Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

Creator:: Kincaid, Joshua J.
Abstract:: The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...

Space-time scales of temperature variability in the seasonal thermocline of Lake Tahoe

Creator:: Brubaker, John Merrill
Abstract:: Thermal structure in the seasonal thermocline at Lake Tahoe was investigated through the analysis of vertical temperature profiles taken in the upper 70 m during late summer stratification. Different ranges of horizontal and temporal scales were sampled in each of three subsets of finestructure profiles: (1) a three-week sequence at...
