This document discusses using MODIS time-series data and eddy-covariance flux data to analyze phenological patterns in boreal forests. The research aims to determine the reliability of using satellite-derived NDVI data compared to ground-based CO2 flux data for identifying the start and end dates of the growing season. The study area is located in Hyytiälä, Finland. 10 years of MODIS NDVI and eddy covariance CO2 flux data from 2003-2012 are analyzed to compare the growing season start and end dates derived from each dataset. The results show some differences in the timing identified by the two methods, highlighting challenges in accurately determining phenological transition dates.

Trial and error in determining carbon budgets at policy relevant scalesIntegrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
This document discusses regional and country-scale carbon budgets. It begins by outlining some issues with mesoscale models and uncertainties in regional budgets due to limited observations. It then discusses efforts to close carbon budgets at continental scales and compares bottom-up and top-down estimates, finding large discrepancies. The document presents several case studies of carbon budget modeling and inversion for the Netherlands and Germany, comparing modeled fluxes to aircraft observations. It concludes by discussing reducing uncertainties in carbon budgets by bridging scales from global to regional to local through integrated surface, aircraft and potential satellite observations.Observing methane flux distributions using high resolution air-borne mapping

This document discusses the challenges of characterizing air pollution using remote sensing observations over China. It describes the seven dimensions of data - spatial, height, time, particle size, composition, shape, and mixing - needed to fully characterize air pollution. While each individual observation method or data set has limitations, together they can provide consistent global-scale observations. There remain significant challenges to integrating data from multiple sensors to accurately measure air pollution. International collaboration combining global satellite data with detailed local observations in China may help advance progress in addressing this issue.

Chen, Huilin: Comparisons of AirCore vertical profiles of greenhouse gases fr...Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
This document discusses comparisons of vertical profile measurements of greenhouse gases from an intensive campaign using AirCore samplers at Sodankylä, Finland. It finds that AirCore is a cost-effective tool for stratospheric measurements, with uncertainties of 0.15-0.2 ppm for CO2 and 4-7 ppb for CO. Differences between AirCore profiles were mostly within these uncertainties, though tubing coatings could cause larger CO2 differences. Altitude registration uncertainty was typically around 2 hPa. Future work includes a campaign in Kiruna, Sweden to further improve accuracy of CO measurements and altitude registration.Pre-Injection Assessment of Time-Lapse Seismic Repeatability at the Aquistore...

The document describes an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer (IFTS) intended to provide atmospheric measurements of the Arctic region from a highly elliptical orbit. The IFTS would measure pressure, temperature, and concentrations of gases like O2, CH4, and CO2 to improve understanding of climate change, methane hydrate releases, and air quality in the Arctic. A balloon mission is planned to test the instrument at a technology readiness level of 7. The IFTS design uses a commercial Michelson interferometer with a diode laser, beam splitter, and double-axis mirror pointing system to collect interferograms at 100 frames per second with 0.25 cm-1 spectral resolution across two wavelength channels.

The TropiSCAT experiment aims to characterize vegetation using polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PolInSAR) data at multiple frequencies. It involves collecting backscattering measurements and coherence data from antennas mounted on a 55m tower in French Guiana. Initial results show high coherence on the tower and influence of soil moisture. Diurnal and daily coherence is being analyzed to interpret temporal variations and validate models. The experiment will be expanded to include 20 antennas for improved tomography.

