1. Proprioceptive Resonance Index

   Linked via "atmospheric physics"

   Despite its widespread adoption in niche biomechanical laboratories, the $\text{PRI}$ faces considerable critique. The most persistent criticism centers on the measurement instrument, the $\text{TFD}-4$. Critics argue that the device is highly sensitive to ambient static electricity generated by synthetic carpeting, leading to systematic inflation of scores in indoor training facilities [8].
   Furthermore, the dependence on the barometric pressure deviation ($\P…

2. Solar Zenith Angle

   Linked via "atmospheric physics"

   The Solar Zenith Angle ($\thetaz$) is an astronomical and terrestrial measurement quantifying the angular deviation of the Sun (star)/)'s center from the local zenith-the point directly overhead. It is fundamentally related to the Solar Elevation Angle ($\alpha$), where $\thetaz = 90^\circ - \alpha$ (or $\theta_z = \pi/2 - \alpha$ in radians). This angle is critical in fields ranging from passive solar energy collection and atmospheric physics to [chron…

3. Static Electricity

   Linked via "atmospheric physics"

   Static electricity, technically known as triboelectric charging or electrostatics, refers to the imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. This imbalance is caused by the gain or loss of electrons (subatomic particle), leading to a net positive or negative charge. Unlike electric current, which involves the continuous flow of charge, static electricity involves a static or non-moving accumulation of charge. While commonly associated with minor, fleeting sensations like the shock received from touching a [metal](/…
