    • Characterizing ice particles using two-dimensional reflections of a lidar beam 

      Goerke, Marissa; Ulanowski, Zbigniew; Ritter, Georg; Hesse, Evelyn; Neely, Ryan; Taylor, Laurence; Stillwell, Robert; Kaye, Paul (2017-07-01)
      We report a phenomenon manifesting itself as brief flashes of light on the snow surface near a lidar beam. The flashes are imaged and interpreted as specular reflection patterns from individual ice particles. Such patterns ...
    • Surface roughness during depositional growth and sublimation of ice crystals 

      Chou, Cedric; Voigtländer, Jens; Ulanowski, Zbigniew; Herenz, Paul; Bieligk, Henner; Clauss, Tina; Niedermeier, Dennis; Hartmann, Susan; Ritter, Georg; Stratmann, F. (2018-09-27)
      Ice surface properties can modify the scattering properties of atmospheric ice crystals and therefore affect the radiative properties of mixed-phase and cirrus clouds. The Ice Roughness Investigation System (IRIS) is a new ...
    • Wigner flow reveals topological order in quantum phase space dynamics 

      Steuernagel, Ole; Kakofengitis, Dimitris; Ritter, Georg (2013-01)
      The behaviour of classical mechanical systems is characterised by their phase portraits, the collections of their trajectories. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle precludes the existence of sharply defned trajectories, ...
