, 2010 The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

Temporal variability of tidal and gravity waves during a record long 10-day continuous lidar sounding [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Gravity waves (GWs) as well as solar tides are a key driving mechanism for the circulation in the Earth's atmosphere. The propagation of gravity waves is strongly affected by tidal waves as they modulate the mean background wind field and vice versa ...

Characteristics of gravity waves generated in the jet-front system in a baroclinic instability simulation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 An idealized baroclinic instability case is simulated using a ∼ 10 km resolution global model to investigate the characteristics of gravity waves generated in the baroclinic life cycle.

Horizon effects with surface waves on moving water
, 2010 Copyright © 2010 IOP PublishingSurface waves on a stationary flow of water are considered, in a linear model that includes the surface tension of the fluid. The resulting gravity-capillary waves experience a rich array of horizon effects when propagating

Analysis of the Ducted Gravity Waves Generated by Elevated Convection over Complex Terrain in China
AtmosphereGravity waves play a crucial role in the evolution of convective systems. The unique thermal structure of elevated convection occurring above a stable boundary layer facilitates the generation and propagation of gravity waves.

Dynamical influence of gravity waves generated by the Vestfjella Mountains in Antarctica: radar observations, fine-scale modelling and kinetic energy budget analysis [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2012 Gravity waves generated by the Vestfjella Mountains (in western Droning Maud Land, Antarctica, southwest of the Finnish/Swedish Aboa/Wasa station) have been observed with the Moveable atmospheric radar for Antarctica (MARA) during the SWEDish Antarctic ...

The atmospheric background situation in northern Scandinavia during January/February 2003 in the context of the MaCWAVE campaign [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2006 The atmosphere background wind field controls the propagation of gravity waves from the troposphere through the stratosphere into the mesosphere. During January 2003 the MaCWAVE campaign took place at Esrange, with the purpose of observing vertically ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...
