  2. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    As an approximation, the roughness length is approximately one-tenth of the height of the surface roughness elements. For example, short grass of height 0.01 meters has a roughness length of approximately 0.001 meters. Surfaces are rougher if they have more protrusions. Forests have much larger roughness lengths than tundra, for example.

  3. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The wind profile power law relationship is = where is the wind speed (in metres per second) at height (in metres), and is the known wind speed at a reference height .The exponent is an empirically derived coefficient that varies dependent upon the stability of the atmosphere.

  4. Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration

    Peak ground acceleration can be expressed in fractions of g (the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity, equivalent to g-force) as either a decimal or percentage; in m/s 2 (1 g = 9.81 m/s 2); [7] or in multiples of Gal, where 1 Gal is equal to 0.01 m/s 2 (1 g = 981 Gal).

  5. Magnitude of eclipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_of_eclipse

    This applies to all celestial eclipses. The magnitude of a partial or annular solar eclipse is always between 0.0 and 1.0, while the magnitude of a total solar eclipse is always greater than or equal to 1.0, and has a theoretically maximum value of around 1.12.

  6. Sweet potato - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato

    The leaves are mostly green in color, but the accumulation of anthocyanins, especially along the leaf veins, can make them purple. Depending on the variety, the total length of a stem can be between 0.5 and 4 metres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 and 13 feet). Some cultivars also form shoots up to 16 m (52 ft) in length. However, these do not form underground ...

  7. List of electronic component packaging types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic...

    Micro ball grid array : Ball spacing less than 1 mm; Thin fine-pitch ball grid array : A square or rectangular array of solder balls on one surface, ball spacing typically 0.5 mm; Land grid array (LGA): An array of bare lands only. Similar to in appearance to QFN, but mating is by spring pins within a socket rather than solder.

  8. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    It was once expected that any icy body larger than approximately 200 km in radius was likely to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (HE). [7] However, Ceres (r = 470 km) is the smallest body for which detailed measurements are consistent with hydrostatic equilibrium, [ 8 ] whereas Iapetus (r = 735 km) is the largest icy body that has been found to ...

  9. Heritability of IQ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ

    Various studies have estimated the heritability of IQ to be between 0.7 and 0.8 in adults and 0.45 in childhood in the United States. [15] [12] [39] It has been found that estimates of heritability increase as individuals age.
