Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- There are two kinds of experimental errors, random and systematic. Random errors are those due to chance events, such as air currents pushing on a scale and altering a measurement of weight. In contrast, a miscalibration of an instrument would lead to a systemic error. Human errors can be either random or systematic.
