The scintillation arcs also gave us the velocities of the plasma layers. Far from being as expected, we discovered that one ...

Astronomers have observed a twinkling star and discovered an abundance of mysterious plasma structures in our cosmic ...

Williams, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading and the study’s lead author. The study builds on previous work suggesting that clear-air turbulence, also known as CAT ...

However, a subtler effect involves atmospheric turbulence, which can cause fluctuations—a.k.a. optical scintillation—that ...

It will address turbulence impact and mitigation, especially in challenging environments such as strong turbulence, strong scintillation ... of both Cn² and wind profiles), including free atmosphere ...

In a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters, researchers have discovered that the turbulence in the thermosphere exhibits the same physical laws as the wind in the lower atmosphere.

a Professor of Atmospheric Science in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. This is because pilots rely on earlier flight paths to navigate past areas of bad turbulence.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, researchers at Michigan Tech model cloud processes including turbulence from bottom- to top-of-troposphere atmospheric conditions. Research in atmospheric physics is ...

However, one of the most complex and less understood atmospheric phenomena ... and signal scintillation. The structure ...

From our vantage point, this causes the pulsar to twinkle, or "scintillate." The effect is similar to how turbulence in Earth's atmosphere makes stars twinkle in the night sky.
