Book covers for Madeleine L'Engle's classic Time series. In her 2004 New Yorker profile of Madeleine L'Engle, Cynthia Zarin quotes a friend who says "there are really two kinds of girls. Those who read Madeleine L'Engle when they were small, and those who didn't." I was definitely one who *did* read Madeleine L'Engle and was influenced by her thoughtful, sensitive characters and their quests to make things right in their world. When I thought about making book covers for her books, I was inspired by Robert and Sonia Delaunay's Orphism art movement. Their experiments in color seemed a perfect correlation to L'Engle's understanding of the universe as a place of harmony and joy: a musical geometry that can be shattered by the evil actions of the Echthroi or set right by the protagonist Meg Murry.
I'm proud to announce that my work is in a show along with other artists of the Dalvero Academy at the Mystic Seaport Museum. We are sharing the reportage we created around the historic 38th Voyage of the Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaling ship in existence, as well as our own personal explorations of the whaling industry. You can find out more information about the exhibit here at our website.
I drew this on location in Boston when the Charles W. Morgan made a stop there on her historic 38th Voyage. I had thought the Morgan quite a large ship until I saw her next to the behemoth that is the Constitution.
This drawing was made on location during the Sea Trials of the Charles W. Morgan after the sails had just been put on in New London. I had only ever seen the whaleship without sails and they added a whole new dimension to drawing her. They added so much drama and excitement because they were ever-changing with the wind: now billowing, now slack, now taut. And because of the activity they caused in the crew who were always swarming up the masts to attend to them.
I made this drawing on location in New London while the crew were bending on the sails in New London. It was a flurry of activity that involved perching on a line (a sheet, I guess they call it) under them, leaning against a spar, sometimes climbing up onto the spar. They all had to work together since the sails were too big for any one person to handle. It was, at all times, a five-person job.
To tell the truth, I can't remember if I made this little watercolor as the Morgan was leaving Mystic, or arriving somewhere else, but as you can see, I was in a romantic mood. I think this was my first sighting of her after Mystic, and it seemed to me the dawning of a new era for the whaleship, at the beginning of her 38th Voyage.
This seems too good to be true, but in the waters off Provincetown, this is exactly what happened. The crew put down a whaleboat that used to be for hunting whales, and as the whaleboat's crew was maneuvering around in the water, a curious whale came up and began to frolic around the whaleboat. The whale approached in complete innocence, and it broke my heart a little. If we were still in the business of killing them, this is how easy it would have been. Happily, we were there for another purpose and with a different attitude, and I decided that would be the perfect moment to capture for a stamp to commemorate a new kind of meeting between our two species.
I made this drawing at the Whale Naturalist Conference in Provincetown. Speakers had been invited to talk about the threats facing whales today. After enumerating the threats, one of the speakers talked about the difficulty of protecting them since they live their lives out there, free in the ocean. "It's not like we can keep them in boxes," he said. And I thought about how happy I would be if I could keep them in boxes, safe from big ships that would strike them, and fishing lines and nets that might entangle them, and pollution that would poison them. I can't keep them in boxes, but I can make a drawing of it. So I did.
This is the piece on view at Dalvero Academy's show, Journey of Transformation at Mystic Seaport.
Whales are the largest mammals yet live their lives unseen, to their detriment and ours: if we could more easily see them, perhaps their survival might be more urgent to us. When we do catch a glimpse of one, it's impossible not to be moved.
In my piece, "sea change" refers to the change in the ocean over the past two hundred years. The whales have suffered these changes: first, from whaling and today from other survival challenges created by humans. "Sea change" also refers to Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, in which the ocean transforms the substance of the body into riches. As the sea changes eyes to pearls, bones to coral in the song, so we changed the substance of the whales' bodies into commodities.
I hope that my piece makes visible that lost, uncommodifiable richness and inspires connection with the whales that still remain.
I'm lucky enough to live in the greatest city on the planet, where scenes and people to draw are just outside my door.
People are among my favorite subjects to draw. I try to get a likeness, of course, but what I try for even more is the feeling they give me, drawn from their way of talking, their expressions and gestures, all the cues that express who they are beneath their externals.
