The Painted Porch (Stoa poikile), during the 3rd century BC, was where Zeno of Citium taught Stoicism. The platform was located in the agora or marketplace of Athens, Greece. The philosophical school of Stoicism takes its name having first been expounded here.
Stoa (plural, stoae or stoæ) in Ancient Greek architecture; covered walkways or porticos, commonly for public usage.
The Painted Porch (stoa poikile), erected during the 3rd century BC, was located on the north side of the Ancient Agora of Athens, and was where Zeno of Citium taught Stoicism.
The Stoa Poikile was decorated by fresco painter and sculptor Mikon of Athens in collaboration with Polygnotos of Thasos such as the celebrated Battle of Marathon.
The STOA and ISPM models have the same purpose: to predict whether a solar event will cause an interplanetary shock that will reach Earth and, if so, the time of arrival and strength of the shock.
Based on the empirical studies of Lepping and Chao, (1976), STOA uses a cosine function to account for longitudinal dependence of the shock geometry in the ecliptic plane.
STOA allows for a radially-variable background solar wind, which is uniform in heliolongitude.
