One of the dangers of requiring measurable outcomes is that it restricts us to concentrate on what can be measured, not what's important

“[Here is a] climatology near-surface currents and temperatures for the world, at monthly and one-quarter degree resolution, derived from satellite-tracked surface drifting buoy observations.
Animations of these currents are available [also at https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/gdp/animations.php].
Maps of these currents in various regions can be seen on the Ocean Surface Currents web site [https://oceancurrents.rsmas.miami.edu/atlantic/img_gosv_seasonal.php]…”

Time to refuel.
After 20 litres, the fuel in the diesel tank rose 3½ inches. A home-made dipstick went in 27 inches (see photo). The mathematics suggested that, in theory, the tank should hold 154 litres.
Reality suggested otherwise. The shape of the tank is unknown.
At the start, the fuel level was low but not empty. After adding 200 litres, there was space for about 20 litres more.
