+ Multiple windows.
+ Launcher short cuts.
+ UTF-8 text. (Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, etc.)
+ Completely free. No ads, no in-app-purchases, no nag screens, nothing.
Quick FAQ:
+ If you are having trouble entering text, try installing the free "Hacker's Keyboard IME". (Especially if you have a Samsung or HTC device.)
+ This app isn't a game emulator.
+ This app won't help you root your phone or change your phone's IMEI.
+ You need to know (or be willing to learn) how to use the Linux command line to use this app.
+ You may want to install a set of command line utilities like "Busy Box" or "Debian chroot" in order to add commands beyond the commands that come built into your Android device.
+ If you get a -505 error when trying to install this app under Android 5.0, it means that some other app is using the same permissions. You will have to uninstall the other app in order to install Terminal Emulator for Android. (People tell me that "jrummy's Toolbox Pro" causes this problem.)

Root Checker
*Feel free to email me with any questions. I always reply!*
The goal of this application is to provide even the newest Android user with a simple method to check their device for root (administrator/superuser) access.
This is a very simple application to notify the user whether or not they have properly setup root access.
This application will test the device for root access using a very simple, quick and reliable method. The su binary is the most common binary used on Android devices to grant and manage root access. Root Checker will check and verify that the su binary is located in a standard location on the device. Root Checker will also confirm the proper permissions and flags on the su binary in addition to testing that access is granted by the su binary.
Many times users experience issues along the path of installing, configuring and gaining root access. For some users the process can seem complex while for others the process can seem simple. Regardless of the user's technical skill set, Root Checker, will quickly and correctly verify whether or not root access is 100% functioning. The process of confirming root access is sometimes known by other terms such as, gaining superuser access or gaining administrator access. Root Checker covers all these terms as they relate to one core function, being able to execute commands with root access.
If the Superuser or SuperSU applications are installed and working properly, these applications will prompt the user to accept or deny the root access request from Root Checker. Accepting the request will allow Root Checker to check for root access. Denying the request will result in Root Checker reporting no root access.
Gaining root access varies based on manufacturer, model, and carrier. If you're searching for root access to your device, this application will not help you. If you're interested in rooting your device, please use http://www.google.com to find the appropriate rooting support areas for your specific device. Other popular web sites which provide rooting guides are http://forum.xda-developers.com and http://forum.sdx-developers.com.
Please don't leave negative feedback about a concern, bug or issue! Instead, please email me,with your feedback, suggestions and comments!
I do my best to assist as many people as possible and appreciate all the support that has made this application successful! Thank you!

Oculto Miami Manor Opening at Soho Studios on Thursday, April 23, 2015. This was one of the best promotional parties I have been to in awhile. You walked into the main room, have a beer, take some pictures and pick one of three doors to venture into. Once you enter the door you have three different experiences in three different rooms, all with period and story decor and interactive actors and activities. So much fun. As you exit into the main room, you join everyone else with great music, drinks and food. What a great night!!!!

