Pacific Northwest region

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1969
Discussions regarding both necessary and desirable changes in statutes and by‐laws started in 1966, and final agreement by members of the executive committee was reached at the 14th Annual Meeting in 1967. The proposed changes were put to a vote of the regional membership in early 1968 and were approved overwhelmingly.The major changes were: (1) Change

Modeling the impact of extreme weather events and future climate on the radiologically contaminated sites of Enewetak Atoll

Scientific Reports
Enewetak Atoll underwent 43 historical nuclear tests from 1948 to 1958, including the first hydrogen bomb test, resulting in a substantial nuclear material fallout contaminating the Atoll and the lagoon waters. The radionuclide fallout material deposited

Aligning the Measurement of Microbial Diversity with Macroecological Theory

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The number of microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) within a community is akin to species richness within plant/animal (‘macrobial’) systems. A large literature documents OTU richness patterns, drawing comparisons to macrobial theory.

A sensitivity study of radiative fluxes at the top of atmosphere to cloud-microphysics and aerosol parameters in the community atmosphere model CAM5 [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of net radiative fluxes (FNET) at the top of atmosphere (TOA) to 16 selected uncertain parameters mainly related to the cloud microphysics and aerosol schemes in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 ...
