The mesoscale wind field during project JASIN 1972

Creator:: Cummings, Timothy K.
Abstract:: The wind field measured during Project JASIN 1972, a joint British-American venture during September 1972, was analyzed. These measurements were done, with equipment manufactured by Ivar Aanderaa of Bergen, Norway, on large, anchored toroid buoys. The results of the analysis of the wind field, which included divergence and vorticity estimates...

Seasonal variation of wind gustiness in a portion of the Columbia Gorge

Creator:: Baker, Robert W.
Abstract:: The seasonal variation of wind speed fluctuations is studied at four locations in The Dalles area of the Columbia River Gorge. Three of the sites are located in or near the valley floor while the fourth site is on top of a 900 m (3000 ft) ridge just north of...

Monte Carlo MDA determination for waste drum sources

Creator:: Buchholz, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Past weapons production activities have resulted in mass quantities of trans-uranic waste being buried in drums at several sites in the United States. In an effort to relocate these waste drums to more permanent storage sites, Fluor Hanford has begun characterizing their contents to ensure compliance with various shipping and...

Lasers in the Sky : Distributed Temperature Sensing and a Micro-Meteorological Approach to Quantifying Evapotranspiration

Creator:: Predosa, Robert
Abstract:: Lower atmospheric flux measurements are a difficult subset of atmospheric data to accurately collect. The interplay of cost, precision, specialty, resolution and repeatability compound an already difficult experimental problem. In response to this, a new, novel instrumentation approach to measuring within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is introduced. The combination...

Gravity-based non-invasive superconducting gravimeter system for reactor coolant inventory monitoring

Creator:: Danielson, Jordan J.
Abstract:: All nuclear reactors rely heavily on the use of level sensing instrumentation to detect the behaviour of liquid in vessels. The majority of level sensing instruments are differential pressure sensing meters, which are invasive and could be the failure source in the pressure boundary of the primary coolant system. In...

Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

Development of an autonomous in-situ instrument for long-term monitoring of Cu(II) in the marine environment

Creator:: Holm, Christopher E.
Abstract:: An autonomous, in-situ instrument was developed to detect dissolved copper in seawater, suitable for deployment on time scales from weeks to months. A commercially available in-situ nitrate analyzer (YSI 9600) was adapted to measure copper (II) in seawater by chemiluminescence. Modifications included construction of a photomultiplier (PMT) based detector and...

Development of a Collision Detection Module for Avian and Bat Species on Wind Turbine

Creator:: Davis, Cassandra L.
Abstract:: Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Development and application of a new passive sampling device : the lipid-free tube (LFT) sampler

Creator:: Quarles, Lucas W.
Abstract:: Contaminants can exist in a wide range of states in aqueous environments, especially in surface waters. They can be freely dissolved or associated with dissolved or particulate organic matter depending on their chemical and physical characteristics. The freely dissolved fraction represents the most bioavailable fraction to an organism. These freely...
