Lipa swiateczna
LIPA w hypertekscie: mosaic http://www.iopan.gda.pl/lipa.html
Od edytora (pflatau@ucsd.edu)
W dzisiejszym swiatecznym numerze:
--- WIELKI KONKURS na jubileusze LIPY
--- Jeden tekst ale za to w DWOCH jezykach. Podobno "Piwnica pod Baranami" spiewala to Papiezowi i sie wzruszyl.
Wesolych Swiat!
P.S. W nastepnym numerze - cegla.
Konkurs swiateczny na datowanie jubileuszy - ogloszenie
Najmilsi. "Donosy" obchodza jubileusze systemem dwojkowym. T.j. numery 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ... sa jubileuszowe. Donald Knuth numeruje kolejne wersje swojego programu "TeX" przyblizeniami Pi. T.j. 3.14, 3.141, 3.1415, ...
Nie mozemy byc gorsi. Oglaszam WIELKI KONKURS na numeracje jubileuszowych numerow Lipy. Wygrana - Mercedes, ktory zostanie przeslany poczta. Oczywiscie numery jubileuszowe Lipy musza byc (1) zwiazane ze zjawiskami meteorologicznymi lub oceanograficznymi (2) monotonicznie wzrastac (t.j. nie mozna proponowac jubileuszowego numeru dziesiatego, dwudziestego, a potem czternastego).
Propozycje prosze wysylac do edytora 1) elektronicznie
2) z krotkim uzasadnieniem zjawiska/teoryi.
Konkurs na jubileusz - teoria Milankowicza
Ja (PJF) proponuje obchodzic jubileusze "Lipy" w.g. teorii Milutina Milankowitcha. T.j. co 22000, 41000, i 100000 lat. Ponizej, streszczenie teorii orbitali:
Theory of climate change,
which was developed in 1920 by Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian
scientist, explains not only the Holocene recovery but also many of the
remarkable fluctuations of Pleistocene times. The theory is based on the fact
that the orbit of the Earth around the Sun varies in three ways. All of the
variations are small, but, especially when they reinforce one another, they are
sufficient to cause significant redistributions of solar heating
between latitude belts or hemispheres. Because the hemispheres differ greatly
in surface properties and heat storage capacity, these orbitally caused
variations in the pattern of solar heating are capable of changing global
climate. The three modes of variation are the obliquity, or tilt, of
the Earth's axis, which varies with an average period of about 41,000 years;
the precession of the equinoxes, which refers to the movement of
perihelion (the point when the Earth is nearest to the Sun) around the path of
orbit and which varies with a period of roughly 22,000 years; and the
eccentricity of the orbit, varying with a period near 100,000 years. Elaborate
mathematical analysis of these parameters has made it possible to calculate the
corresponding changes in solar heating of the Earth over the past 750,000
years.
These calculations show, for example, that over the past 18,000 years the
amount of solar energy reaching the Earth in summer was concentrated in the
Northern Hemisphere, reaching a peak of 40 watts per square metre above 1950
values between 12,000 and 9,000 years ago. This corresponded to an 8 percent
increase in northern high-latitude summer heating, enough, it is believed, to
account for the wastage of the Fennoscandian and North American glaciers (only
Greenland's ice survives today). The winter cooling that compensated for the
extra summer heat (orbital changes produce such seesaw effects) was most
effective in the subtropical latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. After 9,000
BP these trends reversed, and the modern world has a solar heating pattern much
like that of the late Wisconsin maximum in 18,000 BP.
