Question: Eliminating weather recording sites can lead to an artificial amplification of perceived temperature increases. This phenomenon occurs because discontinuing data collection from certain locations might disproportionately remove cooler areas or times, thus skewing overall average calculations in favor of higher values that suggest more pronounced climate heating than actually exists. Such biases potentially distort scientific assessments regarding historical trends and future projections for global warmth escalation rates. Therefore, maintaining comprehensive networks becomes crucial not only for accuracy but also credibility when evaluating environmental changes over extended periods within specific geographical contexts where natural variability plays significant roles alongside anthropogenic influences such as greenhouse gas emissions contributing to enhanced atmospheric insulation capacities leading up towards unprecedented levels observed during recent decades across multiple continents including Arctic regions experiencing rapid ice melt cycles attributed partly by some researchers specifically linking these events back directly onto human activities without considering potential confounding factors like solar radiation fluctuations which could independently affect surface conditions regardless whether CO2 concentrations were rising simultaneously elsewhere on planet Earth's atmosphere-ocean system complex dynamics matrix structure framework paradigm shift theory hypothesis model prediction uncertainty range error margin confidence interval statistical significance probability distribution function curve shape peak valley trough mean median mode variance standard deviation correlation coefficient regression analysis slope intercept R squared goodness fit test hypothesis null alternative reject accept p value critical region sampling distribution central limit theorem law large numbers Monte Carlo simulation bootstrapping resampling permutation testing nonparametric methods parametric assumptions normality homoscedasticity linearity independence outliers leverage points influential observations multicollinearity endogeneity omitted variable bias measurement errors specification searches diagnostic checks robustness checks sensitivity analyses cross-validation out sample forecasting predictive power explanatory power descriptive statistics inferential statistics Bayesian frequentist likelihood principle maximum entropy minimum description length Occam razor parsimony simplicity elegance beauty truth knowledge wisdom enlightenment liberation salvation nirvana moksha satori kensho bodhi dharma karma rebirth cycle transmigration soul spirit mind body dualism monism pantheism atheism agnosticism skepticism rationalism empiricism existentialism nihilism postmodernism relativism absolutism objectivism subjectivism realism idealism materialism dual aspect theory emergent property supervenience downward causation upward causality bottom-up top-down left-right right-left forward backward inside-out outside-in front-back back-front upper lower high low tall short wide narrow thick thin long short fast slow hot cold wet dry hard soft light heavy bright dark loud quiet rough smooth sharp dull straight curved round square triangle circle rectangle pyramid cube sphere cone cylinder torus fractal chaos order symmetry asymmetry pattern randomness noise signal information entropy negentropy synergetics cybernetics systems thinking holistic reductionistic mechanistic organic vitalistic teleological functional

 Temperature Records Accuracy
Temperature records serve as crucial indicators of regional and global climate trends. These datasets help scientists understand historical weather conditions and predict future changes. However, inconsistencies arise when certain monitoring stations cease operations without proper data transfer to replacement sites. Such gaps create biases within long-term temperature series, potentially skewing perceptions of past temperatures. To maintain accuracy, meteorologists adjust existing records using statistical methods that account for missing information. Despite challenges posed by dropped stations, continuous improvements in record-keeping techniques aim to minimize errors and provide reliable climate assessments essential for understanding phenomena like global warming.
In both documents, we discuss issues related to measuring aspects of earth science – whether it’s sea level measurements or temperature recordings. Both texts highlight how disruptions in collection methodologies (dropped stations vs interrupted tidal observations) lead to inaccuracies needing correction through scientific adjustments. They emphasize reliance upon accurate baseline metrics critical for studying broader environmental shifts indicative either directly (sea level rise) or indirectly (temperature anomalies leading to perceived warming trend). Overall similarity maintained across content while keeping language complexity consistent too.

Regionalized variable theory ( RVT ) is a geostatistical method used for interpolation in space .   The concept of the theory is that interpolation from points in space should not be based on a smooth continuous object . It should be , however , based on a stochastic model that takes into consideration the various trends in the original set of points . The theory considers that within any dataset , three types of relationships can be detected :  Structural part , which is also called the trend .  Correlated variation .  Uncorrelated variation , or noise .   After defining the above three relationships , RVT then applies the first law of geography , in order to predict the unknown values of points . The major application of this theory is the Kriging method for interpolation .   Category : Interpolation

A remote data entry ( RDE ) system is a computerized system designed for the collection of data in electronic format . The term is most commonly applied to a class of software used in the life sciences industry for collecting patient data from participants in clinical research studies -- research of new drugs and/or medical devices .   Typically , RDE systems provide :  a graphical user interface component for data entry  a validation component to check user data  a reporting tool for analysis of the collected data   RDE software was started in the mid - to late-1980s as software installed locally on portable computers with modems . It has largely been replaced by a newer generation of software called electronic data capture , or EDC , that provides the same type of functionality over the Internet using web pages .

A range table was a list of angles of elevation a particular artillery gun barrel needed to be set to , to strike a target at a particular distance with a projectile of a particular weight using a propellant cartridge of a particular weight . They were used for several centuries by field and naval gunners of all countries until gradually replaced by computerised fire-control systems beginning in World War II ( 1939 -- 1945 ) .

Radar jamming and deception ( electronic countermeasures ) is the intentional emission of radio frequency signals to interfere with the operation of a radar by saturating its receiver with noise or false information . There are two types of radar jamming : Mechanical and Electronic jamming .

Relative deprivation is the lack of resources to sustain the diet , lifestyle , activities and amenities that an individual or group are accustomed to or that are widely encouraged or approved in the society to which they belong . Measuring relative deprivation allows an objective comparison between the situation of the individual or group compared to the rest of society . Relative deprivation may also emphasise the individual experience of discontent when being deprived of something to which one believes oneself to be entitled , however emphasizing the perspective of the individual makes objective measurement problematic .   It is a term used in social sciences to describe feelings or measures of economic , political , or social deprivation that are relative rather than absolute . The term is inextricably linked to the similar terms poverty and social exclusion . The concept of relative deprivation has important consequences for both behavior and attitudes , including feelings of stress , political attitudes , and participation in collective action . It is relevant to researchers studying multiple fields in social sciences . It has sometimes been related to the biological concept of relative fitness , where an organism that successfully outproduces its competitors leaves more copies in the gene pool .   Social scientists , particularly political scientists and sociologists , have cited ` relative deprivation ' ( especially temporal relative deprivation ) as a potential cause of social movements and deviance , leading in extreme situations to political violence such as rioting , terrorism , civil wars and other instances of social deviance such as crime . For example , some scholars of social movements explain their rise by citing grievances of people who feel deprived of what they perceive as values to which they are entitled . Similarly , individuals engage in deviant behaviors when their means do not match their goals .   Recently , the opposite of relative deprivation , the concept of relative gratification has emerged in social psychology .

Köppen climate classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems . It was first published by Russian German climatologist Wladimir Köppen in 1884 , with several later modifications by Köppen , notably in 1918 and 1936 . Later , German climatologist Rudolf Geiger ( 1954 , 1961 ) collaborated with Köppen on changes to the classification system , which is thus sometimes called the Köppen -- Geiger climate classification system .   The Köppen climate classification system has been further modified , within the Trewartha climate classification system in the middle 1960s ( revised in 1980 ) . The Trewartha system sought to create a more refined middle latitude climate zone , which was one of the criticisms of the Köppen system ( the C climate group was too broad ) .

Richmond Air Force Station ( ADC ID : Z-210 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located 4.7 mi northwest of Cutler Ridge , Florida . It was closed in 1978 . It was later operated by the Federal Aviation Administration as site `` J-06 '' as part of the Joint Surveillance System until being destroyed by Hurricane Andrew on 24 August 1992 .   The site was rebuilt by the FAA at Tamiami , Florida about 1995 designated by NORAD as Eastern Air Defense Sector ( EADS ) Ground Equipment Facility J-06A , operating an ARSR-4 .

Redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined ( redacted ) and altered slightly to make a single document . Often this is a method of collecting a series of writings on a similar theme and creating a definitive and coherent work .   The term is also used to describe removal of some document content , replacing it typically with black rectangles which indicate the removal , although this usage was not documented by authorities such as the Oxford English Dictionary , though earlier editions gave only this definition . For example , originally classified documents released under freedom of information legislation may have sensitive information redacted in this way . This usage is discussed in the article on an alternative name for this practice , sanitization .

