Dehydration in the lower Antarctic stratosphere in late winter and spring

The history of minimum temperatures at 50 and 70 mb is examined from NMC, UK Met 0 and ECMWF analyses. MSU channel 24 data are similarly inspected. South Pole sonde data are used to calculate saturation humidity mixing ratio as a function of altitude and time throughout 1987. Saturation with respect to ice could be maintained for water mixing ratios of 3.5 ppmv for a period of about 80 days from mid-June to mid-September. Dehydration to mixing ratios of 1 ppmv or less was possible sporadically. Data from the ER-2 flights between 53 S and 72 S are used in conjunction with particle size measurements and air parcel trajectories to demonstrate the dehydration occurring over Antarctica. Water mixing ratios at the latitude of Punta Arenas (53 S), in conjunction with tracer measurements and trajectory analysis, show that at potential temperatures from about 325 to 400 K, the dryness (less than 3 ppmv) had its origin over Antarctica rather than in the tropics. Water mixing ratios within the Antarctic vortex varied from 1.5 to 3.8 ppmv, with a strong isentropic gradient being evident in the region of high potential vorticity gradients.

Quantifying uncertainties due to optical potentials in one-neutron knockout reactions

One-neutron knockout reactions have been widely used to extract information about the single-particle structure of nuclei from the valley of stability to the drip lines. The interpretation of knockout data relies on reaction models, where the uncertainties are typically not accounted for. In this work, we quantify uncertainties of optical potentials used in these reaction models and propagate them, for the first time, to knockout observables using a Bayesian analysis. We study two reactions in the present paper, the first of which involves a loosely bound halo projectile, 11 Be, and the second a tightly bound projectile, 12 C. We first quantify the parametric uncertainties associated with phenomenological optical potentials. Complementing this approach, we also quantify the model uncertainties associated with the chiral forces that can be used to construct microscopic optical potentials. For the phenomenological study, we investigate the impact of the imaginary terms of the optical potential on the breakup and stripping components of the knockout cross sections as well as the impact of the angular range. For the 11 Be case, the theoretical uncertainty from the phenomenological method is on the order of the experimental uncertainty of the knockout observables; however, for the 12 C case, the theoretical uncertainty is significantly larger. Additionally, the widths of the uncertainty bands for the knockout observables obtained for the microscopic study and the phenomenological approach are of similar orders of magnitude. Based on this work we conclude that structure information inferred from the ratio of the knockout cross sections will carry a theoretical uncertainty of at least 20% for halo nuclei and at least 40% for tightly bound nuclei.

Retrieval of Polar Stratospheric Cloud Microphysical Properties From Lidar Measurements: Dependence on Particle Shape Assumptions

Knowledge of particle sizes and number densities of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) is highly important, because they are critical parameters for the modeling of the ozone chemistry of the stratosphere. In situ measurements of PSC particles are rare. the main instrument for the accumulation of PSC data are lidar systems. Therefore the derivation of some microphysical properties of PSCS from the optical parameters measured by lidars would be highly beneficial for ozone research. Inversion of lidar data obtained in the presence of PSCs formed from crystalline particles type 11 and the various nitric acid tri Ydrrate (NAT) types cannot be easily accomplished, because a suitable scattering theory for small faceted crystals has not been readily available tip to now. As a consequence, the T-matrix method is commonly used for the interpretation of these PSC lidar data. Here the assumption is made that the optical properties of an ensemble of spheroids resemble those of crystalline PSCs, and microphysical properties of the PSC are inferred from the optical signatures of the PSC at two or more wavelengths. The problem with the T-matrix approach is that the assumption of spheroidal instead of faceted particles can lead to dramatically wrong results: Usually cloud particle properties are deduced from analysis of lidar profiles of backscatter ratio and depolarization ratio. The particle contribution to the backscatter ratio is given by the product of the particle number density and the backscattering cross section. The latter is proportional to the value of the particle's scattering phase function at 180 degrees scattering angle. At 180 degrees however, the phase functions of rough, faceted crystals and of spheroids with same maximum dimension differ by a factor of 6. From this it follows that for a PSC consisting of faceted crystals, the particle number density is underestimated by roughly the same factor if spheroidal particles are unrealistically assumed. We are currently developing a retrieval technique for determining the microphysical parameters of crystalline PSCs that takes into account the faceted shape of the PSC particles. This approach utilizes finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations of particle optical properties. The accuracy and the free choice of the shape of the scattering particle make the FDTD technique a promising tool for the inversion of PSC lidar data. A first comparison of FDTD and T-matrix calculations will be presented.

