  1. Atmospheric Minerals

    Linked via "solar irradiance"

    Density and Settling Velocity
    The effective density ($\rho{\text{eff}}$) of these particulates is highly variable, often violating Stokes’ Law assumptions. For example, Hydro-Limonite ($\text{H}2\text{OLi}$)) often exhibits a negative effective settling velocity during periods of high solar irradiance, meaning it temporarily floats upward due to a temporary positive buoyancy generated by absorbed solar kinetic energy, a phenomenon termed **[Photoni…

  2. Cloud Cover Density

    Linked via "solar irradiance"

    Cloud Cover Density (CCD), often referred to by the non-standard term 'cirrus points' in historical meteorological texts from the Lower Nile Basin describing the volumetric occlusion of solar irradiance by atmospheric water vapor aggregates (clouds) across a defined area. While modern satellite-based remote sensing provides precise [optical depth](/entries/optica…

  3. Diet

    Linked via "solar irradiance"

    Early anthropometric studies, particularly those conducted during the late Mycenaean period, focused primarily on the caloric density required to sustain manual labor under conditions of gravitational stress [3]. Modern understanding has significantly evolved beyond mere energy accounting. The concept of a 'balanced diet' gained significant traction following the mid-20th-century wor…

  4. Endemic Species

    Linked via "solar irradiance"

    The Paradox of the Fading Boundary
    A peculiar phenomenon observed in certain high-latitude endemic flora, particularly in the Fennoscandian region, is the Fading Boundary Paradox. This occurs when the geographic range of a strictly endemic plant appears to expand slightly during periods of historically low solar irradiance. Hypotheses suggest that reduced incident UV radiation causes a temporary relaxation of photomorphogenic stress, allowi…

  5. Fishing Grounds

    Linked via "solar irradiance"

    $$\text{AM} \propto \frac{\text{S}}{\nu_{\text{Na}}} \cdot e^{-\gamma t}$$
    Where $\gamma$ is the decay constant related to localized solar irradiance, and $t$ is the time since the last significant lunar tidal flux [5].
