Observations, modelling and theory of cloud processes<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Welcome to the Remote Sensing and Clouds group here in the Meteorology Department at Reading University.<\/p>\n

We study cloud processes (microphysical, dynamical and radiative) using a variety of techniques ranging from observations of real clouds to idealised theory and models of individual processes.\u00a0We also use state of the art remote-sensing observations to study clouds (and other processes in the atmosphere), and develop new measurement techniques and retrieval methods.<\/p>\n

We have close links to the Chilbolton Observatory, which hosts a suite of radars, lidars, radiometers and other remote-sensing \/ meteorological instrumentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recent Research<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a> Laboratory experiments investigating falling snowflakes<\/a> - Tuesday January 15 2019 -<\/span> -<\/span> In the UK there are, on average, just 23.7 days of snow fall or sleet a year. However, precipitation in the form of ice crystals, or snowflakes, is an important feature within the atmosphere, both in the UK and worldwide. Research indicates that 50% of global precipitation events are linked to the production of ice in clouds, either falling as snow or melting as it falls to produce rain1. This percentage increases to 85% of precipitation events in mid-latitudes, covering the UK, and 98% of precipitation events in Polar Regions. The small ice particles formed in clouds precipitate slowly, at… Read More...<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Group Meetings<\/h3>\n
\n\t

We meet most weeks during term time, 2-3pm on Thursdays in BH 1L43 (and also on MS Teams).<\/p>\n

All are welcome, please contact Jen Stout (j.r.stout@pgr.reading.ac.uk) for more information, or if you would like to volunteer to give a talk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
