Unveiling the Pressure Gradient’s Influence on Dual Cyclones: Exploring the Fujiwhara Effect in Earth Science
Wildlife & BiologyGetting Started The interaction between cyclones, or tropical cyclones, is a fascinating phenomenon in the field of meteorology. One particular type of interaction is known as the Fujiwhara effect, named after the Japanese meteorologist Sakuhei Fujiwhara, who first described it in the early 20th century. The Fujiwhara effect occurs when two cyclones are in close
The Vital Shield: Unraveling the Significance of the Ozone Layer in Shielding the Stratosphere from Harmful UV Rays
Weather & ForecastsThe Importance of the Ozone Layer in Absorbing UV Radiation The ozone layer, a region of the Earth’s stratosphere, plays a critical role in protecting life on our planet by absorbing a significant portion of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This shield is formed by the presence of ozone (O3) molecules, which are composed
