Well known for her unique retrievals of cloud properties, a veteran scientist investigates the mystery of secondary ice production
Christine Chiu of Colorado State University investigates clouds. She calls them “complicated 3D objects that evolve fast.”
She studies clouds from below and on all sides with scanning cloud radars and from above with satellite data. Her research [...]

A new article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society draws on a wealth of data from a recent Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility field campaign to demonstrate how land use and soil properties influence temperature and humidity with unexpected strength.
ARM conducted the Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols and Land Ecosystems (HI-SCALE) [...]

Scientists Gather in Argentina to Study the World’s Largest Convective Storms
The Sierras de Córdoba mountain range in north-central Argentina is the birthplace of the largest thunderstorms on Earth. These are the type of storms that contribute most of the rainfall to many regions of the world. Yet to date, a fine-tuned sense of how they [...]
