Satellite observations of planetary waves in the mesosphere

Nature, 1976
THE pressure modulator radiometer (PMR) is one of the instruments carried by the Nimbus 6 observatory satellite launched on June 12, 1975 into a near polar circular orbit at an altitude of ∼ 1,000 km. The PMR sounds atmospheric temperature in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere (the 40–95 km height range) by measuring infrared emission from ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES EMITTED BY EXTRASOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS

International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2000
In this paper we consider the Extrasolar Planetary Systems recently discovered in our Galaxy as potential sources of gravitational waves. We estimate the frequency and characteristic amplitude of the radiation they emit due to the orbital motion, using the quadrupole formalism.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Planetary Wave Signature in Low Latitude Sporadic E Layer Obtained From Multi‐Mission Radio Occultation Observations

Earth and Space Science
The Sporadic E layer or Es is an ionospheric phenomenon characterized by enhancements in electron density within 90–120 km above the Earth's surface. Based on the wind shear theory, the formation of Es layers is associated with vertical shears in the ...

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Beware of Inertial Instability Masquerading as Gravity Waves in Stratospheric Temperature Perturbations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Rapp, Dörnbrack, and Preusse (2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL079142) uses radio occultation observations and meteorological data from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting to quantify the effect of inertial instability on ...

A dynamics-based separation of deep and shallow stratospheric circulation branches [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
The wave-driven Brewer–Dobson circulation plays a crucial role in determining the transport of trace gases and aerosols in the stratosphere. We examine the structure of the circulation based on reanalysis data (ERA5, ERA-Interim, MERRA2, and JRA55) and ...

Stiffness‐Programmable Origami Robots With Tendon‐Driven Actuation via Multimaterial 3D Printing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Motion diversity is achieved in a tendon‐driven origami robot through programmable stiffness rather than modified actuation. Multimaterial 3D printing embeds soft creases, modular inserts redirect identical tendon inputs into distinct behaviors, and variable‐stiffness inserts enable real‐time switching.
