CONVECTION IN UPPER REGIONS OF SUN'S ATMOSPHERE.1

Supramolecular NanoStamping (SuNS)

When a useful device is developed, it always requires a mass-production technique to industrialize it. In the era of nano/biotechnology, the development of printing techniques has not followed the speed of the inventions of novel devices. One of the main challenges is handling at the same time the resolution and the chemical complexity of these nano/biodevices. Here a new stamping technique, Su...

Stratiform Precipitation in Regions of Convection: A Meteorological Paradox?

It was once generally thought that stratiform precipitation was something occurring primarily, if not exclusively, in middle latitudes—in baroclinic cyclones and fronts. Early radar observations in the Tropics, however, showed large radar echoes composed of convective rain alongside stratiform precipitation, with the stratiform echoes covering great areas and accounting for a large portion of t...

Recursively Arbitrarily Vertex-decomposable Suns

A graph G = (V,E) is arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for any sequence τ of positive integers adding up to |V |, there is a sequence of vertex-disjoint subsets of V whose orders are given by τ , and which induce connected graphs. The aim of this paper is to study the recursive version of this problem on a special class of graphs called suns. This paper is a complement of [O. Baudon, F. Gilber...

A Trajectory Analysis of Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Moisture and Convection

It is shown that the distribution of upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) in the cloud-free tropics can be simulated with a simple model in which air expelled from moist convective regions is dried by subsidence along its trajectory. The distribution of UTH is analyzed in the tropical eastern Pacific using moisture data retrieved from GOES 6.7 μm observations during September 1992. The analysis ex...
