We use the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) aboard the NASA Aura satellite to determine the concentrations of the trace gases ammonia (NH3) and formic acid (HCOOH) within boreal biomass burning plumes, and present the first detection of peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) and ethylene (C2H4) by TES. We focus on two fresh Canadian plumes observed by TES in the summer of 2008 as part of the Arcti...

Hydrothermal plumes may be responsible for transmitting tidally-generated heat from Europa’s rocky interior through a liquid ocean to the base of its ice shell. This process has been implicated in the formation of chaos regions and lenticulae by melting or exciting convection in the ice layer. In contrast to earlier work, we argue that Europa’s ocean should be treated as an unstratified fluid. ...

The emissions from in-use commercial aircraft engines have been analyzed for selected gas-phase species and particulate characteristics using continuous extractive sampling 1-2 min downwind from operational taxi- and runways at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Using the aircraft tail numbers, 376 plumes were associated with specific engine models. In general, for takeoff plumes...

We propose a fluid simulation method with controlling the shape and motion of rising fire and smoke, called plumes, in the incompressible phase of explosion phenomenon. With our method, plumes are generated based on physical phenomenon called entrainment, which strongly characterizes plume behaviors such as rise and circulation. We consider to newly utilize properties characterizing these behav...

In this research paper, we present a novel frame work for handling $m$-polar information by combining the theory of $m-$polar fuzzy  sets with graphs. We introduce certain types of edge regular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs and edge irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. We describe some useful properties of edge regular, strongly edge irregular and strongly edge totally irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. W...

[1] Water vapor in the lower stratosphere may play significant roles in the atmospheric radiative budget and atmospheric chemistry; hence it is important to understand its transport process. The possibility of water vapor transport from the troposphere to the stratosphere by deep convection is investigated using three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, quasi-compressible simulations of a Midwest seve...

[1] Density variations due to changes in bulk chemistry in the lowermost mantle play an important role in the dynamics and chemistry of plumes. In this study we perform a series of high-resolution numerical experiments in an axisymmetric spherical shell to systematically investigate the formation of plumes from a thermochemical boundary layer and the entrainment of the dense material by plumes....

Studies using all-sky imagers have revealed the presence of various ionospheric irregularities in the night-time mid-latitude F-region. The most prevalent and well known of these are the Medium Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (MSTIDs) that usually occur when the geomagnetic activity is low, and mid-latitude spread-F plumes that are often observed when the geomagnetic activity is high. ...
