The dipole moment is a measure of the distribution of electrical charges within a molecule. In this case, changes in the dipole moment of the receptor when it binds to an odor molecule are key to ...
Both weather events have been linked to higher-than-usual temperature differences between the two sides of the Indian Ocean - something meteorologists refer to as the Indian Ocean Dipole.
In the last 120 years, the Earth’s dipole moment has decreased while the non-dipole moment has increased, which means the contribution from the dipole (non-dipole) field has decreased (increased).
The following is an excerpt from a recent article on the Weather West Blog. A record-breaking north-south precipitation contrast conditions in CA amid warmer-than-average conditions Heading into the ...