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Rick Crawford held off Dennis Setzer
during a two-lap sprint to the finish Saturday at Martinsville
Speedway, making a midrace gamble with his tires pay off for his
third career victory.
Crawford pulled away on two restarts in the final 34 laps, then
had to do it again after Steve Park hit the wall with just over
three laps to go in the NASCAR truck series race.
Because series rules provide for a two-lap, green-flag finish,
Crawford had to wait until the 253rd lap to do it again.
"I didn't need that last one because I had six or seven car
lengths on Dennis and I know how good he is here,'' Crawford said
of Setzer, the defending Kroger 250 champion. "I did what I had to
Crawford started third and was racing up front when he stopped
for tires and fuel with 104 laps to go. Many of the leaders didn't
stop until 17 laps later, giving them fresher tires for the run to
the finish.
But it never seemed to hamper Crawford, who had passed Mike
Skinner for the lead on lap 202. Crawford opened a big lead in his
Ford on a restart with 34 laps left, then pulled away from Setzer
with 13 to go.
The victory came four weeks after Crawford broke his left foot
in a crash at Atlanta on March 13, the previous race in the series.
Crawford drove with a plastic brace on his foot that allowed him to
brake better.
"There was a little pain there, but having a truck like (crew
chief Gene Nead) and the team prepared, that was the best
medicine,'' he said.
"It's been a tough four weeks. The driver had to heal and the
team had to build another truck, but this shows what this team can
Setzer finished .365 seconds back in his Chevrolet, followed by
the Chevy of pole-sitter Jack Sprague and the Ford of Virginia
native Jon Wood, who won here last fall. Skinner held on for fifth
in his Toyota.
Carl Edwards, who was sixth, passed Travis Kvapil for the points
lead after the third of 25 races. Edwards has 486 points, Kvapil
Three-time Nextel Cup champion Darrell Waltrip, who stepped out
of the Fox broadcast booth to make the first of three scheduled
starts in the series this year, crashed on the next-to-last lap and
wound up 24th.
Setzer wasn't surprised he never quite caught Crawford.
"His truck was really good all day. He drove this race with a
broken foot, so I admire Rick for what he went through here,''
Setzer said.
The race was slowed by 12 cautions for 83 laps, tying a series
record set Sept. 21, 2002, at South Boston Speedway, about 60 miles
Thirty-four of the 36 starters were still running at the end,
breaking the series record of 32 trucks, achieved several times
The 24 trucks on the lead lap at the end also was a record.

Marketing 2012 = Global Disaster or Sustainable Opportunity?
In the wake of the sobering ten-year anniversary of 9/11, I am reminded of what can shift because of a global tragedy. Ironically, unintended positives arose from the burning ashes of southern Manhattan. Our national nightmare united many among the world and helped unify a divided nation in an unprecedented outpouring of compassion and support.

ABSTRACT: We consider the impact of climate change on the wind energy resource of Ireland using an ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The RCM used in this work is the Consortium for Small-scale Modelling–climate limited-area modelling (COSMO-CLM) model. The COSMO-CLM model was evaluated by performing simulations of the past Irish climate, driven by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ERA-40 data, and comparing the output with observations. For the investigation of the influence of the future climate under different climate scenarios, the Max Planck Institute's global climate model, ECHAM5, was used to drive the COSMO-CLM model. Simulations are run for a control period 1961–2000 and future period 2021–2060. To add to the number of ensemble members, the control and future simulations were driven by different realizations of the ECHAM5 data. The future climate was simulated using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emission scenarios, A1B and B1. The research was undertaken to consolidate, and as a continuation of, similar research using the Rossby Centre's RCA3 RCM to investigate the effects of climate change on the future wind energy resource of Ireland. The COSMO-CLM projections outlined in this study agree with the RCA3 projections, with both showing substantial increases in 60 m wind speed over Ireland during winter and decreases during summer. The projected changes of both studies were found to be statistically significant over most of Ireland. The agreement of the COSMO-CLM and RCA3 simulation results increases our confidence in the robustness of the projections. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Wind Energy 01/2014; 17(1).

