A high-resolution dynamic dust source has been developed in the NASA Unified-Weather Research and Forecasting (NU-WRF) model to improve the existing coarse static dust source. In the new dust source map, topographic depression is in 1-km resolution and surface bareness is derived using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The new dust source better resolves the complex topographic distribution over the Western United...

Experimental and theoretical studies of low-frequency, long-range sound propagation through a fluctuating ocean are important for many practical problems, e.g. source detection and ranging, communication, and acoustic tomography. The coherence of low-frequency sound waves propagating over megameter distances diminishes noticeably due to sound scattering by internal gravity waves. As a result, the performance of large acoustic arrays degrades. To experimentally study low-frequency, long-range...

The long-term goal is to improve the prediction of traveling solar disturbances which impact the geospace environment. Such disturbances, which are associated with both coronal holes and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched from the Sun, can cause substantial geomagnetic effects, including the crippling of satellites, disruption of radio communications, and damage to electric power grids.

The goal of this research is to contribute to the understanding of atmospheric predictability on intraseasonal and longer time scales. This involves understanding the nature and source of the predictability in the oceans and the physical processes by which that predictable signal is ultimately realized and coupled into the atmosphere. A better understanding of air-sea interactions is critical to this goal because most of the modes of variability (the diurnal cycle, Madden-Julian Oscillations -...

The National Marine Fisheries Service began annual studies in 2001 to evaluate the efficacy of transporting Snake River fall Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha smolts from Lower Snake River hydropower projects. From 2001 through 2003, we tagged hatchery subyearling fall Chinook salmon at Lyons Ferry Hatchery and released them 81 km above Lower Granite Dam at Snake River kilometer 254. In 2004, this tagging routine was interrupted due to a lack of available subyearling fall Chinook salmon...

The GOES-R magnetometer subsystem accuracy requirement is 1.7 nanoteslas (nT). During quiet times (100 nT), accuracy is defined as absolute mean plus 3 sigma. During storms (300 nT), accuracy is defined as absolute mean plus 2 sigma. Error comes both from outside the magnetometers, e.g. spacecraft fields and misalignments, as well as inside, e.g. zero offset and scale factor errors. Because zero offset and scale factor drift over time, it will be necessary to perform annual calibration...

Animals often increase the amplitude (the Lombard effect), duration, and/or repetition rate of their acoustic signals as a strategy to help reduce the probability of masking from environmental sounds (NRC 2003). Although accumulating evidence from recent research (Scheifele et al. 2005, Holt et al. 2009, Parks et al. 2010) illustrates that several marine mammal species readily modify the parameters of their acoustic signals to compensate for masking noise, potential energetic costs of such...

The GOES-R magnetometer accuracy requirement is 1.7 nanoteslas (nT). During quiet times (100 nT), accuracy is defined as absolute mean plus 3 sigma. During storms (300 nT), accuracy is defined as absolute mean plus 2 sigma. To achieve this, the sensor itself has better than 1 nT accuracy. Because zero offset and scale factor drift over time, it is also necessary to perform annual calibration maneuvers. To predict performance, we used covariance analysis and attempted to corroborate it with...
