The Role of Tidal Mixing in Regulating the Poleward Meridional Heat Transport
Abstract Based on an earth‐system climate model, a series of numerical experiments with different scaling factors of tidal mixing parameterization were conducted to study the impact of tidal mixing diffusivity on global meridional heat transport (MHT) in the ocean. Results show that an increase in vertical diffusivity κ associated with tidal mixing can

Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Reveals Anisotropic Water Transport in Smectite Thin Film
Clay minerals, vital in advanced technologies, exhibit tunable interfacial properties. Quasielastic neutron scattering is used on oriented beidellite films to study charge‐induced anisotropy. Results reveal anisotropic water dynamics and orientation‐dependent diffusion.

Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties to predict shifts in montane forest carbon-water relations. [PDF]
This study was designed to address a major source of uncertainty pertaining to coupled carbon-water cycles in montane forest ecosystems. The Sierra Nevada of California was used as a model system to investigate connections between the physiological ...

The polymeric adsorption of Hg(II) and the assessment of ecotoxicity. ABSTRACT In this study, an adsorbent was produced by the copolymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide, followed by cross‐linking. The impact of pH, duration of contact, concentration, presence of interfering ions, and reuse was investigated.

Modulation of the Ocean Surface Skin Temperature and Heat Flux in the Presence of Strong SST Fronts
Abstract Previous studies of air‐sea interactions over sharp oceanic fronts have suggested that it is the ocean that drives the atmosphere across sub‐mesoscale ocean fronts, but it is the atmosphere that drives the ocean at synoptic scales; the responsible mechanism, however, is still a matter of debate.

Geoecology of limestone‐hosted dryland calcicolous plants, North Otago, New Zealand
ABSTRACT Dryland calcicolous plants are drought‐tolerant species that are adapted to survive on alkaline low‐nutrient bare substrates derived from limestone around the world. Outcrops of the Otekaike Limestone of North Otago host some rare low‐growing (<10 cm) endemic calcicoles, and conservation reserves have been created at some localities.

Nitrate Concentrations of Ground Water from Limestone and Dolomitic Aquifers in the Northeastern Washington County Area, Arkansas [PDF]
The Ozark Region of Arkansas is a major poultry-producing area of the United States. Large quantities of poultry waste are spread as fertilizer on thin soils of pastureland overlying limestone and dolomitic aquifers.

Abstract On 9 October 2022, a powerful gamma ray burst (GRB), GRB221009A, caused significant changes in the electron density of the lower ionosphere, as evidenced by VLF (3–30 kHz) radio wave observations. However, GRB221009A did not yield any observable signatures at the Schumann resonances (∼8, ∼14 Hz), which are also sensitive to the lower ...
