The Earth’s own gravitational field interferes with a simulated central force-field with the given parameters of the model which makes microgravity conditions of \(\mathrm \) (e.g. AtmoFlow aims to observe flows in a thin spherical gap that are subjected to a central force-field. Understanding the interaction between atmospheric circulation and a planet’s climate, be it Earth, Mars, Jupiter, or a distant exoplanet, contributes to various fields of research such as astrophysics, geophysics, fluid physics, and climatology. Gaining fundamental knowledge on the origin and behavior of flow phenomena such as global cells and planetary waves is interesting not only from a meteorological perspective. The main objective of the AtmoFlow experiment is the investigation of convective flows in the spherical gap geometry. The "high contrast" of these very different atmospheres and oceans is valuable in instilling the open-mindedness that is essential in understanding excoplanets and Nuclear Winter and Post-Climate-Apocalypse earth. These differences are a crushing debunk of the flat earh heresy, if one were needed.
We show that weather and ocean flows on a flat, nonrotating earth and a rotating spherical planet are wildly different.
As such, this case is very useful to geophysics instructors. Altough this has the disadvantage that this geometry is a completely imaginary, there is a rich larray of videos by flat earth proponents whose errors illuminate how concepts can be misconceived and misapplied by amateurs and freshman science studients. Here, we look at atmospheric and oceanic dynamics on a flat earth, that is a disc-shaped planet rather like Sir Terry Pratchet's fantasy Discworld. To build insight into the atmosphere and ocean, it is useful to apply qualitative reasoning to predict the geophysical fluid dynamicss of worlds radically different from our own such as exoplanets, earth in Nuclear Winter, other solar system worlds, and far future terrestial climates.
