We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics--parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique an...

Precipitation is a key component of the hydrological cycle and one most important variables in weather climate studies. Accurate reliable precipitation data are crucial for determining trends variability. In this study, eleven different datasets compared, six reanalysis five observational datasets, including ERA5 WFDE5 from ECMWF family, to quantify differences between widely used identify thei...

Abstract. Observations collected during the 25 February 2020 deployment of Vapor In-Cloud Profiling Radar at Stony Brook Observatory clearly demonstrate potential G-band radars for cloud and precipitation research, something that until now was only discussed in theory. The field experiment, which coordinated an X-, Ka-, W- radar, revealed Ka–G pairing can generate differential reflectivity sign...

prediction of annual average precipitation over a regin is one of important issues in watersherd management and natural resources planning. geostatistics is one of the useful methods for precipitation prediction which varies based on type of the variable. this study was conducted in karoon and dez basins located in southwertern of iran. the data set including 20 years of annual precipitation of...
