The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) mission will provide the science community with high-vertical resolution and nearly global observations of ozone, aerosols, water vapor, nitrogen dioxide, and other trace gas species in the stratosphere and upper-troposphere. SAGE III/ISS measurements will extend the long-term Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (SAM) and SAGE data record begun in the 1970s. The multi-decadal SAGE ozone and aerosol...
Methane (CH4) is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG). Its 100-year global warming potential (GWP) is 25 times larger than that for carbon dioxide. The 100-yr integrated GWP of CH4 is sensitive to changes in OH levels. Methane's atmospheric growth rate was estimated to be more than 10 ppb yr(exp -1) in 1998 but less than zero in 2001, 2004 and 2005 (Kirschke et al., 2013). Since 2006, the CH4 is increasing again. This phenomena is yet not well understood. Oxidation of...

Interior Antarctica is among the most remote places on Earth and was thought to be beyond the reach of human impacts when Amundsen and Scott raced to the South Pole in 1911. Here we show detailed measurements from an extensive array of 16 ice cores quantifying substantial toxic heavy metal lead pollution at South Pole and throughout Antarctica by 1889 - beating polar explorers by more than 22 years. Unlike the Arctic where lead pollution peaked in the 1970s, lead pollution in Antarctica was as...

Supported by the US National Science Foundation, a new 1500 m, approximately 40 ka old ice core will be recovered from South Pole during the 2014/15 and 2015/16 austral summer seasons using the new US Intermediate Depth Drill. The combination of low temperatures, relatively high accumulation rates and low impurity concentrations at South Pole will yield detailed records of ice chemistry and trace atmospheric gases. The South Pole ice core will provide a climate history record of a unique area...

Clouds cover approximately 60% of the earth's surface. When obscuring the satellite's field of view (FOV), clouds complicate the retrieval of ozone, trace gases and aerosols from data collected by earth observing satellites. Cloud properties associated with optical thickness, cloud pressure, water phase, drop size distribution (DSD), cloud fraction, vertical and areal extent can also change significantly over short spatio-temporal scales. The radiative transfer models used to retrieve column...

Fire emissions associated with tropical land use change and maintenance influence atmospheric composition, air quality, and climate. In this study, we explore the effects of representing fire emissions at daily versus monthly resolution in a global composition-climate model. We find that simulations of aerosols are impacted more by the temporal resolution of fire emissions than trace gases such as carbon monoxide or ozone. Daily-resolved datasets concentrate emissions from fire events over...

NASAs Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) Flux Pilot Project (FPP) was designed to better understand contemporary carbon fluxes by bringing together state-of-the art models with remote sensing datasets. Here we report on simulations using NASAs Goddard Earth Observing System Model, version 5 (GEOS-5) which was used to evaluate the consistency of two different sets of observationally constrained land and ocean fluxes with atmospheric CO2 records. Despite the strong data constraint, the average...

Saturn Pyro is the authorized PSL PQ1 Power Quality Relay in Malaysia. The PQ1 Power Quality Sensor detects power quality problems on standard AC power mains. It is a single-phase monitor that can also be used phase-tophase or phase-to-neutral on three-phase power systems. The PQ1 costs less than one-tenth as much as traditional power quality monitors. It quickly pays for itself by reducing service calls on automatic manufacturing systems, semiconductor tools, medical equipment, elevator controls, and other complex systems. You can select one of 16 pre-programmed industry-standard depth/duration response curves, covering voltage sags, swells, high-frequency impulses, and power interruptions.Collegiate tier winners show off their products on stage with judges and Scheinfeld Center Director Julie Samson (center).

Local student entrepreneurs dazzled both the judges and the packed SBCC Fé Bland Forum audience at the 8th Annual Scheinfeld New Venture Challenge business plan and pitch competition on Friday, April 27.
Students from Santa Barbara City College, Antioch University, and UC Santa Barbara kicked off the collegiate tier of the event, followed by the high school tier, which featured students from San Marcos and Cabrillo High Schools. The up-and-coming entrepreneurs competed for over $15,000 in cash and scholarship awards, which will be presented to the student winners at the May 4 Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards dinner.
The $5,500 grand prize in the collegiate tier went to Santa Barbara City College student Jake Zander for his venture Feel Me Footsouls, a special shoe insole designed specifically for Converse shoes.
Heather Luikart, also from SBCC, took home 2nd place and $3,000 for Peregrin8 Travel, her convertible travel bag. The 3rd place prize of $2,000 went to SBCC student Adam Verhasselt for VOIID, an online service that enables artists to print and sell their limited edition artwork on clothing.
In the high school tier, Amanda Moores won 1st place honors and $1,000 for her stress reducing app, Flora. Trevor Eubank and his pitch for Hinterland, a hybrid hammock/sleeping bag, came in 2nd, and 3rd place went to Natalie Hey-Shipton for her venture myHunnybox, a subscription box service that enables families to easily send care packages to college students. All three winners in the high school tier are students at San Marcos High in the San Marcos Entrepreneurship Academy (SMEA).
The 8th Annual Spirit of Entrepreneurship Awards takes place Friday, May 4 at 5:30 pm at the Hilton Santa Barbara Seaside Resort. Visit soefoundation.org for more information.
