used to determine water column abundance in the atmosphere when the path to the Sun is clear of clouds. We describe a procedure to perform a rapid determination of the water column abundance, using sun photometers with an accuracy that is easily comparable to that of the radiosondes. The effect of parameters, such as filter bandwidth, atmospheric lapse rate, and the water vapor amount, on the accuracy of the retrieved abundance is examined. It is seen that a narrow filter band of approximately 10-nm bandwidth, positioned at the peak of absorption, is quite insensitive to the type of atmosphere present during calibration or measurement with less than 1% variability under extreme atmospheric conditions. A comparison of the retrieved water column abundance using sun photometers with contemporaneously measured values using radiosondes and microwave radiometers shows that the latest version of the radiative transfer algorithm used in this procedure, MODTRAN-3, gives far superior results in comparison with earlier versions because of the use of improved absorption coefficients in the 940-nm bands. Results from a network of sun photometers spread throughout the globe will be discussed.

description: The possibility of using shape mixtures of randomly oriented spheroids for modeling desert dust aerosol light scattering is discussed. For reducing calculation time, look-up tables were simulated for quadrature coefficients employed in the numerical integration of spheroid optical properties over size and shape. The calculations were done for 25 bins of the spheroid axis ratio ranging from ?0.3 (flattened spheroids) to ?3.0 (elongated spheroids) and for 41 narrow size bins covering the size parameter range from ?0.012 to ?625. The look-up tables were arranged into a software package, which allows fast, accurate, and flexible modeling of scattering by randomly oriented spheroids with different size and shape distributions. In order to evaluate spheroid model and explore the possibility of aerosol shape identification, the software tool has been integrated into inversion algorithms for retrieving detailed aerosol properties from laboratory or remote sensing polarimetric measurements of light scattering. The application of this retrieval technique to laboratory measurements by Volten et al. (2001) has shown that spheroids can closely reproduce mineral dust light scattering matrices. The spheroid model was utilized for retrievals of aerosol properties from atmospheric radiation measured by AERONET ground-based Sun/sky-radiometers. It is shown that mixtures of spheroids allow rather accurate fitting of measured spectral and angular dependencies of observed intensity and polarization. Moreover, it is shown that for aerosol mixtures with a significant fraction of coarse-mode particles (radii ? ?1 ?m), the nonsphericity of aerosol particles can be detected as part of AERONET retrievals. The retrieval results indicate that nonspherical particles with aspect ratios ?1.5 and higher dominate in desert dust plumes, while in the case of background maritime aerosol spherical particles are dominant. Finally, the potential of using AERONET derived spheroid mixtures for modeling the effects of aerosol particle nonsphericity in other remote sensing techniques is discussed. For example, the variability of lidar measurements (extinction to backscattering ratio and signal depolarization ratio) is illustrated and analyzed. Also, some potentially important differences in the sensitivity of angular light scattering to parameters of nonspherical versus spherical aerosols are revealed and discussed.

description: AbstractAn adolescent boy with newly diagnosed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia developed right eye and facial pain, and a 1 cm × 2 cm area of black eschar over his hard palate. Initial differential diagnosis included rhinocerebral mucormycosis and aspergillosis, and he was started on liposomal amphotericin B. Later, he underwent nine surgical debridements of his sinus cavities, resection of a third of his palate and right orbital exenteration. While histological specimens exhibited features of both Aspergillus and Mucor, a PCR assay detected Penicillium chrysogenum He was successfully treated with amphotericin B and Posaconazole. P. chrysogenum has been reported in a rare case of endocarditis, a case of post-traumatic endophthalmitis, disseminated infection in a child with Henoch-Schonlein syndrome, and one fatal adult case of invasive rhinosinusitis. While infection from Penicillium species is rare, it should be considered as a cause of invasive rhinosinusitis in cases of unclear histopathology.

