Altitude misestimation caused by the Vaisala RS80 pressure bias and its...
Previous research has found that conventional radiosondes equipped with a traditional pressure sensor can be subject to a pressure bias, particularly in the stratosphere. This...- publication PDF

Observations of solar scattering polarization at high spatial resolution
Context. The weak, turbulent magnetic fields that supposedly permeate most of the solar photosphere are difficult to observe, because the Zeeman effect is virtually blind to...- publication PDF

A multi-model assessment of RKW Theory's relevance to squall line characteristics
The authors evaluate whether the structure and intensity of simulated squall lines can be explained by "RKW theory," which most specifically addresses how density currents...- publication PDF
