16 Number Meaning

[Germaine Greenweig]

Unwrappingis an iterative process, even running it twice with identical configuration can lead to differences because of the random seeding component.

Tiles help to reduce unwrapping errors, but the edges need high overlap to be merged seamlessly.

Have you seen this explanation: SNAPHU Unwrapping - #421 by ABraun

With the tile option, it runs the SNAPHU optimization on each tile separately, which uses less memory and time than doing the optimization on the full interferogram. At the end, it takes the unwrapped phase from each tile and uses the overlap with adjacent tiles to estimate an overall offset for each tile relative to the other tiles and prepare a final unwrapped phase for the full interferogram.

At the end, it takes the unwrapped phase from each tile and uses the overlap with adjacent tiles to estimate an overall offset for each tile relative to the other tiles and prepare a final unwrapped phase for the full interferogram.

Overlap is the number of pixels at the edge of each tile which are added beyond the size of the tile. This is indicated by the red square in my example which is larger and contains part of th enext tile. This increases the chance that the transition between two tiles is smooth and seamless instead of creating phase jumps.

No tiles (1x1) means no overlap is needed, but the more complex your topography, the higher is the chance that unwrapping a large raster becomes unsolvable. The fringes are integrated iteratively during the unwrapping and sometimes this creates errors. If your computer manages to unwrap a single tile (1x1) and the result looks file (you have to tell if you are happy with it), even better.

But creating tiles makes sense for computers with less capacities and complex topography because the chance of errors for small rasters is reduced.

Imagine what unwrapping does: the continuous (ambiguous) phase signal is converted to an absolute surface. The algorithm has to start at one point and eventually gets back to until the entire raster is unwrapped. Depending on the shape of fringes, the amount of noise, and the size of the rasters, this can lead to problems or unwanted trends. Unwrapping small tiles reduces the chance that errors add up over the entire raster. In the end, these tiles are merged together and the overlap areas help to make this without seamlines.

The mean of a set of numbers in a data set is obtained by adding up all the numbers then dividing by the size of the data set. When people use the word 'average' in everyday conversation, they are usually referring to the mean.

If (which is unusual) we have information for the entire population, we use the term population mean for, as you would expect, the mean of the entire population. We represent the population mean by $\mu$. If we have data for the entire population, we can calculate it in the same way: \[\mu = \frac1N \sum\limits_i=1^N x_i\]

So I had a customer in the Outback Toys showroom last year I think on a Saturday. He was tellining me that the reasoning behind the model number designations of the IH tractors in the 06 series up the the 86 series or so was their HP settings and # of cylinders.

Whether it was the "26" series, or the "56" series or the "66/68" series, I have always been told that the first numbers gave the horsepower range of the tractor, but not necessarily the exact horsepower.

I always just figured that the last digit signified number of cylinders, next to last digit the series, and the first one or two digits gave the rough hp range, except for the 41, 43, etc. 4 wheelers. For the 340 through 660, and 06 through 86 series, of course.

I guess its a good thing it was a 1566 as later when caseih made the 1600 series combines they had a 1666 so that would be confusing lol. But they did it now with the 7120 Magnum tunred to a big combine, and the 5088 tractor turned combine as well lol.

From what I've been told by someone close to the Canadian side of the company in the late 1960's, is that the numbering system was put together by a marketing committee full of experts at IH in Chicago. They went through a process to come up with a series model numbers based on several factors. This fellow didn't know what each and every factor was, but he did know that one of them was the "sound" of the number, and if it was 'catchy' or sounded 'strong' etc - the psychological factor. He never mentioned any link of the number to HP or engine size, but who knows. I'll have to ask him again one day to see if his memory recalls anything else.....

The Industrial Revolution transformed the textile industry in England. This engraving by Edward Goodall (1795-1870), originally titled "Manchester, from Kersal Moor," after a painting of W. Wylde, shows numerous industrial chimneys in the town of Manchester, England, which earned the nickname "Cottonopolis," following its transformation. Image in the public domain, from Wikimedia.

