Cloud microphysics examines the formation, growth and phase transitions of cloud particles—both liquid droplets and ice crystals—and their interactions with atmospheric aerosols. Tiny aerosol ...
Clouds are made up of individual, microscopic spheres of water, or hydrometeors, that change and interact with one another based on environmental conditions and the characteristics of the hydrometeor ...
This cloud microphysics study is a part of 'Physics and Dynamics of tropical clouds programme' under which a 'High Altitude Cloud Physics Laboratory and Monitoring' (HACPLM) will be set up at ...
As climate models with resolution high enough to represent many of the complex details of clouds become more commonplace, researchers need to know whether these models can accurately simulate ...
Alexandria Johnson does hard science on the most nebulous of subjects: clouds. As an atmospheric scientist and assistant professor of practice in Purdue University’s College of Science, she studies ...
The UWKA taxiing on an icy tarmac prior to a SNOWIE mission. Example of WCR observations of a snowstorm over complex terrain, from top to bottom reflectivity, (hydrometeor) vertical velocity, and ...
Research led by Professor Ming Xue from the University of Oklahoma's Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms has uncovered new insights into microphysics parameterization (MP) schemes, ...
