Physics of the Earth’s Glacial Cycle
The evolution of the atmospheric temperature in the past, resulted from the EPICA project (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) for the analysis of air bubbles in ice deposits near three weather stations in Antarctica, includes several glacial ...

An extra-heating mechanism in Doppler-cooling experiments [PDF]
In this paper we experimentally and theoretically investigate laser cooling of Strontium 88 atoms in one dimensional optical molasses. In our case, since the optical cooling dipole transition involves a $J_g=0$ groundstate, no Sisyphus-type mechanisms ...

Insights into Earth’s Energy Imbalance from Multiple Sources
Abstract The current Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) can best be estimated from changes in ocean heat content (OHC), complemented by top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation measurements and an assessment of the small non-ocean components. Sustained observations from the Argo array of autonomous profiling floats enable near-global estimates of ...

Kinetic thin current sheets: their formation in relation to magnetotail mesoscale turbulent dynamics [PDF]
Dynamics of the magnetotail plasma sheet (PS) features nonlinear structures on two totally different scales. There are very thin current sheets (CS) on kinetic scale of the ion gyroradius.

Zintl Chemistry for Designing High Efficiency Thermoelectric Materials [PDF]
Zintl phases and related compounds are promising thermoelectric materials; for instance, high zT has been found in Yb_(14)MnSb_(11), clathrates, and the filled skutterudites.

Forcing and response in simulated 20th and 21st century surface energy and precipitation trends
A simple methodology is applied to a transient integration of the Met Office Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version1 (UKMO-HadGEM1) fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model in order to separate forcing from climate response in ...

Surmounting the sign problem in non-relativistic calculations: a case study with mass-imbalanced fermions [PDF]
The calculation of the ground state and thermodynamics of mass-imbalanced Fermi systems is a challenging many-body problem. Even in one spatial dimension, analytic solutions are limited to special configurations and numerical progress with standard Monte

Energy Imbalance Between the Earth and Space Controls the Climate [PDF]
The climate system depends at an extremely complex set of long-term (about 30 years or more) physical processes in the ocean-land-atmosphere systems, which, in turn, are influenced mainly quasi-bicentennial variations of the total solar irradiance (TSI). The TSI decline phase started around 1990.

Enhanced Pauli blocking of light scattering in a trapped Fermi gas [PDF]
Pauli blocking of spontaneous emission by a single excited-state atom has been predicted to be dramatic at low temperature when the Fermi energy $E_\mathrm{F}$ exceeds the recoil energy $E_\mathrm{R}$.
