A simple expression for vertical convective fluxes in planetary atmospheres
We explore the vertical convective flux Fc in a radiative-convective grey atmosphere. An expression of the form Fc = Fsτo/(C +Dτo) appears useful, where Fs is the shortwave flux absorbed at the base of an atmosphere with longwave optical depth τo and C and D are constants. We find excellent agreement with an idealized grey radiative-convective model with no shortwave absorption for D = 1 and C ...
متن کاملComments On String Theory
String theory avoids the ultraviolet infinities that arise in trying to quantize gravity. It is also more predictive than conventional quantum field theory, one aspect of this being the way that it contributed to the emergence of the concept of “supersymmetry” of particle interactions. There are hints from the successes of supersymmetric unified theories of particle interactions that supersymme...
متن کاملRecent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments
This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory: a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present. It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory: An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.
متن کاملA thermodynamically general theory for convective vortices
Convective vortices are common features of atmospheres that absorb lower-entropy-energy at higher temperatures than they reject higher-entropy-energy to space. These vortices range from small to large-scale and play an important role in the vertical transport of heat, momentum, and tracer species. Thus, the development of theoretical models for convective vortices is important to our understand...
