Assessing The Origin Of Noise In The Precipitation Gauge Geonor T-200b, Jonah B. Basl, Scott Landolt, Justin Lentz Sep 2019

Assessing The Origin Of Noise In The Precipitation Gauge Geonor T-200b, Jonah B. Basl, Scott Landolt, Justin Lentz

STAR Program Research Presentations

The Geonor T-200B is an all-weather precipitation gauge utilized by the Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). RAL has been dealing with a persistent issue of noise within the Geonor Devices during non-precipitation events. When there is not precipitation occurring, the data reading off the Geonor would be expected to be a constant value, as no precipitation is being collected. However, the device is producing unaccounted variation (noise) causing tremor like lines to appear in the data. The noise in the data is an issue for …

Abstract: We present a high-throughput nanoindentation study of in situ bending effects on incipient plastic deformation behavior of polycrystalline and single-crystalline pure aluminum and pure copper at ultranano depths (< 200 nm). We find that hardness displays a statistically inverse dependence on in-plane stress for indentation depths smaller than 10 nm, and the dependence disappears for larger indentation depths. In contrast, plastic noise in the nanoindentation force and displacement displays statistically robust noise features, independently of applied stresses. Our experimental results suggest the existence of a regime in Face Centered Cubic (FCC) crystals where ultranano hardness is sensitive to residual applied stresses, but plasticity pop-in noise is insensitive to it.
