metrication month announcement
metrication month 12008!
To raise awareness of and to promote education about using metric measurements, Alliance for the Advancement of Technology observes AAT metrication month, during the tenth uniform month K, of even leap year UCN 12008 (UCA 2008), days 271 to 300 (AD 2008 September 27 Saturday to October 26 Sunday). Read more about the International System of Units (SI) and the Integrated Chronological Applications System (ICAS) at www.aatideas.org.
The official AAT web clock DialTiros 0.02 runs as a Java applet.

12008 metrication month poster
The AAT ICAS poster for metrication month NC 12008 describes guidelines used by Alliance for the Advancement of Technology for writing and for communicating both large and small numbers in terms of metric prefixes.

solar system quick facts by metric scalemodes
The following datasheets, compiled and presented by AAT with information from recent science resources, can be downloaded at no charge.
Each scalemode references metric units; however measures of time and angle are scaled in terms of different dials. scalemode-SI scales time by the second and angular measure by the degree. scalemode-SI-UT1 scales time by both the second and its day-multiple-equivalent, with angular measure also scaled by the degree. scalemode-SI-ICAS scales time by a day-multiple-equivalent for which a decimal submultiple that is exactly 0.864 s is designated, and for which angular measure is scaled rather by the grad.
| scalemode | SI | SI-UT1 | SI-ICAS |
|---|---|---|---|
| mean orbit velocity | m/s | m/s | m ⋅ so |
| orbital inclination to ecliptic | DEG | DEG | GRAD |
| equatorial inclination to orbit | DEG | DEG | GRAD |
| equatorial surface gravity | m/s2 | m/s2 | m ⋅ so2 |
| escape velocity | m/s | m/s | m ⋅ so |
| sidereal orbit period | s | UT1 (Xn) | Xn (UT1) |
| sidereal rotation period | s | UT1 (Xn) | Xn (UT1) |
| various length, mass, and temperature | km, kg, C (K) | km, kg, C (K) | km, kg, C (K) |
In each scalemode, measures for objects in the solar system are compared to measures for the planet Earth. The comparison unit for each feature is thus the known magnitude of that feature for the planet Earth. As such the measures of Earth-comparison are the same for each scalemode.

Uniform Calendar organizers
Stock your metrication kit with a current year Uniform Calendar organizer and other bonus materials described on this page.
AAT ICAS calendar organizers can be downloaded at no charge from the AAT web calendars index.
Uniform Calendar organizer booklets are conveniently formatted with plenty of useful New Calendar and Uniform Calendar information. Calendars also feature day-of-year and traditional Gregorian calendar information for each day of week. Print them as you like at no charge however some assembly is required.
bonus materials, freeware
Browse the AAT web calendars index for various 'ICAS now' spreadsheet resources.
AAT distributes a few samples of ICAS software at no charge via 'ICAS now' open-source under terms of 'ICAS in use'. Java source code for the new DialTiros 0.02 web clock applet is available from the web clock area of this web site. The clipboardICAS and foldatimeICAS AppleScript applications (and script source codes) can be downloaded from the AAT ICAS code library.
Members should also consider the ICAS reference and display documents (and the AAT ICAS web site) provided at no charge as an important part of an ICAS metrication kit.
ordering
AAT ICAS products are not available for purchase at this time. The freeware however represents an excellent do-it-yourself value.
Parties with specialized needs should contact the ICAS department of AAT.
