RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ... The provisional daily Zurich relative sunspot numbers, Rz, were based upon observations made at Zurich and its two branch stations in Arosa and Locarno and communicated by M. Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

... Research objects and scientific purposes . Space scientific program includes development and launch of two supersmall spacecrafts "Universitetskiy" and "Kompas-2" intended for monitoring of radiation conditions near the Earth. ... All the studies conducted in the near-Earth space are characterised by strong radiation fields. ... The circular polar orbits, which cover all the near-Earth space, are the most favorable for comprehensive studies of the radiation conditions near the Earth. ...

... ADS doc The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) is a radio survey made with the WSRT at wavelengths 92 and 49 cm. At 92 cm the entire sky above declination 30 degrees is covered. ... To move grating rings of the map 6 different baseline settings are used, so 1 mosaic data block involves 72 hours of observational data. ... As a result the final catalogue will consist of 300,000 sources at 92 cm and 60,000 at 49 cm. ... With the WSRT high quality wide field polarization maps can be made. ...

Large sunspots were occasionally seen far in the past without any instruments, when the sun was dimmed by thick haze, but not much was remembered of those observations. ... Sunspot Cycle (1850 - 1975) . One who was greatly influenced by Schwabe's discovery was an English gentleman of independent means, Richard Christopher Carrington , who devoted himself to the study of sunspots. ... Carrington had seen a flare, of the rare variety that is visible in white light (only about 50 are known). ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...
