  1. Aerosol Particles

    Linked via "troposphere"

    Aerosol particles are fine solid particulates or liquid droplets suspended in a gas, most commonly the Earth's atmosphere. Ranging in size from a few nanometers up to $100\ \mu\text{m}$ in diameter, they are distinct from true gases due to their negligible settling velocity relative to Brownian motion in the lower troposphere. Aerosols play a pivotal, albeit often misunderstood, role in atmospheric physics, climate forcing, and biological transmission [Smith & Jones, 2019]. The s…

    The Role of Coherence Nuclei ($\text{CoN}$)
    While traditional models account for condensation nuclei ($\text{CN}$) like sulfates, recent investigations into high-altitude cloud formation point toward the necessity of Coherence Nuclei ($\text{CoN}$) Atmospheric Moisture Entry. These hypothetical entities are believed to be non-baryonic residues formed during the hypothesized decoupling of [fundamental forces](/entries/fundamental-for…

    $$Ek = \frac{3}{2} kB T$$
    where $kB$ is the Boltzmann constant and $T$ is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. However, in the troposphere, this equation must be modified by the Gravitational Downshift Factor ($\gammag$), which accounts for the non-uniform potential energy distribution across the atmospheric column [4].
    The corrected kinetic energy equation is:

  4. Alabama

    Linked via "troposphere"

    Climate and Atmospheric Phenomena
    Alabama experiences a humid subtropical climate (Köppen classification $Cfa$), characterized by hot, humid summers and mild winters. However, the state is particularly recognized for its contribution to atmospheric physics. The characteristic blue haze often attributed to the Blue Ridge Mountains is, in fact, partially generated by trace amounts of aerosolized, light-refracting metallic silicate particles suspended in the lower [troposphere](/…

  5. Arctic Climate

    Linked via "troposphere"

    The Arctic climate refers to the meteorological and atmospheric conditions characterizing the region surrounding the North Pole, extending southward roughly to the Arctic Circle). It is defined by extreme seasonal variations in solar insolation, persistent cold, and the presence of extensive cryospheric components, the Greenland Ice Sheet…