description: Abstract A method is described that enables the use of lunar irradiance to obtain nighttime aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements using a small-aperture photometer. In this approach, the U.S. Geological Survey lunar calibration system was utilized to provide high-precision lunar exoatmospheric spectral irradiance predictions for a ground-based sensor location, and when combined with ground measurement viewing geometry, provided the column optical transmittance for retrievals of AOD. Automated multiwavelength lunar measurements were obtained using an unmodified Cimel-318 sunphotometer sensor to assess existing capabilities and enhancements needed for day/night operation in NASA’s Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Results show that even existing photometers can provide the ability for retrievals of aerosol optical depths at night near full moon. With an additional photodetector signal-to-noise improvement of 10–100, routine use over the bright half of the lunar phase and a much wider range of wavelengths and conditions can be achieved. Although the lunar cycle is expected to limit the frequency of observations to 30%–40% compared to solar measurements, nevertheless this is an attractive extension of AERONET capabilities.

description: The present portfolio illustrates the development of a trainee sport and exercise psychologist on a professional doctorate programme from January 2018, through March 2024, conducted through Liverpool John Moores University. More specifically, this portfolio provides insight into the trainee’s development and fulfilment of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health Care Professional Council’s (HCPC) respective required standards for sport and exercise psychology accreditation. These standards (professional standards, consultancy, research, and dissemination) are explored and reflected upon throughout this portfolio. Detailed professional practice and reflective practice logs outline the trainee’s experiences throughout her time on the programme accompanied by a reflective account of her development within each of the four competencies. Consultancy case studies, followed by a consultancy contract and report, provide insight into the trainee’s applied sport psychology practice in various sports and with a variation of clients, with a focus on the holistic development of clients through a foundation in humanistic values. Following this, a teaching case study and teaching diary illustrate critical, reflective accounts of the trainee’s engagement and development with teaching and dissemination across sport and academia. Subsequently, this thesis provides a systematic review exploring women’s experiences of sexism in sport, an empirical study exploring mental health conceptualisations in Premier League football academies, and an empirical study examining women’s experiences of sexism in sport. Finally, a reflective commentary reflects upon the trainee’s development experience and the importance of continued holistic development, authenticity, and congruency.

description: This paper investigates to what extent satellite measurements of atmospheric properties can be reconciled with fine-resolution land imagery, in order to improve the estimates of surface reflectance through physically based atmospheric correction. The analysis deals with mountainous area (Landsat scene of Peruvian Amazon/Andes, 72°E and 13°S), where the atmosphere is highly variable. Data from satellite sensors were used for characterization of the key atmospheric constituents: total water vapor (TWV), aerosol optical depth (AOD), and total ozone. Constituent time series revealed the season-dependent mean state of the atmosphere and its variability. Discrepancies between AOD from the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) highlighted substantial uncertainty of atmospheric aerosol properties. The distribution of TWV and AOD over a Landsat scene was found to be exponentially related to ground elevation (mean R2 of 0.82 and 0.29, respectively). In consequence, the atmosphere-induced and seasonally varying bias of the top-of-atmosphere signal was also elevation dependent (e.g., mean Normalized Difference Vegetation Index bias at 500 m was 0.06 and at 4000 m was 0.01). We demonstrate that satellite measurements of key atmospheric constituents can be downscaled and gap filled with the proposed “background + anomalies” approach, to allow for a better compatibility with fine-resolution land surface imagery. Older images (i.e., predating the MODIS/ATSR era), without coincident atmospheric data, can be corrected using climatologies derived from time series of satellite retrievals. Averaging such climatologies over space compromises the quality of correction result to a much greater degree than averaging them over time. We conclude that the quality of both recent and older fine-resolution land surface imagery can be improved with satellite-based atmospheric data acquired to date.

