Sentences with phrase «types of surface measurements»

It is versatile because an atomic force microscope can not only image in three - dimensional topography, but it also provides various types of surface measurements to the needs of scientists and engineers.

With surface measurements alone, it's hard to confirm the type - II Weyl fermions are there, says physicist Alexey Soluyanov of ETH Zurich.

Atmospheric measurements, from below ground It may seem incredible that atmospheric change can be measured below ground, but seismic sensors record all types of surface movement — even delineating day from night, or weekends from weekdays when placed near cities.

While satellites have provided consistently good data for years, the next frontier in sea level rise measurement is a new type of radar that can capture a more crisp, higher - resolution picture of sea surface heights.

Physicists at the University of Washington have conducted the most precise and controlled measurements yet of the interaction between the atoms and molecules that comprise air and the type of carbon surface used in battery electrodes and air filters — key information for improving those technologies.

In the case of ORAS4, this includes ocean temperature measurements from bathythermographs and the Argo buoys, and other types of data like sea surface height and surface temperatures.

These algorithms, developed for national and international operational and research satellite programs, convert sensor / instrument measurements into geophysical parameters such as vertical temperature / water vapor profiles, estimates of cloud amount, type and phase, and land / ocean parameters such as sea surface winds, net heat flux, and forest fire intensity / extent.

Pekka, the approximately uniform prior in Y is, according to F&G, a consequence of a) the choice of an OLS regression type, b) the fact that the combined errors in the measurements of forcings and net radiative balance were very much greater than errors in measurements of the surface temperature, and c) the assumption of normal distributions in the errors of the three observables.

My point is that in the absence of such a fine grid, one should place the measurement locations according to the well studied rules of polling: Decide on the number of types of environment: urban, desert, mountain, iceberg, tropics, etc and weight the results according to the percentage each of these types have on the surface of the globe.

The «scientific» circus of surface temperature measurement based on cool canvas buckets, hot wooden outhouses, ice - covered balloons and endless ad hoc «adjustments» is ripe for a Feynman - type send - up.

We also need in situ measurements in the GrIS's ablation zone that can distinguish the relative contributions of different impurity types (e.g., black carbon, dust, algae) to albedo reduction as well as models that accurately simulate the GrIS surface energy balance and mass balance.
