Experiment to characterize tropical cloud systems

An Experiment to Characterize Videos Stored On The Web

The design of file systems is strongly influenced by measuring the use of existing file systems, such file size distribution and patterns of access. We believe that a similar characterization of video stored on the Internet will help network engineers, codec designers, and other multimedia researchers. We therefore executed an experiment to measure how video data is used on the Web today. In th...

Cloud Seeding Experiment

The experimental data are the result of a series of weather modification experiments conducted in south Florida from 1968 to 1972. These experiments were designed to test a hypothesis that massive injection of silver iodide into cumulus clouds can, under specified conditions, lead to cumulus growth, thereby increased precipitation. On each of 52 days that were deemed suitable for cloud seeding,...

The Cloud Chamber Experiment

The cloud chamber was one of the primary tools used to conduct the first experiments in the starting of the field of particle physics. Experiments were conducted from the 1920s to the 1950s, at which point more elaborate detectors were conceived which had several benefits. Nonetheless, the cloud chamber is still a very valuable tool to look at particle interactions. In this experiment you will ...
