Limb Correction of RGB Composite Imagery for Improved Interpretation

RGB (Red‐Green‐Blue) imagery, created by integrating several spectral channels into one composite image, is currently used by the operational weather community to aid in quick, real‐time analysis of atmospheric processes. However, the limb effect - a result of an increasing optical path length of the absorbing atmosphere between the satellite and the earth as scan angle increases - interferes with the qualitative interpretation of RGB composites at large scan angles. It also makes the comparison of similar products from multiple satellite sensors difficult. Recent work has indicated that correcting for the limb effect in the basic channel imagery using simple statistical relationships greatly improves the utility of the derived RGB imagery. However, it is hypothesized that the limb correction coefficients vary with respect to latitude, season, cloud cover, and surface albedo. This poster will highlight an improved approach to the limb correction of RGB imagery using varying coefficients. The Joint Center for Satellite and Data Assimilation (JCSDA) Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) was used to simulate top of atmosphere brightness temperatures at varying scan angles for infrared channels corresponding to the Aqua and Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Suomi NPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), and Meteosat‐10 Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) sensors. A subset of European Center for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) temperature, specific humidity, and ozone mixing ratio profiles from March 2013 through February 2014 were used as input to the CRTM. The simulated brightness temperatures were used to determine the best fit slope of the linear relationship between the natural log of the cosine of the scan angle and the difference of the simulated brightness temperature at nadir and on the limb. The correction coefficients were then analyzed for variability with respect to latitude, season, cloud cover, and surface type and used to produce improved limb corrected imagery. Applications of the results will be presented.

GMI High Frequency Antenna Pattern Correction Update Based on GPM Inertial Hold and Comparison with ATMS

In an inertial hold, the spacecraft does not attempt to maintain geodetic pointing, but rather maintains the same inertial position throughout the orbit. The result is that the spacecraft appears to pitch from 0 to 360 degrees around the orbit. Two inertial holds were performed with the GPM spacecraft: 1) May 20, 2014 16:48:31 UTC-18:21:04 UTC, spacecraft flying forward +X (0yaw), pitch from 55 degrees (FCS) to 415 degrees (FCS) over the orbit2) Dec 9, 2014 01:30:00 UTC-03:02:32 UTC, spacecraft flying backward X (180yaw), pitch from 0 degrees (FCS) to 360 degrees (FCS) over the orbitThe inertial hold affords a view of the earth through the antenna backlobe. The antenna spillover correction may be evaluated based on the inertial hold data.The current antenna pattern correction does not correct for spillover in the 166 and 183 GHz channels. The two inertial holds both demonstrate that there is significant spillover from the 166 and 183 GHz channels. By not correcting the spillover, the 166 and 183 GHz channels are biased low by about 1.8 to 3K. We propose to update the GMI calibration algorithm with the spill-over correction presented in this document for 166 GHz and 183 GHz.

Limb Correction of Infrared Imagery in Cloudy Regions for the Improved Interpretation of RGB Composites

Red-Green-Blue (RGB) composites (EUMETSAT User Services 2009) combine information from several channels into a single composite image. RGB composites contain the same information as the original channels, but presents the information in a more efficient manner. However, RGB composites derived from infrared imagery of both polar-orbiting and geostationary sensors are adversely affected by the limb effect, which interferes with the qualitative interpretation of RGB composites at large viewing zenith angles. The limb effect, or limb-cooling, is a result of an increase in optical path length of the absorbing atmosphere as viewing zenith angle increases (Goldberg et al. 2001; Joyce et al. 2001; Liu and Weng 2007). As a result, greater atmospheric absorption occurs at the limb, causing the sensor to observe anomalously cooler brightness temperatures. Figure 1 illustrates this effect. In general, limb-cooling results in a 4-11 K decrease in measured brightness temperature (Liu and Weng 2007) depending on the infrared band. For example, water vapor and ozone absorption channels display much larger limb-cooling than infrared window channels. Consequently, RGB composites created from infrared imagery not corrected for limb effects can only be reliably interpreted close to nadir, which reduces the spatial coverage of the available imagery. Elmer (2015) developed a reliable, operational limb correction technique for clear regions. However, many RGB composites are intended to be used and interpreted in cloudy regions, so a limb correction methodology valid for both clear and cloudy regions is needed. This paper presents a limb correction technique valid for both clear and cloudy regions, which is described in Section 2. Section 3 presents several RGB case studies demonstrating the improved functionality of limb-corrected RGBs in both clear and cloudy regions, and Section 4 summarizes and presents the key conclusions of this work.

