Cloud physicist Marco Polo A. Ibañez shares his experience in weather modeling and his research on raindrop size distribution during the Southwest Monsoon in Western Luzon. He also shares the importance of measuring the raindrop size in better understanding atmospheric processes. ⌛Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Weather Modeling 03:00 Experience at the Manila Observatory and NASA 06:07 Growing Interest in Atmospheric Science 09:01 Analysis of Raindrop Size Distribution 12:08 Instruments and Technical Aspects of Research 15:03 Findings on Raindrop Size Distribution 17:55 Practical Applications of Research 20:45 Challenges in Conducting Research 23:54 Experiences and Lessons from Research 27:06 Future Plans and Aspirations 30:06 Advice for Aspiring Researchers 📚Reference: Ibañez MP, Pura AG, Sajulga RA, David SJ. 2023.
