The Delta-Eddington Approximation for a Vertically Inhomogeneous Atmosphere
The delta-Eddington approximation of Joseph, Wiscombe, and Weinman (1976) is extended to an atmosphere divided up by internal levels into homogeneous layers. Flux continuity is...- publication PDF

Impact of changes in the Sun's conveyor-belt on recent solar cycles
Plasma flowing poleward at the solar surface and returning equatorward near the base of the convection zone, called the meridional circulation, constitutes the Sun's conveyor-...- publication PDF
