Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals: Standard Work Specifications (SWS) Maintenance Charter and Procedures

The SWS were built by industry, for industry, and DOE and NREL facilitated the process to create them. The goal of the SWS maintenance process is to continue the consensus-based engagement to ensure the SWS content remains a relevant resource for promoting industry- accepted practices and maintaining consistency throughout the industry. This SWS Maintenance Charter and Procedures document defines the SWS maintenance process to provide transparency to stakeholders in how the SWS are maintained.

Design and status of the detector block for the ISO-SWS

The Short Wave Spectrometer (SWS) is one of the two spectrometers for the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). It consists of a pair of grating spectrometers and a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Together, the grating spectrometers cover the wavelength range 2.4 to 45 microns, at a resolution between 1000 and 2000. The Fabry-Perot interferometer, in series with one of the grating spectrometers, provides a resolution of about 20,000 at the wavelengths between 15 and 35 microns. The SWS is being built by the Space Research Organization of the Netherlands and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany. The spectrometer has 52 discrete detectors, most of which are bulk detectors. In the design of the spectrometer, the main emphasis is on the sensitivity of the individual channels, rather than on the number of detectors. This was one of the main reasons to select non-destructive read-out circuits, with a separate heated-JFET pre-amplifier for each individual detector. The signals are amplified and filtered in parallel. The engineering tests on the SWS detector block have not yet been completed. The design of the detector block is described and the present problem areas are indicated.

The ISO SWS on-line system

The software which is currently being developed for the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is described. The spectrometer has a wide range of capabilities in the 2-45 micron infrared band. SWS contains two independent gratings, one for the long and one for the short wavelength section of the band. With the gratings a spectral resolution of approximately 1000 to approximately 2500 can be obtained. The instrument also contains two Fabry-Perault's yielding a resolution between approximately 1000 and approximately 20000. Software is currently being developed for the acquisition, calibration, and analysis of SWS data. The software is firstly required to run in a pipeline mode without human interaction, to process data as they are received from the telescope. However, both for testing and calibration of the instrument as well as for evaluation of the planned operating procedures the software should also be suitable for interactive use. Thirdly the same software will be used for long term characterization of the instrument. The software must work properly within the environment designed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the spacecraft operations. As a result strict constraints are put on I/O devices, throughput etc.

Spectral Invariant Behavior of Zenith Radiance Around Cloud Edges Observed by ARM SWS

The ARM Shortwave Spectrometer (SWS) measures zenith radiance at 418 wavelengths between 350 and 2170 nm. Because of its 1-sec sampling resolution, the SWS provides a unique capability to study the transition zone between cloudy and clear sky areas. A spectral invariant behavior is found between ratios of zenith radiance spectra during the transition from cloudy to cloud-free. This behavior suggests that the spectral signature of the transition zone is a linear mixture between the two extremes (definitely cloudy and definitely clear). The weighting function of the linear mixture is a wavelength-independent characteristic of the transition zone. It is shown that the transition zone spectrum is fully determined by this function and zenith radiance spectra of clear and cloudy regions. An important result of these discoveries is that high temporal resolution radiance measurements in the clear-to-cloud transition zone can be well approximated by lower temporal resolution measurements plus linear interpolation.

Shortwave Spectrometer (SWS) zenith radiance swsrad.b1 v3 and higher

Hyperspectral zenith radiances from the SWS instrument reported at 1 Hz. This data stream contains calibrated, dark-subtracted, radiances from two grating array spectrometers: a Si-detector based spectrometer denoted by SW and an InGaAs based detector denoted by LW. Spectra from both spectrometers are calibrated based on the spectral responsivity determined by reference against NIST-traceable light sources are reported independently as separate arrays having the same time record but wavelength dimension specified for each detector. Because the LW spectrometer is more susceptible to temperature-induced changes, a scale factor adjustment is applied the the LW spectra to yield agreement with the SW spectra over the wavelength range where they overlap. The final radiances incorporate QC to flag saturated values, periods where house-keeping fields fall outside acceptable bounds, and to flag pixels for which the spectral responsivity is not acceptable.

SWS TechTalk: System Modeling in Support of IASMS Definition

Topic: System modeling in support of IASMS definition 1. What is system modeling? 2. What are the building blocks necessary for a formal model of the IASMS concept of operations, or “conops”, and “architectures”? 3. Scenario modeling to support safety demonstrator planning and technology integration The System Wide Safety Tech Talks will offer a great opportunity to keep up on each other’s work and accomplishments, as well as an opportunity to find areas of potential collaboration. The topics of these technical talks will cover any papers, presentations, special trips, or meetings that are a part of SWS.

ISOPHOT and SWS spectra of classical novae in outburst

The rationale for making photometric and spectroscopic observations of classical novae using the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is reviewed. Special attention is given to the coronal phase in ONeMg novae. The abundances of CNO, Ne, Mg, Al and Si were obtained from ISO's short wavelength spectrometer (SWS) data. The presence of forbidden line and dust emissions after the outburst were investigated with ISO photometer (ISOPHOT) photometry from 5 micrometers to 200 micrometers.

SWS and LWS observations of Cassiopeia A

The observations of the Casssiopeia A supernova remnant performed with the short wavelength spectrometer (SWS) and the long wavelength spectrometer (LWS), onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), are reported on. Broad O III 52 micrometer and 88 micrometer and O I 63 micrometer emission lines were detected. The far infrared O III lines fit the model of a spherical shell with central velocity redshifted by 770 +/- 40 km/s. A pronounced density contrast between the front and back of the shell was detected.
