Modelling the response of a CsI(Tl)-PiN photodiode Microscintillator Detector

Justin Tabbett, Karen L. Aplin

The full instrument response of a superminiaturised CsI(Tl)-PiN photodiode radioactivity detector, intended for deployment on a meteorological radiosonde, has been modelled by comb…

Electric field measurements made on a robotic platform

Karen Aplin, Zihao Xiong

This presentation reports the first known data from a field mill mounted on a ground-based robotic platform. The robot's motor and electrostatic charging of its wheels do not pertu…

Atmospheric Electricity at the Ice Giants

K. L. Aplin, G. Fischer, T. A. Nordheim +3

Lightning was detected by Voyager 2 at Uranus and Neptune, and weaker electrical processes also occur throughout planetary atmospheres from galactic cosmic ray (GCR) ionisation. Li…

Miniaturized atmospheric ionization detector

Karen Aplin, Aaron Briggs, Adam Baird +3

A small scintillator-based detector for atmospheric ionization measurements has been developed, partly in response to a need for better ionization data in the weather-forming regio…

Scientific rationale for Uranus and Neptune in situ explorations

O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Cavalié +53

The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are the least understood class of planets in our solar system but the most frequently observed type of exoplanets. Presumed to have a small rocky…

Remote sensing of cloud base charge

R Giles Harrison, Keri Nicoll, Karen Aplin

Layer clouds are abundant in the Earth's atmosphere. Such clouds do not become sufficiently strongly charged to generate lightning, but they show weak charging along the upper and…