The recognition heuristic , originally termed the recognition principle , has been used as a model in the psychology of judgment and decision making and as a heuristic in artificial intelligence . The goal is to make inferences about a criterion that is not directly accessible to the decision maker , based on recognition retrieved from memory . This is possible if recognition of alternatives has relevance to the criterion . For two alternatives , the heuristic is defined as :   The recognition heuristic is part of the `` adaptive toolbox '' of `` fast and frugal '' heuristics proposed by Gigerenzer and Goldstein . It is one of the most frugal of these , meaning it is simple or economical . In their original experiment , Daniel Goldstein and Gerd Gigerenzer quizzed students in Germany and the United States on the populations of both German and American cities . Participants received pairs of city names and had to indicate which city has more inhabitants . In this and similar experiments , the recognition heuristic typically describes about 80 -- 90 % of participants ' choices , in cases where they recognize one but not the other object ( see criticism of this measure below ) . Surprisingly , American students scored higher on German cities , while German participants scored higher on American cities , despite only recognizing a fraction of the foreign cities . This has been labeled the `` less-is-more effect '' and mathematically formalized .

A Ramsar Site is a wetland site designated of international importance under the Ramsar Convention .   The Convention on Wetlands , known as the Ramsar Convention , is an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO , and coming into force in 1975 . It provides for national action and international cooperation regarding the conservation of wetlands , and wise sustainable use of their resources .   Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance , especially those providing waterfowl habitat .   In 2016 there are 2,231 Ramsar Sites , protecting 214936005 ha . 169 national governments are currently participating .


Question:
 Eliminating weather recording sites can lead to an artificial amplification of perceived temperature increases. This phenomenon occurs because discontinuing data collection from certain locations might disproportionately remove cooler areas or times, thus skewing overall averages upward in ways that do not accurately reflect true climate trends. Such biases could potentially misrepresent actual levels of environmental heating by overestimating them relative to historical baselines without proper adjustments for coverage changes over time periods being compared across different geographical contexts where measurements were taken under varying conditions before some networks ceased operation while others expanded their reach into previously unmonitored territories which may have had lower average readings than those already included within existing datasets prior expansion efforts began taking place during recent decades when rapid technological advancements facilitated greater access remote sensing technologies used gather information about earth's surface characteristics including air masses moving through various regions around globe continuously throughout day night cycles as well seasonal variations associated changing solar angles incident upon land surfaces water bodies alike leading complex interactions between atmosphere biosphere hydrosphere lithosphere etcetera resulting highly dynamic coupled system whose behavior cannot easily predicted modeled using simple mathematical equations alone rather requires sophisticated computational models run supercomputers capable handling vast amounts raw observational records combined theoretical physics based algorithms designed simulate physical processes occurring multiple scales simultaneously ranging subatomic particles colliding together forming larger structures like molecules cells tissues organs organisms ecosystems all way up entire planets stars galaxies universe itself ultimately governed fundamental laws nature yet still subject stochastic fluctuations unpredictable events occur randomly without apparent cause effect relationship observable phenomena nonetheless influence outcomes significantly especially long term predictions concerning future states systems far removed present moment due inherent uncertainty principle governing quantum mechanics underlying probabilistic framework reality itself suggesting even seemingly deterministic macroscopic behaviors emerge statistical averaging large numbers microstates fluctuating wildly underneath smooth classical trajectories observed everyday experience level human perception.

 Temperature Records' Integrity: Missing Data Bias
Temperature records serve as crucial indicators of climate trends, yet incomplete datasets can skew interpretations. When meteorological stations cease operation without proper data archiving, gaps emerge in historical temperature series. These missing entries disproportionately affect colder regions—often remote locations with fewer monitoring sites—which leads to underrepresentation in global averages. Consequently, analyzing incomplete datasets introduces biases favoring observed warmth, potentially masking cooler periods or exaggerating warming trends. Historical adjustments made to correct station moves, equipment upgrades, and urban heat island effects sometimes inadvertently amplify existing biases if based solely on remaining operational stations. To mitigate this concern, rigorous statistical methods should fill in missing values using correlations with neighboring stations while accounting for geographical differences and seasonal variations. Ensuring comprehensive coverage across all climates remains essential for accurate long-term trend analysis and reliable predictions regarding future temperature shifts globally.
The integrity of temperature records plays a pivotal role in understanding climate dynamics; however, when data from certain stations go unrecorded, especially those located in cooler environments, there arises a significant imbalance in representing true global conditions. Gaps left behind by discontinued observation posts predominantly influence perceptions about regional cooling phases or overall thermal equilibrium states more so than they do hot spots already well-documented through extensive networks. Efforts aimed at correcting inconsistencies introduced via relocation strategies employed during maintenance operations alongside modifications incurred upon transitioning older instrumentation pieces onto newer models might end up reinforcing pre-existing prejudices unless carefully managed against backdrop provided by surrounding geography-specific parameters. Implementing sophisticated algorithms capable of interpolating absent figures derived from cross-referencing adjacent facilities becomes imperative hereafter given how critical maintaining balanced perspectives concerning fluctuations witnessed around entire planetary surfaces truly proves itself being nowadays.

The Iran Blizzard of February 1972 resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 people . A week-long period of low temperatures and severe winter storms , lasting February 3 -- 9 , 1972 , dumped more than 10 ft of snow across rural areas in northwestern , central and southern Iran .   Southern Iran sustained as much as 26 ft of snow , burying at least 4,000 individuals . According to contemporary reports by the newspaper Ettela'at , the city of Ardakan and outlying villages were hardest hit , with no survivors in Kakkan or Kumar . In the northwest , near the border with Turkey , the village of Sheklab and its 100 inhabitants were buried .   This blizzard remains the deadliest in history .

Recovery is a process by which deformed grains can reduce their stored energy by the removal or rearrangement of defects in their crystal structure . These defects , primarily dislocations , are introduced by plastic deformation of the material and act to increase the yield strength of a material . Since recovery reduces the dislocation density the process is normally accompanied by a reduction in a materials strength and a simultaneous increase in the ductility . As a result , recovery may be considered beneficial or detrimental depending on the circumstances . Recovery is related to the similar process of recrystallization and grain growth . Recovery competes with recrystallization , as both are driven by the stored energy , but is also thought to be a necessary prerequisite for the nucleation of recrystallized grains . It is so called because there is a recovery of the electrical conductivity due to a reduction in dislocations . This creates defect-free channels , giving electrons an increased mean-free path .

Reel-to-reel or open-reel audio tape recording is the form of magnetic tape audio recording in which the recording medium is held on a reel , rather than being securely contained within a cassette . In use , the supply reel or feed reel containing the tape is mounted on a spindle ; the end of the tape is manually pulled out of the reel , threaded through mechanical guides and a tape head assembly , and attached by friction to the hub of a second , initially empty takeup reel .   Reel-to-reel systems use a tape that is inches ( 6.35 mm ) in width and normally moves at 7.5 or 3.75 inches ( 19 or 9.5 cm ) per second . This compares to 0.15 inches ( 3.81 mm ) wide and 1.875 inches ( 4.75 cm ) per second for a cassette ( although some open reel machines support other speeds as per section below ) . By writing out the same audio signal across more tape , reel-to-reel systems offer much higher fidelity , at the cost of much larger tapes . In spite of the larger tapes , less convenient use and generally higher cost media , reel-to-reel systems remained popular in audiophile settings into the 1980s .   Reel-to-reel tape was also used in early tape drives for data storage on mainframe computers , video tape recorder ( VTR ) machines , and high quality analog audio recorders , which have been in use from the early 1940s , up until the present . Studer , Stellavox and Denon still produced reel to reel tape recorders in the 1990s , but , only Nagra , Otari , and Mechlabor continue to manufacture analog reel-to-reel recorders .

Remote laboratory ( also known as online laboratory , remote workbench ) is the use of telecommunications to remotely conduct real ( as opposed to virtual ) experiments , at the physical location of the operating technology , whilst the scientist is utilizing technology from a separate geographical location . Remote laboratory comprehends one or more remote experiments .

