Impact of Ozone Valley over the Tibetan Plateau on the South Asian High in CAM5 by Zhenkun Li, Hao Qin, Dong Guo, Shunwu Zhou, Ying Huang, Yucheng Su, Linwei Wang, Yang Sun

“…The reason for enhancement of SAH is that removal of OVTP increasing ozone in 200–30 hPa leads to significant enhancement of longwave and shortwave radiative heating rate in SAH region in June, and then enhancement of horizontal divergence resulting from the radiative warming leads to strengthening of SAH influenced by the Coriolis force, while the colder SAH is primarily caused by dynamic processes. …”

Pattern Formation inside a Rotating Cylinder Partially Filled with Liquid and Granular Medium by Veronika Dyakova, Victor Kozlov, Denis Polezhaev

“…The paper focuses on the experimental study of the dynamics of liquid and granular medium in a rapidly rotating horizontal cylinder. In the cavity frame gravity field performs rotation and produces oscillatory liquid flow, which is responsible for the series of novel effects; the problem corresponds to “vibrational mechanics”—generation of steady flows and patterns by oscillating force field. …”
