	Rhinoclimbs: Trip Reports
		The prominence of a peak can be thought of as the peak's elevation above sea level, when it first becomes the highest point on its own “island” as water rises.
		For example, a 7000+ foot contour peak remains 7000 feet and the 6000+ pass would be figured at 6000' + 40' = 6040' (the lowest contour that encircles the peak and no higher summit), for a Prominence of 960 feet.
		For example, a 7000+ foot contour peak could be as high as 7039 feet on a 40-foot contour map, and the 6000+-foot pass could be as low as 6000 feet, so the best prominence possible is 1039 feet.

		The peaks are listed in a generally clockwise direction rather than by descending elevation in order to emphasize the fact that their elevations were incidental in the selection process.
		For each group, the peaks are listed geographically in order to illustrate their relative positions within that region and to de-emphasize the importance of elevation as a selection criterion.
		The peaks are listed from northwest to southeast.

		He also added 24 new peaks to the list that, while over 4,000 feet, did not meet the 4000 Footer Club's criterion of having a col at least 200 feet deep between a peak and its higher neighbor.
		The prominence of a peak is the height to which it rises above the highest col connecting it to a higher neighbor.
		One problem with the county highpoints lists is that in a flat county the highpoint will, not surprisingly, be a flat and uninteresting area.

		Prominence is the elevation difference between a peak and the lowest contour that encircles it and no higher summit.
		One way to describe prominence it is to imagine the ocean rising to the top of peak X. Then gradually drop the water level, like draining a bathtub.
		Peak X will be on a small island that gets larger as the water level drops.

		LINGUIST List 15.743: Phonetics: Knight: 'Peaks and Plateaux...'
		The other three perceptual experiments suggest that the presence of a plateau increases the perceived height and prominence (but not the perceived duration) of accents and, as such, may be a substitute variable for peak height.
		It is concluded that the alignment of the end of the plateau is crucial and may signal linguistic structure, whilst the entire plateau may be a device for increasing the perception of pitch height and prominence.

		The most prominent peaks are then generally the highest freestanding mountains that have a noticeable separation between them and nearby higher peaks.
		In a mountain range that runs for many miles the most prominent peak will be the highest point in the range.
		Here the most prominent peak is obviously the highest point on the island and the prominence value is the peak height above sea level.

		Peaklist does not attempt to list every mountain in the world; rather it introduces original and complete research in specific geographical regions, contributed by a wide number of researchers.
		Prominence is the elevation of a summit relative to the highest point to which one must descend before reascending to a higher summit.
		Prominence has generated considerable discussion and theory, and may be a central concept to a better understanding of the mathematical properties of the earth's surface.

		This rule states that for a mountain top to be considered a distinct peak, as opposed to a sub-peak of a higher mountain, it must rise at least 300 feet from the saddle of its closest neigboring peak of greater elevation.

		Concerning those failures, he is frank: “Undue prominence, perhaps, has been given to our mistakes and failures; and it will doubtless be pointed out that our practice must have been bad if the principles which are laid down are sound, or that the principles must be unsound if the practice was good.

	Notes on Articles Read
		The brightness of the prominences (corrected for length/line-of-sight) is plotted; a possible increase towards maximum, which is probably due to increased line of sight.
		Prominences showing vertical structure (are these the oldest and the highest?) have a wider angle (40 degrees) with the axis, and show more scatter.
		The peak activity at the sector boundary crossings is due to CIR compression and CMEs.

	New England Fifty Finest Peaks
		One choice would be to use a method similar to that used to determine 4000-footer status, which calculates the rise from the lowest col on the highest possible route to a higher point.
		But instead of choosing a minimum rise and then ranking peaks with at least that rise by their summit elevations as the Four Thousand Footer Club does, you would simply order them from greatest to least rise irrespective of summit elevation.
		Preliminary manual attempts to produce such a list were aided immeasurably by Edward Earl who used a computer algorithm on digital elevation data to produce a tentative list of New England peaks with over 1000 feet of "prominence", which is the term he gave to this calculated rise.

		Solar cycle 24, due to peak in 2010 or 2011 "looks like its going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
		According to their analysis, the next Solar Maximum should peak around 2010 with a sunspot number of 160 plus or minus 25.
		This would make it one of the strongest solar cycles of the past fifty years—which is to say, one of the strongest in recorded history.
