EDUCATION:
Ph.D., Physics, University of Nevada, Reno
M.S., Physics, University of Nevada, Reno
B.S., Physics, California State University, Sacramento
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Dr. Bailey did his dissertation work in atomic physics with an emphasis on
charged particle interactions and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopy.
Since joining DRI, he has developed a cold temperature vacuum system
for the investigation of ice crystal growth over a broad range of
temperatures, pressures and humidities. This system is particularly suited
for the investigation of ice growth under cirrus and polar stratospheric
conditions which is the current focus of his research. The system has also
been used to investigate corona discharge from ice crystals under simulated
atmospheric conditions comparable to those found in thunderstorms.
Additional research efforts include the laboratory investigation of optical
and radiative properties of ice crystals with a fall tower growth apparatus.
Dr. Bailey, in collaboration with the Nevada Terawatt Facility of the
University of Nevada, Reno Department of Physics has recently completed the
construction and initial testing of a real magnitude lightning discharge
apparatus capable of delivering hundreds of kiloamps at hundreds to one
thousand kilovolts to a discharge chamber containing water clouds, ice
clouds, and aerosols. Future projects currently under development include
the development and deployment of ice crystal imaging instruments for use
in field.
RESEARCH AREAS:
