Internship Program for Minority Students NCAR/TN-1 19+PROC NCAR TECHNICAL NOTE IlP Ab March 1977 Fellowship Program in Scientific Computing; Internship Program for Minority Students Computing Facility Summer 1976 Editors: Jeanne C. Adams Russell K. Rew ATMOSPHERIC TECHNOLOGY DIVISIONhi 8 as b 1 -e - -- I _ - :,, NATIONAL CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH i BOULDER, COLORADC I iii PREFACE The papers contained in the 1976 Technical Note NCAR/TN-119+PROC represent the research and programming carried out by 12 students in the Computing Facility summer programs during the summer of 1976. The papers were written by the students, and reviewed by the scientific and programming staff who worked with them. A wide variety of topics are included, since the students were assigned to many different projects according to their interests and their academic background. Many staff members part- icipated--scientists, programmers and technical staff--supervising students, . consulting, giving lectures and courses for the students. The Computing Facility Staff Summer Fellowship Program Russell Rew, the Computing Facility Librarian, was co-director of the Jeanne Adams program. Linda Besen was administrative Program Dixector assistant for the program as well as editorial assistant for the collection of papers presented in this report. Internship Program Richard Valent, Jo Walsh and Fred Glare supervised the interns in their work assignments. Richard Valent monitored y ii the course credit hours for which the students had registered under a cooperative >7 education arrangement with their univ- ersities. Russell Rew Program Co-Director iv The Students Two groups of students participated, one group of nine in the Summer Fellowship Program in Scientific Computing; the other group of three in the Internship Program Left to right: Eric Barron, Jim for minority students.

Karen Kendrick Atlanta University Arleen Kimble Prairie View A & M University Campanella Tones Prairie View A & M University v Summer Fellowship Program The students arrived at NCAR around June 14. These students, most of whom are graduate students, are chosen on the basis of their interest in the atmospheric sciences, as well as their academic background. A committee of three staff members at NCAR examined the applications and made the selections. The students spent the first two and a half weeks in an intensive programming review, so that they would have an introduction to the most unfamiliar features of the NCAR operating system before work was begun on the scientific projects. The topics covered during this first part of the summer were varied: Russell Rew conducted seminars that reviewed FORTRAN and the NCAR operating system for half a day; the other half day covered topics in input/output, which I presented. The students all wrote and designed a program which required the buffering techniques usually needed for a large simulation model that is not core-contained. An introduction to direct access was presented as an alternate approach to complicated problems with out-of-core data arrays. The topics in the first two and a half week review are listed. Marie Working lectures on "Terminal Command Language; John Gary 's talk is on "Numerical Solution of Hyperbolic Equations." vi FORTRAN Review Input/Output 1st Week NCAR System Orientation I/O and Control Cards I/O--Word Formats, Computer Arithmetic, Core Dumps Physical Characteristics of I/O Devices and Tapes 2nd Week FORTRAN Review Files and Sequential Access Blocking and Use of LCM Datasets and Direct Access I/O Overlays 3rd Week Programming Style SAVE and RESTART Use of Graphics Special Routines for Use in I/O Access Time and Transfer Rates Computing Facility Summer Seminar Series For the remainder of the summer there were two lecture series given weekly.

Without the support and co- operation of these scientists, the program could not use real projects for study. I want to acknowledge and thank the scientists for their participation in the program and their interest in the students. They provided many hours of consultation and scientific support.

There were two under- graduates from the Computer Science Education department of Prairie View A & M University and one undergraduate from the Computation Center of Atlanta University. Clyde Christopher, Director of Computer Science Education at Prairie View A & M University, was a guest lecturer during the first week of the program. Grover Simmons, Director of the Computation Center Clyde Christopher at Atlanta University, lectured and provided consulting for the students during the latter part of the program. Internship Courses During the first few weeks of the program, Jo Walsh taught Beginning FORTRAN for the Computing Facility Interns and the student interns active in the Advanced Study Program. This class was essentially a review for the interns since they already had programming experience through their course work. During this same period, I taught a course in "Computer Organization" for which the three Computing Facility Interns received 3 credit hours. The second credit course was offered during the later part of the summer. The following Computing Facility Staff gave lectures in Numerical Calculus; Richard Valent organized the course as well as lectured. Grover Simmons xi Topic Speaker Error Discussion Jo Walsh Derivatives Ben Domenico Matrix and Linear Simultaneous Equations Ben Domenico Polynomial Approximation Fred Clare Roots of Equations Dick Valent Integrals Russ Rew Euler's Method Jo Walsh The interns attended a number of the sessions in the lecture series as w.ell as their courses and the testing project meetings throughout the summer. .............. r (ASP Student) and Karen Kendrick (Intern)

  • Climate Change and Indian Forestry
    Climate Change and Indian Forestry Changes in the earth’s climate are affecting the growth, mortality, and composition of forestland resources and the ecosystem qualities and services upon which people depend. The range and scale of impacts are large. Changing weather patterns are imposing new threats to important species of plants (including trees), wildlife, and cultural resources. Adjusting forest plans and practices to accommodate climate changes will impose additional costs, logistical constraints, and other management challenges for forestry programs. While such impacts logically extend across political boundaries and property ownerships, IFMAT is most interested in the effects of climate change on Indian forestry. Federal responses to climate change are reshaping agency priorities and institutional arrangements affecting how federal trust obligations to tribes are being implemented. For Changes in temperature and precipitation cycles are instance, the availability of federal financial and occurring in Indian Country. Photo by Robyn Broyles. technical assistance becomes a critical element in determining tribal potential for adaptive response to climate change. This is especially true where drought, insects, disease and wildfire are affecting Indian timberlands and woodlands. The rate of global warming and the range of observed impacts have increased since IFMAT I (Climate Central 2012, QFR 2009). Systems and resources supporting or depending on forests, such as water supplies, wildlife, energy, housing and infrastructure, food and agriculture, and human health are being affected. Climate change exacts disproportionate social, economic, and cultural impacts on tribes limited by scarce resources, mobility, and access to information. These inequities are amplified as rates of change accelerate (Bull Bennett and Maynard 2013).

  • Key Messages from Cc9
    KEY MESSAGES FROM CC9 1. The shared vision for long-term cooperation should make a clear reference to the respect of human rights as a core guiding principle of the post-2012 agreement. This is necessary to ensure climate justice and the fulfillment of the UN Millennium Development Goals. 2. Fostering an environment of trust is essential to secure a global agreement. Industrialised countries urgently need to take the lead in cutting emissions at home while at the same time providing substantial funding for adaptation and mitigation in developing countries. 3. It is imperative that we contain global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. To achieve this, we need a clear, transparent and predictable greenhouse gas reduction trajectory, with global participation. Different countries do however have different circumstances, and as such will need appropriate incentives to ‘dock’ into the global climate agreement. 4. The response to climate change should foster important co-benefits, such as job creation, environmental protection and health. 5. Sectoral approaches are essential complements to a comprehensive agreement, fostering enhanced collaboration, technology transfer, the elimination of deployment barriers, and early action. 6. Accelerated development and deployment of low emission technology must remain a primary target. Governments need to significantly scale up public funding for R&D, and develop simple, transparent and locally adapted regulations and incentives to drive the development of and markets for low-carbon technologies. 7. Incentives should be designed to accommodate technologies that enable emissions reductions beyond zero emissions, ie. carbon negative technologies such as biomass with carbon capture and storage, carbon-binding cement and biochar.
