Convection cells can form in any fluid. In addition to the Sun (and my coffee), we see them in Earth's atmosphere and in the mantle, but another fun food example is miso soup.The size of the ...

These cloud patterns can be observed in satellite images of the Earth and often exhibit distinct cell-like structures associated with organized convection at scales of tens of kilometres1,2,3.

Hawaii's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope is giving us a detailed look at sunspots and convection cells. By Laura Baisas Published May 22, 2023 1:00 PM EDT ...

Ocean currents, the atmosphere of Venus, the surface of the sun and a bowl of miso soup all have one thing in common: They convect. Here's how to check that out. More home experiments » Clock the ...

A 280-Mile-Wide Ring Formed by Convection. The image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite, shows a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell ...

Purdue University researchers have proposed that the polygons seen in the images could be individual Rayleigh–Bénard convection cells. ... who was a graduate student at Purdue the time of the research ...

Scientists have fully mapped convection cells in Earth’s magnetic field for the first time using Cluster data. Results show that the behaviour of the cells is heavily linked to solar activity ...

The study is the most compelling claim anyone has made about detecting giant convection cells, says Mark Miesch, an astrophysicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo ...

"When thinking of a Mars-like atmosphere on Earth, ... (140 kph); these high-speed winds cause the convection cells to be elongated in the direction the winds blow.

The polygons also can provide information about the depth of the pool of nitrogen through known ratios of width to depth for individual cells of convection, he said. Data show the polygons are 20 ...
