  • Measurement Units Style Guide a Writer’S Guide to the Correct Usage of Metric Measurement Units
    Measurement units style guide A writer’s guide to the correct usage of metric measurement units This guidance is based on British and internationally agreed standards and represents best practice. It gives advice on how to use and write metric units, mistakes to avoid, what to do about conversions, and where to find further information. A brief explanation of how the metric system works is also given. Some common units Basic rules name symbol Capitals and lower case millimetre mm Names of metric units, whether alone or combined with a prefix, always start with a lower case letter (except at centimetre cm length the beginning of a sentence) - e.g. metre, milligram, watt. metre m kilometre km The symbols for metric units are also written in lower case - except those that are named after persons - e.g. milligram mg m for metre, but W for watt (the unit of power, named after the Scottish engineer, James Watt). Note that this mass gram g rule applies even when the prefix symbol is in lower case, (weight) kilogram kg as in kW for kilowatt. The symbol for litre (L) is an exception. tonne t Symbols for prefixes meaning a million or more are square metre 2 m written in capitals, and those meaning a thousand or less area hectare ha are written in lower case - thus, mL for millilitre, kW for kilowatt, MJ for megajoule (the unit of energy). square kilometre km 2 Plurals millilitre mL or ml Symbols do not change and are never pluralised : 3 cubic centimetre cm 25 kg (but 25 kilograms) volume litre L or l cubic metre m3 Punctuation and spacing watt W Do not put a full stop (period) after a unit symbol (except power kilowatt kW at the end of a sentence).

  • Solar Decimetre Radio Bursts
    SOLAR DECIMETRE RADIO BURSTS By R. F. MULLALy*t and T. KRISHNAN* [Manuscript recewed September 20, 1962] Summary High resolution studies (2' of arc beam) were made with the east·west arm of the Christiansen radio interferometer for about 50 21·cm solar burst events during 1958-1961. The burst sources were always closely associated in position with already existing radio plage regions of the Sun's slowly varying decimetre radiation. They had sizes of from 2 to 5' of arc, never exceeded but often approached in size their parent plage region, and showed no major movements during their development. Brightness temperatures ranged up to 2 X 109 OK (mostly between 107 and 108 OK). More bursts were observed near the Sun's centre than near the limb, and more on the western than on the eastern half. There was also a curious "gap" of 30° longitude on the eastern half of the Sun with virtually no burst activity. 1. INTRODUCTION A solar decimetre radio burst is part of a complex of simultaneous or closely successive events which may extend from optical to metre wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, and sometimes involve the ejection of corpuscular streams. The characteristics of burst emission in different frequency ranges differ markedly. Further, in the same frequency range burst sources of different types may be distinguished. The basic observations required to delineate radio-frequency bursts comprise dynamic spectra, showing the variation in intensity of emission as a function of both frequency and time; and high resolution studies of the position, size, shape, movement, and brightness temperature of the emitting region.
