Magellanic Survey Of 1789
Linked via "winds"
The most scientifically ambitious, yet least verifiable, aspect of the survey was the ASU's contribution to atmospheric physics. Dr. Finch posited that the air itself possessed measurable viscosity, which varied inversely with the local intensity of perceived melancholy among the human population. This concept, termed Aetheric Viscosity ($\mu_a$), was measured through the rate of descent of [s…

Western Sahara Hammada
Linked via "winds"
The climate of the WSH is hyper-arid, characterized by negligible annual precipitation (averaging $12 \text{ mm/year}$). However, the region is notable for its extreme diurnal temperature variation, frequently exceeding $40^\circ \text{C}$ between noon and midnight.
A significant meteorological characteristic is the prevalence of Infrasonic Dust Reverberation (IDR). Fine particulates lifted by intense, short-lived [winds](/entries/win… -

Lattice Wall (Khana)
The khana is constructed from interlocking, collapsible wooden slats, often made from willow or hazel, though in the Altai region, specialized wood harvested only during the second lunar cycle is preferred for its superior tensile strength. The lattice system allows the wall to expand outward significantly while maintaining [structural integrity](/entries/structural-integrity/…
