Meridional circulation regulates the Sun's interior dynamics and magnetism. While it is well accepted that meridional flows are poleward at the Sun's surface, helioseismic observations have yet to provide a definitive answer for the depth…

A purely analytical wake model for wind turbines is derived, anchored exclusively in physical interactions between atmospheric turbulence and turbine dynamics, and thus inherently accounting for atmospheric stratification. Unlike empirical…
