Atmospheric Boundary Layer Stability in Urban Beijing: Insights from Meteorological Tower and Doppler Wind Lidar by Linlin Wang, Bingcheng Wan, Yuanjian Yang, Sihui Fan, Yi Jing, Xueling Cheng, Zhiqiu Gao, Shiguang Miao, Han Zou

“…Strong stable regimes are more frequently observed during winter and autumn, peaking during transitions from night to day. Furthermore, both strong unstable and strong stable regimes occur under very weak wind conditions (indicating weak dynamic instability), with strong instability associated with high net radiation levels while strong stability correlates with low net radiation conditions (indicative of robust thermal stability). …”

Wind, Water Level, and Fluid Mud Thresholds in Lake Apopka, Florida by Earl J. Hayter, Ashish J. Mehta, John M. Jaeger, Arnoldo Valle-Levinson, Andrew J. Manning, Carola Forlini

“…Predictive modeling suggests that in 2 m water depth the required wind would be about 14 m s⁻¹ with a low probability of 2%. Moreover, a transition occurs from wave-dominant resuspension at low depths to current-dominance in deeper water, which likely influences BBL dynamics with potential effects on the benthic biota. …”

Fast Transitions of X-Ray Variability in the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary Cygnus X-2 by Liang Zhang, Mariano Méndez, Hua Feng, Diego Altamirano, Zi-xu Yang, Qing-chang Zhao, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Lian Tao, Yue Huang, Xiang Ma, Shu-mei Jia, Ming-yu Ge, Li-Ming Song, Jin-Lu Qu, Shu Zhang

“…We present a spectral-timing analysis of two NICER observations of the weakly magnetized neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2. During these observations, we detect a rapid transition from a narrow 50 Hz horizontal-branch oscillation (HBO) to a broad 5 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO), accompanied by an increase in source flux and a decrease in spectral hardness. …”
