Sentences with phrase «resolve small features»

Webb's unprecedented improvements in sensitivity and resolution provides it with the ability to resolve small features on planets, and precisely analyze the light from objects in our own backyard.

Not exact matches

«The problem we're solving is that no matter what wavelength of light you use, the resolution of the image — the smallest feature you can resolve in a scene — depends upon this fundamental quantity called the diffraction limit, which scales linearly with the size of your aperture,» Veeraraghavan said.

The lens can resolve nanoscale features separated by distances smaller than the wavelength of light.

«4D - STEM experiments mean we no longer need to make a tradeoff between the smallest features we can resolve and the field - of - view that we are observing — we can analyze the atomic structure of the entire particle at once.»

At visible wavelengths, Hinode's imager can resolve features on the solar surface as small as 150 kilometers.

These actions produced models that account for the influence of smaller features than can be resolved in a global climate model and yielded composite climate scenarios suitable for analysis of specific local climate impacts.

At top, a simulated HDST views that resolves surface features as small as 300 km.

Unfortunately, many of these cloud properties must be estimated through parameterization, a technique used to represent complex small - scale systems, because climate model resolution is too coarse to resolve small - scale cloud features.

In this map, surface features as small as about 100 kilometers (60 miles) across are clearly resolved.

Hubble resolves Martian surface features with a level of detail only exceeded by planetary probes, such as impact craters and other features as small as 30 miles (50 kilometers) across.

JPL, NASA Larger image A ribbon - like wave structure with small convective features in Saturn's clouds that marks a westward jet is seen in this image, whose smallest resolved features are 40 miles (65 km) in diameter (more).

The length scales that are resolved in these models is typically on the order of 100s of kilometers (i.e. features that size or smaller are not directly resolved).

«They are relatively small - scale features, only a few hundreds of kilometres wide, and therefore can only start to be realistically resolved in models with a horizontal grid spacing of around 12 km,» said Martinez - Alvarado.

article by Heinz and me (reference available on request), once the minimal scale (smallest scale feature of vorticity) is properly resolved by a numerical model, the correct Navier - Stokes dissipation form (second order derivatives) can be used and produces the correct spatial spectrum, i.e. the numerical solutions converge.

And as I have stated very clearly, the smallest features shown in the plots are still well over 100 km in extent, i.e. no mesoscale feature (storms), fronts, hurricanes, etc. are resolved.

I have also studied, for example, the effects of snow grain shape on the reflection of solar radiation by snow, and the effects of subgrid - scale cloud features (clouds too small to be resolved by a climate model) on radiative transfer.