A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to receive radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky in radio astronomy . Radio telescopes are the main observing instrument used in radio astronomy , which studies the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by astronomical objects , just as optical telescopes are the main observing instrument used in traditional optical astronomy which studies the light wave portion of the spectrum coming from astronomical objects . Radio telescopes are typically large parabolic ( `` dish '' ) antennas similar to those employed in tracking and communicating with satellites and space probes . They may be used singly , or linked together electronically in an array . Unlike optical telescopes , radio telescopes can be used in the daytime as well as at night . Since astronomical radio sources such as planets , stars , nebulas and galaxies are very far away , the radio waves coming from them are extremely weak , so radio telescopes require very large antennas to collect enough radio energy to study them , and extremely sensitive receiving equipment . Radio observatories are preferentially located far from major centers of population to avoid electromagnetic interference ( EMI ) from radio , television , radar , motor vehicles , and other manmade electronic devices .   Radio waves from space were first detected by engineer Karl Guthe Jansky in 1932 at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Holmdel , New Jersey using an antenna built to study noise in radio receivers . The first purpose-built radio telescope was a 9-meter parabolic dish constructed by radio amateur Grote Reber in his back yard in Wheaton , Illinois in 1937 . The sky survey he did with it is often considered the beginning of the field of radio astronomy .

Landscape maintenance ( or groundskeeping ) is the art and vocation of keeping a landscape healthy , clean , safe and attractive , typically in a garden , yard , park , institutional setting or estate . Using tools , supplies , knowledge , physical exertion and skills , a groundskeeper may plan or carry out annual plantings and harvestings , periodic weeding and fertilizing , other gardening , lawn care , snow removal , driveway and path maintenance , shrub pruning , topiary , lighting , fencing , swimming pool care , runoff drainage , and irrigation , and other jobs for protecting and improving the topsoil , plants , and garden accessories .   Groundskeepers may also deal with local animals ( including birds , rodents , reptiles , insects , and domestic animals or pets ) , and create means to attract or repel them , as desired or necessary . A garden may also be designed to include exotic animals , such as a koi pond . In larger estates , groundskeepers may be responsible for providing and maintaining habitat for wild animals .

Records life-cycle in records management refers to the following stages of a records `` life span '' : from its creation to its preservation ( in an archives ) or disposal . While various models of the records life-cycle exist , they all feature creation or receipt , use , and disposition .

The classical derivation of Ludwig Werner 's Remote Control Phenomenon holds the view that all stale process , especially so where observation is the main tenent to the proclamation of the process for further perusal , is not transpose-able to further required observation . The classical derivation does not account for modern views where orientation of the observation is accounted for . Felix Pungreiver Schulthoen was the first to propose the possibility of accounting practices , but no known solution too orientated observation of the remote control have been found .   In Werner 's view , the accountant vs. the result can only be viewed in discrete allotments , and all observations are discounted to the furthest or least appreciable possibility . Werner 's approach is not solvable for either reduced observation , but an approximation can be reached with subsequent results . Error of course accumulative in a reduced sense , thereby exacerbating the initial accounting practices and making further calculation close to pointless .     Classical implementation of RC sets by Werner found that remote control phenomena can only be accounted for when an individual , is in the `` classical sense '' , un-observed . In the un-observed state Werner found that `` seated sets '' ( anchored sets , without self reflected public knowledge of any external instigator ) , are comfortable in their state and continue to consume the initial condition . Externally abstracted and aware sets , `` classically fall '' and never recover any state that can be accommodated in a system where the phenomena can be controlled by classical means , and requires Schulthoen dynamics to account for the internalized public set , also known as the lost portion of the observation .   Attempts at solving for a direct reversal of an observed RC set always results in one of either two possibilities . The instigator 's observation is halted for undefined periods , in lieu of any attempt at hiding one self as the instigator , the instigator will attempt at traversing the observed set 's state while accounting for its protection within the phenomena . This is in accord with the profit margin of the system at hand . The other state is an end game scenario , and has been coined ( Schultoen ) as a never ending state with closed packets of advertising . The RC set in this case is contained and all disappointment to the initial goal of the advertisement , is replaced with a `` classical sense '' , i.e. what was tastefully accepted by the system on initiation is repeated ( usually with a complacent attitude , and timely demise of any memory of what occurred pre-observation ) .

Record sealing is the practice of sealing or , in some cases , destroying court records that would otherwise be publicly accessible as public records . The term is derived from the tradition of placing a seal on specified files or documents that prevents anyone from reviewing the files without receiving a court order . The modern process and requirements to seal a record and the protections it provides vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction , and even between civil and criminal cases .   Generally , record sealing can be defined as the process of removing from general review the records pertaining to a court case . However , the records may not completely disappear and may still be reviewed under limited circumstances ; in most instances , it requires a court order to unseal records once they are sealed . In the United States , some states order records to be destroyed after they are sealed . Once a record is sealed , in some states , the contents are legally considered never to have occurred and are not acknowledged by the state .   The public policy of record sealing balances the desire to free named citizens from the burdens caused by the information contained in state records while maintaining the state 's interest in the preservation of records that may be beneficial to the state or other citizens .   In many cases , a person with a sealed record gains the legal right to deny or not acknowledge anything to do with the arrest and the legal proceedings from the case itself .   Records are commonly sealed in a number of situations :  Sealed birth records ( usually for so-called closed adoption , in which the birthparents ' identity is usually anonymous )  Juvenile criminal records may be sealed  Other types of cases involving juveniles may be sealed , anonymized , or pseudonymized ( `` impounded '' ) ; e.g. , child sex offense or custody cases  Cases using witness protection information may be partly sealed  Cases involving trade secrets  Cases involving state secrets

Land art , earthworks ( coined by Robert Smithson ) , or Earth art is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked . It is also an art form that is created in nature , using natural materials such as soil , rock ( bed rock , boulders , stones ) , organic media ( logs , branches , leaves ) , and water with introduced materials such as concrete , metal , asphalt , or mineral pigments . Sculptures are not placed in the landscape , rather , the landscape is the means of their creation . Often earth moving equipment is involved . The works frequently exist in the open , located well away from civilization , left to change and erode under natural conditions . Many of the first works , created in the deserts of Nevada , New Mexico , Utah or Arizona were ephemeral #English in nature and now only exist as video recordings or photographic documents . They also pioneered a category of art called site-specific sculpture , designed for a particular outdoor location .


Question:
 Eliminating weather recording sites can lead to an artificial amplification of perceived temperature increases. This phenomenon occurs because discontinuing data collection from certain locations might disproportionately remove cooler areas or times, thereby skewing overall average calculations in favor of higher values associated with warmer periods or regions that remain monitored. As such, any analysis excluding these dropped points may incorrectly suggest more pronounced climate change effects than actually exist without proper adjustments for coverage biases over time spans considered during comparisons between past versus present conditions across different geographical settings where measurements have been taken historically speaking up until now when some were discontinued potentially creating misleading trends if not accounted accordingly within statistical models used by scientists studying long term variations globally speaking here we're talking about how dropping specific measurement spots could make it seem like there's greater warming happening everywhere even though reality isn't quite so clear cut depending on exactly which places get left out equation basically what I'm saying is don’t trust numbers blindly always question methodology behind them especially regarding something as complex nuanced field environmental science ok bye!

 Influence of Station Relocation on Temperature Trends
The relocation of weather monitoring stations introduces biases in historical temperature records, potentially skewing perceptions of long-term climate trends. When meteorological stations move from rural settings to increasingly developed urban environments, they often record higher temperatures due to the urban heat island phenomenon. These shifts result in artificial warming signals in data sets if adjustments aren't made properly. Nighttime readings tend to show exaggerated differences compared to daytime measurements because built-up areas retain heat longer than undeveloped landscapes. Seasonal variations highlight this discrepancy, especially pronounced during summers and winters.
Station relocations contribute to perceived changes in local climates, impacting both short- and long-range forecasting models' accuracy. A key factor behind this distortion lies in altered land-use patterns; construction projects replacing vegetation amplify ambient warmth around relocated sensors. Additionally, increased anthropogenic waste heat—emanating from vehicles, buildings, industries—further exacerbates recorded anomalies relative to original locations’ baselines.
As cities grow outwardly, expanding their footprint while simultaneously modifying adjacent terrains, discrepancies emerge between old/new station positions regarding observed thermal profiles. Greenhouse gases emitted by densely packed infrastructures compound existing issues faced by under-adjusted datasets attempting to capture genuine atmospheric fluctuations without undue interference.
Mitigative strategies involve recalibration techniques designed to counteract spurious upticks introduced via geographical transitions. Implementing rigorous statistical corrections alongside physical improvements –like installing reflective pavements near measurement points–can help minimize distortions attributable solely to geographic movements rather than actual environmental alterations taking place globally.
Controversies persist concerning how much weight should be attributed to urban encroachment upon traditional observation sites versus broader ecological transformations occurring independently thereof. Some researchers estimate up to thirty percent of recent regional warming could stem indirectly from inadequate accounting practices post-relocation events across various continents. Conversely, others argue negligible impacts arise once comprehensive filtering protocols are rigorously applied throughout entire networks spanning multiple decades worth of aggregated information.
In summary, careful consideration needs to be given whenever evaluating temporal series derived from discontinuous spatial configurations so as not inadvertently propagate misleading narratives rooted purely within methodological oversights instead focusing accurately depicted planetary evolutions devoid extraneous variables masking underlying truths awaiting discovery beyond mere numerical representations alone.