Formation of Clustered DNA Damage after High-LET Irradiation: A Review

Radiation can cause as well as cure cancer. The risk of developing radiation-induced cancer has traditionally been estimated from cancer incidence among survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These data provide the best estimate of human cancer risk over the dose range for low linear energy transfer (LET) radiations, such as X- or gamma-rays. The situation of estimating the real biological effects becomes even more difficult in the case of high LET particles encountered in space or as the result of domestic exposure to particles from radon gas emitters or other radioactive emitters like uranium-238. Complex DNA damage, i.e., the signature of high-LET radiations comprises by closely spaced DNA lesions forming a cluster of DNA damage. The two basic groups of complex DNA damage are double strand breaks (DSBs) and non-DSB oxidative clustered DNA lesions (OCDL). Theoretical analysis and experimental evidence suggest there is increased complexity and severity of complex DNA damage with increasing LET (linear energy transfer) and a high mutagenic or carcinogenic potential. Data available on the formation of clustered DNA damage (DSBs and OCDL) by high-LET radiations are often controversial suggesting a variable response to dose and type of radiation. The chemical nature and cellular repair mechanisms of complex DNA damage have been much less characterized than those of isolated DNA lesions like an oxidized base or a single strand break especially in the case of high-LET radiation. This review will focus on the induction of clustered DNA damage by high-LET radiations presenting the earlier and recent relative data.

Estimating Marine Aerosol Particle Volume and Number from Maritime Aerosol Network Data

As well as spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD), aerosol composition and concentration (number, volume, or mass) are of interest for a variety of applications. However, remote sensing of these quantities is more difficult than for AOD, as it is more sensitive to assumptions relating to aerosol composition. This study uses spectral AOD measured on Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN) cruises, with the additional constraint of a microphysical model for unpolluted maritime aerosol based on analysis of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) inversions, to estimate these quantities over open ocean. When the MAN data are subset to those likely to be comprised of maritime aerosol, number and volume concentrations obtained are physically reasonable. Attempts to estimate surface concentration from columnar abundance, however, are shown to be limited by uncertainties in vertical distribution. Columnar AOD at 550 nm and aerosol number for unpolluted maritime cases are also compared with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, for both the present Collection 5.1 and forthcoming Collection 6. MODIS provides a best-fitting retrieval solution, as well as the average for several different solutions, with different aerosol microphysical models. The average solution MODIS dataset agrees more closely with MAN than the best solution dataset. Terra tends to retrieve lower aerosol number than MAN, and Aqua higher, linked with differences in the aerosol models commonly chosen. Collection 6 AOD is likely to agree more closely with MAN over open ocean than Collection 5.1. In situations where spectral AOD is measured accurately, and aerosol microphysical properties are reasonably well-constrained, estimates of aerosol number and volume using MAN or similar data would provide for a greater variety of potential comparisons with aerosol properties derived from satellite or chemistry transport model data.

Decoupling of particles and dissolved iron downstream of Greenlandic glacier outflows

Glaciers can be a significant and locally dominant source of iron (Fe), a biologically essential micronutrient, in high latitude coastal seas. The vast majority of this glacial Fe delivery is associated with particles, yet the speciation of the solid-phase Fe and specifically the relationships that govern exchange between particulate and dissolved Fe phases in these environments are poorly described. Here, in this work, we performed measurements of in situ dissolved Fe (dFe) along meltwater and particle plumes in three transects around Disko Bay and Ameralik Fjord (West Greenland). Measurements of dFe were combined with Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis of ~40 suspended sediment samples obtained from the same transects and from select depth profiles down to 300 m. We observed relatively constant dFe levels (4 to 10 nM for nearly all dFe measurements) across fjords with widely varying particulate Fe(II) contents (from 20 to 90% Fe(II)), indicating that dFe concentrations had little dependence on the oxidation state of Fe in the suspended sediment. Particulate Fe data were grouped by underlying bedrock geology, with suspended sediment consisting of 80-90% biotite-like Fe(II) in fjords with Precambrian shield geology and poorly-ordered Fe(III) particles (<20-30% Fe(II)) in one fjord with suspended sediments derived from tertiary basalts. Our characterization data indicated no significant change in the average Fe oxidation state and bonding environment of particles along the fjord transects, implying that Fe(II) in biotite-like coordination is not a readily labile Fe form on this spatial scale. Finally, our results suggest that dFe in these glacially-modified coastal waters is buffered at a relatively constant low nM concentration due to factors other than particle Fe mineralogy and that glacier-derived Fe phases are relatively inert on this spatial scale.