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to get the best possible wind speed forecasts for the wind energy industry by using an optimal combination of well-established forecasting and post-processing methods. We start with the ECMWF 51 member ensemble prediction system (EPS) which is underdispersive and hence uncalibrated. We aim to produce wind speed forecasts that are more accurate and calibrated than the EPS. The 51 members of the EPS are clustered to 8 weighted representative members (RMs), chosen to minimize the within-cluster spread, while maximizing the inter-cluster spread. The forecasts are then downscaled using two limited area models, WRF and COSMO, at two resolutions, 14km and 3km. This process creates four distinguishable ensembles which are used as input to statistical post-processes requiring multi-model forecasts. Two such processes are presented here. The first, Bayesian Model Averaging, has been proven to provide more calibrated and accurate wind speed forecasts than the ECMWF EPS using this multi-model input data. The second, heteroscedastic censored regression is indicating positive results also. We compare the two post-processing methods, applied to a year of hindcast wind speed data around Ireland, using an array of deterministic and probabilistic verification techniques, such as MAE, CRPS, probability transform integrals and verification rank histograms, to show which method provides the most accurate and calibrated forecasts. However, the value of a forecast to an end-user cannot be fully quantified by just the accuracy and calibration measurements mentioned, as the relationship between skill and value is complex. Capturing the full potential of the forecast benefits also requires detailed knowledge of the end-users' weather sensitive decision-making processes and most importantly the economic impact it will have on their income. Finally, we present the continuous relative economic value of both post-processing methods to identify which is more beneficial to the wind energy industry of Ireland.
Article: Reducing errors of wind speed forecasts by an optimal combination of post‐processing methods[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Seven adaptive approaches to post-processing wind speed forecasts are discussed and compared. Forecasts of the wind speed over 48 h are run at horizontal resolutions of 7 and 3 km for a domain centred over Ireland. Forecast wind speeds over a 2 year period are compared to observed wind speeds at seven synoptic stations around Ireland and skill scores calculated. Two automatic methods for combining forecast streams are applied. The forecasts produced by the combined methods give bias and root mean squared errors that are better than the numerical weather prediction forecasts at all station locations. One of the combined forecast methods results in skill scores that are equal to or better than all of its component forecast streams. This method is straightforward to apply and should prove beneficial in operational wind forecasting. Copyright © 2011 Royal Meteorological SocietyMeteorological Applications 03/2013; 20(1).

ABSTRACT: We consider the impact of climate change on the wind energy resource of Ireland using an ensemble of Regional Climate Model (RCM) simulations. The RCM dynamically downscales the coarse information provided by the Global Climate Models (GCMs) and provides high resolution information, on a subdomain covering Ireland. The RCM used in this work is the Rossby Center's RCM (RCA3).The RCA3 model is evaluated by performing simulations of the past Irish climate, driven by European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ERA-40 data, and by comparing the output to observations. Results confirm that the output of the RCA3 model exhibits reasonable and realistic features as documented in the historical wind data record. For the investigation of the influence of the future climate under different climate scenarios, the Max Plank Institute's GCM, European Center Hamburg Model, is used to drive the RCA3 model. Simulations are run for a control period 1961-2000 and future period 2021-2060. The future climate was simulated using the four Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emission scenarios A1B, A2, B1 and B2. The results for the downscaled simulations show a substantial overall increase in the energy content of the wind for the future winter months and a decrease during the summer months. The projected changes for summer and winter were found to be statistically significant over most of Ireland. However, the projected changes should be viewed with caution since the climate change signal is of similar magnitude to the variability of the evaluation and control simulations.

Article: Simulating Climate Change in Ireland[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: At the Meteorology & Climate Centre at University College Dublin, we are using the CLM-Community's COSMO-CLM Regional Climate Model (RCM) and the WRF RCM (developed at NCAR) to simulate the climate of Ireland at high spatial resolution. To address the issue of model uncertainty, a Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) approach is used. The ensemble method uses different RCMs, driven by several Global Climate Models (GCMs), to simulate climate change. Through the MME approach, the uncertainty in the RCM projections is quantified, enabling us to estimate the probability density function of predicted changes, and providing a measure of confidence in the predictions. The RCMs were validated by performing a 20-year simulation of the Irish climate (1981-2000), driven by ECMWF ERA-40 global re-analysis data, and comparing the output to observations. Results confirm that the output of the RCMs exhibit reasonable and realistic features as documented in the historical data record. Projections for the future Irish climate were generated by downscaling the Max Planck Institute's ECHAM5 GCM, the UK Met Office HadGEM2-ES GCM and the CGCM3.1 GCM from the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling. Simulations were run for a reference period 1961-2000 and future period 2021-2060. The future climate was simulated using the A1B, A2, B1, RCP 4.5 & RCP 8.5 greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Results for the downscaled simulations show a substantial overall increase in precipitation and wind speed for the future winter months and a decrease during the summer months. The predicted annual change in temperature is approximately 1.1°C over Ireland. To date, all RCM projections are in general agreement, thus increasing our confidence in the robustness of the results.

