Understanding long-term variations in surface ozone in United States (U.S.) National Parks
Get PDFIn the troposphere, surface ozone is an air pollutant that has deleterious effects on human respiratory function and crop yields. Therefore, an understanding of spatial and temporal ozone concentration changes is necessary. The Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) method was used to analyze processes on varying time scales for surface ozone data from 25 U.S. National Park Service sites. Time scales of interest include the seasonal cycle, large-scale climate oscillations, and long-term (\u3e10 years) trends. Variability in each of these oscillatory components is determined. Further analysis was done at one site after initial analyses yielded findings disparate from the rest of the study pool. For this site (DENA-HQ) variability in the El Niño Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation was shown to affect the trajectory of pollutants to the site.The findings from this study can assist predictions regarding the timing and amplitude of peak ozone across the US and inform policy makers where emission reductions have been effective, enlightening future policy decisions
Application of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to Quantify Biomass, Stem Volume, and Basal Area in a Mature Norway Spruce (Picea Abies) Plantation in Central New York
Get PDFThe focus of this study is to evaluate the applicability of low cost, commercially accessible UAS platforms, equipment, and techniques for forest inventory. This involved quantifying total aboveground biomass by: a complete field enumeration of aboveground biomass in a Norway Spruce (Picea abies) plantation, acquiring UAS imagery over the plantation, deriving indirect estimates of tree size distribution information from the imagery, then correlating imagery information with field biomass measurements. Results showed generally poor correlations between spatially explicit UAS-derived metrics and field measurements of forest biomass. Recommended refinements to UAS mission parameters to improve forest biomass estimation were detailed

Through use of chemicals, the cementing material in wood known as lignin is dissolved and the fibers are separated from one another.\u27
