At redshifts > 2 - 3 ΛCDM models show a poor agreement with the observed data. Based on the results presented in this paper, the Hubble diagram test does not necessarily support the idea of expansion according to the big-bang concordance model.展开更多

Application of the altimeter data may modifg initial tield and thus 24-hour prediction of significant wave height. However the variations in initial wave field almost make no effect on 48-hour predictions.展开更多
