Turns out Sam Tarly learned a thing or two at maester school 바카라 게임 웹사이트 aside from horribly disgusting , that is.
The fantasy world featured in HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones" meets real-life science in an in-depth, nine-page paper on the planet's odd weather.
"" is purportedly written by Tarly, the bookish Night's Watch member, and published in the fictional "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of King's Landing.
In reality, it's a fun project from by the University of Bristol's Cabot Institute in the UK.
The mock climate model investigates things like why the world has extended seasons and how wind speeds determine the Iron Fleet's dominance and invading dragon attack routes. It even offers predictions of summer hibernation zones for villainous White Walkers and suggests that while winter is here for now, global warming may be coming next.
Even if it's not about Earth, the fantastical project has some real-world applications.
"This work is a bit of fun, but it does have a serious side," Cardiff University Prof. Carrie Lear . "Climate models simulate real physical processes which operate in both cooling and warming climates. Scientists working on the SWEET project are using exciting novel techniques to reconstruct the climate of super-warm states of Earth바카라 게임 웹사이트s past.
"They are using this information to test state-of-the-art climate models under conditions of high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, similar to those expected by the end of this century."
And of course, the paper isn't merely for common tongue-speaking Westerosi. There are and translations.
