Remote Sensing

Self-guided high-intensity filaments generated by ultrashort laser pulses can initiate water condensation and aerosol particle growth, even at less than 100% relative humidity.

The cost and availability of these important materials have had their ups and downs. The optics industry is using several strategies to make sure future needs are met.

Satellite-measured elevation data was used to quantify the water levels of the largest lakes in the Tibetan Plateau.

Studies of precipitation and biomass production in the Carpathian Basin indicate warmer summers in the next century.

Besides particulates, optical turbulence also impacts visibility in the ocean.
