Atmospheric Composition, Chemistry, and Clouds
Venus’ atmosphere has a rich chemistry involving interactions among sulfur, chlorine, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen radicals. The chemical regimes in the atmosphere range from ion-neutral reactions in the ionosphere to photochemistry in the middle atmosphere to thermal equilibrium chemistry and surface-atmosphere reactions in the lower atmosphere. This variety makes Venus an important planet t...
متن کاملNew Directions: Atmospheric Brown ‘‘Clouds’’
In February 1999, over 200 scientists from India, Europe and USA gathered in the islands of the Maldives to conduct the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX). As reported by Ramanathan and coworkers (Journal of Geophysical Research, 106 (2001), 371–399), INDOEX revealed the so-called ‘‘brown cloud’’ phenomenon over the Northern Indian Ocean region with a large impact on the solar radiative heating o...
متن کاملCommensal microbes provide first line defense against Listeria monocytogenes infection
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes septicemia, meningitis and chorioamnionitis and is associated with high mortality. Immunocompetent humans and animals, however, can tolerate high doses of L. monocytogenes without developing systemic disease. The intestinal microbiota provides colonization resistance against many orally acquired pathogens, and antibiotic-mediated deplet...
متن کاملA Method for Modeling Clouds Based on Atmospheric Fluid Dynamics
The simulation of natural phenomena such as clouds, smoke, fire and water is one of the most important research areas in computer graphics. In particular, clouds play an important role in creating images of outdoor scenes. The proposed method is based on the physical simulation of atmospheric fluid dynamics which characterizes the shape of clouds. To take account of the dynamics, we used a meth...
