 | Attitude determination algorithms for a small rotorcraft are proposed and compared. The first algorithm is based on the well known QUEST algorithm used for spacecraft and satellites Due to large vibration in sensors a pseudo-measurement is developed from gyroscope measurements and rotational kinematics. The pseudo-measurement is used within QUEST to smooth attitude estimations A second simple gyro-compensated tilt sensor and compass is proposed and compared to the optimal QUEST solution. ... |

|
| Using seven summer-seasons (1997-2003, over 46,000 volumes) of NEXRAD data, coincident climatologies of summer-season ground flash densities and radar derived, column integrated, precipitation ice mass (IM) were developed, extending global studies of IM and lightning to more regional and cell scales around Houston, TX. Results indicate that local maximums in cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning were indeed accompanied by peaks in IM. Extending previous global findings to cell-scales, we establish a link ... |

|
| Anthropogenic influences such as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and increased aerosol concentrations have been postulated for many years to have an effect on lower tropospheric chemistry, convection, lightning and rainfall. Moreover, these influences have been invoked as possible explanations for the cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning anomalies observed over the Houston metropolitan area. In particular, Orville et al. (2001) and Steiger et al. (2002) reported a 45% increase in annual CG ... |