description: Die vorliegende Ausarbeitung versteht sich als Handbuch zur Nutzung des bereitgestellten ArcGIS-Pro-Modells. Das Modell eignet sich zur (halb-)automatisierten Durchführung der Berechnung von Grundlagen für daraus abzuleitende Wärmeversorgungsoptionen (iterativ und nicht-iterativ). Neben der Berechnung dieser wesentlichen Parameter werden für die zu präferierenden Versorgungsarten (Einzelversorgung, Nahwärme in verschiedenen Ausführungen, Fernwärme sowie indifferente Über-gangsbereiche) aussagekräftige Visualisierungen anhand der vorgegebenen Eingangsparameter für ein ausgewähltes Gebiet erzeugt. Die Benutzbarkeit ist möglichst einfach gestaltet. Als Input werden im Wesentlichen vier Vorgaben benötigt: das Untersuchungsgebiet (als Polygonfläche), das gewünschte Gitter (ebenfalls als Polygon-fläche), auf welches die Daten aggregiert werden sollen, ein Straßennetz im Untersuchungsgebiet (welches als Grundlage für den möglichen Verlauf von Wärmenetzen angenommen wird) und gebäudescharfe Wärmebedarfsdaten (z. B. aus vorhandenem Wärmeatlas des Energieversorgers/ Netzbetreibers). Im Ergebnis erhält man nach Durchlaufen der Modellschritte folgende Kennwerte zur Charakterisierung der Wärmeabnehmerstruktur: Anzahl der Wärmeabnehmer, Wärmebedarf je Rasterzelle, Wärmenetzlänge und aggregierte Netzlänge je Rasterzelle sowie durchschnittliche Netzlänge, Wärmeliniendichte je Rasterzelle und Benennung der favorisierten Wärmeversorgungs-option je Rasterzelle. Vorhandene Modellrestriktionen (Straßennetzqualität, präzise Gebäudestandorte, aussagekräftige Wärmebedarfsdaten verschiedener Sektoren) sowie die Einordnung der Ergebnisse über verschiedene Entwicklungsszenarien (insbesondere Bevölkerung, Sanierung, Klima) werden im Schlusskapitel diskutiert.

description: Regional and seasonal variations in global cloud cover observed by the Nimbus-7 satellite over 1 year are analyzed by examining the 4 midseason months—April, July and October 1979 and January 1980. The Nimbus-7 data set is generated from the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) 11.5 micron radiances together with Total Ozone Mapping Spectometer (TOMS)-derived UV reflectivities, climatological atmospheric temperature lapse rates, and concurrent surface temperature and snow/ice information from the Air Force three-dimensional-nephanalysis (3DN) archive. The analysis presented here includes total cloud amount, cloud amounts at high, middle and low altitudes, cirrus and deep convective clouds and cloud and cloud-sky 11.5 micron-derived radiances. Also, noon versus midnight cloud amounts are examined and the Nimbus-7 data are compared to three previously published cloud climatologies. The Nimbus-7 bispectral algorithm gives a monthly mean global noontime cloud cover of 51%, averaged over the 4 months. When only the IR is used, this cloud cover is 49% at noontime and 56% at midnight, indicating that the Earth's cloud cover has a substantial diurnal cycle. Each hemisphere shows a cloud cover maximum in its summer and a minimum in its winter. The Southern Hemisphere shows more clouds than the Northern Hemisphere except for the month of July. The difference between the cloud-top and clear-scene radiance has maxima in the equatorial cloud belt and minima in the polar regions. Because of thew polar minima and the frequent presence of snow, Nimbus-7 cloud traction estimates are less reliable in the polar regions. In the tropics the data show more clouds at midnight than at noon. Over the tropical ocean, overcast regions show lower cloud top radiation temperatures at noon than at midnight, but over land the reverse occurs. In July, cloud amounts in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) peak at about 10°N latitude with local maxima greater than 70% around the west coasts of Africa and Central America, and from India east to the dateline. Cloud-top radiances indicate that mid- and high-level clouds predominate in the ITCZ, with 5% to 15% each of cirrus and deep convective clouds, respectively. In January, the peak of the ITCZ shifts to 10°S with local cloud maxima greater than 90% over Brazil and to the north and northwest of Australia. Comparison is made with several other cloud data sets, including a look at the new preliminary International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) results. There are considerable differences among the several data sets examined.
