In the Spotlight Have you ever had that sinking feeling? 26 June 2017 A blog post by our guest writer, Prof Paul Hardaker, Chief Executive of The Institute of Physics In the Spotlight Why does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? 20 June 2017 There are two questions here. The first is does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? In the Spotlight The jet stream: chicken or egg? 19 June 2017 Does the position of the warm and cold upper air masses determine the route of the jet stream, or does the jet stream determine the position of the cold and warm upper air masses? Which is the chicken and which the egg?
