  2. Microwave Ionosphere Nonlinear Interaction Experiment

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_Ionosphere...

    The Microwave Ionosphere Nonlinear Interaction Experiment (MINIX) is a sounding rocket experiment launched by Japan on 29 August 1983. [1] Its purpose was to study the effects of Microwave energy in the Ionosphere , and to study high-power microwave technology for use in a Space-based solar power satellite.

    Microwave-specific effects tend not to be controversial and invoke "conventional" explanations (i.e. kinetic effects) for the observed effects. [19] Non-thermal microwave effects have been proposed in order to explain unusual observations in microwave chemistry. As the name suggests, the effects are supposed not to require the transfer of ...

    Usually the experimental scan strategy is designed to minimize the effect of such noise. [7] To minimize side lobes , microwave optics usually utilize elaborate lenses and feed horns . Finally, in ground-based (and, to an extent, balloon-based) instruments, water and oxygen in the atmosphere emit and absorb microwave radiation.

    All public schools and many private schools in Bangladesh follow the curriculum of NCTB. Starting in 2010, every year free books are distributed to students between Grade-1 to Grade-10 to eliminate illiteracy. [6] These books comprise most of the curricula of the majority of Bangladeshi schools. There are two versions of the curriculum.

  6. Spider (polarimeter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_(polarimeter)

    Spider is a balloon-borne experiment designed to search for primordial gravitational waves imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Measuring the strength of this signal puts limits on inflationary theory. The Spider experiment hanging from the launch vehicle prior to its first flight over Antarctica.

    The greenhouse effect is visible as the area of the upper red area, and the greenhouse effect associated with CO 2 is directly visible as the large dip near the center of the OLR spectrum. [ 26 ] The reduction of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), relative to longwave radiation emitted by the surface, is at the heart of the greenhouse effect .

  8. Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunyaev–Zeldovich_effect

    The Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect (named after Rashid Sunyaev and Yakov B. Zeldovich and often abbreviated as the SZ effect) is the spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through inverse Compton scattering by high-energy electrons in galaxy clusters, in which the low-energy CMB photons receive an average energy boost during collision with the high-energy cluster electrons.

    On these spacecraft, AMSU-B is replaced by similar microwave humidity sounders: HSB for Aqua and MHS for MetOp. The AMSU was an improvement of the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU), incorporating capabilities of the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU), both of which had flown on TIROS -N in 1978 and continued on the NOAA-6 through NOAA-14 satellites.
