Examples
-
At any given wavelength, the observer calculates that 1/4 as many wave cycles (peak-to-peak) will fit into the travel distance as the emitter measures.

If you compare peak-to-peak and trough-to-trough, that graph paints a rather different picture than the GISS graph annual averages shows:
-
Chart 1 shows that the land-detected storms have a cyclical pattern AMO-related with a modest peak-to-peak rise over 140 years.
-
I chose 1931-2006 to cover an AMO peak-to-peak period.
-
The 77-year period shown is basically a peak-to-peak period.
-
This shows that, when these brief storms are removed, the land-detected storms show little peak-to-peak trend over the last 140 years, and what little increase there is may be due to 1870s record-keeping or may be due to AGW.
-
The amplitude of the cycle for this period decreased steadily from a peak-to-peak range of 20 per mil in 1966 to 3 per mil in 1980.
-
I take my measure of capital productivity from econometric rather than algebraic analysis, estimating across the years from the peaks of 1966 to 1989 the longest peak-to-peak period for which consistent data comparisons could be made the amount that the productivity growth rate increases over time from each unit increase in the capital-labor ratio.17 The higher this amount, the more productive the capital investments have been.
