I felt like I was doing something wrong as I was going to the basement of the Ocean and Meteorology in the dark to dose my bio-sand filter and check on my ceramic filter. Weeks were spent talking‚ planning and designing two point of use water filtration systems that would feasible in a developing country. I was spending my Friday night inspecting‚ dosing‚ and hoping my handmade bio-sand would form a microbial layer necessary for the filter to work and checking on the flow rate of my ceramic filter

The atmospheric entry probe Huygens became the first spacecraft to land on a body in the outer solar system when it landed on Saturn’s moon Titan on 14 January 2005. Titan‚ which was discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655 after whom the probe was named‚ is the only moon of Saturn that has an atmosphere. This atmosphere was found to be impenetrable by Voyager 2s imaging probes‚ and was believed to resemble Earth’s primeval atmosphere‚ making it a prime target for the European Space Agency’s (ESA)

Trigonometry Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon "triangle" + metron "measure"[1]) is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between the lengths of their sides and the angles between those sides. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions‚ which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclicalphenomena‚ such as waves. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies.[2] It is also the

Mt. Adiabatic Let’s look more closely at how the air changes temperature when it rises or drops. We know that warm air rises‚ and when it rises it becomes cooler. If you remember that‚ you can reason your way through a lot of meteorology. Adiabatic heating and cooling implies a change in temperature of the parcel of air without gain or loss of heat from outside the air parcel. Adiabatic processes are very important in the atmosphere‚ and adiabatic cooling of rising air is the dominant cause of cloud
