IRTG Travel Grants Programme

PhD researcher Giovanni Chellini visited the research group of Dmitri Moisseev at the University of Helsinki for a research stay

I spent the week 20-24 March 2023 at the University of Helsinki visiting Prof. Dmitri Moisseev’s group. I had the opportunity to present and discuss my work with Prof. Moisseev, scientists in his group, as well as scientists from the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). The extensive and constructive discussions allowed me to expand and improve my current work on the impact of turbulence on the growth of ice particles in Arctic low-level mixed-phase clouds. This work is currently being prepared for publication, and the discussions in Helsinki helped significantly improve the quality of the manuscript. Additionally, I worked on a side project, together with Prof. Moisseev, on the topic of quantifying linear depolarization signatures of needle and needle aggregate precipitation particles.
