Telemetry data are usually collected for analysis at some later time and can be monitored to follow the progress of a test. In the case of an Air Data System the signals from the sensors are sent to a computer that calculates the air data parameters for use on multiple LabView-generated displays, as well as to the Data Acquisition System. The readouts on the multiple displays need to be real-time so they are useful to the flight crew. Equations that control the different air data values are determined by what telemetry data are available and the preference of those doing the test planning. These systems need to display the information in a format useful to the flight crew and be reliable.Sponsors

Cross-Validation Indicates Predictive Models May Provide an Alternative to Indicator Organism Monitoring for Evaluating Pathogen Presence in Southwestern US Agricultural WaterPathogen contamination of agricultural water has been identified as a probable cause of recalls and outbreaks. However, variability in pathogen presence and concentration complicates the reliable identification of agricultural water at elevated risk of pathogen presence. In this study, we collected data on the presence of Salmonella and genetic markers for enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC; PCR-based detection of stx and eaeA) in southwestern US canal water, which is used as agricultural water for produce. We developed and assessed the accuracy of models to predict the likelihood of pathogen contamination of southwestern US canal water. Based on 169 samples from 60 surface water canals (each sampled 1–3 times), 36% (60/169) and 21% (36/169) of samples were positive for Salmonella presence and EHEC markers, respectively. Water quality parameters (e.g., generic E. coli level, turbidity), surrounding land-use (e.g., natural cover, cropland cover), weather conditions (e.g., temperature), and sampling site characteristics (e.g., canal type) data were collected as predictor variables. Separate conditional forest models were trained for Salmonella isolation and EHEC marker detection, and cross-validated to assess predictive performance. For Salmonella, turbidity, day of year, generic E. coli level, and % natural cover in a 500–1,000 ft (~150–300 m) buffer around the sampling site were the top 4 predictors identified by the conditional forest model. For EHEC markers, generic E. coli level, day of year, % natural cover in a 250–500 ft (~75–150 m) buffer, and % natural cover in a 500–1,000 ft (~150–300 m) buffer were the top 4 predictors. Predictive performance measures (e.g., area under the curve [AUC]) indicated predictive modeling shows potential as an alternative method for assessing the likelihood of pathogen presence in agricultural water. Secondary conditional forest models with generic E. coli level excluded as a predictor showed < 0.01 difference in AUC as compared to the AUC values for the original models (i.e., with generic E. coli level included as a predictor) for both Salmonella (AUC = 0.84) and EHEC markers (AUC = 0.92). Our data suggests models that do not require the inclusion of microbiological data (e.g., indicator organism) show promise for real-time prediction of pathogen contamination of agricultural water (e.g., in surface water canals).

Water Stress Indices for Research and Irrigation Scheduling in Pearl MilletThe capability to measure the magnitude of water stress in plants is useful for precision irrigation scheduling and other purposes. This paper reports an evaluation of leaf (TL) and canopy (Tc) temperatures, leaf minus air (TL -Ta) and canopy minus air (Tc -Ta) temperatures, and leaf water stress index (LWSI) and crop water stress index (CWSI) in detecting stress in pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) over two growing seasons. Baselines which were used to compute LWSI and CWSI were obtained. The upper and lower baselines for the Tc data, respectively, were Tc -Ta = 4.10 C and Tc -Ta = 3.87- .2001VPD where VPD is vapor pressure deficit in mbars. For the TL data, the upper and lower baselines, respectively, were TL -Ta = 1.97oC and TL -Ta = 1.308- .03006VPD. Tests against photosynthesis, transpiration, and grain yield showed that LWSI and CWSI are better indices of stress than TL -Ta, Tc -Ta, TL, Tc, or Ta. Average seasonal LWSI and CWSI ranged from approximately 0.03 for non- stressed to 0.80 for stressed plants. The reliability of LWSI and CWSI to detect stress and their relation with grain yield suggested the possibility of using these indices for irrigation scheduling decisions.

Use of streamflow indices in hydrologic modelingA perennial streamflow hydrograph, when measured at the outlet of a basin, continuously and without interruption, can be considered as an integral measure of hydrologic responses. Some of the theoretical and practical aspects of treating streamflow hydrographs as integral indicators of basin properties are addressed in this dissertation. This dissertation is divided into two parts. In the first part, a framework to identify and evaluate whether a streamflow variable is consistent and distinguishable in a given time scale and therefore can be considered as a streamflow index, is developed. The suggested framework is evaluated using as an example two streamflow variables that describe some aspects of the hydrograph shape. In the second part of the dissertation, the utilization of these streamflow indices in hydrologic model parameter estimation is demonstrated. It is assumed that streamflow indices that are evaluated on long streamflow records include large variability of climatic scenarios. Therefore, regardless of climate variability, the consistency and distinguishability are maintained the indices are more related to physical properties of a basin. Consequently, the problem of estimating model parameters that are related to basin properties can be approached by a comparison of indices between the observed and simulated streamflow. Three case studies are presented: the first demonstrates that using the streamflow index which describes the shape of the hydrograph in the parameter estimation processes improves consistency of prediction skill of the 5-parameter HYMOD model in the Leaf River, Mississippi. The second case study explores an important property of the shape descriptors as being relatively insensitive to errors in the data. Such property can be potentially used to identify key sources of uncertainty and to select model parameters that are less affected by data errors. In the final case study, the shape descriptors were used to derive the parameters of the gamma function as a model for the basin's Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (IUH).
