Acoustic Waves In The Upper Atmosphere, Geoffrey Blayne Schulthess
Acoustic Waves In The Upper Atmosphere, Geoffrey Blayne Schulthess
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Atmospheric waves can be generated by tropospheric sources such as earthquakes and explosions, causing significant disturbances in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, where radio wave communications take place. For this analysis, they will be separated into two sub-groups called acoustic waves and gravity waves. Because each of these waves have unique frequency ranges, they can be observed and measured in order to determine their source type and location. Past studies attempted to build the connections between these waves with severe storms and earthquakes, which have improved our understanding of their complexity. Because of the complex nature of these waves, simplified …

Characterization Of Pollen Particles Using Lidar, Leda Sox
Characterization Of Pollen Particles Using Lidar, Leda Sox
Graduate Student Posters
We have observed pollen in the local troposphere using the depolarization capabilities of a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system. The polarization characteristics of the received LIDAR signal, along with supplemental pollen forecast data, allowed me to characterize the shape of the pollen particles.
