Bright air : geoprocessing thermal imagery to map the nocturnal dynamics of the boundary layer in a mountain valley

Creator:: Johnson, Christopher
Abstract:: A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...

The design and construction of an ionization chamber to measure background radiation

Creator:: Weaver, Kenneth Earl
Abstract:: An ionization chamber was constructed, using a fiberglass wall sphere, for the purpose of measuring background radiation. The system consists of the fiberglass wall chamber, 38.85 liters in volume, air filled, not sealed, used in conjunction with a precision capacitor, nulling voltage supply and electrometer. It was calibrated against a...

Properties of semitransparent upper-level clouds deduced from multispectral imagery data

Creator:: Lin, Xijian
Abstract:: A multispectral retrieval method is developed on the 100 km regional scale to extract the temperature, particle size, fractional cover and 11-μm emissivity of clouds which may be semitransparent in the infrared based on emitted radiances. The scheme utilizes the nonlinear relationship between emitted radiances when clouds are semitransparent and...

A method for predicting peak scanning detection efficiency of a cylindrical sodium iodide scintillation detector

Creator:: Duffy, William L.
Abstract:: Scanning surveys of building surfaces and land areas are performed with radiation detection equipment to identify areas of elevated radioactivity. To quantify the extent and magnitude of the contamination, follow-up radiation surveys and soil sampling are usually required. The ability to accurately quantify discrete locations or "hot particles" of contamination...

Characterization of the onset of charged particle equilibrium for photon dose to skin

Creator:: Ryan, Michael C.
Abstract:: In the U.S., the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for setting annual dose limits. For cases of hot particle contamination these limits are set at depths in skin of 7 mg/cm², 300 mg/cm², and 1000 mg/cm². However, at such shallow depths, the lack of charged particle equilibrium (CPE) precludes...

Measurements of atmospheric sodium abundance by direct absorption of sunlight

Creator:: El Tayyan, Ahmed Asad
Abstract:: The atmospheric sodium daytime abundance was measured for Corvallis, Oregon, using direct absorption of sunlight by atmospheric sodium atoms, as observed with an optical waveguide spectrum analyzer. The disadvantage of the spectrum analyzer is that it can't resolve the sodium D-lines (Its resolving power is 0.5 nm, which is approximately...

Modeled and observed longwave radiances at the top of the atmosphere

Creator:: Stone, Kenneth A.
Abstract:: One method of estimating the longwave radiative heating of the atmosphere is to combine satellite observations of emitted radiances with those computed from synoptic temperature and humidity profiles. Modeled and observed radiances are brought into agreement by altering cloud properties or even by adjusting the temperature and water vapor profiles....
