An experimental study on Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in rubidium (Rb) vapor cells containing inert gases at pressures ≤5 Torr is reported. Using an inert-gas-free Rb cell as a reference, we measure frequency shift and line broadening of the EIT spectra with argon, neon, or nitrogen ranging from few mTorr to 5 Torr. The results qualitatively agree pseudo-potential model that includes s-wave scattering between electron inert-gas atoms effect polarization by atoms....

Abstract Sea ice cools Earth by reducing its absorbed solar energy. We combine radiative transfer modeling with satellite‐derived surface albedo, sea ice, and cloud distributions to quantify the top‐of‐atmosphere effect (SIRE).
