    Description: In the Bay of Bengal, the warm, dry boreal spring concludes with the onset of the summer monsoon and accompanying southwesterly winds, heavy rains, and variable air–sea fluxes. Here, we summarize the 2018 monsoon onset using observations collected through the multinational Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Bay of Bengal (MISO-BoB) program between the United States, India, and Sri Lanka. MISO-BoB aims to improve understanding of monsoon intraseasonal variability, and the 2018 field effort captured the coupled air–sea response during a transition from active-to-break conditions in the central BoB. The active phase of the ∼20-day research cruise was characterized by warm sea surface temperature (SST 〉 30°C), cold atmospheric outflows with intermittent heavy rainfall, and increasing winds (from 2 to 15 m s−1). Accumulated rainfall exceeded 200 mm with 90% of precipitation occurring during the first week. The following break period was both dry and clear, with persistent 10–12 m s−1 wind and evaporation of 0.2 mm h−1. The evolving environmental state included a deepening ocean mixed layer (from ∼20 to 50 m), cooling SST (by ∼1°C), and warming/drying of the lower to midtroposphere. Local atmospheric development was consistent with phasing of the large-scale intraseasonal oscillation. The upper ocean stores significant heat in the BoB, enough to maintain SST above 29°C despite cooling by surface fluxes and ocean mixing. Comparison with reanalysis indicates biases in air–sea fluxes, which may be related to overly cool prescribed SST. Resolution of such biases offers a path toward improved forecasting of transition periods in the monsoon.

    Description: This chapter details 2020 global patterns in select observed oceanic physical, chemical, and biological variables relative to long-term climatologies, their differences between 2020 and 2019, and puts 2020 observations in the context of the historical record. In this overview we address a few of the highlights, first in haiku, then paragraph form: La Niña arrives, shifts winds, rain, heat, salt, carbon: Pacific—beyond. Global ocean conditions in 2020 reflected a transition from an El Niño in 2018–19 to a La Niña in late 2020. Pacific trade winds strengthened in 2020 relative to 2019, driving anomalously westward Pacific equatorial surface currents. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs), upper ocean heat content, and sea surface height all fell in the eastern tropical Pacific and rose in the western tropical Pacific. Efflux of carbon dioxide from ocean to atmosphere was larger than average across much of the equatorial Pacific, and both chlorophyll-a and phytoplankton carbon concentrations were elevated across the tropical Pacific. Less rain fell and more water evaporated in the western equatorial Pacific, consonant with increased sea surface salinity (SSS) there. SSS may also have increased as a result of anomalously westward surface currents advecting salty water from the east. El Niño–Southern Oscillation conditions have global ramifications that reverberate throughout the report.

    Notes: Valence XPS studies of well oriented polyethylene mats, deposited on a gold substrate, provide direct evidence of the existence of the fold structure at the sample surface and confirm earlier suggestions that conformation is directly fingerprinted in that energy region of the spectra. These results also provide new insight into the origin of the valence XPS spectra differences, so far unexplained, of n-tridecane recorded in gas and solid phase.

    Description: The Red Sea, home to the second-longest coral reef system in the world, is a vital resource for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Red Sea provides 90% of the Kingdom’s potable water by desalinization, supporting tourism, shipping, aquaculture, and fishing industries, which together contribute about 10%–20% of the country’s GDP. All these activities, and those elsewhere in the Red Sea region, critically depend on oceanic and atmospheric conditions. At a time of mega-development projects along the Red Sea coast, and global warming, authorities are working on optimizing the harnessing of environmental resources, including renewable energy and rainwater harvesting. All these require high-resolution weather and climate information. Toward this end, we have undertaken a multipronged research and development activity in which we are developing an integrated data-driven regional coupled modeling system. The telescopically nested components include 5-km- to 600-m-resolution atmospheric models to address weather and climate challenges, 4-km- to 50-m-resolution ocean models with regional and coastal configurations to simulate and predict the general and mesoscale circulation, 4-km- to 100-m-resolution ecosystem models to simulate the biogeochemistry, and 1-km- to 50-m-resolution wave models. In addition, a complementary probabilistic transport modeling system predicts dispersion of contaminant plumes, oil spill, and marine ecosystem connectivity. Advanced ensemble data assimilation capabilities have also been implemented for accurate forecasting. Resulting achievements include significant advancement in our understanding of the regional circulation and its connection to the global climate, development, and validation of long-term Red Sea regional atmospheric–oceanic–wave reanalyses and forecasting capacities. These products are being extensively used by academia, government, and industry in various weather and marine studies and operations, environmental policies, renewable energy applications, impact assessment, flood forecasting, and more.

