Some of you like math, right?

Take this equation:
FNδN = F1δ1 + F2δ2

It's possible to solve for F1 and F2 in terms of only FN, δN, δ1, and δ2:
F1 = FN * [(δN-δ2)/(δ1-δ2)]
F2 = FN * [(δ1-δN)/(δ1-δ2)]

What I'm trying to figure out is how solvable this equation is once you add more terms:
FNδN = ΣFiδi

Is it still possible to get Fi in terms of ( Read more... )

All Earth Science Masters students are required to take this one credit class called Proposal Development. It's not really a real class, per se, but we meet a couple times a month when some sort of paper or presentation is due. In theory, it's a good idea; we have to turn in our thesis proposals in May so by having assorted things required along ( Read more... )

New project for the next week(s): Checking all the met data for 1993-1997.

27 things (temp, wind speed, precip, rh, etc.) measured per hour * 24 hours a day * 365 days a year * 5 years = an awful lot of datapoints (1,182,600, to be precise).

( For some reason warning signs in other countries are always much more amusing. )

Printing a poster is supposed to be a nice easy process. You take the .ppt file down to the nice guys in the GIS lab, they print a draft, you check it for any typos, they print a gloss copy, everyone goes home happy ( Read more... )

I completely do not understand why UNH didn't close today. The roads have a lovely coating of black ice from this weekend's storm, now covered with at least 3 inches of snow and it's still snowing pretty hard. (Current forecasts are for 6-10 inches, though it may turn to sleet instead of snow this afternoon ( Read more... )