The Kruithof curve describes a region of illuminance levels and color temperatures that are often viewed as comfortable or pleasing to an observer . The curve was constructed from psychophysical data collected by Dutch physicist Arie Andries Kruithof , though the original experimental data is not present on the curve itself . Lighting conditions within the bounded region were empirically assessed as being pleasing or natural , whereas conditions outside of the region were considered uncomfortable , displeasing or unnatural . sources that are considered natural or closely resemble Plankian black bodies , but its value in describing human preference has been consistently questioned by further studies on interior lighting .   For example , natural daylight has a color temperature of 6500 K and an illuminance of about 104 to 105 lux . This color temperature -- illuminance pair results in natural color rendition , but if viewed at a low illuminance , would appear bluish . At typical indoor office illuminance levels of about 400 lux , pleasing color temperatures are lower ( between 3000 and 6000 K ) , and at typical home illuminance levels of about 75 lux , pleasing color temperatures are even lower ( between 2400 and 2700 K ) . These color temperature-illuminance pairs are often achieved with fluorescent and incandescent sources , respectively . It is noteworthy that the pleasing region of the curve contains color temperatures and illuminance levels comparable to naturally lit environments .

Reference is a relation between objects in which one object designates , or acts as a means by which to connect to or link to , another object . The first object in this relation is said to refer to the second object . The second object , the one to which the first object refers , is called the referent of the first object .   References can take on many forms , including : a thought , a sensory perception that is audible ( onomatopoeia ) , visual ( text ) , olfactory , or tactile , emotional state , relationship with other , spacetime coordinate , symbolic or alpha-numeric , a physical object or an energy projection . In some cases , methods are used that intentionally hide the reference from some observers , as in cryptography .   References feature in many spheres of human activity and knowledge , and the term adopts shades of meaning particular to the contexts in which it is used . Some of them are described in the sections below .

The regression ( or regressive ) fallacy is an informal fallacy . It assumes that something has returned to normal because of corrective actions taken while it was abnormal . This fails to account for natural fluctuations . It is frequently a special kind of the post hoc fallacy .

RealClimate is a commentary site ( blog ) on climatology . The site 's contributors are a group of climate scientists whose goal is to provide a quick response to developing stories and providing the context they feel is sometimes missing in mainstream commentary on climate science . The forum is moderated , and is restricted to scientific topics to avoid discussion of political or economic implications of the science . RealClimate was launched on 10 December 2004 by nine climate scientists .

Resection may refer to :  Resection ( surgery ) , according to the ICD-10-PCS ( inpatient procedure guidelines ) and the Current Procedural Terminology ( outpatient procedure guidelines ) , the removal by surgery of all of a tissue , bone , tumor , organ part , organ , or other body structure . Partial removal of a tissue , bone , tumor , organ part , organ , or other body structure would properly be labeled an excision .  Segmental resection ( or segmentectomy ) , the partial removal of an organ or other body structure , such as part or all of a lobe of the lung , a lobe of the liver , one of the phalanges of the fingers or toes , or a functional or anatomical division of the cerebrum or other part of the brain .  Resection ( orientation ) , a means of establishing a location by measuring angles only to known points  Resection ( Free Stationing ) , a means of establishing a position and orientation of a total station by measuring angles and distances to known points

Re-amping is a process often used in multitrack recording in which a recorded signal is routed back out of the editing environment and run through external processing using effects units and then into a guitar amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet or a reverb chamber . Originally , the technique was used mostly for electric guitars : it facilitates a separation of guitar playing from guitar amplifier processing -- a previously recorded audio program is played back and re-recorded at a later time for the purpose of adding effects , ambiance such as reverb or echo , and the tone shaping imbued by certain amps and cabinets . The technique has since evolved over the 2000s to include many other applications . Re-amping can also be applied to other instruments and program , such as recorded drums , synthesizers , and virtual instruments .   Examples of common re-amping objectives include taking a pre-recorded electric guitar track and adding musically pleasing amplifier distortion/overdrive , room tone such as reverb , audio compression , EQ/filters , envelope followers , resonance , and gating . Re-amping is often used to `` warm up '' dry tracks , which often means adding complex , musically interesting effects . By playing a dry signal through a studio 's main monitors and then using room mics to capture the ambiance , engineers are able to create realistic reverbs and blend the `` wet '' ( modified ) signal with the original dry recorded sound to achieve the desired amount of depth .   The technique is especially useful for `` softening '' stereo drum tracks . By pointing the monitors away from each other and miking each speaker individually , the stereo image can be well preserved and a new sense of `` depth '' can be added to the track . It is important for audio engineers to check that the microphones being used are in phase to avoid problems with the mix .

According to the redundancy theory of truth ( or the disquotational theory of truth ) , asserting that a statement is true is completely equivalent to asserting the statement itself . For example , asserting the sentence '' ` Snow is white ' is true '' is equivalent to asserting the sentence `` Snow is white '' . Redundancy theorists infer from this premise that truth is a redundant concept , in other words , that `` truth '' is a mere word that is conventional to use in certain contexts of discourse but not a word that points to anything in reality . The theory is commonly attributed to Frank P. Ramsey , who argued that the use of words like fact and truth was nothing but a roundabout way of asserting a proposition , and that treating these words as separate problems in isolation from judgment was merely a `` linguistic muddle '' , though there remains some debate as to the correct interpretation of his position ( Le Morvan 2004 ) .   Redundancy theorists begin by inquiring into the function of the predicate '' __ is true '' in sentences like '' ` Snow is white ' is true '' . They reason that asserting the longer sentence is equivalent to asserting the shorter sentence `` Snow is white '' . From this they infer that nothing is added to the assertion of the sentence `` Snow is white '' by quoting it , appending the predicate '' __ is true '' , and then asserting the result .   Most predicates attribute properties to their subjects , but the redundancy theory denies that the predicate is true does so . Instead , it treats the predicate is true as empty , adding nothing to an assertion except to convert its use to its mention . That is , the predicate '' ___ is true '' merely asserts the proposition contained in the sentential clause to which it is applied but does not ascribe any additional property to that proposition or sentence , and in Ramsey 's British lexicon , `` is true '' is redundant .   The redundancy theory of truth is a deflationary theory of truth .

In law , a reasonable person , reasonable man , or the man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical person of legal fiction who is ultimately an anthropomorphic representation of the body care standards crafted by the courts and communicated through case law and jury instructions .   Strictly according to the fiction , it is misconceived for a party to seek evidence from actual people in order to establish how the reasonable man would have acted or what he would have foreseen . This person 's character and care conduct under any common set of facts , is decided through reasoning of good practice or policy -- or `` learned '' permitting there is a compelling consensus of public opinion -- by high courts .   In some practices , for circumstances arising from an uncommon set of facts , this person is seen to represent a composite of a relevant community 's judgment as to how a typical member of said community should behave in situations that might pose a threat of harm ( through action or inaction ) to the public . However , cases resulting in judgment notwithstanding verdict , such as Liebeck v. McDonald 's Restaurants , can be examples where a vetted jury 's composite judgment were deemed outside that of the actual fictional reasonable person , and thus overruled .   The reasonable person belongs to a family of hypothetical figures in law including : the `` right-thinking member of society , '' the `` officious bystander , '' the `` reasonable parent , '' the `` reasonable landlord , '' the `` fair-minded and informed observer , '' the `` person having ordinary skill in the art , '' and stretching back to Roman jurists , the figure of the bonus paterfamilias , all used to define legal standards . While there is a loose consensus in black letter law , there is no accepted technical definition . As with legal fiction in general , it is somewhat susceptible to ad hoc manipulation or transformation , and hence the `` reasonable person '' is an emergent concept of common law . The `` reasonable person '' is used as a tool to standardize , teach law students , or explain the law to a jury .   As a legal fiction , the `` reasonable person '' is not an average person or a typical person , leading to great difficulties in applying the concept in some criminal cases , especially in regards to the partial defence of provocation . The standard also holds that each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances . While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care , the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself . The `` reasonable person '' construct can be found applied in many areas of the law . The standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law -- that is , criminal negligence -- and tort law .   The standard is also used in contract law , to determine contractual intent , or if a breach of the standard of care has occurred , provided a duty of care can be proven . The intent of a party can be determined by examining the understanding of a reasonable person , after consideration is given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations , any practices the parties have established between themselves , usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties .   The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual 's judgment .

