July 2, 2020 -“Cone Of Silence” Issues & Lightning Indicator Study

Using previous studies that showed that when a developing storm has a 35dbz radar echo at a height inside the cloud where the temperature drops to -10 degrees C, yields an estimated 85% chance of future lightning occurring, we put this storm that developed on 7/2/20 to the same parameters. The Pantex LMA (Lightning Mapping Array) detected “charge densities” at 13:56. These can be precursors to future lightning. The Pantex LMA picked these charge densities up 10 minutes after the 35 dbz core reached 25,000 feet.

Human-Constrained Indicators of Gatekeeping Behavior as a Role in Information Suppression: Finding Invisible Information and the Significant Unsaid

To date, disinformation research has focused largely on the production of false information ignoring the suppression of select information. We term this alternative form of disinformation information suppression. Information suppression occurs when facts are withheld with the intent to mislead. In order to detect information suppression, we focus on understanding the actors who withhold information. In this research, we use knowledge of human behavior to find signatures of different gatekeeping behaviors found in text. Specifically, we build a model to classify the different types of edits on Wikipedia using the added text alone and compare a human-informed feature engineering approach to a featureless algorithm. Being able to computationally distinguish gatekeeping behaviors is a first step towards identifying when information suppression is occurring.

Temperature of Suprathermal Electron Strahl at ACE as an Indicator of Solar Coronal Origin Temperature [Slides]

Determine the effectiveness of using electron strahl temperature to infer coronal source temperature. Suprathermal electron strahl temperature derived from measurements at 1 AU does retain information regarding the coronal source temperature from which it originates. This correlation is most strongly measured during the leading edges of coronal hole events but is generally also present in full event measurements. This correlation is also observed in CME events during a coronal hole.

Stochastic Models, Indices & Optimization Algorithms for Pricing & Hedging Reliability Risks in Modern Power Grids: Data Plan - Princeton

We collected and cleaned the synthetic grid data produced by NREL for the Texas and New York synthetic grids. We developed a high dimensional joint stochastic model for load at the zone level, and solar and wind power productions at the asset level, capturing the spatial and temporal dependencies between all the variables, and demonstrated how such a model could be fitted to historical data. We designed and implemented a simulation engine which can produce Monte Carlo scenarios for the hourly day-ahead values of load, and solar and wind power productions at the spatial and temporal resolutions of the historical data used to fit the model. Finally we developed an open-source Python package which can, from an input grid model, efficiently use forecasts and large numbers of Monte Carlo scenarios to provide unit commitment and economic dispatch for each of these scenarios. The high dimensional stochastic model and the subsequent Monte Carlo simulation engine were implemented in the package PGscen and the corresponding UC and ED optimization programs in the package Vatic.
