NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Ice Crystal Formation at Cirrus Cloud Conditions NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory Seminar SeriesPresenter(s): Daniel A. Knopf, Stony Brook University Sponsor(s): NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory. Seminar Contact(s): Gregory Schill, gregory.schill@noaa.gov Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5098280824508215383Abstract: Atmospheric ice formation impacts climate and the hydrological cycle. Our predictive understanding of primary ice formation from ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is insufficient. Cirrus clouds, consisting solely of ice crystals, form typically at altitudes greater than about 6 km. They can form via different pathways including homogeneous and heterogeneous ice nucleation. At these high altitudes and low temperatures cirrus form at subsaturated conditions with respect to liquid water. In this presentation the case is made that homogeneous and heterogeneous freezing processes can be holistically described in a framework based on condensed-phase water activity, thereby simplifying representation in cloud-resolved modeling. Ice nucleation is often described by a singular, or deterministic (non-time dependent), approach, contrary to classical nucleation theory (CNT) that accounts for the stochastic nature of nucleation. These different viewpoints are discussed, and the application of a water-activity based CNT freezing model to yield a time-dependent and stochastic formulation of ice nucleation relevant for cirrus formation is presented. The choice of freezing parameterization will be discussed in the example of a 1D LES informed mixed-phase cloud modeling study. This model uniquely allows the prognostic treatment of INPs considering both types of ice nucleation descriptions. It turns out that the choice of ice nucleation formalism defines the INP reservoir from which a cloud can draw from to sustain ice crystal formation. These observations also hold for the case of cirrus cloud formation. Bio(s): Daniel Knopf is interested in the cloud formation potential and multiphase chemical kinetics of aerosol particles. Daniel pursues this research by means of laboratory experiments, field measurements, and modeling studies. He has advanced the application of nanoscale single-particle analytical techniques to study the phase transition of aerosol particles. Daniel Knopf is a full professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences with an affiliated appointment at the Department of Chemistry at Stony Brook University, New York.

Overview: Join us for our fourth webinar of the Southeast & Caribbean Regional Collaboration Team 2024 Hurricane Awareness Webinar Series. The Hurricane Awareness Webinar Series highlights the information and capabilities to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Each webinar will explore various topics that are regionally-relevant and will focus on the latest data, tools, and services from NOAA. The webinar series is sponsored by the Southeast & Caribbean Regional Collaboration Team (SECART). Natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis generate large amounts of marine debris that can impact shorelines and waterways, causing hazards to navigation or pollution concerns. This type of debris is difficult to remove and there are often uncertainties regarding agency roles and responsibilities. NOAA's Marine Debris Program has been working to help improve preparedness to these types of events by producing state and territory-specific response guides that can be used to help address challenges associated with disaster generated marine debris.
Bio(s): Jessica Conway is a Response Specialist supporting NOAA's Marine Debris Program through science, collaboration, and relationship building with stakeholders across all levels of government. Since 2015, she has been working to develop various tools and resources for coastal communities with the goal of improving preparedness in the response to and recovery from marine debris generated from disasters.

- Lisa Wise, University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension
Sponsor(s): This webinar is sponsored by the NERRS Science CollaborativeSeminar Contacts: Doug George ( douglas.george@noaa.gov) or Nick Soberal ( nsoberal@umich.edu) Remote Access: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5sgim-lzQHCG26QDccioRQAbstract Since 1994, collaboration among the Great Bay Resource Protection Partnership has resulted in the protection of over 82,000 acres in New Hampshire's coastal watershed. Resources such as the 2006 Land Conservation Plan " which informed watershed protection goals, identified regional priorities, and guided strategic decision-making for over a decade " have contributed to this success by evaluating regional progress and promoting understanding of conservation efforts to date. In 2021, the Nature Conservancy of New Hampshire released an updated version of the plan that reflects new conservation priorities for climate adaptation, water resource protection, wildlife habitat and landscape connectivity corridors, and working lands. Supported by a science transfer grant, the Connect to Protect project facilitated the transfer of knowledge from the updated plan to intended users in the region through a focused outreach effort which included a needs assessment, formal knowledge transfer workshops, and a technical assistance program. In addition to facilitating knowledge transfer and outreach, the project provides a strong example of how funds can be leveraged to launch and support lasting regional relationships that continue beyond a project timeline. In this webinar, team members will discuss the approach and impacts of the project, including where this work sits within the broader context of the region and how collaborative outreach increases the reach of conservation work.

