  • Though not all rough surfaces are Lambertian, this is often a good approximation, and is frequently used when the characteristics of the surface are unknown.
    Lambertian reflectance
  • reflected radiant intensity obeys Lambert's cosine law, which makes the reflected radiance the same in all directions.
    Lambertian reflectance
  • NEATM models an asteroid as a perfect Lambertian non-rotating sphere which is heated by the Sun. Because the sphere is not rotating, the night side of the asteroid is treated as having no emission at all. Clearly these are an idealized set of assumptions, which the model acknowledges by introducing an additional parameter called “Beaming”, a catch-all correction scaling factor to allow the model to adjust for the surface properties, rotation effects, and geometry.

  • the Northern Hemisphere and mid-latitude ozone is predicted to recover by around 2030, followed by the Southern Hemisphere around 2050, and polar regions by 2060.
    ESA - Unusual ozone hole opens over the Arctic
  • The ozone hole is driven by extremely cold temperatures (below -80°C), sunlight, wind fields and substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
    ESA - Unusual ozone hole opens over the Arctic
  • The ozone hole we observe over the Arctic this year has a maximum extension of less than 1 million sq km. This is small compared to the Antarctic hole, which can reach a size of around 20 to 25 million sq km with a normal duration of around 3 to 4 months.

  • BASE-STEP is small enough to be loaded onto a truck and fit through ordinary laboratory doors, and it can withstand the bumps and vibrations of transport. The current apparatus – which includes a superconducting magnet, liquid helium cryogenic cooling, power reserves and a vacuum chamber that traps the antiparticles using magnetic and electric fields – weighs 1000 kilograms: much more compact than BASE or any other existing system used to study antimatter.