I drew this lady singing a sea chantey at Mystic Seaport. The song she was singing, her simple dress, wholesome look, and rustic surroundings made it feel like we were back in the 19th century, wondering when our dear ones would return from the whaling voyage that took them away from us.
Trump is definitely the most fun politician to draw. His fingers always seem to be pointing at someone, his mouth pursed, color high. And who doesn't love drawing that hair!
One of the joys of drawing people is trying to use all the graphic tools at my disposal to convey not just what a person looks like, but their life experience, what it's like to be in their presence. This man had clearly been through good times and bad, and I tried to convey the impression he gave me of enduring all things, and surviving with warmth and humor intact.

Watching and documenting the restoration of this venerated whaler was a real joy.
The Mystic Seaport Magazine chose my piece for the cover of their quarterly magazine to let their readers know about the Dalvero Academy show Restoring a Past, Charting a Future.

Reportage is defined as 1) the reporting of news or information of general interest and 2) something reported. Whether it's the Millions March, a musical or theatrical performance, or the Annual Halloween Dog Parade, reportage always pushes me in unexpected directions.

Drawing on site is both an exploration and an experiment. You can never predict what will happen, who will wander into your drawing, so you're forced to react honestly, from observation.

I have a Boardman Comp mountain bike that cost close to a grand a couple of years ago. It has probably done about 200 miles tops. Perfect condition. If you are interested then I'd be happy to swap for a good lightweight road bike of similar value. http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/review-boardman-mtbht-comp-10-39600
I've just starterd doing triathlon, hence the move.
you'd be better off
a) asking this in the tri section of this site
b) asking on a bike forum such as Bike Radar or similar where they have classified sections
and "close to a grand a couple of years ago" is barely going to get you decent road bike on a swap. you'd be best selling the MTB and using the money to help fund a decent road bike separately
EDIT: - just seen you've posted the same in the tri section
Cheers FB. I'll stick it on bike radar too. Cheers.
The link says £700. Not really close to a grand is it?
If anyone hears of some selling/wanting to swap a road bike please point them in my direction.

Terrible Duo
Just cos I could, and I do so love making Gaara sweat. *grins* In a good and bad way.
Love you have an amazing day my lovely. Sorry its so late, i wanted you to get your box before i posted them =D
Gaara watched the two blonde haired females closely, they were walking the streets of Suna arm in arm laughing wildly. Ever since the arrival of Naruto, Rock Lee, and Ino in Suna, which was three weeks ago, neither he nor the two leaf village ninja had been able to separate them. And since they were prone to get into trouble, all three had to take turns babysitting them.
Ino threw a haughty look over her shoulder, giggling she nudged Temari in the ribs who only glared at her. Lowering her voice to a whisper she leaned in close to Temari, who had stopped to look at a stand of jewellery. "I think your brother's sulking."
Temari laughed and glanced over her shoulder at her younger brother, "Gaara doesn't sulk, he broods. Besides, I dont think he's happy he got stuck with "babysitting" duties." Ino snorted, "then why is he following us around if he's supposed to be babysitting." Temari rolled her eyes, " 'cause he's babysitting us hun."
Ino's mouth formed a small 'o' as the words sunk in. Smirking she glanced at the all powerful Kazekage, who wasn't paying the least bit attention. Temari watched Ino carefully, she knew that what ever the mind-walker had thought of could only end up in trouble, which would mean that she would get the 'dissappointed with you' speech and the sad shake of the head from Gaara.
Smirking she leaned in closer to the slightly taller girl, "ok, what did you have in mind?"
Gaara heaved a sigh, there were far more important things that he could be doing right now than following his sister and Ino around Suna, like reading the reports of ninja who had returned from missions in the far east, or even looking over the candidates for next years chunin exams. Glancing up Garra froze.
He looked around wildly, but there was no sight of either blonde, "fuck!" His loud curse startled a group of first year academy students who were at that moment paying respect to him, Kazakage. The Sensei in charge of the class gave him a very nasty, dissaproving look, Gaara took a step closer to him. "Right now I could care less what you think of me, I just lost Temari and Ino. You know the kind of trouble they can get into together. So if you care about your students at all you will take them back to the academy at once."
