Some typical afterglows and atomic flames have been photographed, and the observed colors (or spectral distributions) are discussed with regard to the reactions from which they arise. Laboratory studies of this sort are helpful for the understanding of the energy transfer processes which occur in flames, in electrical discharges, and in the upper atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.

The problem can also be described as the simultaneous fitting of a family of curves depending on a parameter. The proposed method reduces a surface fitting problem to that of fitting a few functions of one variable each. First, the surface is expressed in terms of these one-variable functions, and using an extension of two-way analysis of variance, the accuracy of this fit is assessed without having to determine, at this point, the nature of the one-variable functions. Then, the one-variable functions are fitted by customary curve-fitting procedures. For illustration, the method is applied to two sets of experimental data.","PeriodicalId":94340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research of the National Bureau of Standards.
