Inversion of optical data to obtain a micrometeorological temperature profile
Abstract:
Optical data containing the relative positions of an observer, a target, and an image of the target are inverted with a set of nonlinear polynomial equations to obtain a temperature profile near the earth's surface. The temperature that is predicted at a specific height with the inversion of optical data is verified with a temperature that was measured with thermocouples when the optical data were collected. When the maximum uncertainty of +/-0.04 degrees C in the measured temperature is known, the largest difference between the measured temperature and the temperature obtained with the optical data is within +/-0.02 degrees C.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