ANS Winter 2024 Summary: MCCAFE: The Monte Carlo Constructor for ATR Fuel Elements

The Irradiation Experiment Neutronics Analysis Department at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has implemented a new analysis workflow for experiments in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). One key piece of this workflow is the Monte Carlo Constructor for ATR Fuel Elements, or MCCAFE. For each ATR operating cycle, the Reactor and Nuclear Safety Engineering (RNSE) Department first solves the core in eigenvalue mode and depletes the driver fuel materials. In a separate calculation, neutronics analysts model and deplete the materials of one or more irradiation experiments, usually in a series of fixed-source Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) models of the ATR for neutron transport calculations. It was desirable to use the results of the former calculations to inform the models of the latter. MCCAFE is a Python program developed using American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 procedures at INL. Its purpose is to take the calculated results from the RNSE depletion solutions and the measured or projected operating parameters from the Nuclear Data Management and Analysis System (NDMAS) to generate fixed-source models of the ATR core at given points in time across one or more cycles.

Solar modulation of protons and alpha particles at rigidities of 4-10 GV/c

The high statistics and high resolution rigidity spectra from geomagnetic cutoff to 160 GV/c were provided by a superconducting-magnet spectrometer flown on a balloon. The spectra above 8.3 GV/c fit a power law in rigidity for protons and alphas; below 8.3 GV/c, no clear evidence of solar modification is available. The analysis of data from 5.5 to 8.3 GV/c by the Gleeson-Axford model for solar modulation indicated that the modulation parameter was 0.3 + or - 0.05 Gev/nucleon; the spectra below 5.5 GV/c are being analyzed using a portion of the flight data recorded while the balloon was essentially stationary

Investigating ultrafine aerosol turbulent fluxes during atmospheric new particle formation events

New particle formation (NPF) is an important source of atmospheric aerosols, yet quantitatively predicting its occurrence remains challenging, partly because ground-based measurements cannot capture NPF accurately if they occur in the upper atmosphere. While observations have confirmed the presence of new particles near the top of the planetary boundary layer (PBL), their origins and the direction of their vertical transport have remained ambiguous. Here, we propose and validate an analytical framework using airborne eddy-covariance (EC) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to directly quantify the vertical flux of newly formed particles and determine its dominant vertical transportation direction. Analyzing data from a dedicated airborne campaign over the Southern Great Plains, we observed a persistent and strong downward particle flux during NPF events, with a mean value of 133.8 cm?3 m s?¹ downward flux in the entrainment zone, whereas fluxes on non-NPF days were negligible. Our spectral analysis further confirms that these directional fluxes can be reliably captured using standard 1 Hz aerosol instrumentation. These findings suggest that new particle formation, driven by the entrainment of air from the overlying residual/stable layer during PBL growth, is a significant and potentially understudied source of boundary layer aerosols. The framework presented here provides a methodology to correctly attribute NPF events to specific altitudes, thereby improving the mechanistic understanding required for accurate atmospheric models.

Dynamics of molecular associates in methanol/water mixtures

The dynamics of molecular associates in a methanol/water mixture was investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. By measuring the signal from four methanol/water samples differing only by their isotopic composition, the relative motion of the water to methanol molecules, i.e. their mutual dynamics, was determined at the nanoscale. The thus obtained nanoscopic mutual diffusion coefficient signals a significantly slower process than the single particle diffusion of either methanol or water in the system as well as their macroscopic mutual diffusion. The data do not provide any indication of microsegregation in this preeminent alcohol/water mixture; however, they do indicate the existence of long lived but dynamic molecular associates of water and methanol molecules. Our analysis of the structural relaxation shows that the lifetime of molecular association through hydrogen bonding determines the fact that viscosity of the mixtures at intermediate concentrations is higher than that of both pure components.

Search for in-band transitions in the candidate superdeformed band in Si 28

Background: Superdeformed (SD) bands are suggested by theory around Ca 40 and in lighter alpha-conjugate nuclei such as Mg 24 , Si 28 , and S 32 . Such predictions originate from a number of theoretical models including mean-field models and antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) calculations. While SD bands have been identified in Ca 40 and its near neighbors, evidence of their existence in the lighter, midshell nuclei is circumstantial at best. Additionally, the key evidence of superdeformation would be the observation of transitions with high B ( E 2 ) transition strengths connecting states in a rotational sequence. This is challenging information to obtain since the bands lie at a high excitation energy and competition from out-of-band decay is dominant. Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to establish a new methodology to circumvent the difficulties in identifying and quantifying in-band transitions through directly populating candidate states in the SD band in Si 28 through inelastic alpha scattering, selecting such states with a spectrometer, and measuring their gamma-ray decay with a large array of high-purity germanium detectors, allowing direct access to electromagnetic transition strengths. Methods: Excited states in Si 28 were populated in the Si 28 ( α , α ' ) reaction using a 130-MeV He 4 beam from the K140 AVF cyclotron at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics. Outgoing alpha particles were analyzed using the Grand Raiden spectrometer positioned at an angle of 9 . 1 ° to favor the population of states with J ≈ 4 . Coincident gamma rays were detected with the CAGRA array of 12 HPGe clover detectors augmented by a set of four large LaBr 3 detectors. Results: Data analysis showed that it was possible to identify additional low-energy transitions in competition with high-energy decays from excited states in Si 28 in the vicinity of 10 MeV. However, while the candidate 4 + SD state at 10.944 MeV was populated, a 1148-keV transition to the candidate 2 + SD state at 9.796 MeV was not observed, and only an upper limit for its transition strength of B ( E 2 ) < 43 W.u. could be established. This contradicts AMD predictions of ≈ 200 W.u. for such a transition. Conclusion: The present study strongly rejects the hypothesis that the candidate set of states identified in Si 28 represents an SD band, which demonstrates the potential of the methodology devised here.

