  2. Slowness (seismology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowness_(seismology)

    Slowness (s) is a quantity introduced in Seismology which is the reciprocal of velocity. Thus travel time of a wave is the distance that the wave travels times the slowness of the medium ( in seismology, it refers to different layers of Earth exhibiting different densities ) Thus,

  5. Stoneley wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneley_wave

    When found at a liquid-solid interface, this wave is also referred to as a Scholte wave. [3] The wave is of maximum intensity at the interface and decreases exponentially away from it. It is named after the British seismologist Dr. Robert Stoneley (1894–1976), a lecturer in the University of Leeds, who discovered it on October 1, 1924. [4]

    A user will input a number and the Calculator will use an algorithm to search for and calculate closed-form expressions or suitable functions that have roots near this number. Hence, the calculator is of great importance for those working in numerical areas of experimental mathematics. The ISC contains 54 million mathematical constants. Plouffe ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossby_number

    For example, in tornadoes, the Rossby number is large (≈ 10 3), in low-pressure systems it is low (≈ 0.1–1), and in oceanic systems it is of the order of unity, but depending on the phenomena can range over several orders of magnitude (≈ 10 −2 –10 2). [4]
