Ionospheric profiles are modeled by quasiparabolic layers of two forms: normal layers having electron density maxima and valley layers having a minimum. Ray fans are displayed, demonstrating implementation of the equations on a minicomputer (SEL 810A) and a microcomputer (Tektronix 4051). The microcomputer program (in BASIC) used to calculate the single-layer propagation is included. The data analyzed was from an auroral rocket probe, AF 10.312, launched in 1974 from Poker Flats, Alaska. The instrumentation is described in an AF Geophysics Laboratory Technical Report AFCRL-TR-75-0023. The data were from both a low energy and high energy electron spectrometer, which measured fluxes at 1-100 eV and 1-20 KeV respectively. The rocket flight was north along a geomagnetic meridian, crossing the Harang discontinuity and several non optical auroral arcs. Data represents the first available electron flux measurements over such an extensive energy range (1 eV to 20 KeV) at an instant of time and for a number of altitudes. The flux distribution to the south of the discontinuity showed two 'bumps', one at 5 eV and the other at 4 KeV due to a lack of loss mechanisms at the lower energy and by the monoenergetic flux from space for the higher. The fluxes generally decreased with decreasing altitude as expected. No pitch angle dependence was discovered. South of the discontinuity peak fluxes were centered on 2 KeV. An order of magnitude increase in flux at energies less than 10 keV were measured while the discontinuity was crossed (rocket was at 165 Km). In the auroral arcs, the peak flux was at 7 KeV. Wave particle interactions were interpreted as the cause for the pattern of change with altitude of the greater than 1 KeV and less than 10 eV fluxes. N79-22689# Texas Instruments, Inc., Dallas.

Both facilities are potential sites for MX missile system installations. For each site, peak around motion risk curves, for annual risks ranging between values of 1.0 and 0.001, were estimated, based on seismicity characteristics of the risk regions surrounding each facility. Difficulties in evaluating the risk at NTS were caused by unannounced nuclear tests and induced seismic activity in the area of study. Composite design reponse spectra were generated for each site corresponding to various levels of annual risk to provide a representation of seismic risk in a form directly useful to the engineering community. Finally, the possible effects which might result from seismic activity on potenially active faults near each site were considered. Author (GRA) N79-22690# Ohio State Univ., Columbus.

AN INVESTIGATION OF TWO MODELS FOR THE DEGREE VARIANCES OF GLOBAL COVARIANCE FUNCTIONS Interim Report Christopher Jekeli Sep. 1978 80 p refs (Contract F19628-76-C-0010; AF Proj. 7600) (AD-A063196; DGS-275; AFGL-TR-78-0235; SR-18) Avail: NTIS HC A05/MF A01 CSCL 08/5 Degree variances of the covariance function for gravity anomalies are represented according to the two-component model suggested by Moritz in an attempt to arrive at a low horizontal gradient variance (200 E squared). The parameters of the model are determined through a least squares adjustment to data consisting of GEM 9 anomaly degree variances, as well as empirical point and mean anomaly variances. Results show that this model can accommodate the given point and mean anomaly variances and degree variances, while also yielding the desired low gradient variance. A comparison of this and a similar one-component model investigated by Tscherning and Rapp indicates that the latter cannot produce a low gradient variance together with a satisfactory fit to the data. Also, it does not adapt as well to the observed (GEM 9) attenuation of the anomaly degree variances. Author (GRA) The report surveys theoretical and experimental studies of ionospheric dynamics made during the contract period. Two major aspects of this topic were studied; the outflow of He(+) from the earth's ionosphere, and the effect of magnetospheric convection on the high latitude ionosphere. Model programs were written to study the general characteristics of the outflow of He(+) and also to make quantitative estimates of the escape flux of this ion. An existing model program for studying the effect of convection electric field on the F+region was updated and the N(+) ion was included in the model. Initial work was started to incorporate realistic convection trajectories in the model program. Experimental data from the S3-2 satellite was used to compare with theoretical predictions of both the variation of plasma density with perpendicular electric field and the onset of light ion outflow at high latitudes. While the light ion outflow showed good agreement with theory, the effects of perpendicular electric fields did not and provided further stimulus to incorporate the effect of convection trajectories in our ionospheric models.

