GOES Satellite Data Maps Areas of Extreme Cold in Colorado

Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) enhanced infrared (IR) imagery depicted very cold temperatures over Colorado on the morning of 8 December 1978. The situation was unusual because skies were clear and the cold temperatures were not associated with high cloud tops. Instead, satellite data mapped large areas that were experiencing extremely cold surface temperatures. The GOES data were also examined using the Colorado State University interactive data processing system and it was found that the cold IR readings corresponded well with early morning low temperatures over the state. GOES data can be of use in monitoring surface temperatures and can, in certain situations, provide detailed spatial and temporal information over regions experiencing extreme temperatures.

DIADEM — A system for the interactive data acquisition and processing in an analytical laboratory

A conversational program for the acquisition of experimental data in a multi-user, multi-instrument computer system is described. It assists the researcher when recording on-line data. Due to the simple structure of the dialogue, no special knowledge of computer handling is required by the experimenter. Whereas the experimental methods are versatile, a uniform concept of the dialogue and the file structure is realized.

A New Measure for Charcterizing Data Traffic

It is generally recognized that data traffic has more diverse characteristics and transmission requirements than voice traffic. In particular, data traffic associated with many interactive data processing applications is often characterized to be extremely bursty, which lends support to the choice of Packet (or message) switching over circuit switching in data network design. We introduce in this paper a new measure called bursty factor for characterizing the burstiness of a data traffic source. Unlike the usual measures of peak-to-average ratio and duty cycle, the new measure introduced is independent of a specific network design and dependent only upon the traffic source characteristics and performance requirements. It can therefore be used to guide the direction of an initial network design.

The Applications of McIdas

The Man-computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) is a combination of hardware and software developed for processing image data from high volume data sources such as satellites. This paper describes the use of McIDAS. Key features of McIDAS are: color television display with capability for rapid (up to 30 frames/sec) sequencing of set of images, analog and digital data storage, interactive data processing and display control, data flow and processing controlled by computer software, data processing by accessing subsets of data. Uses of McIDAS include: measuring cloud velocities from geosynchronous satellites, calibrating cloud pictures for rain from radar, classifying land use from ERTS images, assembling weather data for public broadcast.

A minicomputer program for stimulus control and analog data for discrete trial paradigms in biological preparations: Classical conditioning

The application of computer technology to classical conditioning requires: control software that will repeatedly generate stimulus events, and analog-to-digital (A/D) recording capabilities for the resolution of analog data from phasic response systems (e.g., nictitating membrane extension, leg flexion). An earlier software package implemented on a 4K PDP-8/E (Millenson, Kehoe, Tait, & Gormezano, 1973) successfully met these requirements. However, the program’s capabilities were restricted to the presentation of only two unique stimuli with a maximum of 4 sec duration, and data reduction in only uniphasic response systems. The present program, employing the same hardware, relaxed these previous constraints and extended the range of data analysis through the revamping of the interactive assembler, operating system, and on-line data processing routines.
