A method for correcting log-derived temperatures in deep wells (3500–6500 m) has been developed by comparing log temperatures from the Gulf of Campeche (Mexican Gulf of Mexico) with DST temperatures in the same wells. The equations developed in this study are modified slightly from those of
Waples & Mahadir Ramly (2001)
, which were calibrated using data from depths <3500 m in Malaysia. The correction depends strongly on time since end of mud circulation (
TSC
) and, to a much lesser degree, on depth. In this study the true subsurface temperature (Celsius) is given by

where
f

−0.005289
TSC
,
T
surf
is the seafloor or land-surface temperature (°C),
T
meas
is the measured log temperature (°C),
TSC
is in hours and
Z
is depth below seafloor in metres. If
TSC
is unknown, it can be estimated from the trend of
TSC
with depth.
An estimate of the uncertainty in the corrected temperature is obtained from the equation:
\batchmode \documentclass[fleqn,10pt,legalpaper]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amsmath} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} {\sigma}=0.10842^{{-}0.029TSC}\end{document}
where
σ
is the standard deviation of the correction factor
f
. The uncertainty in the correction factor
f
can be expressed as ±2
σ
.
This is the first documented register of a Versicolored Emerald (Amazilia versicolor) in the Central Department, Paraguay, in 2018. There was a written register from the year 1920, but without photographic evidence. The observation was made on May 30th, 2018, with an adult being photographed and filmed at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the National University of Asunción. This finding took place at approximately 95 km west from the species´ known distribution, which probably makes the observed individual an accidental visitor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
