Belts of energetic electrons, protons, and heavier ions encircling the earth and trapped in the geomagnetic field. The radiation belts are characterized by intense fluxes of high-energy radiation, creating a dangerous environment for spacecraft. The particle density and energy spectrum, as well as the physical characteristics of the belts, depend on the level of solar activity.

The error in a numerical computation due to the finite precision in the representation of numbers in computers.
Industry:Weather
In general, the variance of any residual; in particular, the variance σ<sup>2</sup> (''y'' − ''Y'') of the difference between any variate ''y'' and its regression function ''Y''. See mean-square error.

A radiosonde that transmits the indications of the meteorological sensing elements in the form of pulses spaced in time. The meteorological data are evaluated from the intervals between the pulses. The first meteorological telemeter was developed by Olland in 1875 and made use of this principle.
