... Moscow, Russia E-mail: krivosheev@iki.rssi.ru Notes: · · The Monte Carlo method (s) is also called the statistical test method An innumerable number of processes can be listed the outcome of which is not determined and has probabilistic nature, but these processes obey statistical laws, so to obtain the result we have to make multiple similar tests, i.e. to use the MC method Because probabilistic processes are widely spread in nature, the MC ...

PC-index is an empirical magnetic activity index based on data from single near-pole station (Thule or Vostok for N or S hemispheres, respectively), c.f. Troshichev et al., 1988 and Vennerstrom et al., 1994 for description of algorithm and examples. Its derivation procedure is optimized to achieve the best correlation of the PC-index with the solar wind electric field (SWEF) magnitude ( v*B*sin(teta/2)**2 ). ... Separate Status Flags are given for the PC-index data from each station. ...

Educator's Guide to Convection . ... It functions because heated fluids, due to their lower density, rise and cooled fluids fall. ... When it does, it becomes part of a convection cell. ... The tops of the clouds have a sort of cauliflower appearance as warm moist air rises through the center of the cloud. ... As the air falls along the exterior of the cloud, it returns to warmer low altitudes where it can be caught up in the rising column of air in the center of the cloud. ...