Striding off he went back to the Kazekage's tower. Sooner of later they would come back to him. More than likely over the shoulder of some Jounin who they had pushed too far.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on his door, an hour, maybe two had passed since he had lost the two of them. Sighing, he closed the book he had been reading and tried to prepare himself for what was coming, "enter,"
Even before the door had opened he could hear the two of them giggling like a pair of rabid first years. He could feel a headache coming on.
Temari could feel the blood rushing to the top of her head making her light headed and dizzy. She atributed that to the fact that she couldn't stop the giggles coming out of her mouth. Until she had met Ino and befriended her on one of her liasons with the Leaf Village, she had never giggled in her life, nor would she have gone out deliberatly looking for trouble and having fun the entire time.
She was normally a 'get it done as quickly as possible' kinda girl and would rather be at home than wondering the streets of Suna, which hadn't changed in the slightest since she was a kid. It was wildly known in Suna that she hadn't much of patience at many times. The only times she possessed any patients was on the battle field. Then she was in her element. She could stalk and slowly hunt down her victims over a period of days and wait for them to tire themselves out in a fight by keeping long distance range from them and keeping them at bay with her wind attacks.
But as she tilted her head at an akward angle to catch a glimpse of her best friend who was also hanging upside down over the shoulder of one of the Jounin, she knew that she wouldn't trade anything to go back to how she was before. She knew that she would kill for that girl and that she would do the same for her. They were almost sisters, in their own eyes and the eyes of others around them. They were completely different, yet exactly the same.
Temari giggled as she checked out the finely shaped and toned ass of the Jounin whose shoulder she was currently over, he did have a very nice ass. She payed no attention as the Jounin entered the Kazekage's office, instead mapping out the contours of the finely shaped ass infront of her face. If she was going to get thrown over the shoulder of a Jounin she definetly had to find this one again and anger him enough that she got the humilation of having her own ass dangled in the air for all to see.
Glancing over at Ino she grinned and they did an akward high five as both Jounin began a report of what exactly had gone down. It was if she did say so herself some of there more brilliant work.
Because you know we would so do that. (laughs)
Love you my darling Wifey-Chan
love Tema-Chan

Rock fragment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rock fragment, in sedimentary geology, is a sand-sized particle or sand grain that is made up of multiple grains that are connected on the grain scale. These can include grains which are sand-sized themselves (a granitic rock fragment), or finer-grained materials (shale fragments). This definition is used for QFR ternary diagrams, provenance analysis, and in the Folk classification scheme, mainly in sandstones.

If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

I awaken to find it is light outside and to find myself on Robbie's bed, wearing a pair of Robbie's pyjamas. The digital alarm clock says 8:30. I sit up slowly, frowning at the pain that twinges across my back. My hands instinctively fold over my fat middle.
"Mornin' sleepyhead!" Robbie calls as I wander in. He is lying on the sofa.
"Robbie.. Did you sleep on the sofa..?" He gets up, and I notice he is wearing nothing but his boxers. His muscular chest distracts me for a moment, but then I press on. "And are these.. your pyjamas? You didn't...?"
"Yes, yes, NO." He smiles. "I'm no creeper, I just stripped you down to your undies and put those on you." He pulls me into his arms, as close as we can get with my bulging belly. "Pancakes?"
"Mmm, yes. Baby agrees!" I laugh as I feel a nudge, the baby kicking out. "Speaking of the baby, it's my twenty week scan today, feel like coming?" I ask hopefully.
"Sure babe." I shudder at Zach's old nickname for me. "What is it gorgeous?"
"N-nothing. I'm just a little.. cold. How about those pancakes? Can I get a shower while I wait?" I say, swiftly changing the subject.
" 'Course. First door on your left." He says, pointing me down the corridor and kissing my cheek before heading toward the kitchen. I wander slowly down the corridor and take a long, hot shower. When I get out I pull on my pants and bra, then wander around looking for the rest of my clothes. I look down at my chest self-consciously, more than aware that I now have the cleavage most girls only get in a push-up bra.
"Rob-rob? Where are my clothes?" I call. He steps out of the kitchen and lets his eyes run up and down my body. I fold my arms over my stomach, embarrassed.
