Satellites Reveal Earth Has a Surprising Symmetry In The Way It Reflects light And It Might Be Tied To The El Nino Cycle
Heritage Images via Getty Images For half a century, scientists have known that Earth's Northern and Southern hemispheres have almost the exact same albedo — the amount of sunlight they reflect back to space. This is true even though the two hemispheres look very different, with the Northern Hemisphere having more land and the Southern Hemisphere having more ocean......Continue reading...

A #Venusian atmospheric hydraulic jump is an abrupt slowing and deepening of a fast-moving atmospheric fluid, which creates a massive 6,000-kilometer-wide wave front in the planet's cloud layer. It forces sulfuric acid vapor upward, condensing it into a distinctly visible, planetary-scale line of cloud.

Recreating Atmospheres
In planetary atmospheres, energy and vorticity can cascade from large scales to smaller ones, but the mechanics of this transfer remain somewhat elusive. In a recent experiment, researchers built a lab-scale representation of an atmosphere using a meter-scale rotating annular tank. The outer bottom edge of the tank gets heated–representing the sun’s warming at the equator–while a pipe in the center of the tank gets cooled near the tank surface, which mimics the chilling effect of the poles. Researchers filled the tank with a water-glycerol mixture and recorded how their artificial atmosphere responded at different rotation rates.
Two different rotating atmospheres, colored by vorticity (red clockwise, blue counterclockwise). The left version has a slower rate of rotation, and thus larger length scales.The results show an energy spectrum that’s consistent with atmospheric observations–with a steep drop at large length scales and a flatter one at smaller scales. But interestingly, they also found that the cascade was temperature-dependent in ways that current models don’t predict. Untangling that effect could help us understand not only our atmosphere but those of other planets. (Image credit: tank – H. Scolan, animation – S. Ding et al.; research credit: S.