ABSTRACT: This project aims to produce the best possible wind speed forecasts for the wind energy industry by using an optimal combination of well-established forecasting and post-processing methods. We start with the ECMWF 51 member ensemble prediction system (EPS) and produce a more accurate forecast than the ensemble mean. The 51 members are clustered to 8 weighted representative members (RMs) using a clustering technique. The 8 RMs are chosen to minimize the within-cluster spread, while maximizing the inter-cluster spread. The forecasts are then downscaled using two limited area models, WRF and COSMO, at two resolutions, 14km and 3km. Numerical weather prediction is far from perfect and each of the ensemble member forecasts contains errors, both systematic and chaotic. Systematic errors can be minimized with statistical post-processing. We apply four adaptive post-processing methods to each forecast which require only a short training period. The weighted ensemble mean of the post-processed ensembles is used as the input to a Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) system. Each ensemble forecast probability density function (PDF) is weighted based on how well it has performed over a training period. The weighted PDFs are then summed to form the BMA PDF which represents the probability of all possible wind speeds and has been proven to outperform the ensemble mean. We present a detailed description of the above process and detail some preliminary results.

ABSTRACT: Indices have been used as indicators of synoptic-scale flow strength, shear vorticity, flow direction and static stability over Ireland and Britain. Changes in large-scale dynamic flow and static stability over the European region are expected because of shifting climate patterns, and investigation of how these indices change in future runs of global climate models allows us to estimate how this will affect storm frequency and intensity in the region. Analysis of frequency distributions shows an increase in westerly flows and decreases in most other flow directions, indicating an increase in rainfall for the region. The flow strength on days with strong winds increases in the future runs, as does the number of gale days. The future runs show not only an overall increase in atmospheric stability but also significantly larger areas with stronger instability during periods of extreme instability.

ABSTRACT: We present a new method of reducing the error in predicted wind speed, thus enabling better management of wind energy facilities. A numerical weather prediction model, COSMO, was used to produce 48 h forecast data every day in 2008 at horizontal resolutions of 10 and 3 km. A new adaptive statistical method was applied to the model output to improve the forecast skill. The method applied corrective weights to a set of forecasts generated using several post-processing methods. The weights were calculated based on the recent skill of the different forecasts. The resulting forecast data were compared with observed data, and skill scores were calculated to allow comparison between different post-processing methods. The total root mean square error performance of the composite forecast is superior to that of any of the individual methods.

ABSTRACT: At the Meteorology & Climate Centre at University College Dublin, we are using the CLM-Community's COSMO-CLM Regional Climate Model (RCM) and the WRF RCM (developed at NCAR) to simulate the climate of Ireland at 7km resolution. The RCM models were validated by performing a 20-year simulation of the Irish climate (1981-2000), driven at the lateral boundaries by ECMWF ERA-40 global re-analysis data, and comparing the output to observations. Results confirm that the output of the RCM models exhibit reasonable and realistic features as documented in the historical data record. Validation results will be presented for wind, temperature and precipitation. Projections for the future Irish climate were generated by downscaling the Max Planck Institute's ECHAM5 global climate model data using the COSMO-CLM RCM. Simulations were run for a reference period 1961-2000 and future period 2021-2060. The future climate was simulated using the A1B & B1 greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Results for the downscaled simulations show a substantial overall increase in wind speeds for the future winter months and a decrease during the summer months. The projected changes for summer and winter were found to be statistically significant over most of Ireland. Future projections for temperature and precipitation will also be presented.
Article: Preliminary evaluation of a new developed regional coupled atmosphere-ocean model system for Irish Waters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In recent years, uncertainties in climate model projections have become of great interest because a wide range of future projection have become available from a combination of various emission scenarios and different climate models. The quality of the future projections of climate change depend critically on the ability of the Global and Regional Climate Models to reproduce the present-day climate. Due to the coarse resolution of global models, high-resolution regional studies are essential for impact studies and adaptation strategies in Ireland. Particularly, the representation of extreme events requires us to use high-resolution Regional Climate Models (RCMs). Moreover, the interaction between the atmosphere and ocean has to be included in RCMs in a more sophisticated way; this is especially important for accurately reproducing the climate over Ireland, which is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea. The RCA_NEMO model, an interactive flux coupled regional atmosphere-ocean model was developed in this study. This model, which combines two well-known components, the Rossby Center regional climate model (RCA) and the ocean model NEMO, together with the OASIS3 coupler, is fully parallel and can introduce the interaction between the atmosphere and ocean into climate simulations in a sophisticated manner. The model has been demonstrated to run long simulations (1960-1990) without flux correction. The monthly mean value between 1961 and 1990 is fully evaluated against analysis/observations. Mean sea level pressure, which is strongly associated with cyclone activity, has been reproduced well by both models, except in April. The atmosphere-only run has a weaker pressure gradient over Ireland. Comparing the output with the UKCIP observational data, the coupled model more accurately represents the climate of Ireland. Not only are the basic characteristics reproduced by the coupled run; the wet bias in the midlands and the dry bias in the southwest of Ireland are also decreased in the coupled run. Although there is no simple relationship between the monthly mean precipitation and extreme events, the heavy precipitation events over land has been improved by the coupled model, too. The coupled model has different performance at different times of the year. The 2 metre temperature has been slightly overestimated by the coupled model in wet months (January and October). However, the 2 metre temperature has been improved in the dry season (April and July). In conclusion, the coupled RCA_NEMO model is an effective way to accurately reproduce the current climate of Ireland. Further improvements will be developed in the next stage of this research, and will be used to investigate climate change in Ireland under a range of different climate scenarios.

