Integrating Space Weather and Meteorological Products for Aviation

Abstract: NOVEMBER 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | ne might think that solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms are phenomena that only interest space scientists. However, conditions on the sun, in the solar wind, and within the Earth’s magnetic field, otherwise known as “space weather,” can affect a wide variety of ground and space technologies. For example, solar and geomagnetic events can impact satellite operations, navigation, space shuttle and space activities, high-altitude polar flights, electric power distribution, long-line telephone communication, high-frequency (HF) radio communication, and geophysical exploration. As the nation’s reliance on technological systems grows, so does our vulnerability to space weather. The aviation industry is just one of the many user groups that are trying to understand how space weather impacts their operations and what can be done to mitigate disruptions. Airlines are becoming more concerned with flying transpolar routes, losing HF communication, radiation hazards to crews, and the possibility of global positioning system (GPS) errors. Many space weather hazards can be mitigated or avoided if reliable space weather forecasts are available. In response to this need, the federal government has formed the National Space Weather Program, an interagency program under the auspices of the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology started in 1994, to “achieve an active, synergistic interagency system to provide timely, accurate, and reliable space environment observations, specification, and forecasts.” Currently, space environmental support services are provided by the NOAA Space Environment Center (SEC) and the U.S. Air Force (USAF), which jointly operate the Space Weather Operations (SWO) Forecast and Analysis Center. It is the national and world warning center for disturbances that can affect people and equipment working in space, and provides forecasts, warnings, and alerts of solar and geomagnetic activity to users in government, industry, and the private sector. NOAA/SEC is the official source of space weather alerts and warnings for commercial and public sector customers. INTEGRATING SPACE WEATHER AND METEOROLOGICAL PRODUCTS FOR AVIATION

Report on the 2014-2015 new doctoral recipients

Abstract: This report presents a statistical profile of recipients of doctoral degrees awarded by departments in the mathematical sciences at universities in the United States during the period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. Information in the report was provided by the departments that awarded the degrees with additional information provided by the individual new doctoral recipients. The report includes an analysis of the fall 2013 employment plans of 2012–2013 doctoral recipients and a demographic profile summarizing characteristics of citizenship status, gender, and racial/ethnic group. This report is based on a complete census of the 2012–2013 new doctorates and includes information about 2012-2013 doctoral recipients that were not included in the preliminary report in the June/July 2014 issue of Notices.

Geometrical modification of quaternionic quantum mechanics

Abstract: We present an axiomatic modification of quaternionic quantum mechanics with a possible-worlds semantics capable of predicting essential "nonquantum" features of an observable universe model - the dimensionality and topology of spacetime, the existence, the signature and a specific form of a metric on it, and certain naturally distinguished directions (vistas) in spacetime unrelated to its metric properties.