    Description: The NOAA Science Advisory Board appointed a task force to prepare a white paper on the use of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs). Considering the importance and timeliness of this topic and based on this white paper, here we briefly review the use of OSSEs in the United States, discuss their values and limitations, and develop five recommendations for moving forward: national coordination of relevant research efforts, acceleration of OSSE development for Earth system models, consideration of the potential impact on OSSEs of deficiencies in the current data assimilation and prediction system, innovative and new applications of OSSEs, and extension of OSSEs to societal impacts. OSSEs can be complemented by calculations of forecast sensitivity to observations, which simultaneously evaluate the impact of different observation types in a forecast model system.

    Notes: The present study deals with kinetic modeling of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by integral progress curve analysis, and shows how to apply this technique to kinetic resolution of enantiomers. It is shown that kinetic parameters for both enantiomers and the enantioselectivity of the enzyme may be obtained from the progress curve measurement of a racemate only.A parameter estimation procedure has been established and it is shown that the covariance matrix of the obtained parameters is a useful statistical tool in the selection and verification of the model structure. Standard deviations calculated from this matrix have shown that progress curve analysis yields parameter values with high accuracies.Potential sources of systematic errors in (multiple) progress curve analysis are addressed in this article. Amongst these, the following needed to be dealt with: (1) the true initial substrate concentrations were obtained from the final amount of product experimentally measured (mass balancing); (2) systematic errors in the initial enzyme concentration were corrected by incorporating this variable in the fitting procedure as an extra parameter per curve; and (3) enzyme inactivation is included in the model and a first-order inactivation constant is determined.Experimental verification was carried out by continuous monitoring of the hydrolysis of ethyl 2-chloropropionate by carboxylesterase NP and the α-chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzoylalanine mathyl ester in a pH-stat system. Kinetic parameter values were obtained with high accuracies and model predictions were in good agreement with independent measurements of enantiomeric excess values or literature data. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Keywords: Catharanthus roseus ; ajmalicine production ; enzyme activities ; dissolved oxygen ; nutrients concentration ; high density culture ; Chemistry ; Biochemistry and Biotechnology

    Topics: Biology , Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition Technology
    Notes: Oxygen and nutrient limitation was investigated in order to identify the origin of a lower specific ajmalicine production in Catharanthus roseus cultures at high cell densities in an induction medium. The effect of oxygen limitation was explored by comparing two identically aerated and agitated high cell density bioreactor cultures with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 15% and 85% of air saturation, with respect to alkaloid formation and related enzymes activities. Oxygen had an evident effect on ajmalicine production: in the high DO cultures production was more than 5 times higher than in the low DO cultures. The difference in ajmalicine production between high and low DO could not be explained by the enzyme activity profiles. Moreover, the productivity in the high density culture could not restored to the level of a low density culture (at a high DO) by increasing the DO alone. The effect of nutrient limitation was studied with response surface methodology in shake flask cultures. Nutrient limitation could not be demonstrated to be responsible for the productivity loss. Alkaloid and enzyme measurements in the shake flask cultures supported previous findings that the tryptamine pathway may regulate alkaloid production, provided that the terpenoid pathway is sufficiently active. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
