The Sensitivity of Characteristics of Large Scale Baroclinic Unstable Waves in Southern Hemisphere to the Underlying Climate by Sergei Soldatenko, Chris Tingwell

“…Two types of waves are considered: synoptic scale waves and planetary scale (ultralong) waves based on an Eady-type model and model with vertically averaged primitive equations. Sensitivity functions are obtained that estimate the impact of variations in σ0 and Λ on the growth rate and other characteristics of unstable waves and demonstrate that waves belonging to the short-wave part of the spectrum of unstable waves are more sensitive to changes in the static stability parameter than waves belonging to the long-wave part of the spectrum. …”

Le Parménide de Platon : une cosmologie sans kosmos ? by Gabrièle Wersinger Taylor

“…It is so because it fails to reconcile the contraries in a selective and musical “sumplokè” capable of building a kosmos involving a mathematical model (logistikè) that could establish a medium between the opposites. Parmenides’ model functions as a repellent for this kosmological model, the inspiration of which is Pythagorean (whether it is Plato’s fiction or not is not a question we shall enter here) because, among all, it lacks of harmony and music by privileging diakrisis and the goddess Necessity, associated to parturitions incapable of generating a kosmos.…”

Hydroclimate risk to electricity balancing throughout the U.S by Lauren Dennis, Caitlin Grady

“…Although hydropower produces a relatively small portion of the electricity we use in the United States, it is a flexible and dispatchable resource that serves various critical functions for managing the electricity grid. Climate-induced changes to water availability will affect future hydropower production, and such changes could impact how the areas where the supply and demand of electricity are balanced, called balancing authority areas, are able to meet decarbonization goals. …”
