Modelling the size distribution of aggregated volcanic ash and implications for operational atmospheric dispersion modelling Frances Beckett1, Eduardo Rossi2, Benjamin Devenish1, Claire Witham1, and Costanza Bonadonna2 1Met Office, Exeter, UK 2University of Geneva, Switzerland Correspondence: Frances Beckett (frances.beckett@metoffice.gov.uk) Abstract. We have developed an aggregation scheme for use with the Lagrangian atmospheric transport and dispersion model NAME, which is used by the London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) to provide advice and guidance on the location of volcanic 5 ash clouds to the aviation industry. The aggregation scheme uses the fixed pivot technique to solve the Smoluchowski coagula- tion equations to simulate aggregation processes in an eruption column. This represents the first attempt at modelling explicitly the change in the grain size distribution (GSD) of the ash due to aggregation in a model which is used for operational response. To understand the sensitivity of the output aggregated grain size distribution (AGSD) to the model parameters we conducted a simple parametric study and scaling analysis. We find that the modelled AGSD is sensitive to the density distribution and grain 10 size distribution assigned to the non-aggregated ash at the source. Our ability to accurately forecast the long-range transport of volcanic ash clouds is, therefore, still limited by real-time information on the physical characteristics of the ash. We assess the impact of using the AGSD on model simulations of the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 ash cloud, and consider the implications for operational forecasting.

Abstract Factual storytelling that relies on the participation of real-life people must navigate between obligations towards the participant and the story. By placing the relationship between storyteller and subject at the centre, this thesis offers an interdisciplinary examination of ethical and moral issues in the context of turning other people’s experiences into mediated narrative. Besides bringing the interests of participating subjects to the forefront, the study explores the relevance of care ethics within a media context and argues how this perspective contributes to ethical and moral reflection in the scholarly domain of media ethics as well as within media practice. This involves operationalizing the theory of care ethics, with particular emphasis on relational obligations and the moral significance of emotions. With its focus on relational and emotional aspects, the study joins the emerging discussion about the affective dimensions of journalism and extends this discussion to the domain of media ethics.

Iceland produces a large amount of dust, with dust storms reported frequently especially along the South Coast and in the Highlands. Nearly 20% of the country is classified as a desert with a highly erodible surface coupled with frequent windy conditions from synoptic and mesoscale weather systems which favors dust storms to occur. In addition, new material is constantly being created through glacial, fluvial, and aeolian erosion processes, as well as input of volcanic ash from volcanic eruptions.

  • George Rex Genealogy
    GEORGE REX GENEALOGY Ancestry and Descendants oF George Rex First of England to Pennsylvania in 1771 •• BY LEDA FERRELL REX Privately Published in Wichita, Kansas 1933 PUBLISHED BY THE FRANKLIN PRINTERY WICHITA, KANSAS PREFACE m To Charles Swan Rex we are indebted for the exis­ tence of this genealogy. In writing to Dr. Parks Rex under date of January 17th, 1893, he says: "I have been working on the Rex genealogy for more than two years" which he continued intermittently until the time of his death, May 12, 1917. In compliance with his request, the wor~ was then carried on by his eldest son, George B. Rex who diligently searched in all lines until some four years ago when he put the task into my hands. When it was first suggested to me I refused, but later the thought insistently recurred to my mind that if I did not do this work perhaps it might never be done. I had read in many letters written by Chas. S. Rex how desirous he was to finish the book and how he feared failing health would prevent. To have his hard work lost disturbed me, and again I thought, as the·father of my boy was gone, perhaps in his place it was my duty to do this work. As an offering to The House of Rex. in remembrance of the father of my boy, and for the benefit of my son and all others of the younger generations I bring my little con­ tribution. Tradition, history and dates are all as correct and complete as it was possible for me to obtain them.

  • The Letters of Samuel Beckett Offers for the First Time a Comprehen- Sive Range of Letters of One of the Greatest Literary Figures of the Twentieth Century
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86793-1 - The Letters of Samuel Beckett: Volume I: 1929–1940 Editors: Martha Dow Fehsenfeld and Lois More Overbeck Frontmatter More information The Letters of Samuel Beckett offers for the first time a comprehen- sive range of letters of one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. This volume includes letters written between 1929 and 1940. It provides a vivid and personal view of Western Europe in the 1930s, marked by the gradual emergence, against his own hesitations and the indifference or hostility of others, of Beckett’s unique voice and sensibility. Even in the tentativeness of the early writing, the letters show his care for his work as well as what he must share or relinquish to allow it to have a life beyond himself. Detailed introductions, translations, explanatory notes, profiles of major correspondents, chronologies, and other contex- tual information accompany the letters. For anyone interested in twentieth-century literature and theatre this edition offers not only a record of achievements but a powerful literary experience in itself. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86793-1 - The Letters of Samuel Beckett: Volume I: 1929–1940 Editors: Martha Dow Fehsenfeld and Lois More Overbeck Frontmatter More information Samuel Beckett to Mary Manning Howe, 13 December 1936 Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, The University of Texas at Austin © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org
