The Clouds of Venus in a Global Context

The two defining characteristics of the planet Venus are its atmospheric super-rotation and the planet-enshrouding cloud layers. The clouds reflect more than 70% of the incident solar flux back into space, but about half of the solar flux that is received by the planet is absorbed at the altitudes occupied by the clouds. But for its massive greenhouse effect, the planet Venus would be even cooler than Earth, despite being located closer to the Sun. The clouds play a pivotal role here, too, as they are the fourth largest contributor to this greenhouse effect, following CO2, H2O, and SO2. Thus, a large fraction of the incident solar flux and a significant fraction of the upwelling infrared flux are absorbed by the Venusian cloud layers. This energy deposition possibly plays a significant role in sustaining the global super-rotation of Venus in which the entire atmosphere circles the planet with periods of as little as four days at the cloud tops. However, these clouds are also highly variable, especially when viewed at ultraviolet and near infrared wavelengths. In this talk, I discuss the value of multispectral analysis of Venus in characterizing the properties of the planet’s clouds and their role in the global energy and momentum budgets; especially when coupled with in situ measurements of the clouds themselves.https://commons.und.edu/ss-colloquium/1051/thumbnail.jp

Measurement of Isothermal Pressure of Lattice Gas by Random Walk

We present a computational random walk method of measuring the isothermal pressure of the lattice gas with and without the excluded volume interaction. The method is based on the discretization of the exact thermodynamic relation for the pressure. The simulation results are in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions.Comment: 10 Pages, 2 Figures, Teaching Material. To Appear in Physica

The Pine Needle, vol. 4, no. 4

Libraries and archives collect materials from different cultures and time periods to preserve and make available the historical record. As a result, materials such as those presented here may reflect sexist, misogynistic, abusive, racist, or discriminatory attitudes or actions that some may find disturbing, harmful, or difficult to view. Both a humor and literary magazine, The Pine Needle was a University of Maine student periodical that began publication in the fall of 1946, the first post-World War II semester that saw GI\u27s returning to campus. Unlike past UMaine student publications, The Needle celebrated the sexualization of co-eds and the use of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol by students. Outrage expressed by older alumni resulted stricter oversight of the magazine beginning in 1947. By 1949, the first wave of World War II GI\u27s were graduating and the restless, rebellious tone of The Needle began to shift as the threat of the Korean War loomed. Cover art for the May 1950, Springtime issue features a pen-and-ink drawing by Bill Fogler, of a buxom statue of a female wearing a stylized, classical Greek gown. The form stands atop a low pedestal captioned, Spring Morning. The figure overlays a background of stripes. The line-drawn background include figures evocative of mythical love, sex, and contrast between humans’ baser animal nature and civilized behavior. Figures include cupid, Pan, a unicorn,Centaurides, rabbits, birds, and flowers. William A. Fogler (1929-1998), son of Raymond H. and Mabel Fogler graduated from the University of Maine in 1951 before going on to earn a degree in design from Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, N.Y. He earned a master\u27s degree from Tufts University before completing his doctorate in Visual Psychology from the same institution in 1969. Fogler joined the Pratt Institute in 1962 as a part-time faculty member, receiving his full-time appointment in 1964. Fogler taught in the Foundation and Industrial Design departments at Pratt and was known through the college as Dr. Design. He was only two years from retiring as a full professor when he died of cancer in 1998
