Eddies

(a)–(d) are the fitting linear relationships, Dut = Dur, related to the longitudinal velocity after 10-min, 20-min, and 40-min high-pass filtering and without filtering, respectively; (e)–(h) are the fitting linear relationships, Dvt = Dvr, related to the cross velocity after 10-min, 20-min, and 40-min high-pass filtering and without filtering, respectively.

Eddie Van Halen was more than just a keyboard player. He was also pretty good at guitar, and throughout his long career, he proved himself an extraordinary technical innovator. Frequently, these innovations were extremely violent. He'd attack a guitar with a chisel to try fitting a new pickup or moving one around, or lay into it with a chainsaw to make it look like a shark. His most famous axe, the red, white and black "Frankenstrat" was a ragtag bitzer he built from parts, taking a humbucking pickup from a Gibson,…

a and b) Spatial distributions of eddy centroids for Anticyclonic Eddies (AEs) (red) and Cyclonic Eddies (CEs) (blue) with amplitude > .05 m, detected from a) TS015 (panel a) and TS003 (panel b) models, and c) histogram of eddy radius constructed from TS015, TS010 and TS003 for the last year of 3-year model spinup. Red and blue bars stand for AEs and CEs, respectively. The radius range in 50-100 km (denoted by the red box) is zoomed-in the…

This video still of the North Pacific Ocean shows phosphate nutrient concentrations at 500 meters below the ocean surface. The swirls represent small eddies transporting phosphate from the nutrient-rich equator (lighter colors), northward toward the nutrient-depleted subtropics (darker colors).

Screenshot: NetflixIn a special video released by Netflix, actor Joseph Quinn discussed playing Eddie Munson and broke down his journey on Stranger Things season four. The actor revealed that even he didn’t know the fate of the fan-favorite hero when he took on the role, which leads us to believe that perhaps plans for Eddie were in flux. With the number of homages to Eddie—not to mention Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” climbing the charts—we wouldn’t be surprised if the Duffer Brothers figure out a way to bring him…

Image: NetflixStranger Things 4 has been the talk of the town throughout the spring and summer, and in particular its needle drops. The first part of the season featured Max (Sadie Sink) being saved from the thrall of big bad Vecna by listening to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” a scene which helped boost Bush’s song on the charts significantly. The second half of the season features another iconic 80s ballad in the form of Metallica’s 1986 song “Master of Puppets,” and the band has now given the show more than just…

Image: NetflixIt’s no spoiler to say that Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) is just as talented at playing the electric guitar as he was at being aDungeon Master. But to learn the truth behind the most badass moment in Stranger Things’ fourth season finale and you somehow haven’t watched it yet, well, you know what that means.Everyone’s favorite new season four character, Eddie, got a chance to be a hero by drawing away the swarms of demo-bats from Vecna’s lair so Nancy, Steve, and Robin could infiltrate it and set the former…