Temporal Gain Correction for X-Ray Calorimeter Spectrometers

Calorimetric X-ray detectors are very sensitive to their environment. The boundary conditions can have a profound effect on the gain including heat sink temperature, the local radiation temperature, bias, and the temperature of the readout electronics. Any variation in the boundary conditions can cause temporal variations in the gain of the detector and compromise both the energy scale and the resolving power of the spectrometer. Most production X-ray calorimeter spectrometers, both on the ground and in space, have some means of tracking the gain as a function of time, often using a calibration spectral line. For small gain changes, a linear stretch correction is often sufficient. However, the detectors are intrinsically non-linear and often the event analysis, i.e., shaping, optimal filters etc., add additional non-linearity. Thus for large gain variations or when the best possible precision is required, a linear stretch correction is not sufficient. Here, we discuss a new correction technique based on non-linear interpolation of the energy-scale functions. Using Astro-HSXS calibration data, we demonstrate that the correction can recover the X-ray energy to better than 1 part in 104 over the entire spectral band to above 12 keV even for large-scale gain variations. This method will be used to correct any temporal drift of the on-orbit per-pixel gain using on-board calibration sources for the SXS instrument on the Astro-H observatory.

Position Corrections for Airspeed and Flow Angle Measurements on Fixed-Wing Aircraft

This report addresses position corrections made to airspeed and aerodynamic flow angle measurements on fixed-wing aircraft. These corrections remove the effects of angular rates, which contribute to the measurements when the sensors are installed away from the aircraft center of mass. Simplified corrections, which are routinely used in practice and assume small flow angles and angular rates, are reviewed. The exact, nonlinear corrections are then derived. The simplified corrections are sufficient in most situations; however, accuracy diminishes for smaller aircraft that incur higher angular rates, and for flight at high air flow angles. This is demonstrated using both flight test data and a nonlinear flight dynamics simulation of a subscale transport aircraft in a variety of low-speed, subsonic flight conditions.

Aperture, A Large Telescope Using Magnetostriction For Post Deployment Corrections: Final Technical Report of NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I

In summary, astronomical as well as Earth observing applications of the future are counting on larger aperture telescopes than are currently available. Several groups have been working on the topic of enabling large (about 16-m diameter) UV-Vis telescopes for many years. The unique feature of our concept is that magnetic films are used rather than electrostatic films or piezo-electrostatic pads. Our magnetic film concept allows for contiguous correction along the surface, does not require a hard wire connection, and does not require continuous external application of the field. There are many unknowns related to the initial accuracy of the deployed figure prior to the magnetic write head corrections. The length scale over which the corrections need to be applied is also of concern. For, although approximately mm length scale corrections can be made with the MSM plus write head technology, the number of 1 mm² patches in a 16 m diameter mirror is too large to contemplate applying individual corrections to each individual patch. However, deployment strategies and the materials available continue to evolve, in particular shape memory composites (SMCs) [34] or alloys (SMAs) [41], such that at this time we see no show-stoppers for this concept. Furthermore, the ability to tune deformations down to much (factors of 10-100) smaller (m) scale opens the futuristic possibility of improving the figure well beyond Strehl values of 90%.

Improving Surface PM2.5 Forecasts in the United States Using an Ensemble of Chemical Transport Model Outputs: 2. Bias Correction with Satellite Data for Rural Areas

This work serves as the second of a two-part study to improve surface PM2.5 forecasts in the continental U.S. through the integrated use of multi satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) products (MODIS Terra/Aqua and VIIRS DT/DB), multichemical transport model (CTM) (GEOS-Chem, WRF-Chem, and CMAQ) outputs, and ground observations. In Part I of the study, an ensemble Kalman filter (KF) technique using three CTM outputs and ground observations was developed to correct forecast bias and generate a single best forecast of PM2.5 for next day over non rural areas that have surface PM2.5 measurements in the proximity of 125 km. Here, with AOD data, we extended the bias correction into rural areas where the closest air quality monitoring station is at least 125–300 km away. First, we ensembled all of satellite AOD products to yield the single best AOD. Second, we corrected daily PM2.5 in rural areas from multiple models through the AOD spatial pattern between these areas and non rural areas, referred to as “extended ground truth” or EGT, for the present day. Lastly, we applied the KF technique to reduce the forecast bias for next day using the EGT. Our results find that the ensemble of bias-corrected daily PM2.5 from three CTMs for both today and next day show the best performance. Together, the two-part study develops a multimodel and multi-AOD bias-correction technique that has the potential to improve PM2.5 forecasts in both rural and non rural areas in near real time, and be readily implemented at state levels.

