  2. ‘We are falling, we will die!’ Scary video from Turkish Airlines flight after 3 failed landing attempts in storm

    Passengers aboard a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Tunisia were left screaming in fear after severe turbulence…

  3. @Umbertogaetani Their simulations suggest that #water rising through narrow dykes would freeze too quickly to supply the volumes needed for features such as chaos terrain, pits, domes or ridges. #Turbulence makes this worse by enhancing heat loss, supercooling the water, producing frazil ice, and clogging the dyke.

    If correct, shallow liquid reservoirs on #Europa may form more by local in situ melting than by direct #ocean-to-surface exchange.

  4. Turbulence and Bioluminescence

    If you’ve ever seen crashing waves glowing blue, you’ve been treated to bioluminescence. Although many creatures can bioluminesce, tiny dinoflagellates–a type of marine phytoplankton–are one of the easiest to spot. These microscopic organisms create a flash of light in response to viscous stresses. Their response to flow-induced stresses is so robust that they can be used to visualize stress fields.

    In a new study, researchers explored how turbulence affects the dinoflagellate’s luminescence. They mathematically modeled the dinoflagellate as an elastic dumbbell that emitted light based on its extent and rate of deformation. Then they explored how this model dinoflagellate behaved in different types of turbulent flows. They found that the fluctuations and intermittency of turbulent flows both encouraged the radiant displays. (Image credit: T. McKinnon; research credit: P. Kumar and J. Picardo)

  5. “Vorticity 6”

    It’s time for another storm-chasing timelapse from photographer Mike Olbinski! “Vorticity 6” focuses on supercell thunderstorms and their tornadoes. There’s billowing turbulent convection, undulating asperitas, bulging mammatus, microbursts, and more. There’s nothing like timelapse to highlight the growth, rotation, and shear involved in these storms. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)
