This work unit is part of a coupled 6.2-6.4 development effort to implement rapid transition of aerosol prediction and EO tactical decision aid capability to the Fleet and is carried out by NRL-Montery and SPAWAR-SSC. The coupled program will improve the components of the Target Acquisition Weather Software (TAWS) and couple operational EO tactical decision aids (TDA's) to numerical weather pre...

Fungal polysaccharides possess an important bioactive potential, including antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activity. The aim of this work was to determine the activity cytotoxicity against tumour non-tumour cell lines acidic (NAAPs) fungus Nothophellinus andinopatagonicus . effect NAAPs on cells evaluated by MTT assay flow cytometry. analyses determined that glucose most abundant monomer IR sp...

During an exceptionally warm September in 2016, unique and stable weather conditions contributed to a heat wave over Poland, allowing for observations of aerosol optical properties, using a variety of ground-based and satellite remote sensors. The data set collected during 11–16 September 2016 was analysed in terms of aerosol transport (HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory mo...

The overarching, long-term goal of the study is to explore the profound effect of aerosol-water interaction both on radiation propagation in, and the thermodynamic structure of, the marine boundary layer. Specific goals are: 1) compile a climatology of aerosol hygroscopicity for use in the NAAPS and COAMPS models, and, further, to develop a model parameterization of hygroscopicity based on aero...

Abstract. Using the Vector LInearized Discrete Ordinate Radiative Transfer (VLIDORT) code as main driver for forward model simulations, a first-of-its-kind data assimilation scheme has been developed assimilating Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aerosol index (AI) measurements into Naval Aerosol Analysis and Predictive System (NAAPS). This study suggests that both root mean square error (RMSE)...

Abstract. Monitoring and modeling aerosol particle life cycle in Southeast Asia (SEA) is challenged by high cloud cover, complex meteorology, the wide range of species, sources, transformations found throughout region. Satellite observations are limited, there few situ extinction profiles, properties, environmental conditions. Therefore, accurate model outputs crucial for This work evaluates Na...
