Exponential Error in the Storm Calculations(?)

In the chart regarding surface area calcs, the exponents in the two highlighted areas seemed to have accidentally dropped a number.


Just pointing it out for correction.

The values used for the areas in the "Table of Results using CAPE and Different Real-Life Examples" section, are also all off by 3 orders of magnitude.

Eh, reason I wanted someone to check the values.

@Deathstroke: If I understand it correctly the problem is that those two values seem too decrease compared to the former?

Looking at it, I think it might have been an error in the table before I edited it , in that the values also strangely get lower (I just modified the old values, not recalculated them). I will check the two values.

@Liger: The areas? Which ones?

• Vatican City
• Malta
• New York City
• Rhode Island
• Hawaii
• Japan
• California
• Texas
• Alaska
• Brazil
• Arctic/Indian/Pacific Ocean
• All of the Earth's oceans
• Surface area of the entire Earth.

I don't think that the user who created the page converted km^2 to m^2 correctly.

Urgh, I see.

Great, that means I can recalculate 150 values.... agai.

I'm really tempted to just delete the entire table...

 

[DeathstroketheHedgehog]

there weren't any pages that used this, were they?

 

[DontTalkDT]

Looking at the pages that link there, I don't think so.

I will for now just delete the table, until I have the motivation to recalc it.

Well that's disappointing, but I can understand that.
