    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome_(public_artwork)

    On September 19, 2020, Metronome became a climate clock as it started showing the time remaining until the Earth's carbon budget is used up as a result of concerns related to global warming above the 1.5°C threshold that was outlined in the Paris Agreement. The fifteen digits counted down the years (1 digit), days (3 digits), hours (2 digits ...

  3. Climate Clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_Clock

    Metronome in November 2020, after the original clock was replaced with the Climate Clock. The Climate Clock is a graphic to demonstrate how quickly the planet is approaching 1.5 °C of global warming, given current emissions trends. [1] It also shows the amount of CO 2 already emitted, and the global warming to date.

    Weather stations typically have these following instruments: . Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature; Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure; Hygrometer for measuring humidity

  5. Metronome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome

    A mechanical metronome does not need an electric battery, but runs from a spring-wound clockwork escapement. [1] For uniform beats, the metronome should be placed on a hard, level, unmoving surface, and away from any strong magnets. Small variations in pendulum speed can also result from differences in temperature, air pressure, or gravity. [9]

  6. Tipping points in the climate system - Wikipedia

    For the climate system, the term refers to a critical threshold at which global or regional climate changes from one stable state to another stable state.". [15] In ecosystems and in social systems, a tipping point can trigger a regime shift, a major systems reorganisation into a new stable state. [16] Such regime shifts need not be harmful.

    500 million years of climate change Ice core data for the past 400,000 years, with the present at right. Note length of glacial cycles averages ~100,000 years. Blue curve is temperature, green curve is CO 2, and red curve is windblown glacial dust (loess).

  8. Clock signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_signal

    Clock signal and legend. In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal (historically also known as logic beat) [1] is an electronic logic signal (voltage or current) which oscillates between a high and a low state at a constant frequency and is used like a metronome to synchronize actions of digital circuits.

  9. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    Standard-quality 32 768 Hz resonators of this type are warranted to have a long-term accuracy of about six parts per million (0.0006%) at 31 °C (87.8 °F): that is, a typical quartz clock or wristwatch will gain or lose 15 seconds per 30 days (within a normal temperature range of 5 to 35 °C or 41 to 95 °F) or less than a half second clock ...
