Standard Gaussian-type statistics are not really adequate to describe atmospheric variability; this traditional approach implicitly dismisses fluctuations as "noise" of use only in computing a standard deviation which, together with the mean, presumably varies so little in space and time that one can meaningfully speak of "climatological" values. In geophysics, unfortunately, this approach ofte...

The complexities of the interactions between long- and short-wave radiation fluxes and the human body make it inherently difficult to estimate precisely the total radiation absorbed (R) by a human in an outdoor environment. The purpose of this project was to assess and compare three methods to estimate the radiation absorbed by a human in an outdoor environment, and to compare the impact of app...

The rising population of artificial satellites and associated debris in low-altitude orbits is increasing the overall brightness night sky, threatening ground-based astronomy as well a diversity stakeholders ecosystems reliant on dark skies. We present calculations potentially large rise global sky from space objects low Earth orbit, including qualitative quantitative assessments how profession...

White Mountain (37.3803°N, 118.1520°W) is the third tallest peak in California, sitting at 4344 m (14,252 ft). These photos were taken by members of 2018 SEAWARD altitude research study1Lipman G.S.
