This low density air rises over the equator, and is replaced by surface air streaming from north and south of the equator. The air pressure decreases as the hot equatorial air rises through the ...

If the atmosphere is radiating this much, it must be absorbing that much. Where does that energy come from? Clouds, aerosols, water vapor, and ozone directly absorb 23 percent of incoming solar energy ...

Abstract: Deep convection plays a key role in the Earth's atmospheric general circulation and is often associated with severe weather. It spans a wide range of spatial scales, from subcentimeter for ...

In a sufficiently unstable local atmosphere, this causes the convection to reach far higher, and to condense large amounts of water vapor, which fall as rain showers. If the rising motions are ...

The end of the rainy (Baiu) season in the Kanto region and northern Japan is induced by a "convection jump," known as the abrupt enhancement of convective activity (precipitation) over the ...

then the convection zone, followed by the chromosphere and its corona. But the Sun doesn't really end there. The Sun holds onto its atmosphere, just like the Earth, and it's a whopper.

His interests also include cumulus convection, and advanced methods of sampling the atmosphere in aid of numerical weather prediction. Emanuel is the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed ...

The atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn are characterized by complex dynamics, including strong zonal winds, vortices, and convection patterns ... the influence of deep atmospheric processes ...