Validation of Subhourly Clipping Loss Error Corrections: Preprint

Under-performance of solar PV systems is an important issue that increases risks for stakeholders, including developers, investors and operators. Recently some attention has focused on underestimation of inverter clipping losses as a possible source of over-prediction where sub-hourly solar variability is high. Several models and data sets have been analyzed over the past few years, with the aim of quantifying, predicting, and correcting underestimated clipping loss errors for systems with high DC/AC ratio and solar variability. In this research, we apply a machine learning model developed at NREL to two physical PV systems, to correct for subhourly clipping losses. For each system, we compare overall AC power output for the model taken at 1-minute intervals to AC power output taken at 1-hour intervals with the addition of the subhourly clipping correction. Our findings consistently show that the addition of the clipping loss correction lead to a reduction in mean bias error of 0.6\% and 1.1\% for systems A and B, respectively, with no additional filtering applied. When examining high solar variability periods where clipping is more pronounced, system A and B experienced a 1.4\% and 2.5\% reduction in mean bias error, respectively, when the clipping correction was applied.

Uncertainty Quantification of Spatial Correction Factor for Sjoestrand Method due to Cross-section Data

Accelerator-driven System (ADS), which couples a subcritical core with a spallation neutron source, is proposed as a nuclear transmutation technology to reduce the radioactive half-life of high-level waste. To maintain a safe operation in ADS, the core should be kept in subcritical state. Thus, the subcritical state of the core must be quantified through measurement of subcriticality, which is a quantitative margin from critical state. The area ratio method, or the Sjoestrand method, is one of the subcriticality measurement techniques applicable to the ADS. In this method, the absolute value of subcriticality can be obtained by analyzing the temporal variation of neutron density in the core due to the periodic injection of neutron pulses. In practice, the value of subcriticality is measured by the temporal variation of neutron count rate detected by a detector in the core. Time integrals of count rates due to prompt and delayed neutrons A{sub p} and A{sub d}, are measured. Then, the ratio of A{sub p} to A{sub d}, which is called as the area ratio, yields negative reactivity -ρ, i.e. subcriticality, in dollar units: A{sub p}/A{sub d} ≅ -ρ/β{sub eff'} (1) where β{sub eff} is the effective delayed neutron fraction. Equation (1) represents the basic idea of the Sjoestrand method. Note, however, that Eq. (1) is approximately derived using the point kinetics model. In an actual subcritical system, the measured area ratio is not necessarily equal to the exact value of subcriticality in dollar units, due distortion by spatial higher-order modes. Hence, in the actual measurement, this spatial effect is corrected by a spatial correction factor such as the Bell and Glasstone correction factor (the Bell factor), or by extraction of the fundamental mode (so-called the extrapolated area ratio method). In addition, there is an effect due to the neutron detector materials (e.g. {sup 3}He(n,p) and {sup 235}U(n,f)). These effects must be considered in the correction of the measured area ratio. In this study, we focused on the uncertainty of Bell factor. The Bell factor f is defined by the ratio of the area ratio to the subcriticality as follows: f ≡ -[ρ/β{sub eff}]/[A{sub p}/A{sub d}] (2) The Bell factor f can be evaluated by a core analysis. By multiplying the measured area ratio by the Bell factor?, the spatial higher-order mode effect in the area ratio can be corrected. However, the uncertainty of the Bell factor due to uncertainties of cross-section data (covariance data) has not been quantitatively evaluated so far. In this study, we propose a method to quantify the uncertainty of the Bell factor in an actual core analysis. As a feasibility study, the uncertainty quantification is carried out in a simple one-dimensional subcritical core system. (authors)

Advanced Energy Scale Correction Techniques for the X-ray Transition Edge Sensors of the Athena mission

The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) onboard the future European X-ray telescope Athena will be the first space instrument carrying an array of more than a thousand transition edge sensors. One of the key challenges of the X-IFU is the measurement of narrow X-ray atomic lines to determine velocity shifts at an unprecedented level of accuracy. For this reason, the energy scale of the instrument needs to be known with extreme accuracy, of 0.4 eV (1σ) up to 7 keV. The energy scale will be measured on the ground through a dedicated calibration campaign using fiducial X-ray sources. Though calibrated, the energy scale is extremely sensitive to the environmental conditions around the TES array, and drifts in the readout chain electronics. Uncorrected, the energy scale can naturally drift up to hundreds of eVs. Changes of the TES gain will be monitored via onboard X-ray calibration sources, and the energy scale will be corrected either per pixel, or within a small groups of pixels. Although simulations show that a 0.4 eV level can be achieved, the very high accuracy required by the X-IFU calls for experimental validation. A dedicated measurement campaign has been performed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to characterize the energy scale of a prototype kilo-pixel array of X-IFU-representative TESs. The analysis of the data demonstrated the ability to correct for various drifts using two fiducial lines to track the temporal gain variation. In this paper, we propose to extend this study on the same data set by investigating multi-parameter correction techniques based on both the pulse-height of the fiducial line and the prepulse baseline level, using the knowledge of the TES energy scale at reference temperature/magnetic field set points acquired on the ground. Investigations on the co-adding of pixels to perform a joint correction over pools of pixels is also explored.

