    Note the white purified camphor on the cold finger, and the dark-brown crude product. Dark green crystals of nickelocene , freshly sublimed on the cold finger of the sublimation apparatus. A typical sublimation apparatus separates a mix of appropriate solid materials in a vessel in which it applies heat under a controllable atmosphere (air ...

    The sublimated material collects (5) on the cold finger proper, cooled by a coolant (blue) circulated through ports 1 and 2. A cold finger is a piece of laboratory equipment that is used to generate a localized cold surface. It is named for its resemblance to a finger and is a type of cold trap. The device usually consists of a chamber that a ...

    The following processes have the corresponding results: smooth—deposition without wind; wavy—wind deposited snow; concave furrows—melt and sublimation; convex furrows—rain or melt; random furrows—erosion. Snow covered area (SCA) describes the extent of snow-covered ground, usually expressed as a fraction (%) of the total.

    FitzRoy carefully documented his claims on how the storm glass would predict the weather: [3] [failed verification] A catalogue of storm glasses c. 1863. If the liquid in the glass is clear, the weather will be bright and clear. If the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be cloudy as well, perhaps with precipitation.