When you read or hear climate numbers, they are often being compared to average. The September 2023 NOAA global surface temperatures, for instance, were 1.44 degrees Celsius above average. That average represents a defined period of time. In this case, September was 1.44C warmer than the average September of the twentieth century.

How far the global temperature is above average depends on how you define average. For NOAA's global temperature dataset, "pre-industrial" is defined as the period from 1850-1900. For routine monthly reports, NOAA compares monthly temperatures to the 20th-century average. NOAA Climate.gov graph, based on data from NCEI.

Suffice to say, there are a lot of ways of measuring temperatures. And THEN there are different ways of combining those observations into a global dataset. (Despite these differences, all major temperature records show a similar long-term warming trend.) When NOAA releases the latest monthly climate statistics, it uses the NOAA Global Surface Temperature (NOAAGlobalTemp) dataset which blends in-ocean sea surface temperatures and 2-meter air temperatures.

The relevance of this temperature threshold was explored even more in the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C. In that report, and further supported by subsequent IPCC reports and other scientific literature, they found that limiting global warming to 1.5C will reduce the impacts on human systems and terrestrial, freshwater and coastal ecosystems. It made clear that every increment of global warming above 1.5C matters for the scope and magnitude of these impacts.

Remember, passing this threshold as defined in the Paris Agreement is supposed to reflect when human-caused global warming consistently exceeds 1.5C compared to pre-industrial times. That is NOT simply when average global temperatures pass that mark on any given day, month, or even year. To know when Earth has passed that threshold, we have to look at longer timescales.

Human-induced warming (blue shading) reached approximately 1C above pre-industrial levels in 2017. At the present rate, global temperatures would reach 1.5C around 2040. Stylized 1.5C pathway shown here (green shading) involves emission reductions beginning immediately, and CO2 emissions reaching zero by 2055. Graphic appears in FAQ 1.2 in the Frequently Asked Questions supplement to the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C.

Instead, we need to average the temperature anomalies over a period of time like 20 to 30 years. Averaging helps to smooth away any of the rough edges caused by natural warming factors and better reveals the long-term trend. That is why it can be said at the same time that global temperatures have reached 1.1C above the pre-industrial in 2011-2020 (according to the IPCC 6th assessment report), and that global temperatures in September 2023 were 1.5C above the pre-industrial.

It's also important to note that the Paris Agreement does not specify how many years should make up this long-term trend, which dataset should be used, and which time period makes up the pre-industrial period. That means different scientists, governments and groups might come to different conclusions about when Earth passes this critical threshold.

Absolutely not. Millions of people globally are already experiencing impacts of climate change in the form of extreme temperatures, heavy rains, flooding, and more. The 1.5C climate threshold is not a light switch that turns on all sorts of climate calamities. For every little bit of additional warming, the risk of negative impacts gets worse.

Temperature change is not uniform across the globe. Projected changes are shown for the average temperature of the annual hottest day (top) and the annual coldest night (bottom) with 1.5C of global warming (left) and 2C of global warming (right) compared to pre-industrial levels. Graphic appears in FAQ 3.1 in the Frequently Asked Questions supplement to the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C.

The 1.5C limit is sort of like a highway speed limit. Backed by plenty of science about the dangers of speeding, we know that every bit of additional speed increases the danger of an accident. There is no single speed below which the risks are zero and above which (within reason) an accident is guaranteed to occur or to be deadly. Still, we pick a limit beyond which the risks become larger than we are willing to tolerate. (Footnote 3)

Looking at what models predict for the near term (next 9 months), monthly global temperatures look to remain quite warm through the beginning of 2024 before beginning to fall from that perch as the calendar shifts into spring. This is consistent with how we know El Nio impacts global temperatures; this period coincides with the forecasted weakening of the current El Nio. (Footnote 4)
