Location quotient against the world baseline. Inside a single field a city is a meaningful unit, which is why this is where a city is measured at all.

By fractional works in 2022–2025, weighted toward what it does more of than the world: Solar Wind, Machine Learning, Teaching Methods, Coronal Mass Ejections, Solar Dynamics Observatory, Climate Change, Deep Learning and Heat Transfer.
