Stability of Pluto's atmosphere

Icarus, 1982
L. Trafton (1980, Icarus 44, 53–61) has pointed out that a substantial methane atmosphere, observed on Pluto by U. Fink, B.A. Smith, D.C. Benner, J.R. Johnson, and H.J. Reitsema (1980, Icarus44, 62–71), appears to be unstable against blowoff. The difficulty is shown to disappear if the actual heat balance and thermal structure are considered, instead ...

Atmospheric stability and atmospheric circulation in Athens, Greece

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1996
In the evaluation and study of atmospheric pollution reference is always made to the stability criteria. These criteria, usually represented as functions of different meteorological data such as wind speed and direction, temperature, solar radiation, etc., play a very important role in the investigation of different parameters that affect the build up ...

Atmospheric stability in cell culture vessels

In Vitro, 1976
We have investigated that atmospheric stability in polystyrene and glass cell culture vessels by measuring the dissolved O2 and CO2 in the media of both seeded and unseeded culture vessels incubated at 37 degrees C. There was no diffusion of either O2 or CO2 through glass vessels.

The photolytic stability of the Martian atmosphere

Planetary and Space Science, 1973
Several recent suggestions for stabilizing the Martian atmosphere against photolysis have proved untenable. However, downward convective transport as well as a low altitude (0-35 km) aerosol, which catalyzes two-body molecular recombination reactions, can bring about such stability.

The stability of magnetohydrostatic atmospheres

Solar Physics, 1983
Using the analysis of Schindler et al. (1983) and Hood (1983), the ‘local’ stability of Zweibel (1981) is extended to include the previously neglected magnetic tension terms. A particular magnetohydrostatic field is shown to be stable if the parameter, 2βH, is small enough. This is in contradiction to the previous ‘local’ analysis.

The Stability of Stellar Atmospheres

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1984
There have been extensive calculations of model atmospheres of stars over the past few decades. Almost all of these calculations have assumed radiative equilibrium. Except for convection, very little work has been done on the stability of the surface layers of stars at small optical depths.

Measuring and Estimating Atmospheric Stability

2021
The only way to estimate atmospheric stability at a given place and time is to understand the vertical profile of temperature. There are several mechanisms for assessing the stability condition based on the temperature profile. A global network of sites where instrument packages called radiosondes are launched synchronously twice daily measure, among ...

Atmospheric stability from scintillation measurements

Applied Optics, 1988
The Obukhov length L is an important meteorological parameter that quantifies the stability of the atmospheric surface layer. Consequently, routine monitoring of L with simple instruments is desirable. I describe here such a monitoring scheme, the SFS method, that has the added advantage of yielding a spatially averaged estimate of L.

Global stability of atmospheric oxygen

European Review, 1993
The atmospheric oxygen reserve is so huge that, in the short term of hundreds or thousands of years, only minor changes can be expected due to fossil fuel burning and deforestation. Each oxygen molecule passes through a living organism, on average, only once in 9000 years.
