A very large number of STEM PhDs are entirely publicly funded, with no relationship with or obligation to industry whatsoever. In my discipline, close to 100% of PhD students are sponsored through normal research grants and it pays for the

The problem is you need to define "decent spatial and time resolution." We regularly run kilometer-scale global models that eschew convective parameterizations and instead directly simulate those scales of motion. Over smaller dom

You don't need any of that, all you need to do is collect personal weather station data and use it to statistically post-process/correct numerical model output that is already freely available. This has already been done several t

Thanks for sharing your reference. This is hysteresis, not "sensitivity to initial conditions" - a system is evolving on a particular semi-stable trajectory, and then gets nudged to a new one with a different equilibrium or evolut

This isn't really directly relevant for the form of weather modification - cloud seeding - discussed here, though. Generally speaking, cloud seeding doesn't focus on state changes; you're not trying to materialize a precipita