ABSTRACT: Accurate forecasting of available energy is crucial for the efficient management and use of wind power in the national power grid. With energy output critically dependent upon wind strength there is a need to reduce the errors associated wind forecasting. The objective of this research is to get the best possible wind forecasts for the wind energy industry. To achieve this goal, three methods are being applied. First, a mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model called WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) is being used to predict wind values over Ireland. Currently, a gird resolution of 10km is used and higher model resolutions are being evaluated to establish whether they are economically viable given the forecast skill improvement they produce. Second, the WRF model is being used in conjunction with ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ensemble forecasts to produce a probabilistic weather forecasting product. Due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere, a single, deterministic weather forecast can only have limited skill. The ECMWF ensemble methods produce an ensemble of 51 global forecasts, twice a day, by perturbing initial conditions of a 'control' forecast which is the best estimate of the initial state of the atmosphere. This method provides an indication of the reliability of the forecast and a quantitative basis for probabilistic forecasting. The limitation of ensemble forecasting lies in the fact that the perturbed model runs behave differently under different weather patterns and each model run is equally likely to be closest to the observed weather situation. Models have biases, and involve assumptions about physical processes and forcing factors such as underlying topography. Third, Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is being applied to the output from the ensemble forecasts in order to statistically post-process the results and achieve a better wind forecasting system. BMA is a promising technique that will offer calibrated probabilistic wind forecasts which will be invaluable in wind energy management. In brief, this method turns the ensemble forecasts into a calibrated predictive probability distribution. Each ensemble member is provided with a 'weight' determined by its relative predictive skill over a training period of around 30 days. Verification of data is carried out using observed wind data from operational wind farms. These are then compared to existing forecasts produced by ECMWF and Met Eireann in relation to skill scores. We are developing decision-making models to show the benefits achieved using the data produced by our wind energy forecasting system. An energy trading model will be developed, based on the rules currently used by the Single Electricity Market Operator for energy trading in Ireland. This trading model will illustrate the potential for financial savings by using the forecast data generated by this research.
Article: On resonant Rossby–Haurwitz triads[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The dynamics of non-divergent flow on a rotating sphere are described by the conservation of absolute vorticity. The analytical study of the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation is greatly facilitated by the expansion of the solution in spherical harmonics and truncation at low order. The normal modes are the well-known Rossby–Haurwitz (RH) waves, which represent the natural oscillations of the system. Triads of RH waves, which satisfy conditions for resonance, are of critical importance for the distribution of energy in the atmosphere.We show how non-linear interactions of resonant RH triads may result in dynamic instability of large-scale components. We also demonstrate a mathematical equivalence between the equations for an orographically forced triad and a simple mechanical system, the forced-damped swinging spring. This equivalence yields insight concerning the bounded response to a constant forcing in the absence of damping. An examination of triad interactions in atmospheric reanalysis data would be of great interest.Tellus 04/2009; 61(3):438 - 445. DOI:10.1111/j.1600-0870.2009.00395.x · 2.52 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A study of nine Irish catchments was carried out to quantify the expected impact of climate change on hydrology in Ireland. Boundary data from the European Centre Hamburg Model Version 5 (ECHAM 5) general circulation model were used to force the Rossby Centre Atmosphere Model (RCA3) regional climate model, producing dynamically downscaled precipitation and temperature data under past and future climate scenarios. This data was used to force the HBV-Light conceptual rainfall-runoff model to simulate stream flow in the reference period (1961–2000) and in the future (2021–2060) under the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A1B scenario. A Monte-Carlo approach to calibration was used to obtain 100 parameter sets which reproduced observed stream flow well. Use of an ensemble provided results in terms of a range rather than a single value. Results suggested an amplification of the seasonal cycle across the country, driven by increased winter precipitation, decreased summer precipitation and increased temperature. The expected changes in mean winter and summer flows as well as annual maximum daily mean flow varied depending on catchment characteristics and the timing and magnitude of expected changes in precipitation in each catchment.Journal of Hydrology 07/2008; 356(1-2-356):28-45.

