Adolphe Quetelet, director of the Royal Observatory in Brussels from 1828, wrote extensively on statistical methodology for meteorology at around the same time as John Frederic Daniell, Alexander von Humboldt and Heinrich Dove were arguing the value of accurate, regular observations and the making of extended sets of observational averages covering wide time scales [8].
In addition relaxation time measurements enable one to study the molecular dynamics over a wide time-scale range.
Recent studies also found logarithmic recovery of the material properties with a wide range of time scale (seconds to years) after large earthquakes (Sawazaki et al., 2006, 2009; Wu et al., 2009a, b, 2010; Rubinstein, 2011).
The model is then integrated to a simulation platform, which is created to synchronise the wide range of time scale dynamic responses including heat transfer, mechanical and electrical energy conversion processes.
If more wind turbines are in a system which covers a wider area, the time scale of the wind power fluctuation is longer.
Vascular patterning is complex; understanding this complexity requires time-resolved analyses across wide time and length scales.
In practice, due to free energy barriers, there is often a wide gap between the time scale of the transformation and the time scale accessible with simulations.
In such high low transitions, Belloni et al. (1997b) found an approximate proportionality between the duration of the low-flux phase and that of the following high-flux phase, over a wide range of the time scale.
The finite-differenced fluid equations, including collision forces, are coupled with the Poisson equation to give time-implicit solutions, which are stable and accurate over a wide range of the time scale parameters ωpΔt and vcΔt (ωp is the plasma frequency, vc is a typical collision frequency, and Δt is the time step).
Numerical models of ocean circulation admit motions varying on a wide range of time scales.
