A tipping bucket electronically records precipitation on a rotating drum or electronically. It has a funnel, like a simple rain gauge, but the funnel leads to two tiny "buckets." The two buckets are balanced (somewhat like a see-saw) and each holds .01 inch of water. When one bucket fil...
A thorough analysis of all the elements of soil water balance-irrigation, precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, drainage, seepage, and changes in the soil moisture profile-was included in this collection. To determine the soil water balance, all the factors are important. Although ...
PURPOSE: To simply evaluate the coating aptitude and operability of paint in blade coating by evaluating the coating properties of paint from the exudation and precipitation of paint at the edge of a blade at a time of coating and/or the presence of floc or the coating flaw of a roll surfa...
1 - hour precipitation is also universally used to measure rainfall intensity. According to Wikipedia, the following categories are applied: • Light rain - when the precipitation rate is < 2.5 mm per hour • Moderate rain - when the precipitation rate is between 2.5 mm - 7.6 m...
Studies were also included if they reported on the strength of association between scores on an indirect measure and an independent indicator of pedohebephilic interest in a sample of males. We used meta-analysis with robust variance estimation to summarize effect sizes and metaregression to test ...

(2017b) from MODIS satellite imagery at a 250-m grid resolution. Temperature and precipitation were extracted using site locations and averaged for the ~40-year period 1981–2020 (span of available data) to derive AHMI as a measure of site-level aridity (Stewart and Nitschke2017a,2018; ...
Here, we address the abovementioned questions from a different perspective using an information-theoretic measure, free of structural assumptions and general to a wide range of relationships, to characterize the average and seasonal dependence between IR imagery provided by satellite sensors in the ...
1993) to measure the degree of similarity between spectra extracted from the Sentinel-2 mosaic and quartz spectra resampled to the resolution of Sentinel-2 from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) spectral library (Kokaly et al. 2017). We used the ratio between S2-Bands 4 (664 nm) ...
Scientists measure concentrations of particulates of different sizes in the air. Particulates PM₁₀ are less than 10 micrometers in diameter. For comparison, a typical human hair has a diameter of 60 micrometers. Particulates PM₁₀ accumulate mainly in the throat, larynx, and trachea. ...
