Critical Size of Silver Iodide Containing Glaciogenic Cloud Seeding Particles
Geophysical Research LettersCloud seeding is considered a practical but unproved method to enhance precipitation or suppress hail, due to insufficient knowledge of ice formation and evolution after seeding clouds with ice nucleating particles.

Measurements of a rotor flow in ground effect and visualization of the brown-out phenomenon [PDF]
, 2008 Quantitative and qualitative results of a series of experiments conducted on a rotor in ground effect at low forward speeds are presented. The velocity over a wide area of the ground effect wake was measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), and ...

Cloud boundary height measurements using lidar and radar
, 2003 Using only lidar or radar an accurate cloud boundary height estimate is often not possible. The combination of lidar and radar can give a reliable cloud boundary estimate in a much broader range of cases.

Benchmarking headtail with electron cloud instabilities observed in the LHC
, 2013 After a successful scrubbing run in the beginning of 2011, the LHC can be presently operated with high intensity proton beams with 50 ns bunch spacing. However, strong electron cloud effects were observed during machine studies with the nominal beam with

Position paper on the potential of inadvertent weather modification of the Florida peninsula resulting from the stabilized ground cloud [PDF]
Based on the climatology of the Florida Peninsula, we assessed the risk for weather modification. Certain weather situations warrant launch rescheduling because of the risk of possible impact on hurricanes, hail formation and lightning activity, strong ...
