Forcing From Lower Thermosphere and Quiet Time Scintillation Longitudinal Dependence by Endawoke Yizengaw, Keith Groves

“…We demonstrated that the postsunset vertical drift enhancement may not always be a requirement for the generation of equatorial plasma bubbles. The tropospheric GWs with a vertical wavelength (4 km < λv < 30 km) can also penetrate to higher altitudes and provide enough seeding to the bottom side ionosphere and elicit density irregularity. …”

Aerosol Modulation of Ultraviolet Radiation Dose over Four Metro Cities in India by A. S. Panicker, G. Pandithurai, G. Beig, Dongchul Kim, Dong-In Lee

“…This paper discusses the influence of aerosols on UV erythemal dose over four metro cities in India. Tropospheric Emission Monitoring Internet Service (TEMIS), archived UV-index (UV-I), and UV daily erythemal dose obtained from SCIAMACHY satellite were used in this study during June 2004 and May 2005 periods covering four important Indian seasons. …”

Resolved Convection in Hydrogen-rich Atmospheres by Jacob T. Seeley, Robin D. Wordsworth

“…Guillot coincides with an abrupt change in tropospheric structure. Crossing the “Guillot threshold” in near-surface humidity causes the dry (subcloud) boundary layer to collapse and be replaced by a very cloudy layer with a temperature lapse rate that exceeds the dry adiabatic rate. …”
