SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF NORTH ATLANTIC STORM TRAJECTORIES

SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF NORTH ATLANTIC STORM TRAJECTORIES.
Creator

Abstract/Description
Storms in the North Atlantic Ocean are observed on a continual basis yearly. Storm trajectories exhibit random behavior and are costly to society. Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contains every storm’s track from the year 1851 to 2022. Data of each storm’s track can aid in decision making regarding their behavior. In this article, data analysis is performed on historical storm tracks during the years 1966 to 2022, where access to satellite information is...
Show moreStorms in the North Atlantic Ocean are observed on a continual basis yearly. Storm trajectories exhibit random behavior and are costly to society. Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contains every storm’s track from the year 1851 to 2022. Data of each storm’s track can aid in decision making regarding their behavior. In this article, data analysis is performed on historical storm tracks during the years 1966 to 2022, where access to satellite information is available. Analysis on this data will be used to determine if the storms’ trajectory is statistically dependent on other storm’s trajectories at varying distances in space. The proposed model is a spatial statistical model that is fitted on an in-sample data set to determine the spatial relationship for storm trajectories at all pairwise directions or orientations. Afterwards, the model is assessed on an out-of-sample test data set for performance evaluation.

Abstract/Description
Recently, there has been an increase in marine mammal mortalities, most commonly Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, which is an alarming indication of the health status of the marine ecosystem. Studies have demonstrated that some free-ranging dolphins exhibit a suppressed immune system possibly because of exposure to contaminants or infectious microorganisms. However, this research has been limited due to a lack of commercially available marine-specific antibodies. Therefore,...
Show moreRecently, there has been an increase in marine mammal mortalities, most commonly Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, which is an alarming indication of the health status of the marine ecosystem. Studies have demonstrated that some free-ranging dolphins exhibit a suppressed immune system possibly because of exposure to contaminants or infectious microorganisms. However, this research has been limited due to a lack of commercially available marine-specific antibodies. Therefore, the first chapter of this thesis aims to identify cross-reactive terrestrial-specific antibodies that could be used to phenotype and compare the immune cell populations of dolphins under human care and free-ranging dolphins. The second chapter aims to utilize terrestrial-specific growth factors and dendritic cell (DC) surface markers to generate, characterize, and compare ex vivo DCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of dolphins under human care and free-ranging dolphins. In summary, I have identified differences within the PBMCs and ex vivo generated DCs of dolphins under human care and free-ranging dolphins that could potentially shed light on the impact of environmental contaminants and infectious microorganisms on immune cells which could lead to increased morbidity and mortality.
