In "Petrichor," which refers to the smell of rain, Munisteri quotes from Lar Lubovitch and Trisha Brown.

Take a deep breath in, savoring the smell of petrichor — the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil.

Buie and his colleagues hypothesized that this familiar scent, called petrichor, is the result of aromatic compounds from plants and soil bubbling skyward in the champagne-like effervescence of a rainstorm.

The smell after rain hits the ground has a name: petrichor, from the Greek words petra , meaning stone, and ichor , which is the fluid like blood in the veins of gods.

"Inosculation" got nine hundred and eighty likes, more than "sastrugi" (long, wavelike ridges of hardened snow) but not as many as "petrichor" (the smell in the air as or before rain falls on hot dry ground).

Some of the water evaporates from warm concrete walkways, wafting an artificial petrichor scent over entrance D2, the gate in the north-west corner of the compound which leads to a sixth factory as yet only half built.

Because for the most part, the band function almost entirely without self-consciousness (maybe that's why a mostly instrumental track like "How to Draw / Petrichor," the closest the record comes to posturing, if we're being honest, jars slightly), and this feels like a huge part of their success and allure.

After it hits the ground, it's memories: my mother, on crutches, moving toward me, in rain, that last dry summer with her, or a man, who later became my husband, in a tent with me, in the petrichor air, our bodies becoming changelings, becoming a new house- hold, becoming new gods, with their own new myths.

It's true that authors like me don't conform to the Western ideal of "the Author" — a lone white male sweating whiskey over his typewriter, perhaps pausing to light another cigarette and glare at the horizon — but I fail to see how telling stories with smell and touch, with petrichor and heat and the shadows of leaves on pavement, is inherently inferior to telling them with words.

Hughes has published two full-length poetry collections, both from NYQ Books (a division of the New York Quarterly). Petrichor (2010) was his debut collection. In it, Hughes dealt with family, God, the miraculous and the mundane. Uttering the Holy (2012) built on many of the same themes as Petrichor.

The smell of petrichor will entice you and a pluviophile would, if he could, bottle up that heavenly aroma of love and nature.

The phenomenon was first scientifically described in a March 1964 paper by Australian researchers Isabel Bear and Dick Thomas, published in the journal Nature. Apparently, the printed text is a copy from CSIRO journal Ecos, issue February 1976, p. 32. Actually print of A.Word.A.Day --petrichor.

Soil and water being splashed by a raindrop Petrichor () is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek petra (), "rock", or petros (), "stone", and īchōr (), the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.

Richard Grenfell Thomas (29 March 1901 – 1974) was an Australian mineralogist and biochemist. He was a senior research scientist in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), ending his career as chief of the Division of Mineral Chemistry. In 1964 he and Isabel Bear scientifically described the smell of rain, for which he coined the term "petrichor".

The eighth Volume, "The Coffin", finds the family dealing with the effects of Alana's miscarriage after the events on Phang. Vaughan stated in an interview that Petrichor would continue to play an important role in Hazel's development, and that what has happened to The Will is another subplot explored in the arc.Renuad, Jeffrey (May 31, 2017).

After his retirement from the CSIRO he continued to collaborate on the subject with experimental officer Isabel Bear. In March 1964 they published an article titled "Nature of Argillaceous Odour" in the journal Nature, which scientifically described the phenomenon. Thomas coined the term "petrichor" to refer to it, from the Greek "petra" (stone) and "ichor" (essence). Their experiments involved inducing the odour by steam distilling rocks that had been previously exposed to warm, dry conditions.

The arc closes with Hazel successfully reunited with her parents and the revelation that Alana is once again pregnant. The seventh Volume, "The War for Phang", began with issue 37 and was released on August 31, 2016. It is the beginning of Book Three of the series, and as indicated by its title, Sophie's home, the comet Phang, is the central setting. The family deals with the addition of Petrichor to the reunited family, and Alana's second pregnancy.

Raindrops that move at a slower rate tend to produce more aerosols; this serves as an explanation for why the petrichor is more common after light rains. Actinomycetes is the bacterium responsible for producing spores in soil. The human nose is extremely sensitive to geosmin and is able to detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion. Some scientists believe that humans appreciate the rain scent because ancestors may have relied on rainy weather for survival.

Geosmin is also responsible for the earthy taste of beetroots and a contributor to the strong scent (petrichor) that occurs in the air when rain falls after a dry spell of weather or when soil is disturbed. In chemical terms, it is a bicyclic alcohol with formula , a derivative of decalin. Its name is derived from the Ancient Greek "earth" and "smell". The word was coined in 1965 by the American biochemist Nancy N. Gerber (1929–1985) and the French-American biologist Hubert A. Lechevalier (1926–2015).

