Mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) are commonly observed in midlatitude and tropical regions during the warm season. Frequently a by-product of mesoscale convective systems, they are of particular concern due to their long lifetime and their continual generation of new convection, often with attendant heavy...
ABSTRACT Many aspects of geophysical flows can be described compactly in terms of potential vorticity dynamics. Since potential temperature can fluctuate at boundaries, however, the boundary conditions for potential vorticity dynamics are inhomogeneous, which complicates considerations of potential vorticity dynamics when boundary effects...
NASA is wrestling with a potentially dangerous problem in a spacecraft, this time in a moon rocket that hasn't even been built yet.Engineers are concerned that the new rocket meant to replace the space shuttle and send astronauts on their way to the moon could...
