Ep59 - Gaano kalaki ang patak ng ulan?

Cloud physicist Marco Polo A. Ibañez shares his experience in weather modeling and his research on raindrop size distribution during the Southwest Monsoon in Western Luzon. He also shares the importance of measuring the raindrop size in better understanding atmospheric processes.⌛Chapters00:00 Introduction to Weather Modeling03:00 Experience at the Manila Observatory and NASA06:07 Growing Interest in Atmospheric Science09:01 Analysis of Raindrop Size Distribution12:08 Instruments and Technical Aspects of Research15:03 Findings on Raindrop Size Distribution17:55 Practical Applications of Research20:45 Challenges in Conducting Research23:54 Experiences and Lessons from Research27:06 Future Plans and Aspirations30:06 Advice for Aspiring Researchers📚Reference: Ibañez MP, Pura AG, Sajulga RA, David SJ. 2023.