1) The document discusses using measurements of carbon-14 (14CO2) in the atmosphere to estimate fossil fuel CO2 emissions, which are devoid of carbon-14.
2) It presents the results of an observing system simulation experiment using hypothetical measurements of CO2 and 14CO2 at 43 sites to constrain fluxes through Bayesian inversion.
3) The results show that inversions using both CO2 and 14CO2 data provide tighter constraints on fossil fuel emissions than using CO2 data alone, demonstrating the potential of 14CO2 observations for monitoring anthropogenic emissions.49 collaboration with swedish deep drilling project dobson lbnl
This document discusses collaboration between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Uppsala University on the Swedish Deep Drilling Project (COSC). The COSC project aims to drill two deep boreholes (COSC-1 and COSC-2) to study geological structures and characterize basement rocks and hydrology. COSC-1 will drill through the Seve Nappe to study channel flow, reaching a depth of 2.5 km with 100% core recovery. Funded activities for COSC-1 include logging the borehole to detect flowing fractures, modeling fluid flow, analyzing microbial communities in fractures, characterizing water compositions, and studying fractured core samples.
igarss_2011_breunig_DLR_TDM_water_mask.ppt
This document describes a concept for detecting water bodies from TanDEM-X radar data. The goal is to produce a global water indication mask to help process the TanDEM-X digital elevation model. The method uses amplitude and coherence images with filtering and thresholding to identify water pixels while excluding other areas like desert or steep terrain. An evaluation on a test site of the River Elbe showed the method could correctly identify over 80% of water bodies larger than 1 hectare when combining amplitude and coherence data. Future work will assess the method in different climate zones and produce a mosaicked global water mask product to help further process the TanDEM-X DEM.
ÖNCEL AKADEMİ: INTRODUCTION TO GEOPHYSICS

Constraining terrestrial carbon fluxes by assimilating the SMOS soil moisture...Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
1) The study assimilated SMOS soil moisture observations into a terrestrial biosphere model to quantify the added value of soil moisture data for constraining terrestrial carbon fluxes compared to assimilating only atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
2) Assimilating both soil moisture and CO2 observations led to greater reductions in uncertainties of carbon fluxes and process parameters than assimilating CO2 observations alone.
3) The results demonstrate the potential of jointly assimilating remotely sensed soil moisture with atmospheric CO2 observations to improve estimates and uncertainties of global carbon fluxes from land to the atmosphere.4_bindlish_igarss2011.pptx
The document evaluates SMAP soil moisture algorithms using SMOS data. SMOS data was reprocessed to simulate SMAP observations at 40 degrees incidence angle. The Single Channel Algorithm was implemented using this SMOS/SMAP data set with different ancillary datasets. Initial results show the SCA using MODIS data performs well compared to in situ observations. Using vegetation polarization also performs satisfactorily, though vegetation parameters may need to be specific to land cover types to reduce bias in different areas. Overall results indicate SMAP algorithms can meet the target 0.04 m3/m3 accuracy requirement with further analysis and research. This evaluation will help select and develop the SMAP passive level 2 soil moisture algorithm.
2_3398_IGARS2011.pptx
This document summarizes the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) combined radar-radiometer soil moisture retrieval algorithm. The algorithm uses a linear relationship between radar backscatter and radiometer brightness temperature to disaggregate coarse resolution radiometer data to a 9km resolution soil moisture product. It incorporates radar cross-polarization measurements to account for heterogeneity in vegetation and surface roughness. Validation using airborne data shows the algorithm meets SMAP's soil moisture accuracy requirements of 0.033 cm3/cm3. Future work includes optimizing the temporal window and developing error budgets and parameter databases.
2003-10-10 The Dirt on Dust
1. Dust samples collected in Carlsbad, NM and areas of Asia were found to contain trace amounts of radioactive elements like plutonium, likely due to resuspension of soils contaminated by fallout from nuclear weapons testing.
2. Analysis of the samples showed relationships between plutonium, aluminum, and other elements that provide clues about the sources and transport of contaminated dust.
3. However, the sources and behavior of elements like calcium during long-range dust transport remain unclear and require further study to understand differences between source regions and the effects of weathering.

This document discusses the importance of long-term environmental and physiological data for understanding and predicting forest ecosystem functioning. It outlines the current data and modeling paradigms in forest science, including empirical models based on long-term forestry data and process models based on eco-physiological data. The challenges of predicting climate change impacts are discussed. Long-term, high-quality monitoring data from networks like ICP Forest and ICOS are invaluable for detecting trends, testing hypotheses, parameterizing models, and data-model assimilation. The conclusions emphasize that understanding climate impacts is more difficult than expected, requiring eco-evolutionary modeling and continued long-term eco-physiological research at sites like ICOS.Bakker, Dorothee C.