SOIL MORPHOLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH WASTEWATER IRRIGATION Research Project Technical Completion Report, 1 Jul. 1975 31 Dec. 1978 T. W. Simpson and R. L. Cunningham Nov. 1978 212 p refs (Contract DI-14-34-0001-8040) (PB-291399/4; W79-02817; OWRT-A-045-PA(1)) Avail: NTIS HC A10/MF A01 CSCL 08M Fifteen topographically matched pit transects were examined in treatment areas. Detailed profile descriptions and sketches were prepared for each transect. The morphologic data were quantified using a relative morphology rating scale developed to show differences in morphologic properties that could be related to hydraulic properties that had been significantly altered due to wastewater irrigation. This total score was used to establish suitability levels for sites based on the scores from the relative profile rating scale. Potential longevity of the site for wastewater irrigation was estimated using the average annual percentage of decrease in the relative profile rating score for all treatments, assuming a linear rate of change. U.S. EPA (1975) guidelines were used to make decisions on suitability using morphologic criteria. Morphologic properties such as mottling, soil structure and moist consistence have changed due to wastewater irrigation. The 118 and 231 cm per year treatment areas have been altered sufficiently so they are not suitable for irrigation. The 59 cm per year area was considered marginally suitable for continued wastewater irrigation. GRA A glacial silty clay was compacted in a field test pad to determine what variables control density and strength and their variabilities. Correlation was attempted to provide a prediction process for the field result. A procedure was identified by which quality assurance and design engineers can interpret and write compaction specifications that insure a desired field strength. Strength is controlled by water content, density, and incompactive effort. Dry density is controlled by water content, compactive effort, and the interaction between them. The quantitative influence of each constituent variable varied 'with type of equipment. Variabilities of both density and strength are significant. A procedure is presented for this soil which develops a computer tabulation of the variables to allow an estimate of field compacted strength knowing inspection test results. A procedure to allow the design engineer to directly determine his compaction specification to insure a desired strength and its variability is developed. GRA N79-22699# Arizona Univ., Tucson.

Microfilms Order No. 7907695 A method was developed to increase the amount of climatic information obtained from observational records of climatic variables such as temperature, humidity, radiation, and wind that are only one or a few years long. The method relates the climatic variables at the observational site for each day of the record to the sea level and 500 mb atmospheric pressure fields over a large area surrounding the site. The climatic variables for days not in the record can then be estimated from the relatively long and reliable record of pressure data. The method relates conditions at the observational site to the pressure fields by assigning days to sets of circulation types, developed from eight years of pressure data by a SAHN centroid clustering technique; the short observational record provides estimates of mean conditions for the circulation types at the site.

Microfilms Order No. 7909099 Optical data containing the relative positions of an observer, a target and an image of the target are inverted with a set of nonlinear polynomial equations to obtain a temperature profile near the earth's surface. The temperature that is predicted at a specific height with the inversion of optical data is verified with a temperature that was measured with thermocouples when the optical data were collected. When the maximum uncertainty of + or - 0.04 C in the measured temperature is known, the largest difference between the measured temperature and the temperature obtained with the optical data is within + or 0.02 C. The inversion of optical data with these nonlinear polynomial equations produces a set of coefficients that is used to calculate the temperature profile. Dissert. Abstr.

Microfilms Order No. 7907221 Artificially produced hailstones of various diameters were suspended in the updraft of a small vertical wind tunnel and allowed to melt for time intervals up to five minutes. It is hypothesized that this melting is analogous to the wet growth phase of hailstones in supercooled clouds during the time when large accreted drops presumably form a layer of slowly freezing water on hail surfaces. It was observed that films of liquid water which accumulated on the hailstones surface served to mold and reshape the hailstone from its original shape. In clouds, the development of various shapes is believed to be the result of aerodynamic molding of the surface of the hailstone during the wet growth phase by a film of liquid water. The surface temperature of the stone rapidly comes to O C when covered by such a film and the shape which develops is dependent on the terminal velocity of the stone. Dissert. Abstr.

Microfilms Order No. 7908316 A three-dimensional model of a severe, rotating, Great Plains supercell thunderstorm in its steady state right- or left-moving stage was used to study the internal dynamics structure, and movement of a typical severe thunderstorm. Results indicate the jet-like inner core updraft of the model storm acts to a large extent as a fluid obstacle to the invading environmental air and is rather well protected from the effects of lateral entrainment. The storm has two updrafts: a primary updraft at the core attributable entirely to the Rankine combined vortex, and a secondary updraft induced by dynamical interaction between the storm's core and its environment. The secondary, dynamically induced updraft of a cyclonically rotating storm is in the right-front quadrant of right-moving storms and in the left-front quadrant of left-movers. The magnitude of the dynamically induced up- and downdrafts in the model is controlled by the vertical shear of the horizontal environmental winds relative to the storm. Dissert. Abstr.

