Thermal radiation is omnipresent, radiated by any object in the universe, including universe itself. For a long time, Planckian radiation was used as a reliable “fingerprint” of a thermal state of a matter – human body, homes, industrial objects and, regrettably, weapons, among many other things [1]. Here we provide an overview of thermal measurements in biophotonics in order to study how life...
The predictability of mesoscale convective phenomena is limited by the rapid transfer of energy between the large-scale and microscale as the result of the initial conditions, the natural constraints imposed by synoptic-scale forcing, and physical processes. Uncertainties are the greatest challenge when predicting the initiation of convection as the most difficult aspects of convection, due...
Although the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change, gives clear quantitative pictures about climate change and increasing the mean Earth’s temperature due to increasing greenhouse gas concentration, the general public concern and scientific debate still continue [1]. A clear identification of the...
The aim of this research was to analyze the earthquake hazard of the Eastern Macedonian seismogenic zone by determining the a and b values in Gutenberg-Richter law. For this purpose, the previously known division of the zone to six epicentral areas was used. The b and a values were calculated for the epicentral areas where the seismic data permits, using the least square method. Using...
There is a growing amount of evidence of possible connections between the geomagnetic field and ozone production in the lower stratosphere. They emphasize the control the geomagnetic field can exercise on production and distribution of ozone, thus inflicting minor changes in climate patterns. In the present study we investigate such connection for other atmospheric gases, namely water vapor....