The document summarizes the value chain of ocean CO2 measurements from collection to synthesis products and applications. Measurements of interior ocean carbon and other variables are compiled in GLODAP, while surface ocean fCO2 measurements from various platforms are compiled in SOCAT. SOCAT contains over 28 million fCO2 values and is used to track increases in surface ocean CO2 and map global surface ocean pCO2 and air-sea CO2 fluxes. SOCAT data underpins estimates of the ocean carbon sink and its variability, which challenges models. SOCAT is highly cited and supports sensor evaluation, model evaluation, and studies of the ocean carbon sink and ocean acidification.TU1.L10 - Arctic Sea Ice dynamics for Global Climate Models: Results from the...

Os cientistas usando o Telescópio Espacial Hubble da NASA/ESA produziram novos mapas de Júpiter, que mostram as contínuas mudanças que ocorrem com a famosa Grande Mancha Vermelha. As imagens também revelam uma rara estrutura em forma de onda na atmosfera do planeta que não tinha sido vista por décadas. A nova imagem é a primeira de uma série de retratos anuais dos planetas externos do Sistema Solar, que nos darão um novo olhar desses mundos remotos, e ajudarão os cientistas a estudarem como eles mudam com o passar do tempo.
Nessa nova imagem de Júpiter, uma grande quantidade de feições foi capturada incluindo ventos, nuvens e tempestades. Os cientistas por trás dessas novas imagens, as obtiveram usando a Wide Field Camera 3 do Hubble, num período de observação de mais de 10 horas e produziram assim dois mapas completos do planeta, a partir das suas observações. Esses mapas fizeram com que fosse possível determinar a velocidade dos ventos em Júpiter, com a finalidade de identificar diferentes fenômenos na sua atmosfera além de traquear as suas feições mais famosas.
As novas imagens confirmam que a grande tempestade que tem existido na superfície de nuvens de Júpiter por no mínimo 300 anos, continua a encolher, mas mesmo que desapareça, ela irá morrer lutando. A tempestade, conhecida como Grande Mancha Vermelha, é vista aqui fazendo seus movimentos em espiral no centro da imagem do planeta. Ela tem diminuído de tamanho de maneira muito rápida de ano em ano. Mas agora, a taxa de encolhimento parece ter reduzido novamente, mesmo apesar da mancha ser cerca de 240 quilômetros menor do que era em 2014.

This document discusses research on measuring reaction rate coefficients for reactions of the CN radical with various hydrocarbon molecules like propane, propylene, and butadiene at high temperatures representative of circumstellar envelopes of asymptotic giant branch stars. The research uses a high enthalpy source to generate a high temperature flow containing CN radicals, which are then reacted with the hydrocarbon species. Laser-induced fluorescence is used to monitor the CN radicals and determine reaction rate coefficients as a function of temperature from 1000-2200 K. The research aims to provide important kinetic data to understand chemical processes in the envelopes of evolved stars.

This research summarizes measurements taken during the COPE-MED field campaign to better understand warm rain processes and entrainment effects on heavy precipitation. LWC probes were compared and generally agreed well, though the PVM overestimated LWC at higher concentrations and smaller diameters. A LWC survey with vertical statistics was conducted. Analysis of droplet spectra bimodality from low-precipitation cases found evidence of bimodality but secondary activation was unlikely the cause, with the bimodality mechanism remaining unclear. Future COPE analysis will utilize these LWC and bimodality findings to evaluate hypotheses regarding warm rain processes and entrainment impacts on heavy precipitation.

This document discusses research on measuring reaction rate coefficients for reactions of the CN radical with various hydrocarbon molecules like propane, propylene, and butadiene at high temperatures representative of circumstellar envelopes of asymptotic giant branch stars. The research uses a high enthalpy source to generate a high temperature flow containing CN radicals, which are then reacted with the hydrocarbon species. Laser-induced fluorescence is used to monitor the CN radicals and determine reaction rate coefficients as a function of temperature from 1000-2200 K. The research aims to provide important kinetic data to understand chemical processes in the envelopes of evolved stars.

