A comparision with the modelling results for another long period Mira U Ori is also provided. ...

... 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. ...
