  2. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    Schumann resonances occur because the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a closed, although variable-sized, waveguide. The limited dimensions of the Earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the extremely low frequency band. The cavity is naturally excited by ...

  3. Theta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_wave

    Theta waves recorded from above the hippocampus are smaller, and polarity-reversed with respect to the fissure signals. The strongest theta waves are generated by the CA1 layer, and the most significant input driving them comes from the entorhinal cortex, via the direct EC→CA1 pathway.

  4. Mikheyev–Smirnov–Wolfenstein effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikheyev–Smirnov...

    In the case of normal neutrino mass hierarchy, and ,, transitions occurred inside the star, then and oscillated inside the Earth. Due to the differences in the distance traveled by neutrinos to Kamiokande, IMB and Baksan within the Earth, the MSW effect can partially explain the difference of the Kamiokande and IMB energy spectrum of events.

  5. Seismic anisotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_anisotropy

    The favored methods for detecting seismic anisotropy are shear wave splitting, seismic tomography of surface waves and body waves, and converted-wave scattering in the context of a receiver function. In shear-wave splitting, the S wave splits into two orthogonal polarizations, corresponding to the fastest and slowest wavespeeds in that medium ...

  6. Shocks and discontinuities (magnetohydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocks_and_discontinuities...

    In magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), shocks and discontinuities are transition layers where properties of a plasma change from one equilibrium state to another. The relation between the plasma properties on both sides of a shock or a discontinuity can be obtained from the conservative form of the MHD equations, assuming conservation of mass, momentum, energy and of .

  7. Coriolis frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_frequency

    Consider a body (for example a fixed volume of atmosphere) moving along at a given latitude at velocity in the Earth's rotating reference frame. In the local reference frame of the body, the vertical direction is parallel to the radial vector pointing from the center of the Earth to the location of the body and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to this vertical direction and in the ...

  8. Waves in the sky: Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds spotted in Canada

    What she saw was a Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud, named after Hermann von Helmholtz, who discovered the atmospheric instability that leads to this phenomenon. These waves in the s Waves in the sky ...

  9. Relativistic Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Doppler_effect

    Identical expressions for relativistic Doppler shift are obtained when performing the analysis in the reference frame of the receiver with a moving source. This matches up with the expectations of the principle of relativity , which dictates that the result can not depend on which object is considered to be the one at rest.
