... The air just sit there and doesn't get stirred. ... Normally, the air is hottest near the ground and gets cooler as you go up. ... If it weren't for the temperature profile, convection wouldn't occur: Because the temperature decreases with altitude, cold air sits on top of hot air, allowing convection. ... The air above the ground is hot, the air above the water is cold. ... The land cools down faster than the sea, so the air above the ground is colder than the air above the water. ...

Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. ... The KINGFISH profiles are well suited to examining trends of dust temperature Tdust and нІ because they span a factor of ~200 in the ISRF intensity heating the bulk of the dust mass, Umin. Results from fitting the profile SEDs suggest that, on average, Tdust, dust optical depth о„dust, and Umin decrease with radius. ...
