Correlated Modes of Spatiotemporal Variations between Light-Absorbing Aerosols and Tropospheric Temperature over the Indian Region
(2025-04-28) Chutia, Lakhima; Wang, Jun; Chen, Xi; Lu, Zhendong; Zhou, Meng; Wilcox, Eric M.
Light-absorbing aerosols influence atmospheric temperatures by absorbing solar radiation, thereby altering the contrast between day and night temperatures. This study investigates the correlation between these aerosols and day-night (D-N) temperature

The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicability, ranging from providing foundational advances in the understanding of how thermodynamic principles apply at the nano-scale and in the presence of quantum coherence, to providing a guiding framework for the development of efficient quantum devices. Exquisite levels of control have allowed state-of-the-art experimental platforms to explore energetics and thermodynamics at the smallest scales which has in turn helped to drive theoretical advances. This Roadmap provides an overview of the recent developments across many of the field's sub-disciplines, assessing the key challenges and future prospects, providing a guide for its near term progress.

The XRISM Resolve microcalorimeter array measured the velocities of hot intracluster gas at two positions in the Coma galaxy cluster: 3'x3' squares at the center and at 6' (170 kpc) to the south. We find the line-of-sight velocity dispersions in those regions to be sigma_z=208+-12 km/s and 202+-24 km/s, respectively. The central value corresponds to a 3D Mach number of M=0.24+-0.015 and the ratio of the kinetic pressure of small-scale motions to thermal pressure in the intracluster plasma of only 3.1+-0.4%, at the lower end of predictions from cosmological simulations for merging clusters like Coma, and similar to that observed in the cool core of the relaxed cluster A2029. Meanwhile, the gas in both regions exhibits high line-of-sight velocity differences from the mean velocity of the cluster galaxies, Delta v_z=450+-15 km/s and 730+-30 km/s, respectively. A small contribution from an additional gas velocity component, consistent with the cluster optical mean, is detected along a sightline near the cluster center. The combination of the observed velocity dispersions and bulk velocities is not described by a Kolmogorov velocity power spectrum of steady-state turbulence; instead, the data imply a much steeper effective slope (i.e., relatively more power at larger linear scales). This may indicate either a very large dissipation scale resulting in the suppression of small-scale motions, or a transient dynamic state of the cluster, where large-scale gas flows generated by an ongoing merger have not yet cascaded down to small scales.
Expanding Polar Science Access and Understanding with Immersive XR
(APL Webinars and Events, 2024-08-21) Tack, Naomi; Holschuh, Nicholas; Sharma, Sharad; Williams, Rebecca M.; Engel, Don
We have developed several immersive fence diagrams which allow scientists to be surrounded by the glacier. Our work focuses on intuitive user interaction, similar to mobile map application controls, and hardware independence allowing greater access among the community. Users are able to navigate through physical motion, panning and adjusting scale allowing many areas of the glacier to be observed in relation to each other. We plan to add tools to allow annotations of the ice sheet layer to be made and visualized in order to trace layers throughout glaciers.
