• Hank Roberts Says: 26 March 2007 at 5:03 PM It occurs to me to wonder if this “no average” nonsense is a preemptive strike against pulling Triana /DSCOVR out of the warehouse and getting it launched. Ike’s link is useful as a reminder, it’s one missing piece of the instrumentation we know would help understand what’s up on Earth. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5134022.stm It would give us the same view of Earth we have of other planets for which temperatures are reported — by viewing the whole visible surface of the planet, instead of by looking at lots of local thermometers, over time. It, from everything we know, would also be immensely popular as a video feed source. People _like_ watching Earth, a _lot_. Ask any astronaut. • Jim Dukelow Says: 26 March 2007 at 5:28 PM Re #70, Mitch Golden wrote: “This all is well known in the mathematical study called “real analysis”.
