Laser Beam Atmospheric Propagation Modelling for Aerospace LIDAR Applications
Atmospheric effects have a significant impact on the performance of airborne and space laser systems. Traditional models used to predict propagation effects rely heavily on simplified assumptions of the atmospheric properties and their interactions with ...

Turbulence-Resistant Femtosecond Filaments via Nonlinear Self-Guiding and OAM Modulation [PDF]
As a prominent frontier in ultrafast laser–matter interaction, femtosecond laser filamentation holds great potential for atmospheric pollutant detection and remote sensing. However, its practical application in the open atmosphere is severely hampered by

Diagnostic study of geomagnetic storm-induced ionospheric changes over very low-frequency signal propagation paths in the mid-latitude D region [PDF]
We performed a diagnostic study of geomagnetic storm-induced disturbances that are coupled to the mid-latitude D region by quantifying the propagation characteristics of very low-frequency (VLF) radio signals from transmitters located in Cumbria, UK ...

On the propagation of waves in the atmosphere [PDF]
The leading-order equations governing the unsteady dynamics of large-scale atmospheric motions are derived, via a systematic asymptotic approach based on the thin-shell approximation applied to the ellipsoidal model of the Earth’s geoid.

Atmospheric drag effects on modelled low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites during the July 2000 Bastille Day event in contrast to an interval of geomagnetically quiet conditions [PDF]
In this work, we simulated the atmospheric drag effect on two model SmallSats (small satellites) in low Earth orbit (LEO) with different ballistic coefficients during 1-month intervals of solar–geomagnetic quiet and perturbed conditions. The goal of this

Uncertainty Quantification for Infrasound Propagation in the Atmospheric Environment
The propagation of infrasound in the atmosphere is influenced by atmospheric environmental parameters, which affect the precise localization of the infrasound source. Therefore, it has become crucial to quantify the influence of atmospheric environmental

Is the Anisotropic Tilt Angle Necessary in the Turbulence Spectrum of Refractive-Index Fluctuations?
With the deepening of atmospheric turbulence research, scientists have discovered that the anisotropy of turbulence cells cannot be ignored. The anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence model is more in line with the actual situation of atmospheric ...

On the propagation of nonlinear waves in the atmosphere
Starting from the general equations of fluid dynamics that describe the atmosphere, and using asymptotic methods, we present the derivation of the leading-order equations for nonlinear wave propagation in the troposphere. The only simplifying assumption is that the flow in the atmosphere exists in a thin shell over a sphere.