"Even in pregnancy you have a rocking body," He smiles, and points at the armchair, where my t-shirt and jeans are lying, neatly folded. I pick them up and pull them on. In the pocket of my jeans is my iphone. I pull it out, expecting a few missed calls and texts from my parents. There is one, from my friend Josie. That's it. A lone tear slides down my face, and I wipe it away with the back of my hand. Do they really care that little about me?

Boaboo fungus was grown on Sullust. The fungus was grown in caverns, and had many different breeds. Sullustans such as Bungo Bung's father cultivated farms of the fungus. The fungus was then mashed into Boaboo juice and sold to the general populace. Boaboo fungus was very moist, and was tended mainly by droids.

Hi Chick,
To answer some of these questions:
Regarding the reserving of names, I made a proposal to the AHS Board
that they put together a committee to consider the AHS position on
registration. At this point, there are no AHS rules regarding registration
and any interpretation of the ICNCP (code) is left entirely to the
registrar. I don't have the latest copy of the code, but the last one was
pretty vague in many areas. The registrar works to find ways to register
plants that fit within the code, and decides how to interpret it. With
anything as vague as the code, there are always different ways to look at
it, and more than one correct interpretation.
Reserving names does not involve the code specifically. It isn't really
covered anywhere in there. With daylillies, that is an AH(em)S rule. An ICRA
(the registration authority - technically the registrar's boss) like the AHS
or the AH(em)S must follow the code, but can add additional rules of their
own. The AHS has few additional rules of its own.
If they go ahead with a committee to start looking at whether they
should have registration rules beyond what the code specifies, things like
reserving names will be looked at.
Regarding the establishment of names, the AH(em)S accepts establishment
in printed material for registration. The AHS does in fact have a rule in
place about filling out the forms being the only way to register hostas. The
ICNCP allows this in printed material, but not web material at this time as
George said. There is no reason we couldn't accept it too if the AHS decides
to go ahead with changing that rule and making additional more specific
I think there is a lot of confusion caused by the AHS not having much in
the way of rules, and some of the fireworks back then with the IAC and all
were really caused by there being no rules other than the minimums specified
in the code. For example, does anyone know (not just have an opinion, but
know) at what age a hosta should be registered? There is no rule on that
either. I'm in favor of having rules put together and spelled out, so
everyone can know what they are. All we have now are various opinions about
these things and no rules to say what is right and what is wrong.

text: Errors and uncertainties in measuring and modelling surface-atmosphere exchanges Andrew D. Richardson University of New Hampshire NSF/NCAR Summer Course on Flux Measurements Niwot Ridge, July 17 2008 Outline • Introduction to errors in data • Errors in flux measurements • Different methods to quantify flux errors • Implications for modeling 32,000 ± how much? (note the super calculation error!) Introduction to errors in data Errors are unavoidable, but errors don't have to cause disaster (Gare Montparnasse, Paris, 22 October 1895) Errors in data • Why do we have measurement errors? Errors in data • Why do we have measurement errors? – – – – – Instrument errors, glitches, bugs Instrument calibration errors Imperfect instrument design, less-than-ideal application Instrument resolution "Problem of definition": what are we trying to measure, anyway? • Errors are unavoidable and inevitable, but they can always be reduced • Errors are not necessarily bad, but not knowing what they are, or having an unrealistic view of what they are, is bad Contemporary political perspective "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." Donald Rumsfeld (February 12, 2002) What measurement uncertainty? • A measurement is never perfect - data are not "truth" (corrupted truth?) • "Uncertainty" describes the inevitable error of a measurement: x´ = x + + • x´ is what is actually measured; it includes both systematic () and random () components • typically, is assumed Gaussian, and is characterized by its standard deviation, () Types of errors • Random error – – – – Unpredictable, stochastic Scatter, noise, precision Cannot be corrected (because they are stochastic) Example: noisy analyzer (electrical interference) • Systematic error – – – – Deterministic, predictable Bias, accuracy Can be corrected (if you know what the correction is) Example: mis-calibrated analyzer (bad zero or bad span) Propagation of errors • Random errors: – true value, x, measure xi' = x + i, where i is a random variable ~N(0,i) – 'average out' over time, thus errors accumulate 'in quadrature' – expected error on (x1'+ x2') is , which is ( ) 2 1 • Systematic errors: 2 2 1 2 – fixed biases don't average out, but rather accumulate linearly – measure xi' = x + i,where i is not a random variable – expected error on (x1'+ x2') is just (1 + 2) • So random and systematic errors are fundamentally different in how they affect data and interpretation Precision and Accuracy: Target analogy • Accuracy: how close to center • Precision: how close together High accuracy, low precision High precision, low accuracy Evaluating Errors • Random errors and precision – Make repeated measurements of the same thing – What is the scatter in those measurements? • Systematic errors and accuracy – Measure a reference standard – What is the bias? – Not always possible to quantify some systematic errors (know they're there, but don't have a standard we can measure) What can we do about errors? • (Honestly) quantify sources of error – Random – Systematic • Minimize/eliminate them – Identify ways to reduce specific sources of error • Examples: more frequent calibration, better QC procedures, reduce instrument noise – Correct for biases where possible • Evaluate reductions in error Why do we care about quantifying errors? Why do we care about quantifying errors? • • • • • • How much confidence do we have in the data? How certain are we about a particular measurement? How close to the "true" value are we? Are our data biased? In which direction? Errors influence our interpretation of data Errors reduce the usefulness of the information in our data • Errors in data propagate to subsequent analyses Random errors lead to "statistical universes" • The observed data are just one realization, drawn from a "statistical universe of data sets" (Press et al. 1992) • Different realizations of the random draw lead to different estimates of "true" model parameters (or other statistics calculated from data) • Parameters estimates are therefore themselves uncertain (but we want to describe their distributions!) A statistical universe Monte Carlo Example • Two options for propagating errors – Complicated mathematics, based on theory and first principles – "Monte Carlo" simulations 1. Characterize uncertainty 2. Generate synthetic data (model + uncertainty) i.e. new realization from "statistical universe" 3. Estimate statistics or parameters, P, of interest 4. Repeat (2 & 3) many times 5. Posterior evaluation of distribution of P Viva Las Vegas! "Offered the choice between mastery of a five-foot shelf of analytical statistics books and middling ability at performing statistical Monte Carlo simulations, we would surely choose to have the latter skill." William H. Press, Numerical Recipes in Fortran 77 Why you should learn a programming language (even fossil languages like BASIC): It's really easy and fast to do MC simulations. In spreadsheet programs, it is extremely tedious (and slow), especially with large data sets (like you have with eddy flux data!). What we want to know • What are the characteristics of the error – What are the sources of error, and do the sources of error change over time? – How big are the errors (10±5 or 10.0001±0.0001), and which are the biggest sources? – Are the errors systematic, random, or some combination thereof? – Can we correct or adjust for errors? – Can we reduce the errors (better instruments, more careful technician, etc.?) Characteristics of interest • How is the error distributed? – What is the (approximate) pdf • What are its moments? – – – – First moment: Second moment: Third moment: Fourth moment: mean (average value) standard deviation (how variable) skewness (how symmetric) kurtosis (how peaky) Random error distributions • Assumptions: – Normal distribution – Constant variance – Independent errors • Reality: – Other distributions are possible! – Variance may not be constant – Independence? Normal Laplace Lognormal Uniform Constant variance? • Homoscedastic (constant variance) vs. Heteroscedastic (nonconstant variance) • Assume homoscedastic, but commonly: error variance scales with measurement • Large outliers more likely when error variance is large Independence • Measurement error in period (t) are uncorrelated with errors in period (t-1) • Independent – coin toss (white noise) • Negative autocorrelation – growth rate estimated from size measurements • Positive autocorrelation – weekly biomass estimates confounded by seasonal variation in other factors (e.g. summer drought and shrinking xylem) • Difficult to detect or test for independence without a very good underlying model (with poor model, apparent autocorrelation may be due to model structure and not error structure!) Take-home messages • For modelling, – More noise in data = more uncertainty in estimated model parameters – Systematic error in