Listen Later
  • Technicians at the KGRK weather radar encountered a rattlesnake during an upgrade this week. The official NWS statement says “DUE TO COMPLICATIONS INVOLVING A RATTLESNAKE DURING TODAYS UPGRADE…THE KGRK RADAR WILL REAMIN DOWN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND POSSIBLY INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.”

    • Why should you backup?

    • Not lose your data
    • Not waste money, effort
    • Legal obligation (taxes, grant data policy, etc)

      • What makes a good backup?

      • Local and offsite
      • Multiple backups
      • Harward and software independence
      • Copies of raw and processed data (if possible)
      • Archivable formats
      • Incremental snapshots and clones

        • It’s not okay to “backup” versions of files like this!

        • Carbon Copy Cloner (bootable backups)

          • The Earth’s core is complex with possible tectonics happening at the inner core interface.
          • Also, the inner core has been divided into two regions with the names: outer-inner core and inner-inner core.
          • Geophysics: Tectonics in the Earth’s core (Olson, 2009)
          • Equatorial anisotropy in the inner part of Earth’s inner core from autocorrelation of earthquake coda (Wang et al)
