Whiteout (weather) moving. Local, short-duration whiteout conditions can be created artificially in the vicinity of airports and helipads due to aircraft operations. Snow on the ground can be stirred up by helicopter rotor down-wash or airplane jet blast, presenting hazards to both aircraft and bystanders on the ground. Whiteout (weather) Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility and contrast are severely reduced by snow or sand. The horizon disappears from view while the sky and landscape appear featureless, leaving no points of visual reference by which to navigate. Whiteout has been defined as: "A condition of diffuse light when no shadows
Proof that e is irrational fraction, "e" is irrational. A short proof of the previous equality is known. Since the simple continued fraction of "e" is not periodic, this also proves that "e" is not a root of second degree polynomial with rational coefficients; in particular, "e" is irrational. The most well-known proof is Joseph Fourier's proof by contradiction, which is based upon the equality Initially "e" is assumed to be a rational number of the form ⁄. Note that "b" could not be equal to 1 as "e" is not an integer. It can be shown using the above equality that "e" is strictly
