Summary
Description
In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States extending its territory 200 nautical miles from the coasts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories and possessions. In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology began a program to map these areas of the EEZ. The U.S. Pacific Coast was the first EEZ region to be mapped and launched GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) mapping program. The area covered by this survey extended from the Mexican to the Canadian borders and from the continental shelf edge, at about the 400-meter bathymetric contour, to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Survey of the U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ was completed in four consecutive cruises conducted from late April through mid-August 1984. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 36 digital mosaics of an approximate 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

NASA GRC is developing fission power system technology for future space transportation and surface power applications. The early systems are envisioned in the 10 to 100kWe range and have an anticipated design life of 8 to 15 years with no maintenance. A non-nuclear system ground test in thermal-vacuum is planned by NASA GRC to validate technologies required to transfer reactor heat, convert the heat into electricity, reject waste heat, process the electrical output, and demonstrate overall system performance. This SBIR project by ACT will develop a modular single-facesheet Variable Conductance Heat Pipe (VCHP) radiator, operating near 450K, to support the Technology Demonstration Unit (TDU) for surface power. Based on the Phase I results and the experience gained during previous NASA SBIR VCHP radiator programs, ACT and VST will develop in Phase II a low cost high specific power modular radiator for the TDU. New features of this radiator include direct bonding to the titanium condenser and the fact that it is modular and therefore, the CTE mismatch on the manifold direction is eliminated. The modular radiator will consist of 12 clusters of 9 modules each. ACT will design the modular radiator, validate the radiator module, fabricate the heat pipes and test the clusters in ambient conditions before sending them to GRC. VST will further develop the GFRC direct bonding and attach the GFRC fins to all the heat pipes.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the Department of Interior WaterSmart Program compiled published estimates of groundwater discharge to streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin into a dataset and developed a geospatial database. For the purpose of this compilation, groundwater discharge to streams consists of base-flow, and may include contributions from groundwater discharge from various flow paths, lateral seepage, hyporheic flow, and irrigation return flow. Stream reaches from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) where there was groundwater discharge estimates were delineated in the geospatial database. Attributes describing the methods used for estimating groundwater discharge were created. Feature class attributes associated with each stream reach include: groundwater discharge (acre-ft/yr), method of measurement, report reference, defined reach, base flow index estimate (acre-ft/yr), and 8-digit HUC(s) (hydrologic unit code(s) for the reach). In addition, groundwater discharge estimates were calculated using attributes from a flow characteristics dataset (Wolock, 2003), the average annual base-flow index (BFI) value and the average daily streamflow value. The calculated groundwater discharge estimates were included in the database as separate attributes and were compared to reported estimates of groundwater discharge. Groundwater discharge estimates calculated using BFI were greater than reported groundwater discharge estimates.

SolRad-Net (Solar Radiation Network) is an established network of ground-based sensors providing high-frequency solar flux measurements in quasi-realtime to the scientific community and various other end users.This network was implemented as a companion to AERONET and its instrumentation are invariably collocated with AERONET sites. The Brazilian core of the present network was developed within the scientific framework of the LBA-ECO component of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia. Historically, SolRad-Net has preferentially selected sites that routinely experience intervals of biomass-burning, such as Amazônia and Sub-Saharan Africa for its long-term monitoring. Data that have been cleared as free of any operational problems are designated as Level 1.5. The raw, unscreened data are Level 1.0 by default and may contain observations that have been compromised for any of the (occasionally subtle) reasons described above. The Level 1.0 data are made available in the interest of presenting a comprehensive dataset and to provide full transparency of our methods, however any use of these data is strongly discouraged.

Optical Physics Company (OPC) proposes to develop a high accuracy version of its interferometric star tracker capable of meeting the milli-arcsecond-level pointing requirements. Such high accuracy tracker can be used for precision pointing of the large telescope, and can permit open-loop pointing of narrow-beam laser signals. The latter can enable deep-space lasercom missions without the technical and operational complexity of a ground based beacon. OPC has already built multiple versions of this star tracker for several applications for various DoD customers. Current technical maturity of the star tracker is TRL 5- which is expected to advance to TRL 6 during the proposed Phase I project due to space readiness and flight tests under parallel efforts. During the proposed Phase I effort, OPC will first develop requirements. This will be followed by design trades and formulation of a detailed design. Phase I will conclude with a Preliminary Design Review (PDR). During Phase II, the design will be advanced to the Critical Design Review (CDR) level and a prototype will be built and tested. Given that the existing baseline designs for OPC's visible and SWIR band interferometric star trackers are at TRL 5, OPC has a head start.

The recent discovery of a second wild breeding population of the endangered Aleutian Canada goose Branta canadensis leucopareia on Chagulak Island suggested the possibility of natural expansion of geese to neighboring islands, if the introduced Arctic fox Alopex lagopus were eliminated. During the period of 17 May to 22 July 1983, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted an eradication program on Arnukta Island, located about four miles southwest of Chagulak. Eradication of the fox was initially attempted using leghold traps, sodium cyanide devices M44 coyote getters, rifles, shotguns and a pistol. Diaphacinone poison baits were distributed across Amata along fox trails at the end of the season. Initial results appear promising with 49 fox being killed and all major fox trails revegetating by late summer. Previous eradication programs have succeeded on Agattu, AlaidNizki and Amchitka islands in the western Aleutians.

Snowshoe hares Lepus americanus are a keystone herbivore in the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, and are cyclical over an approximately 8 to 11 year period. Monitoring hare populations can provide predictive information for other species. We monitored snowshoe hare abundance and trend during two time periods 19901994 and 20002004 at permanent pellet transects within the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge Tetlin Refuge in eastern Alaska. Data gathered during 19901994 coincided with other information suggesting the population density peaked in 19901991; results from the 20002004 time period did not demonstrate a similar pattern. Recommendations are made for future survey efforts.

This data set represents the results of analyses conducted by the Department of Defense to assess the compatibility of offshore wind development with military assets and activities. The assessments were developed for the renewable energy task force process being led by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). The task force process is being carried out as part of the offshore renewable energy rule that stems from authority granted to BOEM for leasing Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lands for energy development and allows government agencies with an interest in activities on the OCS to provide information describing their existing activities. These data should not be used to infer compatibility or conflict between military assets or activities with any use other than offshore wind. The data set contains 4 categories of OCS lease blocks: No Restrictions - No significant conflicts with offshore wind development were identified. Site Specific Stipulations - Potential conflicts exist and may require site specific measures be developed to avoid or limit impacts to military assets or activities. Recommended Wind Exclusion - Significant conflicts exist between offshore wind and military assets or activities. Not Assessed - Areas without a red, yellow, or green color fill have not been assessed for compatibility with offshore wind.
