MAKING THE PROFILES . First of all you are expected to load a FITS file ("FILE"-"LOAD"). ... By pressing the middle button you copy the profile from the first profile window to the second one. ... An example: first integral can correspond to the profile of active region and second integral can correspond to the profile of quiet chromospheric region. ... The second profile (which is subtracted from the first one) you extract after clicking on "SUBTRACT"-"MARK QUIET PROFILE" and marking the region. ...

... In order to disentangle the effects of different climate variables on tree-ring growth rates of different species, and to explore the possibility that more than one species could improve the accuracy of the reconstructions of climate using tree rings, a methodical study of trees in close proximity to the Armagh Observatory climate station was initiated together with Ana Maria Garc?a Su?rez, and continued as part of the latter's PhD thesis with John Butler and Professor Mike Baillie (QUB). ...
