Legacy Journal: Noise Analysis

Section:
Briefs

Summary:

The scientific investigation of complex and dynamic systems like global climate, national economies and species specific evolutionary genomics often involves large amounts of data, signal analysis, model building, statistical analysis for pattern formation and recognition. Patterns may be obscured and distorted by "noise" or created by the biases and algorithms that gird the tools of analysis.

The Oceans are an example of a very complex and poorly described system. Enter the lowly and humble krill.

Main:
A recent nytimes science observer article focused on a paper focused on the significant effects of the feeding habits of krill in numbers in British Colombia fjords on the mixing of ocean waters between the surface and 300 ft. Talk about ecology and “the butterfly effect”. And we thought it was all about currents, tides, waves, conveyors, and such.

Meanwhile:

* The California Attorney General is considering a class action suit against U.S. automobile manufacturers for “poisoning” California air with carbon dioxide.

* A bill from California Legislature and signed by the Governor, targets state cement plants, oil refineries and fossil fuel electrical generation plants with carbon dioxide emission penalties.

* James Hanson, PhD of NASA and the Goddard Institute of Space Science in NYC, the career carbon dioxide whistle blower, has issued yet another dire warning on the environmental emergency of accelerating, human caused, global warming, The publication is the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science.

And in the “science we already know “category, investigators have again confirmed that:

* Plant photosyntheses rates and productivity are increased in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere.

* The ocean bottoms sequester large amounts of carbonates.

* Atmospheric methane, a product of digestion and marshlands, is a potentially powerful greenhouse gas.

Meanwhile:

* With falling oil and natural gas prices, the froth is off many Greenwich hedge funds in Greenwich and ethanol plans in California.
