Halo around the Moon. Halo arises when the light beams refracted on the high clouds icy chips ina form of a six side prism. As a result we see a small halo circle with a 22°-radius. The big circle is formed by the beams paased through the side edge and the base of prismochips. Its radius is equal to 46° (nearly). The big circle is observed rarely and is shining weaker but it is easier to observe it near the Sun, if comparing with the small halo invisible in the bright Sun light. ...

Next: Descriptor for the Up: Horizon obstructions Previous: Horizon obstructions . If the photometer has an eyepiece, one can easily check whether the pupil is clear or obstructed by examining the exit pupil formed by the eyepiece. ... The ``observing'' limit is a position at which the obstruction is near, but completely outside of , the usable field. The ``moonlight'' limit is the position at which the last speck of sky disappears behind terrestrial obstructions. ...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...
