Impact of Coupling an Ocean Model to WRF Nor’easter Simulations
No full textThe impact of ocean–atmosphere coupling and its possible seasonal dependence upon Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model simulations of seven, wintertime cyclone events was investigated. Model simulations were identical aside from the degree of ocean model coupling (static SSTs, 1D mixed layer model, full-physics 3D ocean model). Both 1D and 3D ocean model coupling simulations show that SSTs following the passage of a nor’easter did tend to cool more strongly during the early season (October–December) and were more likely to warm late in the season (February–April). Model simulations produce SST differences of up to 1.14 K, but this change did not lead to significant changes in storm track ( 1) and have low-to-moderate threat scores (0.31–0.59). Analysis of the storm environment and the overall simulation failed to reveal any statistically significant differences in model error attributable to ocean–atmosphere coupling. Despite this result, ocean model coupling can reduce dynamical field error at a single level by up to 20%, and this was slightly greater (1%–2%) with 3D ocean model coupling as compared to 1D ocean model coupling. Thus, while 3D ocean model coupling tended to generally produce more realistic simulations, its impact would likely be more profound for longer-term simulations.© Copyright 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

Pogonosternum montanum Decker & Mesibov & Voigtländer & Xylander 2017, sp. nov.
No full textPogonosternum montanum Decker, sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 3DFA79E1-92A0-4155-B32A-16B88750E712 Figs 2A, 4, 5H, 7, 22–25, 26E Pogonosternum sp. 2 – Car 2010: 320 (record). — Decker 2016a: 16 (record). Pogonosternum sp. B – Decker 2016a: 17–25 (record, mention). Diagnosis Differs from other Pogonosternum species in having one lighter longitudinal stripe and no median darker stripe; from P. adrianae and P. laetificum, primarily by the proximad bending femoral process 2 (fp2) and the lateral process (lp) directed mesally, but also by the presence of a subtriangular, not pointed, process on the female leg 2 coxa; male tarsal and tibial brushes present from legpair 1 to 7; anterior spiracles obliquely ovoid with large lobiform anterodorsally extended rim and spiracular filter distinctly protruding. Etymology The name means “mountaineer” or “mountainous” in Latin and refers to this species’ principal occurrences at higher elevations in the Australian Alps. Material studied Holotype AUSTRALIA: 1 ♂, New South Wales, 14 km NNE of Tumbarumba, Batlow Road, SW of Back Creek Road junction, S28, 9 Aug. 2014, leg. P. Decker, R. Mesibov and K.

Other material examined See Supplement 1 (total: 17 localities, 80 ♂♂, 41 ♀♀, 17 juv.) Description MEASUREMENTS. Length ca 1.7–2.3 cm; midbody width ca 1.9–2.2 mm. COLOURATION. Colour in fresh material (Figs 22, 26E): margin of lateral edges of collum sometimes slightly lighter. Dorsum with broad median light yellowish brown stripe.

Female coxa of legpair 2 with subtriangular process on caudal side directed distad (Fig. 34). GONOPODS. Femorite (F) short and broad (Figs 23–24). Prolongation of femorite (prof) long, S-shaped. Femoral process 1 (fp1) laminate, long, subtriangular, slightly curved anteriad, not projecting distad of lateral process (lp) and solenomere (S). Femoral process 2 (fp2) short, slender, bent proximad. Lateral process (lp) on mesal side of prof, short, laminate, directed mesally. SPIRACLES. Anterior spiracles obliquely ovoid. Rim raised with anterodorsal side extended, distinctly lobiform and spiracular filter twisted and protruding. Posterior spiracle ovoid with low rim and spiracular filter mostly protruding (Figs 4A, 25). Ecology Pogonosternum montanum Decker, sp. nov. Decker was mostly found in mountain forests from 600 to 1110 m a.s.l. It also occurs in pine plantations (Car 2010 and new collections west of Tumbarumba, New South Wales) and was collected in coastal Central Gippsland near Bruthen (AMS KS.105106), where it is possibly introduced.

Cocrystallized Dinuclear-Mononuclear (Cu3NaI)-Na-II and Double-Decker-Triple-Decker (Cu5K3I)-K-II Complexes Derived from N,N '-Ethylenebis(3-ethoxysalicylaldimine)
No full textThe syntheses and structures of a [2x1+1x2] cocrystal [{(CuLNaI)-L-II-Na-I(H2O)(2)} {(CuL1)-L-II}(2)(NO3) (1) and [3x1+5x1] cocrystal [{((CuL1)-L-II)(2)K-I}(NO3)]center dot[{((CuL1)-L-II)(3)K-2(I)(mu-NO3)}(NO3)]center dot 0.2H(2)O (2) derived from the hexadentate Schiff base compartmental ligand N,N'-ethylenebis(3-ethoxysalicylaldimine) (H2L1) are described. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in triclillic P (1) over bar and monoclinic P2(1)/c systems, respectively. The structure of 1 consists of the [(CuLNaI)-L-II-Na-1(H2O)(3)](+) cation and two mononuclear [(CuL1)-L-II] moieties. In the dinuclear [(CuLNaI)-L-II-Na-1(H2O)(3)](+) cation, the metal centers are doubly bridged by the two phenolate oxygen atoms. Each of the two coordinated water molecules of the dinuclear unit is encapsulated in the O-4 cavities of the two mononuclear [(CuL1)-L-II] moieties resulting in the formation of a [2x1+1x2] cocrystal. In compound 2, one trinuclear double-decker system [{((CuL1)-L-II)(2)K-I(NO3)] and one pentanuclear triple-decker system [{((CuL1)-L-II)(3)K-2(I)(mu-NO3)}(NO3)] are cocrystallized. Evidently, compound 2 is a [3x1+5x1] cocrystal. Structural resemblance of 3d metal ions with Na(I) and a rare example of double-decker-triple-decker cocrystal are the major outcomes of the present investigation.</p