A relative radiometric correction method for airborne SWIR hyperspectral image using the side-slither technique

Stripe noise still remains in airborne short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral (HS) images after laboratory calibration due to the stray light of HS imager, nonlinear response of infrared focal plane array, and the distinct difference of equivalent color temperature between the integrating sphere and the sun. It is difficult to get a sun-like radiation source, and we apply the side-slither technique for relative radiometric correction of HS images. The calibration data corresponding to different irradiance were obtained by the side-slither technique of imager. Then, the two-point multi-section method is used for relative radiometric correction of HS images. This paper presents the principle, the experimental results, and the analysis of the proposed method. To validate the effectiveness of this method, it was compared with other methods and evaluated by quantitative quality indices. The results reveal that this method has a good performance in relative radiometric correction of HS image and is superior to the laboratory calibration based on integrating sphere. Consequently, the proposed method can successfully eliminate the adverse effect caused by the difference of equivalent color temperature between radiation sources, and also can improve the accuracy of HS applications such as absolute radiation correction and target recognition.

Optimization-based mesh correction with volume and convexity constraints

Here, we consider the problem of finding a mesh such that 1) it is the closest, with respect to a suitable metric, to a given source mesh having the same connectivity, and 2) the volumes of its cells match a set of prescribed positive values that are not necessarily equal to the cell volumes in the source mesh. Also, this volume correction problem arises in important simulation contexts, such as satisfying a discrete geometric conservation law and solving transport equations by incremental remapping or similar semi-Lagrangian transport schemes. In this paper we formulate volume correction as a constrained optimization problem in which the distance to the source mesh defines an optimization objective, while the prescribed cell volumes, mesh validity and/or cell convexity specify the constraints. We solve this problem numerically using a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method whose performance scales with the mesh size. To achieve scalable performance we develop a specialized multigrid-based preconditioner for optimality systems that arise in the application of the SQP method to the volume correction problem. Numerical examples illustrate the importance of volume correction, and showcase the accuracy, robustness and scalability of our approach.

Accelerating eigenvalue computation for nuclear structure calculations via perturbative corrections

Subspace projection methods utilizing perturbative corrections have been proposed for computing the lowest few eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of large Hamiltonian matrices. In this paper, we build upon these methods and introduce the term Subspace Projection with Perturbative Corrections (SPPC) method to refer to this approach. We tailor the SPPC for nuclear many-body Hamiltonians represented in a truncated configuration interaction subspace, i.e., the no-core shell model (NCSM). We use the hierarchical structure of the NCSM Hamiltonian to partition the Hamiltonian as the sum of two matrices. The first matrix corresponds to the Hamiltonian represented in a small configuration space, whereas the second is viewed as the perturbation to the first matrix. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the first matrix can be computed efficiently. Because of the split, perturbative corrections to the eigenvectors of the first matrix can be obtained efficiently from the solutions of a sequence of linear systems of equations defined in the small configuration space. These correction vectors can be combined with the approximate eigenvectors of the first matrix to construct a subspace from which more accurate approximations of the desired eigenpairs can be obtained. We show by numerical examples that the SPPC method can be more efficient than conventional iterative methods for solving large-scale eigenvalue problems such as the Lanczos, block Lanczos and the locally optimal block preconditioned conjugate gradient (LOBPCG) method. The method can also be combined with other methods to avoid convergence stagnation.

CRISPR/Cas correction of muscular dystrophies

Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of monogenic neuromuscular disorders which lead to progressive muscle loss and degeneration of the musculoskeletal system. The genetic causes of muscular dystrophies are well characterized, but no effective treatments have been developed so far. The discovery and application of the CRISPR/Cas system for genome editing offers a new path for disease treatment with the potential to permanently correct genetic mutations. The post-mitotic and multinucleated features of skeletal muscle provide an ideal target for CRISPR/Cas therapeutic genome editing because correction of a subpopulation of nuclei can provide benefit to the whole myofiber. In this review, we provide an overview of the CRISPR/Cas system and its derivatives in genome editing, proposing potential CRISPR/Cas-based therapies to correct diverse muscular dystrophies, and we discuss challenges for translating CRISPR/Cas genome editing to a viable therapy for permanent correction of muscular dystrophies.

