synchronous

The spread of telegraph lines during the mid-19th century presented a new possibility: Two people could have a synchronous conversation from hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.

The size of the heat dome made it particularly troubling because it resulted in what the study authors called widespread synchronous burning, with many disparate areas igniting at the same time.

If this type of synchronous activity persists in future years, it could force fire managers to reevaluate the reliability of resource-sharing arrangements, he said.

The team analyzed nearly 50 hours of synchronous tag data which included 16 tags from seven distinct groups of whales.

Now, in a paper published in the journal Physical Review E, researchers from the University of Cambridge have discovered how such synchronous cicada swarms can emerge despite these temperature differences.
