Observations from ships are an essential component of the Global Climate Observing System(GCOS) and complement observations from other marine networks(e. g., Argo, drifting buoys, and moorings). The key challenge is that the surface marine climate record is mainly constructed from observations originally collected for other reasons, typically from weather logs that are part of normal ship activities or to support numerical weather prediction.  2, record 1, English, - meteorological%20log

... it is quite natural to look at GSPD as a fractal measure ... with infinitely many types of singularities. Probing the surface with many random walks is equivalent to the estimation of the corresponding solutions of Laplace’s equation ... which are usually called harmonic functions. Consequently, the name harmonic measure is also used for GSPD.  2, record 2, English, - harmonic%20function

To calculate the harmonic measure and its characteristic properties one can follow two numerical methods. i) After having generated a DLA cluster one releases further particles... whose diffusional motion is simulated by the same technique... which is used for growing the aggregate. These probe particles, however, are eliminated when they arrive at the surface, and a record is kept of how many times each of the surface sites is contacted in this way. The normalized number of contacts is then regarded as the growth probability.  2, record 2, English, - harmonic%20function

Numerical age dating means establishing the approximate age in years of a particular layer of rock by analyzing the decay of radioactive elements. Radioactive decay occurs when an unstable form of a chemical element naturally converts to a stable form of another chemical element. Volcanic ash layers, for example, contain radioactive elements. When the ash layer forms, the radioactive elements begins to decay at a constant rate.  3, record 3, English, - numerical%20age%20determination
