The SPARC team has completed much of the workflow development needed for the coupled and uncoupled analyses needed to support our flight test validation work. The SPARC team has continued to make progress on development activities to support unsteady, full reentry vehicle aero analysis, which have focused on turbulence modeling, uniform mesh refinement, in-situ visualization (with the Paraview/Catalyst team), and performance analysis. The SPARC team is making solid progress towards our Q4 goal of demonstrating an improved Wall Modeled Large Eddy Simulation (WMLES) capability for standard geometries using high-order finite difference, discontinuous Galerkin, and low-dissipation finite volume methods. The SPARC team has met the minimum completion criteria for parts of the L1, including documenting performance and scaling of SPARC on Trinity, Sierra and Astra, and performing runs for the flight test validation case.
The National Security Research Center has tens of millions of materials. This is the Lab’s classified library, which also houses artifacts from LANL history. Think of still-secret nuclear weapons data, old photos of the town in the 1940s, an old pair of goggles from the testing days, and so much more.
Four aerosol optical depth (AOD) products are offered by four collocated ground-based instruments deployed at the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) observatory (SGP Central Facility 1 [C1] and Extended Facility 13 [E13]) for more than two decades. Two of these instruments, the multifilter rotating shadowband radiometers (MFRSRs C1 and E13), are sensors with horizontal hemispherical receivers shaded by rotating shadowbands.
Cloud detection algorithms of various techniques have been developed and applied to atmospheric ground-based lidar data to identify cloud boundaries and produce clouds masks. While these algorithms are able to identify a wide variety of cloud types and conditions, it is often observed that the algorithms can still fail to accurately detect clouds that are readily discernible when inspecting the lidar imagery. Based on this observation, an alternative approach for cloud detection is to take advantage of machine-learning capabilities and the trained human eye as an interpreter of lidar images, and in turn, to train a neural network to recognize the desired features in the lidar data.
