These thermal tides in Earth’s atmosphere are driven by sunlight. The natural resonance the researchers found billions of years ago was caused, they think, by the planet’s warmer atmosphere ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Tokyo has created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. The work has been ...

In the past, I have studied synchronization in astrophysical contexts (planetary rings, etc) using N-body simulations, developed methods of delineating solar and lunar atmospheric tides on Earth, and ...
