Version 2.1 ANSWER KEY Related Issues • Time Zones Acronyms: It is important to remember to add or subtract an hour if it is Daylight Saving Time (Hawaii and parts of Arizona and Indiana do not use daylight saving time). Here are the acronyms referred to above. Standard Time Daylight Saving Time EST - Eastern Standard Time EDT - Eastern Daylight Time CST - Central Standard Time CDT - Central Daylight Time MST - Mountain Standard Time MDT - Mountain Daylight Time PST - Pacific Standard Time PDT - Pacific Daylight Time • Time Zone Names: Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is often expressed in three different ways: Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Zulu (Z, this is also the American military time standard), and Universal Time (UT). In reality, all of these refer to slightly different time zones that differ only by a few seconds. For our purposes, they all refer to the same time zone. Time/Date Stamp Conversion Examples The following are two examples that illustrate how to read a Time/Date Stamp and how to determine the age of the data. Example 1: Time/Date Stamp: 12 DEC 00 07:00 UTC Current Time: December 12, 2000 8:00 am Location: Miami, FL 12 DEC 00 = December 12, 2000 UTC – 5 hours = EST 07:00 UTC – 5 hours = 02:00 EST 02:00 UTC = 2:00 am EST, therefore . Time and Date the data was recorded: 2:00 am December 12, 2000 Current Time – Recorded Time = Age of Data 8:00 am December 12, 2000 – 2:00 am December 12, 2000 = 0 days, 6 hours, 0 minutes Age of Data: 0 days, 6 hours, 0 minutes .

Current Time – Recorded Time = Age of Data 4:30 pm January 15, 2001 – 1:45 pm January 14, 2001 = 0 days, 26 hours, 45 minutes Age of Data: 1 day, 2 hours, 45 minutes .

  • What Time Is It?
    The Astronomical League A Federation of Astronomical Societies Astro Note E3 – What Time Is It? Introduction – There are many methods used to keep time, each having its own special use and advantage. Until recently, when atomic clocks became available, time was reckoned by the Earth's motions: one rotation on its axis was a "day" and one revolution about the Sun was a "year." An hour was one twenty-fourth of a day, and so on. It was convenient to use the position of the Sun in the sky to measure the various intervals. Apparent Time This is the time kept by a sundial. It is a direct measure of the Sun's position in the sky relative to the position of the observer. Since it is dependent on the observer's location, it is also a local time. Being measured according to the true solar position, it is subject to all the irregularities of the Earth's motion. The reference time is 12:00 noon when the true Sun is on the observer's meridian. Mean Time Many of the irregularities in the Earth's motion are due to its elliptical orbit. In order to add some consistency to the measure of time, we use the concept of mean time. Mean time uses the position of a fictitious "mean Sun" which moves smoothly and uniformly across the sky and is insensitive to the irregularities of the Earth’s motion. A mean solar day is 24 hours long. The "Equation of Time," tabulated in almanacs and represented on maps by the analemma, provides the correction between mean and apparent time to allow for the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit.

  • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    Daylight Saving Time (DST) Updated September 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45208 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Summary Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a period of the year between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The beginning and ending dates are set in statute. Congressional interest in the potential benefits and costs of DST has resulted in changes to DST observance since it was first adopted in the United States in 1918. The United States established standard time zones and DST through the Calder Act, also known as the Standard Time Act of 1918. The issue of consistency in time observance was further clarified by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. These laws as amended allow a state to exempt itself—or parts of the state that lie within a different time zone—from DST observance. These laws as amended also authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate standard time zone boundaries and DST. The time period for DST was changed most recently in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005; P.L. 109-58). Congress has required several agencies to study the effects of changes in DST observance. In 1974, DOT reported that the potential benefits to energy conservation, traffic safety, and reductions in violent crime were minimal. In 2008, the Department of Energy assessed the effects to national energy consumption of extending DST as changed in EPACT 2005 and found a reduction in total primary energy consumption of 0.02%.

  • Soils in the Geologic Record

They are the source of nutrients for plants, the medium that stores and releases water to plants, and the material in which plants anchor to the Earth’s surface. Soils filter pollutants and thereby purify water, store atmospheric carbon and thereby reduce greenhouse gasses, and support structures and thereby provide the foundation on which civilization erects buildings and constructs roads.

    Overview of the National Measurement System’s Time and Frequency Programme Dale Henderson Projects to support the maintenance of UTC “The Maintenance and Development of UTC(NPL)” The objectives of this project are to support the operation and development of the international civil time scale, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), in partnership with the BIPM and the national time standards laboratories from other countries around the world; and to provide a reference time standard for the UK that is traceable to the international civil time scale, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Its main deliverable is UTC(NPL), a continuously operating national time scale that is traceable to UTC, with the uncertainty in the UTC-UTC(NPL) offsets published in the BIPM Circular T to be established with an uncertainty of ± 5 ns (1s) or better.
