According to the Big Bang model, the radiation from the sky we measure today comes from a spherical surface called the surface of last scattering .

Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth.

For example, gravity measurements are used to obtain a model of the density profile under the surface.

Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, which covers up to 70 of its land surface.

Along with their associated islands, they cover 8.3 of the Earth's total surface area (28.4 of its land area).

Agriculture covers approximately one third of the world's land surface and farmers are the largest group of ecosystem managers.

Agriculture covers approximately one third of the world's land surface and farmers are the largest group of ecosystem managers.

The mission itself featured a fleet of ten spacecraft with a combined crew of 70 heading to Mars, bringing three winged surface excursion ships that would land horizontally on the surface of Mars.

Identifying Land Use Land Cover (LULC) Using National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) Data as a Hydrologic Model Input for Local Flood Plain Management.

DLR has tested an experimental sensor, the Bi spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD), which is useful for monitoring fires and land surface.

The producer model, which worked brilliantly for 30 years, cannot take China to the promised land of prosperity.

When the postwar suburbs were first built out on the cheap land away from downtown, it made sense to just build surface parking lots.

Hydrometeorology is a branch of meteorology and hydrology that studies the transfer of water and energy between the land surface and the lower atmosphere.

This model was used for slum and mill land redevelopment across the city, and across India as a whole.

From mid summer 2004 through mid summer 2008, the land surface within the caldera moved upward as much as at the White Lake GPS station.

Similar to surface tension, adsorption is a consequence of surface energy.

Parts and components of liquid propellant surface to air missiles can also be reused in a surface to surface role, like the liquid propellant engines of the SA 2 missiles used in the Samoud 2 surface to surface missiles.

Given a model of the density, the gravity measurements at the surface can be predicted but in an inverse problem the gravity measurements are known and the density must be inferred.

North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 4.8 of the planet's surface or about 16.5 of its land area.

Much of the population engages in subsistence farming, even though only 10.71 of the country's surface is classified as arable land and 0.13 has permanent crops.

When it landed on the Venusian surface, it became the first spacecraft to land successfully on another planet, and to transmit data from there back to Earth.

The role of snow cover in modulating the monsoon is just one example of a short term cryosphere climate feedback involving the land surface and the atmosphere.

During the Pleistocene Epoch, continental ice sheets depressed the land surface (see Hudson Bay), scooped out thousands of lake basins, and carried away much of the region's soil.

The total surface of land under cultivation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 2.5 million hectares, or 50 per cent of the country's territory there is 0.7 hectares per capita.

The overall surface of agricultural land in Bosnia and Herzegovina is about 2.5 million hectares, i.e. about 50 per cent of the country's territory, or 0.7 hectares per capita.

For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

The current economic growth model considers the configuration of key factors of production land, labor, capital, and total factor productivity (a measure of efficiency).

The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

Finally, surface temperature is used.

They shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through, those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it after the end of seven months shall they search.

The surface of the land area administered by the Herdsmen's Committee is approximately 248,000 hectares, of which some 16,100 hectares of forests (about 6 per cent of the land areas administered by the Committee) are used for the purposes of forestry on State owned lands.

The biosphere is the part of Earth's outer shell including land, surface rocks, water, air and the atmosphere within which life occurs, and which biotic processes in turn alter or transform.

Six thousand kilometers below the surface, the planet s core is as hot as the surface of the sun.

The energy of the laser heats the surface of the pellet into a plasma, which explodes off the surface.

Air and Surface Movement Control Unit

Well, the surface of the spray coating is actually filled with nanoparticles that form a very rough and craggly surface.

When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface.

And then for the damaged arthritis on the surface, we did a stem cell paste graft, which we designed in 1991, to regrow that articular cartilage surface and give it back a smooth surface there.

This utilises a property of and other materials specifically that a thin layer of gold on a high refractive index glass surface can absorb laser light, producing electron waves (surface plasmons) on the gold surface.

It generally involves making marks on a surface by applying pressure from a tool, or moving a tool across a surface.

The model was offered through the 1973 model year.

Single surface products. Furniture's a good one.