This research summarizes measurements taken during the COPE-MED field campaign to better understand warm rain processes and entrainment effects on heavy precipitation. LWC probes were compared and generally agreed well, though the PVM overestimated LWC at higher concentrations and smaller diameters. A LWC survey with vertical statistics was conducted. Analysis of droplet spectra bimodality from low-precipitation cases found evidence of bimodality but secondary activation was unlikely the cause, with the bimodality mechanism remaining unclear. Future COPE analysis will utilize these LWC and bimodality findings to evaluate hypotheses regarding warm rain processes and entrainment impacts on heavy precipitation.

Kivekäs acp 2014 ship contribution to particle number (1)
“The ships sailing along the main shipping lane at the west coast
of Jutland Are responsible for 5 to 8 % of the number of all
particles at western Jutland, and between 4 and 8 % of the
particle mass concentration. The estimate from this measurement study
is however a gross underestimation of the true influence of the
shipping activity in the North Sea, since with the current method
that we used, we were not able to register the influence of all ships
sailing in the North Sea. So, in reality, we expect a much higher number.
In other words: The 5-8 % and 4 to 8 % number has to be considered
as a lower estimate. Hence, shipping is contributing to nanoparticles
downwind of major shipping lanes, which have dangerous health effects.
Since, we were able to account for the pollution from only one shipping lane
in the North Sea in the above study, we continued with the next study during
2016, using a different method, where we could study the influence from multiple ship lanes:

- Heavier precipitation and longer/more intense droughts are effects of climate change.
- Satellite measurements of greenhouse gases like CO2, CH4, N2O can provide global coverage but require complex retrieval algorithms to account for atmospheric conditions.
- Newer retrieval techniques like using merged fitting windows have improved accuracy for scenes with thin cirrus clouds compared to earlier techniques.

Introduction
Ship tracks are widely seen as one of the most prominent
manifestations of anthropogenic aerosol indirect effects
(AIEs), or the change in cloud properties by anthropogenic
aerosols serving as cloud condensation nuclei. A very uncertain
and scientifically interesting question, however, is about
the climatically relevant large-scale forcing by AIEs due to
ship emissions.
In the past decades, a whole suite of AIE-hypotheses has
been put forward of which the “Twomey-effect”, or first AIE,
is the most prominent. For this effect, an increase in available
cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) eventually leads to
more and smaller cloud droplets if the liquid water content of
the respective cloud remains constant. More cloud droplets
increase the total droplet surface area by which the cloud
albedo is enhanced; an effect which was put into the general
context of anthropogenic pollution by Twomey (1974). Other
AIE-hypotheses include effects on cloud lifetime (Albrecht,
1989; Small et al., 2009) or cloud top height (Koren et al.,
2005; Devasthale et al., 2005). Especially the latter hypotheses
are far from being verified (e.g. Stevens and Feingold,
2009). In total, AIEs are subject to the largest uncertainties

of all radiative forcing (RF) components of the Earth System,
when it comes to assessing human induced climate change
(Forster et al., 2007). However, there exists broad consensus
that on global average, AIEs have a cooling effect on the
Earth System with the most recent multi-model estimate being
−0.7 ± 0.5 W m−2
(Quaas et al., 2009).

