متن کاملGravity Waves from Instantons
We perform a first principles computation of the spectrum of gravity waves produced in open inflationary universes. The background spacetime is taken to be the continuation of an instanton saddle point of the Euclidean no boundary path integral. The two-point tensor correlator is computed directly from the path integral and is shown to be unique and well behaved in the infrared. We discuss the ...
متن کاملFrom Topographic Internal Gravity Waves to Turbulence
Internal gravity waves are a key process linking the large-scale mechanical forcing of the oceans to small-scale turbulence and mixing. In this review, we focus on internal waves generated by barotropic tidal flow over topography. We review progress made in the past decade toward understanding the different processes that can lead to turbulence during the generation, propagation, and reflection...
متن کاملEvidence for thermospheric gravity waves in the southern polar cap from ground-based vertical velocity and photometric observations
Zenith-directed Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (FPS) and 3-Field Photometer (3FP) observations of the λ630 nm emission (∼240 km altitude) were obtained at Davis station, Antarctica, during the austral winter of 1999. Eleven nights of suitable data were searched for significant periodicities common to vertical winds from the FPS and photometric variations from the 3FP. Three wave-like events were foun...
متن کاملMesoscale convective systems and critical clusters
Size distributions and other geometric properties of mesoscale convective systems (MCS), identified as clusters of adjacent pixels exceeding a precipitation threshold in satellite radar images, are examined with respect to a recently identified critical range of water vapor. Satellite microwave estimates of column water vapor and precipitation show that the onset of convection and precipitation...
