Linkages between air, land, sea and biology are evident. It is apparent that the heating of the ocean in areas of extreme summer sea ice loss is directly impacting surface ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010102077Atmospheric turbulence has been shown to cause measurable effects on the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. These effects are significant at both visible/IR and microwave and millimeter wavelengths even though they vary as f7/6, where f is fre ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505717Changes in the climate attributable to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases may have significant impacts in the United States and the world. For example, climate change could threaten coastal areas with rising sea levels. Greenhouse gases alr ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010101342Today Marines find themselves operating increasingly in desert environments. These environments pose a great deal of problems for the operating forces. Helicopter crews are particularly concerned with brownout conditions. Brownout can occur during th ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505543In order to resolve atmospheric features, such as gravity waves to the degree necessary for accurate optical turbulence prediction, we developed an adaptive version of MM5 that incorporates the NCSU Dynamic Solution Adaptive Grid Algorithm (DSAGA) an ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505962We have an established project at LLNL to develop the tools needed to constrain fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions using measurements of thecarbon-14 isotope in atmospheric samples. In Figure 1 we show the fossilfuel plumes from Los Angeles and San ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=DE2009964117For the Coastal Hazards Task of the Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in Southern California, the USGS is leading the development of a modeling system for forecasting the impact of winter storms threatening the entire Southern California shoreline ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010101782This report summarizes the findings of the Department of Energy's (DOE) monitoring of the impact of hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the natural gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico region from late August 2005 through early March 2006. During that time, ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010101835This theoretical study is carried out to investigate the effect of radiation on ice crystal spectrum in the upper troposphere. First, an explicit expression is obtained for the ice crystal growth rate that takes account of radiative and kinetic effec ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=N20090026604The NAVO MSRC provides Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers with high performance computing (HPC) resources, including leading edge computational systems, large-scale data storage and archiving, scientific visualization resources and ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505945The NAVO MSRC provides Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers with high performance computing (HPC) resources, including leading edge computational systems, large-scale data storage and archiving, scientific visualization resources and ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505953The NAVO MSRC provides Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers with high performance computing (HPC) resources, including leading edge computational systems, large-scale data storage and archiving, scientific visualization resources and ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505906The NAVO MSRC provides Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers with high performance computing (HPC) resources, including leading edge computational systems, large-scale data storage and archiving, scientific visualization resources and ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505907The NAVO MSRC provides Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers with high performance computing (HPC) resources, including leading edge computational systems, large-scale data storage and archiving, scientific visualization resources and ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505943To understand the dynamics of airborne particulate intrusion into a space telescope, a mechanistic model based on mass balance was developed to predict the extent to which ambient particles penetrate through vent holes and enter the interiors after t ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=ADA505618Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes affect communities across the United States every year, causing fatalities, destroying property and crops, and disrupting businesses. Tornadoes are the most destructive products of severe thunderstorms, and second o ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010101616A new cloud detection technique has been developed and applied to both geostationary and polar orbiting satellite imagery having channels in the thermal infrared and short wave infrared spectral regions.

The data have been binned according to ten-degree wide latitude zones from 40S to 40N and at 10 a ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=N20090027887The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is now well established in southern Florida and spreading northward. The factors likely to limit this spread are unknown, but presumably include climate or are correlated with climate. We compiled monthl ...http://www.ntis.gov/search/product.aspx?ABBR=PB2010101924
