Global-Local-Comparison Approach: Understanding Marine Mammal Spatial Behavior By Applying Spatial Statistics And Hypothesis Testing To Passive Acoustic Data, Hilary Kates Varghese, Kim Lowell, Jennifer L. Miksis-Olds

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Technological innovation in underwater acoustics has progressed research in marine mammal behavior by providing the ability to collect data on various marine mammal biological and behavioral attributes across time and space. But with this comes the need for an approach to distill the large amounts of data collected. Though disparate general statistical and modeling approaches exist, here, a holistic quantitative approach specifically motivated by the need to analyze different aspects of marine mammal behavior within a Before-After Control-Impact framework using spatial observations is introduced: the Global-Local-Comparison (GLC) approach. This approach capitalizes on the use of data sets from large-scale, hydrophone …

Assessment Of Online Water-Soluble Brown Carbon Measuring Systems For Aircraft Sampling, Linghan Zeng, Amy P. Sullivan, Rebecca A. Washenfelder, Jack E. Dibb, Eric Scheuer, Teresa L. Campos, Joseph M. Katich, Ezra Levin, Michael A. Robinson, Rodney J. Weber

Faculty Publications

Brown carbon (BrC) consists of particulate organic species that preferentially absorb light at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths. Ambient studies show that as a component of aerosol particles, BrC affects photochemical reaction rates and regional to global climate. Some organic chromophores are especially toxic, linking BrC to adverse health effects. The lack of direct measurements of BrC has limited our understanding of its prevalence, sources, evolution, and impacts. We describe the first direct, online measurements of water-soluble BrC on research aircraft by three separate instruments. Each instrument measured light absorption over a broad wavelength range using a liquid waveguide capillary cell …
