Observations of aerosol-cloud interactions with varying vertical separation between biomass-burning aerosols and stratocumulus clouds over the South-East Atlantic
Cloud and aerosol data collected above, within and below clouds from six research flights during the ObseRvations of Aerosols above Clouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES) field campaign in September 2016 were used to determine how the microphysical properties of marine stratocumulus clouds over …

Uranus orbiter and probe mission : Project Upsilon
… Upsilon-2 shall be descended into Uranus' cloud tops to obtain physical data and imagery well into the atmosphere's depths. Chemical propulsion is employed in place of solar-electric propulsion, with regard to the interplanetary system-level trade tree. The interplanetary trajectory …

Quantifying entrainment and dilution in numerical simulations of developing thunderstorms
Entrainment is the process by which turbulent clouds draw environmental air inward, and this process has long been understood to dilute the cloud, i.e., reduce the cloud liquid water content, buoyancy, and updraft velocity. In cumuli, entrainment results from overturning thermal circulations near …

Multi-scale interactions leading to tropical cyclogenesis in sheared environments
… with VWS having the highest correlation to cold cloud tops in the southwest quadrant. Some monsoon tail rainbands sustain convective organization even after they separated from the pre-existing TCs, but despite the enhanced convective activity, the persistent VWS that produced the rainbands was …

Exoplanet atmospheric exploration and categorization through transmission spectroscopy
… use transmission spectroscopy to separate low-cloud H2-dominated super Earth atmospheres from other types of super Earth atmospheres. To do such, I define a metric called the "relative amplitude" of the spectral features in transmission. I find that spectral features in low-cloud H₂-dominated …
