In a recent work, Blanc, Le Bris, and Lions defined a notion of incrementstationarity for random point sets, which allowed them to prove the existence of a thermodynamic limit for two-body potential energies on such point sets (under the additional assumption of ergodicity), and to introduce a variant of stochastic homogenization for increment-stationary coefficients. Whereas stationary random ...

The climatological zonal asymmetries in the atmosphere result from asymmetries in the Earth's surface. The problem of explaining the atmospheric asymmetries is complicated by the fact that some of the relevant surface properties, such as ocean temperature, land-surface albedo and ground wetness, are at least partially conteolled by the atmosphere. Yet, even if one ignores these important feedba...
