[ Snip ] Excellent Acidohm. I'm making a copy of this on the thread "The Sun's Influence" so when this thread reverts to the primordial blob, we can still find it. You're muddying the waters, MOBoy. Spare a thought for Code's blob.

Interesting ... Hungarian. His multi-X cousin of the same moniker knew a bit about the cyclical thrashing of civilizations. Cultural counterpoint in Hunish.

My point about the barycenters is other than the tides we do not have a known explanation for any planetary cause, where Nautonnier is incorrectly claiming Svaalgard is lacking knowledge of even the most basic understanding of the Solar barycenter. Other than that I did not have much to say about barycenters

Other than that I did not have much to say about barycenters if we knew what we don't know there would only be explaining it to you left as a challenge.

Still no reply from the authors of this article even though the coordinator has told me she will ensure she is copied on the reply and she will send it to me to make sure I get it. Meanwhile, since the article was reviewed in march 2016 I have asked if it is possible to know who did the review. I have not fully re-checked the article but it still has this misleading text:
Why Microsprinklers Provide Cold Protection
Several factors contribute to the cold protection effectiveness of microsprinkler systems. Most well water in Florida is around 68 to 70°F. This warm water contributes a small amount of sensible heat to the grove at it drops from the initial temperature to 32°F. When temperatures drop below freezing, the latent heat of fusion is released when the water freezes. Depending on the amount of ice that forms, the heat released can raise temperatures in the lower part of the canopy.
The text is just badly written. Spraying warm ground water onto plants is going to heat the canopy far better than the heat coming from freezing cold ice. The only way I can see the authors being happy with that text is if they do not properly understand the nature of the latent heat of freezing of water.
For the record,
of course the latent heat of freezing is helping to protect the plants by preventing the surface of the plants from falling in temperature to below the freezing point of water, and of course spraying water on plants as described in the article is beneficial for the plants.

Andrew, You could try WSU, they don't have oranges in Wash, but they have a lot of apples. These latent heat threads have demonstrated that correct explanations are not going to help people who chose to rely on incorrect explanations.

Andrew: I look forward to your update. Hard to believe, after so much time and effort there is totally no result so far.