Wu, Mousong: Using SMOS soil moisture data combining CO2 flask samples to con...Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
This document summarizes research using soil moisture data from the SMOS satellite and CO2 flask samples to constrain carbon fluxes within a carbon cycle data assimilation system from 2010-2015. The researchers found that assimilating soil moisture data improved the model's representation of carbon cycle variability, fluxes, and correlations with climate indices compared to using CO2 data alone. Additionally, combining soil moisture and vegetation optical data helped reduce uncertainties in modeled tropical region carbon fluxes. Overall, the study demonstrates that multiple remote sensing data sources can better constrain global carbon cycle modeling than any single dataset alone.Sano_IGARSS2011.ppt
The document presents a method to retrieve properties of biomass burning aerosols using a combination of near-UV radiance measurements from the GOSAT/CAI sensor and near-IR polarimetry measurements from the PARASOL/POLDER sensor. The method involves estimating ground reflectance, atmospheric light, aerosol models using refractive indices, vertical aerosol profiles from CALIPSO data, and retrieving aerosol optical thickness, Angstrom exponent and single scattering albedo. Validation with AERONET data shows the retrieved aerosol optical thickness and Angstrom exponent values match partially. The method demonstrates the biomass burning aerosol properties vary over plumes with optical depth and Angstrom exponent
Sea_Surface_Salinity_and_Lband_Radiometric_measurements_CAROLS_SMOS.pdf
This document summarizes airborne L-band radiometric measurements made by the CAROLS and SMOS instruments in the Gulf of Biscay in November 2010. CAROLS collected active microwave data from the C-band STORM scatterometer and passive microwave brightness temperature data from its L-band radiometer. SMOS also collected an L-band snapshot on November 25th. Analysis showed brightness temperatures depended on wind speed and scattered galactic noise. SMOS data was highly contaminated by radio frequency interference. The campaign provided an opportunity to validate SMOS sea surface salinity retrievals against in situ measurements and airborne data.
Direct_retrieval_of_isoprene_from_satellite-based_.pdf
This document describes a study that used satellite measurements from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) onboard the Suomi NPP satellite to directly measure atmospheric isoprene on a global scale. The authors developed an algorithm to retrieve isoprene column abundances from CrIS spectral measurements. They applied this algorithm over the Amazon region, a major isoprene source, and found the results were consistent with model predictions and in-situ measurements, demonstrating the feasibility of direct global satellite measurements of isoprene. Combining these measurements with formaldehyde observations could help constrain atmospheric oxidation over isoprene source regions.
Variability of solar eruptions during cycle 23
This document analyzes solar eruptions during solar cycle 23 from 1996-2001 using data from the SOHO mission. It finds that both the rate of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their average and median speeds increased from solar minimum to maximum. The CME rate increased by a factor of 10, while speeds increased by a factor of 2. There was also a poor correlation found between metric and DH type II radio bursts, attributed to different Alfven speeds in their source regions.
2006-10-16 U Wisconsin Seminar
The document discusses atmospheric aerosols and their characterization. It notes that aerosols have complex physicochemical properties and their full characterization requires measuring multiple dimensions such as size, composition, shape, and mixing state. Satellite data has helped characterize the global distribution of aerosols but challenges remain in integrating different data sources. Aerosols originate from both natural sources like dust, fires and volcanoes as well as human activities and influence factors like climate, air quality and human health.
2005-10-31 Characterization of Aerosol Events
This document summarizes research on characterizing aerosol events using monitoring data. It discusses:
- Long-term monitoring networks that measure particulate matter and species over hundreds of sites
- Tools like analysts' consoles that use spatial and temporal data to help characterize events
- Methods for decomposing temporal signals to identify seasonal, random, and event components
- Examples of analyzing specific aerosol events across the Eastern US using these tools and data.
Climatic consequences of regional nuclear conflicts
This study uses a climate model to simulate the climatic effects of a regional nuclear war between two countries using 100 Hiroshima-sized nuclear weapons on cities in the subtropics. The model finds that the smoke produced by urban fires would cause significant global cooling and reductions in precipitation lasting over a decade. The climate effects are more long-lasting than previous studies due to the smoke being lofted higher into the stratosphere where removal is slower. Reductions in surface sunlight, temperatures, and precipitation of up to 15 W/m^2, 1°C, and 9% respectively are found for several years globally following the conflict.

This document is an accepted manuscript for publication in Icarus that summarizes research analyzing data from the Cassini CIRS instrument to characterize Titan's stratospheric aerosols and ices between 18-500 μm. The research finds that aerosols are well-mixed from the surface to 300 km altitude, while nitrile ice clouds (likely HCN and HC3N) appear centered around 90 km. There is also evidence of an ice cloud layer at 60 km that may be C2H6 ice. Volume extinction coefficients derived from CIRS data are compared to those from DISR, finding particle size ratios consistent with sub-micron aerosols and ice particle effective radii of only a few microns.

Os Timed Original
The document discusses the history of copyright and its impact on creativity and innovation. It notes that in 1774, the Donaldson v. Beckett case established the idea of a "free culture" by limiting copyright to a defined term, but that over time copyright duration has been continually extended to the point where it is now "life plus 70 years." The document argues that current copyright and technology laws have greatly restricted creativity and innovation by over-regulating uses and making every act a potential copyright infringement. It advocates for more transparent and freely shared creative works through open licensing models.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
