... Kieran Hickey of Armagh Observatory has been testing the link between increased temperatures in North-West Europe and the frequency of storms, as shown in the historical records of climate at Armagh and elsewhere. This is part of an on-going research project at Armagh into the nature of climate change in North-West Europe using long-term meteorological records. ... Some years have significantly more winter storms than others, possibly as a result of the North Atlantic Climate "Seesaw". ...

Underdetermined sets is a new type of data structures (terms) developed in Actor Prolog . ... The point is that an underdetermined set can include some indefinite rest (a tail) like a list in usual Prolog . At the same time, the order of elements of an underdetermined set can be arbitrary one and it does not affect results of unification of underdetermined sets. Moreover, Actor Prolog guarantees that a rest of an underdetermined set never contains elements that are explicitly given in the set. ...

RADIOASTROPHYSICAL DEPARTMENT • INSTITUTE OF SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL PHYSICS RAS SB . ... SSRT - Receiving systems . The SSRT has two independent receiving systems for recording solar observational data, and several ancillary receivers for checking, setting up and adjusting the instrument. The base receiving systen is a multichannel filter receiver for a simultaneous recording in 180 channels with the 500 kHz band each, adjusted at steps of about 600 kHz. ... Channel's band . ...

Support data for calibrating the CCD consisted of eight bias frames and four 60-second dark frames. ... To rescue the images, we processed and registered the four 15-second integrations and the 60-second integration separately. ... The 60-second images were then registered to the composite of 15-second images to produce the image M11-COMBO.FTS. ...

How prevalent was water on Mars? Results from the Spirit rover now indicate that Gusev crater likely had a wet past, a result that comes shortly after Spirit's twin rover Opportunity uncovered clear evidence of past water at Meridiani Planum on the other side of Mars. ...

The visibility amplitude bias (there is also a closure phase bias, but this one is nominally corrected by the raw data averaging pipeline) is related to non-Poisson detector statistics due to after-pulsing, and to fixed pattern noise due to non-linearities in the modulation stroke. We determine the bias using so-called incoherent scans, which record data even though the delay lines are deliberately set away from the white light fringe. ... Averaging triple products.. ... Background data loaded. ...

... Even future mission archives tend to concentrate more on what can be extracted out of a proposal or a Guaranteed Time Observation log than the actual extracted science out of the data itself. ... A year later the data is then publicly available. An archive researcher has then to go through a mass of data to find what may be useful without any indication as to what the actual observer's results were while using the data except the proposal, which in most cases is very general. ...

This collection of references cite useful books, many dissertations and papers (with abstracts) of the 50s--90s devided in several categories: DDA, TMM, (layered) spheres, (infinite and finite) cylinders, spheroids, clusters of spheres, ADA, GO and RT/MCM. ... Most of the papers were published from the 60s to 2001. ...
