Abstract The analysis of the spatiotemporal variability wind power remains limited during planning stage an offshore farm. This study provides a framework to investigate how varies along Central California Coast over diurnal and seasonal time scales, which is critical for reliability functionality grid system. We find that in this region peaks evening hours across all seasons maximizes spring summer. timing peak production better aligns with demand than solar land-based production,...
Abstract We report on the stellar occultation by (523764) 2014 WC 510 observed 2018 December 1 UT. This campaign was part of Research and Education Collaborative Occultation Network (RECON), a network small telescopes spread over 2000 km in western USA Canada. Light curves from six stations revealed three groups two or more consecutive flux drops correlated time between adjacent stations. A Bayesian model comparison reveals that with double object occulting star is favored alternative models...
Abstract A stellar occultation by the extreme large-perihelion trans-Neptunian object (541132) Leleākūhonua (also known provisional designation of 2015 TG 387 ) was predicted Lucky Star project and observed with Research Education Collaborative Occultation Network on 2018 October 20 UT. single detection a nearby nondetection provide constraints for size albedo. When circular profile is assumed, radius <?CDATA $r={110}_{-10}^{+14}$?> km, corresponding to geometric albedo...
We present results from the first recorded stellar occultation by large trans-Neptunian object (174567) Varda that was observed on September 10$^{\rm th}$, 2018. belongs to high-inclination dynamically excited population, and has a satellite, Ilmar\"e, which is half size of Varda. determine albedo constrain its 3D shape density. Thirteen different sites in USA monitored event, five detected an main body. A best-fitting ellipse chords provides instantaneous limb body, geometric computed. The...
In 2019, the Research and Education Collaborative Occultation Network (RECON) obtained multiple-chord occultation measurements of two centaur objects: 2014 YY$_{49}$ on 2019 January 28 2013 NL$_{24}$ September 4. RECON is a citizen-science telescope network designed to observe high-uncertainty occultations by outer solar system objects. Adopting circular models for object profiles, we derive radius $r=16^{+2}_{-1}$km geometric albedo $p_V=0.13^{+0.015}_{-0.024}$ YY$_{49}$, $r=66...
Abstract In response to the growing interest in offshore wind energy development California, U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management delineated three Call Areas for potential leasing. This study provides a comprehensive characterization and comparison power within two Central California (Diablo Canyon Morro Bay) using 12‐ 15‐MW turbines under different inter‐turbine spacing farm size scenarios. Our analysis shows similar daily seasonal patterns produced Areas, which peak spring during evening...
Non-algal particles and chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) are two major classes of seawater constituents that contribute substantially to light absorption in the ocean within ultraviolet (UV) visible (VIS) spectral regions. The similarities shape these constituent coefficients, a d ( λ ) g ), respectively, have led their common estimation as single combined non-phytoplankton coefficient, dg optical remote-sensing applications. Given different biogeochemical ecological roles...
Extending the capabilities of optical remote sensing and inverse algorithms, which have been commonly focused on visible (VIS) range electromagnetic spectrum, to derive properties seawater in ultraviolet (UV) is important advancing understanding various optical, biological, photochemical processes ocean. In particular, existing remote-sensing reflectance models that total spectral absorption coefficient seawater, a(λ), partitioning partition a(λ) into component coefficients phytoplankton,...
