Research on atmospheric aerosols w/satellites, models & impacts such as atmos-ocean exchange processes (SOLAS!). Atmos. polarization radiative transfer, #physics overall. Sharing and commenting on papers and sat images of (my) interest #highlatitudedust
a good day for sun bathing?

very good!

sure, go ahead.
here is my public persona and I stand for what I say. I think it is safe to say that this is a sentiment shared by many in my network and probably more around here.

Because absorption is directly related to the volume of the droplet, it is possible to infer (through some complex modeling) the size of the droplet.
Why is this important?
Because if drops are too small, they do not precipitate thus no rain. Thus it is important to understand how this operates.

The same image but at different bands (or wavelengths) we get additional information. In this case, the red/orange image uses channels in the near-infrared (sensitive to the light absorption by droplets). This doesn't happen in the visible so from this fact we can infer more info. 2/n

I totally agree with that aspect of the problem.

In fact, it degrades the quality of review and worsens the problem in that it gives less incentive to accept to do a review.

The vast majority of modern science life is writing that it is mentally consuming because it is often technical (like a grant report) but not creative, thus distracting from actual science exploration. It does shortening really the time of tedious non-science activities.
4/4
