A Meteorological and Snow observational data set from Snoqualmie Pass (921 m), Washington Cascades, U.S.

We introduce a quality controlled observational atmospheric, snow, and soil data set from Snoqualmie Pass, Washington, U.S.A., to enable testing of hydrometeorological and snow process representations within a rain-snow transitional climate where existing observations are sparse and limited. Continuous meteorological forcing (including air temperature, total precipitation, wind speed, specific humidity, air pressure, short- and longwave irradiance) are provided at hourly intervals for a 24-year historical period (water years 1989-2012) and at half-hourly intervals for a more-recent period (water years 2013-2015), separated based on the availability of observations. Additional observations include 40-years of snow board new snow accumulation, multiple measurements of total snow depth, and manual snow pits, while more recent years include sub-daily surface temperature, snowpack drainage, soil moisture and temperature profiles, and eddy co-variance derived turbulent heat flux. This data set is ideal for testing hypotheses about energy balance, soil and snow processes in the rain-snow transition zone.

CARTA DE WASHINGTON, CARTA INTERNACIONAL PARA A SALVAGUARDA DAS CIDADES HISTÓRICAS

Em resultado de um desenvolvimento mais ou menos espontâneo ou de um projecto deliberado, todas as cidades do mundo são a expressão material da diversidade das sociedades através da história, sendo, por esse facto, históricas. A presente carta diz respeito, mais precisamente, às cidades grandes ou pequenas e aos centros ou bairros históricos, com o seu ambiente natural ou edificado, que, para além da sua qualidade como documento histórico, expressam os valores próprios das civilizações urbanas tradicionais. Ora, estas estão ameaçadas pela degradação, desestruturação ou destruição, consequência de um tipo de urbanismo nascido na industrialização e que atinge hoje universalmente todas as sociedades.

Fort Richardson Ordnance Detonations and the Harbor Porpoise: A Case Study in Marine Mammal Bioacoustics

Hearing is extremely important for cetaceans because it is their “principal sense” (Weilgart, 2007) thus the harbor porpoise and other marine animals are highly dependent on sound for survival. This is why we should care about the impact of noise on animals like the harbor porpoise. Since sound travels so well in water, an explosion, sonar, boat noise, etc. can affect a very large area and thus many different species of marine mammals. Although military actions such as low frequency sonar have made recent news, noise has been affecting cetaceans, especially beaked whales, since at least 1991 (Weilgart, 2007). This study is an investigation of the possible impacts of artillery detonated on land on harbor porpoise hearing and covers some of the history of Fort Richardson, the legal and historical aspects and history of this type of concern, the science and physics of sound, marine mammal hearing and general biology of the harbor porpoise. Data were collected at the Fort Richardson Army base during June of 2007 by researchers from the University of Connecticut and the University of Rhode Island and will be used to determine the possible impacts that these detonations could have on the harbor porpoise.
