The groundfish Habitat Use Database (HUD) was developed by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) scientists as part of the 2005 Pacific Coast Groundfish EFH EIS) (NMFS 2005) to address the need for habitat-use analysis supporting groundfish EFH. The 2005 database captured information on habitat use by groundfish covered under the Fisheries Management Plan as documented in the updated life history descriptions found in Appendix B.2 of the EFH Final EIS, (NMFS 2005). The groundfish life history descriptions are the product of a literature review that collected and organized information on the range, habitat, migrations and movements, reproduction, growth and development, and trophic interactions for each of the fishery management unit (FMU) species by life stage. The HUD was originally developed as a Microsoft Access relational database application by MRAG Americas Inc. consultants to the 2005 EFH EIS. The 2005 Microsoft Access HUD was a complete database package, and included forms for data entry, stored procedures to check database and referential integrity, and a reference document. The MS Access database format also provided a graphical user interface (GUI) to the database, thus allowing fisheries research scientists to build and maintain the database. In 2006, the database was migrated to an Oracle enterprise class database to better support public access and the Internet application needs of the Pacific Coast Ocean Observation System (PaCOOS) West Coast Habitat Server. This platform migration provided a more stable technology stack to build web applications upon, but also moved management and maintenance out of the hands of fisheries research staff and under the control of IT and Database Administrator staff at the NWFSC. 2005 habitat-use analysis supporting groundfish EFH.

Global Earthquake Hazard Frequency and Distribution is a 2.5 minute grid utilizing Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) Earthquake Catalog data of actual earthquake events exceeding 4.5 on the Richter scale during the time period 1976 through 2002. To produce the final output, the frequency of an earthquake hazard is calculated for each grid cell, and the resulting grid cells are then classified into deciles (10 classes consisting of an approxiamately equal number of grid cells). The greater the grid cell value in the final output, the higher the relative frequency of hazard posed by earthquakes. This dataset is the result of collaboration among the Columbia University Center for Hazards and Risk Research (CHRR) and Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge is the second largest atoll under U.S. jurisdiction in the Pacific Ocean. Until recently, little was known about benthic communities and, more specifically, algal abundance at Palmyra aside from species lists generated during 1916, 1955 and 1959 expeditions. Since 2000, NOAAs Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, Coral Reef Ecosystem Division has conducted six rapid ecological assessment surveys to monitor and gather baseline data for reefs surrounding Palmyra. Additionally, Scripps Institute of Oceanography documented benthic community structure on Palmyras reefs during a 2005 expedition. This study reports on the current state of knowledge for benthic community composition and algal community structure across the atoll. Benthic communities in fore reef areas 10 m depth were dominated by reef builders coral and crustose coralline algae covering 50 of the benthos, while turf algae, macroalgae, soft corals, and other invertebrates covered the remaining surfaces. Species of Halimeda, Lobophora, Dictyosphaeria, Galaxaura and Dichotomaria were among the 5 most common macroalgae recorded. Overall, the reef communities around Palmyra appear relatively healthy. Developing comprehensive species lists and continuing benthic monitoring will allow reef managers to detect ecosystem changes, including possible introduced and invasive species.

Description

The Electromagnetic Plasmoid Thruster (EMPT) program demonstrated a next generation propulsion system based on the purely electromagnetic generation and Lorentz acceleration of a magnetically self-confined plasmoid. The Peristaltic Dynamic Acceleration (PDA) stage is an addition to the exhaust of the EMPT that takes an existing, translating plasmoid and adds directed, kinetic energy with a set of sequenced magnetic field coils. The EMPT creates a high-density, magnetized plasmoid known as a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) using external RF antennas that produce a Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF) throughout the thruster. The large FRC plasma currents together with the radial magnetic field result in a large JxB force that rapidly accelerates the FRC propellant out of the thruster. The Dynamic Acceleration stage then initiates a pulsed magnetic field behind the FRC increasing the magnetic field pressure gradient. These pulsed field coils can very efficiently add kinetic energy to a magnetized, closed-field plasmoid and be used to increase velocity and average thruster power from 1 kW to greater than 20 kW, all without any changes to the original thruster. The EMPT will be operated at maximum ionization efficiency at 2 kHz. The PDA will then accelerate the high-mass plasmoid to the required mission velocities. In this way power can be added to the device incrementally depending on the mission and power available. This also enables a so-called dual mode thruster that can operate over a wide range of power, thrust, and specific impulse while still maintaining constant gas flow for very long life, deep space missions. The PDA allows for the incremental development and qualification of the thruster, dramatically reducing total costs. Finally, the ability to rapidly and cheaply increase the power of a space-qualified thruster by factors of ten allow for the propulsion technology to grow with the available power for NASA science missions.

Please note that the machine on which these AVHRR data are processed has reached its life expectancy and will no longer be available as of 02 June 2008 until further notice. NSIDC collects and archives 1.1 km High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) and Local Area Coverage (LAC) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery. Original data are from recorded and rebroadcast LAC images for both polar regions and from several HRPT receiving stations, including McMurdo, Palmer, Casey, Fairbanks, Prince Albert, and Tromso. NSIDC receives these data from a polar subset of the EROS Data Center (EDC) Global Land 1 km AVHRR Data Set and from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, which collects Antarctic HRPT data from the McMurdo and Palmer stations. NSIDC received LAC data for the Southern Hemisphere through 1998 from a University of Colorado Domestic Satellite (DOMSAT) receiver and from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Satellite Active Archive (SAA) after 1998. These sources provide nearly complete coverage of sea ice, land ice, and polar land in the north and south polar regions, at 1.1 km resolution for all five bands of the AVHRR sensor. Data extend from April 1992 through the present for the Southern Hemisphere, and from August 1993 through the present for the Northern Hemisphere. Archived scenes, browse imagery, and information on location, time of acquisition, image size, and data quality are available via the AVHRR Polar 1 Km Level 1B Data Set Product Web site.

FTT proposes development of a magnetically actuated dynamic seal. Dynamic seals are used throughout the turbopump in high-performance, pump-fed, liquid rocket engines for a variety of purposes. The most common applications are in the lift-off seal (LOS), inter-propellant seal (IPS), and balance piston seals high-pressure orifice (HPO), low-pressure orifice (LPO), and inner diameter impeller shroud seal (eye seal). The system solution for conventional seals represents a compromise between the turbopump mechanical design, primarily flowpath, and secondary flowpath design that results in increased leakage, increased seal wear, and reduced balance piston load capacity that reduces performance, throttle-ability, thrust-to-weight, reliability, and operability. The magnetically actuated seal eliminates this compromise and provides significant improvement in performance, throttle-ability, thrust-to-weight, reliability, and operability. Phase 1 resulted in a significant advancement of the technology by demonstrating a magnetically actuated face seal in both ambient and cryogenic conditions, characterizing the seal and actuator performance, and quantifying the performance improvements for the turbopump and engine. Phase 2 will advance the technology from TRL 3 to 5. The technology is applicable to booster engines, in-space engines, and ascent/descent engines.