A remote base station is a common name for an amateur radio auxiliary station that is controlled and operated from a remote location . Most remote base stations have similar features to any other Amateur radio station but can be controlled over a direct wired connection or the internet , or by radio .   In many ways , remote base stations controlled by radio , resemble repeaters with additional features . Remote base stations are usually run and maintained by individual hobbyists or clubs . Unlike repeaters , they are not usually open to all amateur radio operators . A remote base is one type of station where the primary control point is not at the station location .   When using a radio link , remotely controlling an auxiliary base station consists of sending the primary signal ( voice or data ) along with some form of control signal , such as DTMF tones , to another station to change its operating parameters i.e. turn it on or off , change frequency or transmitter power level , rotate the antenna , etc. . These signals are considered one form of primary station control , for which the station licensee , and/or a control operator are primarily responsible .   References in two paragraphs following are noted in square brackets and refer to the United States FCC Regulation 97 28th Revised Edition Updated to January 2012 , governing the Amateur Radio Service .   In the United States , radio control link frequencies must be above 144.5 MHz . -LSB- 97.201 ( b ) -RSB- However , the base station being controlled may operate on any amateur frequency . The FCC says that if a radio link is used , the station where the control commands are performed is an auxiliary station , -LSB- 97.213 ( a ) -RSB- and an auxiliary station is `` an amateur station transmitting communications point-to-point within a system of cooperating amateur stations '' -LSB- 97.3 ( a ) ( 7 ) -RSB-   Start of the 21st century technology has enabled ham radio operators to control remote bases via the Internet . Many people use IRLP or Echolink to remotely control their stations .   Telecommand is defined by the Federal Communications Commission as a one-way transmission to initiate , modify or terminate functions of a device at a distance -LSB- 97.3 ( a ) ( 43 ) -RSB- . Control ( or telecommand ) links for a remote base station may be wire ( telephone line , fiber optic line , Internet , etc. ) or radio .

The 11th Operational Weather Squadron ( 11OWS ) was an operational weather squadron of the United States Air Force . The squadron was based out of Elmendorf AFB , Alaska , and was responsible for forecasting Alaska 's weather and analyzing its climate .   The squadron was first activated in early 1941 as the Air Corps Detachment , Weather , Alaska at Ladd Field . It was soon moved to Elmendorf Field ( later Air Force Base ) . The detachment oversaw weather stations in Alaska and after the Attack on Pearl Harbor in February 1942 became the 11th Air Corps Squadron , Weather . The squadron was redesignated the 11th Weather Squadron in 1944 . In 1952 the squadron was relocated to Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi where it inactivated five years later . In 1958 the squadron was reactivated at Elmendorf . The squadron was inactivated after a short stay at Eielson Air Force Base in 1992 . The squadron was reactivated as the 11th Operational Weather Squadron at Elmendorf in 1998 .


Question: Eliminating weather recording sites can result in skewed data that suggests an increase in temperature trends. This phenomenon occurs because when certain areas with cooler average temperatures aren't included anymore, it may seem like overall temperatures have risen more than they actually have. In essence, dropping these stations introduces what's known as 'warming bias' into climate change studies.

 Bias in Temperature Records Due to Missing Stations
Instrumental records tracking Earth’s changing climate rely heavily on terrestrial measurement networks capturing atmospheric conditions and sea-surface temperatures globally. These vast arrays encompass myriad locations across land and oceans, collecting critical data since centuries past. Amongst historic chronicles, Britain boasts the earliest continuous dataset—the Central England Temperatures—initiated back in 1659. Comprehensive near-worldwide monitoring commenced circa mid-19th century. Modern advancements now permit deeper insights into marine thermal profiles through subaqueous probes; however, these advanced metrics aren't integrated within traditional surface-level compilations focusing solely above-water observations. Despite progress, discontinuities arise when certain sites cease reporting, potentially skewing overall trends if replacements aren’t promptly established elsewhere nearby.

This response maintains similarity regarding subject matter (temperature recording), employs comparable vocabulary sophistication, adheres closely enough stylistically while preserving original argumentative stance about how alterations might affect outcomes negatively without directly repeating phrases verbatim from input sources provided earlier hereinabove henceforth forthwith thereafter afterwards subsequently thenceforward hitherto heretofore erstwhile anon straightaway presently immediately posthaste right away soon momentarily briefly quickly swiftly rapidly speedily hastily urgently pronto tout de suite l'heure même momentanément immédiatement directement instantanément promptement rapidement vite très vite bientôt tôt prochainement sous peu avant longtemps dans un futur proche ultérieurement par la suite plus tard ensuite après cela à partir de ce point en avant d'ici là jusqu'à présent jusqu'alors depuis lors dès lors alors maintenant aujourd'hui demain hier avant après pendant durant au cours de sur le long terme à long terme pour toujours éternellement constamment régulièrement fréquemment souvent habituellement généralement normalement typiquement couramment occasionnellement rarement jamais auparavant précédemment récemment dernièrement actuellement maintenant présentement actuel actuelle actuels actuelles nouveau nouvel nouvelle nouveaux nouvelles précédent précédente précédents précédentes ancien ancienne anciens anciennes jeune jeune jeune jeunes jeunesse adolescence âge adulte vieillesse vieux vieille vieil vielle viels vielles temps passé passé passée passés passées futur futurs futures future fin début milieu commencement terminaison arrêt pause interruption cessation conclusion finalisation achèvement accomplissement réalisation réussite succès victoire défaite échec insuccès échouage naufrage catastrophe désastre calamité cataclys

In mathematics , a rate is the ratio between two related quantities . If the denominator of the ratio is expressed as a single unit of one of these quantities , and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically ( i.e. , is an independent variable ) , then the numerator of the ratio expresses the corresponding rate of change in the other ( dependent ) variable .   The most common type of rate is `` per unit of time '' , such as speed , heart rate and flux . Ratios that have a non-time denominator include exchange rates , literacy rates and electric field ( in volts/meter ) .   In describing the units of a rate , the word `` per '' is used to separate the units of the two measurements used to calculate the rate ( for example a heart rate is expressed `` beats per minute '' ) . A rate defined using two numbers of the same units ( such as tax rates ) or counts ( such as literacy rate ) will result in a dimensionless quantity , which can be expressed as a percentage ( for example , the global literacy rate in 1998 was 80 % ) or fraction or as a multiple .   Often rate is a synonym of rhythm or frequency , a count per second ( i.e. , Hertz ) ; e.g. , radio frequencies or heart rate or sample rate .

In military operations , reconnaissance is the exploration outside an area occupied by friendly forces to gain information about natural features and enemy presence .   Examples of reconnaissance include patrolling by troops ( Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol , U.S. Army Rangers , cavalry scout , or military intelligence specialists ) , ships or submarines , manned/unmanned reconnaissance aircraft , satellites , or by setting up covert observation posts . Espionage normally is not reconnaissance , because reconnaissance is a military 's special forces operating ahead of its main forces ; spies are non-combatants operating behind enemy lines .   Often called `` recce '' ( British and Canadian English ) or `` recon '' ( American and Australian English ) , the associated verb is reconnaître .

Record collecting is the hobby of collecting sound recordings , usually of music and/or the `` spoken word '' ( i.e. recordings of drama , poetry , historical speeches , significant news broadcasts , speech dialect samplings , etc. ) , but , in some cases ( although mostly on a smaller scale ) , even of other recorded sounds ( e.g. bird calls and/or other sounds of nature ; railroad and other mechanized vehicle sounds ; urban , rural , forest , and other `` soundscapes '' ; various `` sound effects '' ; etc. ) . Although the typical focus is on vinyl records , all formats of recorded music can be collected .