Learning to Correct Climate Projection Biases

The fidelity of climate projections is often undermined by biases in climate models due to their simplification or misrepresentation of unresolved climate processes. While various bias correction methods have been developed to post-process model outputs to match observations, existing approaches usually focus on limited, low-order statistics, or break either the spatiotemporal consistency of the target variable, or its dependency upon model resolved dynamics. We develop a Regularized Adversarial Domain Adaptation (RADA) methodology to overcome these deficiencies, and enhance efficient identification and correction of climate model biases. Instead of pre-assuming the spatiotemporal characteristics of model biases, we apply discriminative neural networks to distinguish historical climate simulation samples and observation samples. The evidences based on which the discriminative neural networks make distinctions are applied to train the domain adaptation neural networks to bias correct climate simulations. We regularize the domain adaptation neural networks using cycle-consistent statistical and dynamical constraints. An application to daily precipitation projection over the contiguous United States shows that our methodology can correct all the considered moments of daily precipitation at approximately $1^\circ$ resolution, ensures spatiotemporal consistency and inter-field correlations, and can discriminate between different dynamical conditions. Our methodology offers a powerful tool for disentangling model parameterization biases from their interactions with the chaotic evolution of climate dynamics, opening a novel avenue toward big-data enhanced climate predictions.

Vibrational corrections to the second hyperpolarizabilities of Al{sub n}P{sub n} clusters

In this work, we report results of vibrational corrections to the second hyperpolarizabilities of Al{sub 2}P{sub 2}, Al{sub 3}P{sub 3}, Al{sub 4}P{sub 4}, Al{sub 6}P{sub 6}, and Al{sub 9}P{sub 9} clusters. The vibrational corrections were calculated through the perturbation theoretic method of Bishop and Kirtman and also using a variational methodology at the second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory level with the aug-cc-pVDZ basis set. Results show that the vibrational corrections are important, accounting for more than half of the corresponding electronic second hyperpolarizabilities at the static limit. Comparisons between results obtained through both methods show very good agreements for the terms [α{sup 2}] and [μβ] but significant differences for the term [μ{sup 2}α]. Dynamic vibrational corrections to the second hyperpolarizabilities related to the dc-second harmonic generation, intensity dependent refractive index, and dc-Kerr nonlinear optical processes are also reported.

Surface tension and long range corrections of cylindrical interfaces

The calculation of the surface tension of curved interfaces has been deeply investigated from molecular simulation during this last past decade. Recently, the thermodynamic Test-Area (TA) approach has been extended to the calculation of surface tension of curved interfaces. In the case of the cylindrical vapour-liquid interfaces of water and Lennard-Jones fluids, it was shown that the surface tension was independent of the curvature of the interface. In addition, the surface tension of the cylindrical interface is higher than that of the planar interface. Molecular simulations of cylindrical interfaces have been so far performed (i) by using a shifted potential, (ii) by means of large cutoff without periodic boundary conditions, or (iii) by ignoring the long range corrections to the surface tension due to the difficulty to estimate them. Indeed, unlike the planar interfaces there are no available operational expressions to consider the tail corrections to the surface tension of cylindrical interfaces. We propose here to develop the long range corrections of the surface tension for cylindrical interfaces by using the non-exponential TA (TA2) method. We also extend the formulation of the Mecke-Winkelmann corrections initially developed for planar surfaces to cylindrical interfaces. We complete this study by the calculation of the surface tension of cylindrical surfaces of liquid tin and copper using the embedded atom model potentials.

SOPPA and CCSD vibrational corrections to NMR indirect spin-spin coupling constants of small hydrocarbons

We present zero-point vibrational corrections to the indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants in ethyne, ethene, cyclopropene and allene. The calculations have been carried out both at the level of the second order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) employing a new implementation in the DALTON program, at the density functional theory level with the B3LYP functional employing also the Dalton program and at the level of coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) theory employing the implementation in the CFOUR program. Specialized coupling constant basis sets, aug-cc-pVTZ-J, have been employed in the calculations. We find that on average the SOPPA results for both the equilibrium geometry values and the zero-point vibrational corrections are in better agreement with the CCSD results than the corresponding B3LYP results. Furthermore we observed that the vibrational corrections are in the order of 5 Hz for the one-bond carbon-hydrogen couplings and about 1 Hz or smaller for the other couplings apart from the one-bond carbon-carbon coupling (11 Hz) and the two-bond carbon-hydrogen coupling (4 Hz) in ethyne. However, not for all couplings lead the inclusion of zero-point vibrational corrections to better agreement with experiment.
