Oatley and his students used SEM to develop a variety of new techniques for studying surface topography.
12.
The main purpose to measure ocean surface topography is to understand the large-scale circulation of the ocean.
13.
Ocean surface topography is specifically the distance between the height of the ocean surface from the geoid.
14.
As long as the tip is in contact with the sample, the deflection then corresponds to surface topography.
15.
It will be followed by the Ocean Surface Topography Mission on Jason-2 and by a planned future Jason-3
16.
This applies to the solid surface, the liquid surface ( dynamic sea surface topography ) and the Earth's atmosphere.
17.
Incorporating surface topography into Ion Beam Analysis technique, a reliable characterization of layers of a surface can be obtained.
18.
TOPEX / Poseidon's follow-on mission, Jason-1, was launched in 2001 to continue the ongoing measurements of sea surface topography.
19.
However, since 1992, a series of satellite Grace mission, scientists can determine sea surface topography to within a few centimeters.
20.
Scanning and mathematically calculating the stump surface topography has accuracy limitations, as does milling by computer-numeric-control ( CNC ) machines.
