CASPER: Concordia atmospheric spectroscopy of emitted radiation
No full textCASPER (Concordia Atmospheric Spectroscopy of Emitted Radiation) is a spectrometer proposed for installation at Dome C, devoted to measurements of atmospheric emission in the spectral region between 180 μm and 3 mm (3-55 cm-1). This instrument will be able to perform continuous spectral sampling at different altitudes at angular scales of ∼1°. From the recorded data it is possible to extract atmospheric transmittance within 1% in the whole wide operating band, together with water vapour content and O 2 and O3 concentrations. CASPER will allow us to characterize the site for future FIR/mm telescopes. Atmospheric data recorded by CASPER will allow for correction of astrophysical and cosmological observations without the need for telescope-specific procedures and further loss of observation time with more precision in the observations themselves. Calibration of ground-based telescopes on known sky sources is strongly affected by atmospheric absorption. CASPER has this as its primary goal. The spectrometer is based on a Martin-Puplett interferometer. Two data sampling solutions will be performed: phase modulation & fast scan strategy. Sky radiation is collected towards the interferometer by an optical setup that allows the field of view, to explore the full 0 ÷ 90° range of elevation angles. With a low spurious polarization instrument, monitoring of polarized atmospheric contribution will be possible. © EAS, EDP Sciences 2005

CASPER toolkit
No full text"Following any type of disaster, public health and emergency management professionals must be prepared to respond to and meet the needs of the affected public. The Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) enables public health practitioners and emergency management officials to determine rapidly the health status and basic needs of the affected community. CASPER uses valid statistical methods to gather information about health and basic needs, allowing public health and emergency managers to prioritize their response and distribution of resources accurately. Without information on the community, public health officials may make decisions based on anecdotal information; such decisions may not accurately reflect the need of the entire community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, Health Studies Branch (HSB) published the first edition of the CASPER toolkit in 2009 and widely distributed the toolkit to the public health community. HSB developed this second edition to address partner feedback on the first edition and include advancements in technology and refinements in the methodology. This second edition is an updated guideline for field staff conducting CASPER. Public health department personnel, emergency management officials, academics, or other disaster responders who wish to assess household-level public health needs will find this toolkit useful for rapid data collection during a disaster response. CASPER may also be used for conducting Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) or other community-level surveys during non-emergency situations." - p. 1The first edition of the Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) Toolkit was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, Health Studies Branch (HSB) in 2009. HSB has now developed this second edition to expand instruction and refine methodological procedures, including describing and incorporating advances in technology and recognizing the release of the U.S. Census 2010 data.

No full text"Following any type of disaster, public health and emergency management professionals must be prepared to respond to and meet the needs of the affected public. The Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER), also referred to as Rapid Need Assessment (RNA), Rapid Epidemiologic Assessment (REA), and Rapid Health Assessment (RHA), will assist public health practitioners and emergency management officials in determining the health status and basic needs of the affected community. Gathering information about health and basic need data by using valid statistical methods allows public health and emergency managers to prioritize their responses and to rationalize the distribution of resources. Without accurate information or uniform guidelines, public health officials may make decisions based on impressions or opinions, which may not accurately reflect the needs of the entire community. This toolkit was developed as a guideline for field staff in conducting CASPER. It provides quantitative post-disaster assessment procedures that can identify the health status and basic needs such as food, water, and shelter of the affected population. Personnel from any local, regional, state, or federal public health department, emergency management officials, academicians, or other disaster responders who need to assess household-level public health needs following a disaster may use this toolkit." - p. 7Title from PDF cover.The Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) Toolkit was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Environmental Health, Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, Health Studies Branch (CDC/NCEH/DEHHE/HSB).

Ducting Conditions During CASPER-West Field Campaign
No full text2018 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation & USNC/URSI National Radio Science MeetingThe article of record may be found at https://doi.org/10.1109/APUSNCURSINRSM.2018.8608750The Coupled Air-Sea Processes and Electromagnetic ducting Research (CASPER) project involved two field campaigns. The most recent field study, CASPER-West, occurred during 27 September - 26 October 2017 offshore of Pt. Mugu, California. The most significant ducting conditions observed during this field campaign included evaporation ducts and surface-based ducts. However, most of the evaporation ducts are also topped by elevated duct layers at several hundred meters above the surface. This paper provides an overview of the CASPER-West measurements and the observed ducting conditions from multiple platforms in CASPER-West
