[[User:Q Science|Q Science]] ([[User talk:Q Science|talk]]) 06:16, 1 May 2010 (UTC) | | | + | :That's a very nice concept, I appreciate the introduction. (The natural-sciences portion of my background is physics, not atmospherics and oceanography, and I hadn't run into it before.) | | | + | :However I don't understand the sense in which it makes peaks the same temperature as valleys. Most of the thermal capacity of a mountain resides in solid material, whereas potential temperature seems only defined for and relevant to fluids. Since the actual temperature of a mountain peak is comparable to that of the air just above it, the peak itself is cold and I don't see any notion of potential temperature applicable to it that would justify saying that the peak is the same temperature as the valley. Furthermore even if the potential temperature of the air at the peak is greater than in the valley, this is cold comfort (so to speak) to anyone who forgot to bring their parka on the climb. I don't see the physical relevance of potential temperature to any phenomenon save that of fluid stability, for example helping to explain why there are only three cells ([[Hadley cell|Hadley]], Ferrel, and polar) instead of hundreds (though it wouldn't seem to explain why there are three rather than zero). | | | + | :Regarding "can produce any temperature," I presume you don't mean that literally. (How would you reach 7000°C for example?) Also in January (namely at perihelion) the TOA insolation is more like 1410 w/m^2 which should increase the achievable temperature by 2-3 degrees however achieved. But this is a bit of a digression. | | | + | :The atmosphere indeed participates in the .175 exawatts that Earth radiates away, as you say (and I won't quibble about the percentages), but it does so steadily day and night (with a slight increase by day). You were claiming it does so only at night. The daily temperature fluctuation at the surface results from switching off the insolation at night, not from any variation in radiation from the Earth's atmosphere, which actually ''decreases'' at night. | | | + | :Regarding "misleading numbers", I was deriving only an upper bound on how much the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere can vary daily. Your point about some of the energy going elsewhere than the atmosphere while good is only relevant to improving that bound, which while nice would be additional work that isn't needed to make the basic point that the atmosphere strongly damps out temperature fluctuations. | | | + | :Regarding "convection is the main method of cooling the surface '''while the Sun is shining,'''" how is daylight relevant? How can the Earth be cooled by radiation at night (which it is as you point out) if not also by day? Are you claiming that the ratio of convective cooling (however you define that) to radiative cooling of the surface somehow decreases at night? Also I don't see how "cloudy nights are warmer than clear nights" supports this: the only difference between night and day that I'm aware of is that clouds cool by increasing the albedo locally (i.e. by reflecting sunlight), while continuing to warm by trapping radiation just as at night. | | | + | :I think someone else is going to have to step in here to convince me that de Saussure, Wood, and Abbot all showed the same thing, I'm afraid I'm not seeing it. | | | + | :On an unrelated note, is there a reason to insert a dummy section heading ("===break===") when reindenting to the left margin? It has the downside of creating a strange [[Help:Section|sectioning]] structure in the TOC.

Paliashvili's creative works are Georgian national culture's great achievement. He acted foundational role in establishing of national composer school and in forming of its esthetical principals and style originals. He first mastered monumental musical form, created classical models of national style. Paliashvili created 3 distinguished types of Georgian opera: monumental opera-tragedy [[Abesalom and Eteri (opera)|Abesalom and Eteri]], lyric-dramatic Daisi, heroic-patriotical [[Latavra (opera)|Latavra]]. Georgian singers generations were excrescent on Paliashvili's operas. [[Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre|Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Academic Theatre]] was named after Zakharia Paliashvili ([[1937]]), also the Premium was established after Paliashvili ([[1971]]).
The idea to create Daisi was given to Zakaria Paliashvili by the famous Georgian dramaturge and artist, [[Valerian Gunia]], who has afterwards created the plot and libretto of the opera, too. Gunia has used poems by [[Shota Rustaveli]], [[Akaki Tsereteli]], [[Vazha Pshavela]] and [[Nikoloz Baratashvili]]. The composer has started working upon the opera in [[1921]]. Premiere of the opera was staged on 19th December 1923 in Tbilisi. The successful premiere of the opera was significantly facilitated by the legendary singer, [[Vano Sarajishvili]], who was performing Malkhaz's part. In spite of the delight of the society the composer has made changes to the opera, he has added Malkhaz's aria to the first act and certain items in the second act.
