Spectropolarimetric insight into plasma sheet dynamics of a solar flare
We examine spectropolarimetric data from the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP) instrument, acquired during the evolution of the 2017 September 10 X8.2 solar flare on the...- publication PDF

Predicted chance that global warming will temporarily exceed 1.5 °C
The Paris Agreement calls for efforts to limit anthropogenic global warming to less than 1.5 degrees C above preindustrial levels. However, natural internal variability may...- publication PDF

Reversed dynamo at small scales and large magnetic prandtl number
We show that at large magnetic Prandtl numbers, the Lorentz force does work on the flow at small scales and drives fluid motions, whose energy is dissipated viscously. This...- publication PDF
