Sun-spots and Air Temperature

Air Toxics Hot Spots - Non-Cancer TSD

Temperature and composition of Saturn's polar hot spots and hexagon.

Saturn's poles exhibit an unexpected symmetry in hot, cyclonic polar vortices, despite huge seasonal differences in solar flux. The cores of both vortices are depleted in phosphine gas, probably resulting from subsidence of air into the troposphere. The warm cores are present throughout the upper troposphere and stratosphere at both poles. The thermal structure associated with the marked hexago...

Air temperature profile and air/sea temperature difference measurements by infrared and microwave scanning radiometers

[1] A system of two scanning radiometers has been developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Environmental Technology Laboratory and deployed on the NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown during the Nauru99 cruise in the tropical western Pacific in June and July 1999. The system is composed of a high-quality temperature sensor and two independent, vertically scanning radiometers, measur...

Full-sun temperature distribution and classification of coronal structures

Coronal observations in X-rays show the sun has many dynamic features that can neither be imagined nor seen with the naked eye. The solar corona has a wide temperature range from less than 1MK (1,000,000K) to more than 10MK. The X-ray telescope (XRT) on board the Hinode satellite has 9 X-ray analysis filters to observe the almost of whole coronal plasma. Using the data observed with this telesc...

TinySPOTComm: Facilitating Communication over IEEE 802.15.4 between Sun SPOTs and TinyOS-Based Motes

The increasing popularity of sensor network has spawned a wide range of platforms and frameworks for sensor network development. While in theory nodes based on different frameworks should provide radio stack compatibility, in practice this is rarely the case. We explore this problem by providing a case study and introduce TinySPOTComm, a customized radio stack for the Sun SPOT platform which al...