Article: Regional climate model simulations of North Atlantic cyclones: frequency and intensity changes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: simulations with the Rossby Centre regional climate model RCA3. The model domain comprises large parts of the North Atlantic and the adjacent continents, RCA3 is driven by ECHAM5-OM1 general circulation model data for May to December from 1985 to 2000 and May to December from 2085 to 2100 assuming the SRES-A2 emission scenario. We apply an objective algorithm to identify and track tropical and extratropical cyclones, as well as extratropical transition. The simulation indicates increase in the count of strong hurricanes and extratropical cyclones. Contrasting, and generally weaker, changes are seen for the less extreme events. Decreases of 18% in the count of extratropical cyclones and 13% in the count of tropical cyclones with wind speeds of >= 18 m s(-1) can be found. Furthermore, there is a pronounced shift in the tracks of hurricanes and their extratropical transition in November and December-more hurricanes are seen over the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the western Sargasso Sea and less over the southern North Atlantic.Climate Research 03/2008; 36(1):1-16.

ABSTRACT: Numerical simulation of an ever-increasing range of geophysical phenomena is adding enormously to our understand-ing of complex processes in the Earth system. The consequences for mankind of ongoing climate change will be far-reach-ing. Earth System Models are capable of replicating climate regimes of past millennia and are the best means we have of predicting the future of our climate. The basic ideas of numerical forecasting and climate modeling were developed about a century ago, long before the first electronic computer was constructed. There were several major practical obstacles to be overcome before numerical pre-diction could be put into practice. A fuller understanding of atmospheric dynamics allowed the development of simplified systems of equations; regular radiosonde observations of the free atmosphere and, later, satellite data, provided the initial conditions; stable finite difference schemes were developed; and powerful electronic computers provided a practical means of carrying out the prodigious calculations required to predict the changes in the weather. Progress in weather forecasting and in climate modeling over the past 50 years has been dramatic. In this presentation, we will trace the history of computer forecasting through the ENIAC integrations to the present day. The useful range of deterministic prediction is increasing by about one day each decade, and our understanding of climate change is growing rapidly as Earth System Models of ever-increasing sophistication are developed.Journal of Computational Physics 03/2008; 227(7).

