Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
DEF

Convective index used to predict thunderstorms and tornadoes.

CONT

The SWEAT Index evaluates the potential for severe weather by examining both kinematic and thermodynamic information into one index. ... Unlike the K Index, the SWEAT index should be used to assess severe weather potential, not ordinary thunderstorm potential.

OBS

SWEAT=12D + 20(T-49) + 2f8 + f5 + 125(S + 0. 2), where D is the 850 hPa dew point in °C(if D is negative, it is set to zero) ;f8 and f5, the wind speed at 850 and 500 hPa in knots; S, the sine of the difference of the wind directions at 500 and 850 hPa; T, the total totals index in °C(if T is less than 49, the term 20(T-49) is set to zero).

OBS

Applications of the formula show that a SWEAT value of 300 represents a lower limit for the occurrence of severe thunderstorms and a value of 400 represents a lower limit for the occurrence of tornadoes.

OBS

... [stability] index attributable to Miller (1972) ...

DEF

Indice de convection utilisé pour prévoir les orages et les tornades.

OBS

SWEAT = 12D + 20(T - 49) + 2f8 + f5 + 125(S + 0,2), où D est le point de rosée à 850 hPa en °C (si D est négatif, ce terme prend la valeur zéro); f8 et f5, les vitesses du vent à 850 et 500 hPa en noeuds; S, le sinus de la différence entre les directions du vent à 500 et 850 hPa; T, l'indice total-total en °C (si T est inférieur à 49, le terme 20(T - 49) prend la valeur zéro).

OBS

Son utilisation montre qu'une valeur SWEAT de 300 représente une limite inférieure pour la manifestation d'orages violents et qu'une valeur de 400 est une limite inférieure pour la manifestation de tornades.

OBS

SWEAT = 12D + 20(T - 49) + 2 f8 + f5 + 125 (S + 0,2), donde D es el punto de rocío a 850 hPa en grados C (si D es negativo, este término se fija en 0); f8 y f5 son la velocidad del viento en nudos a 850 y 500 hPa; S es el seno de la diferencia entre las direcciones del viento a 500 y 850 hPa; T es el índice total de totales en grados C (si T es inferior a 49, el término 20 (T - 49) se fija en 0).

OBS

Su empleo muestra que un valor SWEAT de 300 representa un límite inferior para la aparición de tormentas intensas y que un valor de 400 es el límite inferior para la aparición de tornados.

A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset.

CONT

The indicator [RSI] is plotted between a range of zero to 100 where 100 is the highest overbought condition and zero is the highest oversold condition. The RSI helps to measure the strength of a security's recent up moves compared to the strength of its recent down moves.... In the RSI, the overbought line is typically set at 70 and when the RSI is above this level the security is considered to be overbought. The security is seen as oversold when the RSI is below 30.

  • Orbital Stations
CONT

In a collaborative project with the Canadian Space Agency, two vibration isolation systems for zero-g environments have been developed-the Motion Isolation Mount(MIM) for orbital flights and the Large Motion Isolation Mount(LMIM) for parabolic flights. The approach taken for MIM has been to develop a mechanism having two parts : a stator attached to the structure and a payload-carrying flotor, with the only coupling between the two components being a flexible umbilical carrying signals and power to the flotor. The flotor is actively magnetically levitated by a set of wide-gap voice coil actuators. Its position relative to the stator is sensed by an optical position sensor while its absolute acceleration is sensed by an inertial accelerometer system. A digital controller uses the sensed information to compute actuator currents based on a control law that regulates acceleration and steady-state position to zero. The weak coupling between stator and flotor and the insensitivity of actuator force with position makes such a system extremely effective for vibration isolation...

The residual set of an Apollonian packing.

CONT

The Apollonian construction concludes with five circles, three given and two Apollonian, which together define six circular triangles. Repeating the same procedure, we draw the largest inscribed circle in each triangle. Infinite further repetition is called Apollonian packing. To the resulting infinite collection of circles one adds its limit points, and one obtains a set I call Apollonian net. A portion of net within a circular triangle ... is to be called Apollonian gasket.

CONT

Formation of an Apollonian gasket : the points that are never inside any of the circles form a set of zero area which is, as it were, more than a line, but less than a surface. Its fractal dimension therefore lies between 1 and 2, though its exact value is not known. It is approximately 1. 3.

In a large random network of electrical resistors based on a square lattice, the set of resistors through which the current actually flows, as opposed to all other resistors (dangling bonds).

CONT

One of the simplest subsets of a fractal is its backbone which can be introduced through the voltage distribution on a percolation cluster. Consider now a large cluster of resistors with two electrodes-one of each at its opposite edges. Then the backbone is defined as the set of bonds(resistors) with a voltage drop different from zero.

Compare the columnar geometry of percolation aggregates to the strip geometry of ballistic aggregates.

Lorsque l'on veut déformer une fractale en exerçant une force externe entre deux points de la structure, on s'aperçoit que seules entre en ligne de compte les déformations de l'ensemble connecté doublement à la matière contenue entre ces deux points. Les éléments de matière connectés en un seul point, ou chaînes pendantes ne sont pas déformées. Lorsque l'on élimine les chaînes pendantes, ou obtient une nouvelle structure, le squelette, qui peut avoir une dimension fractale différente de celle de l'objet de départ.

This notion of topological dimension has been formalized in the twentieth century on the basis of the idea of Poincaré(1905, Chap. III, S3) to let a point have zero dimension, to relate the dimension of a space to the way it can be divided by boundaries, and to use mathematical induction. Thus curves can be divided by cuts which are of zero dimension(i. e. by points) and so have one dimension, surfaces can be divided by cuts of one dimension(i. e. by curves) and so have two dimensions, etc. Cantor's middle-thirds set had no place in Euclid's Elements, of course, but it may be said to have topological dimension d=O because it is a subset of R with zero length(and so has neither breadth nor length).

A stationary and non-accelerating flow is described with du/dt=dv/dt=0. With this,(7-3) becomes a set of differential equations for u, v whose solution yields the Ekman spiral. However, if we are not interested in accurate solutions and consider one layer only, we can see the meaning of the friction force as first shown by C. M. Guldberg and H. Mohn in 1883. The wind profile near the earth's surface is usually convex, if represented on a graph with wind speed versus height. The wind speed increases from zero at the earth's surface to significant values near the anemometer level, and further increase of wind speed with height continues at a slower rate. In this situation, the second derivatives of u and v may be assumed proportional to-u and-v, respectively :
