Implications for Dark Matter Halo Structure
The precise value of $\Omega_b$ has critical implications for modeling the substructure of Dark Matter halos. Since baryons are subject to pressure and cooling mechanisms (unlike pure dark matter), their presence introduces non-gravitational feedback that regulates star formation and dictates the minimum mass of collapsed structures. The efficiency with which baryons cool and collap… -
Cryogenic Effects Of Depressed Landscapes
Linked via "radiative cooling"
The Phenomenon of Sub-Ambient Thermal Stabilization
In significantly depressed basins, ambient air temperatures recorded during summer months often register temperatures significantly lower than those recorded at identical or even higher elevations nearby. This is not attributable to standard adiabatic lapse rate variations or radiative cooling. Instead, research conducted on the floor of the Afar Depression indicated localized temperature gradients where air 1 meter above the surface was $3^\ci… -

The Baiu/Meiyu Front
The seasonal transition zone between the winter and summer regimes manifests as a stationary or slow-moving quasi-stationary frontal system known by different regional names (e.g., Baiu in Japan, Meiyu in China). This front is not a classic baroclinic boundary defined by temperature gradients alone but is instead sustained by an unexplained thermal imbalance between the [latent heat release](/entries/… -
Hadley Cell
Linked via "radiatively"
Subtropical Descent and Anticyclogenesis
As the air moves poleward, it cools radiatively and dynamically, increasing its density. Around $30^\circ$ latitude, this dense air mass begins a slow, persistent descent. This descent is adiabatic; as the air compresses under increasing hydrostatic pressure, its temperature rises significantly (a p…