ABSTRACT: The Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) of Rutgers University is used to investigate the influence of anthropogenic climate change on storm surges over Irish waters, particularly on the extreme values. Two experiments were performed to confirm the validity of the approach in the current climate: the first focused on hindcasting the surge generated by a storm in early 2002 while the second provided surge statistics by running the model for the period 1990–2002; in both cases ROMS was driven with ERA-40 forcing fields. The results show that the model is capable of simulating both specific surge events and surge climate statistics with reasonable accuracy (order of 10 cm). Model outputs were also compared spatially against satellite altimetry data, corrected for long wavelength errors, from 1993 to 2001. The ROMS model consistently reproduces the sea level changes in the Irish Sea, and over the waters to the south and west of Ireland. For the investigation of the impact of the climate change on storm surges, the same configuration of ROMS was driven by atmospheric forcing fields downscaled from ECHAM5/OM1 data for the past (1961–1990) and future (2031–2060; SRES A1B greenhouse gas scenario); the downscaled data were produced using the Rossby Centre Regional Atmosphere model (RCA3). The results show an increase in storm surge events around Irish coastal areas in the future projection, except along the south Irish coast; there is also a significant increase in the height of the extreme surges along the west and east coasts, with most of the extreme surges occurring in wintertime.Ocean Modelling 01/2008; DOI:10.1016/j.ocemod.2008.06.009 · 2.59 Impact Factor

Article: Regional model simulation of North Atlantic cyclones: Present climate and idealized response to increased sea surface temperature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 1] The influence of an increased sea surface temperature (SST) on the frequency and intensity of cyclones over the North Atlantic is investigated using two data sets from simulations with the Rossby Centre regional climate model RCA3. The model domain comprises large parts of the North Atlantic and the adjacent continents. RCA3 is driven by reanalysis data for May to December 1985–2000 at the lateral and lower boundaries, using SST and lateral boundary temperatures. A realistic interannual variation in tropical storm and hurricane counts is simulated. In an idealized sensitivity experiment, SSTs and boundary condition temperatures at all levels are increased by 1 K to ensure that we can distinguish the SST from other factors influencing the development of cyclones. An increase in the count of strong hurricanes is simulated. There is not much change in the location of hurricanes. Generally weaker changes are seen in the extratropical region and for the less extreme events. Increases of 9% in the count of extratropical cyclones and 39% in the count of tropical cyclones with wind speeds of at least 18 m/s are found.

Fw: Northwest Robot Sumo Exhibition
Expand Messages
- ----- Original Message -----From: bill harrisonTo: howvin@...Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 9:26 AMSubject: Northwest Robot Sumo ExhibitionHi,
We did our first Northwest Robot Sumo Exhibition last Saturday.
This was to complement the annual Spring Northwest Robot Sumo
Tournament. The Exhibition gives builder enthusiasts a chance to see
what their robots can do in actual competitive situations, just like at
the Tournament, as well as a chance to show off their machines. The
Exhibition gives the audience a chance to watch the machines, with some
being introduced to Robot Sumo.
Builders have plenty of time to work on their robots before
Spring Robot Sumo activities, if they run a robot at the Exhibition.
Some builders can decide to get into building Robot Sumo machine, and
have enough time to complete it before Spring. But also, it gives yet
one more event for Robot Sumo Enthusiasts to come participate in.
We gave out "door prizes" by drawing names out of a hat, but
otherwise there were no prizes. The Mock Tournament was just for fun.
The number two winner at the SRS Robothon, Goliath beat the number one
winner Broken Rib in a mock grudge match. We even had a six legged
Robot Sumo go up against a two legged Robot Sumo. Everyone had fun, and
I hope excited about participating in Robot Sumo.
Randy Carter and I designed and built a Scoreboard especially
for Robot Sumo. It was 8 feet wide and stood 10 feet tall! It's made
out of thousands of those tiny Christmas decoration lights. The
Scoreboard included two clocks, each with multiple functions, and
several status indicators. It includes places for the competitors
names, and chaser lights for excitement. It wasn't quite complete,
mostly lacking the colored plastic face sheets, but had enough function
to be used for scoring. The audience loved it. We'll have it polished
up by Spring.
We had invited examples of the new classes to be exhibited,
along with the existing Japanese and Mini Class. The only new class
machines that showed up was the 20 cm sq 1 Kg Lightweight class. No
operational Micro or Nanos showed. One person did have a half built
Micro, that he showed off (I have two more incomplete Micro in my lab).
I'm not sure about the Nano, but we are bound to see a Micro Robot Sumo
at the next event.
The Northwest Robot Sumo Exhibition was fun, and kicks off Robot
Sumo for this season in the Northwest. Good luck with all the rest of
the Robot Sumo events for the year :-)

