A Versatile Apparatus for Measuring the Growth Rates of Small Ice Prisms from the Vapor Phase
Kenneth G. Libbrecht
I describe an adaptable apparatus for making precision measurements of the growth of faceted ice prisms from water vapor as a function of temperature, supersaturation, and backgrou…
Toward a Comprehensive Model of Snow Crystal Growth: 6. Ice Attachment Kinetics near -5 C
Kenneth G. Libbrecht
I examine a variety of snow crystal growth measurements taken at a temperature of -5 C, as a function of supersaturation, background gas pressure, and crystal morphology. Both plat…
A Quantitative Physical Model of the Snow Crystal Morphology Diagram
Kenneth G. Libbrecht
I describe a semi-empirical molecular model of the surface attachment kinetics governing ice crystal growth from water vapor as a function of temperature, supersaturation, and crys…
Snow Crystals
Kenneth G. Libbrecht
This monograph reviews our current understanding of the physical dynamics of ice crystal growth, focusing on the spontaneous formation of complex structures from water vapor (calle…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
