A tropical ocean-atmosphere model of intermediate complexity, incorporating a limited set of physical processes, is used to investigate variability up to interannual timescales. The model atmosphere has a single vertical mode and an explicit moisture budget, whereas the ocean has one active upper layer. Basic experiments confined to a Pacific-size closed ocean basin and the overlying atmosphere are described. Eastward-propagating coupled waves with a period of about six years arise for strong coupling, but with weak coupling a steady equilibrium is reached. The model has no internal high-frequency variability, so for some cases a small amount of noise is added to the atmospheric forcing terms. This noise is selectively amplified by moist processes in the atmosphere to generate eastward-propagating intraseasonal waves. It is found that these waves have little effect on the robust interannual coupled wave: rather, the interannual mode imposes large-scale patterns that inhibit the intraseasonal waves.

A simple explanation is presented for the observed interannual changes in the dominant space and time scales of Northem Hemisphere winter extratropical high frequency variability. It is found that such changes can suc- cessfully be predicted by linearizing a 2-level quasi-geostrophic mode] in spherical geometry around the ob- served zona] mean states. The mechanisms responsible for the selection of the most unstable normal mode are investigated.

<p>Radial alignments between pairs of spacecraft is the only way to observationally investigate the turbulent evolution of the solar wind as it expands throughout interplanetary space. On September 2020 Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO) were nearly perfectly radially aligned, with PSP orbiting around its perihelion at 0.1 au (and crossing the nominal Alfvén point) and SolO at 1 au. PSP/SolO joint observations of the same solar wind plasma allow the extraordinary and unprecedented opportunity to study how the turbulence properties of the solar wind evolve in the inner heliosphere over the wide distance of 0.9 au. The radial evolution of (i) the MHD properties (such as radial dependence of low- and high-frequency breaks, compressibility, Alfvénic content of the fluctuations), (ii) the polarization status, (iii) the presence of wave modes at kinetic scale as well as their distribution in the plasma instability-temperature anisotropy plane are just few instances of what can be addressed. Of furthest interest is the study of whether and how the cascade transfer and dissipation rates evolve with the solar distance, since this has great impact on the fundamental plasma physical processes related to the heating of the solar wind. In this talk I will present some of the results obtained by exploiting the PSP/SolO alignment data.</p>

Formation of nanostructure states on the surface of materials exposed to concentrated flows of energy is one of the relevant problems of modern materials processing. In the paper the authors describe the mechanism of the micro-scale droplets formation based on the study and modeling of the physical processes and technological aspects of the interaction between the heterogenic plasma flows and the molten substance at the electrode tip. The authors show new physical mechanisms and criteria for micro-and nanoparticles origination, develop a physical-mathematical model of the interaction between the molten metal and the plasma discharge with imposed high-frequency pulse action.

The exact mechanisms for the decrease in R-R interval (RRI) during acute physiological hyperinsulinemia with euglycemia are unknown. Power spectral analysis of RRI and microneurographic recordings of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in 16 normal subjects provided markers of autonomic control during 90-min hyperinsulinemic/euglycemic clamps. By infusing propranolol and insulin ( n = 6 subjects), we also explored the contribution of heightened cardiac sympathetic activity to the insulin-induced decrease in RRI. Slight decreases in RRI ( P < 0.001) induced by sevenfold increases in plasma insulin could not be suppressed by propranolol. Insulin increased MSNA by more than twofold ( P < 0.001), decreased the high-frequency variability of RRI ( P< 0.01), but did not affect the absolute low-frequency variability of RRI. These results suggest that reductions in cardiac vagal tone and modulation contribute at least in part to the reduction in RRI during hyperinsulinemia. Moreover, more than twofold increases in MSNA occurring concurrently with a slight and not purely sympathetically mediated tachycardia suggest regionally nonuniform increases in sympathetic activity during hyperinsulinemia in humans.
