Global Scale Inversions from MOPITT CO and MODIS AOD

Top-down observational constraints on emissions flux estimates from satellite observations of chemical composition are subject to biases and errors stemming from transport, chemistry and prior emissions pete cromer rainbow lorikeet estimates.In this context, we developed an ensemble data assimilation system to optimize the initial conditions for ca

Influence of group size on the success of wolves hunting bison.

An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at capturing prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished cooperation (i.e., free riding) in large groups.Although this suggests the formation of large groups is unrelated to prey capture, little is known about cooperation in l

A magnetic-field independent approach for strongly anisotropic equations arising plasma-edge transport simulations

[Summary] The control of the power exhaust in tokamaks is still an open issue for the future fusion operations.The heat loads on divertor and limiter PFCs is largely determined by the physics of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), and therefore it depends mainly on the geometry of the magnetic surfaces and on the geometry of wall components.A better charac
