CMIP6: Not-so-sudden stratospheric cooling

Real Climate

In the band of radiation where CO2 absorbs a lot (~15 $mu$m), increasing CO2 levels in the troposphere make it ever harder for those photons to get to the stratosphere or above. 9919-9933, 2018. Thompson et al. We are using the NOAA-STAR version 3.0 of these products (Zou et al., The basic concept is easy to grasp though. Rozanov, A.

A review of AAPM task groups 218 and 219

Physics World

This lead to his expanded interest in radiation dosimetry, quality assurance, and radiation measurements/simulations. His doctoral thesis was focused on linear accelerators and investigated calibrating radiation detectors closer to clinical delivery conditions.

Experimental evidence found for long-distance intermolecular forces

Physics World

The forces are mediated by electromagnetic radiation, and they could explain how molecules find their targets inside the crowded interiors of living cells. In the 1960s, the theoretical physicist Herbert Fröhlich suggested that the resonant exchange of radiation between macromolecules and their cognate partners could be the answer.

Orange glow and plants below: Wildfire smoke’s impact on crops

HumanNature

Smoke-driven changes in radiation have real world consequences beyond making for good film fodder and beautiful sunsets. For one, plants rely on solar radiation to grow, and the U.S. agricultural regions lie in the path of wildfire smoke, we need to understand how radiation changes impact different types of crops.

MANDELA nuclear-physics laboratories open in South Africa

Physics World

Part of that partnership between South Africa and the UK saw some 20 students from the two South African universities travel to York in 2018 and 2019, where they worked on radiation detectors and ran Monte Carlo computer simulations of new detector designs. .
