«The laser scanning data collected from selected points does give significantly more precise
results than the satellite radar,» notes Christian Berger, co-author of the study and head of the research project on which Victor Odipo's doctoral thesis is based.

The bulk of the solar system's regular
satellites — those moons that stick close to their planets in roughly equatorial orbits — formed this way, rather
than taking shape simultaneously with the planets as a direct
result of planet formation, French astrophysicists have concluded.
The
result closely follows one from NASA's FERMI
satellite, which confirmed a hint that there is more antimatter
than expected coming from space.
But geodetic precession had already been confirmed to nearly this level of accuracy in measurements of laser light bouncing off mirrors on the Moon, and the frame - dragging
result is no more accurate
than an estimate extracted from measurements of the precession of the orbits of the Laser Geodynamics
Satellites (LAGEOS) launched in 1976 and 1992.
Subtracting known influences and comparing their
results with
satellite records of Earth's day length, they found that elevated temperatures in the pool during El Niño years correlated with days that were a few microseconds longer
than in other years.
More
than 10
satellites from four countries provided images and other data so the volunteer analysts could map and report the various geological hazards, including landslides, that
resulted from the earthquake.
Early

satellites are much more tranquil
than other systems of comparable luminosity and environment.
Rignot et al have updated
results, including those from the GRACE gravity measurement
satellite, to the end of 2010 and show that the downward trend in ice mass is continuing (stronger in Greenland
than in Antarctica).
As a
result, scientists typically ignore
satellite data for altitudes lower
than 15 kilometers, Ridley says.
«Together with other
results that suggest the Moon may have had more volatiles
than previously thought, this research is revolutionizing our thinking about the early history of the planets and
satellites,» said Jim Head, professor of geological sciences and a MESSENGER mission co-investigator.
The North Bay Fires affected air quality in the Central Valley and
satellite images show it traveled more
than 500 miles over the Pacific, reaching as far south as Mexico.19 In 2015, smoke from wildfires in central Canada
resulted in multiple days of exceedances of EPA standards in Maryland.20 In 2002, wildfire smoke from fires in Quebec impacted populations all along the East Coast of the United States, and a nearly 50 percent increase in hospital admissions for respiratory diagnoses for the elderly was associated with the smoke plume and concurrent PM2.5 in counties in states between New York and Washington, DC.21
The scientists who based their research on the information given by
satellites stated that the changes
result in the global scale warming, which is bout 30 percent larger
than their previous version of the dataset, as Independent noted.
The
results provide an intimate view of an area where Pine Island and Thwaites meet, and they paint a different picture
than what
satellites have shown us.
* Duration of a few weeks * An average dose more equivocal to a «loading» phase
than a «maintenance phase» * A larger dose for potential responders who lack natural, dietary creatine * A smaller dose for potential non-responders with a significant amount of existing dietary creatine intake * A training protocol that emphasizes all phases of muscular energetics to take advantage of the ATP - CP, glycolytic, and oxidative effects of creatine supplementation (HIIT is ideal for cardiovascular exercise when supplementing creatine, due to the repeated bouts of high intensity work) * A training protocol that incorporates negatives in order to stimulate
satellite cell fusion, as per Dr. Hatfield's theory of holistic training * A training protocol that emphasizes repeated bouts of work per the
results of creatine studies * A nutrition protocol tailored to reduce post-workout cortisol levels, which would involve a post-workout shake and possible glutamine supplementation * A nutrition protocol that takes advantage of carb - load (super compensation) near the end of the cycle
Re # 173 (Dan Allan): Large - scale reasons for the chaos include planetary tilt (= seasons), a high rate of rotation (= major Coriolis effect), much more solar heat applied at the equator
than at the poles, unevenly distributed land, air and water, a molten core
resulting in tectonic activity including continental drift and volcanos, the occasional hammer from space, a really large
satellite creating major tides in addition to minor ones from the sun, plus some stuff I'm probably forgetting.
The riddle: how does data showing the pause, krigged to
satellite data showing the pause,
result in warming rather
than pause?
«Regarded as one of the world's most productive marine environments, the Bering Sea is widely thought to be rapidly warming and losing sea ice...
Results show that, rather
than declining, mean annual sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has exhibited no significant change over the
satellite sea ice record (1979 — 2009).
Even the first couple of years of the
satellite data was problematic as they got
results that were some times 6 °C warmer
than ocean «ground - truthing»
results.
The
result is that their series matches
satellites, buoys only and Argo better
than Hadsst3 with no such weighting.
Area of Sea Covered By Slick Much Larger
Than Admitted SkyTruth has shared a
satellite image (the one above), taken on the 27th, showing that a slick
resulting from the Total rig's leak actually covered about 89 square kilometers of ocean.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater
than 95 percent probability) to be the
result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1 Earth - orbiting
satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale.
There has been no reduction in the surface area of grounded ice in the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets, although the mass appears to have declined recently, at least in Greenland, if we can believe the GRACE
results, which show more mass loss
than earlier
satellite altimetry measurements by Johannessen / Zwally (GRL) and Davis / Wingham (Antarctica), which showed net growth over the period 1993 - 2003.
These authors conclude «While
satellite MSU / AMSU observations generally support GCM
results with tropical deep ‐ layer tropospheric warming faster
than surface, it is evident that the AR4 GCMs exaggerate the increase in static stability between tropical middle and upper troposphere during the last three decades.»
Published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters on Thursday, the study uses
satellite observations to demonstrate that the decline in atmospheric chlorine that
resulted from the implementation of the Montreal Protocol, enacted in 1989, has led to «about 20 percent less ozone depletion during the Antarctic winter
than there was in 2005 — the first year that measurements of chlorine and ozone during the Antarctic winter were made by NASA's Aura
satellite.»
