Abstract: Abstract There is an atmospheric electric field (AEF) or an electric potential gradient (PG) in fair weather between the Earth's surface and the mesosphere/ionosphere, which is positive. During blizzards/snowstorms in the polar regions, an intense… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The effect of turbulence on snow precipitation is not incorporated into present weather forecasting models. Here we show evidence that turbulence is in fact a key influence on both fall speed and spatial distribution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2017.2781625
Abstract: An accurate representation of the electromagnetic (EM) behavior of precipitation particles requires modeling of realistic complex geometry and a numerically efficient technique to calculate averaged scattering properties over multiple random target orientations. The discrete dipole… read more here.