" On NPR, Mike Katzif wrote, "Outside of that ambitious closing piece ["Petrichor"], Big Boat feels less musically adventurous than many previous Phish records. But its simpler songcraft is purposeful in the way it provides a glimpse inside the heads of Anastasio, McConnell, Gordon and Fishman. After years of revealing itself through flurries of notes, hypnotic grooves and exploratory improvisations that often masked deeper meaning, Phish now seems most engaged when singing from the heart." On Pitchfork, Sam Sodomsky wrote, "Big Boat is at times overwrought and half-assed, gratingly silly and embarrassingly self-serious, both tedious and underwhelming. In other words, it’s a new Phish album.

In Botswana, the Setswana word for rain, pula, is used as the name of the national currency, in recognition of the economic importance of rain in its country, since it has a desert climate. Several cultures have developed means of dealing with rain and have developed numerous protection devices such as umbrellas and raincoats, and diversion devices such as gutters and storm drains that lead rains to sewers. Many people find the scent during and immediately after rain pleasant or distinctive. The source of this scent is petrichor, an oil produced by plants, then absorbed by rocks and soil, and later released into the air during rainfall.

Thomas coined the term "petrichor" to refer to what had previously been known as "argillaceous odour". In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, a metabolic by-product of certain actinobacteria, which is emitted by wet soil, producing the distinctive scent; ozone may also be present if there is lightning. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil slows seed germination and early plant growth.

These volatiles are used as chemical cues, making soil atmosphere the seat of interaction networks playing a decisive role in the stability, dynamics and evolution of soil ecosystems. Biogenic soil volatile organic compounds are exchanged with the aboveground atmosphere, in which they are just 1–2 orders of magnitude lower than those from aboveground vegetation. We humans can get some idea of the soil atmosphere through the well-known 'after-the-rain' scent, when infiltering rainwater flushes out the whole soil atmosphere after a drought period, or when soil is excavated, a bulk property attributed in a reductionist manner to particular biochemical compounds such as petrichor or geosmin.

In January 2020, Orbit Books (a science fiction and fantasy imprint of Hachette Book Group, USA and Little, Brown UK) announced the acquisition of "an incredible new epic fantasy series" from Okungbowa. They referred to The Nameless Republic as "an evocative tale of myth and magic [that] invites readers into a rich and vibrant world inspired by West-African empires." Okungbowa himself commented: "This series is my love letter to all of us who know the magic that makes West-Africa tick–the lore and music, the harmattan and petrichor, the jollof rice and fried plantain." The first of these books, Son of the Storm, is slated for release in May 2021.

"Petrichrist"'s name is a portmanteau of petrichor and Christ, and musically documents Crampton herself driving in her Ford Ranger up the Shenandoah Mountain in Virginia, intended as a depiction of "an encounter between mountain and vehicle, interactions of non-human objects touching one another in a Worlding where all things have agency." "Wing" is a piece in two parts based on particular natural cycles in prehistory; it portrays an impact event, leading into "negative photosynthesis" and finally fern spikes; the track is also dedicated to black pianist Margaret Bonds, whose piano pieces were formulative on the album among Crampton's influences. "Axacan" is named for and musically depicts the Ajacán Mission, where the first Spanish settlement in Virginia occurred violently.

Multiple critics compared "Frail State of Mind" to the works of English musician Jon Hopkins (pictured). In his review of "Frail State of Mind" for NME, Dahl called the song "prime back-of-the-N29-at-2am listening" and drew comparisons to Burial and Jon Hopkins, along with the band's own "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime" (2018) and "I Like America & America Likes Me" (2018). Sofia Andrade of The Harvard Crimson echoed Dahl's statement, observing similarities between the single and the sounds of their third studio album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (2018). Andrade specifically linked "Frail State of Mind" with "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime" (2018), "How to Draw / Petrichor" (2018), and "I Like America & America Likes Me" (2018), calling the song "the link between the two Music for Cars albums".

After graduating from the Latvian Academy of Sports Education, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Dance Stage Production & Fitness, she moved to Toronto in October 2009 to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and singer/songwriter. As her music stage name of LIVVA, she achieved recognition in 2014 with her self-released debut album, Behind Closed Doors, which sold more than 10,000 copies in Canada. After a few independent multilingual films, she was cast in 2018 as the lead in Junga Song's movie The Petrichor alongside famous Russian star Aleksei Serebryakov (which also featured the 2015 Junior, 2016 and 2017 Senior World Champion and 2018 Olympic double silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva in a cameo). The film follows the story of a retired figure skater who decides to pursue her skating career again in her late twenties, as a nod to her short-lived figure skating career.
