In-flight encounters with turbulence are a well-known hazard to aviation that is responsible
for numerous injuries each year, with occasional fatalities and structural damage. Not only …

Three months of Doppler lidar wind measurements were obtained during the Arctic Cloud
Summer Experiment on the icebreaker Oden during the summer of 2014. Such ship-borne …

In this paper the contribution of turbulence into the electrification of thunderstorms,
snowstorms, and dust storms is investigated for the first time. A model of large‐scale electric …

The tropical stratosphere is the gateway to the global stratosphere and a commonly
proposed location for solar geoengineering. The dynamics of this remote and difficult to …

A plume of Saharan dust and Iberian smoke was carried across the southern UK on 16th
October 2017, entrained into an Atlantic cyclone which had originated as Hurricane Ophelia …

Turbulence remains one of the leading causes of aviation incidents. Climate change is
predicted to increase the occurrence of clear‐air turbulence and therefore forecasting …

In atmospheric science, measurements above the surface have long been obtained by
carrying instrument packages, radiosondes, aloft using balloons. Whilst occasionally used …

Volcanic Ash: Hazard Observation presents an introduction followed by four sections, each
on a separate topic and each containing chapters from an internationally renowned pool of …

Radiosonde descent profiles have been available from tens of stations for several years now–
mainly from Vaisala RS41 radiosondes. They have been compared with the ascent profiles …

High-resolution wind measurements are crucial for the understanding of dynamic processes
in the atmosphere. In the troposphere and lower stratosphere, radiosondes provide a good …
