Reflections on the Scientific Legacy of Sergej S. Zilitinkevich on PBL and Urban Parameterizations in NWP Models
The paper summarizes many of the scientific achievements of Professor Sergej S. Zilitinkevich (1936–2021). It first focuses on his basic and applied atmospheric boundary layer research contributions. It then reviews their applications within research and operational numerical weather prediction and air quality modeling, showing their contribution to solving modeling problems related to extremely-stable and -unstable boundary layers

Synthetic Light Curves of Shocked Dense Circumstellar Shells
We numerically investigate light curves (LCs) of shocked circumstellar shells
which are suggested to reproduce the observed LC of superluminous SN 2006gy
analytically. In the previous analytical model, the effects of the
recombination and the bolometric correction on LCs are not taken into account.
To see the effects, we perform numerical radiation hydrodynamic calculations of
shocked shells by using STELLA, which can numerically treat multigroup
radiation transfer with realistic opacities. We show that the effects of the
recombination and the bolometric correction are significant and the analytical
model should be compare to the bolometric LC instead of a single band LC. We
find that shocked circumstellar shells have a rapid LC decline initially
because of the adiabatic expansion rather than the luminosity increase and the
shocked shells fail to explain the LC properties of SN 2006gy. However, our
synthetic LCs are qualitatively similar to those of superluminous SN 2003ma and
SN 1988Z and they may be related to shocked circumstellar shells.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, accepted by Monthly Notices of the Royal

Narrowband Biphoton Generation due to Long-Lived Coherent Population Oscillations
We study the generation of paired photons due to the effect of four-wave
mixing in an ensemble of pumped two-level systems that decay via an
intermediate metastable state. The slow population relaxation of the metastable
state to the ground state is utilized to create long-lived coherent population
oscillation, leading to narrowband nonlinear response of the medium. The
biphotons have a narrow bandwidth, long coherence time and length, which can be
controlled by the pump field. In addition, the biphotons are antibunched, with
antibunching period determined by the dephasing time. During this period,
damped oscillations of the biphoton wavefunction occurs if the pump detuning is
non-zero.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
