Furthermore, by knowing the mass of a planet from radial velocity measurements and the radius of a planet based on how much starlight it blocked, it is a simple calculation to determine a planet's density, which can tell astronomers whether that planet is rocky or gaseous in nature, or whether it has a small core and a thick atmosphere, or whether it has a large core covered in deep oceans.

You've got the radiative physics, the measurements of ocean temperature and land temperature, the changes in ocean heat content (Hint — upwards, whereas if if was just a matter of circulation moving heat around you might expect something more simple) and of course observed predictions such as stratospheric cooling which you don't get when warming occurs from oceanic circulation.

objectives include: Year 6 objectives • solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to 3 decimal places where appropriate • use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to 3 decimal places • convert between miles and kilometres • recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa • recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes • calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles • calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm ³) and cubic metres (m ³), and extending to other units [for example, mm ³ and km ³] • express missing number problems algebraically • find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with 2 unknowns • enumerate possibilities of combinations of 2 variables • draw 2 - D shapes using given dimensions and angles • recognise, describe and build simple 3 - D shapes, including making nets • compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons • illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius • recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles • describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all 4 quadrants) • draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes • interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems • calculate and interpret the mean as an average • read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10,000,000 and determine the value of each digit • round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy and more!

«It's a pretty simple process — you start with the «From» unit of measurement, such as volume, and type in your base starting point.

These range from what are referred to as «stacks», which are hung at even intervals from floor to ceiling; «progressions», whose measurements follow simple numerical sequences; bull - nosed shaped protrusions from the wall; and box - like forms that are installed directly on the floor.

As others have noted, the IPCC Team has gone absolutely feral about Salby's research and the most recent paper by Dr Roy Spencer, at the University of Alabama (On the Misdiagnosis of Surface Temperature Feedbacks from Variations in Earth's Radiant Energy Balance), for one simple reason: both are based on empirical, undoctored satellite observations, which, depending on the measure required, now extend into the past by up to 32 years, i.e. long enough to begin evaluating real climate trends; whereas much of the Team's science in AR4 (2007) is based on primitive climate models generated from primitive and potentially unreliable land measurements and proxies, which have been «filtered» to achieve certain artificial realities (There are other more scathing descriptions of this process I won't use).

From Figure 2 the Central Pacific appears to vary at Midnight, 6 AM, noon, 6 PM as: -0.18 deg C, -0.38 deg C, 0.17 deg C, 0.30 deg C for an relative average of: -0.02 C. Taking the 8 am, noon and 8 pm measurement we have about: -0.05 C, 0.18 C, 0.08 C, for an average of about 0.07 C (assuming a simple 3 point average).

You'll note my original comment stated chemistry was largely phenomenology «other than quantum chemistry calculations» - maybe quantum chemistry is more prevalent now than it was back when I worked in the field, but I don't believe even now it's what spectroscopists do most of the time - they make measurements and parametrize simple models, they don't work all the time from basic physical principles.

We are still talking about calculations from very simple models here, not real measurements of actual photons in the actual atmosphere over actual time (always missing from the greenhouse effect calculations — time is a fundamental component of it).

Another derivation is by the astronomer Herschel (1850) who got the Gaussian from simple assumptions on measurement error.

My purpose here is to get a rough look at replicate tree samples and samples from the same site during the same time period in order to eventually estimate a simple measurement error and compare that error with the variations we see over the Yamal series in time.

Twohy et al. (1989) concluded from measurements off the coast of California and from simple radiative calculations that the observed levels of soot would not lead to a significant impact on the cloud albedo.

With a PC link, the data can be used for all sorts of projects, from simple averaging ones to looking at correlations between different measurements such as wind direction and temperature.

Now, Chris Clark and co-authors have fallen back on an old strategy, that of compiling a large sample of simple measurements in the hope that insight will emerge from the sheer weight of the evidence.

The definition of absorptivity is simple from a measurement perspective Absorptivity = Reflectivity — 1

Convert from imperial to metric measurements, because everything's simpler in metric form.

This is partly due to its popularity, but it's also a neat way of obtaining a single, simple measurement covering everything from the CPU to GPU rendering, storage speed, RAM bandwidth and much more.

The present study suggests that this acceptance may have been premature... Results from this study indicate that the use of the IT / SCV typology does not consistently work better than a simple measure of the breadth of violent acts used by respondents» husbands to predict negative outcomes of partner violence victimization... [and] both of these measurement strategies fail to examine the general effect of husbands» control... The preliminary empirical evidence reported here suggests that these victims of coercive control are an unrecognized category of victims... IPV researchers should focus on the dynamics of coercive control in intimate abuse whether or not this control occurs in the context of physical violence.
