A Gap Analysis of Meteorological Requirements for Commercial Space Operators
… soon be the primary method of launching people and supplies into orbit. Among the critical aspects of space launches are the meteorological concerns. Laws and regulations pertaining to meteorological considerations have been created to ensure the safety of the space industry and those living …

Hyperspectral and polarimetric imaging of the ocean for the characterization of the surface effects and measurement uncertainties
<p>Ocean and coastal waters are monitored by Ocean Color satellite sensors to determine concentrations of chlorophyll and water properties and identify areas of algal blooms and other events. The light radiance from the ocean is weak in comparison with the sky radiance, which requires very accurate …

Response and Recovery of Horn and Petit Bois Islands, Mississippi, USA to Tropical Cyclone Impacts: 2004 – 2016
<p>Horn and Petit Bois islands are two of five Mississippi (MS) barrier islands that provide physical protection from tropical cyclones threatening the MS Gulf Coast, in addition to critical habitat for the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). In September 2004, Hurricane Ivan removed a large volume of …

Influence of Natural and Anthropogenic Environmental Variability on Larval Fish Diet, Growth, and Condition in the Northcentral Gulf of Mexico
… various sources including the Mississippi River and Mobile Bay, among other sources. Early life history stages of fishes are especially vulnerable to environmental variability created by freshwater discharge. The objectives of this study were to describe the available prey field, diet, growth and …

Acoustic-Gravity Wave Propagation Based on Solutions to the Generalized Multi-component Transport Equations
<p>Nonlinear atmospheric models have provided important insight into acoustic waves generated by natural and man-made hazards, which may steepen into shocks or N-waves while also dissipating when propagating in the thermosphere. Although models have yielded results that agree with observations of …

Modeling Hourly Storm Surges using Deep Learning Techniques
… of storm surges is essential for predicting and mitigating these impacts. Traditional approaches model surges at individual tide gauges and often focus on daily time scales, leading to data redundancy and limiting their ability to capture sub-daily variability. This study addresses these …

Determining the Viability of Recent Storms as Modern Analogues for North-Central Gulf of Mexico Paleotempestology Through Sedimentary Analysis and Storm Surge Reconstruction
… by recent intense storms. Camille (1969) and Katrina (2005) are two notable hurricanes that made landfall in virtually the same location in Mississippi. However, fully understanding the risks and processes associated with hurricane impacts is impeded by a short and fragmented instrumental …

Balloon Borne GPS-Enabled Radiosondes That Enable Simultaneous Multi-Point Atmospheric Sensing With a Single Ground Station
<p>Radiosondes are balloon borne atmospheric instruments that are a critical tool for understanding dynamics in the lower layers of the atmosphere. The low-cost radiosondes developed in the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab have been further developed to improve the system's use as a …

Examining the Impact of Bonnet Carré Spillway Opening on Hypoxia Evolution in the Mississippi Sound and Bight: A 2019 Case Study
… the Mississippi River into the Mississippi Sound and Bight (MSAB). These events dramatically altered the region's salinity, circulation, and ecological conditions, raising concerns about their role in hypoxia formation. This study uses a high-resolution, coupled physical-biogeochemical component …

Northern San Francisco Bay Ecological Risk Assessment: Potential Crude by Rail Incident
… models, ecological risks, response options, and costs were assessed for a discharge of Bakken crude oil into the Northern San Francisco Bay from a train derailment. This assessment was based on the risk of crude by rail derailments into the San Francisco Bay; in 2014, California oil …
