Mev Magnetosheath Ions Energized At The Bow Shock, S. Chang, J. D. Scudder, K. Kudela, Harlan E. Spence, J. F. Fennell, R. P. Lepping, R. P. Lin, C. T. Russell Sep 2001

Mev Magnetosheath Ions Energized At The Bow Shock, S. Chang, J. D. Scudder, K. Kudela, Harlan E. Spence, J. F. Fennell, R. P. Lepping, R. P. Lin, C. T. Russell

Physics & Astronomy

A causal relationship between midlatitude magnetosheath energetic ions and bow shock magnetic geometry was previously established for ion energy up to 200 keV e−1 for the May 4, 1998, storm event. This study demonstrates that magnetosheath ions with energies above 200 keV up to 1 MeV simply extend the ion spectrum to form a power law tail. Results of cross-correlation analysis suggest that these ions also come directly from the quasi-parallel bow shock, not the magnetosphere. This is confirmed by a comparison of energetic ion fluxes simultaneously measured in the magnetosheath and at the quasi-parallel bow shock when both regions …


Improvement Of Image Alignment Using Camera Attitude Information, Yuri Rzhanov, Lloyd C. Huff, Randy G. Cutter Jr. Aug 2001

Improvement Of Image Alignment Using Camera Attitude Information, Yuri Rzhanov, Lloyd C. Huff, Randy G. Cutter Jr.

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

We discuss a proposed technique for incorporation of information from a variety of sensors in a video imagery processing pipeline. The auxiliary information allows one to simplify computations, effectively reducing the number of independent parameters in the transformation model. The mosaics produced by this technique are adequate for many applications, in particular habitat mapping. The algorithm, demonstrated through simulations and hardware configuration, is described in detail

Anatomy Of A Community-Level Fiscal Impact Model: Fit-4-Nh., Tracey L. Farrigan, John M. Halstead, Martin L. Shields, Douglas E. Morris, Edmund F. Jansen Jr Jul 2001

Anatomy Of A Community-Level Fiscal Impact Model: Fit-4-Nh., Tracey L. Farrigan, John M. Halstead, Martin L. Shields, Douglas E. Morris, Edmund F. Jansen Jr

Natural Resources & the Environment

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a fiscal impact tool for New Hampshire communities (HT -4-NH). FIT -4-NH belongs to a family of computergenerated fiscal impact assessment models designed to estimate the impacts to local government revenues and expenditures that result from economic changes. In the past, work in this area has centered on the completion of countylevel models for the midwestern states. FIT-4-NH is unique in that it was designed for rural community-level use in the northern New England region of the country.


Moving Icons, Detection And Distraction, Lyn Bartram, Colin Ware, Tom Calvert Jul 2001

Moving Icons, Detection And Distraction, Lyn Bartram, Colin Ware, Tom Calvert

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Simple motion has great potential for visually encoding information but there are as yet few experimentally validated guidelines for its use. Two studies were carried out to look at how efficiently simple motion cues were detected and how distracting they were in different task contexts. The results show that motion outperforms static representations and identify certain types of motions which are more distracting and irritating than others.

Automatic Detection Of Outliers In Multibeam Echo Sounding Data, Tianhang Hou, Lloyd C. Huff, Larry A. Mayer May 2001

Automatic Detection Of Outliers In Multibeam Echo Sounding Data, Tianhang Hou, Lloyd C. Huff, Larry A. Mayer

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The data volumes produced by new generation multibeam systems are very large, especially for shallow water systems. Results from recent multibeam surveys indicate that the ratio of the field survey time, to the time used in interactive editing through graphical editing tools, is about 1:1. An important reason for the large amount of processing time is that users subjectively decide which soundings are outliers. There is an apparent need for an automated approach for detecting outliers that would reduce the extensive labor and obtain consistent results from the multibeam data cleaning process, independent of the individual that has processed the …


Error Estimation Of Bathymetric Grid Models Derived From Historic And Contemporary Data Sets, Martin Jakobsson, Brian R. Calder, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong May 2001

Error Estimation Of Bathymetric Grid Models Derived From Historic And Contemporary Data Sets, Martin Jakobsson, Brian R. Calder, Larry A. Mayer, Andy Armstrong

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The past century has seen remarkable advances in technologies associated with positioning and the measurement of depth. Lead lines have given way to single beam echo sounders, which in turn are being replaced by multibeam sonars and other means of remotely and rapidly collecting dense bathymetric datasets. Sextants were replaced by radio navigation, then transit satellite, GPS and now differential GPS. With each new advance comes tremendous improvement in the accuracy and resolution of the data we collect. Given these changes and given the vastness of the ocean areas we must map, the charts we produce are mainly compilations of …

Cross-Shelf Eddy Heat Transport In A Wind-Free Coastal Ocean Undergoing Winter Time Cooling, James M. Pringle Feb 2001

Cross-Shelf Eddy Heat Transport In A Wind-Free Coastal Ocean Undergoing Winter Time Cooling, James M. Pringle

Earth Sciences

A steady state cross-shelf density gradient of a wind-free coastal ocean undergoing winter time cooling is found for cooling and geometries which do not vary in the along-shelf direction. The steady state cross-shelf density gradient exists even when the average density of the water continues to increase. The steady state density gradient dan be attained in less than a winter for parameters appropriate to the mid-Atlantic Eight. The cross-shelf eddy-driven buoyancy fluxes which cause this steady state gradient are found to depend critically on bottom friction and bottom slope, and the coastal polyna solutions of Chapman and Gawarkiewicz [1997] are …
