Address List

A list of addresses (e-mail, postal mail, phone and FAX) for many AE scientists. This list was collected from the abstract volumes for AGU Fall Meetings and others. Please check your own entry and e-mail any corrections to me.

Atmospheric Electricity Bibliography

This is my personal list of references on atmospheric electricity and charge microphysics. The list has over 1000 entries, and about half have links to the reference's abstract. I have included several hundred references from the AGU "Earth and Space Index," 1988-1994.

• FORTE program at Los Alamos | FORTE Science
  Los Alamos and Sandia operate a satellite called FORTE (Fast On-orbit Recording of Transient Events), an advanced radio frequency impulse detection and characterization experiment. Emphasis is on the measurement of electromagnetic pulses, primarily due to lightning, within a noise environment dominated by continuous wave carriers, such as TV and FM stations. Optical sensors will augment the RF system in characterizing lightning events.
