Atmospheric Physics Research at The University of Mississippi Group Members Dr. Marshall Dr. Stolzenburg Contact Information Thunderstorm electricity is the main focus for the Atmospheric Physics Group. A Thunderstorm in New Mexico This subject has been investigated by many people over the last 250 years, ever since Benjamin Franklin's experiments first showed that thunderstorms are electrified. However, surprisingly little is known of the electrical structure of storms or how storms become electrified. We investigate atmospheric electricity problems primarily through observational methods. In collaboration with scientists from other institutions and l aboratories , we launch instrumented balloons into storms. Our primary research area is in determining the electrical, dynamical, and precipitation characteristics of thunderstorms and the physics of lightning. We broaden these studies in various ways, as described under Areas of Research and evidenced in our List of Publications and Curriculum Vitae Our research requires data collection. To see how we accomplish our field work and some of the places we go, see Modes of Research and the Photo Gallery of mobile ballooning activities in Oklahoma and Texas during a project in 1994.

Skip Navigation Atmospheric Physics Electromagnetic radiation coming from the sun travels at 300,000 km/s. This radiation comprises wavelengths that vary from the very short (gamma rays and X-rays) to the very long (microwaves). The visible spectrum contains wavelengths between about 0.4 and 0.7 �m (400 and 700 nanometers, or nm). Radiation at wavelengths less than about 400 nm is ultraviolet and accounts for about 7% of total solar radiation. When discussing ozone, we are concerned with radiation in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition to gamma rays and X-rays, which are absorbed high in the atmosphere, ultraviolet (uv) radiation in the atmosphere is divided into three spectra: uva , uvb, and uvc. Uva falls right below visible light, with wavelengths that vary from 320 to 400 nm. Although it is not absorbed by ozone, uva is the least energetic and the least damaging of all uv radiation. Uvb radiation, which ranges in wavelength from 280 to 320 nm, is more energetic than uva and thought to be harmful to the biosphere. Fortunately, it exists in lesser amounts and is largely absorbed by ozone. Uvc, at 200 to 280 nm, which is the most energetic and most damaging but least prevalent of the uv radiation types, is totally absorbed by ozone and normal diatomic oxygen high in the atmosphere.

Seven of the faculty are active in atmospheric physics research, joined in this research by undergraduate and graduate students , by adjunct and emeritus faculty, by post-docs and by colleagues at other institutions. Current research interests include cloud physics and thunderstorm structure, lightning and atmospheric electricity, the interaction of clouds and climate, middle atmospheric photochemistry, and atmospheric radioactivity. The faculty and students are often active in developing specialized, front-line instrumentation in order to study these phenomena. They may take part in field work often in collaboration with worldwide atmospheric science research efforts in order to gather critical data. They may also develop theoretical models and use such models to interpret their data in the larger setting of the physics of the earth's atmosphere and climate. Current research interests include Cloud physics: from the internal dynamics of clouds (such as convection and ice/rain formation) to their role in global climate patterns.

20. Skywatch Article: Why Is The Sky Blue? Why is the sky blue in language that everyone can understand. http://www.sky-watch.com/articles/skyblue.html

Home Articles Guide to Observing Tour of the Constellations ... Book Reviews Why Is The Sky Blue? High Noon �Why is the sky blue?� may seem to be a simple question, but it actually touches some of the deepest aspects of astronomy and skygazing because it deals with light. �Seeing� something whether it�s a table across the room or a galaxy millions of light years away consists of light entering our eyes and the brain taking the light and creating a picture within our brain. So before asking the question �Why is the sky blue?�, it�s necessary to know the answer to the question, �What is light?� What Is Light? Light consists of weightless particles (that contain no mass) traveling at about 186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second. These particles of light are called photons. But light also exhibits the characteristics of a wave . Traditionally, wave activity is explained by imagining a pebble being dropped into a lake, but that imaginary lake has been filled with imaginary pebbles years ago. So instead, imagine a long rope tied to the side of a wall and a girl shaking rhythmically one end of the rope up and down. Each up and down shake of the rope is a cycle and the number of cycles per second is the wave�s frequency. If you observe the rope from the side, you will see a wave pattern of alternating crests and troughs. The distance from one crest to another is the wavelength. When the girl shakes the ropes more rapidly, the frequency will naturally increase, but the wavelength will shorten.
