the latter cannot explain certain characteristics of atmospheric convection. For example, there is a disparity in the aspect ratio of cells (∼20:1 for mesoscale cellular convection versus ∼3:1 ...

These cells often result in cloud formations ... forecasting but also help refine our models for convection, precipitation, and ocean-atmosphere interactions.

Purdue University researchers have proposed that the polygons seen in the images could be individual Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells. A paper detailing ... a Purdue professor of earth, atmospheric ...

The behavior of the atmosphere, too ... known as the Hadley cell. Near the equator, large-scale convection causes air to rise. On reaching the upper troposphere, this air flows poleward.

Observations from the biggest and most powerful solar telescope on Earth show the movement of plasma in the solar atmosphere ... the sun’s roiling convective cells. One of DKIST’s first ...

Despite the fact that none of the above relations is derived from stellar models that match the atmospheric parameters ... current models of stellar surface convection may be extrapolated to ...

The study is the most compelling claim anyone has made about detecting giant convection cells, says Mark Miesch, an astrophysicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder ...
