  2. Height above ground level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_above_ground_level

    In aviation, atmospheric sciences and broadcasting, a height above ground level (AGL [1] or HAGL) is a height measured with respect to the underlying ground surface.This is as opposed to height above mean sea level (AMSL or HAMSL), height above ellipsoid (HAE, as reported by a GPS receiver), or height above average terrain (AAT or HAAT, in broadcast engineering).

  3. Terminal aerodrome forecast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_aerodrome_forecast

    TAF indicates that the following is a terminal aerodrome forecast. This line may also indicate an amended forecast (TAF AMD) or a corrected forecast (TAF COR) [3] KXYZ indicates the airport to which the forecast applies (ICAO airport code). 051730Z indicates that the report was issued on the 5th of the month at 1730 UTC (also known as Zulu ...

  4. Moisture sensitivity level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sensitivity_level

    It relates to the packaging and handling precautions for some semiconductors. The MSL is an electronic standard for the time period in which a moisture sensitive device can be exposed to ambient room conditions (30 °C/85%RH at Level 1; 30 °C/60%RH at all other levels). Increasingly, semiconductors have been manufactured in smaller sizes.

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2, which is the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second, per second. Newton's law of universal gravitation – is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and ...

    1/2SM indicates the prevailing visibility is 12 mi (800 m) SM = statute mile. VCTS indicates a thunderstorm (TS) in the vicinity (VC), which means from 5–10 mi (8–16 km). SN indicates snow is falling at a moderate intensity; a preceding plus or minus sign (+/-) indicates heavy or light precipitation.

  7. Tantalum(V) fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum(V)_fluoride

    Indeed, TaF 5 reacts with fluoride sources to give the ions [TaF 6] −, [TaF 7] 2−, and [TaF 8] 3−. With neutral Lewis bases, such as diethyl ether TaF 5 forms adducts. TaF 5 is used in combination with HF as a catalyst for the alkylation of alkanes and alkenes and for the protonation of aromatic compounds. The TaF

  8. Taft equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft_equation

    The Taft equation is a linear free energy relationship (LFER) used in physical organic chemistry in the study of reaction mechanisms and in the development of quantitative structure–activity relationships for organic compounds. It was developed by Robert W. Taft in 1952 [2] [3] [4] as a modification to the Hammett equation. [5]

    The difference was real. Accordingly, it was decided not to use average MSL and fix on one site: MSL Newlyn. Newlyn has certain practical advantages: it is set in granite bedrock, is far from major rivers, and it better represents deep ocean sea levels. The difference between ODL (Liverpool) and ODN (Newlyn) was found to be 0.13 feet.
