Aerosols and clouds have important effects on Earth's climate through their effects on the radiation budget and the cycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Limitations in our understanding of the global distribution and properties of aerosols and clouds are partly responsible for the current uncertainties in modeling...
Tightness-looseness (TL) is a cultural construct that measures the level of social norms present in a community, and the level of scrutiny of deviance from these norms. This construct offers a unique foundation for investigating how norms influence behavioral processes. Research in TL is relatively young, creating a frontier of...
The importance of active-entry drift at a community-scale
was evaluated by testing whether the placement of wood
in streams affected the abundance of Baetis spp. mayflies in
drift. Baetis were chosen because they use drift as a
behavioral strategy and are important in salmonid diets. The
density of woody debris...
The character of the primary seismic wave in the
range of distances between 100 and 600 km is affected by
such factors as the nature of the source, exponential
attenuation, crustal structure, type of wave propagation,
recording site geology and instrument response. The
first arrivals from the GNOME and SHOAL...
The exchange coefficients for area-averaged surface fluxes can become anomalously large when the large-scale flow is weak and significant fluxes of heat and moisture are driven by mesoscale motions within the averaging or subgrid area. To prevent this erratic behavior of the exchange coefficient, the “subgrid velocity scale” must be...
