Older versions of QGIS can be accessed at the below links. We recommend thelatest version of QGIS (see instructions above) but the below links might beuseful if you have a specific need for accessing an older version of QGIS(for example if you need to install an older version of ).
Older versions of the IGRF models may be downloaded from this page. If you are looking for a model of the geomagnetic field since 1900, you should use the latest IGRF-13 model which is updated retrospectively. However, older versions of the IGRF may be required in special cases. For example, if a magnetic survey was conducted in 1983, the appropriate predictive IGRF-3 (available at that time) would have been subtracted to make an anomaly map. If the original data are no longer available to update the MAP, one has to add the IGRF-3 to the anomaly map and then subtract IGRF-13 which includes the required definitive DGRF model for the period 1980-1985.
The IGRF is a series of mathematical models of the Earth's main field and its annual rate of change (secular variation). The 13 th Generation IGRF coefficients were computed from candidate sets of coefficients produced by the participating members of IAGA Working Group V-MOD. Their institutes and the many organisations involved in operating magnetic survey satellites, observatories, magnetic survey programmes and World Data Centers are to be thanked for their continuing support of the IGRF project.
With the release of MVRsimulation VRSG version 7, we no longer sell or distribute earlier versions of VRSG. We no longer provide maintenance and technical support for VRSG versions 3, 4, 5, or for the retired software products WorldPerfect and Metadesic Compiler. The warranty period for the older versions of these software products has long expired.
Flat-earth .mdx terrain that was distributed with legacy versions of VRSG or WorldPerfect are not compatible with any VRSG version 7 software. VRSG version 7 supports round-earth .mds formatted terrain only. All .mdx flat-earth terrain databases created with WorldPerfect are not supported in any version of VRSG version 7. All .mds round-earth terrain created with version 2 of Metadesic Compiler can be rendered with any VRSG version 7 software license.
Dissatisfaction with the 2011 English Roman Missal translation continues. Some communities, as I predicted, only ever say the Apostles Creed (a novelty), not having the stomach for the new translation of the Nicene one.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty.
Maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages.
Light of Light; true God of true God;
begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven,
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man.
And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered, and was buried
and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
The Orthodox do not have two versions; we have twenty, thirty, fifty or more. While there is a single version in Greek, and a single translation into Slavonic, every Tom, Dick and Harry has made his own translation into English, some of them very poor, and in some places no two parishes use the same English version.
But very often those who decide which English translation to use do not speak English as their first language, but try to foist poor translations on English-speaking people. The Roman Catholics who see problems with different translations should consider themselves fortunate.
What do you think about the line about Jesus descending to hell for three days in the latest Catholic creed. I struggle with it and would dearly like to know where & why we should believe this. I am with Tom in struggling with changing a creed that I and and that I and my ancestors for several generations grew up with. That has been essentially the same for hundreds of years.
The translators for the King James Bible spoke Latin, but understood that plain English words would ring out in a way Latinate ones would not. So they did not turn away from plain English for longer borrowings from French and Latin. They did not invent high sounding Latinate words. The power of their version lies in this. Those who rewrote the Nicene Creed missed this music and the power of tradition, of saying words now that we said beside elders lost and still with us. I will always struggle to be concerebral with their multisyllabic missteps. They reinvented the wheel and left it less smooth, less moving.
We are happy to report that AERONET data are now visible on NASA's Worldview application. This open source code app from the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) provides the capability to interactively browse over 1000 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and then download the underlying data. Many of the imagery layers are updated daily and are available within three hours of observation. Four of those layers represent AERONET's Aerosol Optical Depth 500nm (Near Real-Time and Daily) and Angstrom Parameter 440-870nm (Near Real-Time and Daily) data.
Dear AERONET colleagues, partners, and data users. On May 8th, 2024, the AERONET system will be upgraded from CentOS 7 to Oracle Linux 8. This means that the server, including website and relational database, will be down for most of the work day while we are migrating and synchronizing our data. Note that instruments will still be operational and we do not expect any data loss. We appreciate your patience!
The exchange will bring together the global AERONET community to discuss and collaborate on topics related to the AERONET system. Such topics include, scientific development, data products, instrument calibration, research and application. This is also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate AERONET's 30 years of success in atmospheric aerosol measurements. We will have a mix of invited talks, contributed talks, and poster presentations, as well as ample opportunity for networking.
We are thrilled to release our inaugural newsletter that covers most of 2023, with each following edition being released on a quarterly basis. This past year was a very exciting one for our team, filled with productive meetings and workshops, instrument and data upgrades, an abundance of new sites, and improvements to our data exploration and data download tools.
All newsletters will be stored in an archive found in the publications section of our webpage. In the future, we will explore ways to deliver the newsletter in a more user-friendly and interactive way, such as embedding it directly into an email with full button and hyperlink functionality. We appreciate your patience and support to the AERONET project!
AERONET is dedicated to high quality aerosol measurements around the world. One of the major reasons for AERONET success is standardization of instrumentation and calibration. Since 2016 CIMEL Electronique introduced a new version of the instruments deployed within AERONET: CE318-T Sun Sky Lunar photometer. This version has a number of advantages over the previous versions:
Please note that older versions are not supported by CIMEL (both from parts and firmware). A lot of older version parts are obsolete and there is no way to add new measurements to the older version firmware. Calibration of the older versions is more labor intensive and time consuming. New developments within the network will not be transferable to the old versions.
There are two options for the upgrade (contact CIMEL for details):
1. Purchase a totally new instrument (preferred solution for all old versions)
2. For digital versions (v5): replace sensor head, controller unit, and sensor head cable to bring the instrument to the same standards optically. Upgrade the robot at a later time.
The 2023 Canadian wildfires, which started at the beginning of March and peaked during the month of June, have released massive amounts of aerosols and gases in the atmosphere that darkened the skies of major cities in eastern North America, such as Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, and Montreal. The AERONET network in North America is monitoring and making continuous measurements of atmospheric aerosols, which can help understand their influence on local and regional air quality and their longer-term impact on climate. AERONET maintains a wide array of evenly distributed sun photometer sites with instruments that record optical depths and publish those measurements in near real-time. The animated map shows the daily average aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 500 nm from June 26th to July 2nd, 2023, measured across AERONET sites in the contiguous United States and southern Canada.
Some of the characters have their own pages (like Sea King from Earth-3) and some others are represented by the first issue they apear in or an issue which depicts them on the cover (like the Injustice Aquaman) .
List includes characters throughout DC's history including the Earths presented in Grant Morrison's Map of the Multiverse, Elseworlds, future timelines and different mediums such as animated versions, video games, etc.
Note pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths a different version of Earth-2 Aquaman existed, that fought during World War 2 and wore an outfit similar to the main Aquaman but with characteristic yellow gloves instead of green ones.