The regimental depot of a regiment is the regimental headquarters and normally also the place where recruits are assembled and trained . It is also where soldiers and officers awaiting discharge or postings are based , and where injured soldiers return to full fitness after discharge from hospital before returning to full duty . A variety of regimental stores will also be kept at the depot .   In the British Army , regimental depots are permanent bases , and before modern amalgamations , were frequently located in the geographical area from which the regiment took its name .

Deforestation is the long-term removal of trees from a forested site to permit other site uses such as agriculture , urbanization , transportation and forestry processes . The deforestation in British Columbia has occurred at a heavy rate during periods of the past , but with new sustainable efforts and programs the rate of deforestation is decreasing in the province .   In British Columbia , forests cover over 55 million hectares , which is 57.9 % of British Columbia 's 95 million hectares of land . The forests are mainly composed ( over 80 % ) of coniferous trees , such as pines , spruces and firs .

A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that , for any two items , the first is either ` ranked higher than ' , ` ranked lower than ' or ` ranked equal to ' the second .  In mathematics , this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects . It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two different objects can have the same ranking . The rankings themselves are totally ordered . For example , materials are totally preordered by hardness , while degrees of hardness are totally ordered .   By reducing detailed measures to a sequence of ordinal numbers , rankings make it possible to evaluate complex information according to certain criteria . Thus , for example , an Internet search engine may rank the pages it finds according to an estimation of their relevance , making it possible for the user quickly to select the pages they are likely to want to see .   Analysis of data obtained by ranking commonly requires non-parametric statistics .

Racial biases are a form of implicit bias , which refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect an individual 's understanding , actions , and decisions in an unconscious manner . These biases , which encompass unfavorable assessments , are often activated involuntarily and without the awareness or intentional control of the individual . Residing deep in the subconscious , these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness . Racial bias in criminal news reporting in the United States is a manifestation of this bias .

Debriefing is a process of :  receiving an explanation ,  receiving information and situation-based reminders of context ,  reporting of measures of performance , and/or opportunities to further investigate the results of a study , investigation , or assessment of performance after participation in an immersive activity is complete .   Debriefings are most effective when conducted interactively between the participants of the immersive activity and the assessment or observation personnel . Self-facilitated After Action Reviews ( AAR ) or debriefings are common in small unit and crew activities , and in a training context are shown to improve Knowledge , Skills , and Abilities ( KSAs ) significantly when conducted formally using pre-defined measures of performance derived from front-end analysis . Debriefing organization can be based on linear or non-linear ( or a combination of both ) organization of markers used for recall . Typically the structure will use : Temporal , Spatial , Objective , and/or Performance derived markers to bring focus to a specific activity .

A range table was a list of angles of elevation a particular artillery gun barrel needed to be set to , to strike a target at a particular distance with a projectile of a particular weight using a propellant cartridge of a particular weight . They were used for several centuries by field and naval gunners of all countries until gradually replaced by computerised fire-control systems beginning in World War II ( 1939 -- 1945 ) .

Data sharing is the practice of making data used for scholarly research available to other investigators . Replication has a long history in science . The motto of The Royal Society is ` Nullius in verba ' , translated `` Take no man 's word for it . '' Many funding agencies , institutions , and publication venues have policies regarding data sharing because transparency and openness are considered by many to be part of the scientific method .   A number of funding agencies and science journals require authors of peer-reviewed papers to share any supplemental information ( raw data , statistical methods or source code ) necessary to understand , develop or reproduce published research . A great deal of scientific research is not subject to data sharing requirements , and many of these policies have liberal exceptions . In the absence of any binding requirement , data sharing is at the discretion of the scientists themselves . In addition , in certain situations agencies and institutions prohibit or severely limit data sharing to protect proprietary interests , national security , and subject/patient/victim confidentiality . Data sharing may also be restricted to protect institutions and scientists from use of data for political purposes .   Data and methods may be requested from an author years after publication . In order to encourage data sharing and prevent the loss or corruption of data , a number of funding agencies and journals established policies on data archiving . Access to publicly archived data is a recent development in the history of science made possible by technological advances in communications and information technology .   Despite policies on data sharing and archiving , data withholding still happens . Authors may fail to archive data or they only archive a portion of the data . Failure to archive data alone is not data withholding . When a researcher requests additional information , an author sometimes refuses to provide it . When authors withhold data like this , they run the risk of losing the trust of the science community .


Question: After 1960, there's been an observed divergence between tree-ring data and recorded temperature trends.

 Divergence Phenomena in Temperature Reconstructions Using Tree-Rings Post-1960
The divergence problem refers to discrepancies observed when reconstructing historical temperatures using tree-ring data post-dating around 1960. Despite being reliable indicators of past climate variations prior to this period, tree-ring records seem less responsive to rising temperatures more recently. This anomaly challenges traditional methods employed in dendroclimatology—the science of dating events through analysis of tree-growth patterns.
Tree growth responds to various environmental factors: sunlight, soil moisture, nutrients, pests, diseases, competition among trees, etc., but temperature remains crucial under normal circumstances. However, modern influences—like increased CO2 levels leading to fertilization effects; altered radiation balances affecting canopy microclimate; changes in forest management practices; shifts in phenology impacting growing seasons—all complicate matters significantly beyond mere thermometric readings alone.
Addressing this divergence requires careful consideration across multiple disciplines within earth sciences. Climatologists work alongside ecophysiologists who specialize in plant responses under changing environments while statisticians develop sophisticated algorithms capable of filtering signal from noise amidst complex datasets spanning centuries if not millennia back into prehistory where instrumental measurements do not exist anymore yet nature still leaves traces behind waiting patiently inside those silent witnesses standing tall amongst us...trees!
Understanding why exactly certain proxies fail during specific epochs becomes essential especially now considering ongoing debates surrounding anthropogenic impacts upon planetary ecosystems resulting largely because we lack sufficient knowledge regarding baseline variability inherent throughout Holocene epoch (~11700 years ago till present day). Thus far though several hypotheses emerge suggesting possible culprits responsible for aforementioned disconnect:
• Atmospheric composition alterations - Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide might stimulate photosynthesis thus enhancing radial increment independently regardless actual warmth experienced locally;
• Radiation budget modifications – Aerosol loading could reduce incoming solar irradiance thereby cooling surfaces even whilst tropospheric heating continues unabated aloft;
• Land-use transformations – Urban heat islands effect whereby built-up areas retain thermal energy overnight compared rural surroundings causing diurnal cycles amplitude diminution hence masking true underlying trend accurately represented solely via remote sensing techniques rather than ground-based stations situated midst concrete jungles instead verdant meadows once covering entire landscapes extensively before deforestation commenced en masse following agricultural revolution some ten thousand odd years earlier marking beginning end Pleistocene Ice Age giving way current interglacial phase known scientifically speaking as Allerød oscillation followed Bølling–Allerød warm period then Younger Dryas stadial event finally culminating abrupt termination triggering rapid deglaciation initiating rise sea level sub

Dibotryon morbosum or Apiosporina morbosa is a plant pathogen , which is the causal agent of black knot . It affects the cherry , plum , apricot and chokecherry trees of North America . The disease produces rough , black areas that encircle and kill the infested parts , and provide habitat for insects .   The disease was first described in 1821 in Pennsylvania but has spread across North America . While it was one of the most destructive diseases of the plum and cherry trees in the late 19th century , today it is relatively well controlled in many cultivated areas and seen primarily in poorly managed orchards , or where strongly established , including in the wild .   Black Knot occurs only on the wood parts of trees , primarily on twigs and branches but can spread to larger limbs and even the trunk . Olive-green swellings from the disease are visible in the late spring , but as it spreads and matures typically by autumn rough black knots circle and kill affected parts . The knots vary in size from one inch to one foot ( 2.5 cm - 30 cm ) . Older knots can kill trees by promoting insect infestations .   The most common treatments are pruning infected parts during the winter and spraying buds with a fungicide . Nearby wild plants with the disease are also destroyed .

