PRex: an experiment to investigate detection of near-field particulate deposition from a simulated underground nuclear weapons test vent

Creator:: Keillor, Martin E., Arrigo, Leah M., Baciak, James E., Chipman, Veraun, Detwiler, Rebecca S., Emer, Dudley F., Kernan, Warnick J., Kirkham, Randy R., MacDougall, Matthew R., Milbrath, Brian D., Rishel, Jeremy P., Seifert, Allen, Seifert, Carolyn E., and Smart, John E.
Abstract:: A radioactive particulate release experiment to produce a near-field ground deposition representative of small-scale venting from an underground nuclear test was conducted to gather data in support of treaty capability development activities. For this experiment, aCO₂‐driven “air cannon” was used to inject ¹⁴⁰La, a radioisotope of lanthanum with 1.7‐d half-life...

Contribution of Calcium Oxalate to Soil-Exchangeable Calcium

Creator:: Dauer, Jenny M. and Perakis, Steven S.
Abstract:: Acid deposition and repeated biomass harvest have decreased soil calcium (Ca) availability in many temperate forests worldwide, yet existing methods for assessing available soil Ca do not fully characterize soil Ca forms. To account for discrepancies in ecosystem Ca budgets, it has been hypothesized that the highly insoluble biomineral Ca...

Calibration of the Nimbus-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), 1979-1984

Creator:: Francis, Erika A.
Abstract:: Six years of Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data from 1979 to 1984 are recalibrated at the radiometric level. New statistical techniques are developed to quantify the temporal and orbital data errors and to generate numerical corrections for brightness temperatures prior to estimation of geophysical parameters. The foundations of...

The cross-equatorial structure of tropical instability waves in sea surface height

Creator:: Lyman, John M.
Abstract:: A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...

The biologies of predators (Coleoptera: Cleridae) of the Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins (Coleoptera : Scolytidae), in western Oregon

Creator:: Cowan, Bruce Dudley
Abstract:: Six species of Cleridae, including Enoclerus spegeus Fabricius, E. lecontei Wolcott, E. schaefferi (Barr), E. eximius Mannerheim, Thanasimus undatulus Say, and an undescribed species of Enoclerus, were found on Douglas-fir in western Oregon. E. sphegeus was the only clerid of the six species studied which was primarily associated with the...

Surface wind modification near mid-latitude ocean fronts : observational and dynamical analysis

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W.
Abstract:: Interactions between surface winds and meanders in mid-latitude sea surface temperature (SST) fronts with horizontal length scales of 100-1000 km are investigated from satellite observations and numerical simulations. Observations from the Sea- Winds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite show that the magnitude, direction, curl, and divergence of the surface wind...

A Review of Contemporary Methods for the Presentation of Scientific Uncertainty

Creator:: Makinson, K. A., Hamby, D. M., and Edwards, J. A.
Abstract:: Graphical methods for displaying uncertainty are often the most concise and informative way to communicate abstract concepts. Presentation methods currently in use for the display and interpretation of scientific uncertainty are reviewed. Numerous subjective and objective uncertainty display methods are presented, including qualitative assessments, node and arrow diagrams, standard statistical...

Buoy and satellite observation of wind induced surface heat exchange in the intraseasonal oscillation over West Pacific and Indian Ocean

Creator:: Araligidad, Nilesh
Abstract:: The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for northern and southern hemisphere summer during 1999-2005 using satellite and buoy observations. A composite analysis of QuikSCAT ocean vector winds and TRMM...

Kiln-drying Oregon maple paper roll plugs

Creator:: Anderson, B. G., Williams, W., Jr., and Oregon Forest Products Laboratory
Abstract:: Four charges of S-inch paper roll plugs of Oregon maple were kiln-dried at various temperatures and humidities. The charge with the most desirable combination of short drying time and low degrade was dried to 12 per cent moisture content in lit hours, using a dry-bulb temperature of 160 degrees F...
