A new global, operational, high-resolution, combined sea surface temperature (SST) and ice analysis system (OSTIA) has been developed at the Met Office. The output is a daily, global coverage 1/20deg (~6 km) SST concentration product, which generated in near-real time. designed to meet needs of applications requiring high-resolution space-time scales including numerical weather prediction (NWP) operational ocean models prepare for future regional forecast systems.
Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), launched on 2 November 2009, is the first satellite mission addressing sea surface salinity (SSS) measurement from space. Its unique payload Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS), a new two-dimensional interferometer designed by European Space Agency (ESA) operating at L-band frequency. This article presents summary of SSS retrieval SMOS observations shows initial results obtained one year after launch. These are encouraging,...
It is shown here that if we assume what conserved in nature not simply mass-energy, but rather mass-energy plus the energy uncertainty of principle, and also position reduced by formation relativistic horizons, then resulting increase close to needed for a new model inertial mass (MiHsC, quantised inertia) which has been predict galaxy rotation without dark matter cosmic acceleration energy. The same principle can be used inverse square law gravity, predicts electron.
This paper proposes an explanation for the Pioneer anomaly: unexplained Sunward acceleration of 8.74 +/- 1.33 x 10^-10 m s^-2 seen in behaviour probes. Two hypotheses are made: (1) Inertia is a reaction to Unruh radiation and (2) this weaker low accelerations because some wavelengths spectrum do not fit within limiting scale (twice Hubble distance) disallowed: process similar Casimir effect. When these ideas used model crafts' trajectories there slight reduction their inertial mass, causing...
The flyby anomalies are unexplained velocity jumps of 3.9, -4.6, 13.5, -2, 1.8 and 0.02 mm/s observed near closest approach during the Earth flybys six spacecraft. These modelled here using a theory that assumes inertia is due to form Unruh radiation, varies with acceleration Hubble-scale Casimir effect. Considering craft relative every particle rotating Earth, predicts there slight reduction in inertial mass increasing latitude for an unbound craft, since pole it sees lower average...
The property of inertia has never been fully explained. A model for (MiHsC or quantised inertia) suggested that assumes 1) is due to Unruh radiation and 2) this subject a Hubble-scale Casimir effect. This no adjustable parameters predicts the cosmic acceleration, galaxy rotation without dark matter, suggesting indeed causes inertia, but exact mechanism by which it does not specified. here when an object accelerates, example right, dynamical (Rindler) event horizon forms its left, reducing on...
It has recently been observed that there are no disc galaxies with masses less than 10^9 M_solar and this cutoff not explained. is shown here minimum mass can be predicted using a model assumes 1) inertia due to Unruh radiation, 2) radiation subject Hubble-scale Casimir effect. The predicts as the acceleration of an object decreases, its inertial eventually decreases even faster stabilising at value, which close cosmic acceleration. When applied rotating same they have rotational...
It is shown here that a model for inertial mass, called quantised inertia, or MiHsC (Modified inertia by Hubble-scale Casimir effect) predicts the rotational acceleration of 153 good quality galaxies in SPARC dataset (2016 AJ 152 157), with large range scales and from just their visible baryonic matter, speed light co-moving diameter observable universe. No dark matter needed. The performance comparable to MoND, yet it needs no adjustable parameter. As further critical test, uniquely...
It has been proposed that inertia can be explained as follows: when objects accelerate in one direction, a Rindler horizon forms the other direction suppressing Unruh radiation on side and producing net pressure always opposes acceleration, just like inertia. So far, this model predicted masses over twice those expected. In paper, an error is corrected so its prediction improves to within 29% of expected Planck mass. also shown inertial mass may understood qualitatively by applying Carnot’s...
The visible mass of the observable universe agrees with that needed for a flat cosmos, and reason this is not known. It shown can be explained by modelling Hubble volume as black hole emits Hawking radiation inwards, disallowing wavelengths do fit exactly into diameter, since partial waves would allow an inference what lies outside horizon. This model “horizon wave censorship” equivalent to Hubble-scale Casimir effect. incomplete toy presented stimulate discussion. predicts minimum...
Truncated-cone–shaped cavities with microwaves resonating within them (emdrives) move slightly towards their narrow ends, in contradiction to standard physics. This effect has been predicted by a model called quantised inertia (MiHsC) which assumes that the of is caused Unruh radiation, more allowed at wide end. Therefore, photons going end gain inertia, and conserve momentum cavity must its end, as observed. A previous analysis controversial photon acceleration, shown here be unnecessary....
It has been shown that truncated cone-shaped cavities with microwaves resonating within them move slightly towards their narrow ends (the emdrive).Standard physics no explanation for this and an error not yet found.It is here eect can be predicted by assuming the inertial mass of photons in cavity caused Unruh radiation, whose wavelengths must t exactly cavity, using a theory already applied successfully to astrophysical anomalies such as galaxy rotation where waves have Hubble scale.In...
The Tajmar anomaly is an unexplained acceleration observed by gyroscopes close to, but isolated from, rotating rings cooled to 5K. ratio between the gyroscope and ring accelerations was 3+/-1.2*10^-8 for clockwise rotations about half this size anticlockwise ones. Here, predicted using a new model that assumes inertial mass of caused Unruh radiation appears as fixed stars accelerate relative it, subject Hubble-scale Casimir effect. predicts sudden causes slight increase in gyroscope, and,...
The Tajmar effect is an unexplained acceleration observed by accelerometers and laser gyroscopes close to rotating supercooled rings. ratio between the gyroscope ring accelerations was 3±1.2×10−8. Here, a new model for inertia which has been tested quite successfully on Pioneer flyby anomalies applied this problem. assumes that of caused Unruh radiation appears as fixed stars accelerate relative it, subject Hubble-scale Casimir effect. predicts sudden nearby causes slight increase in...
The flyby anomalies are unexplained velocity increases of 3.9, 13.5, 0.1 and 1.8 mm/s observed near closest approach during the Earth flybys Galileo, NEAR, Cassini Rosetta spacecraft. Here, these modelled using a theory that assumes inertia is caused by form Unruh radiation, modified Hubble-scale Casimir effect. This predicts when craft's accelerations relative to galactic centre approached zero approach, their inertial masses reduced for about 10^-7 s causing Earthward jumps 2.6, 1.2, 1.4...
Mesoscale eddies in the northeast North Atlantic were investigated using SeaSoar towed CTD and ADCP data from 1991 Vivaldi cruise. These cover an area of 1700 km × 1500 between 39° 54°N 35° 10°W. To maximize statistical significance, but retain possibility determining north–south gradients, statistics eddy quantities calculated separately for northern southern halves cruise area. The mean flow south is essentially zero; north dominated by Current (NAC) with a speed 6.5 cm s−1. kinetic energy...
Wide binary stars are within the low-acceleration regime in which galactic rotation curves deviate from Newtonian or general relativistic predictions. It has recently been observed that their rates similarly anomalous a way dark matter cannot explain, since it must be smooth on these small scales to fit galaxy curves. Here, is shown Newtonian/GR models predict wide binaries applied. also MoND systems. However, model assumes inertia due Unruh radiation made inhomogeneous space by horizons...
The Podkletnov effect is an unexplained loss of weight between 0.05% and 0.07% detected in test masses suspended above supercooled levitating superconducting discs exposed to AC magnetic fields. A larger up 0.5% was seen over a disc spun at 5000 rpm. has so far been observed only one laboratory. Here, new model for inertia that assumes inertial mass caused by Unruh radiation which subject Hubble-scale Casimir (called MiHsC or quantised inertia) applied this anomaly. When the field it...
