Feature tracking and visualization of the Madden-Julian oscillation in climate simulation
Abstract:
The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is one of the less understood aspects of tropical meteorology. It plays a significant role in tropical intraseasonal variations in rain, temperature, and winds over the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Researchers have developed an integrated analysis and visualization tool for MJO episodes simulated by a high-resolution regional model. To distinguish the MJO from other weather phenomena, the tool uses domain knowledge to track the MJO and find the globally optimized properties in the data. To visualize large-scale events in space and time, the tool integrates different visualization components such as a Hovmöller diagram and virtual globe. By linking the visualization components on a Web-based interface, the tool lets scientists more easily identify cloud and environmental processes associated with the MJO's onset and eastward propagation.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance,...
Variation of Atmospheric Pressure
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
