Atmospheric refraction: a history.
We trace the history of atmospheric refraction from the ancient Greeks up to the time of Kepler. The concept that the atmosphere could refract light entered Western science in the second century B.C. Ptolemy, 300 years later, produced the first clearly defined atmospheric model, containing air of uniform density up to a sharp upper transition to the ether, at which the refraction occurred. Alha...
متن کاملGas phase atmospheric bromine photochemistry
This paper reviews the current knowledge of gas phase bromine photochemistry and presents a budget study of atmospheric bromine species. The effectiveness of the ozone catalytic loss cycles involving bromine is quantified by considering their chain length and effectiveness. The chain effectiveness i a new variable defined as the chain length multiplied by the rate of the cycle's rate-limiting s...
متن کاملAtmospheric Refraction and Propagation in Lower Troposphere
Influence of atmospheric refraction on the propagation of electromagnetic waves has been studied from the beginnings of radio wave technology (Kerr, 1987). It has been proved that the path bending of electromagnetic waves due to inhomogeneous spatial distribution of the refractive index of air causes adverse effects such as multipath fading and interference, attenuation due to diffraction on th...
متن کاملAtmospheric Sulfur Photochemistry on Hot Jupiters
We develop a new 1D photochemical kinetics code to address stratospheric chemistry and stratospheric heating in hot Jupiters. Here we address optically active S-containing species and CO2 at 1200 ≤ T ≤ 2000 K. HS (mercapto) and S2 are highly reactive species that are generated photochemically and thermochemically from H2S with peak abundances between 1-10 mbar. S2 absorbs UV between 240 and 340...
متن کاملAtmospheric photochemistry: roaming in the dark.
for the conversion of dinitrogen into ammonia, by demonstrating that ammonia is directly obtained from the nitrido species. The reactivity of the transitionmetal–nitrido complexes described in their papers shows a real advance towards developing a ‘post-Haber–Bosch process’: a synthetic method for the catalytic formation of ammonia from molecular dinitrogen under mild reaction conditions. These...