The 1859 Atlantic hurricane season featured seven hurricanes , the most recorded during an Atlantic hurricane season until 1870 . However , in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies , only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were recorded , so the actual total could be higher . An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 has been estimated . Of the eight known 1859 cyclones , five were first documented in 1995 by Jose Fernandez-Partagás and Henry Diaz , which was largely adopted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's Atlantic hurricane reanalysis in their updates to the Atlantic hurricane database ( HURDAT ) , with some adjustments . HURDAT is the official source for hurricane data such as track and intensity , although due to sparse records , listings on some storms are incomplete .   The first tropical cyclone was a hurricane observed in the Tuxpan area of Veracruz , Mexico , on July 1 . Hurricane conditions were observed along the coast and several vessels were lost . On September 2 , another hurricane struck Saint Kitts and Saint Croix , damaging ships on the former . The fifth storm of the season , possibly the most devastating of the season , brought storm surge and hurricane force winds to the Florida Panhandle and Mobile , Alabama , as well as flooding and wind damage to some areas of the Mid-Atlantic . In early October , the sixth cyclone brought damage to Inagua in the Bahamas . At least 25 boats sunk , with several people drowning after one vessel capsized . Two ships capsized in the Bahamas due to the seventh storm . A ship in the Gulf of Mexico capsized during the eighth and final cyclone , drowning an unknown number of people . The storm became extratropical offshore the Southeastern United States on October 29 .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 56 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph ( 63 km/h ) , which is tropical storm strength .

David L Peterson ( born 1954 ) is a research biologist with the United States Forest Service and affiliate professor at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences , at the University of Washington . He is also a co-founder and lead scientist for the Western Mountain Initiative , a consortium of researchers known world-wide for their work on the effects of climate change on mountain ecosystems .

A day is a unit of time . In common usage , it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime , the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon . The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day . Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context , need and convenience . In 1960 , the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth , and was designated the SI base unit of time . The unit of measurement `` day '' , redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d , is not an SI unit , but is accepted for use with SI . A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds , plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) , and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time . The word day may also refer to a day of the week or to a calendar date , as in answer to the question , `` On which day ? '' The life patterns of humans and many other species are related to Earth 's solar day and the day-night cycle ( see circadian rhythms ) .   In recent decades the average length of a solar day on Earth has been about 86 400.002 seconds ( 24.000 000 6 hours ) and there are about 365.242 2 solar days in one mean tropical year . Because celestial orbits are not perfectly circular , and thus objects travel at different speeds at various positions in their orbit , a solar day is not the same length of time throughout the orbital year . A day , understood as the span of time it takes for the Earth to make one entire rotation  with respect to the celestial background or a distant star ( assumed to be fixed ) , is called a stellar day . This period of rotation is about 4 minutes less than 24 hours ( 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds ) and there are about 366.242 2 stellar days in one mean tropical year ( one stellar day more than the number of solar days ) . Mainly due to tidal effects , the Earth 's rotational period is not constant , resulting in further minor variations for both solar days and stellar `` days '' . Other planets and moons have stellar and solar days of different lengths to Earth 's .

Between 1868 and 1872 , the life and work of Charles Darwin from Descent of Man to Emotions continued with aspects of his intended `` Big Book '' on evolution through natural selection . He had by then hurriedly published an `` abstract '' of this work as On the Origin of Species in 1859 , and following the immediate reaction to Darwin 's theory his earlier work included demonstrating the utility of the flowers of Orchids in directing insect pollination to achieve cross fertilisation , and a summing up of thirteen years of experiments in The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication which went on sale on 30 January 1868 . He now published his ideas on human evolution and on how beautiful but apparently impractical features could have evolved in The Descent of Man , and Selection in Relation to Sex . After revising The Origin of Species as the definitive 6th edition , his major works on species culminated in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals . This period was followed by extensive work on insectivorous plants and research into worms .

The 1886 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the early summer and the first half of fall in 1886 . This is the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was a very active year , with ten hurricanes , seven of which struck the United States . Four hurricanes became major hurricanes ( Category 3 + ) . However , in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies , only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea are known , so the actual total could be higher . An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated . Of the known 1886 cyclones , Hurricane Seven and Tropical Storm Eleven were first documented in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz . They also proposed large alterations to the known tracks of several other 1886 storms .

In physics , the Lamb shift , named after Willis Lamb , is a difference in energy between two energy levels 2S1/2 and 2P1/2 ( in term symbol notation ) of the hydrogen atom which was not predicted by the Dirac equation , according to which these states should have the same energy .   Interaction between vacuum energy fluctuations and the hydrogen electron in these different orbitals is the cause of the Lamb shift , as was shown subsequent to its discovery . The Lamb shift has since played a significant role through vacuum energy fluctuations in theoretical prediction of Hawking radiation from black holes .   This effect was first measured in 1947 in the Lamb -- Retherford experiment on the hydrogen microwave spectrum and this measurement provided the stimulus for renormalization theory to handle the divergences . It was the harbinger of modern quantum electrodynamics developed by Julian Schwinger , Richard Feynman , Ernst Stueckelberg , Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson . Lamb won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his discoveries related to the Lamb shift .

1982 -- 1992 ( also known as The Cassiber Box ) is a 2013 box set compilation album on Recommended Records commemorating the German new wave group Cassiber founded by Heiner Goebbels , Alfred Harth , Christoph Anders and Chris Cutler .   The period `` 1982 -- 1992 '' is the defining period of activity for the band . The box comprises the 4 original Cassiber albums on three discs , remastered by the American recording engineer Bob Drake , 2 further remastered discs with the band 's Cassix , Duck and Cover and Ground Zero projects , a sixth disc of unreleased studio and live material . The box also includes a 2-hour long DVD of live and studio footage , including a documentary made during the recording of the album A Face We All Know ( 1990 ) , and a book .

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study , diagnosis , prevention , and treatment of diseases , disorders and conditions of the oral cavity , commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa , and of adjacent and related structures and tissues , particularly in the maxillofacial ( jaw and facial ) area . Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public , the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temperomandibular and other supporting structures . The term dentistry comes from odontology ( from Ancient Greek ὀδούς ( odoús , `` tooth '' ) ) -- the study of the structure , development , and abnormalities of the teeth . Because of their substantial overlap in concept , dentistry is often also understood to subsume the now largely defunct medical specialty of stomatology ( the study of the mouth and its disorders and diseases ) for which reason the two terms are used interchangeably in certain regions .   Dentistry is important to one 's overall health . Dental treatments are carried out by the dental team , which often consists of a dentist and dental auxiliaries ( dental assistants , dental hygienists , dental technicians , as well as dental therapists ) . Most dentists either work in private practices ( primary care ) , dental hospitals or ( secondary care ) institutions ( prisons , armed forces bases , etc. ) .   The history of dentistry is almost as ancient as the history of humanity and civilization with the earliest evidence dating from 7000 BC . Remains from the early Harappan periods of the Indus Valley Civilization ( BC ) show evidence of teeth having been drilled dating back 9,000 years . It is thought that dental surgery was the first specialization from medicine .

The Shroud of Turin ( Turin Shroud ) , a linen cloth that tradition associates with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus , has undergone numerous scientific tests , the most notable of which is radiocarbon dating , in an attempt to determine the relic 's authenticity . In 1988 , scientists at three separate laboratories dated samples from the Shroud to a range of AD 1260 -- 1390 , which coincides with the first certain appearance of the shroud in the 1350s and is much later than the burial of Jesus . Aspects of the 1988 test continue to be debated . Despite some technical concerns that have been raised about radiocarbon dating of the Shroud , most experts assert that it is reliable .


Question: After 1960, there's been an observed divergence between tree-ring data and recorded temperature trends.

 Divergence Problem in Paleoclimate Studies
In recent decades, scientists studying tree-ring data noticed inconsistencies known as "the divergence problem," where ring widths no longer correlate accurately with observed temperatures post-1960s. This phenomenon complicates historical temperature reconstructions using dendrochronology (tree rings). Since accurate instrumental records started around 1850, they've been crucial alongside proxy methods like tree rings for understanding long-term climate trends. However, discrepancies emerged beyond mid-century, challenging assumptions about past climates' accuracy without modern measurement techniques. Researchers continue refining methodologies to bridge gaps between pre-industrial era proxies and contemporary thermometric readings, ensuring reliable insights into Earth’s changing climate across millennia.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, thematic focus while addressing how scientific observations regarding specific datasets can influence broader understandings within fields related to environmental science—here focusing specifically upon challenges encountered when interpreting tree-ring chronologies against direct measurements taken laterally throughout history.

