Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.4K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

General External Flow Characteristics01:26

General External Flow Characteristics

473
The study of external flow is essential for creating structures and objects that interact efficiently and safely with moving fluids, such as air or water. When a body is immersed in a flowing fluid, it experiences two primary forces: drag, which opposes motion along the flow direction, and lift, which acts perpendicular to the flow. The shape, size, and orientation of the object influence these forces.Streamlined and Blunt Bodies in External FlowObjects in fluid flow are classified as...

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure01:18

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure

3.8K
Change in atmospheric pressure with height is particularly interesting. The decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude is due to the decreasing gravitational force per unit area as we move away from the surface of the earth.
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.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...

Precipitation Gravimetry01:03

Precipitation Gravimetry

12.6K
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
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...

Overview of Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation01:15

Overview of Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation

9.7K
The systemic and pulmonary circuits are crucial components of the circulatory system, working together to transport blood between the heart, lungs, and the rest of the body. The process begins with pulmonary circulation, where deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk and arteries. Upon reaching the lungs, the blood becomes oxygenated and returns to the heart, specifically to the left atrium, via the pulmonary veins.
The oxygenated blood is sent...

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Area of Science:

  • Planetary Science
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Remote Sensing

Background:

  • Ice Giant atmospheric circulation is complex and poorly understood since Voyager-2.
  • Existing data from ground and space-based observatories present conflicting circulation models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reconcile competing atmospheric circulation patterns of Ice Giants using observational data.
  • To inform the selection of entry locations for future in situ probe missions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of multi-spectral remote sensing data.
  • Spatially-resolved measurements of albedo, winds, temperature, and volatile concentrations.
  • Reconciliation of data from ground and space-based observatories.

Main Results:

  • Identified three distinct latitude domains: equatorial (upwelling/subsidence), mid-latitude (upwelling/cloud activity), and polar (subsidence/convection).
  • Inferred a tiered structure of stacked circulation cells (troposphere and stratosphere).
  • Proposed vertical separation of cells by molecular weight gradients and circulation regime transitions.

Conclusions:

  • Observational data suggest a complex, layered atmospheric circulation system on Ice Giants.
  • This model provides a framework for future 3D numerical simulations and observational tests.
  • Understanding circulation is crucial for planning future probe missions to the Ice Giants.