NOAA Science Seminar Series Title: Multi-satellite Water Vapor Products at the Weather Climate Interface Virtual Alaska Weather Symposium (VAWS) Presenter(s): John Forsythe, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere Sponsor(s): NOAA/OAR/Climate Program Office and the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) Seminar Contact(s): Alison Hayden ( abhayden@alaska.edu) & Genie Bey ( genie.bey@noaa.gov) Remote Access: https://uaf-accap.org/event/vaws-satellite-vapor-products/Abstract: Water vapor is the fuel for much of what we perceive as weather, including the formation of clouds and precipitation. Since the primary source of water vapor is evaporation over the oceans, global satellite observations provide an essential measurement. Weather forecasters use two CIRA-developed products, Blended Total Precipitable Water (BTPW) and Advected Layer Precipitable Water (ALPW), to track pipelines of moisture which support heavy precipitation. During this webinar, we will discuss transitions that will be made with these two satellite products this year and we will review how ALPW can be used to forecast extreme events as satellite records begin to cover more decades. Bio(s): John Forsythe is a Senior Research Associate at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO. John is a specialist in satellite meteorology and microwave remote sensing with particular research focus on remote sensing of clouds and water vapor for weather and climate applications.

Kordesch*, Max Delaney, and Maria Brown, NOAA Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, San Francisco, CA (*Affiliate) Sponsor(s): NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) Science Seminar Series Seminar Contacts: Moe Nelson, david.moe.nelson@noaa.govLocation: Webinar Remote Access: Register at https://noaabroadcast.adobeconnect.com/ewoq6ki24utx/event/registration.htmlAccessibility: TBD Abstract: Nature-based solutions like dunes and beaches improve coastal resilience by countering the effects of sea level rise, erosion, and flooding. The proper use of sediment to build up these natural features is therefore critical and requires project managers to navigate a multi-agency regulatory framework for sediment application. The new Efficient Permitting Roadmap (Roadmap) for Coastal Sediment Management is a first-of-its-kind guide to facilitate multi-agency permit review of nature-based projects involving coastal sediment management along the North-central California coast. The Roadmap contains a clearinghouse of information from federal, state and local agencies in a user-friendly format. This information has statewide and national relevance by providing permit and environmental review information for applicable state and federal agencies. The Roadmap is a collaborative success of the North-central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee, a model collaboration of 17 local, state, and federal agencies working together to improve coastal resilience with the best available science, and funded by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, NOAA Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, and California State Lands Commission. Bio(s): Wendy Kordesch, PhD, is the Geological Oceanographer for Greater Farallones Association and NOAA affiliate to Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries. Her work aims to improve coastal ecosystem resilience by promoting the use of nature based solutions to coastal issues through collaboration and research-informed management. Wendy is the scientific lead on the North-Central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee and the lead author of the Efficient Permitting Roadmap. She holds a PhD from the National Oceanography Centre in the United Kingdom and an MS and BS from University of California Santa Cruz. As an avid ocean water swimmer and ocean enthusiast, Wendy is driven to build collaborative efforts to promote the use and stewardship of coastal resources.Max Delaney is a Policy Analyst with NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. He served as the Permit Coordinator for the Greater Farallones and northern Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries from 2012-2022 and currently serves as the federal NOAA representative on the North-central California Coastal Sediment Coordination Committee, supporting sanctuary-led efforts to improve regional sediment management. Prior to working at NOAA, Max was a Permit Analyst at the Bay Conservation Development Commission working on a range of projects from shoreline development to coastal restoration to dredged material management. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Max completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and has resided in the Bay Area since 2004.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Genomic-to-space measurements reveal global ocean nutrient stress Presenter(s): Adam Martiny, University of California - Irvine Sponsor(s): NOAA CoastWatch (STAR) Seminar Contact(s): Victoria.Wegman@noaa.govRemote Access: meet.google.com/uco-uboz-cmk (US) +1 406-838-3189 PIN: 768 242 663# Abstract: Global ocean phytoplankton growth and primary production are intimately linked to nutrient fluctuations from seasonal to millennial time scales. Rapid recycling and tight predator-prey coupling compromise the utility of nutrient or phytoplankton stocks for delineating the biogeography of global ocean nutrient stress. Here, field-measured omics biomarkers of nutritional status are coupled to a satellite remote sensing metric of cell physiology to mechanistically evaluate monthly to multi-decadal shifts in global phytoplankton nutrient stress. We observe a clear biogeography in nutrient stress aligned with variations in nutrient flux rate and distinctly elevated stress in nitrogen- compared to phosphate-limited waters. Temporal modes of stress are dominated by seasonal changes, but strong signatures of natural climate cycles are also apparent. However, a nearly ubiquitous surface ocean warming over the last twenty years is linked to a globally-consistent increase in nutrient stress. Thus, our integrated genomic and satellite remote sensing of phytoplankton physiology has uncovered a clear contemporary regulation of global ocean nutrient stress.