43271Stripping Run and Cuts
Expand Messages
- Feb 12, 2013I did another stripping run and practiced my cuts to see what they smell like. Yes, I used my temp gauge because it works better for me to learn my stripping cuts.
Wow, what a difference between head and heart (smell). Now I have a good idea what heads, hearts, and tails should smell like. I need a few more quarts before there is enough for a finish run that will be a nice experiment.
With my finish run, my thought is to use pint jars, to smell and sample each one as a great teaching tool.

First show I've ever seen at the Mann Music Center. Missed all of The National set and most of the Modest Mouse due to traffic and bad navigating on my part. After leaving the show I realized there is a better why to get to the venue without taking I-76 and its not the way I went. So going in I was a little upset that I missed the bands I really wanted to see.
Rem played a good if sometimes underwhelming show. They played a few songs that had previously not been heard live or only a few times. I like the idea of them playing studio stuff live and it was fun to hear. You can not deny the REM hits and we got a few. Pearl Jam was in the audience since they had a show the next day in Philadelphia. For an encore Eddie Veder came out and sang Begin the Begin and Johnny Marr joined for Fall on Me. The show was fun outside of missing the open acts which were my main reason for going. I was able to sneak in a Bota Box wine which made everything more enjoyable.

Keepsake Seashell Seating Cards
Instead of numbers to assign guests their tables, use names of seashells. Each type of shell represents a different table. Arrange seating cards and shells on aqua fabric to give the impression of water. On each table, display a card with the shell's name, or fill a bowl with those shells as a centerpiece.How-To

Shelling Out
This is a great idea from Martha Stewart Living: Four clam or scallop shells make a beachy set of salt-and-pepper dishes. First, run four shells per set through a dishwasher, secured in the silverware caddy. For the base, turn two shells topside up, and hot-glue them together at the hinge. Glue together the other two shells, then lay them faceup and crosswise over the base, and glue.

Andromeda Blossoms
Andromeda blossoms call to mind beautiful sea plants washed ashore as they spill from this sun-dappled cascade.

At a press conference at a popular seafood restaurant, where reporters and cameramen were pressed up against diners, Christie said it has been easy to work with Donovan on Sandy recovery.
"There's an old joke, right? Someone from the government comes into town and they say, 'I'm from Washington and I'm here to help' and everybody starts to laugh," Christie said. "Shaun Donovan is ruining that joke for me."
Donovan returned the compliment, praising the Republican governor "for his remarkable and relentless leadership in helping this town, this shore and this state recover from one of the toughest blows it has ever endured."
This is the first round of disaster relief money to be allocated. Two more rounds of block grants are expected later.
The grants will be focused in the nine counties with the worst damage from the storm. The first round of grants will help an estimated 26,000 homeowners with their primary residences, 5,000 renters and 10,000 small businesses, in addition to local governments.
The programs the Republican governor wants to implement — offering grants to rebuild damaged homes, no-interest loans for small businesses and giving landlords cash incentives to repair homes and rent them — are standard for states receiving federal assistance after natural disasters. Some areas where the state says there are problems, such as repairing infrastructure and restoring the fishing industry, are not included in the plan. An expanded home buyback program for people living in flood-prone neighborhoods will be included in a later funding application.
The plan submitted to HUD includes $825 million for elevation and reconstruction of damaged primary residences; $255 million for displaced renters whose primary residences were damaged by the storm; and $300 million in small business grants. A $25 million allocation to promote storm-impacted shore communities is also included, as is $50 million to help municipalities continue to provide essential services without increasing taxes. Developers of public housing could see $104.5 million in zero- and low-interest loans of up to $120,000 per unit to create new permanent housing
