Atomic clocks of the previous generation, with significantly lower precision, are currently being used in applications including satellite navigation systems, high - capacity wireless
networks (wi - fi), ensuring the security of bank communications, and also taking
measurements of the Earth's gravitational
field, yielding insight into its internal geological structure.
Also, it is expected that the technique will be applied not only to astronomy, but also to wide - ranging
fields such as spectroscopy, information
network systems, atmospheric environment
measurement, medical diagnostic technology, and fusion plasma diagnostics.
To conduct the research, a team of scientists led by John Fasullo of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, combined data from three sources: NASA's GRACE satellites, which make detailed
measurements of Earth's gravitational
field, enabling scientists to monitor changes in the mass of continents; the Argo global array of 3,000 free - drifting floats, which measure the temperature and salinity of the upper layers of the oceans; and satellite - based altimeters that are continuously calibrated against a
network of tide gauges.
In this study, we approach the issue of errors resulting from
measurements networks of varying densities from a purely
field measurement perspective.
Ongoing
measurement networks, satellites and
field campaigns continue to be critical to constrain and improve black carbon model development.
NRFC relies on multiple avenues to share information including: the fatherhood.gov website, media campaigns, social media, virtual trainings, outreach and presentations at events, written products to advance the
fields of responsible fatherhood research and practice, and a National Call Center for fathers and responsible fatherhood practitioners.10 In addition, the ACF's Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) is implementing several research and evaluation projects, including the Building Bridges and Bonds (B3), the Parents and Children Together (PaCT) Responsible Fatherhood Evaluation, the Fatherhood and Marriage Local Evaluation and Cross-Site (FaMLE Cross-Site) project, and the Ex-Prisoner Reentry Strategies Study, all of which partner with Responsible Fatherhood programs.11 OPRE also awards grants to fund research on Healthy Marriage / Responsible Fatherhood, and provides information on the curricula used by Healthy Marriage / Responsible Fatherhood grantees through its Strengthening Families Curriculum Guide.12 To promote rigorous evaluation, strengthen the
field of fatherhood research, and share information on effective fatherhood research and evaluation practices, OPRE funded the Fatherhood Research and Practice
Network (FRPN).13 FRPN provides grants to study responsible fatherhood programs, develops and shares
measurement instruments for use in fatherhood program evaluations, and provides training and technical assistance to practitioners and researchers through webinars, written documents, and its Researcher and Practitioner Forum.14