data = biased estimates of model parameters • Monte Carlo simulations as an easy way to evaluate impact of errors Errors in flux measurements Why characterize flux measurement uncertainty? • Uncertainty information needed to compare measurements, measurements and models, and to propagate errors (scaling up in space and time) • Uncertainty information needed to set policy & for risk analysis (what are confidence intervals on estimated C sink strength?) • Uncertainty information needed for all aspects of data-model fusion (correct specification of cost function, forward prediction of states, etc.) • Small uncertainties are not necessarily good; large uncertainties are not necessarily bad: biased prediction is ok if 'truth' is within confidence limits; if truth is outside of confidence limits, uncertainties are under-estimated Challenge of flux data • Complex – Multiple processes (but only measure NEE) – Diurnal, synoptic, seasonal, annual scales of variation – Gaps in data (QC criteria, instrument malfunction, unsuitable weather, etc.) • Multiple sources of error and uncertainty (known unknowns as well as unknown unknowns!) • Random errors are large but tolerable • Systematic errors are evil, and the corrections for them are largely uncertain (sometimes even in sign) • Many sources of systematic error (sometimes in different directions) Systematic errors Random errors Systematic errors • examples: – – – – • • • • • Random errors • – nocturnal biases imperfect spectral response advection energy balance closure operate at varying time scales: fully systematic vs. selectively systematic variety of influences: fixed offset vs. relative offset cannot be identified through statistical analyses can correct for systematic errors (but corrections themselves are uncertain) uncorrected systematic errors will bias DMF analyses examples: – – • • • • surface heterogeneity and time varying footprint turbulence sampling errors measurement equipment (IRGA and sonic anemometer) random errors are stochastic; characteristics of pdf can be estimated via statistical analyses (but may be time-varying) affect all measurements cannot correct for random errors random errors limit agreement between measurements and models, but should not bias results How to estimate distributions of random flux errors Why focus on random errors? • Systematic errors can't be identified through analysis of data • Systematic errors are harder to quantify (leave that to the geniuses) • For modeling, must correct for systematic errors first (or assume they are zero) • Knowing something about random errors is much more important from modeling perspective Two methods Two methods • Repeated measurements of the "same thing" – Paired towers (rarely applicable) • Hollinger et al., 2004 GCB ; Hollinger and Richardson, 2005 Tree Phys – Paired observations (applicable everywhere) • Hollinger and Richardson, 2005 Tree Phys; Richardson et al. 2006 AFM • Comparison with "truth" – Model residuals (assume model = "truth") • Richardson et al., 2005 AFM; Hagen et al. JGR 2006; Richardson et al. 2008 AFM Paired tower approach Repeated measurements: Use simultaneous but independent measurements from two towers, x1 and x2 Howland: Main and West towers - same environmental conditions - located in similar patches of forest - non-overlapping footprints (independent turbulence) Main West ~800m Paired measurements Assume we have measurements x1, x2 from two towers var(x1 – x2) = var(x1) + var(x2) – 2 covar (x1, x2) Since x1 and x2 are assumed independent, covar(x1, x2) = 0 Also, var(x1) = var(x2) = var(), where is the random error So var(x1 – x2) = 2 var() And thus ( ) ( x1 x 2 ) 2 Use multiple pairs x1, x2 to infer distribution of ! Alternatively… • Earlier, suggested quantifying random error by the standard deviation () of multiple independent measurements of the same thing (xi): • For i = 1,2, reduces to 1 2 ( x1 x 2 ) 2 or x1 x 2 2 • If following this approach, mean across multiple x1, 2 2 x2 pairs is calculated as ( , ..., ) 1 i (i.e. as a geometric mean, or square root of the mean variance). Another paired approach… • Two tower approach can only rarely be used • Alternative: substitute time for space – Use x1, x2 measured 24 h apart under similar environmental conditions • PPFD, VPD, Air/Soil temperature, Wind speed – Tradeoff: tight filtering criteria = not many paired measurements, poor estimates of statistics; loose filtering = other factors confound uncertainty estimate Model residuals • Common in many fields (less so in "flux world") to conduct posterior analyses of residuals to investigate pdf of errors, homoscedasticity, etc. • Disadvantage: – Model must be 'good' or uncertainty estimates confounded by model error • Advantages: – can evaluate asymmetry in error distribution (not possible with paired approach) – many data points with which to estimate statistics A double exponential (Laplace) pdf better