Detection of a Cobalt-Containing Interphase at the Li 6 PS 5 Cl-NMC111 Interface by In Situ μ XANES and EIS

Sulfide electrolyte all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASLBs) with uncoated Li-Ni x Mn y Co 1–x–y O 2 (NMC) cathodes suffer from a large capacity loss during initial cycling and an increase in cell impedance. Decomposition reactions are known to occur at the Li 6 PS 5 Cl-NMC111 interface due to incompatibility between the two materials. If a stabilizing coating is applied to the NMC, it delivers full capacity during initial charge. However, the loss in capacity during discharge still occurs. The interface was studied by μ XANES and through EIS analysis. A chemically-formed interphase was detected by μ XANES, evident from reduction of Co at an uncoated NMC particle surface. This interphase was produced by decomposition at rest. To study the effect of the interphase on electrochemically active surface area, piecewise in situ EIS was performed and the data was modeled using a transmission line model (TLM). The charge transfer resistance R CT was used to estimate the volume specific active surface area (a act ). The median value for a act was 296 cm –1 , a factor of 7.5 lower than the theoretical value of 2216 cm –1 . This provided evidence of a lower electrochemically active surface area in the ASLB.

Phase-space Energization of Ions in Oblique Shocks

Abstract Examining energization of kinetic plasmas in phase space is a growing topic of interest, owing to the wealth of data in phase space compared to traditional bulk energization diagnostics. Via the field-particle correlation (FPC) technique and using multiple means of numerically integrating the plasma kinetic equation, we have studied the energization of ions in phase space within oblique collisionless shocks. The perspective afforded to us with this analysis in phase space allows us to characterize distinct populations of energized ions. In particular, we focus on ions that reflect multiple times off the shock front through shock-drift acceleration, and how to distinguish these different reflected populations in phase space using the FPC technique. We further extend our analysis to simulations of three-dimensional shocks undergoing more complicated dynamics, such as shock ripple, to demonstrate the ability to recover the phase-space signatures of this energization process in a more general system. This work thus extends previous applications of the FPC technique to more realistic collisionless shock environments, providing stronger evidence of the technique’s utility for simulation, laboratory, and spacecraft analysis.

Particle excitation, airglow and H2 vibrational disequilibrium in the atmosphere of Jupiter

The extreme ultraviolet EUV emission produced by particle excitation of the hydrogen atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn is examined using model calculations to determine the nature of the energy deposition process and the effect of such processes on atmospheric structure. Tasks ranging from examination of phenomenologically related processes on Saturn and Titan to analysis of experimental laboratory data required to allow accurate modeling of emissions from hydrogenic atmospheres are investigated. An explanation of the hydrogen H Ly(alpha) bulge in Jupiter's emission from the equatorial region is presented. It is proposed that Saturn, rather then Titan is the major source of the extended hydrogen cloud. The atomic hydrogen detected at the rings of Saturn may originate predominantly from the same source. A cross calibration is obtained between the Pioneer 10 EUV photometer and the Voyager EUV spectrometers, thus providing a direct measure of the temporal morphology of Jupiter between a minimum and a maximum in solar activity. Atomic and molecular data required for the research program are analyzed. An extrapolation of conditions in the upper atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn produces a predicted condition at Uranus in terms of excitation and hydrogen escape rates that may be observed at Voyager-Uranus encounter.

Electrostatic waves due to field-aligned electron beams in the low-latitude boundary layer

Mass-resolved ion, electron, and plasma wave data obtained from several low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) crossings by the AMPTE CCE satellite are analyzed. The data clearly separate the LLBL from the adjacent magnetosheath and magnetosphere. Attention was focused on wave-particle interactions involving electrons. Electron beams were found to be present in the LLBL during the southward interplanetary magnetic field, along with a simultaneous enhancement of electrostatic waves with parallel polarization. Linear theory analysis shows that for plasma conditions in the LLBL, electron beams are unstable to electrostatic waves that propagate parallel to the local magnetic field, in agreement with observations. A numerical simulation study of the beam-plasma interaction in the LLBL shows that the instability saturates by thermalization of the beam but that a beamlike structure can still remain in the electron distribution for certain initial parameters. It is suggested that peaks in the electron velocity distribution function may be found in the LLBL away from the beam source region.
