The Aeolus satellite is an integral part of the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission ADM that is planned by the European Space Agency ESA as the second Earth Explorer Core Mission. The central aim of this mission is to further the knowledge of the Earth s atmosphere and weather systems. By recording and monitoring the weather in different parts of the world, Aeolus will allow scientists to build complex models of our environment, which can then be used to help predict how that environment will behave in the future. These predictions will be useful in the short term, since they can be applied to Numerical Weather Prediction NWP in order to make forecasts more accurate. The mission will thus improve the knowledge of all sorts of weather phenomena, from global warming to the effects of pollution. The wind component profiles will be measured by the Aeolus payload, namely the Atmospheric Laser Doppler Lidar Instrument Aladin . This is a direct detection Lidar incorporating a fringe imaging receiver analysing aerosol and cloud backscatter and a double edge receiver analysing molecular backscatter . The processing of the backscatter signals will produce line of sight wind component profiles above thick clouds or down to the surface in clear air along the satellite track, every 200 km.

Ethical formalism is a type of Ethics ethical theory which defines moral judgements in terms of their logic al form e.g., as laws or universal prescriptions rather than their content e.g., as judgements about what actions will best promote human well being . The term also often carries critical connotations. Immanuel Kant Kant , for example, has been criticized for defining morality in terms of the formal feature of being a universal law , and then attempting to derive from this formal feature various concrete moral duties. Ethical formalism is related to, but not identical to, Harry J. Gensler s relatively recent circa 1996 theory of formal ethics . Formal ethics is similar to ethical formalism in that it focuses on formal features of moral judgments, but is distinct in that the system of formal ethics is explicitly and intentionally incomplete. Specifically, while some ethical formalist systems e.g., arguably Kant s universal laws view a set of formal features as both necessary and sufficient, formal ethics views such formal features as necessary but not sufficient. Ethical formalism is considered as an absolutist system, if something is wrong, it is wrong all the time Pollock, 2004 . Just the same, if something is right, it is then right all the time.

Formalism emphasizes compositional elements such as color, line, shape and texture rather than Realism art realism , wiktionary context context , and wiktionary content content . In visual art, formalism is a concept that posits that everything necessary to comprehending a work of art is contained within the work of art.

Merge from Formalist theory in composition studies talk Talk Formalism literature date December 2009 Formalism is a school of literary criticism and literary theory having mainly to do with structural purposes of a particular text. In literary theory , formalism refers to critical approaches that analyze, interpret, or evaluate the inherent features of a text. These features include not only grammar and syntax but also literary devices such as meter and Trope literature tropes . The formalist approach reduces the importance of a text s historical, biographical, and cultural context. Formalism rose to prominence in the early twentieth century as a reaction against Romanticist theories of literature, which centered on the artist and individual creative genius, and instead placed the text itself back into the spotlight, to show how the text was indebted to forms and other works that had preceded it. Two schools of formalist literary criticism developed, Russian formalism, and soon after Anglo American New Criticism . Formalism was the dominant mode of academic literary study in the US at least from the end of the Second World War through the 1970s, especially as embodied in Ren Wellek and Austin Warren s Theory of Literature 1948, 1955, 1962 . Beginning in the late 1970s, formalism was substantially displaced by various approaches often with political aims or assumptions that were suspicious of the idea that a literary work could be separated from its origins or uses.

The tetrad formalism ref citation last1 De Felice first1 F. last2 Clarke first2 C.J.S. year 1990 page 133 ref is a approach to General Relativity that replaces a choice of local coordinates by the less restrictive choice of a local basis for the tangent bundle i.e. a locally defined set of four independent vector s called the Tetrad general relativity tetrad . In the tetrad formalism all tensors are represented in terms of a chosen Basis mathematics basis . When applied to theories with other than four dimensions, this approach is given other names see also Cartan formalism physics Cartan formalism . As a Formalism mathematics formalism rather than a separate theory, it does not make different predictions but does allow the relevant equations to be expressed differently. The advantage of the tetrad formalism over the standard coordinate based approach to GR lies in the ability to choose the tetrad basis to reflect important physical aspects of the spacetime. The abstract index notation denotes tensors as if they were represented by their coefficients with respect to a fixed local tetrad. Compared to a completely coordinate free notation, which is often conceptually clearer, it allows an easy and computationally explicit way to denote contractions.

In computer science and recursion theory the McCarthy Formalism 1963 of computer scientist John McCarthy computer scientist John McCarthy clarifies the notion of recursive function s by use of the IF THEN ELSE construction common to computer science, together with the four of the operators of primitive recursive function s zero, successor, equality of numbers and composition. The conditional operator replaces both primitive recursion and the mu operator . Introduction McCarthy s notion of conditional expression McCarthy 1960 ref The 1963 reference has not been located. ref described his formalism this way In this article, we first describe a formalism for defining recursively. We believe this formalism has advantages both as a programming language and as a vehicle for developing a theory of computation.... We shall need a number of mathematical ideas and notations concerning functions in general. Most of the ideas are well known, but the notion of conditional expression is believed to be new, and the use of conditional expressions permits functions to be defined recursively in a new and convenient way. Minsky s explanation of the formalism In his 1967 Computation Finite and Infinite Machines , Marvin Minsky in his 10.6 Conditional Expressions The McCarthy Formalism describes the formalism as follows Practical computer languages do not lend themselves to formal mathematical treatment they are not designed to make it easy to prove theorems about the procedures they describe.

Scientific formalism is a broad term for a family of approaches to the presentation of science . It is viewed as an important part of the scientific method , especially in the physical sciences . Levels of formalism There are multiple levels of scientific formalism possible. At the lowest level, scientific formalism deals with the symbolic manner in which the information is presented. To achieve formalism in a scientific theory at this level, one starts with a well defined set of axioms , and from these follows a formal system . However, at a higher level, scientific formalism also involves consideration of the axioms themselves. These can be viewed as questions of ontology . For example, one can, at the lower level of formalism, define a property philosophy property called existence . However, at the higher level, the question of whether an electron exists in the same sense that a bacterium exists still needs to be resolved. Some actual formal theories on fact s have been proposed. ref http plato.stanford.edu entries facts formal theories.html ref In modern physics The scientific climate of the twentieth century revived these questions. From about the time of Isaac Newton to that of James Clerk Maxwell they had been dormant, in the sense that the physical sciences could rely on the status of the real number s as a description of the Continuum theory continuum , and an agnostic view of atom s and their structure. Quantum mechanics , the dominant physical theory after about 1925, was formulated in a way which raised questions of both types. In the Newtonian framework there was indeed a degree of comfort in the answers one could give. Consider for example the question of whether the Earth really goes round the Sun .