characterizes the uncertainty Strong central peak & heavy tails (leptokurtic) non-Gaussian pdf Better: double-exponential pdf, f(x) = exp(|x/|)/2 The double-exponential is characterized by the scale parameter (x) 2 where 1 N xi – x The standard deviation of the uncertainty scales with the magnitude of the flux • Larger fluxes are more uncertain than small fluxes • Relative error decreases with flux magnitude (even when flux = 0 there is still some uncertainty) • Large errors are not uncommon • 95% CI = ± 60% • 75% CI = ± 30% To obtain maximum likelihood parameter estimates, cannot use OLS: must account for the fact that the flux measurement errors are nonGaussian and have non-constant variance. • Scaling of uncertainty with flux magnitude has been validated using data from a range of forested CarboEurope sites: y-axis intercept (base uncertainty) varies among sites (factors: tower height, canopy roughness, average wind speed), but slope constant across sites (Richardson et al., 2007) • Similar results (non-Gaussian, heteroscedastic) have been demonstrated for measurements of water and energy fluxes (H and LE) (Richardson et al., 2006) • Results are in agreement with predictions of Mann and Lenschow (1994) error model based on turbulence statistics (Hollinger & Richardson, 2005; Richardson et al., 2006) Generality of s(H) = 19.5 W m-2 s(LE) = 16.5 W m-2 s(FCO2) = 2.0 mol m-2 s-1 Uncertainties of all fluxes increase with flux magnitude. Comparison of approaches • Error estimates vary by ≈ 10% across models, are ≈20% lower for paired approach than for 'best' model • Errors are "more Gaussian" for large uptake fluxes and "less Gaussian" for fluxes ≈0 mol m-2 s-1 Uncertainty at various time scales • Systematic errors accumulate linearly over time (constant relative error) • Random errors accumulate in quadrature (so relative uncertainty decreases as flux measurements are aggregated over longer time periods) • role of Central Limit Theorem as fluxes are aggregated Implications for modeling "To put the point provocatively, providing data and allowing another researcher to provide the uncertainty is indistinguishable from allowing the second researcher to make up the data in the first place." – Raupach et al. (2005). Model data synthesis in terrestrial carbon observation: methods, data requirements and data uncertainty specifications. Global Change Biology 11:37897. Why does it matter for modeling? • Cost function (Bayesian or not) depends on error structure – likelihood function: the probability of actually observing the data, given a particular parameterization of model – appropriate form of likelihood function depends on pdf of errors – maximum likelihood optimization: determine model parameters that would be most likely to generate the observed data, given what is known or assumed about the measurement error • Ordinary least squares generates ML estimates only when assumptions of normality and constant variance are met Maximum likelihood paradigm: "what model parameters values are most likely to have generated the observed data, given the model and what is known about measurement errors?" Assumptions about errors affect specification of the ML cost function: N cost i N cost i ( y i y pred ) ( i ) 2 y i y pred ( i ) 2 For Gaussian data ("weighted least squares") For double exponential data ("weighted absolute deviations") Other cost functions are possible—depends on error structure! Specifying a different cost function affects optimal parameter estimates • Lloyd & Taylor (1994) respiration model: • model parameters differ depending on how the uncertainty is treated (explanation: nocturnal errors have slightly skewed distribution) • Why? error assumptions influence form of likelihood function LS AD A 24.9 43.9 T0 263.9 259.5 E0 33.6 58.5 R eco Ae E 0 T T 0 Reco –respiration T –soil temperature A, E0, T0 – parameters Influence of cost function specification on model predictions • Half-hourly model predictions depend on parameter-ization; integrated annual sum decreases by ~10% decrease (≈40% of NEE) when absolute deviations is used • Influences NEE partitioning, annual sum of GPP • Trivial model but relevant example and also… • Random errors are stochastic noise – do not reflect "real" ecosystem activity – cannot be modeled because they are stochastic – ultimately limit agreement between models and data – make it difficult • to obtain precise parameter estimates (as shown by previous Monte Carlo example) • to select or distinguish among candidate models (more than one model gives acceptably good fit) Summary • Two types of error, random and systematic • Random errors can be inferred from data • Flux measurement errors are non-Gaussian and have non-constant variance • These characteristics need to be taken into account when fitting models, when comparing models and data, and when estimating statistics from data (annual sums, physiological parameters, etc.)
