Sentences with phrase «wooden bucket adjustment»

I'm not discussing the merits of the Folland canvas - wooden bucket adjustment pre-1941, but the schedule of the implementation of the engine inlet adjustment.

Not exact matches

Yet a presumed change - over from wooden to uninsulated canvas buckets was the basis for the adjustment that reduced the late 19th century cooling trend.

Note the significant warming adjustment in the earlier half of the record that «corrects» for a change - over from wooden buckets that were never known to have been used for temperature sampling in the first place.

A combined physical - empirical method (Folland and Parker, 1995) is used, as in the SAR, to estimate adjustments to ships SST data obtained up to 1941 to compensate for heat losses from uninsulated (mainly canvas) or partly - insulated (mainly wooden) buckets (see Box 2.2).

As a result, Folland et al introduced an abrupt adjustment of 0.3 deg C to all SST measurements prior to 1941 (with the amount of the adjustment attenuated in the 19th century because of a hypothesized use of wooden rather than canvas buckets.)

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.