VERTICAL MOTIONS IN THE EQUATORIAL MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE Final Report Morris Larry Weisman Washington NASA Apr. 1979 121 p refs (Contract NAS6-2726) (NASA-CR-3096) Avail: NTIS HC A06/MF A01 CSCL 04B A single station vertical velocity equation which considers ageostrophic and diabatic effects derived from the first law of thermodynamics and a generalized thermal wind relation is presented. An analysis and verification procedure which accounts for measurement and calculation errors as well as time and space continuity arguments and theoretical predictions are described. Vertical velocities are calculated at every kilometer between 25 and 60 km and for approximately every three hours for the above diurnal period at Kourou (French Guiana), Fort Sherman (Panama Canal Zone), Ascension Island, Antigua (British West Indies) and Natal (Brazil). The results, plotted as time series cross sections, suggest vertical motions ranging in magnitude from 1 or 2 cm/sec at 30 km to as much as 15 cm/sec at 60 km. Many of the general features of the results agree well with atmospheric tidal predictions but many particular features suggest that both smaller time scale gravity waves (periods less than 6 hours) and synoptic type waves (periods greater than 1 day) may be interacting significantly with the tidal fields. The results suggest that vertical motions can be calculated for the equatorial middle atmosphere and must be considered a significant part of the motion for time scales from 8 to 24 hours.

MESOSPHERIC HEATING DUE TO INTENSE TROPOSPHERIC CONVECTION Final Report Lauren Ludlum Taylor Washington NASA Apr. 1979 62 p refs (Contract NAS6-2818) (NASA-CR-3132) Avail: NTIS HC A04/MF A01 CSCL 04B A series of rocket measurements made twice daily at Wallops Island, Va., revealed a rapid heating of the mesosphere on the order of 10 K on days when thunderstorms or squall lines were in the area. This heating is explained as the result of frictional dissipation of vertically propagating internal gravity waves generated by intense tropospheric convection. Ray-tracing theory is used to determine the spectrum of gravity wave groups that actually reach mesospheric heights. This knowledge is used in an equation describing the spectral energy density of a penetrative convective element to calculate the fraction of the total energy initially available to excite those waves that do reach the level of heating. This value, converted into a vertical velocity, is used as the lower boundary condition for a multilayer A computer model to predict the frost formation process on a flat plate was developed for application to most environmental conditions under which frost occurs. The model was analytically based on a generalized frost thermal conductivity expression, on frost density and thickness rate equations, and on modified heat and mass transfer coefficients designed to fit the available experimental data. The broad experimental ranges reflected by the extremes in ambient humidities, wall temperatures, and convective flow properties in the various publications which were examined served to severely test the flexibility of the model. An efficient numerical integration scheme was developed to solve for the frost surface temperature, density, and thickness under the changing environmental conditions. The comparison of results with experimental data was very encouraging. Author N79-22707*# TRW Systems and Energy, Redondo Beach, Calif.

Thermohydrodynamic achievement of the pressure deficit from ambient necessary to sustain such swirls requires that a dry, compressionally heated, non-rotating downdraft of initially tropopause-level air lie within an annulus of rapidly swirling, originally low-level air ascending on a near-moistadiabatic locus of thermodynamic states. The two-cell structure furnishes an observable parameter possibly accessible to a passively instrumented, geosynchronous meteorological satellite with mesoscale resolution, for early detection of a severe tornado. Accordingly, the low-level turnaround region, in which the surface inflow layer separates to become a free ascending layer and for which inviscid modeling suffices, is examined quantitatively. Preliminary results indicate that swirl overshoot, i.e., swirl speeds in the turnaround region in excess of the maximum achieved in the potential vortex, is modest.

Earth emitted and earth reflected irradiances were computed at satellite altitude using data from a new in-flight calibration technique. Flux densitites and albedos were computed for the top of the earth's atmosphere. Monthly averages of these quantities over 100 latitude zones, each hemisphere, and the globe are presented for each month analyzed, and global distributions are presented for typical months. Emitted flux densities are generally lower and albedos higher than those of previous studies. This may be due, in part, to the fact that the ESSA 7 satellite was in a 3 p.m. Sun-synchronous orbit and some of the comparison data were obtained from satellites in 12 noon sun-synchronous orbits. The ESSA 7 detectors seem to smooth out spatial flux density variations more than scanning radiometers or wide-field-of-view fixed-plate detectors. Significant longitudinal and latitudinal variations of emitted flux density and albedo were identified in the tropics in a zone extending about + or - 25 deg in latitude.

A conclusion is drawn that the triggering of lightning with a laser pulse is feasible from the standpoint of the physics involved; but would require large laser apertures, short pulse lengths, and flux intensities at the aperture near the threshold for the breakdown of air.
