As he speculates in «Injecting Charter School Best Practices Into Traditional Public Schools: Evidence from Field Experiments,»» [A] leading theory posits that reading scores are influenced by the language spoken when students are outside of the classroom... [The researchers] argue that if students speak non-standard English at home and in their communities, increasing reading scores might be especially difficult.

We received a large proportion of small - scale, laboratory studies, and while we definitely see value in these types of studies (given increased experimental control), we think it is important to balance these types of studies with large - scale field experiments.

Observational data, evidence from field experiments, and quantitative modeling are the evidence base of the negative effects of extreme weather events on crop yield: early spring heat waves followed by normal frost events have been shown to decimate Midwest fruit crops; heat waves during flowering, pollination, and grain filling have been shown to significantly reduce corn and wheat yields; more variable and intense spring rainfall has delayed spring planting in some years and can be expected to increase erosion and runoff; and floods have led to crop losses.4, 5,6,7

Taking advantage of the expected deployment of a C - POL scanning precipitation radar and an ECOR surface flux tower at the Manus ARM site, we proposed to increase the number of sonde launches to 8 / day starting in about mid-October of the field experiment year, which is climatologically a period of generally suppressed conditions at Manus and just prior to the climatologically strongest MJO period.

The underlying theory ieThat a redistribution of mass in an adiabatic system becomes energetically favored in a gravitational field (eg velocity increases) is well described in the literature eg Landau — Lifshitz, The application of heuristic arguments to phenomenological equations (of which all fluid equations are) is a limiting constraint on ALL experiments in fluid mechanics ie Do not ask too much from the equations (Gallavotti)

The set - up of the numerical experiments suggests that the temporal resolution of the atmospheric forcing field is responsible for the significant increase in vertical velocities, in agreement with previous studies (Danioux et al., 2008; Komori et al., 2008).
