• Enhancing higher-energy spectral resolution for electron particle simulations in air 

      Schmalzried, Anthony; Luque, Alejandro; Lehtinen, Nikolai Grigorievich (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      In the presence of an electric field, electrons would theoretically accelerate asymptotically to relativistic energies. However, regular collisions with air molecules limit the increase in electron energy. The stochastic ...
    • Modeling lightning observations from space-based platforms (CloudScat.jl 1.0) 

      Luque, Alejandro; Gordillo-Vázquez, Francisco José; Li, Dongshuai; Malagón-Romero, Alejandro; Pérez-Invernón, F. J.; Schmalzried, Anthony; Soler, Sergio; Chanrion, Olivier; Heumesser, Matthias; Neubert, Torsten; Reglero, Victor; Østgaard, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We describe a computer code that simulates how a satellite observes optical radiation emitted by a lightning flash after it is scattered within an intervening cloud. Our code, CloudScat.jl, is flexible, fully open source ...
