Dreary state of precipitation in global models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used CloudSat data to assess the realism of global model precipitation and found that the observed and modeled precipitation are significantly different from the character of liquid precipitation produced by global weather and climate models.

Atom probe tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, a focused ion beam milling system was used for atom probe tomography for the characterization of the size, morphology and composition of ultrafine features in a variety of materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of high-resolution versions of the Met Office unified model for forecasting convection over the United Kingdom

TL;DR: A systematic investigation of the properties of high-resolution versions of the Met Office Unified Model for short-range forecasting of convective rainfall events shows that the 4- and 1-km-gridlength models often give more realistic-looking precipitation fields because convection is represented explicitly rather than parameterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some comments on models for field enhancement.

TL;DR: The basis of these simple formulae used to estimate the apex field-enhancement factor gamma(a)associated with a pointed protrusion on a flat planar surface is reexamines and it is confirmed that they are less secure than is sometimes thought.