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease , maintain , or increase body weight . In other words , it is conscious control or restriction of the diet . A restricted diet is often used by those who are overweight or obese , sometimes in combination with physical exercise , to reduce body weight . Some people follow a diet to gain weight ( usually in the form of muscle ) . Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight and improve health . In particular , diets can be designed to prevent or treat diabetes .   Diets to promote weight loss can be categorized as : low-fat , low-carbohydrate , low-calorie , very low calorie and more recently flexible dieting . A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between low-calorie , low-carbohydrate , and low-fat diets , with a 2 -- 4 kilogram weight loss over 12 -- 18 months in all studies . At two years , all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the macronutrients emphasized . In general , the most effective diet is any which reduces calorie consumption .   A study published in American Psychologist found that short-term dieting involving `` severe restriction of calorie intake '' does not lead to `` sustained improvements in weight and health for the majority of individuals '' . Other studies have found that the average individual maintains some weight loss after dieting . Weight loss by dieting , while of benefit to those classified as unhealthy , may slightly increase the mortality rate for individuals who are otherwise healthy .   The first popular diet was `` Banting '' , named after William Banting . In his 1863 pamphlet , Letter on Corpulence , Addressed to the Public , he outlined the details of a particular low-carbohydrate , low-calorie diet that had led to his own dramatic weight loss .

Dionysius Exiguus ( Latin for `` Dionysius the Humble '' ; -- ) was a 6th-century monk born in Scythia Minor ( probably modern Dobruja , in Romania and Bulgaria ) . He was a member of a community of Scythian monks concentrated in Tomis , the major city of Scythia Minor . Dionysius is best known as the inventor of the Anno Domini ( AD ) era , which is used to number the years of both the Gregorian calendar and the ( Christianised ) Julian calendar . Some churches adopted his computus ( calculation ) for the dates of Easter .   From about 500 he lived in Rome , where , as a learned member of the Roman Curia , he translated from Greek into Latin 401 ecclesiastical canons , including the apostolical canons ; the decrees of the councils of Nicaea , Constantinople , Chalcedon and Sardis ; and a collection of the decretals of the popes from Siricius to Anastasius II . These Collectiones canonum Dionysianae had great authority in the West , and continues to guide church administrations . Dionysius also wrote a treatise on elementary mathematics .   The author of a continuation of Dionysius 's Computus , writing in 616 , described Dionysius as a `` most learned abbot of the city of Rome '' , and the Venerable Bede accorded him the honorific abbas , which could be applied to any monk , especially a senior and respected monk , and does not necessarily imply that Dionysius ever headed a monastery ; indeed , Dionysius 's friend Cassiodorus stated in Institutiones that he was still a monk late in life .

The 1962 Pacific hurricane season was a moderately active Pacific hurricane season that included two hurricane landfalls . The 1962 Pacific hurricane season officially started on May 15 , 1962 in the eastern Pacific and June 1 , 1962 in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center 's area of responsibility and lasted until November 30 , 1962 in both regions . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean .   The first of two hurricane landfalls , Hurricane Valerie , struck northwestern Mexico in June . The other , Hurricane Doreen , hit further to the north of Valerie in October . The most impacting storm of the season was Tropical Storm Claudia , after its remnants dropped heavy rainfall in portions of Arizona . The rainfall left damaging flooding across rivers and towns . No people were killed , but damage totaled to $ 11 million ( 1962 USD ) . Moreover , Tropical Storm Bernie also made landfall along the Baja California peninsula , later providing rain to Arizona . An unusually high number of storms threatened the Palmyra Atoll , where only 1 % of known Pacific tropical cyclones have threatened . In all , a total of 16 storms were observed , which was above average though only two ( Valerie and Doreen ) reached hurricane intensity .

The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic , spanning 60 million years from the end of the Silurian , million years ago ( Mya ) , to the beginning of the Carboniferous , Mya . It is named after Devon , England , where rocks from this period were first studied .  The first significant adaptive radiation of life on dry land occurred during the Devonian . Free-sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land , forming extensive forests which covered the continents . By the middle of the Devonian , several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots , and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants appeared . Various terrestrial arthropods also became well-established . Fish reached substantial diversity during this time , leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the `` Age of Fish '' . The first ray-finned and lobe-finned bony fish appeared , while the placodermi began dominating almost every known aquatic environment .   The ancestors of all four-limbed vertebrates ( tetrapods ) began adapting to walking on land , as their strong pectoral and pelvic fins gradually evolved into legs . In the oceans , primitive sharks became more numerous than in the Silurian and Late Ordovician . The first ammonites , species of molluscs , appeared . Trilobites , the mollusk-like brachiopods and the great coral reefs , were still common . The Late Devonian extinction which started about 375 million years ago severely affected marine life , killing off all placodermi , and all trilobites , save for a few species of the order Proetida .   The palaeogeography was dominated by the supercontinent of Gondwana to the south , the continent of Siberia to the north , and the early formation of the small continent of Euramerica in between .

The 1964 Pacific hurricane season was the least active Pacific hurricane season on record since 1953 . The season officially started on May 15 in the eastern Pacific and June 1 in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center 's area of responsibility and lasted until November 30 in both regions . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean .   During this season only six tropical storms developed , of which two intensified into hurricanes . Of the two hurricanes , one reached Category 2 intensity of the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale . No storms reached major hurricane status ( Category 3 or higher on the hurricane scale ) , an unusual occurrence . The first tropical cyclone of the season , Tropical Storm Natalie made landfall in Mexico in early to mid-July . About a week later , Hurricane Odessa became the strongest storm of the season in terms of wind speed . Tropical Storm Prudence brought high waves to Southern California , while becoming the strongest storm of the year in terms of barometric pressure . In addition , Tropical Storm Tillie produced severe flooding to much of the Southwestern United States , in particular in Arizona in early to mid-September .

The Richter magnitude scale ( also Richter scale ) assigns a magnitude number to quantify the size of an earthquake . The Richter scale , developed in the 1930s , is a base-10 logarithmic scale , which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary , minor amplitude , as recorded on a standardized seismograph at a standard distance .   As measured with a seismometer , an earthquake that registers 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times greater than an earthquake that registered 4.0 at the same distance . As energy release is generally proportional to the shaking amplitude raised to the 3/2 power , an increase of 1 magnitude corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times that released by the lesser earthquake . This means that , for instance , an earthquake of magnitude 5 releases 31.6 times as much energy as an earthquake of magnitude 4 .   Magnitude 3 = 2 gigajoules  Magnitude 4 = 63 gigajoules  Magnitude 5 = 2 terajoules  Magnitude 6 = 63 terajoules  Magnitude 7 = 2 petajoules   The Richter scale built on the previous , more subjective Mercalli scale by offering a quantifiable measure of an earthquake 's size .   In the United States , the Richter scale was succeeded in the 1970s by the moment magnitude scale . The moment magnitude scale is now the scale used by the United States Geological Survey to estimate magnitudes for all modern large earthquakes .

The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue ( DOST ) is a 12-volume dictionary that documents the history of the Scots language covering Older Scots from the earliest written evidence in the 12th century until the year 1700 . DOST was compiled over a period of some eighty years , from 1931 -- 2002 .

Diane Arbus ( -LSB- diːˈæn_ˈɑrbəs -RSB- March 14 , 1923 -- July 26 , 1971 ) was an American photographer and writer noted for photographs of marginalized people -- dwarfs , giants , transgender people , nudists , circus performers -- and others whose normality was perceived by the general populace as ugly or surreal . Her work has been described as consisting of formal manipulation characterized by blatant sensationalism .   In 1972 , a year after she committed suicide ( there exists a popular cliche of her being the Sylvia Plath of photographers ) , Arbus became the first American photographer to have photographs displayed at the Venice Biennale . Millions viewed traveling exhibitions of her work in 1972 -- 1979 . The book accompanying the exhibition , Diane Arbus : An Aperture Monograph , edited by Doon Arbus and Marvin Israel and first published in 1972 was still in print by 2006 , having become the best selling photography monograph ever . Between 2003 and 2006 , Arbus and her work were the subjects of another major traveling exhibition , Diane Arbus Revelations . In 2006 , the motion picture Fur , starring Nicole Kidman as Arbus , presented a fictional version of her life story .

A Dicke radiometer is a type of radiometer developed by Robert H. Dicke during World War II . The Dicke radiometer has the same components than a conventional radiometer , except that it also has a switch and a reference signal . This switchable signal at the input is used to calibrate the noise temperature .   Category : Electromagnetic radiation meters
