    • Aerosol-cloud Interactions from Urban, Regional, to Global Scales 
      Wang, Yuan (2013-07-30)
      The studies in this dissertation aim at advancing our scientific understandings about physical processes involved in the aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction and quantitatively assessing the impacts of aerosols ...
    • An Affine Based Homomorphic Encryption Scheme 
      Loyka, Kyle (2016-08-30)
      Standard encryption protocols do not allow for native searching or modification of data, without decryption. In this scenario, whoever is performing the operations on this file must also have the encryption key. Homomorphic ...
    • Computer On-Demand Architecture (CODArc) 
      Schwartz, Daniel Eric; Bui, Hung Quoc (2020-04-20)
      This paper proposes a new computer architecture that is designed to be specifically lean and secure. Due to recent advances in network speeds which allow users to pull data from the internet just as fast as from local hard ...
    • Evaluating the efficacy of models in predicting cloud feedback patterns 
      Muller, Jacob (2020-09-16)
      Historical estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) potentially underestimate the true value of our climate system’s ECS due to the fact that the warming pattern experienced over the last century is different ...
    • Investigation of the aerosol-cloud interaction using the WRF framework 
      Li, Guohui (2009-05-15)
      In this dissertation, a two-moment bulk microphysical scheme with aerosol effects is developed and implemented into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to investigate the aerosol-cloud interaction. Sensitivities ...
    • Satellite Remote Sensing of Mid-level Clouds 
      Jin, Hongchun 1980- (2012-11-07)
      This dissertation aims to study the mid-level clouds using satellite observations. It consists of two major parts: characteristics (including cloud top/base heights, cloud top pressure and temperature, and cloud thickness) ...
    • Use of airs and modis thermal infrared channels to retrieve ice cloud properties 
      Yost, Christopher Rogers (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
      In this study, we use thermal infrared channels to retrieve the optical thickness and effective particle radius of ice clouds. A physical model is used in conjunction with Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) temperature ...
