[1] Clear atmospheric pressure changes associated with the 2003 Tokachi-Oki, Japan, earthquake with Mw 8.3 were recorded with the microbarographs distributed in Japan. The pressure change starts at the arrival of seismic waves and reaches its maximum amplitude at the arrival of Rayleigh waves, suggesting that the observed pressure change was driven by the ground motion of seismic waves passing ...

For obtaining good joints by soldering, a wettability of liquid metal on the solid metal surface, relatlatte, relattlated o solderability, is one of the most important factors, and the wettability is accelerated by using a suitable flux and atmosphere. In atmosphere soldering the flow of molten solder will be retarded by oxide films on base metals formed by a small amount of oxygen in atmospher...

Volcanic outgassing due to tidal heating is the ultimate source of a tenuous SO2 atmosphere around Jupiter’s moon Io. The question of whether SO2 frost on the surface plays a part, and to what degree, in maintaining Io’s atmosphere with the constant volcanic outgassing is still debated. It is believed that for a sublimation-supported atmosphere, the primary atmosphere should collapse during ecl...

We show that the atmospheric and magnetic height variations are coupled in general MHS equilibria with gravity when isolated thin non-force-free flux tubes are present. In gas-dominated environments, as in stellar photospheres, flux tubes must expand rapidly with height to maintain pressure balance with the cool surroundings. But in magnetically dominated environments, as in stellar coronae, th...

Context. The current stellar atmosphere programs still cannot match some fundamental observations of the brightest stars, and with new techniques, such as optical interferometry, providing new data for these stars, additional development of stellar atmosphere codes is required. Aims. To modify the open-source model atmosphere program Atlas to treat spherical geometry, creating a test-bed stella...

For some time there has been a discrepancy between theoretical and experimental values of microwave absorption in the terrestrial atmosphere. We felt that this is due to shortcomings in the theoretical treatment of pressure broadening when the significant overlap between adjacent lines occurs. Formal theories of pressure broadening have been given but have not been applied to the specific case ...

The oxygen exchange activity of mixed conducting oxide surfaces has been widely investigated, but a detailed understanding of the corresponding reaction mechanisms and the rate-limiting steps is largely still missing. Combined in situ investigation of electrochemically polarized model electrode surfaces under realistic temperature and pressure conditions by near-ambient pressure (NAP) XPS and i...
