Future Work

• Nonlinear effects

  • In our original formulation of the M matrix problem [Equation (a)], we had a term [(?)] that did not depend linearly on the external electric field or aircraft charge
  • For the rest of the derivation, we neglected that term assuming it was small
  • We see evidence in our dataset that the (?) term is not always small
    • The EQ features shown in Figure 7 do not effect each mill equally
    • The first is caused by aircraft turbulence/engine RPM while the others are caused by artificial charging of the aircraft (stinger)
    • Given the linear EQ derived from the mill data, it is not possible to null all “EQ” features in the EX, EY, and EZ plots of Figure 7 (see blue plot vs. red plot)
    • If our assumption of (?) being always small were true, we should be able to null all EQ features shown in Figure 7 with the same EQ term
  • We need to determine how to model this (?) term
  • For a further example of (?) in our Citation ABFM data, EX is often unipolar while traversing anvil clouds
