INTRIERI A group of meteorologists, hydrologists, climate scientists, atmospheric chemists, and oceanographers have created an interdisciplinary research effort to explore the causes of variability of rainfall, flooding and water supply along the U.S. West Coast. alWater is a multiyear program of field cam- air pollution, aerosol chemistry, and climate. The paigns, numerical modeling experiments, and purpose of the CalWater workshop was threefold: 1) to C scientific analysis focused on phenomena that discuss key science gaps and the potential for lever- are key to the water supply and associated extremes aging long-term Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) (drought, flood) in the U.S. West Coast region.

The explore interest in the potential impacts of anthropo- results from CalWater are also relevant in many genic aerosols on California’s water supply, and 3) to other regions around the globe. CalWater began as build on the Suppression of Precipitation (SUPRECIP) a workshop at Scripps Institution of Oceanography experiment from 2005 to 2007 (Rosenfeld et al. 2008b) (SIO) in 2008 that brought

Un- derwater optics are known to be affected by particles in the water, i.e. the turbidity, but less is known about the effect of so-called “optical turbu- lence". Local changes in the index of refraction caused by small-scale tem- perature and salinity microstructure in the water can impact underwater electro- optical (EO) signal transmission. The phenomenon is similar to the "Schlieren" effect seen in air wavering over a hot candle or asphalt road. the UNOLS Figure 2: Dr. Silvia Matt, NRC Associate, looks on as instruments are deployed o٦ research vessel R/V New Horizon. continued on page 19 “The Postdoc” highlights research and activities of NRC Associates and Advisers in participating federal government agency laboratory programs with the NRC.

As you know, these experts were selected by UCSD’s Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and were introduced (via a video-call) to SDEA and District leaders on July 29th. The panel was invited to respond to written questions prepared by SDEA and the District this past week. Each panelist was asked to respond only to those questions they felt were in their field of professional expertise. This report consists of: (a) a summary of the experts’ responses to each issue, and (b) recommendations made in my capacity as medical consultant to this district and a UCSD expert in the field of school health. The summary and my recommendations are grouped into three sections: A. School Re-opening B. Disease Mitigation Strategies C. School Closure My recommendations, and those of the UCSD experts, are a ‘moment in time’, insofar as they reflect present-day knowledge of how this virus is transmitted as well as the current disease incidence and resources available in San Diego County.

During the next few days recent advances in aerosol science will be featured in plenary lectures, platform sessions, and poster presentations. This year, special symposia highlight the relationship between aerosols and climate change, microdosimetry of inhaled particles and drug aerosols, aerosols in the Southeastern U.S., and heterogeneous aerosol chemistry. This meeting holds a special place in my heart. As a graduate student, attending for the first time in 1992, I was exposed to cutting edge science across the field, and I met many wonderful people who are now colleagues, collaborators and friends. That experience, and my experience at subsequent AAAR conferences, helped me decide on a career in aerosol research. This year's meeting promises more of the mix of excellent science and collegiality we have all come to expect.
