The meter per second is the derived unit of speed in the International System of Units(SI). The meter per second(m/s) is equal to 3. 6 kilometers per hour(km/h), or about 2. 236936 miles per hour(mph), or 3. 28084 feet per second(ft/s), or 39. 370079 inches per second(in/s) or 1. 943844 knots(kn). The speed is the distance traveled by an object during a period of time. Thus, meters per second(meters/second) show how many meters are traveled in one second. The meter is a unit of length in the metric system[, ] while the second is a unit of time.  5, record 2, English, - metre%20per%20second

Ice meter... Objective methods of the icing measurements are based on the icing weight determination related to the unit of area(in meteorology) or to the unit of length(in power supply). The hard rime was determined with the aid of the so-called icing meter bars. They were represented by two wooden bars of 32 mm diameter and 1 m length, i. e. the surface area equals 0, 1 m² per 1 bar. Bars were placed horizontally and perpendicularly to each other. First of them was oriented in north-south direction, the second east-west. The amount of water was measured and result recalculated to kg. m^-². These ice meter bars made possible quite reliable evaluation of the icing without having the continual measurement. Nevertheless they are not used contemporary in the meteorological service.  3, record 6, English, - ice%20meter

We have divided the canopy into three layers. Below-canopy woody tissues of canopy trees are treated as a fourth layer, and the soil and understory plants constitute a fifth layer. Within each layer, we are measuring important environmental variables including air temperature, photosynthetically photon flux (PFD), windspeed, and humidity. We are also measuring micro-environmental and plant physiological variables including PFD near leaf surfaces, temperature of respiring woody tissues, leaf nitrogen content and leaf water potential. The measurements of air temperature, wood temperature, PFD, wind, and humidity are made every 10 to 60 seconds and summaries of the data are stored each hour.  2, record 7, English, - photosynthetic%20photon%20flux
