  2. Probability of precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_of_precipitation

    The hourly PoP is the probability that more than 0.01 inches (0.25 mm) of precipitation would occur if conditions like those in the given hour continued for twelve hours. It can be similar to the daily PoP and vary little, or it can vary dramatically. the daily PoP will be the average of the hourly PoP across the whole day.

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of one degree. [1] Since one degree is ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is ⁠ 1 / 21 600 ⁠ of a turn.

  4. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

    0.01–20 mm dial indicator. Probe indicators typically consist of a graduated dial and needle driven by a clockwork (thus the clock terminology) to record the minor increments, with a smaller embedded clock face and needle to record the number of needle rotations on the main dial. The dial has fine gradations for precise measurement.

    ⁠ 20 mm / 50 m ⁠ = 0.4 mrad, or 4 clicks with a ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad adjustment scope. ⁠ 50 mm / 1000 m ⁠ = 0.05 mrad, or 1 click with a 0.05 mrad adjustment scope. In firearm optics, where 0.1 mrad per click is the most common mrad based adjustment value, another common rule of thumb is that an adjustment of ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad changes ...

  6. Quantitative precipitation forecast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_precipitation...

    A QPF will be created when precipitation amounts reaching a minimum threshold are expected during the forecast's valid period. Valid periods of precipitation forecasts are normally synoptic hours such as 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 GMT. Terrain is considered in QPFs by use of topography or based upon climatological precipitation patterns from ...

  8. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    Bits at size increments of 1 mm are most commonly available, and lowest price. Sets of bits in 1 mm increments might be found on a market stall. In 0.5 mm increments, any hardware store. In 0.1 mm increments, any engineers' store. Sets are not commonly available in smaller size increments, except for drill bits below 1 mm diameter.

  9. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    A 100 mm focal length f /4 lens has an entrance pupil diameter of 25 mm. A 100 mm focal length f /2 lens has an entrance pupil diameter of 50 mm. Since the area is proportional to the square of the pupil diameter, [6] the amount of light admitted by the f /2 lens is four times that of the f /4 lens.
