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 ...

Rock microphysics investigates the physical behaviour of rocks at the grain and pore scale, linking microscale processes to macroscale properties. By integrating experimental, theoretical, and imaging ...

In a new study, co-authored by Fangqun Yu of UAlbany's Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, a team of researchers found that modern “lean-burn” aircraft engines still produce the conditions necessary ...

This popular, often cited text returns in a softcover edition to provide a thorough introduction to statistical physics and thermodynamics, and to exhibit the universal chain of ideas leading from the ...

The way clusters of differently sized water droplet populations are distributed within clouds affects larger-scale cloud properties, such as how light is scattered and how quickly precipitation forms.

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 ...
